Hanging out at Times 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNUWHsJ5ru
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPrkxvb1K9
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBx6n7JFpY
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU4ol74ayx
But that didn't matter. 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ahC6fNIXa
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrTfVORBbf
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlaTBSQGso
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNJ6s311Mu
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx70MpSsaAf
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUNDx8FG0t
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEPFIKYmWH
actually played around with the adorable kids.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsJipb9XTg
There were plenty of 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hn0bIFHgj
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3TyUt5sTO
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLLNW6NR8L
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3NIR8O6mk
fans too.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOedcyEjVEI
The time we were done 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N9kYW7aYU
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff5Q2UtiVu
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO8pNGcl44
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuzCJAxTAa
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8lPswC4Qy
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZFCSoHS47
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3rFHZD4Ps
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6jzi9KtLt
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi16iQNCPzM
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkRskzlJsh
previous day, of course.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfhT39Desy
As much as the managers 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIjhqnAzi7
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUKS7kacSL
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrLYdD7a7A
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOhOOLTlK4
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAdDgzc6OR
Right now, this very 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzftZL5upd5
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ9m38Cm1O
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd771EUj1N6
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQwQX3dtnz
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIVXr029Do
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT4RpYLyii
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DxyeO6q1T
and I just couldn't take it.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5QPg6ch5m
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXWLcgXRkg
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhwKKHlYlQ
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAYXG42rsx
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkHEtjtKqa
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gQY1dEfvS
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxGtTiuoGb
"I thought you said your plan would work."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb6wi01tzs
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCms3FrhAk
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hP4LNVwmA
I felt like slapping my 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12aVrwKYc2
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfbasfOgKl
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkzMDqg03b
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybTFD0iXzm
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPR9t6ZXA2
off.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENbyMvVUnJ
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIZXtYk64m
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xn8Y79t9G
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHL6USgWz5
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB8KuTox6e
I shrugged. She read my 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YIe9ho9FJ
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9LqbdFESH
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoeLTpdQ2y
me the whole time."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GcScE48Sg
I sat down on my bed as 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93DYYWzYBI
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyNKN6Om6P
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qbGISqXOH
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN8k6Rka6o
"Gosh, you really should545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6u00OXtoC
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5XDyJjgxp
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sQsxxms6i
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRu0YEoM7S
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5aChy18J2
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtaTYSxCkI
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVYp3gejXa
"Mike is annoying 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8VTDq5Hmm
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pf6pabi9u
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmht1Zkf9qt
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcqZYBCwiF
"You're right. I should burn him instead."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ntcrN4WMe
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLENpQ7qN8p
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXUvdHT3W4
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wSrzIPPxc
"Sorry, but just so you 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kNWzeHgM8
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBaQdT6ZwS
that pic of you and him together."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0yFEoWhYS
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiFABAEpd7
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6AHAnf2oR
I blushed and at the 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpAOFHvVvO
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEOkhWUXD6
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YmjWWBh47
other hidden agenda.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6LIEipOFI
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGURekqxho1
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6xB02ivdn
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1UWyuWQEq
I sighed in surrender. 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTTWLRYrOc
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cZPMDU9rn
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcbzMsMIlz
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fd0sGhWik
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."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXdLiJaQyt
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK4BnioL2n
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP2f7GNf2H
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3LJ3jz0MP
Zoey had an excited look545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQe1muEwoM
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtgiiaHd6a
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkZzKg0p6n
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoI5qDtgDQ
clearly show all over her face.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHBAWLtOdu
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDeF0ed348
I shook my head. "And?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwydWMKIUM
Zoey folded her arms, 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQIMGexp9O
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciMqzbiqaa
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL04yUtJzFX
"Hold that thought. This545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZcjNUG8U7
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsa9F7CfDv
after Seunghoon posted that picture."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFx95PGOrB
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4Os52gGSd
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DbesrJfG3
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK8Vwgj6sf
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevDfo5hVWl
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QZzE41trf
"Well, he hid in our closet."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6R3D9rdnZ
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV8ZR1i1HP
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tog2Kzd3U
"Ya, why?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ113TUkNWDQ
"Looks like we just 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfURWqSIKhT
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqIKFX0gNI
whom we consider perfect as our bias."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo7w8CEG6c
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."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgk7BhBa9l
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlGfDXWgbq
"What do you mean? You 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEGxWBN529
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6tX5KG5Zs
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVi3cwazHv
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqUHNCG8ps
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQOK95qBlN
"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."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5EeYTniM2
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTacjoAGiPY
"I wanted to but I kept 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs4TAmrLX6
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4itzQyZQCt
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc8kJZr35v
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tL2cB35QX
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB57Fv1gYC9
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE50fVaP0R
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm1M99W61C
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37tpyG1nq5
I quickly stood up and 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAnFf4idxV
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvVz52ycmQ
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIxfF8wehd
her back.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X9Ndr3mju
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI6FnaiIBz
"Zoey, you're going to 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdgEnusQRp
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j10fu5dn7
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs7smONlNA
own hair pink in the next ten years."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ150u26sOJZ
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvnzYohalU
"You're lying."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemveU8pdvm
"I'm telling the truth!"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVwHwntve0
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLqiV8ijYM
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZVWbNXJEH
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDu9b7Yg0H
"I can't tell you that."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBsKqltO4d
"Why?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcWhPl1tZg
"Because it's 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8em6piN8Sb
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIdYVNNgd8
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHECURKy8Sd
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVyRXwvRUW
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLhPWsMArx
"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."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbqa0p1jMy
"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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRGDDoLhtk
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIhbxxjRp5
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QBrOaLE6p
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQhvjTsJ92
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb0AbAiohZ
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZTenAeaom
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23ZiD2ZUDk
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT6rrlmgoJ
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJGFLLJ1Rk
I playfully rolled my 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5D6wEqrrX
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCS5llow1N
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hf8uolSM5
also looked worried.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI2RgmOCfd
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JtcnVcqDr
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCSj396RQy
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGzj9S3mbH
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluUMYowrB7
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfkeief7h2
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIkNigk9Hd
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rpWk6Hzlq
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojYAKWX6ss
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA996mQeXEz
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM5AFyYLdG
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXJ857F2Ol
"Okay, first of all," 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbjusfuvb9
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNw9ml2gcu
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLCcNIQhtP
he wasn't mad at you."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cQAAjji8M
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoLSwro4Jq
"That, he couldn't say."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hb8UwTbe4
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEDORbWmBG
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHSH9op5lW
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYvR0ku7tI
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy7LLVZ8er
Christine pressed the 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAtUpb10eT
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sLrwyxfBY
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37puX0jVWf
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7MmMQkx3G
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYP59KZT5F
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFMP4fkLZc
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtITqDVcC1C
We got to YG right on 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexc3cfUvpF
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpUuuoIZSb
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ04kLx4Mz
arrived a few seconds earlier.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe9VrCtq8o
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc14vSOSm1
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn08R3QRMn
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhtdnYcKyW
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvbl5CXHej
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCN8Asiteu
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjlLhARTaI
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4rS64KsiW
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyeMoQfTtj
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndthinhVuy
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndyeRibflF
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pc9RNtqij
"There will be no such 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoXVpV334o
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuNkTZcNfi
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcoRvAVMRN
"And you're making it 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOpnsY72rp
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiQUxYOhmG
pouted his lip and scratched his head.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xZRZuZ7Px
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ifv5FVE3D
"Trust me, you don't 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfkR8gXulD
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPOU6GvvIi
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqyqzHFwDt
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MGwuXTkkj
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIfwWxpGlA
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdnccCgT4K
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOpjWh4fie
"Look, whether they are 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM1S07VMQc
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvojVRArvk
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeHPci8IkU
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxLwRrQsrE
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC6kSsjDuh
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVGfTvL3hH
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHAnTV8rW4
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsGvJVUdEq
I gave Lee a sad smile 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEQnIljUuw
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRz1ZUbzFb
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zSvkR1ZfA
your life. Like suicide.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUTUKLCO1j
We started our way 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsumRKFjgjP
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIaAvUPruE
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb7sdY2WKL
and my jean trousers. Nothing.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QrxMtJEaz
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGw5t5J8FL
I quickly ran out of the545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPEWE5KXai
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ664va2WPg
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh7c9NgPaT
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPskpGfUKid
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2USdGj7wN
check for it inside.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vd3rrB1Pb
When I got to the 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQhhV6x4Za
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcVzunaqrD
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUegl5rEFop
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2SF2zoBUs
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0V87hEcgz
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ5vLoB41X
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnyTTG6tFz
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnW9LQiMAF
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnCGUKOWBW
"Seriously, I can sue 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpNZvCCIMv
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQegcKxKfFO
fast. I never even heard him coming.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UbV1EkcwM
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpBvOT1dUT
"You're not my bodyguard545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWhxHWvwMU
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU6I5RXdOX
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UZpLNKXHl
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V8kzv9lS6
I blushed. "You know about that?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRwcdau7ed
"Everyone knows you have545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2VEL2TCFw
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKpMTheVqB
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrCrM5v7jc
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cbkyZlq7d
"Looks like I did the 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAj8goksQ9
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Np9QdOsqa
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyNL73n4FC
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurkbH4AsWD
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3L8U8fIDH
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGBkoLopOt
"And because you're a 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zXyZOAM4n
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA4fSeVPIl
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmIQNJJdJg
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxnCkzkBby
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf3LViYjot
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO0LkOTPdH
"Can you at least tell 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPm0qFDoEe
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqIGdTDD3A
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zCrGpgGPr
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYBOwSZ19v
"What dramatic effect?" 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb36eqBuoL
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUyl1sBGnp
came closer. I took a warning step back.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDemllLUHR
"If you hadn't followed 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQVKZEH6Cl
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6l8kAgb9x
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsQWA3QUeV
room."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAExzqK0sOi
"What surprise?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjhS6xNzOV
The elevator stopped and545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIVbNw13GQ
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9DnN7dj9b
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrJNhkMlOI
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKUz7if3PR
Seunghoon and I stepped out.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIru9R72rT
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbee7WWn5Tt
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3BICY3Hj1
"I already have a guess," I said.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLmKCwfspP
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkOGnRdcHe
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9SLGmU7K2
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDoqpNcmEf
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCBZcEP198
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx4iVNyhhA
When we reached the 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Vcsr7joP
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnxj82J8Wf
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUud5TqziN
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAWkI3lzlX
In the conference room 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmqig4EwPa
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GvizCS3tw
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3WqIZJBpz
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRug9fvjnjA
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebDYWhqlVz
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGzcYIxPrd
though I did my best not to show it.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HT1APeVbN
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQjn0zLwhl
I looked to the opposite545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtK0dZUpds
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDUYhozsdY
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mV50xOR3y
turned their backs to us facing the wall.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MVSvLSKJo
"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."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC0DtRWywR
G-Dragon quickly turned 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcDaTczQOW
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BZQhHHxt0
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJBqh9owmu
"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?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojn3LlQC0b
"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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcpkeDtbYX
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibgc30Z6sc
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A7HvPBeD8
"Wait," said Lisa who 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGEA3RvCfh
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt2MIm1JkR
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHmrL54Grj
"It felt simple and 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqApneQzFqE
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptN6DeeFYZ
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqGvzKr9cy
with G-Dragon today."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND4PGzk4pD
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsb2ylcAPO
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6zoalhGCL
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFe9tv6dBY
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rAe00EBLX
"Ya, I know I'm a 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBymiL6N7ll
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01CnVgcTw0
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04SBt5yZZd
"If you mean us getting 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU5d9iOTkX
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL885QnpOkX
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAene1iAwnM
by coincidence."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kjMg5x2qC
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUJhVxxwcR
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJumP8HsDd
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnestd8sbnx
The rest of the BTW crew545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo0zvcUTD8
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbE2C9qjRZ
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh1tzhrhuF
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ECBz3OTri
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7tli3F1bk
"Hold up," said Zoey who545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTV9AWR7mL
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2wnSzz0cl
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LUwStvZhp
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwQ0fSTpNL
"Told you we'll 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG8ieEhnWV
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLb46QQW76
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxYQ55UnyJ
"But is he going to do 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNFaqDgGk1
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO22cuxZqeU
didn't really meet by coincidence."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOOG2a9jc6
There was silence in the545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1OdHKI6Fw
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZKU0dNP83
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNq7NRgGTw
planning to do.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1HpG0CGTK
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgwDYKWvpk
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsrPW1WGCb
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyphAGvQYjk
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ027KPKL7Cv
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWzlVyDgXS
"And also because he's 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisHP5dpYuV
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUKnoPdjIh
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwq5FHLLP8
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD90Nc3Iyyb
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81iWQSXzxf
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIA80N8gGO
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9PTpX8Zdv
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JX8a0T0Ka
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD0NCwDRkk
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGbsGrY8Y3
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcjVkXCBDG
G-Dragon smiled. He had 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlHTVMBX6J
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELh41vUI2N
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDKgPrm084
deal with G-Dragon instead.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sjtlOQobI
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFo731nUVJ
"What do you want?" I asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvurZrY7ZzX
G-Dragon looked at me as545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgupbSapoa
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxHcC20yFi
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiC0U5VKGu
came to any conclusions.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM4m76p28i
"To make things clear 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bYkXd7Pt7
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2xN1blvOC
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sst4kUGqg
thinking about doing the same thing."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aQitOlT9y
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmLnWIZCrX
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwqX5Fyvk4
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr4KAz1pt7
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM0JhWsyBu
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcdBxavhQD
"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."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1UY5W2epp
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncUcv6bwA2
"All's fair in love and 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41QXhRbUhj
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoglAYEqfC
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyuedHe0pk
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IwvEkjlGn
"Come on," Christine 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjODYYuFus
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYarDBlJaD
won't be here for long and you know it."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZvvJxHSBS
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHURqXDmmS
"BTW is nothing but a 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKITPc84Vvi
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGnXOVxA9l
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73bGV7y7fI
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAMlFCJE93
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYNLP4PnaG
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF68lVZCR5
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmCMnZ7kLS
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58qE5qYSkX
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGClRRvJHK
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKs5jQDHYo
"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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwM7mUzAAZ
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck8fRHbnV0
Upon saying that, the 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6xKwZmn4x
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t7ZykDnP2
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WZzx4k6KU
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXupOI1rPP8
seated stood up.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8P8yuGF6B
I gulped. I hope the 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tYrZmKAnE
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2qGzJZw44
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xWuVakYBW
The two managers had 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V9AkRPJks
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzEtZvkwWz
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXqOigyoE0
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI48f6UPTY
is wrong.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HuohYcyB6
"Good that you're all 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE36122svwY
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZDaEf2X0S
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjqi1n14XC
I have always hated it 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL8vffaLNx
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q02IaA8Yo
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0CC5CZbfi
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT2gXKLOta
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGBB5Yq7Rb
their seats.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAXytJHhq4
The two managers and Lee545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqHYjPoq54
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QcSN8q6R5
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9oHe7dYnD
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv2VRzAW91
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLQAmGjfNo
was.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokgqTcioa8
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOc901g2tN
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMmAQyQu6A
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamSXLZeeN0
Zoey sighed loudly in 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85VKFfhgIK
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss1C5ECC3x
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBliUsy7q2T
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuHDxxJr7u
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrqdxpfNXl
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvv0ERQWKd
The two managers 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr8Dnb3kZK
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0SMuogoqx
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIKxB1ih43
That was so not cool.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScKr3ePgsq
"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."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMty9Ah8iU
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTecsLi2Os
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVJV34sloy
My ears perked up when 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCfYOqw9zO
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJiOxw6rdu
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMrGo76gPJ
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF3flUOukN
"We heard you outside 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JHjVl5JeS
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFFc7E0gDx
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ccGbZXhUM
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUd57teC6C
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZcrsZoqQc
"Yes, Sam. For real," 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap3wToGMdI
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL02KbWFnfg
through further scrutiny about this decision."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErW8BXMwKr
I smiled. Even if they 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkNCNAgeeY
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jZfNlC5LG
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVEdsVrFBh
There was an exciting 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdQVsIDH8N
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyjDXcTUc6
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPQuvjpA3M
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnvlgRsCbF
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QANYAuJaM
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFTb9mopkq
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LrTJbDPHj
I turned to my other 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRMzDWxK5k
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx2H76wsWI
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYenH2gfwSW
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYazj4uZKUW
now, didn't matter.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6SlwaBzRQ
"You heard them when 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhFqqLpKDg
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu9kMK4JXU
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRmB6FT4hR
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirzJt6E6EF
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bzn5bLbPs
"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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZNTXXPgJZ
This time it was me, or I545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiJ7X9Aa7E
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm6FtDJx7T
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRfYj8WWKn
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWG1fl0rMU
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZysGDUw6k
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCyzULwQZ8
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J766J6yMi
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36n8D29p0l
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEowF5vbMA5
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRd1ffZd6d
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhX4B3PBIU
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLR2aqy4aG
"We all agree," said Daniel.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWyGGE6vkS
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wCYwcv2HZ
"But just because it 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVLvdV97WX
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NNkmlfgVO
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpElwMcBnVv
"Okay, so that's settled545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqxdnzaNlY
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLKBtaq5N0
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY1lomBbix
BTW official."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZuBzkRklG
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pIbRlYNu7
I noticed that most of 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvNwijbXy8
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwwUBUvT8v
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DjC6OWrsQ
when she looked at me and I grinned.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn5G6RvPRh
"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."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVFrmgmkux
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CrkFZu2Fe
"Before we make BTW 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjAKHsiebB
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KZKYZU4LT
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR0L8XNHBT
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0bNFBxWBQ
low for a while. Is that good?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UitifFQzE
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KILC5FgJ3
"That's fair enough," 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT9HThlK2k
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18wfiEx721
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSdRv2DfTq
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rhY59DT6N
so."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bo8Ws7drl
"So you want to crush 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29frjScYEK
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxSNp4bNXl
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBe9dU3vJW
strategy."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lofN4itqk
"Then if all is well and545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI48a3fhP0
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5yn05AJcR
updated and not a word on social media."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW88JDOu8L
I stood up from my seat 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF5j2r4xlM
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlPsGIIFaN
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPElcJ2w64W
walk out, I stopped them.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE2rYmrEi9
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaRXilglN9
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObpcaL0O5m
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq9vtiMNju
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp8dDPJskx
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchf0tlpnpz
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURf8t7FmTf
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeIXjR6n7R
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfZ3BLW2TQ
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hbSpiIlgX
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwF6wAv74W
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1261g5LLk
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz6Exb0Pez
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYYn34eL2O
"This is like the best 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbveiiigxX
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vjw1OsqTA
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaUoaQ1FMs
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDawgYwrkfh
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu41IaKzlTW
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdltHcfpgLr
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibVhqEhwYv
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oAOt1LxIy
"I knew there was a 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbGHqsLYQw
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrGdwr0vUL
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzZKpal4LU
G-Dragon.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ6nwg0NWS
"You knew?" Christine asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZND7MasJIo
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYMvGeT1zz
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIaivz5qlV
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsABFbXD2z
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJGVgOyA1K
"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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjEfbkEAvW
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlhwcpC8w8
"Well, you guys can tell545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU02T3CTmz
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVLv8FcHeQ
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZnZHe0n2V
aren't going to go into the same car."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9NRMEj2ZA
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrOfb6qxxV
Everyone else started to545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJaan04tZT
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXbipPZK8s
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfis6Nnvq73
only G-Dragon and I.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPLo1Tjcu0
"I'm mad at you," I started.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl8GAhxmU7
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR6T7jyPBw
"Save it." I held my 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHiCj27mNB
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tK1tY1Rgp
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPREQay2EWE
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8PNgvGG9h
a war again."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVIJg0h8NN
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo983vyCW1T
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSupJbzKio
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQZR6nwxck
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiDMRGzsBO
G-Dragon looked at me 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKyurm6wm2
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCu0SKTV92
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84ovdepz7O
stab in the heart.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8OxtCqHiO
"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."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2GcJvOZON
"You know, the others 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhhtCEaPMc
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuaNDF0Jt8
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRTZy93g9E
with WINNER yesterday."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj6NwDq94A
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vgJG5Rpiw
I nodded my head. What I545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uHvNsji2z
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYA6AHKIY7
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqtbC0nVFz
of Seunghoon and I.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6LxVt8ZgQ
"You know you and I can 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf1FtZGnwV
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnq1Y113bl
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT2UTkNIEE
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN6VRIgnba
down the rocks."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGKNS0x5tY
I headed for the door 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CMpqPU2ip
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmuomlYM0u
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzriJ4TWA4m
Zoey, waiting.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPtDfsIawP
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFvLIHMh6z
"I sure hope so," I said545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQv32mEzSU
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzlchh0Flj
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDWx9jekhw
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7a8SumSGb
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZuQkhMkum
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp45PCcCcy
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYhpFsPyFm
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wrGxffRJ8
"You know computers are 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ59JVpHpAO
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHCkQdrkku
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2jsjkmY4l
supposed to."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsOOTrlFLq
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvITaEoMkI
I smiled. "You always call me that."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pNLWUbGqj
"Ya, because you're smart too."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEtMYs0H77
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWStU0vgzHZ
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmkXCOGVJG
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGZYmHDbxE
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEPDiZLvdo
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IC6JHSL1X
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
