Lee's P.O.V677Please respect copyright.PENANA91QWQ7eBdv
I was so tired as I sat 677Please respect copyright.PENANAIQk3nfNHAj
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 677Please respect copyright.PENANAZc0R94ll6i
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 677Please respect copyright.PENANAOWJKFrn7Pb
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 677Please respect copyright.PENANA9HJ8tqSUsz
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 677Please respect copyright.PENANAYqpBGzuirc
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.677Please respect copyright.PENANAGxcDUlQKF7
The past two days have 677Please respect copyright.PENANAxRBYIvFk2B
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 677Please respect copyright.PENANAPelsMXhASh
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 677Please respect copyright.PENANAbwWXgfhGno
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being677Please respect copyright.PENANAzDRnLxrbvB
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 677Please respect copyright.PENANAtFefUD08eT
complain.677Please respect copyright.PENANAgEpnFSdPfT
Why should I complain? 677Please respect copyright.PENANAhek77rNs6o
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when677Please respect copyright.PENANAebV4TVDXws
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 677Please respect copyright.PENANA3dgH0uGSBM
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.677Please respect copyright.PENANAGm5pw7XnV4
I really love my job. 677Please respect copyright.PENANAPrmnSGFv1P
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.677Please respect copyright.PENANANXJjIsZH4Q
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 677Please respect copyright.PENANA1WKjGsho4O
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.677Please respect copyright.PENANAPhf1YtKWW2
Collins is strict and 677Please respect copyright.PENANAFkdQkCFBYI
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 677Please respect copyright.PENANASmqeJRPsIb
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 677Please respect copyright.PENANAxRpJjvnotg
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only677Please respect copyright.PENANArZxIEGr8lG
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set677Please respect copyright.PENANApuYvOvLMww
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 677Please respect copyright.PENANAwmwuKp2U3y
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends677Please respect copyright.PENANAw4ZzUpRLkf
over the years.677Please respect copyright.PENANAVadb7fUuVK
And another reason I 677Please respect copyright.PENANAZro40HRkGh
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected677Please respect copyright.PENANAUUSOeu3jea
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 677Please respect copyright.PENANAQqBcrx7Vzk
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 677Please respect copyright.PENANAorKFiihTKF
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 677Please respect copyright.PENANAhx71xExdf8
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 677Please respect copyright.PENANAoqhWO2NgPw
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 677Please respect copyright.PENANADAzajkYAek
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 677Please respect copyright.PENANADqYXnEka5Z
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's677Please respect copyright.PENANAA5UYKbdVLx
how they have managed to make it this far.677Please respect copyright.PENANAIqptIKWBtI
As I remained seated and677Please respect copyright.PENANA2Le1xwd4Ey
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much677Please respect copyright.PENANAerNqynSVLf
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 677Please respect copyright.PENANAqMUrF7jZgq
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 677Please respect copyright.PENANAMSX6z1cgrQ
like that at all.677Please respect copyright.PENANAzOjwpWpC3O
Not that I'm acting like677Please respect copyright.PENANAx4P4vE7JjA
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 677Please respect copyright.PENANAnXl9oOMCna
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 677Please respect copyright.PENANAJttvoRWk4L
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 677Please respect copyright.PENANArjPeSTWORp
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to677Please respect copyright.PENANAipj9pWKgmY
help in any way I can.677Please respect copyright.PENANA3lqgv4QzxA
I looked at the time on 677Please respect copyright.PENANAtS9N8eOjxl
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 677Please respect copyright.PENANA8JJwRsU3oX
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.677Please respect copyright.PENANA79J9pAyj3W
I quickly grabbed my 677Please respect copyright.PENANAGk4KtTQgmj
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 677Please respect copyright.PENANAqOBDScH7Qm
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.677Please respect copyright.PENANAIG9zA15tJ1
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.677Please respect copyright.PENANAwno9X1m5Ig
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."677Please respect copyright.PENANAqaCWLD5baY
"Ya, we're done with practise."677Please respect copyright.PENANACCv9XVBr7T
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.677Please respect copyright.PENANAPc6cbEluoW
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"677Please respect copyright.PENANACQiLD2UqYE
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."677Please respect copyright.PENANAldOkVv6MxG
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"677Please respect copyright.PENANAa9t9nS2dHX
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."677Please respect copyright.PENANAXi3xxEntQS
Whatever ounce of 677Please respect copyright.PENANAaBZEjp3YIU
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 677Please respect copyright.PENANADtKsa5J7bA
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously677Please respect copyright.PENANAbqvui1O7R2
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.677Please respect copyright.PENANA8dE5FnXAlP
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.677Please respect copyright.PENANADhNpUvy2xl
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."677Please respect copyright.PENANAYcyhekDQgx
I sighed as I leaned back on my chair again. "I guess if you're with TOP it's fine. But you should've informed me first."677Please respect copyright.PENANAKktd7yDO09
"Is Collins with you?"677Please respect copyright.PENANAcExQxHbGbR
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."677Please respect copyright.PENANAtxIIaK3Iwe
"Good. I've something else to tell you."677Please respect copyright.PENANAiNcKuJGuoK
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"677Please respect copyright.PENANA2i75J0nU8h
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."677Please respect copyright.PENANAqDOlSbJTjR
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."677Please respect copyright.PENANAVWJbzo0lQQ
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."677Please respect copyright.PENANA9Sh6AXcbx5
"Tell me then," I insisted.677Please respect copyright.PENANAS5MQalwffP
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."677Please respect copyright.PENANAkNuq0qTleu
"Did you and TOP kiss?"677Please respect copyright.PENANA3AUkfUkjvR
"What! No! No way!"677Please respect copyright.PENANA3XbtkGpbkU
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."677Please respect copyright.PENANArk4NnCQKGA
"What makes you think that?"677Please respect copyright.PENANARoJ5bJ4n62
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."677Please respect copyright.PENANAJSZBOLenSG
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."677Please respect copyright.PENANATkETZzesgw
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"677Please respect copyright.PENANABPBI1JMcw7
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.677Please respect copyright.PENANAQaYRap9HZH
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."677Please respect copyright.PENANAEkNpayAvBi
"Try me, Sam. I've been 677Please respect copyright.PENANAwGG82pKT98
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 677Please respect copyright.PENANAsfWVqzSiXA
on that I won't be surprised this time around."677Please respect copyright.PENANAumRodTGAg0
"No, Lee, this time it's different."677Please respect copyright.PENANAZEK48kJ5hd
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."677Please respect copyright.PENANA6ILf3Fv4pu
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."677Please respect copyright.PENANAphd0tfMEJq
Before Sam could say 677Please respect copyright.PENANA9H9vaMgnGT
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 677Please respect copyright.PENANAR0onmO62UR
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 677Please respect copyright.PENANAfupnhSfjWE
quickly realised that it wasn't.677Please respect copyright.PENANAgLNYwUqADx
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.677Please respect copyright.PENANAswClfVQ3yK
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.677Please respect copyright.PENANAVvGD0ifjid
"What the what! Sam! 677Please respect copyright.PENANAcRTC1I1YeC
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 677Please respect copyright.PENANArUiGxS6n3n
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.677Please respect copyright.PENANAE34hP6rl1J
"Wait, hold on, give me a677Please respect copyright.PENANAlITkkyEOKX
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 677Please respect copyright.PENANASfRZFSGiES
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 677Please respect copyright.PENANAVkIK1RkeaN
tell you."677Please respect copyright.PENANAkcr9mDNKEV
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"677Please respect copyright.PENANAOgx1YjkUm7
"Seunghoon from WINNER."677Please respect copyright.PENANAcn6Rp7LXX9
I thought the world 677Please respect copyright.PENANAeHuvrtgIa0
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt677Please respect copyright.PENANAdnfJGQOqLG
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.677Please respect copyright.PENANAa4gV7gsrsO
"Sam, I'm going to faint677Please respect copyright.PENANAcUx06pLXqx
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 677Please respect copyright.PENANAsB8CF2Ccty
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"677Please respect copyright.PENANAJDVh9B4VAa
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."677Please respect copyright.PENANALiTWr3Of7c
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."677Please respect copyright.PENANA629jFanYdA
"I know, but I've a plan."677Please respect copyright.PENANA4bU7KvLwnX
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"677Please respect copyright.PENANAhMdUU9MIuA
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."677Please respect copyright.PENANAfMawRT04by
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"677Please respect copyright.PENANABW7qeMlyd8
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."677Please respect copyright.PENANARBRTYjfhi8
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."677Please respect copyright.PENANAQIEt3zPX5H
"Or you can just join in677Please respect copyright.PENANARcSQTDC8bw
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 677Please respect copyright.PENANA0JlKJnlbn6
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."677Please respect copyright.PENANAvPxbp1ij4i
"Okay, I'll be there. 677Please respect copyright.PENANAHNLl8m3j0o
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 677Please respect copyright.PENANAwATkhBiyAQ
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 677Please respect copyright.PENANAYmKGqGcww7
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"677Please respect copyright.PENANA5enZCJJrL3
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."677Please respect copyright.PENANAe6EJKGAri8
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."677Please respect copyright.PENANAMUGhY1VJdO
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."677Please respect copyright.PENANArdvMWpNcZd
"Alright, I'm on my way."677Please respect copyright.PENANA5YRofnvH9Y
I quickly cut the call 677Please respect copyright.PENANAaw3D6FAjoK
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 677Please respect copyright.PENANASUfExIi5Rd
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 677Please respect copyright.PENANApZIP4AvNg5
the trending list, I was a little confused.677Please respect copyright.PENANAPUNX17VrdA
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.677Please respect copyright.PENANAX4Y9XXeF7L
***677Please respect copyright.PENANAe3C1t8lYsD
Sam's P.O.V677Please respect copyright.PENANAkaaoAUAXEl
I677Please respect copyright.PENANAy8K7yWHx6Z
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 677Please respect copyright.PENANAqajN1DZHDe
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 677Please respect copyright.PENANAAxMonLyd2z
the fans.677Please respect copyright.PENANAufqjvvu3Gn
Since677Please respect copyright.PENANAma4SD3671T
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 677Please respect copyright.PENANAJO3YNlU8AA
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 677Please respect copyright.PENANAP0D2BMF8hD
massive Times Square complex.677Please respect copyright.PENANAGqQTpV7saq
So677Please respect copyright.PENANAQqdaJUxaOV
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 677Please respect copyright.PENANAzqK7x0E99B
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 677Please respect copyright.PENANAHGm0X8t4Ot
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 677Please respect copyright.PENANAGp4Wge9bVC
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 677Please respect copyright.PENANAxe9QiyRdDb
serious.677Please respect copyright.PENANAufSsJHkhjx
"It's677Please respect copyright.PENANAosR5676p5Y
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 677Please respect copyright.PENANADTyMTti0SY
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 677Please respect copyright.PENANAmmvrdQSPEl
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."677Please respect copyright.PENANA1AujHgfW2k
I677Please respect copyright.PENANAyCwZrbo7lm
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 677Please respect copyright.PENANA66QCDKBXHk
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 677Please respect copyright.PENANALncp7LG7yx
somewhat worrying.677Please respect copyright.PENANAWPaqHa6ism
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."677Please respect copyright.PENANAgqGHF0Ju2V
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.677Please respect copyright.PENANAIWGPoRACxp
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."677Please respect copyright.PENANASjXVFnhJtB
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.677Please respect copyright.PENANAwe6umXK645
"You're right. I do."677Please respect copyright.PENANAiXLPHKwHqM
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.677Please respect copyright.PENANABOU1Gj22wg
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."677Please respect copyright.PENANAeaVT88bXmo
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.677Please respect copyright.PENANA9idhViyP6O
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.677Please respect copyright.PENANALz0iVHpxgu
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.677Please respect copyright.PENANAh60obX7d72
"You're677Please respect copyright.PENANAlpG9AxNGSE
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 677Please respect copyright.PENANAoKCr9elml3
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 677Please respect copyright.PENANA7GcQtAATUC
around here."677Please respect copyright.PENANApg8aORYiSG
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.677Please respect copyright.PENANAn7eBRs1onz
"Who said we need to 677Please respect copyright.PENANApGVwi5EJ5G
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 677Please respect copyright.PENANAiq42ieAQPB
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."677Please respect copyright.PENANAZkgHGJeoIs
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."677Please respect copyright.PENANAGcLG9d8eOY
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.677Please respect copyright.PENANATbZvd7JXB6
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.677Please respect copyright.PENANAwdQMjvrr4Q
"Where?" Zoey asked.677Please respect copyright.PENANAB9Oq26UwyJ
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"677Please respect copyright.PENANA6LvQEkIY2n
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.677Please respect copyright.PENANAHKsFDrf1yS
"Wait, a minute!" I 677Please respect copyright.PENANApeLjCGjYlx
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 677Please respect copyright.PENANAFgJmUJhTiY
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."677Please respect copyright.PENANAKtuz7lX48p
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.677Please respect copyright.PENANAgOnOcpzAzM
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"677Please respect copyright.PENANA2gmkdafMl6
"Did someone just say 677Please respect copyright.PENANAa0qiQuegnp
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 677Please respect copyright.PENANA4hMka6DmkT
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"677Please respect copyright.PENANAE3P5fIRnPW
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.677Please respect copyright.PENANAD9zdJ1dydM
"You're doing that thing677Please respect copyright.PENANA6qoTJ0Y12w
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 677Please respect copyright.PENANAyIVlw6LWkt
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."677Please respect copyright.PENANAtNkbkcnep0
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."677Please respect copyright.PENANA7EbQ9BrKGm
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."677Please respect copyright.PENANAhF2yDUu3Ws
"Ya, true," said Mike.677Please respect copyright.PENANA9wYjUIUtOm
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"677Please respect copyright.PENANAFFNVAGR6cb
"I'm not going to 677Please respect copyright.PENANAe3SeIRK4Hu
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and677Please respect copyright.PENANAt5m7OnfwCs
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."677Please respect copyright.PENANAhlPjFPt6JZ
"No, I'm scared that 677Please respect copyright.PENANADxbdzHDLND
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 677Please respect copyright.PENANAeZQ8TSpu55
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.677Please respect copyright.PENANASCsKChYr3f
I looked at Zoey, then 677Please respect copyright.PENANAHiI5ExdkpH
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 677Please respect copyright.PENANAYDn4XNWxGP
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 677Please respect copyright.PENANAApW05h27tf
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready677Please respect copyright.PENANA73pi44Lc6B
for that bumpy ride again.677Please respect copyright.PENANAMOEMk3lZ2M
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.677Please respect copyright.PENANA35gIo7zyAp
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.677Please respect copyright.PENANABsf6uKgShz
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.677Please respect copyright.PENANAQtFlY4I9BF
Daniel's mouth gaped 677Please respect copyright.PENANAUKC0JciIQ0
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 677Please respect copyright.PENANA5WrhQAmIwH
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"677Please respect copyright.PENANAJUyRmtuNTF
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."677Please respect copyright.PENANAskYIveV1F9
"Well, I think we can 677Please respect copyright.PENANAUHYYZmW5GM
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so677Please respect copyright.PENANA3YOnbF3m5R
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."677Please respect copyright.PENANATClT2jg1w9
"Same here," said Mino.677Please respect copyright.PENANArg4paMKlwL
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"677Please respect copyright.PENANAHbS6tNgxiv
Everyone including me 677Please respect copyright.PENANANK49TO4JGC
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 677Please respect copyright.PENANAvYR6oGOJNy
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 677Please respect copyright.PENANABRqU5Ny1ui
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in677Please respect copyright.PENANAHFJIKIDAyu
Times Square.677Please respect copyright.PENANAokizNTv2LE
"There's an open food 677Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ0ynnpObc
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 677Please respect copyright.PENANAX3ykNyo0rR
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.677Please respect copyright.PENANAIRbiBm99xo
"Gosh, I've now realised677Please respect copyright.PENANA47i41PHWvA
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 677Please respect copyright.PENANADkC9sN8i7f
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.677Please respect copyright.PENANAm8L1C9J1Pc
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.677Please respect copyright.PENANAsitHaEQyPK
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."677Please respect copyright.PENANABT9iQ8jMC8
"No wonder you Toxins 677Please respect copyright.PENANAE0RvqU8Eif
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 677Please respect copyright.PENANA4r0IxOIoGw
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."677Please respect copyright.PENANAgE5ZL1qGgh
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.677Please respect copyright.PENANABfKVNWnIFH
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."677Please respect copyright.PENANAc49tWXjKJ3
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."677Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6JTVOG0AP
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.677Please respect copyright.PENANA3jVKVAqiBj
Zoey, Christine and the 677Please respect copyright.PENANAHgSvbdNy4J
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 677Please respect copyright.PENANAVgiRqT3gKd
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 677Please respect copyright.PENANAfE7F6MZuIe
going.677Please respect copyright.PENANAsyqI1bU8iJ
"That's insulting," said Jennie.677Please respect copyright.PENANA9RT3lpQ6PT
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.677Please respect copyright.PENANA7TtMKkdi87
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."677Please respect copyright.PENANAfk83ZVov9U
I burst out laughing 677Please respect copyright.PENANAOKjSKRGn6X
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 677Please respect copyright.PENANAEXMGIw193S
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 677Please respect copyright.PENANAxLQjoYKMUo
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 677Please respect copyright.PENANAMTdp2fDlke
other floors because that would surly be something.677Please respect copyright.PENANAdlbJsbHXSR
"Good one, TOP," said 677Please respect copyright.PENANAYCGmXkeick
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 677Please respect copyright.PENANA4vH9raT7Lp
have thought of that in a million years."677Please respect copyright.PENANAoi6CTdo4F4
Everyone continued to 677Please respect copyright.PENANAauE2vpoLDx
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 677Please respect copyright.PENANAy7ZI0BZidq
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 677Please respect copyright.PENANAmg2TZGZCmk
how annoyed she was.677Please respect copyright.PENANAY54sFA7fhk
"I can't believe you 677Please respect copyright.PENANAttbl1k7VLO
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 677Please respect copyright.PENANAaj7hJIVxyu
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."677Please respect copyright.PENANAQBWo27jFXi
"Don't worry, Zoey," 677Please respect copyright.PENANArvOVoIjgdL
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a677Please respect copyright.PENANAMLQTWtNQyE
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."677Please respect copyright.PENANAlSuLanfqYV
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."677Please respect copyright.PENANAk4Zu1sQcfX
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."677Please respect copyright.PENANAiepjNc98qs
"I'll sting him so bad, 677Please respect copyright.PENANAQ54eBzjW9b
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at677Please respect copyright.PENANAQQdjFF7ipD
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.677Please respect copyright.PENANAFf8uHwiqdl
"Oh, look, a stage," 677Please respect copyright.PENANAzvT5kMtRV9
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from677Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z1YgXwNVP
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.677Please respect copyright.PENANAQoW56y6jv9
In the direction Daniel 677Please respect copyright.PENANAWsadH4trZb
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 677Please respect copyright.PENANA7VLMOGqzsN
there and get up on it. We all followed him.677Please respect copyright.PENANAiLiCQvcyM3
"I've missed being on 677Please respect copyright.PENANABZTiK7b9eZ
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 677Please respect copyright.PENANAhlL9NGCalX
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.677Please respect copyright.PENANAOHy6RnPwD3
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.677Please respect copyright.PENANAulhkAIhtGA
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.677Please respect copyright.PENANAqhlxPdMkjT
"We're just having fun,"677Please respect copyright.PENANAOpi4mJzlmJ
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.677Please respect copyright.PENANANyEm8Y9AaS
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 677Please respect copyright.PENANAObHUH09uxi
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 677Please respect copyright.PENANAaiBBmgrSPX
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 677Please respect copyright.PENANAqAidaFEHDe
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.677Please respect copyright.PENANA6JaVq9iBZK
The rest of us down the 677Please respect copyright.PENANAnYV3Z3dVZp
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 677Please respect copyright.PENANAykrFdLTGR9
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 677Please respect copyright.PENANA8JXqOksS2p
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 677Please respect copyright.PENANA8zb93f87Lu
side of him was a shocker.677Please respect copyright.PENANAfnvICp9upD
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."677Please respect copyright.PENANAVuYZ2Ouoox
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.677Please respect copyright.PENANAKRpNVUdmc9
"Mum would be so proud,"677Please respect copyright.PENANAi4wfMFYdfr
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 677Please respect copyright.PENANAuHsjJQeXUL
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."677Please respect copyright.PENANAwjs0VavttT
"Haha, very funny," said677Please respect copyright.PENANA1uWaBlQVEh
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 677Please respect copyright.PENANA9ANfyMddWD
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"677Please respect copyright.PENANAIGpmNH8tmn
I looked at Mike and he 677Please respect copyright.PENANAIQwh9G7CVV
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 677Please respect copyright.PENANAMbEHoXM1qn
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 677Please respect copyright.PENANAkaePDC81Op
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."677Please respect copyright.PENANAdxqAXRa4vW
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."677Please respect copyright.PENANAqFkEFCIkcr
"I'm still not going to 677Please respect copyright.PENANA3sJ1xniP6k
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 677Please respect copyright.PENANAHiwnc29TNu
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."677Please respect copyright.PENANAbOYCERS3o2
"I'll join you then," said Mino as he walked up on stage and then turned around to look at Zoey offering his hand to led her up.677Please respect copyright.PENANAHdv5ygZIeH
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.677Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0Q2KXmJDL
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.677Please respect copyright.PENANA1msSCtAiOm
"No," she said still not677Please respect copyright.PENANAQED1D5WPc0
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 677Please respect copyright.PENANAYSSviBEmNl
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."677Please respect copyright.PENANAmNAdysk6GF
Everyone turned to look 677Please respect copyright.PENANAkmMAqJOque
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 677Please respect copyright.PENANAyVZ9jiY1St
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 677Please respect copyright.PENANAOQg2CIH9f2
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 677Please respect copyright.PENANAywEyKJQy3t
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger677Please respect copyright.PENANApHwXfUo2JD
was to sweet talk her somehow.677Please respect copyright.PENANAr4vw3OimoX
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."677Please respect copyright.PENANAA4sKddyOxY
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.677Please respect copyright.PENANALNhtRR2RpO
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.677Please respect copyright.PENANAKrJiVg9vNQ
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"677Please respect copyright.PENANAoJq6QmjSOQ
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.677Please respect copyright.PENANA3ylGhHu1la
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."677Please respect copyright.PENANAJpbEpUAV4r
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.677Please respect copyright.PENANAhzQdkz3an2
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.677Please respect copyright.PENANAddsWG5hP3B
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.677Please respect copyright.PENANANKonyOThb5
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.677Please respect copyright.PENANAlnSPIJoLrl
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.677Please respect copyright.PENANADwAKYesHHw
I snapped my fingers 677Please respect copyright.PENANAsudVZjoqTn
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 677Please respect copyright.PENANAOgwhFmMwNS
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.677Please respect copyright.PENANAtGRWJbgJoP
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 677Please respect copyright.PENANAj7n9uIk9L8
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.677Please respect copyright.PENANAk6VWcTvzUY
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 677Please respect copyright.PENANA1YS6Hogpyr
Lisa: You're sweet like 677Please respect copyright.PENANAgBFWED8zMA
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]677Please respect copyright.PENANAvjdFHb9TsT
Jennie: You're sweet like 677Please respect copyright.PENANAKiPGrEG0AW
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 677Please respect copyright.PENANADqD7NiRNUB
We all ended up giving a677Please respect copyright.PENANAk5mMgT40t3
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 677Please respect copyright.PENANA4wXnoEWEGq
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 677Please respect copyright.PENANANInLPPDbBd
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 677Please respect copyright.PENANAY0cJAOaOsI
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 677Please respect copyright.PENANAhOzkNf0TbG
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.677Please respect copyright.PENANAkaVhmisNPl
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.677Please respect copyright.PENANAL2oMKcjUjh
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.677Please respect copyright.PENANAZq9Pj5uow7
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.677Please respect copyright.PENANA7Nbm9zA0O9
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.677Please respect copyright.PENANA0tL01dCJDf
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.677Please respect copyright.PENANAKesYHkklu8
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.677Please respect copyright.PENANArXUzNxogY3
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.677Please respect copyright.PENANAXEJPrFrZfB
Im a fan all day.677Please respect copyright.PENANAwm6Yp6pOll
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.677Please respect copyright.PENANA3hONg1EzHu
My manage behavior; Im into your major.677Please respect copyright.PENANAwFHkacDYVG
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.677Please respect copyright.PENANA6aeYwEooHW
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:677Please respect copyright.PENANAF0uaSBqHBL
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.677Please respect copyright.PENANAyAOaOvG3xb
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.677Please respect copyright.PENANAoFxOn2PPW5
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.677Please respect copyright.PENANAzjFta0RZve
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 677Please respect copyright.PENANAHuUywnmuYw
The three couples on 677Please respect copyright.PENANANwgpXYVFBT
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And677Please respect copyright.PENANAIguFQTorKc
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 677Please respect copyright.PENANAYhAlS7znpS
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 677Please respect copyright.PENANAZNmCPnP7Hi
three couples surrounding me in a circle.677Please respect copyright.PENANAUTsh7PE91u
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]677Please respect copyright.PENANA4yDbE8Et2b
This candy got you sprung [x2]677Please respect copyright.PENANAxStgcFbAsH
So call me your sugar [x2]677Please respect copyright.PENANAU8lqqAtQ9v
You love you some [x2]677Please respect copyright.PENANAaVZvDx6UCM
I'm sweet like 677Please respect copyright.PENANA6PKo1uJOXG
All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 677Please respect copyright.PENANAxD0brui2nV
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]677Please respect copyright.PENANAlxSdj5kuR0
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di677Please respect copyright.PENANAf4poXclH2K
Sugar677Please respect copyright.PENANAXN7hguFnz1
Seunghoon came up on 677Please respect copyright.PENANArjcxUdBrD7
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 677Please respect copyright.PENANAqtRQwKhQmO
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.677Please respect copyright.PENANAgm6d11AgB3
Down stage, Seungyoon 677Please respect copyright.PENANAOPsz47hE1U
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a677Please respect copyright.PENANA8TEbsQAqXW
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 677Please respect copyright.PENANAWBOyAnf84P
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 677Please respect copyright.PENANAFmNFwG99rs
all did that simultaneously was awesome.677Please respect copyright.PENANA8kvReu1kmU
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.677Please respect copyright.PENANA1Qau4Ig8C7
All: My lips like sugar (x2)677Please respect copyright.PENANAzYQp5oBjde
This candy got you sprung (x2)677Please respect copyright.PENANAmHd6MFDuz2
So call me your sugar (x2)677Please respect copyright.PENANAG045ztuuX6
You love you some (x2)677Please respect copyright.PENANAjkCX4rrc6X
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x3)677Please respect copyright.PENANATb1OtTWeO2
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 677Please respect copyright.PENANAAgbIqAqSve
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di677Please respect copyright.PENANAPDUhXTzp0Q
Sugar 677Please respect copyright.PENANAVvgMS2ex7e
I677Please respect copyright.PENANAalWFSZauiF
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 677Please respect copyright.PENANAP2A5yiKvIB
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 677Please respect copyright.PENANAcgo2nWSg3r
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 677Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4z4AAc0pZ
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 677Please respect copyright.PENANAayLFo4dAR6
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.677Please respect copyright.PENANATEUxbBK1As
Onlookers677Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ft3KTxgEP
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 677Please respect copyright.PENANAE1ga1tnNcE
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 677Please respect copyright.PENANAd35i5rLaEL
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.677Please respect copyright.PENANAy0uOqsKO7y
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.677Please respect copyright.PENANA1A1GAs8W56
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.677Please respect copyright.PENANAOPTSJCRPRe
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.677Please respect copyright.PENANAvaQgJoJ8o2
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.677Please respect copyright.PENANAjzVeevpak1
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.677Please respect copyright.PENANArXgz2A2GBd
"Ya, we really should," I answered.677Please respect copyright.PENANAAp7LVfvkQ1
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.677Please respect copyright.PENANAdiukIzkc3v
"Take a bow," I said.677Please respect copyright.PENANADlL8ZM5fGF
Zoey who stood next to 677Please respect copyright.PENANAQlbSBaoiZw
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 677Please respect copyright.PENANAsvMm13tlLv
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took677Please respect copyright.PENANADBexgLbuyW
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down677Please respect copyright.PENANArINpcmQ9eB
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 677Please respect copyright.PENANAjfomBl3OBz
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.677Please respect copyright.PENANAWSc3fZWH4T
"Well, this just got 677Please respect copyright.PENANAP1Tnu5xQr4
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 677Please respect copyright.PENANAGhle1qsDq7
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.677Please respect copyright.PENANAsUt4lUVY4W
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."677Please respect copyright.PENANASr9rCaihYP
The way Mike said it 677Please respect copyright.PENANAFOzG7lPQO2
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 677Please respect copyright.PENANALWbs35VGFg
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 677Please respect copyright.PENANAL8rCemQY6V
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.677Please respect copyright.PENANAilHfvNONIh
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.677Please respect copyright.PENANAgCP3XDoUqY
When I got down from the677Please respect copyright.PENANAXRYnrRnObS
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 677Please respect copyright.PENANAmWpbUhCW4q
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in677Please respect copyright.PENANADfE3ZxsIw9
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I677Please respect copyright.PENANASbbYjemGHl
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.677Please respect copyright.PENANAaeV9vMvdoH
"Well, you guys sure 677Please respect copyright.PENANAhiQwGE8AJU
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 677Please respect copyright.PENANARQjJUlavKp
had to warn the security before I could even get here."677Please respect copyright.PENANAdHOXvsljKy
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.677Please respect copyright.PENANADQ6xrSR3Bd
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't677Please respect copyright.PENANA52xS9HXKxX
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 677Please respect copyright.PENANAutlO6jJer9
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"677Please respect copyright.PENANA0do5W7gRHd
"We just missed you, 677Please respect copyright.PENANAOPadisUVff
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually677Please respect copyright.PENANAJLRAOIZnRM
with us but these past days you haven't."677Please respect copyright.PENANALn8Ae5yjWb
"You're right and I miss all of you too. Been caught up with work. And now, you have all given me a much bigger mess to clean."677Please respect copyright.PENANA1lc1DBZoEq
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.677Please respect copyright.PENANA6UpCjrHtJr
"He would've called by 677Please respect copyright.PENANAaDiACMHU8v
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 677Please respect copyright.PENANAFJJEadECSq
no calls from the grim reapers yet."677Please respect copyright.PENANAHHTGpsSAzn
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.677Please respect copyright.PENANAEzNfzc8go4
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"677Please respect copyright.PENANAToRKAW244O
Immediately Lee focused 677Please respect copyright.PENANAQqHeXdYn5p
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone677Please respect copyright.PENANAsRBfr92eM3
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 677Please respect copyright.PENANAv5D1Wlyr2b
couldn't blame them.677Please respect copyright.PENANA6C1or0PuPc
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.677Please respect copyright.PENANAaYjMYXKS5U
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.677Please respect copyright.PENANAIeQmKGbiR9
"How677Please respect copyright.PENANAueBSICQ83P
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked677Please respect copyright.PENANAC9Hr4X08xP
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into677Please respect copyright.PENANAXPoFxqrGcN
your own dance hall."677Please respect copyright.PENANASU4eth0YNR
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."677Please respect copyright.PENANAa815w8Y8wj
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"677Please respect copyright.PENANAaohKVrVpuw
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.677Please respect copyright.PENANAj5X0LjrmaP
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....677Please respect copyright.PENANAISBNZvS8GL
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.677Please respect copyright.PENANA8J6h3AdRB4
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.677Please respect copyright.PENANAKTzIDYgjeX
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.677Please respect copyright.PENANA5Mdx40G8nm
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."677Please respect copyright.PENANAkNQniCGss2
"No,677Please respect copyright.PENANAokr5vMIuDx
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 677Please respect copyright.PENANA0T3R3Ft8fa
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell677Please respect copyright.PENANA6lzGPQ0VFN
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"677Please respect copyright.PENANANrSL9gPfP3
"That would have been nice," said Mike with a stupid grin on his face. I threw him a look and the smile fell right away.677Please respect copyright.PENANA2dL4jurFzA
"No, we met them today," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Seunghoon and looked at him. "You hid in the girl's closet?"677Please respect copyright.PENANAcEur0uz1f5
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.677Please respect copyright.PENANAavDRO9otoS
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.677Please respect copyright.PENANAqlzERqP9bd
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.677Please respect copyright.PENANALcQf4dZZNL
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.677Please respect copyright.PENANAvliYBTRxOY
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.677Please respect copyright.PENANAfYFMlC763b
I677Please respect copyright.PENANAEicuK55ud5
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 677Please respect copyright.PENANALnNmcJJwJu
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 677Please respect copyright.PENANA1gwQqsYc8U
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it677Please respect copyright.PENANAyJcDjN4FFC
was a lot to take in.677Please respect copyright.PENANAZYDVPVSvV9
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."677Please respect copyright.PENANAz4YF4oW4VQ
"That's677Please respect copyright.PENANAiJieExLvkz
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 677Please respect copyright.PENANAUu9EKexLtc
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 677Please respect copyright.PENANAx6aHEetuzT
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 677Please respect copyright.PENANAy0npiqQiIo
still find out anyway."677Please respect copyright.PENANAiF8dC00mNL
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."677Please respect copyright.PENANApdC5wh8QbA
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.677Please respect copyright.PENANAGvxdgHKeHU
Everyone677Please respect copyright.PENANAGf3xnDysKf
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 677Please respect copyright.PENANADnEkMjqgkn
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 677Please respect copyright.PENANAF4H8fAI7xp
somehow the anxiety was killing me.677Please respect copyright.PENANAuTDdF2QPTd
After677Please respect copyright.PENANAhoo8k2vMUo
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan677Please respect copyright.PENANAqybT6sdi1O
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the677Please respect copyright.PENANATWcrvZ5hdn
food court when Lee asked:677Please respect copyright.PENANAIIIIw6Cbgl
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"677Please respect copyright.PENANAj32NXYFXMn
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.677Please respect copyright.PENANATY0MOs3cPY
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.677Please respect copyright.PENANAY5nNILCCJz
"You677Please respect copyright.PENANAYa5l0VpFEV
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 677Please respect copyright.PENANAPW7S9Slabj
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 677Please respect copyright.PENANAAhXgU2NuVl
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."677Please respect copyright.PENANASjvUJ6NOWG
"I677Please respect copyright.PENANA76yp7uPxXr
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 677Please respect copyright.PENANAageRsvBrgv
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 677Please respect copyright.PENANAjqSQyqkrHK
okay."677Please respect copyright.PENANAtph6FnIomS
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.677Please respect copyright.PENANAPvJqoN2hFl
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."677Please respect copyright.PENANAPKUDfBF4Rf
"You677Please respect copyright.PENANA7FvJ89tlDb
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 677Please respect copyright.PENANA8Hx9JACmEk
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 677Please respect copyright.PENANAv6mgbEe3SJ
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 677Please respect copyright.PENANAMXaBAXi42q
don't know up to now."677Please respect copyright.PENANAMwfGw17MuQ
"BTW677Please respect copyright.PENANAiNbGJnkdAg
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I677Please respect copyright.PENANA3CIOPvm5Ck
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 677Please respect copyright.PENANANRGfAzK25N
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 677Please respect copyright.PENANAnX1pJ4SQw1
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."677Please respect copyright.PENANAkOGQbxH42Q
"I677Please respect copyright.PENANAw1lnFm9dDR
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 677Please respect copyright.PENANAfscdJ89bdE
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 677Please respect copyright.PENANAUKlxaF1ZNm
normal human perspective."677Please respect copyright.PENANAIftsZ08OMu
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."677Please respect copyright.PENANADSThpEfe3e
"I think she is," said TOP.677Please respect copyright.PENANAwKuEPYiOqb
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.677Please respect copyright.PENANAojLBOg3d27
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.677Please respect copyright.PENANAfmtiL0RDWP
Zoey677Please respect copyright.PENANAZAN0axmAiI
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 677Please respect copyright.PENANAaSBg2vuIT7
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.677Please respect copyright.PENANACgWIzdjpvC
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"677Please respect copyright.PENANAqblrKAjujT
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.677Please respect copyright.PENANAYqhrvBosGj
Before677Please respect copyright.PENANAWE10RqCVEu
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she677Please respect copyright.PENANAV8FQdkuzZM
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 677Please respect copyright.PENANAIQHeXAVpe7
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.677Please respect copyright.PENANAleo0Y3LpIq
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.677Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vmcd4Iw56
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.677Please respect copyright.PENANA82XFsAg9Jh
The677Please respect copyright.PENANA0EPnCUvNG3
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 677Please respect copyright.PENANALKG5JTpJSO
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 677Please respect copyright.PENANAHUz6dbEQey
would never stop fighting no matter what.677Please respect copyright.PENANAwy5nwwDiKg
"I677Please respect copyright.PENANARyR14Yaxcw
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a677Please respect copyright.PENANABVKUmVeKe8
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 677Please respect copyright.PENANAgPZ2REm7vF
it's full of drama too."677Please respect copyright.PENANAuxLV5zVFAJ
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.677Please respect copyright.PENANAIRDb5TzlnK
"Do677Please respect copyright.PENANA8XMZ4OHQNm
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 677Please respect copyright.PENANAPNWVSFkRJW
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 677Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4n9XnndCX
court.677Please respect copyright.PENANAoOIAUKexw6
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."677Please respect copyright.PENANAVscLAHOEGv
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."677Please respect copyright.PENANANYyJPcgUDs
"I hope so too," said Christine.677Please respect copyright.PENANA1z4P5LqDyr
"Come677Please respect copyright.PENANA19qLHvOHGZ
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 677Please respect copyright.PENANAZTZMcWPqFi
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."677Please respect copyright.PENANAtGbUuBZzRn
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.677Please respect copyright.PENANAR3xLufHtMa
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.677Please respect copyright.PENANAzt1O865OVg
As677Please respect copyright.PENANAgYDvFEBVv9
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning677Please respect copyright.PENANA0wQlqABQG0
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 677Please respect copyright.PENANAJzAOmoZGhT
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 677Please respect copyright.PENANAvkeSZnqOrE
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 677Please respect copyright.PENANAISQf5B5wsQ
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.677Please respect copyright.PENANAA8i2uiUaJU
I677Please respect copyright.PENANAzjyeBoiRfp
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 677Please respect copyright.PENANAiiDo0sz7ko
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might677Please respect copyright.PENANAVjYSV0XSRZ
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 677Please respect copyright.PENANA34nzzSxmfz
of the blue may arise.677Please respect copyright.PENANA6dLxGPjFuC
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
