Lee's P.O.V945Please respect copyright.PENANAu4BrJk3mnO
I was so tired as I sat 945Please respect copyright.PENANA9g6IvhkddZ
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 945Please respect copyright.PENANA7AJy04FSq2
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 945Please respect copyright.PENANA0uH6HgXxlp
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 945Please respect copyright.PENANA20BWc4IxUe
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 945Please respect copyright.PENANAtLs0R0FTcW
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.945Please respect copyright.PENANAVTfq2e8fgQ
The past two days have 945Please respect copyright.PENANA6CX0wjrTmi
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 945Please respect copyright.PENANAkHnpzaxuC8
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 945Please respect copyright.PENANAgGkwLNNu9H
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being945Please respect copyright.PENANA4JL0JEV1dt
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 945Please respect copyright.PENANA9PPCrVYIRG
complain.945Please respect copyright.PENANAFXu5Yk5mo8
Why should I complain? 945Please respect copyright.PENANA8OOkGVl5hO
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when945Please respect copyright.PENANA0poJRBLhOo
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 945Please respect copyright.PENANAJIhvUi0V9k
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.945Please respect copyright.PENANAhIzVvi6FlK
I really love my job. 945Please respect copyright.PENANAGaDMwM5d3f
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.945Please respect copyright.PENANAa05Je427hp
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 945Please respect copyright.PENANAWv7FWqdeIo
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.945Please respect copyright.PENANAchdI3WrzMW
Collins is strict and 945Please respect copyright.PENANAmf6QVfBifC
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 945Please respect copyright.PENANAXC5saIjsk4
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 945Please respect copyright.PENANAVeib3CvJL4
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only945Please respect copyright.PENANAHnit53kD3X
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set945Please respect copyright.PENANAADvVRU5Jx7
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 945Please respect copyright.PENANAomfKbARNhl
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends945Please respect copyright.PENANAJQbhzpmKck
over the years.945Please respect copyright.PENANAoVB3Y5lQvb
And another reason I 945Please respect copyright.PENANA9GYB0wWrSP
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected945Please respect copyright.PENANAU0DBibcgHM
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 945Please respect copyright.PENANAcZiqx0u16C
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 945Please respect copyright.PENANAdbvkJ0MItA
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 945Please respect copyright.PENANApTIsWmLapa
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 945Please respect copyright.PENANAmvIvPHKRns
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 945Please respect copyright.PENANAOCeRKgcyZ5
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 945Please respect copyright.PENANAoLE8lizB7H
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's945Please respect copyright.PENANAwOPolhR9rI
how they have managed to make it this far.945Please respect copyright.PENANAloFBIJHqKC
As I remained seated and945Please respect copyright.PENANA16LGITkXcL
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much945Please respect copyright.PENANAqdMQkFGP63
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 945Please respect copyright.PENANAGcpzwWfrYr
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 945Please respect copyright.PENANAkxhLFt8eb3
like that at all.945Please respect copyright.PENANA3oXRAqaBey
Not that I'm acting like945Please respect copyright.PENANA3qeWsl9mxK
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 945Please respect copyright.PENANAr0sy42JZwB
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 945Please respect copyright.PENANAjdJpt7k7Am
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 945Please respect copyright.PENANANQ8j3Bbwnu
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to945Please respect copyright.PENANAOmIowQbFSm
help in any way I can.945Please respect copyright.PENANAGJGCXI5yRz
I looked at the time on 945Please respect copyright.PENANAGvpTOWbU02
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 945Please respect copyright.PENANAzmlfVnW2K6
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.945Please respect copyright.PENANAUFSM7zz2qe
I quickly grabbed my 945Please respect copyright.PENANAio5PClGGtn
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 945Please respect copyright.PENANASMwPexhhYe
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.945Please respect copyright.PENANA2gOjLWs5em
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.945Please respect copyright.PENANABBU9SNM82L
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."945Please respect copyright.PENANAvVcCcmBUfQ
"Ya, we're done with practise."945Please respect copyright.PENANA5cYm87WRQt
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.945Please respect copyright.PENANAG3sXZJ044y
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"945Please respect copyright.PENANARbL7pYibS5
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."945Please respect copyright.PENANAonajvx2n9v
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"945Please respect copyright.PENANAzlcagj1Rfm
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."945Please respect copyright.PENANASQe29dIn7V
Whatever ounce of 945Please respect copyright.PENANAuaBNR2IRhx
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 945Please respect copyright.PENANAr5upInJEje
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously945Please respect copyright.PENANANVOXyj36tJ
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.945Please respect copyright.PENANA9hLOC4f4ST
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.945Please respect copyright.PENANAEWncmQOENd
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."945Please respect copyright.PENANADMJamQcVlc
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."945Please respect copyright.PENANATVornt0TQk
"Is Collins with you?"945Please respect copyright.PENANAa2e4cFEqC3
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."945Please respect copyright.PENANAZbWUGPEyCk
"Good. I've something else to tell you."945Please respect copyright.PENANAMoAEyhaImU
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"945Please respect copyright.PENANAODtXpyaEH6
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."945Please respect copyright.PENANAnrycPKVcCC
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."945Please respect copyright.PENANAv44N452epp
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."945Please respect copyright.PENANAsyggxceZ7o
"Tell me then," I insisted.945Please respect copyright.PENANARucrsy0jsI
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."945Please respect copyright.PENANA0LO8XF3ht4
"Did you and TOP kiss?"945Please respect copyright.PENANAfV2bYTuNbL
"What! No! No way!"945Please respect copyright.PENANApBpUNzhPhX
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."945Please respect copyright.PENANAzqBPCr6sFS
"What makes you think that?"945Please respect copyright.PENANA90I1olwY2m
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."945Please respect copyright.PENANAYjxcuZbJTm
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."945Please respect copyright.PENANAjb0VD1lgUu
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"945Please respect copyright.PENANACBlqeu0wy2
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.945Please respect copyright.PENANASJFQCIDAzy
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."945Please respect copyright.PENANAOPUXoqdKVK
"Try me, Sam. I've been 945Please respect copyright.PENANAxve7QyDkmy
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 945Please respect copyright.PENANA0LCn7eTLEK
on that I won't be surprised this time around."945Please respect copyright.PENANAyM13reBiHD
"No, Lee, this time it's different."945Please respect copyright.PENANAnf2mgauFYX
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."945Please respect copyright.PENANAluUdMVm5Hm
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."945Please respect copyright.PENANAfhSTRBQZOf
Before Sam could say 945Please respect copyright.PENANARSyLnkVtwJ
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 945Please respect copyright.PENANAfUikHcG8IM
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 945Please respect copyright.PENANAfztnV4f4iC
quickly realised that it wasn't.945Please respect copyright.PENANAYCiAiVhcja
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.945Please respect copyright.PENANAPKq2pytzTc
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.945Please respect copyright.PENANAaGa3EFULwF
"What the what! Sam! 945Please respect copyright.PENANAV4RlYduPTz
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 945Please respect copyright.PENANAIjWD80AuJP
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.945Please respect copyright.PENANAtSg7RgeCBG
"Wait, hold on, give me a945Please respect copyright.PENANAO2P1n68EXo
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 945Please respect copyright.PENANAJeVmEmvnTk
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 945Please respect copyright.PENANAnbwablA0pX
tell you."945Please respect copyright.PENANAiWMxpv7vzv
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"945Please respect copyright.PENANArHPXEvYXK6
"Seunghoon from WINNER."945Please respect copyright.PENANAkLaP8t8mdj
I thought the world 945Please respect copyright.PENANApCIzlaAzRZ
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt945Please respect copyright.PENANAylGASpA8s5
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.945Please respect copyright.PENANAzjHo7pMF6u
"Sam, I'm going to faint945Please respect copyright.PENANAGSGXEWx3Et
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 945Please respect copyright.PENANAIvDaI5u8pL
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"945Please respect copyright.PENANArzw7P69mSz
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."945Please respect copyright.PENANAy43tYXA60g
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."945Please respect copyright.PENANA7sFdaAyhr7
"I know, but I've a plan."945Please respect copyright.PENANAq9lVQneKqv
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"945Please respect copyright.PENANA5d9GeV1gyd
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."945Please respect copyright.PENANAPW7XANm7Cr
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"945Please respect copyright.PENANAXinJSmTAK8
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."945Please respect copyright.PENANAPCx9WFRSMX
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."945Please respect copyright.PENANAFippIArYi3
"Or you can just join in945Please respect copyright.PENANAU2QAFew2Iu
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 945Please respect copyright.PENANALBoDAU6EUi
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."945Please respect copyright.PENANACNHERE1jPB
"Okay, I'll be there. 945Please respect copyright.PENANAgybhgrRP8m
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 945Please respect copyright.PENANAFtdzt2MwCO
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 945Please respect copyright.PENANApQAtGjnJfO
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"945Please respect copyright.PENANAIkx29QeW9o
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."945Please respect copyright.PENANAiDLcZGYiDy
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."945Please respect copyright.PENANAUHZuR6wTbo
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."945Please respect copyright.PENANAjvCEiR4Vc5
"Alright, I'm on my way."945Please respect copyright.PENANA4f8ytuSLYV
I quickly cut the call 945Please respect copyright.PENANAVTZq0U84Hq
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 945Please respect copyright.PENANAkRus3fuoAo
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 945Please respect copyright.PENANA4AEfOTVPGk
the trending list, I was a little confused.945Please respect copyright.PENANAkqfTxSf8Ri
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.945Please respect copyright.PENANAyus8SNAOOM
***945Please respect copyright.PENANAJudtEO8RRh
Sam's P.O.V945Please respect copyright.PENANA4LcXnIwvfn
I945Please respect copyright.PENANALE2EjF4oHh
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 945Please respect copyright.PENANAaapcD6vfwP
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 945Please respect copyright.PENANAp36zGM22E0
the fans.945Please respect copyright.PENANAJKMQlVtwvz
Since945Please respect copyright.PENANAhCT9ZfPOqL
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 945Please respect copyright.PENANAPPkCSnDEj1
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 945Please respect copyright.PENANAccDjEjLmwJ
massive Times Square complex.945Please respect copyright.PENANA84BRxFB20B
So945Please respect copyright.PENANAl4iOBqtb97
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 945Please respect copyright.PENANAIf6lIL1ElP
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 945Please respect copyright.PENANAX9ksQ22y2h
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 945Please respect copyright.PENANAoB1B6OBUl8
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 945Please respect copyright.PENANAEYiL3OBI6S
serious.945Please respect copyright.PENANAz31if8BYZ9
"It's945Please respect copyright.PENANABuOz9egSPe
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 945Please respect copyright.PENANA01sRXeE9Uy
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 945Please respect copyright.PENANAx0BRWfXuod
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."945Please respect copyright.PENANA2AreXt9lDg
I945Please respect copyright.PENANAT7FQytSzWs
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 945Please respect copyright.PENANAopGp0FREIo
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 945Please respect copyright.PENANAymagHh4HTI
somewhat worrying.945Please respect copyright.PENANACYrSWMa9Ak
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."945Please respect copyright.PENANAAbfzxISQOg
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.945Please respect copyright.PENANAzGC6lnPZ3z
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."945Please respect copyright.PENANA2OEW5TPkhd
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.945Please respect copyright.PENANABtZHmbDrhG
"You're right. I do."945Please respect copyright.PENANAmyLmYEI3jc
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.945Please respect copyright.PENANAYmc8R7JZiR
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."945Please respect copyright.PENANA9s9jLGJg3V
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.945Please respect copyright.PENANAu5ldS1RGaJ
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.945Please respect copyright.PENANAFa1j6jOY3T
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.945Please respect copyright.PENANAz88lozqFwP
"You're945Please respect copyright.PENANAxWn9Gi8p6J
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 945Please respect copyright.PENANA08u4tRJUQA
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 945Please respect copyright.PENANAg0YAxEzCPX
around here."945Please respect copyright.PENANAhnqjV86qSx
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.945Please respect copyright.PENANANroGOatwS4
"Who said we need to 945Please respect copyright.PENANAhW1j8QjPtr
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 945Please respect copyright.PENANA69QRmzl9dz
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."945Please respect copyright.PENANA7VeOHonthq
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."945Please respect copyright.PENANAmoktpuHuBr
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.945Please respect copyright.PENANAigwJjYqwlG
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.945Please respect copyright.PENANAxux8G4k9Ss
"Where?" Zoey asked.945Please respect copyright.PENANAIErWuUVTPM
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"945Please respect copyright.PENANAtIfaCJlBz1
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.945Please respect copyright.PENANAjXHD0htY4W
"Wait, a minute!" I 945Please respect copyright.PENANA5b8FunJpnE
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 945Please respect copyright.PENANAZEolvqpYVN
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."945Please respect copyright.PENANAIEPhTYy1U6
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.945Please respect copyright.PENANAWMy8Eb1MIl
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"945Please respect copyright.PENANAoBYynFr8Wv
"Did someone just say 945Please respect copyright.PENANAWKYcLH3Ort
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 945Please respect copyright.PENANAMcbF4uUJu5
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"945Please respect copyright.PENANA6WIoH91gPh
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.945Please respect copyright.PENANAaaxHgiZ8oI
"You're doing that thing945Please respect copyright.PENANAWovyvSQACr
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 945Please respect copyright.PENANAAWxCQylFp6
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."945Please respect copyright.PENANAYUZ4tKw9kE
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."945Please respect copyright.PENANAU1GhOB8h7A
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."945Please respect copyright.PENANAIwJBThRnv4
"Ya, true," said Mike.945Please respect copyright.PENANA0hVpENZdcd
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"945Please respect copyright.PENANA1c4AhZWLMY
"I'm not going to 945Please respect copyright.PENANAT8htJohPVG
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and945Please respect copyright.PENANAMCZ44JZ9wM
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."945Please respect copyright.PENANAWNB4Ao08pP
"No, I'm scared that 945Please respect copyright.PENANA4igYRWYNHW
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 945Please respect copyright.PENANAzccD1SBHYK
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.945Please respect copyright.PENANAeA8STRYjqd
I looked at Zoey, then 945Please respect copyright.PENANAyhwQ8dSUhW
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 945Please respect copyright.PENANA9RiwpAujjG
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 945Please respect copyright.PENANA9jeDgeiDaK
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready945Please respect copyright.PENANApo6jmT0SXn
for that bumpy ride again.945Please respect copyright.PENANAutVMSWybYJ
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.945Please respect copyright.PENANAbxgPVd53aV
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.945Please respect copyright.PENANApEj4IT5ZYp
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.945Please respect copyright.PENANA4xAIF56dr4
Daniel's mouth gaped 945Please respect copyright.PENANAOp9Sckc0On
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 945Please respect copyright.PENANAT1n0cDfPE3
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"945Please respect copyright.PENANA2fu6g74gje
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."945Please respect copyright.PENANASq42OzNLYx
"Well, I think we can 945Please respect copyright.PENANApmg425shbC
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so945Please respect copyright.PENANABNQq02LoS3
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."945Please respect copyright.PENANAIuzgEuTLW7
"Same here," said Mino.945Please respect copyright.PENANA9ufV7nMekV
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"945Please respect copyright.PENANA517GXOoyuu
Everyone including me 945Please respect copyright.PENANAqNSbYZn2yB
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 945Please respect copyright.PENANAJzpbRFPrwr
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 945Please respect copyright.PENANAbQDbqMTfAj
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in945Please respect copyright.PENANAy1VDWcziUa
Times Square.945Please respect copyright.PENANA44iY3woNH1
"There's an open food 945Please respect copyright.PENANAbk08Ai9zp4
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 945Please respect copyright.PENANAsrR0cySVka
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.945Please respect copyright.PENANAoytvo3IT3r
"Gosh, I've now realised945Please respect copyright.PENANAIjwrNg7VJx
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 945Please respect copyright.PENANAWRGRQGwDXW
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.945Please respect copyright.PENANAed8RDMQ62t
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.945Please respect copyright.PENANARxuA8DPPhT
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."945Please respect copyright.PENANALzz9SqkRrA
"No wonder you Toxins 945Please respect copyright.PENANAsv3qasNACD
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 945Please respect copyright.PENANADteYL88uQe
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."945Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0kbIiCJjM
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.945Please respect copyright.PENANAJxK1FoLCw0
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."945Please respect copyright.PENANAKSJMjPDdXk
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."945Please respect copyright.PENANAotFGvxRe4p
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.945Please respect copyright.PENANAplD6mnr1wx
Zoey, Christine and the 945Please respect copyright.PENANAwa0NUfHS80
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 945Please respect copyright.PENANAS21FWqJdXs
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 945Please respect copyright.PENANAKQSNvIk4CV
going.945Please respect copyright.PENANAzFjo1pJ1Po
"That's insulting," said Jennie.945Please respect copyright.PENANAI1ecXk6iNK
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.945Please respect copyright.PENANANpzgQZDziN
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."945Please respect copyright.PENANAv8Q9HJdfv2
I burst out laughing 945Please respect copyright.PENANAAAPIcEAHbp
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 945Please respect copyright.PENANApKjoZRdNfc
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 945Please respect copyright.PENANA3dDVLjzSNQ
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 945Please respect copyright.PENANAyHOVA69ELu
other floors because that would surly be something.945Please respect copyright.PENANAXFYyzb1tnF
"Good one, TOP," said 945Please respect copyright.PENANA69dcEcbtkB
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 945Please respect copyright.PENANAfmebCjJjre
have thought of that in a million years."945Please respect copyright.PENANArkYdiNIESF
Everyone continued to 945Please respect copyright.PENANAhWkCk9oaO0
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 945Please respect copyright.PENANAfIEkqJYvBl
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 945Please respect copyright.PENANAOMI9rXe3rF
how annoyed she was.945Please respect copyright.PENANAWRpTfgYlYF
"I can't believe you 945Please respect copyright.PENANAYg2VK9H5P2
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 945Please respect copyright.PENANAEG3CEa61kb
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."945Please respect copyright.PENANAY8CzZu80sb
"Don't worry, Zoey," 945Please respect copyright.PENANA8HmmQa82rP
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a945Please respect copyright.PENANAsB9ZHiYp2r
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."945Please respect copyright.PENANA8LbFj1YLUo
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."945Please respect copyright.PENANA9gXL6i97U3
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."945Please respect copyright.PENANATLUuno4Ymh
"I'll sting him so bad, 945Please respect copyright.PENANAH1F4Aw4mDZ
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at945Please respect copyright.PENANAkkFgfNzOsX
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.945Please respect copyright.PENANAEmLn3X6ISl
"Oh, look, a stage," 945Please respect copyright.PENANA1fk2MnYMAy
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from945Please respect copyright.PENANAB5tngYZHDh
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.945Please respect copyright.PENANAYGnhAJjjEG
In the direction Daniel 945Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9aKAyhUea
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 945Please respect copyright.PENANARY2SVjkxyl
there and get up on it. We all followed him.945Please respect copyright.PENANALF3sEeico9
"I've missed being on 945Please respect copyright.PENANAN8wJl6Myfy
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 945Please respect copyright.PENANA7kQsBoyyMh
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.945Please respect copyright.PENANA1LJqW4oTTr
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.945Please respect copyright.PENANALXeH4KPmxm
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.945Please respect copyright.PENANAzeh0GR9Y96
"We're just having fun,"945Please respect copyright.PENANAFsG4yzbQ4A
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.945Please respect copyright.PENANAJJDO8IMkQg
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 945Please respect copyright.PENANAOv8qa6CVjz
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 945Please respect copyright.PENANA8stZgT3juF
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 945Please respect copyright.PENANAMaHSTeFMV7
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.945Please respect copyright.PENANAdhf6880E3E
The rest of us down the 945Please respect copyright.PENANApW40MHwK88
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 945Please respect copyright.PENANA8gLdcEIbSs
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 945Please respect copyright.PENANAIW4KbEfrr2
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 945Please respect copyright.PENANAg5Kk981tMW
side of him was a shocker.945Please respect copyright.PENANA4fqLIo3bgT
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."945Please respect copyright.PENANAjcbOMi8WrW
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.945Please respect copyright.PENANAn7z4c6ESgZ
"Mum would be so proud,"945Please respect copyright.PENANAb1dW5uGQXg
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 945Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ9LQCGuJ4
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."945Please respect copyright.PENANAB9edtirSjv
"Haha, very funny," said945Please respect copyright.PENANAmQFkj7c0wL
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 945Please respect copyright.PENANAi8xv9RlJHx
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"945Please respect copyright.PENANAVC2c2GRI45
I looked at Mike and he 945Please respect copyright.PENANADl0xQpBgsx
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 945Please respect copyright.PENANAMo0idH3H5c
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 945Please respect copyright.PENANAHY9JD3YNKI
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."945Please respect copyright.PENANAfvlTsGmL6Y
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."945Please respect copyright.PENANAir1epXWj0t
"I'm still not going to 945Please respect copyright.PENANAK3PjbNRDOs
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 945Please respect copyright.PENANAGHt0ZuWH6I
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."945Please respect copyright.PENANA3yvYzFwV0R
"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.945Please respect copyright.PENANAB05z8kP6Ir
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.945Please respect copyright.PENANAcktboVkOS8
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.945Please respect copyright.PENANAVoSsvdwGkn
"No," she said still not945Please respect copyright.PENANAx4IlizgQWC
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 945Please respect copyright.PENANA9yKdAhxfyy
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."945Please respect copyright.PENANA7LzrvctY8R
Everyone turned to look 945Please respect copyright.PENANA5TIK3ikXJH
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 945Please respect copyright.PENANA7SKOmbuGMf
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 945Please respect copyright.PENANAnagWWu1er7
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 945Please respect copyright.PENANAjADMx99oHV
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger945Please respect copyright.PENANAp6yeUgkyAf
was to sweet talk her somehow.945Please respect copyright.PENANAKFJ2HB20FR
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."945Please respect copyright.PENANAHtzloB7juX
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.945Please respect copyright.PENANA1JPbpYfTi3
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.945Please respect copyright.PENANAUvz94TKX8C
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"945Please respect copyright.PENANAvWSDMaFcuk
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.945Please respect copyright.PENANA9lddvUud9J
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."945Please respect copyright.PENANABSxWzmMJ5V
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.945Please respect copyright.PENANAg2Kdy8UgFi
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.945Please respect copyright.PENANACIavJxyFfL
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.945Please respect copyright.PENANADUg3nj7SZF
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.945Please respect copyright.PENANAu5TPOklAW6
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.945Please respect copyright.PENANALnNBaP9fP5
I snapped my fingers 945Please respect copyright.PENANAgrRXBREcDo
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 945Please respect copyright.PENANAAoQWWar4Ib
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.945Please respect copyright.PENANAJcyBHIcr0j
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 945Please respect copyright.PENANAYETWBbcK9l
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.945Please respect copyright.PENANAi8MNx9WVEy
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 945Please respect copyright.PENANAGV5P8EdRsI
Lisa: You're sweet like 945Please respect copyright.PENANAeL0Wkcensl
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]945Please respect copyright.PENANAjGfpd1Eyd2
Jennie: You're sweet like 945Please respect copyright.PENANAvNCUD7BftT
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 945Please respect copyright.PENANAHxPLgbZyeu
We all ended up giving a945Please respect copyright.PENANAMbIh76k7oU
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 945Please respect copyright.PENANAkew44qTRyp
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 945Please respect copyright.PENANApSYLjrxFWc
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 945Please respect copyright.PENANAQnYAQv98xS
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 945Please respect copyright.PENANAPkSj1FMSFO
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.945Please respect copyright.PENANA70CxOfW8hm
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.945Please respect copyright.PENANADejRkeSpID
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.945Please respect copyright.PENANAKUoTGF8xVF
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.945Please respect copyright.PENANAwHtA9F2Fbc
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.945Please respect copyright.PENANAEzyVjOXfo8
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.945Please respect copyright.PENANAov3YozS8Gh
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.945Please respect copyright.PENANAJdhfIDv1Vv
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.945Please respect copyright.PENANAgmZSJGytG2
Im a fan all day.945Please respect copyright.PENANA9w7GB9Cuoy
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.945Please respect copyright.PENANADC36ZC8yPb
My manage behavior; Im into your major.945Please respect copyright.PENANAMRYppZWLwl
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.945Please respect copyright.PENANA8DGS8mxon1
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:945Please respect copyright.PENANAcyRr1ygegn
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.945Please respect copyright.PENANAnM2wOY42Nm
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.945Please respect copyright.PENANAdmd61LLJ8f
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.945Please respect copyright.PENANAEX7JU0ogic
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 945Please respect copyright.PENANAwbQJlE6NBF
The three couples on 945Please respect copyright.PENANAfg2vBjiarO
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And945Please respect copyright.PENANAwAlYGvysH0
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 945Please respect copyright.PENANANAKnYXQirR
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 945Please respect copyright.PENANAR3UL5Fptgo
three couples surrounding me in a circle.945Please respect copyright.PENANApH746Q3Mbm
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]945Please respect copyright.PENANASTCywb5ACB
This candy got you sprung [x2]945Please respect copyright.PENANAffTNnCHJ8O
So call me your sugar [x2]945Please respect copyright.PENANABxeMMLfBrj
You love you some [x2]945Please respect copyright.PENANAUFbaR0bypm
I'm sweet like 945Please respect copyright.PENANAWPiWAX4DOv
All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 945Please respect copyright.PENANAnQdxe1XFcW
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]945Please respect copyright.PENANABq5xo11bTa
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di945Please respect copyright.PENANACllCOAKHeh
Sugar945Please respect copyright.PENANAyttBnONCt4
Seunghoon came up on 945Please respect copyright.PENANAS3Z9g7Bwae
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 945Please respect copyright.PENANAW3j9GOr4gA
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.945Please respect copyright.PENANASpFBNF6B23
Down stage, Seungyoon 945Please respect copyright.PENANAkPSoNRQDY9
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a945Please respect copyright.PENANAjhXiiCRGtH
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 945Please respect copyright.PENANAMt5GjEFzTE
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 945Please respect copyright.PENANAKKNzbLM4HX
all did that simultaneously was awesome.945Please respect copyright.PENANAn7nzNhqDUe
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.945Please respect copyright.PENANARXbgjARpVl
All: My lips like sugar (x2)945Please respect copyright.PENANA1MAQpChHsx
This candy got you sprung (x2)945Please respect copyright.PENANAHvQQTtkwJ2
So call me your sugar (x2)945Please respect copyright.PENANALcQNXcVIb1
You love you some (x2)945Please respect copyright.PENANAgtdLiBiFtG
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x3)945Please respect copyright.PENANAWyecphK2tf
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 945Please respect copyright.PENANA1wIhd9PyuY
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di945Please respect copyright.PENANAkKK9CBLChH
Sugar 945Please respect copyright.PENANAUp3XLSfpFN
I945Please respect copyright.PENANANtwe4oA0wS
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 945Please respect copyright.PENANAI6gr3Nc8Um
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 945Please respect copyright.PENANARbKQSejmFF
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 945Please respect copyright.PENANAugSBNctymU
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 945Please respect copyright.PENANAnKZoA8QPRv
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.945Please respect copyright.PENANArtDl6j8zsj
Onlookers945Please respect copyright.PENANAVpsh7jpS0o
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 945Please respect copyright.PENANAETUUFYHuiy
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 945Please respect copyright.PENANAqcnBNpeCFj
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.945Please respect copyright.PENANAWd2AVYn3AR
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.945Please respect copyright.PENANAHCWCtZbhBN
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.945Please respect copyright.PENANA1rA93cxWPr
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.945Please respect copyright.PENANAuNQRB2gGBX
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.945Please respect copyright.PENANA3lIxlRHzKB
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.945Please respect copyright.PENANAkRRluUHL7M
"Ya, we really should," I answered.945Please respect copyright.PENANAr10PcveAR2
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.945Please respect copyright.PENANAozGFXiFVFl
"Take a bow," I said.945Please respect copyright.PENANAZHtwExNDCo
Zoey who stood next to 945Please respect copyright.PENANA9iZh9PnISB
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 945Please respect copyright.PENANAZaGKyG1oHN
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took945Please respect copyright.PENANAua7D05XHZ3
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down945Please respect copyright.PENANAnGDSRJkUHD
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 945Please respect copyright.PENANAnOe7VQI680
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.945Please respect copyright.PENANAK0JmaA2exn
"Well, this just got 945Please respect copyright.PENANAoIK2MdTODc
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 945Please respect copyright.PENANACQXAn2lTNj
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.945Please respect copyright.PENANAGtyNEpl8cD
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."945Please respect copyright.PENANAlMoprMcetB
The way Mike said it 945Please respect copyright.PENANAbEKvXeWFz4
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 945Please respect copyright.PENANAk6U6XDylYR
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 945Please respect copyright.PENANA65ujOjeCdC
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.945Please respect copyright.PENANAzrgJ3cwpJi
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.945Please respect copyright.PENANApNmVdm1zgr
When I got down from the945Please respect copyright.PENANACPQ2tLStCd
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 945Please respect copyright.PENANA1PztLxVRnn
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in945Please respect copyright.PENANAtGvrd01uUT
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I945Please respect copyright.PENANAw6yJ9z0v5i
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.945Please respect copyright.PENANAvvTjHdJvML
"Well, you guys sure 945Please respect copyright.PENANA5Vn59tL28N
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 945Please respect copyright.PENANAiB4UvoiTFg
had to warn the security before I could even get here."945Please respect copyright.PENANAMs970DWUw7
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.945Please respect copyright.PENANAUQMok0vMpu
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't945Please respect copyright.PENANAsAOyHl5dE8
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 945Please respect copyright.PENANA9KPchkPEIU
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"945Please respect copyright.PENANAqfzGaU2bc5
"We just missed you, 945Please respect copyright.PENANAX2vTEBhcnj
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually945Please respect copyright.PENANAGZNAV9LrML
with us but these past days you haven't."945Please respect copyright.PENANASnmp0iIy6u
"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."945Please respect copyright.PENANAvQ1zXZOY32
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.945Please respect copyright.PENANA1rs0Wjd8WX
"He would've called by 945Please respect copyright.PENANA2o4R53u1lV
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 945Please respect copyright.PENANAd6acXwsHut
no calls from the grim reapers yet."945Please respect copyright.PENANA9fX30urhq8
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.945Please respect copyright.PENANAoZCnBgPWoD
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"945Please respect copyright.PENANABmZX59gFYv
Immediately Lee focused 945Please respect copyright.PENANAgWlAaghV1Z
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone945Please respect copyright.PENANAJRSVxovTI1
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 945Please respect copyright.PENANAIXmSroQuxL
couldn't blame them.945Please respect copyright.PENANA4X2m3u02OP
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.945Please respect copyright.PENANABMOoySNiKz
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.945Please respect copyright.PENANAfucv0bTYnN
"How945Please respect copyright.PENANAlwDqFE0ORO
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked945Please respect copyright.PENANAMG1V2GNjdH
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into945Please respect copyright.PENANAK1Kv3BS7Fu
your own dance hall."945Please respect copyright.PENANAajj9cXfJjC
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."945Please respect copyright.PENANAUJyJ8svRhO
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"945Please respect copyright.PENANAbSqO4i49VX
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.945Please respect copyright.PENANA3hEpr1yRhT
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....945Please respect copyright.PENANA50fM3WP3fp
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.945Please respect copyright.PENANAlRDyAx5kr7
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.945Please respect copyright.PENANAi7XaCWADif
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.945Please respect copyright.PENANAmqPKUPMGwR
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."945Please respect copyright.PENANA3OajwjoDEn
"No,945Please respect copyright.PENANAUOPlWdUTnE
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 945Please respect copyright.PENANAd45UVIYpq7
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell945Please respect copyright.PENANAgwPZ4i6Bs3
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"945Please respect copyright.PENANARq9g38kTMZ
"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.945Please respect copyright.PENANAa86XlmLYMa
"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?"945Please respect copyright.PENANAdpHOlBmaRB
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.945Please respect copyright.PENANAfmpUPsvBSq
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.945Please respect copyright.PENANAji8CroVIRs
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.945Please respect copyright.PENANArWwcz1ZvVT
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.945Please respect copyright.PENANAQnvO6HZnaK
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.945Please respect copyright.PENANAFOYDXnuy7Y
I945Please respect copyright.PENANA9u2H1alLZZ
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 945Please respect copyright.PENANAaqSQEZFsKA
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 945Please respect copyright.PENANALTPqhy1k4C
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it945Please respect copyright.PENANAkVhedwA2gw
was a lot to take in.945Please respect copyright.PENANAak0KXvJkvz
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."945Please respect copyright.PENANASWOSBPhBSO
"That's945Please respect copyright.PENANA7aSC33a4kw
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 945Please respect copyright.PENANA6kUiF42Vqb
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 945Please respect copyright.PENANARQYjcwEfEl
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 945Please respect copyright.PENANAzArswLfbKF
still find out anyway."945Please respect copyright.PENANAIRlzy3gwkI
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."945Please respect copyright.PENANA180eduoYod
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.945Please respect copyright.PENANAWSg4YX1lk5
Everyone945Please respect copyright.PENANAXOtnK4tYxS
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 945Please respect copyright.PENANASsuZRRSSBg
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 945Please respect copyright.PENANA3jar3f1u6j
somehow the anxiety was killing me.945Please respect copyright.PENANA8j4z5yIcDU
After945Please respect copyright.PENANAovTzDDR8Ou
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan945Please respect copyright.PENANA9zYwd8uUNH
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the945Please respect copyright.PENANACjYGILOi2I
food court when Lee asked:945Please respect copyright.PENANARVs4CD9tUk
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"945Please respect copyright.PENANAL1S0adQFC2
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.945Please respect copyright.PENANAi61XzT8Twm
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.945Please respect copyright.PENANAzM472nynOP
"You945Please respect copyright.PENANAxkecLyUeQT
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 945Please respect copyright.PENANAQjXMh7xmOh
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 945Please respect copyright.PENANAU2CJYmENH0
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."945Please respect copyright.PENANAryhJVfV8y0
"I945Please respect copyright.PENANACI92GoNLt3
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 945Please respect copyright.PENANAf0AdXtdrD0
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 945Please respect copyright.PENANA3dvfzWUPrg
okay."945Please respect copyright.PENANAbqoydmZR23
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.945Please respect copyright.PENANAFFWR9fwFRP
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."945Please respect copyright.PENANAK1dy8S4dBz
"You945Please respect copyright.PENANAjWFWMfaA64
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 945Please respect copyright.PENANAT1TElZdhj1
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 945Please respect copyright.PENANAQ298DGK7so
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 945Please respect copyright.PENANAVgZi39wd98
don't know up to now."945Please respect copyright.PENANAZr1dqwzgae
"BTW945Please respect copyright.PENANAx8DQWQaavK
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I945Please respect copyright.PENANAYhMFWa2M5P
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 945Please respect copyright.PENANAKUdLn93zHP
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 945Please respect copyright.PENANAURF6LgxL3x
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."945Please respect copyright.PENANA2ayb0CmAvg
"I945Please respect copyright.PENANAjekndrzcx9
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 945Please respect copyright.PENANAEn9rxeSRPx
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 945Please respect copyright.PENANAQXlnbSySpe
normal human perspective."945Please respect copyright.PENANAuEQdCuboLn
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."945Please respect copyright.PENANARra5zikh12
"I think she is," said TOP.945Please respect copyright.PENANAgjpOifJXLp
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.945Please respect copyright.PENANAs5yksed8WN
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.945Please respect copyright.PENANAueMhW5Kcyz
Zoey945Please respect copyright.PENANASVHac6ekBV
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 945Please respect copyright.PENANAVwUnhhVsGH
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.945Please respect copyright.PENANAMr2Yi2pP98
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"945Please respect copyright.PENANAoV8SN7eHxu
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.945Please respect copyright.PENANAkZtDzL2CQC
Before945Please respect copyright.PENANAfLEZYoxsQx
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she945Please respect copyright.PENANAN6ECru4CRc
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 945Please respect copyright.PENANACDuB01k5im
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.945Please respect copyright.PENANA2NfHAyprW5
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.945Please respect copyright.PENANAKlg3gTSkin
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.945Please respect copyright.PENANAgxoyZvxW7t
The945Please respect copyright.PENANAf74TtpCLcx
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 945Please respect copyright.PENANA8RIFMbd0Pi
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 945Please respect copyright.PENANAMYhRGMH75v
would never stop fighting no matter what.945Please respect copyright.PENANAhs8A3eZECA
"I945Please respect copyright.PENANABMWDznzgbZ
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a945Please respect copyright.PENANAONupdr4sKX
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 945Please respect copyright.PENANAxgKn61riwm
it's full of drama too."945Please respect copyright.PENANAiTBCsaFdWg
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.945Please respect copyright.PENANAl4ZcnPFN5i
"Do945Please respect copyright.PENANAvb1ooNb2MZ
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 945Please respect copyright.PENANA6thQurz9DE
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 945Please respect copyright.PENANALd2h0RVcUQ
court.945Please respect copyright.PENANAf3ofr6AwhB
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."945Please respect copyright.PENANACc7rjY4RZ3
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."945Please respect copyright.PENANAmDinhunzYe
"I hope so too," said Christine.945Please respect copyright.PENANA9ayxc3R4OD
"Come945Please respect copyright.PENANAaMSMe92EPW
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 945Please respect copyright.PENANAzie2ClvvEN
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."945Please respect copyright.PENANASoDyISIjSO
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.945Please respect copyright.PENANAScnBYC0HqR
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.945Please respect copyright.PENANAZNqUPWxTIc
As945Please respect copyright.PENANAs3Dz8mCM9h
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning945Please respect copyright.PENANAaKg924WvzY
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 945Please respect copyright.PENANAVvmC6PuR3a
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 945Please respect copyright.PENANAKYDig5oIbZ
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 945Please respect copyright.PENANALzQMZuayKf
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.945Please respect copyright.PENANAFHJajpu1cM
I945Please respect copyright.PENANA0V3i4YUm7p
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 945Please respect copyright.PENANAD1Z1VUhbaj
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might945Please respect copyright.PENANATxwLyJ1oRT
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 945Please respect copyright.PENANAjqESvyvlmA
of the blue may arise.945Please respect copyright.PENANAi2bH9RwjVd
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
