Lee's P.O.V1050Please respect copyright.PENANAfpTfmY0wVd
I was so tired as I sat 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAvulTnzRYLO
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAgAfJkPyJw2
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 1050Please respect copyright.PENANABavcKt9ZuF
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAhQbkLkeDGI
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAfQvUuoXOiK
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA6RVC3qcj0L
The past two days have 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA0VhkqxQVnm
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAdXDbUMo0Z6
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAqpiLNaskCb
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being1050Please respect copyright.PENANAUw4MxFdUJl
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA8KNqrDmoQC
complain.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA5PTi0jIoeB
Why should I complain? 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAup6KseJ7SA
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when1050Please respect copyright.PENANARfp0BHYJm1
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAyNs9fcJyPd
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAzAmWJFNN1q
I really love my job. 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAo9H0xHxDmm
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAkbp9XsOE5B
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAdgasEx2UCu
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAaTVauloK6C
Collins is strict and 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAFNsYSQ365m
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAUpRaae9rSm
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAWLq8VBR6BY
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only1050Please respect copyright.PENANAvdbi2vfekh
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set1050Please respect copyright.PENANABzQqyUzidA
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAJOcQU8LpCg
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends1050Please respect copyright.PENANAqjZCXqrEEx
over the years.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAqKAsNmSJoF
And another reason I 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAP4M9IklPgO
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected1050Please respect copyright.PENANAu1TRX3HD1D
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA8NDlzqJwrT
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAXCU2l8N5hm
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAUQ8uzLRYwZ
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAEE5QCt77Vt
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAvfPAk18PTq
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAVhJERro5i4
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's1050Please respect copyright.PENANAnXDYCBudBV
how they have managed to make it this far.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA8Gr230y2mr
As I remained seated and1050Please respect copyright.PENANAPPlTBcFrYe
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much1050Please respect copyright.PENANAsAweFokBrU
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAfzesbdCDxl
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0qOLPeGfO
like that at all.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAPIXm13W7Nc
Not that I'm acting like1050Please respect copyright.PENANArU7vkRFe95
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAYtMK1creCM
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 1050Please respect copyright.PENANADAdP8jKrlj
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAbZdn3WQcjN
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to1050Please respect copyright.PENANAAMTxnIE2an
help in any way I can.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAn8DHBBfnG7
I looked at the time on 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAwZhu0DleZa
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAauVarkbptY
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAoLpfO5SXj3
I quickly grabbed my 1050Please respect copyright.PENANABYv4Oqnlhv
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAuZkMFLKF9e
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAWlHNUc64ti
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ9VTnENmG
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAEYP0MpWlS1
"Ya, we're done with practise."1050Please respect copyright.PENANApVHUYMqTv5
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAFUNiPoSCLS
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANALJ2xvUrueP
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAzAF3kvU2BG
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAyTQShV3KK8
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAXKia5GxMDW
Whatever ounce of 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA4UwIMWGgOv
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAsxK9NfnSaS
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously1050Please respect copyright.PENANA4wlR2R3QmF
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAtbjG9vduY5
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAkaP3zYJNyk
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAnyhRqheJcg
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."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAdrK95OH0qx
"Is Collins with you?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAjZycEuJVZo
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."1050Please respect copyright.PENANARKOK4jZExz
"Good. I've something else to tell you."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAd9JhCabnJD
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAG0owcBBL9l
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAtuXhMP7o3l
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."1050Please respect copyright.PENANALpSPpOmRge
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."1050Please respect copyright.PENANA7aQHEYDV6J
"Tell me then," I insisted.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA1iaagKXowt
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."1050Please respect copyright.PENANA50SxhOysuo
"Did you and TOP kiss?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANA33SiC5EyHa
"What! No! No way!"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAbMEIls39Ts
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAAbV58iEtRh
"What makes you think that?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAxA0D2AVGLm
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAWQRu1jcO7V
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."1050Please respect copyright.PENANANgEPYWG98g
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAYKv0hiWPkQ
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7u6ET9P0u
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAn3RmZQodnq
"Try me, Sam. I've been 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA4jrk5xJkEW
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAx3HSfJULMW
on that I won't be surprised this time around."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAPUxCxONdgN
"No, Lee, this time it's different."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAkJNgLcieGy
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAt3KtWF5ym2
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAaHwqJu8dkL
Before Sam could say 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAL9ACSxFYam
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAFeQ8bFCqfc
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAY2WU7wrAGf
quickly realised that it wasn't.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAxvEgISF3Iw
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAtmNhPu88q4
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAzPuMr2x1lV
"What the what! Sam! 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAwvfc8ekTKZ
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAMdDSwGOwJx
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZhVaIsN4L
"Wait, hold on, give me a1050Please respect copyright.PENANAiCj9QlTVya
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAYb4YYCyZR0
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAZAtWv7x48p
tell you."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAaXuIpRvz35
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANA10wVtydetW
"Seunghoon from WINNER."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAIsFmrw9Qdc
I thought the world 1050Please respect copyright.PENANADQS7cTJM6O
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt1050Please respect copyright.PENANA67c4IocHAq
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAKM16i6JHZD
"Sam, I'm going to faint1050Please respect copyright.PENANALvJTS8Ocny
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAJjDxR22vNN
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAEW0nFPqB8Y
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0PeaQY9RR
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAimuMFGdu2k
"I know, but I've a plan."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAjEmraJVVAE
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAp1kiNn06mC
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAo5kuDWlMEu
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANADeZYvcTdvS
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAyxgjc4qSJ1
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAXzqFPOuHhz
"Or you can just join in1050Please respect copyright.PENANAWoFCYrS3IW
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAuFBUuXvSeL
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAwduGaBgIDM
"Okay, I'll be there. 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAMXGYPIWVkb
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAkwKkSq0T0P
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAmGWvbMahYk
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAD6kzRcgSUt
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAuIv6xq9ByK
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAqw81bo0ptE
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAoUeBrSxGU6
"Alright, I'm on my way."1050Please respect copyright.PENANA7ipPt42F71
I quickly cut the call 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAY6D2sYA0AI
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAiqgU8m04DD
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAkVVQYxScaE
the trending list, I was a little confused.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA9flqALYmjq
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAezwn8poDjc
***1050Please respect copyright.PENANAh6oon82mEr
Sam's P.O.V1050Please respect copyright.PENANAMZmKDhkcAM
I1050Please respect copyright.PENANAsuRRVuVzpz
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAJYBhfqc4kQ
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAw0P7WQPXAF
the fans.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA9DQ63w2RbN
Since1050Please respect copyright.PENANAfxDCUcJjsf
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA7t9nxhVda3
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAtqEDJ2iUDq
massive Times Square complex.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA1nxEr62wj1
So1050Please respect copyright.PENANA2Kp1LPUaQj
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAxBk9I9W1VD
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAvQiWbbvVu3
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAhEqfUgN21x
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 1050Please respect copyright.PENANArKyTtkZbyq
serious.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAZxaAGNe1V5
"It's1050Please respect copyright.PENANASM4gWiPi6t
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAUVD7SuPl40
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAnKfL7LHtQl
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAc6q5GxQPxA
I1050Please respect copyright.PENANAyOaajazb42
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAEIUq3IMQr4
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 1050Please respect copyright.PENANABHqQI1z4wb
somewhat worrying.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAnZqnrqHzcD
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAq0CwGusSWq
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ow6Yx0Cpl
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAkJorRIZTvw
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAhzsCp8on13
"You're right. I do."1050Please respect copyright.PENANA8jxD2CWu72
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.1050Please respect copyright.PENANACo3F6zXNNk
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAMFft4atNnX
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAM0gOsa6yE7
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAjhFlivSJdr
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAlwYwrCyFeA
"You're1050Please respect copyright.PENANAKS7nPgfcEK
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA2eiOTgAzce
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA5OKlcEqakw
around here."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAft8vt1ihoz
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAgUqr1IKNCg
"Who said we need to 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAYC3v7wyBjW
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAbCQfENLTXg
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAENaBbYBZtO
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAOkiTV2gTZk
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZSqNENWP8
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAtUvlJpoTJ1
"Where?" Zoey asked.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAkLmPnldMnR
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANA4ppgcPmX8J
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAd6LOnnksPs
"Wait, a minute!" I 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAe4YsJYPCUD
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 1050Please respect copyright.PENANANSxmBaaJk3
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAfojhja3UaD
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.1050Please respect copyright.PENANALkJhiYfbr2
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"1050Please respect copyright.PENANA5Jh4S69hGV
"Did someone just say 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAFOfv7SVxQx
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAG7BC0nc0nr
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAiWFamkhlJi
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAz7nVgxPC3D
"You're doing that thing1050Please respect copyright.PENANAg4jn59OPQc
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 1050Please respect copyright.PENANALOw8yi4ACY
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAChFDaIhbm5
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAZzytBAHWBS
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAlxPAnYkiUV
"Ya, true," said Mike.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAN5vNERfbrk
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAO5rgk3NFFn
"I'm not going to 1050Please respect copyright.PENANALNriIrOJ3k
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and1050Please respect copyright.PENANAExr7nEVc8h
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAaTGVqhfYsY
"No, I'm scared that 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA8fcsmZDOj5
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAov3cG6MD6G
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAXBP7nyT8Xu
I looked at Zoey, then 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAOKQ20yREaW
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA7uT3HpcmIS
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAhwXiW2U8Iy
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready1050Please respect copyright.PENANAz1HKqbCuYD
for that bumpy ride again.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA8cobUKblIu
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAXtEgngpF0C
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAsMtFGPInaX
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAnECqOpPy6i
Daniel's mouth gaped 1050Please respect copyright.PENANATeOwwMB3Yi
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA2oM9sgwNAZ
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAVv4uvLJolk
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."1050Please respect copyright.PENANARKwOJrrcv4
"Well, I think we can 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAQdmYFplI1W
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so1050Please respect copyright.PENANAd7bLOVJ3BH
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."1050Please respect copyright.PENANApKKa9P9ugN
"Same here," said Mino.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAqf617jSnOd
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAT7GnVoon3u
Everyone including me 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAcMcW90C84n
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAPO6edgCSvz
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA6NYbipZb4R
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in1050Please respect copyright.PENANAauuo0j1sp0
Times Square.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAQM5ZO6p2CU
"There's an open food 1050Please respect copyright.PENANALsVFsEySXr
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAG1dsWpAy2X
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAztjobZhIXZ
"Gosh, I've now realised1050Please respect copyright.PENANAIx3GPpYHz4
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAKXqp2w5JKt
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.1050Please respect copyright.PENANArbrH6KxZaz
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAl8v3Ceov1I
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAEA6qsxAUgw
"No wonder you Toxins 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAcSmNrsBV64
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAMtVWZkfW1A
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAZc9Gaj3w7p
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA818iz7IpiX
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAcO12EavOmw
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAJxy981gutE
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAX88sUTWxOw
Zoey, Christine and the 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAU9YpR7R6oJ
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 1050Please respect copyright.PENANArrlkeJKD1O
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA0uTul8UcdT
going.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAgMvAChC6K4
"That's insulting," said Jennie.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAYEFGMwgJ4d
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAs66eiu4uLA
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."1050Please respect copyright.PENANA9LnEqshHFL
I burst out laughing 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA6XnUILtlTI
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 1050Please respect copyright.PENANARXD5IzzzSr
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 1050Please respect copyright.PENANACk0kzfuAqF
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAUTTPMr8h3A
other floors because that would surly be something.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAJyYzMOPzr3
"Good one, TOP," said 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAhQ8T1DHAht
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 1050Please respect copyright.PENANABUtO8BE53c
have thought of that in a million years."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAfwreWO7Jwx
Everyone continued to 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAzTwAUCbDAj
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAL8lYRPp8Hg
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAhrAAbv43k3
how annoyed she was.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAc2Wgj9AZ7S
"I can't believe you 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAdnIQ1uWBlo
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAqP4Lyw2h9s
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAmbJBOulXS1
"Don't worry, Zoey," 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAtUXSQXTOja
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a1050Please respect copyright.PENANAZS8CnnNF8X
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."1050Please respect copyright.PENANABPN2LZoreL
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAC8L9A8XdPF
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAINYGEKbHBH
"I'll sting him so bad, 1050Please respect copyright.PENANARuCbJJ0zH0
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at1050Please respect copyright.PENANAC0Lh88AcBX
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAbXxujI823y
"Oh, look, a stage," 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAC2cC2V7Om5
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from1050Please respect copyright.PENANAuFSUSILo1g
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAk1cUSUOGL1
In the direction Daniel 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAAvGwhVQypa
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA6ONRcdhBMg
there and get up on it. We all followed him.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAuUQFGuQSZe
"I've missed being on 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAIPuV0HfXFx
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 1050Please respect copyright.PENANARDS9oDZ4kC
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAG4lxnZ3l7J
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAyWU1epZMa6
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.1050Please respect copyright.PENANATZxnKCxz3r
"We're just having fun,"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAw1jygdpCRl
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.1050Please respect copyright.PENANABKzPIM3sVq
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAORgDe2xYld
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAuKDj86ql17
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAAdylssywPN
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAE7dbb54vz5
The rest of us down the 1050Please respect copyright.PENANASkSF6yn3OI
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 1050Please respect copyright.PENANANo22KoNb6i
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA7JvCWhIrjx
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6o67TEAzt
side of him was a shocker.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAqpJ2msptX8
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAUoPx633wfb
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.1050Please respect copyright.PENANACY3CsaFx11
"Mum would be so proud,"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAxQc3SVXgUe
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAQt0DX81uf8
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAvcoDxPqeL0
"Haha, very funny," said1050Please respect copyright.PENANA3XnW37w3Bx
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAZlF5q0MzpI
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAsxqRmY6lcH
I looked at Mike and he 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAb0UbSQM68j
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAEhrKm61GbY
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAWnPjSLa6rL
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAaKe05GgsiW
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAGyExGZZkvs
"I'm still not going to 1050Please respect copyright.PENANALIFhKV2iYM
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAuDVsgtEPE6
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAG6aZcnHXpy
"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.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAQRP08m3WE8
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAqX5UM58xMj
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA840LtphesL
"No," she said still not1050Please respect copyright.PENANAi0fLy2IAzu
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA1MPHEXJswn
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."1050Please respect copyright.PENANANuQ50c6juH
Everyone turned to look 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAoGVxxsAEDZ
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAyDZTKTOPgB
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 1050Please respect copyright.PENANApzBzWNZkN1
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA1m5BENIofg
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger1050Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2FW91rzuu
was to sweet talk her somehow.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA3aOrVHujeL
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."1050Please respect copyright.PENANA0HPosIAKEW
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAZWuUGOc90t
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAW9j2wMGpIu
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANA9FtBivD6Kp
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.1050Please respect copyright.PENANApcm7EBYEzX
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAtfgVqpkeNY
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.1050Please respect copyright.PENANASunGMUE6Rt
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAzHNi2cDfy6
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAi26BrhsMeD
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAOnkeXPDDq9
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA78MgBl9qJV
I snapped my fingers 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAkFWwggHQsb
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAGuKGDzHdYc
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAwtHHuI2Hv5
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2uYFEJU2G
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAcIRtYWpTG6
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAYc79xkhqeJ
Lisa: You're sweet like 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAAfT2OTnQ1C
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]1050Please respect copyright.PENANAAUzHpuITHg
Jennie: You're sweet like 1050Please respect copyright.PENANABK8TrgfsBA
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 1050Please respect copyright.PENANADUcSgEPZd7
We all ended up giving a1050Please respect copyright.PENANA7XIVOTCCZJ
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAvTTRYJwJJO
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAq2MOLwFsaO
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAlMDli4uLEJ
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAIotWpRT7L8
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAh6SOfcRors
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA3uhpZsMh5J
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAkwc4bMcOUy
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAecXuzrp43J
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAbrmR4yngby
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAREU4WiXbeC
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA9RCO9LElLZ
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.1050Please respect copyright.PENANANOpf5e3ODB
Im a fan all day.1050Please respect copyright.PENANADFYopntnDe
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAGysyrZ99DU
My manage behavior; Im into your major.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAA2lJLYqzoO
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAOyHJeEhFAX
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:1050Please respect copyright.PENANArpzSfhRCI5
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAuNcvuHSL26
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAoKeJKMc3dT
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAa5qnUKP4U7
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAA3yTUM1rGt
The three couples on 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAFpgr4s2iHM
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And1050Please respect copyright.PENANAC2K0pqCqzn
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAZUr0QNOutg
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAnIQlqkN9dF
three couples surrounding me in a circle.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAUSzc7Ipv2d
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]1050Please respect copyright.PENANA59ZggpOT2R
This candy got you sprung [x2]1050Please respect copyright.PENANA7EX77XxlMM
So call me your sugar [x2]1050Please respect copyright.PENANAWJwJTdtSUY
You love you some [x2]1050Please respect copyright.PENANAfQln8hP4h1
I'm sweet like 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAS2KcI2eOuw
All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAafFrFp1OFT
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]1050Please respect copyright.PENANA5uwiwZrNXf
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di1050Please respect copyright.PENANANdsArYEF0P
Sugar1050Please respect copyright.PENANAxPDcdgYUPt
Seunghoon came up on 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAlOG8wrmD5X
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAOOjZOFOQ59
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAj9ZBL8rvHa
Down stage, Seungyoon 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAqHPUo59j5H
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a1050Please respect copyright.PENANAeQRoagNKpB
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAorTOpJHZU8
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 1050Please respect copyright.PENANANAktuUVQKt
all did that simultaneously was awesome.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAA1Y8DRN3vw
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAJdlyAny1sZ
All: My lips like sugar (x2)1050Please respect copyright.PENANA6yLGoHm5fi
This candy got you sprung (x2)1050Please respect copyright.PENANAxvmlMInKhi
So call me your sugar (x2)1050Please respect copyright.PENANAz6wuhJXn9P

I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x3)1050Please respect copyright.PENANAsiy1jIYGlK
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAf3KKw5MRGL
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di1050Please respect copyright.PENANAPhOJu5PxlB
Sugar 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAgtYo5jq4aK
I1050Please respect copyright.PENANA69MA11lQx0
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAcfqhnKJXbu
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 1050Please respect copyright.PENANADKPmzUOHnt
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAM1R4WXiB5E
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA3a3dE09S1p
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAaFqmWCuGEn
Onlookers1050Please respect copyright.PENANAV9SPIlSfLb
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAnAX2Cy1739
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAk937vftexf
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAU4flrAgsgR
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAK2v652sVP3
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.1050Please respect copyright.PENANASF10QLNfkY
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA0A4sWOxGrZ
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.1050Please respect copyright.PENANADNPOuax7km
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA3PxWEPIjhX
"Ya, we really should," I answered.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA183CKbn8bU
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAImyNN9oSRn
"Take a bow," I said.1050Please respect copyright.PENANARQmHgShPum
Zoey who stood next to 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAX4dJtdGFE4
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAXBw1EVEsOx
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took1050Please respect copyright.PENANAGktG7cJUQi
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down1050Please respect copyright.PENANAXlixMrG9Pa
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA4aMitrtmsu
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAGiO28ccexb
"Well, this just got 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAz6Bjz8i3Ml
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAYNhxtFJmTK
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAbW9M3G1gpw
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAApoePd8iRx
The way Mike said it 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAhl4q47ey1G
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 1050Please respect copyright.PENANALFg8aSujiG
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAcclVw9tMJ0
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA1DvCTWJ1Sj
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAEdnINLDeV2
When I got down from the1050Please respect copyright.PENANARQ1laoSqsE
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y0IWLaw8D
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in1050Please respect copyright.PENANAGX9TRzNip6
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I1050Please respect copyright.PENANAqf8CT9AcvB
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAnRDu7hEVts
"Well, you guys sure 1050Please respect copyright.PENANALXVQ2qfUds
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAMH3VCm60Y3
had to warn the security before I could even get here."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAxNs4YBIlXh
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAFAmXLzqwjr
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't1050Please respect copyright.PENANA6DrrLqx4to
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 1050Please respect copyright.PENANABIUxw34BLx
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANA19hufcdqOu
"We just missed you, 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAV5mUPrwwoE
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually1050Please respect copyright.PENANAtLmaMiDQCW
with us but these past days you haven't."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAb7yneRRxc3
"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."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAVRPnMMIPgz
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAGG0DvJX25v
"He would've called by 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAfc9Le4tssv
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAqZQKdj5obf
no calls from the grim reapers yet."1050Please respect copyright.PENANANVnAHGxvSH
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA564LQe2SWX
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAZcEUqZFudt
Immediately Lee focused 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAlHl1A9lDvf
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone1050Please respect copyright.PENANATp6y3fhwjw
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAzUqEcU3FhV
couldn't blame them.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAqRNIOYOp92
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAtuAX2785rt
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.1050Please respect copyright.PENANATSrYfGbnH2
"How1050Please respect copyright.PENANAYTwiWsuOPy
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked1050Please respect copyright.PENANAwZg38amUQb
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into1050Please respect copyright.PENANAxuZbvCa0Nl
your own dance hall."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAH2GMFAgsWr
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."1050Please respect copyright.PENANApo8OigF4Sj
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANA093elk6GG3
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.1050Please respect copyright.PENANADImU5OFyU6
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....1050Please respect copyright.PENANACewNdJu5Oi
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAkuNLq0UUWP
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA5S0TTNqbGu
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAtXyPlnplVP
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."1050Please respect copyright.PENANA3gN4rKNVtD
"No,1050Please respect copyright.PENANA71gdId68FF
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAmVNeBXfYcn
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell1050Please respect copyright.PENANAexYW0wFPEW
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAuv06tdeFkO
"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.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAvuvtln7PO2
"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?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAh5fBOjDBkW
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAYAwTlTWNQC
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.1050Please respect copyright.PENANARtUPutztME
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA3unFlj0ujm
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA0WGUxF6f3C
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAbVkk6aHMeB
I1050Please respect copyright.PENANAEy80chAdsE
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAo7FCvqMXj6
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 1050Please respect copyright.PENANArEFBLTAOYp
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it1050Please respect copyright.PENANAruHkjEzvJY
was a lot to take in.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA6BhDyJlKuP
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAT3o4PaQ312
"That's1050Please respect copyright.PENANA8XqsBpO2OU
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAX5BtPsVVG3
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAj5PzzImQQu
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 1050Please respect copyright.PENANASQ6fFEbnU8
still find out anyway."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAe562V9FqgY
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."1050Please respect copyright.PENANA2CWCd9nKZi
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAyMojj8InGV
Everyone1050Please respect copyright.PENANAZMjbiAQSne
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAXmhQim1RVp
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAFV0nb14PgG
somehow the anxiety was killing me.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAj6XT701eSM
After1050Please respect copyright.PENANAPEkUhKVDWF
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan1050Please respect copyright.PENANAogzX8ctvGf
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the1050Please respect copyright.PENANAxAYg2sMSAG
food court when Lee asked:1050Please respect copyright.PENANAA0LILsZ0Sh
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANAHANRi8c1hm
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAn0SVamjx8J
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAm7ZkZGSf77
"You1050Please respect copyright.PENANA4NnGsu3QVZ
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA7grvO8CAVw
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAj3m33HQPLo
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."1050Please respect copyright.PENANACxT2ndevzp
"I1050Please respect copyright.PENANANTzGjD9w1H
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAR7iLifHZpj
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAIYi8ixi8LX
okay."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAYuGyg5VBQ3
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAZtaTx6hYZF
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."1050Please respect copyright.PENANALLVgkVmXVF
"You1050Please respect copyright.PENANAN9g3APrBNp
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAiD5J1q5Kbv
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAACPFTIM69v
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAqS93mGoLjl
don't know up to now."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAh77ZKcSu0C
"BTW1050Please respect copyright.PENANAvFmTnNU7me
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I1050Please respect copyright.PENANAPEqivLQGFS
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAJTRaIE0Qnj
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAICJRxbtbws
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAA92xnyHPvJ
"I1050Please respect copyright.PENANASqFKaW9qF2
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 1050Please respect copyright.PENANApAuROR9nRB
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAgqNHeUCHEH
normal human perspective."1050Please respect copyright.PENANA9pMkvb3Iio
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAKDJJXCnbhn
"I think she is," said TOP.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA0lGxsytudG
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAT9X0eAbDs7
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAFXdkbzsQd0
Zoey1050Please respect copyright.PENANAUq9u6ey3ml
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 1050Please respect copyright.PENANA7uNzzk21Az
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAJsbMvz2fco
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"1050Please respect copyright.PENANATFydeJbh2Y
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA1cMdGTtRlo
Before1050Please respect copyright.PENANAdbQDlyI9Av
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she1050Please respect copyright.PENANA8KAK8ldaCG
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 1050Please respect copyright.PENANATAmj1DZKb6
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA38kwNJxwRv
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAeP4VgvUso0
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAfonNDO8xL0
The1050Please respect copyright.PENANAngAtYkSja5
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 1050Please respect copyright.PENANACoFfjt1Uc8
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAJscgumMu4t
would never stop fighting no matter what.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAwf5vn4Mxle
"I1050Please respect copyright.PENANAxodXlAzhEV
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a1050Please respect copyright.PENANAUppTsEWJ7q
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAbv2xU5wEGO
it's full of drama too."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAvBhqJl3WKm
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAgqCBLjS6Vm
"Do1050Please respect copyright.PENANAVUldKt5Ujo
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAiNwrfdvLx2
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAaGkCsE9gI7
court.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAcrNj3ERUAS
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAxu7fHwlOhk
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAPMblUyPm90
"I hope so too," said Christine.1050Please respect copyright.PENANA1YFTRGpKrv
"Come1050Please respect copyright.PENANAMaRytfWToh
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAWSvXxMUv0J
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."1050Please respect copyright.PENANAHG5pe9xnwd
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAvH6mum7AcW
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAlf64nSS5cp
As1050Please respect copyright.PENANAmGepOz1T5s
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning1050Please respect copyright.PENANAQHUtn0MLvV
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAvGsm5O0LPT
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAEeZY3Hb53E
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAkjmZujOdYa
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAbK5XaPy0zM
I1050Please respect copyright.PENANAfxL0YyWDzc
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAKAbKAEJ4lS
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might1050Please respect copyright.PENANA2NWINlhhZq
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 1050Please respect copyright.PENANAMYcyVKRJzP
of the blue may arise.1050Please respect copyright.PENANAqefpijv6Eo
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
