Lee's P.O.V678Please respect copyright.PENANAkw1d2Qm24J
I was so tired as I sat 678Please respect copyright.PENANAvg1ZudQ62M
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 678Please respect copyright.PENANAlhqBQ7R1VM
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 678Please respect copyright.PENANA0pCvJoitJr
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 678Please respect copyright.PENANAGzHVy9l1Qu
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 678Please respect copyright.PENANAluRf1GDyNC
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.678Please respect copyright.PENANAfem6KyDFM2
The past two days have 678Please respect copyright.PENANAAZmXo1rN1a
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 678Please respect copyright.PENANAzDJB4ir5NV
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 678Please respect copyright.PENANAyonMseOhN6
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being678Please respect copyright.PENANAWDASOkhHyB
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 678Please respect copyright.PENANAEclm8pfpPa
complain.678Please respect copyright.PENANAdqijaySZeO
Why should I complain? 678Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4qMrvMSlC
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when678Please respect copyright.PENANA43TjBmlmzk
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 678Please respect copyright.PENANAKlw0L7MWAU
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.678Please respect copyright.PENANAsQV05mmO2J
I really love my job. 678Please respect copyright.PENANAbCwoI4041n
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.678Please respect copyright.PENANA5WNBUvzpKi
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 678Please respect copyright.PENANACrcSbGG760
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.678Please respect copyright.PENANAbp24B4XAwP
Collins is strict and 678Please respect copyright.PENANAbfQajcoZVW
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 678Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5lCIsK9LM
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 678Please respect copyright.PENANA7mQ5s4bNsT
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only678Please respect copyright.PENANA5kDaWnEL8b
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set678Please respect copyright.PENANAZL0yTeMmOn
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 678Please respect copyright.PENANAF2lHVisCwV
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends678Please respect copyright.PENANAcjfKdTNI8A
over the years.678Please respect copyright.PENANAT2zUkLiRvy
And another reason I 678Please respect copyright.PENANA5F35GcT1uS
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected678Please respect copyright.PENANAHg0nbOAu09
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 678Please respect copyright.PENANAEP6jm1F7hX
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 678Please respect copyright.PENANAWzzgj3d7Rl
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 678Please respect copyright.PENANAoK1Us982cg
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 678Please respect copyright.PENANAtyhxckAHdW
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 678Please respect copyright.PENANAdEM7nMwRFq
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 678Please respect copyright.PENANAXRPkEZ8DAm
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's678Please respect copyright.PENANAjvv0aA01qc
how they have managed to make it this far.678Please respect copyright.PENANAcGTge7Hzck
As I remained seated and678Please respect copyright.PENANAjO70kqytos
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much678Please respect copyright.PENANAwRcIAI9IQi
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 678Please respect copyright.PENANAQxd7oPDUnH
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 678Please respect copyright.PENANAsiCKlO8jZU
like that at all.678Please respect copyright.PENANAToXE490Wmg
Not that I'm acting like678Please respect copyright.PENANAwg8KRwMzrw
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 678Please respect copyright.PENANA3neS2H0s97
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 678Please respect copyright.PENANAj3KW5DKbWD
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 678Please respect copyright.PENANA4b1jqTJdxI
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to678Please respect copyright.PENANAorxshypwfw
help in any way I can.678Please respect copyright.PENANAIZHDDH43L4
I looked at the time on 678Please respect copyright.PENANAg8B6jVwj6s
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 678Please respect copyright.PENANAuBBi1W5o1N
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.678Please respect copyright.PENANA9PuY3EPuGh
I quickly grabbed my 678Please respect copyright.PENANAL1HjxjvVC2
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 678Please respect copyright.PENANApkrlDreCI2
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.678Please respect copyright.PENANALY8Rybo3Zc
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.678Please respect copyright.PENANA7Wz6KyTwLe
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."678Please respect copyright.PENANATuBMPwUfH3
"Ya, we're done with practise."678Please respect copyright.PENANACfsHOIV6Lu
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.678Please respect copyright.PENANAwYkybkJ9yf
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"678Please respect copyright.PENANAwKU4Qcem3H
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."678Please respect copyright.PENANAsuh5nOvgcw
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"678Please respect copyright.PENANAddUNLWcdU7
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."678Please respect copyright.PENANA3xpVVbh2ba
Whatever ounce of 678Please respect copyright.PENANAGUVMDSKCTa
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 678Please respect copyright.PENANAecMoRMeozn
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously678Please respect copyright.PENANA9PW2LTBVjL
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.678Please respect copyright.PENANA2QVRvppjzt
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.678Please respect copyright.PENANAB46E71f0Qs
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."678Please respect copyright.PENANA7vYXaimSxY
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."678Please respect copyright.PENANAHNNLUButd9
"Is Collins with you?"678Please respect copyright.PENANAzYDDijaeMe
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."678Please respect copyright.PENANAmBBGfNWpkm
"Good. I've something else to tell you."678Please respect copyright.PENANAjv8re07Tjw
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"678Please respect copyright.PENANAZYopERKbHT
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."678Please respect copyright.PENANAoS6lwlo36I
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."678Please respect copyright.PENANADZNc1LIKaJ
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."678Please respect copyright.PENANAcVCULNKgZi
"Tell me then," I insisted.678Please respect copyright.PENANA7ufQ4d5qZS
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."678Please respect copyright.PENANAL23hrdk4mm
"Did you and TOP kiss?"678Please respect copyright.PENANAl0dRToE2bz
"What! No! No way!"678Please respect copyright.PENANAVN5cLD6gS6
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."678Please respect copyright.PENANABLZpu9t3aI
"What makes you think that?"678Please respect copyright.PENANATjAWFUEOLy
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."678Please respect copyright.PENANAWQ3glB9N1T
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."678Please respect copyright.PENANAapwoDdUuVM
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"678Please respect copyright.PENANAEe0w1JOWAH
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.678Please respect copyright.PENANAI6oMzf6L6D
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."678Please respect copyright.PENANACODlFtqt3U
"Try me, Sam. I've been 678Please respect copyright.PENANANlSkAaasnv
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 678Please respect copyright.PENANAau9oKtM2d0
on that I won't be surprised this time around."678Please respect copyright.PENANAAxrpbOteea
"No, Lee, this time it's different."678Please respect copyright.PENANAxwSUkoK6CI
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."678Please respect copyright.PENANAAyPUK7Vea3
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."678Please respect copyright.PENANAKyWLloEV12
Before Sam could say 678Please respect copyright.PENANAK5Js2YCLxh
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 678Please respect copyright.PENANAJGfrxTXDOp
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 678Please respect copyright.PENANA0fm0Fo4v01
quickly realised that it wasn't.678Please respect copyright.PENANAOQvrSfpT5P
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.678Please respect copyright.PENANA5uGaAtHuZm
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.678Please respect copyright.PENANA6RyrOXGevv
"What the what! Sam! 678Please respect copyright.PENANAGJ7dRGE754
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 678Please respect copyright.PENANAJmpBFlhjTq
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.678Please respect copyright.PENANAbniaKXO6Rd
"Wait, hold on, give me a678Please respect copyright.PENANA9pzf5QrzFb
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 678Please respect copyright.PENANA2zNTaxJ8UY
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 678Please respect copyright.PENANAYvMYmiIVuL
tell you."678Please respect copyright.PENANAMefUJMveja
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"678Please respect copyright.PENANAgId0f0liLX
"Seunghoon from WINNER."678Please respect copyright.PENANAtIsFVn46Pu
I thought the world 678Please respect copyright.PENANA6mNxKVdpT7
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt678Please respect copyright.PENANAiWRFRjAIQT
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.678Please respect copyright.PENANAiqX1fhK9cX
"Sam, I'm going to faint678Please respect copyright.PENANAxdD6Y5JqUz
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 678Please respect copyright.PENANAXPXYmFdgBS
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"678Please respect copyright.PENANALwC0vfUSQ4
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."678Please respect copyright.PENANAIRUpBYZahN
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."678Please respect copyright.PENANAGHTSPukbep
"I know, but I've a plan."678Please respect copyright.PENANAn9OMH9DQ9k
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"678Please respect copyright.PENANAEEowMlkAF3
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."678Please respect copyright.PENANAz5SSyffFCT
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"678Please respect copyright.PENANA5hrA2sknHc
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."678Please respect copyright.PENANAchRmeM4Y1D
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."678Please respect copyright.PENANAaTAuSoQTXt
"Or you can just join in678Please respect copyright.PENANAsixfU2msQj
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 678Please respect copyright.PENANAqLlHOxEmuE
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."678Please respect copyright.PENANAQhFax4kdUU
"Okay, I'll be there. 678Please respect copyright.PENANAPVJze6oFIR
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 678Please respect copyright.PENANAv5GeHb9Ylh
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 678Please respect copyright.PENANArHJHKLA8v5
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"678Please respect copyright.PENANAHhzCJjj15Q
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."678Please respect copyright.PENANAngsTJLTHRT
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."678Please respect copyright.PENANA1uyZuuJSzv
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."678Please respect copyright.PENANAeBr70eefcJ
"Alright, I'm on my way."678Please respect copyright.PENANAghM9YzonQO
I quickly cut the call 678Please respect copyright.PENANAox8CkIRSmL
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 678Please respect copyright.PENANAg3lPJhnfML
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 678Please respect copyright.PENANAep8yV6dLwj
the trending list, I was a little confused.678Please respect copyright.PENANAcuw3WsjDn3
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.678Please respect copyright.PENANAFw2B1sC10d
***678Please respect copyright.PENANA0qIaMtzazA
Sam's P.O.V678Please respect copyright.PENANAm5VNOaNsb9
I678Please respect copyright.PENANAvdhlTsR5DY
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 678Please respect copyright.PENANAe9dxVP61Wc
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 678Please respect copyright.PENANAtCieyJTjaA
the fans.678Please respect copyright.PENANAABZqzWxxvG
Since678Please respect copyright.PENANA6jKaNNXOVU
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 678Please respect copyright.PENANAUMlQSyzxVY
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 678Please respect copyright.PENANAQic4S9bpop
massive Times Square complex.678Please respect copyright.PENANAQGfKfLlVFV
So678Please respect copyright.PENANAAjAciJZULg
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 678Please respect copyright.PENANAbVcv99r8Zt
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 678Please respect copyright.PENANAJHPLzxOHxa
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 678Please respect copyright.PENANAwbSeMvgsU5
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 678Please respect copyright.PENANANRZkXfcdvj
serious.678Please respect copyright.PENANAQmLH6rjO3G
"It's678Please respect copyright.PENANAUK75sfel8T
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 678Please respect copyright.PENANA8fQDkBisHg
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 678Please respect copyright.PENANAiNqMATluDX
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."678Please respect copyright.PENANAik1ERRz8xN
I678Please respect copyright.PENANA8btG21X3N9
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 678Please respect copyright.PENANAPLOF8ZwfG4
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 678Please respect copyright.PENANAXlpqy5OVRG
somewhat worrying.678Please respect copyright.PENANAlBJ7E0KkAv
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."678Please respect copyright.PENANA007MQDdzZi
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.678Please respect copyright.PENANAfJ3GuwCDKx
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."678Please respect copyright.PENANAOqH4f6FNdT
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.678Please respect copyright.PENANAIgHYCP7f9A
"You're right. I do."678Please respect copyright.PENANAQg75CXKTBv
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.678Please respect copyright.PENANAKoclFWnEjc
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."678Please respect copyright.PENANASzf2gVune4
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.678Please respect copyright.PENANA2sHncRdnvx
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.678Please respect copyright.PENANAMn009N2xML
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.678Please respect copyright.PENANAYc7Tswwjdj
"You're678Please respect copyright.PENANApZ3HljBlxR
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 678Please respect copyright.PENANAqU2skjuR5s
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 678Please respect copyright.PENANA5OZbyIymig
around here."678Please respect copyright.PENANAyN764DE2Uf
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.678Please respect copyright.PENANAwnE3JBYnwl
"Who said we need to 678Please respect copyright.PENANAwPRe48ACcH
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 678Please respect copyright.PENANAYCHLABabOl
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."678Please respect copyright.PENANAAQxJNjr7F1
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."678Please respect copyright.PENANABh1tKSfGkw
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.678Please respect copyright.PENANA5Tl74ip2QU
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.678Please respect copyright.PENANAAmhHhu9YTx
"Where?" Zoey asked.678Please respect copyright.PENANAjGwnVxKIa7
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"678Please respect copyright.PENANAFD2NZaPCDM
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.678Please respect copyright.PENANAYIfuXe5Gx4
"Wait, a minute!" I 678Please respect copyright.PENANAhnjt1dtQNo
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 678Please respect copyright.PENANA9d8ekAeS9C
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."678Please respect copyright.PENANAytuMqO0gqf
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.678Please respect copyright.PENANAqMKulraLIP
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"678Please respect copyright.PENANAIenC0PKE4z
"Did someone just say 678Please respect copyright.PENANAdZuRV1IfzE
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 678Please respect copyright.PENANAqHniMlkZu5
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"678Please respect copyright.PENANAuK6E5Yb0wQ
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.678Please respect copyright.PENANASRG2LEOVLB
"You're doing that thing678Please respect copyright.PENANAEsV29Qxp3K
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 678Please respect copyright.PENANAbZwC1WcJa7
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."678Please respect copyright.PENANAyXkGHjqfy1
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."678Please respect copyright.PENANAhBRBmoACJh
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."678Please respect copyright.PENANASzeAcMifKh
"Ya, true," said Mike.678Please respect copyright.PENANALd431VrIo0
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"678Please respect copyright.PENANASl8IQ3X8HR
"I'm not going to 678Please respect copyright.PENANAwSvh81pSsR
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and678Please respect copyright.PENANAdEo8CyqL4O
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."678Please respect copyright.PENANA8f1MD2GkBm
"No, I'm scared that 678Please respect copyright.PENANA0FmfybjRUI
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 678Please respect copyright.PENANAcmdTloNDCI
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.678Please respect copyright.PENANAvTBsu48CLe
I looked at Zoey, then 678Please respect copyright.PENANADXtSyurfQ8
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 678Please respect copyright.PENANAGc1Vm6HpKQ
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 678Please respect copyright.PENANAJAtVNAFtD0
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready678Please respect copyright.PENANABb6OgV3oIf
for that bumpy ride again.678Please respect copyright.PENANAuqW7u1hFLC
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.678Please respect copyright.PENANAP8VLcthXJ1
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.678Please respect copyright.PENANAi1Vtp1bKzK
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.678Please respect copyright.PENANAuqIwbQLHL6
Daniel's mouth gaped 678Please respect copyright.PENANAmcizPxzmXI
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 678Please respect copyright.PENANACm8dRzWoW5
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"678Please respect copyright.PENANAYmOMeatwDR
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."678Please respect copyright.PENANAi0CHNRaTHc
"Well, I think we can 678Please respect copyright.PENANAqpvLGw4kUo
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so678Please respect copyright.PENANAplDRZXQk8g
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."678Please respect copyright.PENANAa6hX7OHlQM
"Same here," said Mino.678Please respect copyright.PENANANNLLZbBrLu
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"678Please respect copyright.PENANA4zdzjByMgP
Everyone including me 678Please respect copyright.PENANAdgXx5fXjLd
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 678Please respect copyright.PENANAwCgzR9jaxG
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 678Please respect copyright.PENANAGhSg755fE0
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in678Please respect copyright.PENANAW4yroxLkcD
Times Square.678Please respect copyright.PENANAbInsWvzCLR
"There's an open food 678Please respect copyright.PENANAv6nWsyaPE5
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 678Please respect copyright.PENANAAo4RgaYZIh
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.678Please respect copyright.PENANAg3Y8mH6Ki3
"Gosh, I've now realised678Please respect copyright.PENANAN4Eti0Wxg9
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 678Please respect copyright.PENANAZASLIYZJjr
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.678Please respect copyright.PENANAtJsQCM63Dk
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.678Please respect copyright.PENANAAFVyn4fktJ
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."678Please respect copyright.PENANAmNLDbV6MHe
"No wonder you Toxins 678Please respect copyright.PENANAk7iSbeDivo
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 678Please respect copyright.PENANANw81B4ahms
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."678Please respect copyright.PENANAseopzM67o5
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.678Please respect copyright.PENANAv93mHknKD4
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."678Please respect copyright.PENANA9doN85REbU
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."678Please respect copyright.PENANA1plLXAnFbw
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.678Please respect copyright.PENANAmWvCAfitAQ
Zoey, Christine and the 678Please respect copyright.PENANA2tC95ES5zt
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 678Please respect copyright.PENANANe2qMMraWn
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 678Please respect copyright.PENANA3DjbZyYF00
going.678Please respect copyright.PENANAL8x5gt1Iyf
"That's insulting," said Jennie.678Please respect copyright.PENANAvyUUi4E0G0
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.678Please respect copyright.PENANA52X5S3ansN
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."678Please respect copyright.PENANAOY2zXMkHqL
I burst out laughing 678Please respect copyright.PENANAujCTeZtvDD
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 678Please respect copyright.PENANA9aueKL2Ik8
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 678Please respect copyright.PENANAUnB3fOEGNV
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 678Please respect copyright.PENANAGn88TwbY4w
other floors because that would surly be something.678Please respect copyright.PENANA3xw88VA8uJ
"Good one, TOP," said 678Please respect copyright.PENANA16DhYN4vuK
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 678Please respect copyright.PENANAEIZka7Ej31
have thought of that in a million years."678Please respect copyright.PENANAeYQD2qk8EF
Everyone continued to 678Please respect copyright.PENANAtGqMZGIuzb
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 678Please respect copyright.PENANADS0rWF0HHH
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 678Please respect copyright.PENANALKQdoSgl1H
how annoyed she was.678Please respect copyright.PENANAxkXZxUu2Nb
"I can't believe you 678Please respect copyright.PENANAf14tctBMph
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 678Please respect copyright.PENANABTzUMY4dny
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."678Please respect copyright.PENANAoEf47AdmBC
"Don't worry, Zoey," 678Please respect copyright.PENANAE8M9t14wiS
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a678Please respect copyright.PENANAgcm2KtforT
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."678Please respect copyright.PENANAmhTMGsS1cD
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."678Please respect copyright.PENANA5W8DKoJ379
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."678Please respect copyright.PENANAseoafgz2T9
"I'll sting him so bad, 678Please respect copyright.PENANAyD4TjSM8Ki
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at678Please respect copyright.PENANAkBdO8m7BeR
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.678Please respect copyright.PENANAUGQHZ2Mv3P
"Oh, look, a stage," 678Please respect copyright.PENANAQDLQYZSWdb
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from678Please respect copyright.PENANAtuSZTlCSIn
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.678Please respect copyright.PENANAAk7CkegwVL
In the direction Daniel 678Please respect copyright.PENANALwVYLOFQpI
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 678Please respect copyright.PENANAmPkOrGUpGz
there and get up on it. We all followed him.678Please respect copyright.PENANAbZENRW09vp
"I've missed being on 678Please respect copyright.PENANA4vVsrQNSe9
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 678Please respect copyright.PENANAkBskt1UBYF
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.678Please respect copyright.PENANAGloaq9LrHQ
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.678Please respect copyright.PENANAWOk5nBYYDi
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.678Please respect copyright.PENANAuMk6MfPeeO
"We're just having fun,"678Please respect copyright.PENANAbIiHqvVZkX
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.678Please respect copyright.PENANAbViNhyu99j
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 678Please respect copyright.PENANAtoilm1uTbX
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 678Please respect copyright.PENANA3tg9W2DFUJ
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 678Please respect copyright.PENANAu5iNDUpOUw
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.678Please respect copyright.PENANAEDnwZGvplb
The rest of us down the 678Please respect copyright.PENANAUxT8ssxa0Q
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 678Please respect copyright.PENANAJHEqR1gQ5l
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 678Please respect copyright.PENANAX2eu3XWUfr
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 678Please respect copyright.PENANASDWPJQaEBl
side of him was a shocker.678Please respect copyright.PENANAk2OvIptGod
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."678Please respect copyright.PENANAVu19vY79T5
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.678Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ym5rQJtEk
"Mum would be so proud,"678Please respect copyright.PENANAL8aYxDa270
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 678Please respect copyright.PENANAUmz447VeVV
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."678Please respect copyright.PENANAsorrY7hB0p
"Haha, very funny," said678Please respect copyright.PENANAGJ4e9pMSG2
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 678Please respect copyright.PENANAYQ7hwroxd6
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"678Please respect copyright.PENANAHdkQ2bYYMm
I looked at Mike and he 678Please respect copyright.PENANAhg58ixDFtt
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 678Please respect copyright.PENANAeJQVUJdzg3
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 678Please respect copyright.PENANAsbKc82JlNr
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."678Please respect copyright.PENANA9NTZeOKi5x
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."678Please respect copyright.PENANA0rel30vBnv
"I'm still not going to 678Please respect copyright.PENANAAKcs4GV2UQ
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 678Please respect copyright.PENANAbSM1eW9bIx
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."678Please respect copyright.PENANAWAb7eAAF5Q
"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.678Please respect copyright.PENANAVWRNZMjvI5
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.678Please respect copyright.PENANAhKqJLEfpjd
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.678Please respect copyright.PENANA4tC8q4CumB
"No," she said still not678Please respect copyright.PENANAR7Cv3ni4VR
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 678Please respect copyright.PENANAJv5XeUCxbS
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."678Please respect copyright.PENANAzWKQ2kIZbY
Everyone turned to look 678Please respect copyright.PENANAUScHk8AsSa
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 678Please respect copyright.PENANAd6HuxcgC90
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 678Please respect copyright.PENANA763SWErlaO
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 678Please respect copyright.PENANAJTJ2EkwUp5
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger678Please respect copyright.PENANAiUJIDbJdpb
was to sweet talk her somehow.678Please respect copyright.PENANAMHZZqQYoTS
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."678Please respect copyright.PENANAvGSn3vzLyY
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.678Please respect copyright.PENANAIDD9iFu4UN
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.678Please respect copyright.PENANAar9ydJypmL
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"678Please respect copyright.PENANAugpgasCUOW
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.678Please respect copyright.PENANA5N3gElE78e
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."678Please respect copyright.PENANAnIXP0bzxLv
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.678Please respect copyright.PENANAyxRLbdqvrJ
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.678Please respect copyright.PENANA0EbtyGxHhE
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.678Please respect copyright.PENANAdYXR1enZCY
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.678Please respect copyright.PENANAcxiKMx4Rp4
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.678Please respect copyright.PENANAewnTpZLCfh
I snapped my fingers 678Please respect copyright.PENANAcb17zSlWnN
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 678Please respect copyright.PENANAa59GVLZ37l
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.678Please respect copyright.PENANAVrQBWWXFfD
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 678Please respect copyright.PENANAuIm7Ew8hXz
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.678Please respect copyright.PENANAEBgza8NfLz
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 678Please respect copyright.PENANAdiDW87Vza6
Lisa: You're sweet like 678Please respect copyright.PENANAc5hHbFfee3
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]678Please respect copyright.PENANALSj5S0Ekm2
Jennie: You're sweet like 678Please respect copyright.PENANAE7jiopbluM
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 678Please respect copyright.PENANAouKAcJ7bbu
We all ended up giving a678Please respect copyright.PENANA86wYJSZ663
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 678Please respect copyright.PENANAFhC6CWyNaI
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 678Please respect copyright.PENANAO3VbrqT6Du
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 678Please respect copyright.PENANAdqDuHU2kCP
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 678Please respect copyright.PENANAepEATtMADo
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.678Please respect copyright.PENANAwjGhYoV8dH
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.678Please respect copyright.PENANAuPQGAtpRJT
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.678Please respect copyright.PENANASvzlGH4uxD
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.678Please respect copyright.PENANA1rjMAJKqk8
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.678Please respect copyright.PENANAnG1XBw1FkW
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.678Please respect copyright.PENANAdYaE8btsL8
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.678Please respect copyright.PENANAuJyEusXTTm
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.678Please respect copyright.PENANAsqCNMw8ubX
Im a fan all day.678Please respect copyright.PENANAn9Ml6AITxn
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.678Please respect copyright.PENANALOoGYZAWE8
My manage behavior; Im into your major.678Please respect copyright.PENANAi1Sv9jmB8o
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.678Please respect copyright.PENANAb4s11FWDvr
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:678Please respect copyright.PENANAiAQ30ihJAS
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.678Please respect copyright.PENANALfjtD5XmWx
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.678Please respect copyright.PENANAx0hoClyRQ3
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.678Please respect copyright.PENANAh189Sk9qxx
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 678Please respect copyright.PENANAY7KEnsyoWU
The three couples on 678Please respect copyright.PENANA6EY3cCPyE8
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And678Please respect copyright.PENANAVO71FJghdS
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 678Please respect copyright.PENANAai91qNsTBR
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 678Please respect copyright.PENANAiMOAxJSwA3
three couples surrounding me in a circle.678Please respect copyright.PENANAwXhwAVNvq5
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]678Please respect copyright.PENANAlNhFVuvhIA
This candy got you sprung [x2]678Please respect copyright.PENANAyr5z90vji4
So call me your sugar [x2]678Please respect copyright.PENANA6tNILVhhed
You love you some [x2]678Please respect copyright.PENANAnuZ5nd333F

All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 678Please respect copyright.PENANA9CqzQvc3En
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]678Please respect copyright.PENANABnjffLlirv
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di678Please respect copyright.PENANAQWW2NBbMRb
Sugar678Please respect copyright.PENANAYTcgo65x9c
Seunghoon came up on 678Please respect copyright.PENANAtcRJRI6Gj3
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 678Please respect copyright.PENANAzCVypWZ04C
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.678Please respect copyright.PENANAuxjjWGocLt
Down stage, Seungyoon 678Please respect copyright.PENANAPBbhvCGntl
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a678Please respect copyright.PENANAcDDcyrb2Nm
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 678Please respect copyright.PENANAeSW2u5lOwh
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 678Please respect copyright.PENANA2juGDDg6t6
all did that simultaneously was awesome.678Please respect copyright.PENANAFeHynkyjCH
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.678Please respect copyright.PENANAKU22ttRC31
All: My lips like sugar (x2)678Please respect copyright.PENANAXJUkgDrx5S
This candy got you sprung (x2)678Please respect copyright.PENANAVUQiK6gFRM
So call me your sugar (x2)678Please respect copyright.PENANAXZSeGYM2Gl
You love you some (x2)678Please respect copyright.PENANAoEiMNY4MJJ
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x3)678Please respect copyright.PENANAItDDayJV9s
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 678Please respect copyright.PENANAdXeZqtqZpQ
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di678Please respect copyright.PENANAW0vnPDGfDh
Sugar 678Please respect copyright.PENANARw9fj7D3GQ
I678Please respect copyright.PENANAaJd0UqqM1F
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 678Please respect copyright.PENANAqaF2MkAdq8
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 678Please respect copyright.PENANAFHeCpdfj2e
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 678Please respect copyright.PENANAoI42ohz5DL
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 678Please respect copyright.PENANAlVLpbUUbyD
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.678Please respect copyright.PENANAfL1Zc830ax
Onlookers678Please respect copyright.PENANAEPqOIpjMq8
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 678Please respect copyright.PENANAtyK8op2oBG
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 678Please respect copyright.PENANAK7lORiTDli
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.678Please respect copyright.PENANAgT8Qw33blb
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.678Please respect copyright.PENANAmqmszaQ4CI
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.678Please respect copyright.PENANA6Nh3JRCFdQ
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.678Please respect copyright.PENANAjhV4kJTekX
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.678Please respect copyright.PENANAg8YiB44Is9
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.678Please respect copyright.PENANA7c1ozfXkJr
"Ya, we really should," I answered.678Please respect copyright.PENANA1imYOI4Izo
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.678Please respect copyright.PENANA0WS6qhHztn
"Take a bow," I said.678Please respect copyright.PENANAHcpTVHmzix
Zoey who stood next to 678Please respect copyright.PENANASFS45Rq1TS
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 678Please respect copyright.PENANAYj180wgfbs
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took678Please respect copyright.PENANAQWJ75xVa7i
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down678Please respect copyright.PENANAJZQpnw5eKO
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 678Please respect copyright.PENANA033ZphlCai
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.678Please respect copyright.PENANAz2uLTLhBwv
"Well, this just got 678Please respect copyright.PENANAjRUSyChOR5
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 678Please respect copyright.PENANA3yqiVrXFO7
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.678Please respect copyright.PENANA6zdwxYijfW
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."678Please respect copyright.PENANAtL9d8RkXjL
The way Mike said it 678Please respect copyright.PENANAkZnok0SBL5
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 678Please respect copyright.PENANAITmzQHDN8f
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 678Please respect copyright.PENANAj7AfYr4w7t
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.678Please respect copyright.PENANAUoAHzRlGwg
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.678Please respect copyright.PENANA1tIkmFEp5E
When I got down from the678Please respect copyright.PENANAUfFQJRdaxs
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 678Please respect copyright.PENANAI6tvwAzP43
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in678Please respect copyright.PENANA1H5zr6gCFY
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I678Please respect copyright.PENANAXjKh1ftmEn
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.678Please respect copyright.PENANAoHxoa2THXf
"Well, you guys sure 678Please respect copyright.PENANAbyzEM70GTy
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 678Please respect copyright.PENANAEUgsa9XO6z
had to warn the security before I could even get here."678Please respect copyright.PENANAkwsiDBkVIx
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.678Please respect copyright.PENANAaVB3A0gVxW
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't678Please respect copyright.PENANAz5GKEsJhcZ
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 678Please respect copyright.PENANAahTH0eNV44
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"678Please respect copyright.PENANAVEqIwUX8VV
"We just missed you, 678Please respect copyright.PENANAhX5exEcsKg
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually678Please respect copyright.PENANADXiOwEIAd8
with us but these past days you haven't."678Please respect copyright.PENANA3iADCownxI
"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."678Please respect copyright.PENANAETfy2Tlq9h
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.678Please respect copyright.PENANAY1UCGShan6
"He would've called by 678Please respect copyright.PENANAHnLEaKo24P
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 678Please respect copyright.PENANAlP33eItmyL
no calls from the grim reapers yet."678Please respect copyright.PENANA5WfPYbm4Jx
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.678Please respect copyright.PENANAywtwtIdLBc
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"678Please respect copyright.PENANAJDAFbcSMWD
Immediately Lee focused 678Please respect copyright.PENANAe99ExpOSW8
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone678Please respect copyright.PENANA3yG6vuj1lD
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 678Please respect copyright.PENANAREh1TyiJb7
couldn't blame them.678Please respect copyright.PENANAg8olNQSSZ6
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.678Please respect copyright.PENANAE1Dm6InXnu
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.678Please respect copyright.PENANANxEa9zaMJe
"How678Please respect copyright.PENANAPBGytndWbw
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked678Please respect copyright.PENANAtwqxP4vOH3
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into678Please respect copyright.PENANAKsdsFRhvxL
your own dance hall."678Please respect copyright.PENANA1EG6FxW9Ms
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."678Please respect copyright.PENANAj2TU06eRd9
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"678Please respect copyright.PENANABl90npaIxJ
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.678Please respect copyright.PENANAW7JtfXTeUr
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....678Please respect copyright.PENANAewgF46RT7o
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.678Please respect copyright.PENANAmuQHoiUNIk
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.678Please respect copyright.PENANAnaMBKtoSIa
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.678Please respect copyright.PENANA71zZfBQCeH
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."678Please respect copyright.PENANABqqFeYlgHY
"No,678Please respect copyright.PENANAIlGnwp8E0i
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 678Please respect copyright.PENANAwu3nHQSoyr
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell678Please respect copyright.PENANAaVVYXfFwKk
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"678Please respect copyright.PENANAMA1u4lxdEW
"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.678Please respect copyright.PENANAw2MvLqADec
"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?"678Please respect copyright.PENANAN3gqaMrZAu
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.678Please respect copyright.PENANACe1U83ZtCC
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.678Please respect copyright.PENANA0eND2dR4YA
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.678Please respect copyright.PENANANPt8NbrVlP
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.678Please respect copyright.PENANAbt1GeeQEsY
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.678Please respect copyright.PENANAm8uqqnRS5l
I678Please respect copyright.PENANAzG3i10KpgP
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 678Please respect copyright.PENANAcSSf6g9tV2
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 678Please respect copyright.PENANAEHkx7Ya3iN
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it678Please respect copyright.PENANAYPFpUuIyDu
was a lot to take in.678Please respect copyright.PENANAsOhwZJheJG
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."678Please respect copyright.PENANAgfU579FtPE
"That's678Please respect copyright.PENANAt1ZhW3BrdQ
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 678Please respect copyright.PENANAV3tnNGUS64
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 678Please respect copyright.PENANAzwX2fLC7av
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 678Please respect copyright.PENANAhy3NhOkpaA
still find out anyway."678Please respect copyright.PENANADskikQRVVM
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."678Please respect copyright.PENANA8zn3NQr6rF
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.678Please respect copyright.PENANA6xhtty5Ihz
Everyone678Please respect copyright.PENANA86eLkgcJEt
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 678Please respect copyright.PENANAAm0eANVW4C
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 678Please respect copyright.PENANAXIU21Tnhwj
somehow the anxiety was killing me.678Please respect copyright.PENANAeYmDdcZDrf
After678Please respect copyright.PENANAcwHczMdl3Z
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan678Please respect copyright.PENANAPFBuBKpgSv
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the678Please respect copyright.PENANAaai7ifIeOB
food court when Lee asked:678Please respect copyright.PENANAhJJfJRmREy
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"678Please respect copyright.PENANAEGSVgWMZQw
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.678Please respect copyright.PENANAvUYm7uykO2
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.678Please respect copyright.PENANA6w28C3wM0y
"You678Please respect copyright.PENANAyKH7i9rswX
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 678Please respect copyright.PENANA3cFnt0zPYF
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 678Please respect copyright.PENANAPTf2PTOkvS
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."678Please respect copyright.PENANA6aXlmYTUJC
"I678Please respect copyright.PENANAb8cUtotHwz
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 678Please respect copyright.PENANAhFOfmPMxMW
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 678Please respect copyright.PENANATK4PiFnmE3
okay."678Please respect copyright.PENANAAka1fqwcSI
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.678Please respect copyright.PENANAIofRrfdcT3
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."678Please respect copyright.PENANA9jqIIrWO1l
"You678Please respect copyright.PENANAf8XzuFohxF
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 678Please respect copyright.PENANAXyOzokFLkk
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 678Please respect copyright.PENANAiFcr265Ice
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 678Please respect copyright.PENANAV2Cocu5s7R
don't know up to now."678Please respect copyright.PENANAV5YMHNXcSR
"BTW678Please respect copyright.PENANALuCuvOqUPN
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I678Please respect copyright.PENANAjf95h6PRYc
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 678Please respect copyright.PENANAcNlzFsZ2cd
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 678Please respect copyright.PENANAcL2BUFM8yC
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."678Please respect copyright.PENANAkOyWdIdcBP
"I678Please respect copyright.PENANAe3aW1zHWbZ
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 678Please respect copyright.PENANAAlzYwu1hvU
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 678Please respect copyright.PENANAFzllrtx8Bb
normal human perspective."678Please respect copyright.PENANAvG2znIAz9T
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."678Please respect copyright.PENANA8HGbzDNfDA
"I think she is," said TOP.678Please respect copyright.PENANAvYf6GUW5G3
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.678Please respect copyright.PENANAXWyMetTwvM
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.678Please respect copyright.PENANAYmSCzkDq3m
Zoey678Please respect copyright.PENANAA0wb6JoQ2K
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 678Please respect copyright.PENANAMt6efXLEb9
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.678Please respect copyright.PENANA8DVeaPx9mI
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"678Please respect copyright.PENANA4JiByoCQKq
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.678Please respect copyright.PENANA6UOTc3Tywp
Before678Please respect copyright.PENANA2AVGWnbMDi
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she678Please respect copyright.PENANAh7VqNC7JvZ
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 678Please respect copyright.PENANAT7NNFJ5REE
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.678Please respect copyright.PENANAqA7F6XoIEr
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.678Please respect copyright.PENANAB12f6DunUs
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.678Please respect copyright.PENANAD2wcZPgSzv
The678Please respect copyright.PENANAoGCOnaBasm
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 678Please respect copyright.PENANAIUG2e8QJsw
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 678Please respect copyright.PENANASQVupbQfck
would never stop fighting no matter what.678Please respect copyright.PENANAN9AJ3SV8oy
"I678Please respect copyright.PENANA3hQgB688Om
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a678Please respect copyright.PENANA7n2WKUC3hk
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 678Please respect copyright.PENANAJtkjDBYB2b
it's full of drama too."678Please respect copyright.PENANAWodRJvUvwM
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.678Please respect copyright.PENANAIUaIqJBxdZ
"Do678Please respect copyright.PENANA3fmSecHyYS
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 678Please respect copyright.PENANAGApHCCUzDz
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 678Please respect copyright.PENANAHZQ7FAEvGN
court.678Please respect copyright.PENANATSiFZnI82W
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."678Please respect copyright.PENANAhHKKg50Hkf
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."678Please respect copyright.PENANArUOHoh8Qrx
"I hope so too," said Christine.678Please respect copyright.PENANAP0sqSJOBZe
"Come678Please respect copyright.PENANAcArFdwT4zP
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 678Please respect copyright.PENANAOl3TXQ4Rgb
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."678Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8d5We7S9I
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.678Please respect copyright.PENANAFwAmdXf0hN
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.678Please respect copyright.PENANArastNrLTYi
As678Please respect copyright.PENANAOr1XapoBMJ
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning678Please respect copyright.PENANAPOsHDIJ4Kw
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 678Please respect copyright.PENANASC9U2cQRC6
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 678Please respect copyright.PENANAhqNTwRyZgy
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 678Please respect copyright.PENANAq00rXRYihs
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.678Please respect copyright.PENANAsJJYexbGkh
I678Please respect copyright.PENANAD4V6liAKMn
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 678Please respect copyright.PENANABStm9UIJ9S
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might678Please respect copyright.PENANAI12nKkR8lA
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 678Please respect copyright.PENANAiD16HpkmQ7
of the blue may arise.678Please respect copyright.PENANAMM7txZXcNd
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
