Hanging out at Times 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qdIHDJaWl
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zgbw6OIve
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HBIa7VD5k
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C4TimJXcp
But that didn't matter. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIVjm9PYxG
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSpr1EBnQT
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6uLxg75On
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBvmvduFAS
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFkBPFV15A
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUM3kN1UXY
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXU6xZvE4j
actually played around with the adorable kids.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFcMfpfIlW
There were plenty of 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTySFYFlFXP
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEfkzIq6Tj
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSCbloPwNd
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKedjWX8xMJ
fans too.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmv7rnZLte
The time we were done 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXatKPEqaaV
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8K1gMsTdj
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB9k5CRAlM
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvUdfSuSTb
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2Exqt0K3z
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrxP6FceCx
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuWMTr1lNQ
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK2msC0IRl
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2lYzsPPfp
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESDVg7hqFh
previous day, of course.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYAjfVj4Cr
As much as the managers 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvptSaOLiEs
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwdJt95ZoP
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZMZkAoqsA
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn3t89524q
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMXJZ3ZY5o
Right now, this very 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA5sxgG3EG
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf1JKTSdPG
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHBmflxQAI
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfJKqe0D3x
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sofUonFfG
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRg6ED4JUE
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbepA7oUhAm
and I just couldn't take it.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9KMIrPmqy
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapoGUuVgum
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasJB27XxaS
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd5N4OrTmz
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQqaFCYoeF
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrwpFG9DkX
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhrPRVtOU8
"I thought you said your plan would work."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIflC2AetVr
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHNcCzJxPl
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjU1iGZLwa
I felt like slapping my 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNi0N8peK9
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC00cybwOo
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6VuvlfT5t
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7iqk7LDtD
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYtrJLThme
off.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwmQ8NP372
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GblYl5CmH
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0khh8snEv
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53XmeGfYyB
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaBKxK8uRv
I shrugged. She read my 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey5mofAEl4
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKCKx9dup3
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4M41ZweKD
me the whole time."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CitNswN82
I sat down on my bed as 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJNQVJotRH
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O7tMLK7Ms
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZrVMYUEvd
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbSrcmgd8J
"Gosh, you really should1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UdHKt1BLz
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJYJjakCIo
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKWVEZsbSv
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ClHKqbL02
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1mGB7SOyJ
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTUQhZf6e7
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgWsC9UCSt
"Mike is annoying 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyElpdr6XgT
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwHOB1WDK3
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs6kk5XWBH
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aValunh6U
"You're right. I should burn him instead."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRh1SHaXwr
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo1VdPCjvw
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmuEU8k6td
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6lipY7VJN
"Sorry, but just so you 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgiNZSQnYZ
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTctNIcOEq9
that pic of you and him together."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QNKb5XUn3
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4DfQnT67k
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCSF7fMRTM
I blushed and at the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCHv1z6tNP
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAYFjLSBr0
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYByKLtvF8s
other hidden agenda.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf0Y8PBDFD
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYfFAS14he
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM83ptGDiNN
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Sg4uikn4T
I sighed in surrender. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0Ihy6l7Xu
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNw8VXkUsh
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BswUHcP30
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEUvTcj1u2
Zoey shook her head. "You really surprise me how much you aren't really a fan of social media when most of our peers are."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9UbB0w1kv
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXhNHU7v5i
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3RpsekhJi
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9lyLYzRaK
Zoey had an excited look1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPIA8edE3X
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7wFbQCXJG
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j95uvKFpK
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLBtmysvlb
clearly show all over her face.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf7wSYBHDJ
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zTplLfOYE
I shook my head. "And?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFPS2bqJyv
Zoey folded her arms, 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7HlU717mm
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOGaOvh5MH
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO64uSpfXn
"Hold that thought. This1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXCGEeD1pP
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXumNLqS1f
after Seunghoon posted that picture."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQS0gL8npq
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt1Tzl8QoK
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP0bvH9Jl5
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjALztbEwc
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV2cWFyz9M
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVLKQ3MLrA
"Well, he hid in our closet."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq7LhUgUpw
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YnmywKJ37
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39A71kdDHA
"Ya, why?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy1wCJtDsx
"Looks like we just 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdTCGBtMI6
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC800VXa2D
whom we consider perfect as our bias."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XPKRaiqji
Zoey thought for a moment over what I said as she looked at the floor and then back at me. "Mmmm, I guess you're right."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvskUZkuWZU
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx7juSwGc6
"What do you mean? You 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeffxgtbKIG
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKmf7Ep9Wb
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvujTFIK1vd
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqQ7hFju5r
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L14DifhHr
"Not really. But I can say he was. Just a little. If he was a full time stalker, he would've been doing so everyday."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bw8qpy9KG
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNZQKMUBf5
"I wanted to but I kept 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxffngikyb
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxdrK95rbO
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XGHl1C7Oy
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAij0JfeytN
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywSvU2kucx
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIMlZ0Gvzt
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDzb1MDBSQ
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyaCmUnyVz
I quickly stood up and 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CSQ01Mftr
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtfEiJOvEF
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFJLJnejKF
her back.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCG5K6ervS
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9uPZjSY2O
"Zoey, you're going to 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSlk74xqG9
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMlLCcFmZX
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0gy4ARDrC
own hair pink in the next ten years."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbYX5Lbc0W
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1Iil84Uxz
"You're lying."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvqx52M6Bn
"I'm telling the truth!"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeshKZjg0YQ
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclxyWz9IqY
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPk1bUcehQ
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJo7OQsy2o
"I can't tell you that."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk0wCAjl7z
"Why?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqqMPXMCSg
"Because it's 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytDwSi6WqK
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDTS2ZY68v
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGCpiRXMAz
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12UHhqW0rd
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzZxVxAblS
"Yes, I was," I said as I let go of Zoey's hair and Zoey blew out a sigh of relief. "Turns out, I'm not that good at it at all."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1eeuVm8kL
"No, you aren't," said Zoey as she massaged her scalp from where I had pulled her hair and she looked at me with a frown.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ6ghcBRGo
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ18hzvvrcO
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY5oxTySbU
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQumiqgBqr
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW4Ka232Du
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrirKACMBp
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAvquGmWuk
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KseM2zbwu
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHpMhpPgLx
I playfully rolled my 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvodLLf0SZ
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCFS9ElGu6
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbFlQenYip
also looked worried.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfeNDoi6HJ
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujJkSC06Zi
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGGtZVVU8j
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTedQ7RbMf
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdSMA2Nc16
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2022NrIzCQ
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B77oGgMrY
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmOisKNU0Q
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBbWiuPojO
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhILJc9Rqa
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbz0xm5jY0
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDUkZRwB7G
"Okay, first of all," 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGKofwL0aa
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLnVVtb9Jj
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQih4svt77q
he wasn't mad at you."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvMvTSvrUx
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2ca5j9bto
"That, he couldn't say."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6Y5r2zigl
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuAc4g8pF4
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NvMKYc1Pq
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wOwOt7Cfl
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj1OnRkdLq
Christine pressed the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkC28hsoUC
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzqDOkL3vF
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoqMXiLmwh
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycMaLmeaOG
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2JHvbIBlr
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5gDqijeV4
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKMAyRNCPf
We got to YG right on 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdvwIoemAf
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXJuwXiEH0
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi2QRgg7a1
arrived a few seconds earlier.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1yEKvV6fz
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5jwMo9eOW
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIL5bpmNGx
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvfmnZ45G2
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixbwfaS4qv
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxewzeXQE1
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjTd1UGk10
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLBEWe3rcH
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70SOYLp0Gg
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfwa0PSBlw
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyh53P9iR5
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTLHGlzWHj
"There will be no such 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j75EafH9W
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyuWDyFR30
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ27WduJ6A
"And you're making it 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsgsNfHbkb
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswNiga3RXL
pouted his lip and scratched his head.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCePNYGnITg
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMM7sQpfQf
"Trust me, you don't 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SLqYyjbc3
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouacZ89aGP
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOUsYVl9mq
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGdFMlbfoy
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXWGnSfpQO
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC31O5kJ3z
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5BMIjp8iN
"Look, whether they are 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTATxYjMkW
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3V7AHtl9U
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiZGL5Gx8G
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWBcptuVDR
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhArXb85gmz
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbsIESBEra
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO2k1BvCz3
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4IESJ5Ibp
I gave Lee a sad smile 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5KgqWp6n3
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU8G8eVAbe
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBBciw56Gh
your life. Like suicide.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRR4SozQBC
We started our way 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZT5gIfk2W
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZebD8AzmL
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJduQkyn7jv
and my jean trousers. Nothing.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf0Za0AJVC
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ7eTvsjpy
I quickly ran out of the1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79K4dp5kPf
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShqYN965A2
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrPfDGcobN
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStI6Xz13wK
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxOrYpnX5W
check for it inside.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqGMbw6TTB
When I got to the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP4yaLtgXp
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg3OUwNGno
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI21YnZZuQv
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSXE6CQzhu
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoqbwxTtmJ
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXEaEhvRiK
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jsmUfjEET
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP7fEKi2UH
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprSZnWnOwY
"Seriously, I can sue 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvVnxPVVzY
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzIA6mGLNp
fast. I never even heard him coming.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzr0I816DW
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yb6Tfbofr
"You're not my bodyguard1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGsa7fcP7E
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFFVwTY8EC
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfRwt8olUy
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66FWB7VsVj
I blushed. "You know about that?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP5U0RoqkD
"Everyone knows you have1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeCgi8P0gL
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12568xIXb6
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcOV2zVRNh
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp9VrJ5Tyv
"Looks like I did the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3tfNg0klZ
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6kOn0loBM
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S6DAXerQW
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2JiQJg4Qj
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoSUhsOQ8t
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ310gsjk04L
"And because you're a 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZSKeyasT3
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FAkCIyZkf
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF0RmVUty4
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqNTWpPqb7
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO1g3Fr3vM
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEJBxWXKaU
"Can you at least tell 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZhbogbiiL
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nT7VkVSmz
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF1ijQSdAZ
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnMLkp7rhI
"What dramatic effect?" 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy3xm89BtT
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq9squTz8W
came closer. I took a warning step back.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49LWkajoAd
"If you hadn't followed 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih8ZI4MPfv
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVuEF0pnVm
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFXmp8lHhy
room."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT16YSIN6w
"What surprise?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fdeX4xZtF
The elevator stopped and1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CL8aGTq2i
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnFoAMedSb
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhF410c98j
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr9lOBHZty
Seunghoon and I stepped out.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7HnAeaJvQ
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8zDCr4oxy
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ127CaVgWqa
"I already have a guess," I said.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOex5SosLJe
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgh5L8nD0v
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yYKk0aPg0
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt444dgx8k
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9YSsLxANj
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI786JolK0i
When we reached the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQqk2a7Dtp
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8QM2I5OIy
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaResNpkKSS
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ko8GAeXik
In the conference room 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYpDM7beg4
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M1U3rHXMi
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rk9ts7vr7
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXHbb5B3Us
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrin25ulXY
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QOZQFJUZv
though I did my best not to show it.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIRbw95gcQ
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J6rJ4ojCW
I looked to the opposite1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GpQK57oOg
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgubcNdkNdK
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwYa0ZAeWe
turned their backs to us facing the wall.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG574ruvWu
"You don't have to act all high and mighty, you know?" I said to the person facing the wall. "I know it's you, GD."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s3gvO7Lto
G-Dragon quickly turned 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDxKU0tw1j
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4fcEslUoq
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpPEbYNK5o
"Hi, Sam," said G-Dragon as he leaned his elbows on the table and his hands under his chin. "How did you know it was me?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IoHAUxvzo
"The message you sent me wasn't too hard to figure out that you would be here," I answered as I held up my phone.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc0zi4wQtk
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEproEFPAa
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmE7uxl03t
"Wait," said Lisa who 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWFqVFmzlk
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpW5StDS2Y
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQINbBNG8Q
"It felt simple and 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil9lsHpMrX
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE2OxQtuyZ
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9JsguUpKK
with G-Dragon today."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXaopQhrUK
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW5p29I1u3
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOQcLAivOA
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f0a48e5T8
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWbijil799
"Ya, I know I'm a 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5a9ipf2iJ
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CsUL6qssK
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4krtr1fMd2
"If you mean us getting 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8M7KptvGq
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d5wbY2Rw6
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC69s9y0Xel
by coincidence."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWULjFlduI2
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFACB4zGkU
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2tRf3qzSP
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV8yGJR4Ut
The rest of the BTW crew1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlzfZk3v8p
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjApFb2tIo
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzbjKDnUXj
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0usyHLjoTx
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17zNzWk0Z9
"Hold up," said Zoey who1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE8Bka5Z5i
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vhB4rSi6U
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD5tXWJhgL
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGgsxs17No
"Told you we'll 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs0JsZriYU
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddwHGBZpSB
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX7bfaYAEo
"But is he going to do 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nkoZGBh8a
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0AFaanrFj
didn't really meet by coincidence."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgb9JZQYR4
There was silence in the1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoYdI8qzV0
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPbEOjvsW3
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn8NCiSwOw
planning to do.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWlfqQFOsr
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTxE32mmW2
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DYxc0wHj8
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnIZfKFaWi
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8GGHYbZg3
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6ZjjQhihu
"And also because he's 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4TKzEAhrq
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfCcSK7WlC
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8YaPxXygG
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti2SrE6cHX
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPwdtspYMo
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2tWAsiHpo
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvH527pqJc
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqvxv2Xu5G
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZZADuPsrC
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WP1ITZNXp
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwG2zuyJvy
G-Dragon smiled. He had 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58P07kwGX2
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ316fntNW
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nhKDOV8a1
deal with G-Dragon instead.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJSYbZQ4sB
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0jIyCIJaL
"What do you want?" I asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcY6iUP1NW
G-Dragon looked at me as1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxef9T7dWic
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI9DXdnl7i
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxszOrN3zYx
came to any conclusions.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPJOqYkSVX
"To make things clear 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yCXJbeJ4g
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWxLtzMpxe
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47URzawbYe
thinking about doing the same thing."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ426hFeWg4X
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMH4YhLf8H
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKHDBqWjtw
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT5rT9AQMh
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmqkzu2pfu
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2EebrwyEU
"That's the problem," said G-Dragon. "You guys aren't going to let it slide and this why I came here with a deal."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa1hvHnmwD
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6ieV4Szcg
"All's fair in love and 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnd9x8O1Wm
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLzqwbkoP0
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXHNmg7IZG
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH83g6Sh2cD
"Come on," Christine 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWlDuPzAld
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VDa4X4ZDo
won't be here for long and you know it."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE79tK1KIZ
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH2bXbBEC9
"BTW is nothing but a 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd94qiwSLA
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNEbAeU7yS
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpymUpFBIs1
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjsjN98iRu
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSmiKjvd8f
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLE5iZmoHA
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Q2s8CUdE
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHzsJtmp5t
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo63eVjlaPu
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflDwbPWBbv
"See, there's a lots of things BTW can do though it might only be for a short while," I said as I smirked looking at G-Dragon.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbSBDHelqn
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mbyuQR43H
Upon saying that, the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx26lS9YzYt
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nhqqB7ErL
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3HkjS3t5h
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFXdXMKQp5
seated stood up.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFwXspMrFz
I gulped. I hope the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqlGo2Sn4g
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUT1C2GDpb
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM6tr0Q8Vx
The two managers had 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoZRLsd2Ct
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCDQpYn35Z
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0bBmpR8Dc
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjMeMSlzOr
is wrong.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGfKtgzN8b
"Good that you're all 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGC6PbVgr1
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBzF3gkvpa
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPrXkoDOM0
I have always hated it 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6UpRrPfPa
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa46HWIHVBW
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25mSWm82f9
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn9gACa4Pg
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdT9aFE3AO
their seats.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuce5dIPeDC
The two managers and Lee1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVnrsLoHYP
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHNC6oEtx1
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5ilGwntOj
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ74TEKMnK
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5uzso4Oy3
was.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHX4DgLdiy
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z2f4680T0
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmHrY1yRQC
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuxcdcgq3e
Zoey sighed loudly in 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47oGQGCPdW
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5wpG1kCLK
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuqqcgfWUe
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjlIOpX8by
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnaQageMsb
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIF7yrqj9n
The two managers 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKUxx3ZqA4
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLHZhFHJBx
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObhWwI1LcH
That was so not cool.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHCUkQpmvh
"You never cease to amaze me, Zoey," said Yang Hyun-suk. "And you're right. This BTW thing was nothing but a one time thing."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYJRVmGs6f
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeeSFcY3oW
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AkUa6LFJ1
My ears perked up when 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDvYhWRq91
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XB12bLlxd
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA7A6a7Ifs
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJv3bSTitE
"We heard you outside 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChF4AgVrPd
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0ClhRiV23
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAU9Za37bS
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr9X8h68wX
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vYDTLca0v
"Yes, Sam. For real," 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OCw6o9CnL
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfLAKTYM1N
through further scrutiny about this decision."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h92FDkvwp
I smiled. Even if they 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKXFWwgMBk
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo99tPZ7mcQ
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvH5kJnygu
There was an exciting 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUM6pkCyQo
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CPuMjn300
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNznT2wkpj7
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfIXu6t47Y
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaasR6cd1PN
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lk9l34qcW
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ToO29FwAu
I turned to my other 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVrNdIhyG0
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuQeHOZu0c
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vAgYyu2u1
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBOAHKQT9i
now, didn't matter.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL7dY4WouK
"You heard them when 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7kScPNbXw
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84z6XgVwQv
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBfAb9AICt
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoIpuJdphP
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmACadm2XXQ
"And so even if we tried to object to it you would refuse us to do so because the decision came from you, right?" I asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSx1uLIa4M
This time it was me, or I1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJNegEmaUh
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3riFW01179
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdks1Q2aXM
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGts8s5XXB
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYjTogYXB6
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3pKl1c3pL
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0sFQz9VJN
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ0KgGjZhj
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdZFGG48Zm
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr6nALQ9RA
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSONtdMySf
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH8uut9y2H
"We all agree," said Daniel.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4OyLyyt4e
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3wXBe4SAA
"But just because it 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjtp7WInND
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc0oeKFuSL
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHhOZKVXiX
"Okay, so that's settled1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyHpSuPF6n
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIiQLALepP
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8umQN8DsHm
BTW official."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79hfo02OmE
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWxnu4ZLOQ
I noticed that most of 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K5c0DDu5H
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAA3teyuZE
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVnxtRp8FZ
when she looked at me and I grinned.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29xuuAYm2g
"Okay, then," said Yang Hyun-suk as he rubbed his hands. "Now that's been taken care of, you may go but, with one condition."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjInuci5VhL
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHMw3ALQdD
"Before we make BTW 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsLOOWnjba
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBic31WBKqR
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ltbws2FWt
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznvsvHZ1Ku
low for a while. Is that good?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjGURQA85z
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJFNm1CBwM
"That's fair enough," 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1nrxyUXVp
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bmb7Sng3m
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9HmdyRlk5
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORGCg9Xr2n
so."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW3rMqVwCK
"So you want to crush 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNHoDuw0FV
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkVCicQ8BQ
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvVsV3fPR2
strategy."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcHchuipnY
"Then if all is well and1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PIImDYJGE
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfzC05rcDc
updated and not a word on social media."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eZmqDNgGN
I stood up from my seat 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeO5cLr48P
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PmBqIxrMF
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH9xAguEwQ
walk out, I stopped them.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QuQMkofQ0
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BHuOzYMW7
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOPt7jt5DB
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8CwWJH7L6
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DYKMPGqfd
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eyvzx3VHZ
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBAs4YN0Uu
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOkGc3adCG
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3A9ePPuoK
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFnnRb5Zp7
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFS6zG6iLf
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM2ECRotek
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPQn2y0b77
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gOk2UsGq0
"This is like the best 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm1zcK5qGH
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OYwCoIz2L
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJBl3iXaV4
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySjM5S6LEy
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd49S517Cq
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BX8PhE5zj
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpYDGbP348
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFfBzFgrRH
"I knew there was a 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQM4yOCLHQ
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6biPKFDCmA
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiGC7NwQSc
G-Dragon.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdyyt2MxGb
"You knew?" Christine asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiqGorOKnH
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjKZjS8PhO
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39Yeccx3gi
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPKGlcIYWJ
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprWvSUVsEc
"I'll just say, I'm mad at you, GD. But since you did us this huge favour, I forgive you," said Zoey as she smiled.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i89ibi1OT
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5D4xdLBP2
"Well, you guys can tell1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpaWPvznkV
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIuh8IQ7Ij
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JVbpztErc
aren't going to go into the same car."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFW8h4MLqi
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ob3ye7APv
Everyone else started to1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM2ZpBjYE2
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJJCdbDlZr
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUehe2EvpJ
only G-Dragon and I.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcMBZpKpe1
"I'm mad at you," I started.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5OPnSmiU3
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFAYAjS60J
"Save it." I held my 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavKwg07mvo
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo6mKjjdQf
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47ASYHGsX7
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jNOwqV22x
a war again."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FUNExN7vy
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvbwnFD7cO
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfyqahrI6j
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEObVwKPzRp
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnx0LmsN2X
G-Dragon looked at me 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwNw08EJWS
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA8FHKdU1s
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Sg6ko0wln
stab in the heart.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyCMMHVjTk
"You're right. I realise it now because I didn't get what I want. But I want us to forget that all this ever happened."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNTUOxCENY
"You know, the others 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGyE0Q2Jzg
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRngfPPNi1
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMboGVk5I5p
with WINNER yesterday."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXwPsASPiK
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgsafXI2R2
I nodded my head. What I1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS7M2Sv1H6
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33Kt02uBeI
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu5c0Y4rMc
of Seunghoon and I.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBi63wEjVC
"You know you and I can 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpskyvTzA81
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y6ssTlaIN
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡode9iyVxfV
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbP2ppZ6od
down the rocks."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWUDpbnLQJ
I headed for the door 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EghLKtM3c
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw0xd6QOgU
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLBK2RH7JL
Zoey, waiting.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U7msp6WlR
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3QzS1WmGq
"I sure hope so," I said1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcMoSeqLsZ
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ939PVDntUs
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDul14ZLKX
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQLjFGgAhO
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PqGZX7BAk
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3loGP2Rym
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPlNoVYbrz
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6Km6oxUSF
"You know computers are 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWhvmlFsTu
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GEgQkLmfb
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7vyfzoX3p
supposed to."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB6JWUtm6Q
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKstdemYuB
I smiled. "You always call me that."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPagYLAdNPD
"Ya, because you're smart too."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUbVmwMjvr
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kqyt8tvDL
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYhAwxZ3AT
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWDSPdUU6h
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuyvyGAFF0
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndrafM1RHW
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
