Hanging out at Times 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjShpZfuASE
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZtUDucGGa
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SHxyZVpFO
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymyIovo52N
But that didn't matter. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHyAuLitfP
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ669ReLk6eJ
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jh3S71l6D
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuZ6BriGDY
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83DIIwhsIM
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHSG0EBHWN
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIbSFyODsg
actually played around with the adorable kids.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NJgtDaMlh
There were plenty of 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQawR0wDHXb
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfKhkIFxH0
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdETPCSAB6
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4seRXb69X
fans too.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQw04Ju1W7
The time we were done 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ynSiDX6mP
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7R97d85yg
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGjq6qXgCm
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBw3nE3pkJ
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfTiQjIUzD
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGbc3oq1md
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU7FkpJWbX
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcZz0VXDkx
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9m32vbJuR
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP3PP3fOZm
previous day, of course.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLPLcv0ekp
As much as the managers 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo2x0znOQy
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52oIclsNCp
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9no3Rt8suA
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1oOj7Apga
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47WGzp9OBJ
Right now, this very 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8pj4E1o9q
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhauwZfCEW8
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm186PAgbNm
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8uLoNcEhJ
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowNBCOf9MV
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvmjDGyPhY
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFUaT8Upbd
and I just couldn't take it.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBrYGgSt73
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJPF6K2aFN
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EmJzivmvJ
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVe5oTf0XH
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGw8KgInI8
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7UpNp6DH4
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGR0j0tocb
"I thought you said your plan would work."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPofu2G0mL
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lO7uPWE4S
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2r2yW37HS
I felt like slapping my 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIoT8HVlUS
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzh2cMeDKl
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlQKxE6Qvs
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6E5XhVbll
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jF5ApcgF8
off.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBqiW4nqoC
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8ylgAX8F8
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYHj2E6pd5
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeN4bQwMhL
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorBTNPUmDI
I shrugged. She read my 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5QFDrirGw
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJkoQUXXvk
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIN6LVZqxX
me the whole time."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dwXcbuMNh
I sat down on my bed as 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4un4h2Ve0c
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvhVZkwpAO
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZeKbtlFqd
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qPPls9j4R
"Gosh, you really should993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4YAfqqNcb
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8t4rqEb9t
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwonAhJwGA
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdXv67ic94
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIVgaksQPy
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFIl8fM8JH
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLRemRO4Wq
"Mike is annoying 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATFx9d10Lb
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTcxBO22ds
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3WZKQsPE8
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrEVEVE6lK
"You're right. I should burn him instead."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTF8iNAXgm
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5659mxJSV
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf5EDZiZMI
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bn1l7m6Vj
"Sorry, but just so you 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqpXsTeWSZ
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlUMwLGOY2
that pic of you and him together."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuraFgr7Tf
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzOovGUPRd
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1DgdgDwtj
I blushed and at the 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkkJnT2foQ
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhVtCLXT9t
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7Dt69QbXf
other hidden agenda.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T8rBgbH0B
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbdDI5BBG0
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkExTTq27N
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS56x4pK6Nz
I sighed in surrender. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxvLmVkp02
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuL0Tl6QYZ
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs06hdwumBd
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgEgIDnviB
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."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA78mjYa1r
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ4rxFQHwS
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W2wZcuQwt
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKl92bkHJm
Zoey had an excited look993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjy1FX5TLv
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz7WGr6b1U
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKFDhtOZMS
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwEm86Qozc
clearly show all over her face.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLAd2m1cnQ
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5loynaNZM
I shook my head. "And?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPOSB0EUV1
Zoey folded her arms, 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZolYJgy8B
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGelJhcUcLz
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO08K3ju9b
"Hold that thought. This993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8E7PxgEGJ
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJN38OJGQl
after Seunghoon posted that picture."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QKwX076BB
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAyIAZALiE
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EFXr1ZxD7
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfHDB8gzp7
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasYBdNrF20
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKbZm4YiK7
"Well, he hid in our closet."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCTXHaKPID
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZQ0LUfbTp
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK5r8ggrLE
"Ya, why?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5xjHoLdt0
"Looks like we just 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgklDRScswQ
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGHHTbskmw
whom we consider perfect as our bias."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH6dve9vpd
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."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICrmtMGcvI
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaoCqKpmly
"What do you mean? You 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP9pEauYxE
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcIe9x515h
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGZYTLrH2A
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7QIkRyW0Z
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dn2MrUBkS
"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."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yD2NWTk5v
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp9A3YrSED
"I wanted to but I kept 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsFBRfZyZs
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDWIcTM9JW
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsTaHs4Lyo
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc9nykUIz4
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIkgypl5yJ
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwERoFRSlb
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnPBAOvA6Q
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHJbTwTSYa
I quickly stood up and 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIotFHesvs
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbYq9lqvEX
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RaqnnnjM8
her back.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2clyH3XOb
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSwWn0KJlU
"Zoey, you're going to 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZN3oUfRn5
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0WqmRUpPo
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVMdS9KA7M
own hair pink in the next ten years."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDrRoDa0nO
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONosEAqfdm
"You're lying."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8679bDZALR
"I'm telling the truth!"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA2WHkj3WX
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzo5SYs6hv
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pXomMmqjX
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u4jTc1sqd
"I can't tell you that."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9o6nIIybm
"Why?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aF66jwYYO
"Because it's 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bOglxJd6s
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sVGudnsOj
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi9uP4Vt7t
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiCi5xgHco
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE8ocL1hIU
"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."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskl6doW04l
"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.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9CBQPIGny
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi1hIo22yZ
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQisNMMskN
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMikBoLv0q
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKetBa0ET4
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9hwJapO7D
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSOr96QfUA
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocryAwjHAo
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdClc2Cc8zr
I playfully rolled my 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJYCCM5dVi
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynW945refm
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBSDuIS1B5
also looked worried.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIGZzi9077
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvk5hiSoAG
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIsxThBgZW
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwowt4ssWi
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleTW2XGM35
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFib7EjmHH
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6SliDpKs0
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc0lMm8JwV
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5NBNX6zz6
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5o8fFWJRg
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxmEwmK2qW
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GfR2yzmz7
"Okay, first of all," 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpFnX5PbxL
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpqESlUw5a
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD4MADVnwp
he wasn't mad at you."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe8MJHzZre
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVJig5XkW8
"That, he couldn't say."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhZYgFrJGa
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOs0qk03bc
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCa77JdryJ
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d0I0KF5pe
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjhizcd7EX
Christine pressed the 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlueaezVlj1
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TNLizejUq
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7oKXefGxL
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwrlAH0VOa
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC8jnZw2G2
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGYOb1crWl
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7gjHJporm
We got to YG right on 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU8tQEYt3J
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4ca2QmkxY
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R4kG78Xhk
arrived a few seconds earlier.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZZJvZQ8kW
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy0BzbpAfj
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gM1toX2HX
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUNfnU3m7R
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHg8IauUOK
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SR12xG1OV
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92b3WYyh8M
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY4ut1WV5v
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDLrCwTJYp
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVpSqcwrku
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO8lm0dfsc
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroQAAyv1RX
"There will be no such 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcqE0J5z2c
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTkXpVfQSx
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMYr95qxMS
"And you're making it 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87fHot2xfJ
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4h4jB3JVY
pouted his lip and scratched his head.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM6j4RvjpO
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1B53psz4A
"Trust me, you don't 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGweqRwIv5
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYHmJsWqM4
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lmDsG9HVt
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDQPenjDu7
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2FDu17oZE
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gPbwJHgmo
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElQmCmYcaR
"Look, whether they are 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawdYY7E3JD
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbqVBsR2oq
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EMT1HEKcd
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy4h2VcJUl
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFphYf5sPhd
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMBwlHVZ8x
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYcYwwP3bo
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq3BsnePui
I gave Lee a sad smile 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvZcKXAAtw
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE1Wn1InjV
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3TClIKjgq
your life. Like suicide.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7MvGBmSeL
We started our way 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJazMY2kla
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQexpkm9vo
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BQLUtz4O2
and my jean trousers. Nothing.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgrvdbFt9n
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlK1WlSue5
I quickly ran out of the993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbAtYwBSVW
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaqkZ5xvmV
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcwA1n9eAD
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx4bMV6hpX
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYQkr9tEMV
check for it inside.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH8VOrv5dE
When I got to the 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5AP0wLoCK
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7mMJNmEYa
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiLuF7f5U6
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi54ydmzjU
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxfyeOXwrA
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu9uclKDNG
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsrXQZHcng
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RWxUfCH3S
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL3wZvVNmY
"Seriously, I can sue 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RrArm1wA8
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcCQjAuQns
fast. I never even heard him coming.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcppQDOPwR
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14ZMGJbrbX
"You're not my bodyguard993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWV5Yuy2HH
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLvIlz6yo3
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn6pCj9DY0
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1elvg3zLj1
I blushed. "You know about that?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvhvqnUv0B
"Everyone knows you have993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBgLLLLBd7
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wzzHc5pPI
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTlZiienV9
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdHizK3bXe
"Looks like I did the 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92ifmonOvi
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSSFtgiFOA
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72TJGSyJ5L
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxpVV0r9yM
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXtvUjI146
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwZ3k7FDAH
"And because you're a 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpaz4IlGaI
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qv8B29bDy
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2iDzYiQiu
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuASJApTvEd
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlcqCfdmeh
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v2cLY9Dgp
"Can you at least tell 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHiyZjW33v
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTezMhNnmB
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtMHTbp1lk
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxPI5h3OUs
"What dramatic effect?" 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26zIosEYme
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4pMA42sFd
came closer. I took a warning step back.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu0Zc3W377
"If you hadn't followed 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2SZAK10du
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFGWRhvEeY
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6ijeQBktl
room."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzZEm0nW3U
"What surprise?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvCLQphFb6
The elevator stopped and993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3GxxUz4P7
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeXh0dGNc7
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtFIPHAYZT
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgTeLMUKd9
Seunghoon and I stepped out.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMQ6MQChc6
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpS0rbT9TW
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9Cq33daQQ
"I already have a guess," I said.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO6cFgvgj4
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwApTFQ91EY
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpzXLvkcJX
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9XLqw5DQw
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdngc8PfA3
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZBhAz3dLC
When we reached the 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1sL2nGT5w
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD2eQ5UXvs
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78CfXUDpli
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlOIv2p28y
In the conference room 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuxsw10IiV
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELIlTkZPtJ
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPvfD4ygRW
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIUJ8QZZkZ
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGzHVZK67S
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygfFRaFkKt
though I did my best not to show it.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOygH3Jr19f
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpgPT8px0S
I looked to the opposite993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQDpWgU8X9
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEBskYi131
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOz6HP1duJ
turned their backs to us facing the wall.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U9vD1kO5L
"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."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SVTKxPAiA
G-Dragon quickly turned 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAxbonwppF
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt6PXD89ss
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmoTtDjib5
"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?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjLXak0W2X
"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.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8CFQwnbhs
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4xkf8VWTi
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ssPUVIDmx
"Wait," said Lisa who 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zgXxaQKCN
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl2Cj7SuLh
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFOlyLfmDj
"It felt simple and 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTBeo6JxNh
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AUthwffGT
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjScZTo695B
with G-Dragon today."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV0yGEjs9S
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqju1UaLTT
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20dIUuOrmx
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSwYzGPkNp
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj94nJjvIq
"Ya, I know I'm a 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXr4Tohj5Y
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKAuNAG42c
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBiGneIlVk
"If you mean us getting 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVerq4fR9b
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8xL13iUf1
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrgtCRKhEc
by coincidence."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BogxlPSqn
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvsv5oi1fW
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxCVweAP6U
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6Zu84qNf0
The rest of the BTW crew993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOst5p30aD
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3fzTm4pse
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eipp2frfS
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNubMo8LUty
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU74i2sODP
"Hold up," said Zoey who993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8rTpBWnI1
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqnO3zBBTR
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKntKzOzkrp
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jlM4sFEb1
"Told you we'll 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0HQaO0a63
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBSRLrU5rS
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMpDRV1HDT
"But is he going to do 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGwUGxlDuG
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjnto8XqvO
didn't really meet by coincidence."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3URCrYZrH
There was silence in the993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcf7eGEzo9
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0xasULrFk
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHn4inkYIM
planning to do.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHQjGgQOTj
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5bLUepUNd
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYMsPxoeoe
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli4qtBrqHD
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4TVFSGOCy
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzH6mAQwI0
"And also because he's 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhshnashm84
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB89CQMyUW
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaScJClCgXk
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yx6cznkqu
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8GRSSQrZq
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K80380huB
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9xNRPEgCP
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RTwCOkxg9
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHCEYiu62x
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHi7mvARnS
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vB1ZCkXMW
G-Dragon smiled. He had 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM0eGNh7rB
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsqamc6WT3
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqxwZw5dvF
deal with G-Dragon instead.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtJ8Mka2qx
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1hYtkhm9Q
"What do you want?" I asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqZkI1dzYS
G-Dragon looked at me as993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYDQZvDAcP
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJnVLQ411X
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5JsGUqFeA
came to any conclusions.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPT41cP7AE
"To make things clear 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAiMPsEgVs
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpsxYFwvrV
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa42VxX9tj
thinking about doing the same thing."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwovVX4TzD
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnb2R4qKZk
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjgLmuia0k
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAyO1gkkGz
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnScytS2LA
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2auoi3OKk
"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."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhAY6wcb5f
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQihpHC9Ua1
"All's fair in love and 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXUERdJPES
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUF8uP4baj
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf4JeXJp2q
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOKh1bgwU6
"Come on," Christine 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uBrZomlto
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6Cy5ojmcz
won't be here for long and you know it."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe81j6a2HuZ
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOQhwa6mXv
"BTW is nothing but a 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCquvCZzmv
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8csGJWOQst
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbbuR2xp6W
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDwwnpgNbm
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XJL4cgLFB
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDJqJIjrRy
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueHiKtKem9
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZHRH3VoNq
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyOXl0KIex
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLNlnFKLNh
"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.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAPVrQtJo8
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT2okbfdYQ
Upon saying that, the 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0Xr9ViIM9
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb6PEM8h5Q
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc4ChDlKwr
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS780YJFMq
seated stood up.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHGBvyGoz1
I gulped. I hope the 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2Ez3yXXXp
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EBh9PzLvY
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAPN5cJPRa
The two managers had 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQudNe3OcoR
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46CiXeC9KB
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodtVeYy6Dm
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy8dabAwUO
is wrong.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMNGwfHRNx
"Good that you're all 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcJHqkXNNN
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RSIemDH2o
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtgRsVnAF2
I have always hated it 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81wd8ElEn0
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2Wu2Q1wN8
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfP0fbSGzv
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsjgT87oOb
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKQWDoE5qI
their seats.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiRWSsbpMT
The two managers and Lee993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZuBCwU9ip
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCSnUoxcZ7
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDdmfHA2Jj
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU0y7aNhRl
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWeLJKSN3t
was.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcuiA1OgQr
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tyui5Gq3W
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cdi0Ziyyg
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w8UwB7Vgo
Zoey sighed loudly in 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATye1K8q6F
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XtlodvOAm
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygdld90Niv
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXwShVw6TO
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuHSI4Cz5o
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup4QHgkb0j
The two managers 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs7NVmXWRw
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuoKqj5pyM
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJaOH2VVsx
That was so not cool.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NQdGqGwkt
"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."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoRPDSCanb
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvjQRwes2C
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3OPtqPJmk
My ears perked up when 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj8pBmuf1t
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5VLSwGVKP
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHYcE1OwMU
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlz1fReDWt
"We heard you outside 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrjrGNYxmm
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QKpVSWHDc
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxNZqMEIWn
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVT3QllMFL
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHaHWsz021
"Yes, Sam. For real," 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QDdaldPxi
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXH5YONy9x
through further scrutiny about this decision."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTKwNvu6eK
I smiled. Even if they 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaWdRz8se6
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH0FCftvc6
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshlGUbxzA2
There was an exciting 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlgH7LqXz4
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxnl6kK41W
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNljNqokLi6
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDgcaaMkzE
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9s09q4ziU
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHseC9ICo34
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyLTYKP5VM
I turned to my other 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vOX8ObxJZ
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMCLMgGm1l
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAtMYiBfT2
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3aatWZnbO
now, didn't matter.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dd0jWCiLB
"You heard them when 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKZbGyfdZn
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k8msWD5Ee
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlry4ZYqUx
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3oojEMZgm
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlNqmlnfr2
"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.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7Q6zf9Q4c
This time it was me, or I993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNGcaJIqIZ
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrya5T7NEF9
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDc91BGvzn
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqtKNCwBZ6
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1CAGY5dBF
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNwDBgw4DO
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtmMEYAgkZ
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQitpa6Yfun
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsivGfTI1Oi
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIR6DehOdx
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfekPeEfN84
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSqYRkrsBX
"We all agree," said Daniel.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZavEQTXyb
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQgUla1X5n
"But just because it 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2lOdGeZ75
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylazGO6GYU
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmynDp99pDI
"Okay, so that's settled993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUxXaaY5hH
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukujQOZ9JV
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2zEM8ZUQd
BTW official."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNTiRkNJl0
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VKdriM2FQ
I noticed that most of 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT2sK4jkYu
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVviFdxHxNp
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxXAWmauzs
when she looked at me and I grinned.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBY5LBYXDT
"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."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLF2ynA8dJ
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfaMq9NbCY
"Before we make BTW 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5ACSczenx
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQX551wDLK
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5i1iv0ECx
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcW4DEc0g0
low for a while. Is that good?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx1YxmxTQ8
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qwSaQRT9X
"That's fair enough," 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8Zy5d2Uky
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PLAnZFqps
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMw29AFqFg
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFP5jFtqYC
so."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzieceYgi1m
"So you want to crush 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8BrX3NkWa
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEBuMxwUez
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwJz32m8YB
strategy."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbFHun2fMa
"Then if all is well and993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQx4GBB13M
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCFVJJsLHz
updated and not a word on social media."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfSsjAfVIt
I stood up from my seat 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOEqI1xjIM
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAImxqWgY0
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n09WGbxQp
walk out, I stopped them.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZtW9yKzzK
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCkfrAc8HJ
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSJLzkSAgW
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFO3h5N7Ey
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJn4b7hx5x
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf1s0Yct8P
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlze7tkuvJ
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2N8FJipOb
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0S0Ta9CAh
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg8qGWkbqq
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNRQJ5Qvra
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OGw5TZ3Nm
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk9yWStNmz
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluiA1EYNkY
"This is like the best 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMilB0ugAz
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2AgZNwdEU
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6IrmGhfOV
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4d1QsUqvW
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuENLvjMnD7
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGXwfQilBT
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleXQgp7ACq
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kfD2bJQyc
"I knew there was a 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNnrYUjppV
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UX8QNP6Dc
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwHMFCYIJp
G-Dragon.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxSpg028kw
"You knew?" Christine asked.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2AcKpYiQK
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrKu1MX0Q5
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOI376ZDIj
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmxbWMjBDB
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKByzXBvCrj
"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.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fhZQhOJ5v
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIZoudNvIi
"Well, you guys can tell993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxXjh3VGDY
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6TZefzCNS
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwwGSBCfMl
aren't going to go into the same car."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEo5QPvP3Z
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8apS3bDLM
Everyone else started to993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HItIBFsqr
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQcxNA4UkP
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNZ8b1ZoJX
only G-Dragon and I.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDljJHw5aIE
"I'm mad at you," I started.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4rFWp6P75
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFVAhdBPJc
"Save it." I held my 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT6nSbncn0
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfenjX0oln
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFtS61YQbs
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyrMSStXhX
a war again."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWIid06NXz
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lrv5c2084
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSG2OUZYCM
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNIVaSwqbb
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyT88Mguji
G-Dragon looked at me 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3Czq6x9oa
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uYV2tJ3Sr
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHwsuw6ygH
stab in the heart.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqChQZB1Hj
"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."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrOnIHc3bk
"You know, the others 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M5ty0bOzz
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6m3y696uF
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMChicIV5Vt
with WINNER yesterday."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn0G4wmk06
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7yUEhnkws
I nodded my head. What I993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXIHIsSAG4
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXpeUp7MuY
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aLn17Te92
of Seunghoon and I.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcVtGiserh
"You know you and I can 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLpLsMQjz8
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzPCxaedUh
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qYNz9d4LD
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbdz9WfwBH
down the rocks."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwkm46bu9j
I headed for the door 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CxqGOm6S4
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib1DLX8r5Z
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUGHIHSHuk
Zoey, waiting.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGJnp9YSQv
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVROwtrMAYf
"I sure hope so," I said993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSpwxyBpqA
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu1WOGnxeA
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcYMpu2BAT
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwduaAUQJ0
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlJNvll5G9
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1vGXxNyK7
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKlduwk2dC
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtoAbkMKPS
"You know computers are 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq2Tt2ZLRM
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJZT7boCyM
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4GWYi5wmN
supposed to."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y8tHiMLHa
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0QjMS04Ar
I smiled. "You always call me that."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFfGsXTij4
"Ya, because you're smart too."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdQFVtdiQq
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTM2vDOudY
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSNT3eG6v0
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsngDLTS0h
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUKVU2ZBQj
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B8KcxnECw
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
