Hanging out at Times 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12U2jnVYQ0
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUUVAKAqc3
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz2T4rTBXH
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLL6E86yll
But that didn't matter. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC9Kb1B0CB
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnm2js8T7N
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG3ZwSO8XS
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG05SwN9IHc
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQEX8escX1
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOVsdIRAnd
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQJfSdmRdK
actually played around with the adorable kids.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDihRDu3AO1
There were plenty of 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfjXE6ireZ
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCMxxGekMb
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXdpvMY5h4
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf8hyTVAiX
fans too.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgG0wDKioC
The time we were done 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfj6JUjt17
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLkHTrJxbd
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS1fl1la6X
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGvzD7bhVt
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQmcHoAjBw
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7GvpAoRl4
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclvfa52ayW
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQyeK0EUaE
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKc1iL9oJ8
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3qdORV0dv
previous day, of course.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSLKmR0NNJ
As much as the managers 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3wzpjNibU
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofx0sJISjN
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorYNdCkaCw
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYlxEqBlzX
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XxTY4URUY
Right now, this very 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOruKzck7u3
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj78WFdLue7
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEHHvGEeq3
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZFotMPlC4
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczBVq0MCZS
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYQu6y67sG
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AGSeALl88
and I just couldn't take it.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BLUtIfI9c
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQmP24boI6
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcJ1O6NPde
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKtVGUGi0H
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSHJyQmva2
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvfr1rNmQR
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODiid1XA1Z
"I thought you said your plan would work."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTmUpKWh6D
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzSVjheR1Z
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz41wtSUAHV
I felt like slapping my 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKMb1uj8OC
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8OgCJQ9dD
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG0nNd5wwQ
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyzLJD3BSK
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKTrGHnQc3
off.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWjmkthnre
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzPv2OJ1Ot
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRIC0ovYlh
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrt3wg0QRN
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmVynp2YPv
I shrugged. She read my 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBK4QSHvdm
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrxBDYCMPh
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO9L63w80Y
me the whole time."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZbobtZYS1
I sat down on my bed as 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUMagMW8i2
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uDIeDg9ev
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0ZhnbBa3z
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXNPSElJqs
"Gosh, you really should478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8u5D7seds
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpDeSsW9T0
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxnFmCcdBX
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmzMBQkFgc
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7EsgOL2MJ
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoUoqpXk19
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQwAzRf3aL
"Mike is annoying 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KmNxEA5t2
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0cGrKe8wM
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqNMouOjWx
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrTQ2fCkzS
"You're right. I should burn him instead."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh3JTa6iDs
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbiHRyNhv2
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwfRLiK7MX
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsC5zlJQV8
"Sorry, but just so you 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiQQE56LSg
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Nev24N037
that pic of you and him together."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2emmRX1Ju
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPW7t8zCK7
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm9UpSO3qd
I blushed and at the 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6LTmskVCB
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXpNSeWzFc
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39MybHbW9w
other hidden agenda.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVxfvXaOPf
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5BPSMbWBV
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUUSXiks9Q
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGmJRnxwdM
I sighed in surrender. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWY97PXoq5
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nBZv3nWrA
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yWDUoQ0yD
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrsrrVAwm0
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."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRhrKA109O
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO1vzBqvck
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dyaMu19Hn
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHSURVldZr
Zoey had an excited look478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq2UQhRgC9
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN7Khysw21
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBG6w5iDIr
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZKfYChraH
clearly show all over her face.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucpjDMb9Kh
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWuHxY7eN0
I shook my head. "And?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaVDKVkFK9
Zoey folded her arms, 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiL76TACeT
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL24L35FF6
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa94378wl01
"Hold that thought. This478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapClj9pXNS
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz0tA2Swrh
after Seunghoon posted that picture."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQJNbrAh91
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalfZvLZNty
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPPqau9ohi
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpS4DnATB8
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vQznc3I4x
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRke19b9aTf
"Well, he hid in our closet."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJpUhVI04p
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnstUJswu4H
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1a57crdFE
"Ya, why?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wtjqSUgUC
"Looks like we just 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuXvYBB9ys
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrhADAwJfV
whom we consider perfect as our bias."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBYbe8ufpP
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."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs8tEBxdVq
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtCWc7gVwU
"What do you mean? You 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtjayaCejr
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJw3IMuSHC
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ1OuzHVqS
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61yRPaw61S
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq0T1Sgt4j
"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."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPbMYgdRlO
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FJyTDR7z7
"I wanted to but I kept 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecxoUur4wp
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhblknJHpQN
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ7xx8RKX9
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnpgfECuVH
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i9dcHwKj4
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WLMwfIuMW
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYvLBimpd7
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZAj24rStn
I quickly stood up and 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2xy0IYtO0
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuRRszVUR0
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz8wgjHTWZ
her back.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OTCzh0lao
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvI60nCcXb
"Zoey, you're going to 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFPzke1kjh
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmNHgnUkqM
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcbDyBj70c
own hair pink in the next ten years."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hQQaAeltS
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY9OMXNW0c
"You're lying."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqANPIpBaD
"I'm telling the truth!"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG9QvModki
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK3csU9lkF
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58sGmOnl31
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIofTLGAtct
"I can't tell you that."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwi4zZ9rlf
"Why?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOss8bop8PU
"Because it's 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv89RNp97p
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkarYAGNTW
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrjSquTjAU
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw91FGkCr38
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xyE3qkvMS
"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."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfh0cGfAJl
"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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2IKTICbYt
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXphBchys6i
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0X5raQWz3
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts6b7ogLX7
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPIuRzyQqd
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf8xzUmc8u
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1jEAeSQpo
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNTrVqQr1G
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3BfOyU9Oq
I playfully rolled my 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmBnI3gdaU
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJULEtgkx0
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLqa715GoW
also looked worried.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ60NeXR2n
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56xMYKUPuu
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ydt7e4GVw
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MTbbiGmEU
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFnusMLXkb
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjOjEBSurY
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp78IZ8RJZY
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcL1AVNVCG
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFrgz9TjWQ
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsihYg47otz
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6jXlGIsY0
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV2jMetVwS
"Okay, first of all," 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3w34IHiT2
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2N2Yxf1BI
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a60ojxwpr
he wasn't mad at you."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYcfgCbxXU
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxyzAgpCoh
"That, he couldn't say."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzx9KyhN35
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZlKnOi0Sy
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaiPzaY1e8
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6vHeA2XSb
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jSBVY1kER
Christine pressed the 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sxrnN7iMr
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UlPH1KoUZ
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKpTlqdBpc
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1zGkevvML
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw5tBHL5iv
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo76IueNvJN
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TUOZPhkQn
We got to YG right on 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG70j5Jh2z
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb5cmR7d7n
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirAsiAWMOs
arrived a few seconds earlier.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8DqEq2YZQ
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pio6u85ZL
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmn1aYVWdT
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR6YwYt4DJ
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HNh0cmhqS
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO395M19RRV
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bOlAZOEVC
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PIiUrbknW
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8P8v9otkP
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl94h811YT
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCi4cT3JKp
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdaeNObOw5
"There will be no such 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c847THnNk
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVsm10bpW1
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6xRK5WtoJ
"And you're making it 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yWMfWapXh
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMpMcohD5q
pouted his lip and scratched his head.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgag0HekrvR
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRcZ8CxiBD
"Trust me, you don't 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFToacAy8j
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGkm6kDURI
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMDWHxyyXM
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nAzw8LTNX
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxTbtZ5m2u
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvshm4lsaX
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1Z6WICD7L
"Look, whether they are 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeuOXvOi3f
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU5ahOi8lK
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVHWBh2mXp
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqm7NBBLe6
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokcTdPSlC9
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeWazQLUkz
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqVgXPbW6X
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhLmbXK03G
I gave Lee a sad smile 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIewOpbNZbc
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VmtPQv7Bw
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAX59H1Qsj
your life. Like suicide.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzd3TXfeRm
We started our way 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOz0dQgAzA
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP7ouOhMEf
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPeFvokVxR
and my jean trousers. Nothing.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODxYR8HpOL
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxpCqNcLG5
I quickly ran out of the478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFtOWvD3FP
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS6Yjc3m3x
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH5U3YrFW3
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ffanFbcv3
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE77ZrtNfD
check for it inside.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN96YbsEtPS
When I got to the 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVU9FL8CUJ
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCR7aGi3m2
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5StRlvzuS
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT0xOnkPha
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27cDSX8ZdO
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKMqK1B7Kn
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTwtiUZsNb
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5QdGdnurg
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOWGFbxiND
"Seriously, I can sue 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckd0NtB3Um
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa4qWSR13Y
fast. I never even heard him coming.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o4bEHm9Ku
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCd8hAZN6X
"You're not my bodyguard478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7s8XdQ3vj
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRbkdPGSNx
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmyZl0Khea
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCb5rXapEr
I blushed. "You know about that?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Eabu4HE8t
"Everyone knows you have478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOHaLiEJYR
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2BDylJhAD
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11KpbOvbBH
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapNNyKCeCm
"Looks like I did the 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotpmhZY3yN
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3u5FKOnRz
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhNLWlJASl
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrp3RZZjco
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQf13rpSr2
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOnfRh8J9b
"And because you're a 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKOAJ93WnE
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ79XKAhdt6
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDQTnlWQHF
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKfop0IwsN
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vo2D2SxJd
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGck5g2kGyN
"Can you at least tell 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwgPvTdHxC
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoudKBvMty7
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bicDfRfO3
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWyGoRJdB5
"What dramatic effect?" 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmPZ1Ru65p
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkued5RThWf
came closer. I took a warning step back.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnnado78HL
"If you hadn't followed 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48Z03gvS7M
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVem2SUMCQ4
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnzjMjLvDY
room."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnWWt0lIzA
"What surprise?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d5ClLmD1h
The elevator stopped and478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8s4v8M0m8
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2AVPkAFaO
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nxRoOG69y
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMncl6wQTKB
Seunghoon and I stepped out.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHDPE3wzsi
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo8mhuNdgQ
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b8OSMvfu7
"I already have a guess," I said.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpYnQeXuu0
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOi2TRR4aA
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMBeO40hnq
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnXIInAWmI
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTMGq8yvlR
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h983LLJFA
When we reached the 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchKjswBPft
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9uXiOj2nn
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM5vnQdKNl
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSCpiIykcm
In the conference room 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y9z2UNqdg
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdRRmOdsWv
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRuYIb1Bgd
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ6sXgJDkP
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmFEvfhx7C
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ3xux5m8V
though I did my best not to show it.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvi7LToBPY
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtnLl35Jja
I looked to the opposite478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwL7E6SXFQ
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVIit7oJnf
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLU44WGOl9
turned their backs to us facing the wall.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlPoW8PQiL
"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."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxI8vwO6RJ
G-Dragon quickly turned 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvIlbR5FtE
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNvHmDVC23
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLeSHDgBAq
"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?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa65E3uH7EE
"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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8eLyTtFMb
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBRyIr9BnA
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp0JKSkOi8
"Wait," said Lisa who 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmjULKHEhQ
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gzloF0omP
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt9husmKcF
"It felt simple and 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qs1KzAHgF
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jNMUicuRS
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaZ57nUmv6
with G-Dragon today."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dV0TIOXR2
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxscUPQc2O
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CkePJcnui
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8uABBx9Pc
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iXXruqv0W
"Ya, I know I'm a 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcNEgpRDZe
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gxWCA4CcL
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1gXuv30xL
"If you mean us getting 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC9cQxDRZF
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwH2UmXW1c
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoI9sTn1L6
by coincidence."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCcWkTYM2F
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLpAHGpw48
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJciv4Mis4J
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXu81FeAQW
The rest of the BTW crew478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57ZtBnFT7H
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKhCUNJXy1
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhljjTa1zI8
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqteCy16xr
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DOh3ZNjlb
"Hold up," said Zoey who478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdsyhdyqKs
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpiQU2kjvh
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3rTmqshuO
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD9Uoppxol
"Told you we'll 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXT7j3ihmk
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSWFqiZUeM
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQoXaipbxt
"But is he going to do 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9oOh1V1gk
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3nn34hvnZ
didn't really meet by coincidence."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi6kS9cgbw
There was silence in the478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZOwo60vTf
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua3anepKGb
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj7Q0ngtUG
planning to do.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq9GTNH5jl
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBLWgOvKIX
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqVo6yOhiQ
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotmSCapPiP
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT1GHLSYG0
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50rLSCkdq3
"And also because he's 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnSZ3I2vVt
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1xcX53WCy
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLTQ9CX4Dp
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GiDCRHOhX
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vAkU82JGA
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YJwpILPsP
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9G6THexxH
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwuetjdmDW
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl31pwIj7HQ
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnEkxrV05W
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXbXxa2UMF
G-Dragon smiled. He had 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2faQFkGz7
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdbq76ai90
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEF3rbZFta
deal with G-Dragon instead.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkdFRWyhqU
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUgCCI53qB
"What do you want?" I asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhMd9D7U8o
G-Dragon looked at me as478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnh3Dsk3kK
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYzsIfVvWe
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58VSrrvFp0
came to any conclusions.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JzJH1wyeS
"To make things clear 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCaOJNqGUR
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZuMjSSHsp
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCqP1w0QFv
thinking about doing the same thing."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxXPnH9c25
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXr23tjQJP
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy3QTAaUA5
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTgWtRMxsL
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Dj03WNkF
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ghKxatqnW
"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."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38MTUQAWV3
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr42eVSuK3
"All's fair in love and 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIsvS4CvFC
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoxc75WGK9
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6KZX4FRHC
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmyk91ldRv
"Come on," Christine 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HJA19KSDm
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ9brQi8Bm
won't be here for long and you know it."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK3dUyNaw6
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9iJrshDmZ
"BTW is nothing but a 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz15ig3AKwj
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEaqk3grhS
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ2dP2jfEo
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwIF7tPTnG
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3GXOXQ7gb
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW1Dqfl0Tm
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZebwHCb33O
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzWF3Tsdfv
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW6Rh1cLdw
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVWAmjz7Ur
"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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBx9UN4UKG
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI2jc0o29H
Upon saying that, the 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY8y2juZes
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzyBO8lZXy
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzv3wZJ44v
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0ZiYrPFdX
seated stood up.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYYKlULlUt
I gulped. I hope the 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLGxAkqwr3
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhLSU69edt
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJqg0gHk6Q
The two managers had 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVNGK4bOQM
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxblppNjCDR
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsQCThi8CF
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8nCWAUJL8
is wrong.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh8RtT5wpA
"Good that you're all 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihW7mf58Z6
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEbE5pkbAw
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk1ESarEFk
I have always hated it 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpkxhIVT0x
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lfVxWzx84
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUIGkfare6
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzynhJLfWuI
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzya8aR4IjU
their seats.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK68KbzqJr
The two managers and Lee478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmGRX2td69
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vutjrKsHI
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTERm7ndPlq
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdUCSZHUZC
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhpnPBF5AA
was.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9gRvLX26f
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k8l0Qeurp
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqnRolFtYM
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzQpcXcwFm
Zoey sighed loudly in 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VkJVnCO0u
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOCL41twD0
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBLRwgJtvp
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIVxLk0iXJ
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B9DJWh5ej
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57EZMDfEEp
The two managers 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aSArIxgUV
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY3utmUrgx
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9SX8Gt9bl
That was so not cool.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzOOcJKOv3
"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."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlsds0fSF6
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNqQcvzPyg
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoInAZxVjB
My ears perked up when 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpkCwvoFSw
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbswNSLqNEC
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbIgibwUYe
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3NrhW7g59
"We heard you outside 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z3l4TwjO7
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGWWHaaacJ
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVGBs9h2kz
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FDW3Sa2b6
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmi2EHt41x
"Yes, Sam. For real," 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMdKceuqqW
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6SkRpKgfq
through further scrutiny about this decision."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTChi2A2jU
I smiled. Even if they 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix16h9lIW6
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNKAsgqYO9
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjV19dN9KZ
There was an exciting 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvXBteo2X0
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAT1DAPM3Q
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLLnIQFsiv
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy2sb8zEEg
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhlkDTaaVd
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZZhjlM3rz
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB5NbRunis
I turned to my other 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ9F6a5BGN
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE1INmHjBg
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk6jSGQ2VB
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JT4C64TwT
now, didn't matter.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdQOge1lpY
"You heard them when 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vrtKtca5h
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV51zlCkVtA
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09TYJr76wX
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pluz5lTyj
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWxZGWObCI
"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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUqMfoD4tU
This time it was me, or I478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6dC5IBsbm
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhGjwadQR0
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HHoSvVnq7
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyub3RzlHCJ
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlznqo7DWD
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f0VGaNId8
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFqaMkJZ2G
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajYqeO5iob
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaHpYe0xEz
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81nNwlghQR
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XhXEFZZTm
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfiZ89JhHg
"We all agree," said Daniel.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MsRzkS2B1
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYAxRaMFW2
"But just because it 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50kIsZ6s69
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsL6rxFiV2
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cpYYQLyAm
"Okay, so that's settled478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GBRFGIM1T
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz9vzI5Be0
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVvg3WEsfa
BTW official."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJEd43bLud
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1sbZ8suhJ
I noticed that most of 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltIWkPrZl1
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHHNE6JjGa
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u4912Ww9n
when she looked at me and I grinned.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm3rad2hE2
"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."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4McB8prUD
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl0Lzfr2PM
"Before we make BTW 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBcQeBlhtg
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX9SAGqA1H
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJiZz0S1vP
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNRyfVped2
low for a while. Is that good?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSZszQz27C
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxZ8WQA1fV
"That's fair enough," 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vNhJN2NoS
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaZgYV9ziu
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxlCrYty0p
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU1NzuveJr
so."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhcsY7r7PS
"So you want to crush 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBYyyI33kl
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrP74wRG4s
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7OTI92nYG
strategy."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX7hW3ez7V
"Then if all is well and478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu2oTLO3UM
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X6kEqVWCk
updated and not a word on social media."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuDJafaO2Q
I stood up from my seat 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHpZdFmu17
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgqVLzbWL6
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf18ZQ8M8ck
walk out, I stopped them.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREokM0eD3q
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiuRJR8i9u
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt5A0i7evS
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYFMTDDM9s
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVFGehVFZK
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwe0cRq9OA
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVbIONWv8V
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VNnUYICHL
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERwBOtbWZb
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNXyjARYrG
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIAc8etmSW
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNv3quccSX
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRnZXX9C80
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE9LUzARV5
"This is like the best 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpGsiZ0vVX
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vZo6yh2XS
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8dBt43ODX
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfchktIs3qI
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjuE3jpvMx
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnEyOgqOGc
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTBoyfa0W2
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXPhI02X3E
"I knew there was a 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y5ONkXLpp
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbXSINuc1i
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLAOMQN455
G-Dragon.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNz4FLSD84
"You knew?" Christine asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3haqcdYR0P
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG0U4tjfEe
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jnPZr9ipA
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKAAecBc6h
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyszQ4S7Kv
"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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4GjcidSwe
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5M411y6Wy
"Well, you guys can tell478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ53xScVgam
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZAAB2KT6u
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5AohnWG2n
aren't going to go into the same car."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0n4LHzhJZ
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwufcquU5z
Everyone else started to478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUAxN7Owxj
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48QORDgn23
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQNv6C5FHQ
only G-Dragon and I.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJAT2Lmlyk
"I'm mad at you," I started.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOD7tZPPFU
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ929ZassB8E
"Save it." I held my 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yzEWlP0Lc
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5LHomtRg9
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzTpolQO5p
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnBHTBPF9Q
a war again."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEpCSgFcZk
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y3FgiNqVt
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr5mguMrYU
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGWdSUa8de
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyB6L7E4w5
G-Dragon looked at me 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSQvWx8us1
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqk8KdS7Kk
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzDQ4cELQH
stab in the heart.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGJ2aQSha8
"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."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcRPMlPOFr
"You know, the others 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObY1UgjG8d
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIyYA3VBmH
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nT9EML4OA
with WINNER yesterday."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTtLz461Er
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XITDy9tYK
I nodded my head. What I478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeuCKmQbzA
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9C3jwGNhp
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ksOwg7zcI
of Seunghoon and I.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27u0ZPD3wQ
"You know you and I can 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxXqzNq9VP
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41hbMeJ9sK
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSluLfnxbxO
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFjNDtNKqX
down the rocks."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZQM2vuZWL
I headed for the door 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vDtOcgQQt
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZhoPFAsog
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqenSg5gCp
Zoey, waiting.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIPsO6WaNS
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlDkEanFCO
"I sure hope so," I said478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtfPWI41r3
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMdW9pZM6g
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiqJyRIZHO
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9Z6LrLcxD
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlEBXwimmj
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZpiIWRVEH
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9A1jOsxYr
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQPSIGqQLJ
"You know computers are 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmBkwTYcIC
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8A2nff8Xa
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOOZdl1XwL
supposed to."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe48BYaJDme
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0g1em3o2a
I smiled. "You always call me that."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzfcGHy29D
"Ya, because you're smart too."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSf654jfjh
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLjU17z30m
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBw6UaXmbi
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPcwTyfVtr
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNCmSCSjlU
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxEkoPmjx1
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
