Hanging out at Times 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDjUaJlwr1
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbuQfvLBp6
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ182Q59f0vN
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9XMCTL33e
But that didn't matter. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0KTtPyVF3
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXdEyV8g6t
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5gZqXmkJR
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LNaEDoUO0
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E833Qv8IM
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIb0uuyuJh
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdUBiPii5k
actually played around with the adorable kids.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrlCqksj1d
There were plenty of 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSovTCz0BRG
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLhhoT70B4
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47UIRMV3F1
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERGUF0kJ7f
fans too.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeph6ZLkPX
The time we were done 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaTCAp0eG1
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCap1NIvbcB
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK16eDTMjxQ
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3TLUaGUz8
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW7eYpidLG
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhCYbuhJ3N
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2E9FHxJR9
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNeV3QWoMm
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qqFEMt2ym
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ6837VZgf
previous day, of course.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDZ1kxglqy
As much as the managers 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQIAegfevr
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3r7jA93YW
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPA6LZWkpx
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJN95ZB3Nw
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaKZwBPYJM
Right now, this very 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMdkVuw10Q
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cCg8BX5j8
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30czO08pRD
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB1X60jTcu
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohdKusAd24
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnAKijJJDf
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAi39Z4XZa
and I just couldn't take it.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxzpoU5EYq
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNPELiTLNa
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5581RxAbs
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg9wNMiNHJ
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1edxGgZdfT
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpQJGZzFea
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSuiNBlRyG
"I thought you said your plan would work."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nD0RV2VSK
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sQCaTOEaW
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDyXl9V7u7
I felt like slapping my 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb1lAkJkeY
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vB1HZo5Z0
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSZwG9xrQw
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1txauXrGO
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GjxOetr7D
off.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61Saj7HOHw
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lD4qIXqgr
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaECFOk2yUD
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGiRXxNc0L
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwXyn37Y7z
I shrugged. She read my 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR92yxrBMdo
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJWa9C3p5C
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6fBAkzK4k
me the whole time."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5tM42lSsR
I sat down on my bed as 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1rm8KBDEh
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6zCJC9FQW
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFNUkOUiYO
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP7ysjY01U
"Gosh, you really should789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhNyoG8Dyf
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48aR1sTkLQ
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs185oF5jj
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHBe5s0dH3
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRYcSXVFsr
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscFP2h9VxQ
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjet6jhZ5nJ
"Mike is annoying 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76a1UonFCk
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEilODpat9V
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIF062oMqy
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYEqhuvAgb
"You're right. I should burn him instead."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw5KpbLHTu
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVswcy2nXd7
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeRuvI16iq
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblOqskYCId
"Sorry, but just so you 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXIFrHxxiU
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz1UjPsqhh
that pic of you and him together."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq62WPMEMLD
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMzIdz1Fr8
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfspN7KSRh
I blushed and at the 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43ZVshAG6E
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgOEaYmPEN
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwNP6xi3tw
other hidden agenda.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKb18RA5nt
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP3U7QUMhx
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc3ximgRTU
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz5ZzZ6ikk
I sighed in surrender. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8XGHrjkdA
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL7mhaQskw
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAkfH2tQmd
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8LiPBGF8X
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."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1NPppnauR
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKr8yGbNg9
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oZaTlYClO
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9dQGFACeJ
Zoey had an excited look789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypHM6eTGzl
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y6EVPHm40
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcma6K3yvpY
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QsE3D79gs
clearly show all over her face.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7A8GaYojZ
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJjGuDn7yk
I shook my head. "And?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AkOagNlMO
Zoey folded her arms, 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGlPAUhTbN
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5ygKWpV6y
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinLfXNiN5p
"Hold that thought. This789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwvyhbIoYa
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5sJTyryBv
after Seunghoon posted that picture."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSw9yeGSN2
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3jFuQP24u
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgDGh9yGtl
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OMw94A1Dk
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSOsON6WbP
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeLudmxI6s
"Well, he hid in our closet."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgvcFDsxtI
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh3DqDO8ek
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDa7OIB992
"Ya, why?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKC7S6gzEX
"Looks like we just 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSud9JaCtiZ
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOZegxBK62
whom we consider perfect as our bias."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9sDZy34FX
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."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofMGJcuyKb
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iknDwJ6lM
"What do you mean? You 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2H2wQShvy
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwBwRe0Tum
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB55DKGxIl
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bELI8Zp6f
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nD3BfEklc
"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."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZI29BwYtL
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZWdYs1PDf
"I wanted to but I kept 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkqLqe2WPt
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNRsLyU85X
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8XtjRL9Ec
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrkaXJOJ92
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWA3BiLjmd
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaHAU3DkGy
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcqkW8hvN9
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NT6bZoiRX
I quickly stood up and 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4blYtXDPTh
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOAMd93uDR
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnwTUUA8rH
her back.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5irNNzfwXE
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrmdAaoh7N
"Zoey, you're going to 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjLsQKgEEF
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3GI6yfKyX
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5hBjoltAV
own hair pink in the next ten years."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16IhJ0KKax
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HOASQ95Sh
"You're lying."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDiEU79p7h
"I'm telling the truth!"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAljZVF9H3W
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUYmYXZM5C
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdfbeWOjzn
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMZCRIuHx1
"I can't tell you that."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXKMWDfT8w
"Why?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBUQccBu1z
"Because it's 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyQgDWa8FF
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvy4ftGx9l
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FW0jpl6kU
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDRg5Crmd0
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgYBBIM58H
"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."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVczBsMaWDc
"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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwpgEpvzUk
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKTKvmfDsG
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRSGLAZT8s
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGshG69BB64
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBLfbW8vLR
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YyV0iq4iB
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOodJfcIdAw
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwaiT9lxir
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TPec2wYt5
I playfully rolled my 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WE0aSZvcS
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpdLueA48h
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMMei95YK5
also looked worried.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyLes7Yyzw
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5CYVb6HCh
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddLcGO2SVY
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsFx51U3f8
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzazjS80bwM
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQFxu9RNtj
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQiC2OgHFy
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJEvvFGgMU
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve72ZgttPw
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIxLCmUnlK
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP82BpYI7g
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqN8dUyQmp
"Okay, first of all," 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL5hdTQHCB
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG6wodUHCC
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rb3BGnTjc
he wasn't mad at you."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3NBM2gamW
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEx5PrGmo8
"That, he couldn't say."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdeLe4iTLm
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFVqoJwutC
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxSGOucJP7
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPKVUI7Vh5
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbRZGb3NfH
Christine pressed the 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr75jwSUSgZ
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AaIdMXXZs
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NLpJdiBuo
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvRMBeVwPE
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxp0CjcmlN
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYpm4VOUOl
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS4QmMbRsm
We got to YG right on 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZABMwjnf0
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9OmIntaDM
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DX4EMqQEj
arrived a few seconds earlier.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhi4yPAdxu
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUGI098oHf
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hQEJQBXnK
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStzfPmc6t9
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARGM2TtH5P
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux59lzNyCS
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM07l6XTMuX
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9ROB8Qcv5
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZfn1P2caU
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qPqw2D1ZV
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFe29zwVTq
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy1rrStcuL
"There will be no such 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fLgDhYyyu
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqbqG0E12P
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshaxgbTFwW
"And you're making it 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9EOvcir4w
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD8Gl7f7KX
pouted his lip and scratched his head.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX26hLZ8HF5
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgUtXnpm2n
"Trust me, you don't 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIJHyhlOyz
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqigqI4uIw
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMAHW6tlqF
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRWGmayrl8
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhuIL3SN96
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFChCddnKu
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zEDLufqNS
"Look, whether they are 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mmq8bZ7gY
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35s0Eyiu9R
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16Ja7uPbWl
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpsIdAV2LO
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4WRJKnDSl
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoOnNDzwpB
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GqmsXgG09
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ0lGdhk5Z
I gave Lee a sad smile 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BYBBl5SnA
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X3PmDSQb9
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCFlscA9Zd
your life. Like suicide.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxonDfC32RI
We started our way 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsi4HMTPav
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdU7CvaChL
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkymdtGQTW
and my jean trousers. Nothing.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJChznwIGm
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zRxzRWfAK
I quickly ran out of the789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYNHhcDDi7
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VQcpYeia3
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD4IU4dH38
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88iER4lbom
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYg6KpdkFf
check for it inside.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvy8Awi1Im
When I got to the 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqL92lq7i5
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf7ejzTkgK
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53n5qHCTTM
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRx1dxjkcE
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSaggHaAem
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxml9yRnl9y
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0xyckODeH
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qe4hei3Fm
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCG4BizEU4
"Seriously, I can sue 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZTCKfW3fV
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhLvdpbB56
fast. I never even heard him coming.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnamhVOBTb
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8yeLd87Lc
"You're not my bodyguard789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHjQgwgtye
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KgnhzfjKn
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGnaoyG48h
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHnLgXE6Og
I blushed. "You know about that?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLExw2Q0mEN
"Everyone knows you have789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrz1pO5K2d
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZIkfGT14R
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFpqL3tsp6
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqtGn40MpP
"Looks like I did the 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNpthYLahe
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7pDpZmv1r
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW47cihngWV
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGw9fvvEpB
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl9OG3ASNI
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDfRF1nZpH
"And because you're a 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBtp1VUCFO
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInCz6vlE5P
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8Nws2Ftwm
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KcAbDIbmj
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMsmlbmuuJ
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ9jsKRMtn
"Can you at least tell 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNeoG5xfBE
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULZWmD9fMw
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFMvNJyjpI
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFcJNIfyCj
"What dramatic effect?" 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LdOEa3PR3
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsyRTN6zlr
came closer. I took a warning step back.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHXzIEmQSw
"If you hadn't followed 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt9CIzUT7W
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVpYl1IZ2l
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkLlbkzchY
room."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP0l9RF4Sa
"What surprise?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg95doOjcX
The elevator stopped and789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3jDtFa41I
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57AjwSTVXH
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9uuRZhN95
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOu5vVfuSx
Seunghoon and I stepped out.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGqr76OCae
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv9OXijPlh
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywtIc9VBpv
"I already have a guess," I said.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbbEHQblFz
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzrFq6dLAU
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDyrVS9mwt
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc0P9VlCB8
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpxKSgT5Bj
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Va4Z7OJob
When we reached the 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iKmZJcaNj
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqGCtjYgTp
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOFuRuE3Hp
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm6t9r9NhJ
In the conference room 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS47TwnHUB
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCYnW5IYuh
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHafVBIMgDQ
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3q1ehT07F
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEtadmvh3v
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnya8ulVIGy
though I did my best not to show it.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7LIVwIm4x
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1xPpfAQuR
I looked to the opposite789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DDOFhTk4w
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn6fOltmnv
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4eBqN99ol
turned their backs to us facing the wall.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHUegV2sRf
"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."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5whwhfPqU5
G-Dragon quickly turned 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU75ZBhV3g
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBZtQCfbO2
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhAwMV3ZvP
"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?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYKpPa0RZR
"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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5yEgLBh0W
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6gGsjCBq7
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuXbOeTALz
"Wait," said Lisa who 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fWNRaWSsN
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTD3m9zOOo
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAIYG63Ifp
"It felt simple and 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7fjXYcOrV
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtWCuPhZFH
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8HmOybpnF
with G-Dragon today."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNQIQ38hak
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYrqipfEIp
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETqReXcSbY
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6GqmaXbWA
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyvHcHFlmO
"Ya, I know I'm a 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3VncjGOrE
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFkNyVW9oK
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS3bFvQtXn
"If you mean us getting 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nnnIrknZS
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uaQqXDuKD
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIDMhVVK66
by coincidence."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzau1a2eQOK
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0o0X2dGcv
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8YOuEGcMW
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyxVehxA5O
The rest of the BTW crew789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QGmKY8wBV
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmdMgKGIRj
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHV7H0HIxM
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh66HuAgxr
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtQF1dG7Nb
"Hold up," said Zoey who789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz6bBTiKsx
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8w3AgbTDF
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz57hlKGcKX
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRCPJhnoFX
"Told you we'll 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXfx2r5bWJ
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM8MmylV1f
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWODNWunTO
"But is he going to do 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlFGK2G65F
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw56oX8bM6
didn't really meet by coincidence."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUdp1ujdIO
There was silence in the789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoCEohBBGC
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7qiVoW175
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ562lBMVRi6
planning to do.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfv0Ry3VTR
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8fNIVjwMy
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbBzwVq7st
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyz4nkMz9U
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe970cwKszO
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXcZWngr2u
"And also because he's 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1782QT6YR1
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EpmUdpAjl
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8KMT93ZfL
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMccJyC38t6
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1rM1Ane9w
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIMwoRc3Bz
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxBnQwZgsh
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnqGNuR2Zc
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CE4e9ctYd
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvj1wJIVoo
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsjVfHKn6v
G-Dragon smiled. He had 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM0ksLWbsh
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YQ8M9Ahak
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMPfAblJLK
deal with G-Dragon instead.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydbq1fI7ZS
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIajCzwrhD7
"What do you want?" I asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuUwMPC6Th
G-Dragon looked at me as789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHjTkejQBS
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmogEMoNbRM
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDEACwr6bx
came to any conclusions.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q5AbiLcBo
"To make things clear 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgPasnCyKZ
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJN3jc2s0R
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bXVVtiGuX
thinking about doing the same thing."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB9BKcUOe4
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBMOlnEuKP
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQA4IsYTIC
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRIly94MZo
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH3eumgIKt
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfoIGrAClK
"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."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR3Wm6eOfF
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlthPz7E3gS
"All's fair in love and 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mBEHlcVmR
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuAGxcvg1M
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxJCc5OqXN
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWUCwl14cx
"Come on," Christine 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUKXd5NFHs
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cEgMOQite
won't be here for long and you know it."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaORmou7GTs
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpq77Qjojr
"BTW is nothing but a 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWxyS2W4Lh
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pf6wf4PJj
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2iJIFwJBy
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaWf608T2b
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDTvqlImji
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlat0GB8Tt4
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0YM7mNepS
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpSCdpcA5g
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YbB3MfkuT
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlDkQqiZow
"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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbJKseSxzq
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4Y4BspSAl
Upon saying that, the 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT7oQzk8QZ
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYOw1o0zxy
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxh1ow84Dp
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIVBkTti9n
seated stood up.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MoEhcgiV1
I gulped. I hope the 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgFifjit2Y
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciKd8mJ0be
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6pHDRgwYb
The two managers had 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWnZLhUfiC
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK21AWR9nw4
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp0pR8gpvv
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nnv1cRH0T
is wrong.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyci1s8RauW
"Good that you're all 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG5kROTZTw
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAK5cZGhdL
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBb8QtgGN3
I have always hated it 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg5ju945oK
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNvULxLcuw
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEADk41w4ky
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88O06FV9uy
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa4B5iTuJ0
their seats.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpbyMHZGy7
The two managers and Lee789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNLjmFg1IJ
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehqJZ9x5S3
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQhZLrsr4M
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBPanmnunX
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIiR2XsEy1
was.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N96FyBCdL
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cde8lnOsm
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScACZWXvwp
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHebxCmMZOC
Zoey sighed loudly in 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOopWWssObq
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ1aZRiulT
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71bc4Jec4U
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEXWfakeww
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS8JQvhFXk
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rQk4Dp3pM
The two managers 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ii24z4eci
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZegc9Wucrz
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQVdIqsZNT
That was so not cool.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0py38D9Rp
"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."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySRy0p3mix
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMTCtfIHsT
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82GXFAf9o9
My ears perked up when 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIrNBNvCoo
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis69Xxwer1
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoz1dBe7GA
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLQDpLfPVx
"We heard you outside 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO1MTEiX37
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjjv4rjfP6
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv66zJeC4HF
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjOiXOpHqJ
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLJW2yo7pp
"Yes, Sam. For real," 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwol5lUp1H4
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh0QXWeZt3
through further scrutiny about this decision."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGIfW7BzvP
I smiled. Even if they 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPzEZl52OD
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rn11iBMQY
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIju6dx8GI
There was an exciting 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYRSwrXXtL
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrsZjRNrZ7
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBN34INAf9
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjuOqTyqu7
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PuPigeJ9V
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQgy3dO9rO
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1r9cI62Fu
I turned to my other 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBuvA4LNMt
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifxQJFJaMA
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFEbRHR9Rq
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz3gBHct4w
now, didn't matter.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlEDvit7A4
"You heard them when 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdOi2BCFbe
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9CjWK8Cgl
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVjnmnZ21I
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W0Ojch4bq
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A2VlVBHRC
"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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnGA4R3NVn
This time it was me, or I789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGaDnUzDjl
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr1UNO5SKA
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP3ztoyVGy
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnQJqUcjS7
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlPxAM9ViX
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6SKwMeqb8
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzVay4LWb2
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h6jIwerfp
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNylmKc5d9U
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxGlVvGffn
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwDhNMo3iF
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiiTs1uka1
"We all agree," said Daniel.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0dMFvl1vc
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhLXpa0aJC
"But just because it 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMNq6iS0WB
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8LRJyjbj1
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gOgBNhA9t
"Okay, so that's settled789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oDI63tgJt
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWkWzmaytx
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs9uoL1CXr
BTW official."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbGXDrFwhi
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dwcohpNSg
I noticed that most of 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS9VT7QaHq
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQhU5MLauV
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWUvx0ikQS
when she looked at me and I grinned.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G8era9FST
"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."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxDG6fDb6f
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxFu2M5jLd
"Before we make BTW 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoiG2FzaZN
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRU8p0e5Ci
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQWWHPVvSp
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnAEKlv2YQ
low for a while. Is that good?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPnDGVUCVS
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvxw4bWQcv
"That's fair enough," 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy21m9Ib4W
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtOQkicZcD
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZoS1rB4ho
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8IWwt9tes
so."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIte8mOiF9
"So you want to crush 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzKNZugY9S
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtBo3aJOFb
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsItJ1J9vlY
strategy."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6TbTu4bsc
"Then if all is well and789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXv30le4KA
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P7avmkYrh
updated and not a word on social media."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd9nc51mrh
I stood up from my seat 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3fLb4NgQO
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CwdsmDo5y
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIwZGEp4nP
walk out, I stopped them.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IKwuiL2z9
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yyfzqCWBw
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzf269SqXh
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6kdvFnZIl
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov5yyw1RHF
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj79QZ5fSr
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w1Mh6VNFH
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKufPyAKos
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgGXhEJiyW
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IMFI3IIon
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzpwDs5LUs
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSHSpFyHrD
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLrZLxXdPO
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSv5Ptu8w1
"This is like the best 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPboh22Yk1O
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzmnDf0sU6
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwFM2szHdd
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkPucEeCCw
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f2W6f8w7A
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXcq7c64ns
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBBWix6LuU
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtBcFhgq5h
"I knew there was a 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM9BrtWoLE
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwezTb6A0I5
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dTH2maB53
G-Dragon.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7N0n7CQGd
"You knew?" Christine asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2qtiDHsyV
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypgarqmoW2
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZVNatsfvw
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2yNMSSF6z
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk67zZ3cKf
"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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRqnFSMaBx
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4qNQVBnZx
"Well, you guys can tell789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PCs8lULGm
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqrs5jWHQb
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHbAtzhFMJ
aren't going to go into the same car."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz69m41o2xZ
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllFvNZl3oO
Everyone else started to789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n8bVHxkqH
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86YNGqcbAZ
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNRmpCrQBa
only G-Dragon and I.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNugFitiiZ
"I'm mad at you," I started.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEQFAD9SqB
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW1w405kK9
"Save it." I held my 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YurdH1JBt
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53pvVKKoU2
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6NIoWaDkJ
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjXJAiSIeR
a war again."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GWG1hOWkT
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgPrKfv1GI
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXNlsMBS3P
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwyePsOFCO
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L1rAdDXm5
G-Dragon looked at me 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xqcTTo4bD
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQdlORtBui
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfWH0O6Mfi
stab in the heart.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMbcnK4HqJ
"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."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoDzfVrj7n
"You know, the others 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTcIXmEIKH
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eMNy07wNz
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QOf03twkE
with WINNER yesterday."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiJd0ap4Or
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB67pjsXrI
I nodded my head. What I789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCQ1B5DqoC
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2wkb9eB65
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSjQP0amb0
of Seunghoon and I.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzlQ9fWZRJ
"You know you and I can 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2BwL8c5rB
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg0ozaCGMR
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJlo67E5cr
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOKwYCadTN
down the rocks."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWckQHjAw2
I headed for the door 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlL9csMBgE
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjoupdgdVG
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDfzE3r72I
Zoey, waiting.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGh5X6hceU
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qIQ5l0oio
"I sure hope so," I said789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjeXMqtFti
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6D1LyaOAO
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIRDBZymPE
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEH0ENtJbj
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj9tFGEBuf
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXiNbGpcfv
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNINWQ6h3BA
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Cd4GjcvHR
"You know computers are 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWWw2BGJaF
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uqqQdzhX4
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70YRfFaXpH
supposed to."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpiMzqvHnu
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoso2o2yB7P
I smiled. "You always call me that."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U0aeipDxJ
"Ya, because you're smart too."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVGCXMM5Rc
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFs73fpHbO
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEUf2GSocx
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmK5G83zLF
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdIMkaQvNI
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBRT3FtK1y
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
