Chapter 16: Boys' Night Out (Part 1)

Mike's P.O.V

"You guys were so awesome yesterday," said Jennie as she walked right next to me as we headed towards the YG main building. "It's too bad that you didn't win."

"If you ask me, we were way better than they were," said Zoey.

"I totally agree," said Lisa, nodding her head.

"Can we please stop talking about yesterday," I said.

"What's wrong with you now, Mike?" Zoey asked as she turned around so as to look at me.

"Nothing, I just want to get myself ready for tonight. And talking about the dance battle isn't doing me any good."

"What's for tonight?" Jisoo asked.

"Oh, it's nothing really," said Daniel.

We were now walking into the lobby and heading straight to the elevator.

"He's just saying that because something awesome is going on tonight," said Christine.

"What's happening tonight?" Rosé asked.

"It's nothing," I cut in quickly before Zoey could blurt anything out. "It ain't important."

"Well, it's important to me," said Zoey as we reached the elevator.

Daniel pressed the down button to the summon the elevator. "Give it a break, Zoey," he said. "You've been on us about it since morning."

"No, I haven't," Zoey defended herself.

"Yes, you have," said Christine, giving Zoey the eye.

"About what?" Lisa asked. "You guys really like leaving us anticipated over everything."

"Tell me about it," said Jennie.

The doors to the elevator slid open and we all stepped in. Before the door closed, I looked over at the main entrance to see if there was any sign of Sam or anyone coming with her from the studio.

"You should have seen Zoey this morning," said Christine immediately the doors closed and she pressed one of the floor buttons. "She couldn't stop pestering the boys."

"Over what?" Jisoo asked. "We've been asking that a million times already. She was also pestering them during practise so we were wondering what was going on."

I looked over at Daniel who wanted to answer. He caught my eye and kept his mouth shut. But I gave him a nod to go ahead anyway.

"She wants to join Mike and I tonight to attend a baseball game," Daniel answered.

"You're a fan of baseball?" Rosé asked as she looked at Zoey.

"Yes, I am," said Zoey.

"No, you're not," Christine, Daniel and I answered at the same time.

Zoey stamped her foot on the elevator floor. "Dang it!"

The doors soon flew open. We had reached the shower rooms and we all stepped out of the elevator.

"But why can't she join you?" Lisa asked.

"Because, it's a boys' night out," I answered looking at Zoey. "And no girls allowed."

"Oh, who are you going with?" Jennie asked.

"EXO," Zoey answered. She still didn't sound too happy that we will be going with them.

"I bet it's going to be a blast," said Jennie giving me a huge grin. I couldn't help but feel my cheeks heat up for a moment.

"We better go get ready," said Daniel as he already started his way heading to the right side to the boy's shower rooms. "Let's go, bro."

"See you tomorrow," I said to all the BlackPink members.

They waved back and said bye and headed to the left towards the girl's shower rooms with Zoey and Christine. I followed Daniel down the hall.

A few minutes later, when I was done in the shower and walking out in my towel, I heard Seunghoon singing out loud from one of the showers. He and the rest of WINNER and BigBang had come in a good ten minutes later when Daniel and I were already in the showers.

I shook my head at Seunghoon's singing. It could only mean one thing. I headed towards the lockers where I already found my brother dressing up. He was putting on his long sleeved blue cashmere t-shirt.

"Seunghoon has been singing forever, don't you think?" Daniel asked as he sat down on the bench and was putting on his black and white kicks.

"It's annoying," Mino answered before I did, appearing before us around the lockers. His long blonde dyed hair wet and was drying it with another towel.

"Don't tell me he was troubling Sam the whole time," I said as I rolled my eyes.

Mino only gave a snicker as he headed to the lockers opposite the ones I was getting my clothes from. He didn't have to say anything. We already knew.

Before we left the studio, Seunghoon and Sam were having a chat. Somehow, instead of a normal chat Seunghoon kind of turned things around and ended up messing with Sam instead. The four of us Toxins and BlackPink left the place, thinking it wasn't that much of a big deal to be there and that Sam would handle it. Besides, the rest of WINNER and BigBang were there, so, nothing much to worry about.

"How did things end with Sam and him?" Daniel asked Mino.

"Fine. She managed to get away somehow," said Mino. "She runs so fast."

"That's how she managed to get away from us last night," I said as I quickly took out a bottle of lotion.

After we had our dance battle with Monsta X last night, Sam had run out on us for us to catch her after Jooheon had caught Zoey. Her condition was whosoever caught her before she reached the car downstairs, the next catch game would take place and she would be the main target. Besides, the two groups all set their own conditions on whosoever caught Sam in the next game. Apparently, she set up a condition of her own, catching us completely off guard. As usual she ended up finding herself in the car. That meant no catch game. Bummer.

"Sam is really full of surprises, isn't she?" Mino asked.

"Why do you think I like her?" answered Seungri who also appeared behind the lockers.

I rolled my eyes upon hearing Seungri. He never stops praising Sam when anyone of us ever talks about her. Not that I like it or anything. Sam is special and I won't deny it. I'm actually really proud that she's my sister. Most guys I know like Sam, if  not have a crush on her like Seungri and Seunghoon. Not to mention G-Dragon who gets rather annoyed when anyone talks about Sam the way Seungri just did.

"We know that, Seungri," said Daniel. I noticed him roll his eyes as well. Looked like he knew it was coming just like I did.

"Just so you know, I also like her," said Mino.

"I thought you liked Zoey," said Seungri as he went to his locker.

"It's just a compliment. I really like Zoey. Sam is nice, that's why I said that."

"Be quiet or else, G-Dragon and Seunghoon might hear you," I said.

"Too late, heard every word," came G-Dragon's voice.

G-Dragon and Taeyang came from behind the lockers together in towels wrapped around their waists. Everyone around was quiet. I was all dressed up and ready to leave.

"Don't get too upset like you usually do, GD," said Daniel as he stood up from the bench.

"I'm not upset," said G-Dragon. "Why should I be?"

"Well...." I looked up at the ceiling, "whenever Sam's name is mentioned, you always get this funny look on your face."

"No, I don't," said G-Dragon casually shrugging his shoulders. I couldn't help but snicker.

"What?" he asked looking at me.

"Nothing, it's just that you have that look right now," I answered.

Mino and Seungri looked into their lockers trying to ignore the whole thing but they couldn't help but snicker then burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" G-Dragon asked looking confused.

"Mike was right when he said you have this look on your face when someone talks about Sam," said Mino as he turned to G-Dragon his eyes almost filled with tears. "I've to admit, he's right."

Seungri quickly stopped laughing and went back to fetching things in his locker when he felt Ji Yong's eyes on him.

"Whatever," G-Dragon completely brushed it off and went to his locker.

"Well, that was something," said Taeyang as he came to his locker next to mine. "You don't tell Sam what happens in here, do you?"

Daniel gave out a laugh. "No freaking way," he answered. "She would be ignoring you guys if we ever did."

"Besides, what are bros for?" I asked shrugging my shoulders. "What ever happens amongst us stays with us no matter what."

"Ya, you're right," Taeyang said with a smile.

"Hey, where are you guys heading to anyway?" Seungri asked.

"Why do you want to know?" I asked as I wore my shoes.

"Well, Zoey was onto you two begging for you to take her with you," Seungri answered as he looked at me. "So I was wondering what was up since she seemed so persistent."

"Zoey is always persistent," Seungyoon answered as he quickly appeared around the lockers from the showers.

"I was about to say that," said Mino looking at him with a smile on his face.

"True that," said Daniel.

"I also noticed it too," said Taeyang. "So, where are you going? And how come Zoey isn't coming with you?"

"She isn't the only one whose coming with us," I answered. "It's a boys' night out."

"Oh, cool," said Jinwoo as he also came from the showers. "Did I just hear a boys' night out?"

"Yep, we are going for a baseball game with EXO," said Daniel.

"Cool," said G-Dragon.

"Now I see why Zoey was so persistence," said Mino. "It's EXO."

"Ya, but too bad she isn't coming, and I don't care," I said with a smirk.

"It's great that she isn't going," said Daniel. "At least we get to have a breather away from the girls."

"Especially Zoey," I added. "I hope the girls are ready. Sam said we would leave early today considering that we have to meet EXO at the hotel."

"Sam is so reasonable," said Seungri. "She doesn't want you to be late and miss out on the fun at all."

"That's why she's my sister," I said with a smile as I looked at G-Dragon who had that funny look on his face again, "and our leader."

Upon saying that, my phone on the bench beeped. I had a message. I quickly picked it up and found a message from Sam saying that she was waiting for us with the others at the elevator.

"We better get going," I said as I quickly took my gym bag out of my locker. Daniel already had his out and on the bench. "They are waiting."

"Okay, have a nice time," said Mino.

Daniel and I said bye to the others and made our way out of the shower room. TOP and Seunghoon were still having a shower. We loudly said goodbye to them and we were soon in the corridor heading to the elevator. As stated earlier in the message Sam sent me, we found the other three Toxins waiting for us.

"Good, are you all ready?" Sam asked as she looked our way and we came closer.

"Totally," Daniel answered.

"We better go. Suho called and said he would be by the hotel with the others in twenty minutes. So we better be there early because I don't want to take any chances."

I smiled at my sister. She has always been the punctual type. Even if she wasn't going for the baseball game, she wanted us to be early no matter what.

She pressed the down button to the elevator and when the door opened and we all got in, Zoey couldn't help but snort.

I smirked. That only meant one thing.

"I am so not happy about this," Zoey blurted out like a little child.

Bingo.

"Give it a break, Zoey," said Christine. "We're so tired of your tantrums. You aren't a child anymore."

"I know that. It's just that, I so much as wanted to go out with EXO too."

"There will be time for that later," said Sam. "Let the boys have fun for a change."

Zoey opened her mouth to say something but I noticed Sam look at her through the corner of her eye. Zoey closed her mouth and looked up at the ceiling. I continued to smirk, thankful for Sam for putting Zoey in her place. Looked like Daniel was also relaxed telling from his body language. It seems he wasn't comfortable of Zoey complaining over the same thing.

When we reached the lobby, we headed out straight into the car park. Lee wasn't going to ride with us back to the hotel since she was quiet busy today concerning the big event coming up.

A few minutes later we were at the hotel on our floor. Daniel and I had put our gym bags away in our room and went to the lounge to wait for EXO to pick us up.

"Guys, will it be okay if...," said Zoey as she came into the lounge.

"No!" Daniel and I said at the same time, folding our arms.

"Awh, come on, you guys!" Zoey pleaded with her hands clapped together. "Can I please, please come? I promise I'll never trouble you like I usually do."

"No way," said Daniel. "You want us to take you with us? It's a boys' night out for crying out loud."

"But I really want to come."

"There are only two tickets meant for Daniel and I. There is no third person involved," I said.

Sam soon came in the lounge. She looked at us then at Zoey who still had that pleading look on her face.

"They are here," Sam announced, ignoring Zoey.

"May I at least escort you two down to the lobby?" Zoey asked.

"No, you won't. I'll be taking them there. You on the other hand might act clingy on EXO. Let's go, guys."

"You're so not fair, Sam," said Zoey as she followed Sam, Daniel and I to the elevator.

"I am as fair as I can ever be," said Sam as she pressed the button to the elevator and the doors immediately flew open. Daniel and I stopped inside first.

Just as Sam was going in, Zoey was about to do the same until a hand appeared from behind and held her shoulder so as to stop her from getting her foot in the elevator. Christine's hand.

"What the....! Christine?" Zoey looked behind and looked surprised by the sight of Christine.

"Bye, Zoey," I waved at her as the elevator doors started to close.

Even when the doors closed shut before us, I heard Zoey's whining. Sam pressed the button to the lobby and within seconds, the door flew open.

Upon stepping in the lobby, we immediately saw Suho and Chanyeol waiting for us. They smiled upon seeing us come out of the elevator. I had a hunch that those smiles weren't for Daniel and I.

"Hey," said Sam when we were within a few feet away from the two EXO members.

"Hi," the two replied with big grins on their faces. I wanted to slap my forehead in annoyance. It could clearly show that they were so into my sister. When guys look at her like that, I can't help but try and hide my irritation.

"So, these two are ready to go and I wanted to see them off," said Sam. "Take care of them for me, okay? I wouldn't want them getting into any trouble."

"Don't worry, they will be safe with us," said Chanyeol.

"We aren't babies anymore, Sam," I said as I looked at her.

"But mum always refers you as babies," she said raising her eyebrow at me.

"'Her babies'," I rephrased. "But Daniel is her Honey Bear, though."

"Mike!" Daniel looked at me with a look telling me to shut up.

"Well, have fun you two," said Sam as she turned to look at Daniel and I. Then she turned to Suho and Chanyeol. "Say hi to the others for me."

"Will do," said Suho. "Goodnight, Sam."

Sam smiled at them and quickly made her way to the elevator. Good. Now the boys' night out can begin.

"Come on, the others are waiting outside," said Chanyeol as he led the way with Suho.

"This is going to be so awesome," said Daniel as we followed them out of the hotel. We found an SUV car waiting out in the parking lot.

The car door flew open and there in the car were happy faces of EXO.

"Hey, guys!" said Kai.

"Hey," Daniel and I greeted everyone else at the same time.

"Isn't Sam with you?" Baekhyun who sat at the back of the SUV asked.

"No, we met her at the lobby and she was saying hi to you all," said Suho.

Baekhyun and the rest of the EXO members in the car sighed. I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. It looks like they all wanted to see Sam.

"Wow," I couldn't keep what I had to say in any longer. "You really wanted to see Sam, didn't you?"

"Well, ya," answered D.O. "It's too bad that we will have to see her another time."

"Luckily, I saw her," said Chanyeol with a corky smile on his face.

"Just wipe that smile off your face, Chan," said Sehun with an annoyed look on his face. "It's so not funny."

"Get in guys, we are going to be late," said Suho as he looked at Daniel and I.

I got into the car and then Daniel and Suho followed. Chanyeol went in the front passenger seat. There was already a driver in the driver's seat. As soon as we were all settled, the driver started the car and drove away from the hotel.

"How is Sam by the way?" Xiumin asked.

"Oh, she's fine," said Daniel. "Isn't anyone going to ask how the other girls are?"

"Oh, we know that they are okay," said Lay who sat behind us and was looking through his phone. "At least they always post something online everyday."

"Ya, Sam is different apparently," I said.

"I still like her," said Chen.

Every EXO muttered in agreement. Daniel and I didn't say anything.

"Well, you're lucky that Zoey didn't come along with us," I said. "She would scratch all of you, even if she isn't a cat."

"Why? Because we aren't talking about her?" Sehun asked.

"Pretty much," answered Daniel. "She would be really disappointed."

"If not heartbroken," I said as I rolled my eyes.

"You should've seen the way she's been bugging us the whole day," said Daniel. "She really wanted to come along with us to the baseball game."

"Well, as far as I know, Zoey isn't much of a baseball fan," said Suho who sat next to Daniel.

"Our point exactly," I said. "And besides, it's a boys' night out."

"True," said D.O.

"You should have seen how she pleaded with us," said Daniel.

"It was ridiculous," I said as I laughed.

This was the perfect time to make fun of Zoey, since she wasn't around. I continued to tell the guys how she kept pleading with us and I made a lot of funny expressions. They couldn't help but laugh. Daniel also joined in telling the story.

"Oh my gosh!" Chen couldn't stop laughing as he slid down the chair. "You guys are killing me."

Chanyeol couldn't stop laughing in the front seat. He had tears in his eyes. "Stop it, you two. Before we end up blurting all of this out to Zoey the next time we meet."

"What can she say about that?" I asked. "Even if we were to make fun of her, she would be glad that we were talking about her anyway."

Daniel laughed so hard. "That's so true," he said.

"Oh, we are finally here," said Suho.

I looked out of the window. We had arrived at the Jamsil baseball stadium that is situated next to the Seoul Olympic Stadium. Home of baseball teams LG Twins and Doosan Bears. But at the moment, LG Twins was the team playing and hosting Lotte Giants.

When the car parked right in the parking lot, we stepped out of the car. The air outside was cool and it was amazing.

We made our way to the stadium and we headed to the gates where we found a queue. Lucky enough, they weren't too long and moving pretty fast. We joined one of the queues while we had a chat.

"Who do you think is going to win, Mike?" Xiumin asked me as he stood right behind me in the line.

"Too be honest, I'm not sure who to go for since I didn't really get to read any of the team's stats before coming here," I answered. "But I'll have to go for the home team."

"I think I'm going for Lotte Giants," said Chanyeol who stood in front of Daniel.

"I'm for the LG Twins," said Xiumin.

"As usual," said Baekhyun, standing behind Xiumin.

"Who wants to place a bet on whichever team is going to win?" Chanyeol asked with a devious smile on his face.

I displayed the same smile. "I thought you would never ask," I said, rubbing my hands together.

"This is going to be fun," said Sehun who was standing right in front of Chanyeol and had turned around upon hearing the bet.

"Okay, so what's going to be the condition if the team loses?" Daniel asked, standing in front of me.

"It has to be something so ridiculous," I said as I laughed.

"Don't tell me you're planning a bet right now," called Suho who was way ahead of us. We were coming close to the ticket stand.

"Of course we are," Chanyeol called out to his leader. "What fun is the game if we don't put up a bet?"

I saw Suho roll his eyes but smile at the same time.

"Are you in it or not, Suho?" I asked. He turned to look at me.

"Of course I am," Suho answered as he looked at me.

Just as we were deciding who will support which team, a few heads from other queues turned to us. We hadn't even noticed that there were a few fans. The only time I realised that a few of our fans had seen us was when we heard giggles coming from the other queue.

I looked up and noticed a group of girls giggling and waving at us. Oh goodness! Fame could be such a curse sometimes.

"Yikes," said Chen who was behind Baekhyun. "We better get going. How far are we till the ticket stand?"

As though Chen's prayer was answered, two security officers came over to us. Looked they had already seen what was going on.

One of them said, "please come with us, we will escort you inside."

The two security officers took us to the ticket stand. Those in front of us at first even had to make way and they also grew excited at the sight of superstars. Some even had their phones out and took pictures as usual.

As soon as we gave away our tickets, we were escorted up to our seats on one of the stands in the stadium. We thanked the two security guards for helping us out to get to our seats. We even took selfies and pictures with them.

One thing I loved about watching such sport in the stadium was that you get to interact with a lot of people. We met many fans where we sat and we took so many pictures with them before the game started. We would have sat in the VIP box if we wanted to, but Suho said it wouldn't be any fun than being out with the rest of the people.

Before the game started, I reminded Lay, D.O and Daniel who were closer to me about the bet.

"We should remind the others about the bet and that we haven't set up a condition yet," I said.

"Ya, you're right," said Lay who sat to my right. "I'll remind them from my side."

"I'll tell the others this side as well," said D.O who sat at the left side of Daniel.

As soon as the message was passed on, I turned to the left and then to the right. I could see others discussing over what the condition was going to be and who they would go for. Soon, Lay nudged me on my shoulder. Daniel leaned in to listen.

"Chanyeol, Kai, Sehun and Suho are up for Lotte Giants," said Lay.

"And who are you going for?" Daniel asked him.

"I'm going for the home team. Oh, and Suho suggests that whoever wins, will be the ones to set the condition on what to do to those who lose."

I shook my head. "Fair enough. I have fantastic stupid ideas of what the losing side is going to do."

Lay gave me a smirk. "Let's just see what will happen if LG Twins wins."

"It's going to be epic." I stared at the pitch.

I felt a nudge again and this time from Daniel. I looked at him and I noticed that D.O had come with a reply.

"So, what are the others saying?" I asked.

"Xiumin, Baekhyun and Chen are for LG Twins," said D.O. "I'm going for them too."

"Great. Suho suggested that the winning team will decide on what the losers are going to do."

"That's fine. Who are you going for, Daniel?"

"I would like to stay on a neutral ground for this one," answered Daniel. "I'm just going to be a spectator and nothing else."

"Why?" Lay asked. "Scared of what would happen if you lose?"

"Pretty much," said Daniel. "I mean, I wouldn't like to go against Mike here. He comes up with the most ridiculous conditions if you were to lose a bet."

I gave Daniel a smirk. He really knew me after all.

"Really?" D.O asked.

"Ask the other Toxins. Zoey is the one whose been on the worst receiving end the most."

"Not to worry, we will only see when the game ends," I said.

As soon as I said that, there was a loud cheer from the massive crowd that filled the stadium. The two teams had come on the pitch and soon enough the game was underway. LG Twins in their black and white baseball uniforms started off as the fielding team (the defense) and Lotte Giants the batting team (The offence).

The game was great and apparently it was kind of difficult to get into the next inning because the team batting wasn't going out so easily.

The game took almost two hours but it was exciting anyway and at the end of all nine innings, LG Twins won the game with the most runs. I was so happy. The two hours and forty five minutes were completely worth it.

Just as we left the stadium and headed to the car, I couldn't wait for what was to come next.

I was walking with Daniel, Xiumin, Chen and D.O towards the car. The others were way behind us. I bet the other four who had thought Lotte Giants were going to win were thinking about what they were going to do now.

"Should we come up with a condition now?" Xiumin asked. "Our team won the game after all."

"I bet Mike already has something," said D.O.

"Oh really?" Chen asked.

"Mike comes up with the most ridiculous conditions if you lose a bet," said Daniel. "That's why I didn't want to be involved in this game."

"So what have you come up with, Mike?" Xiumin asked.

I am glad he asked. I turned my head and saw the others still behind us. I smiled. We were going to have a lot of fun.

As soon as we reached the car, I turned to Xiumin to answer his question, "let's wait for the others to get here. Then we can get this show on the road."

"With that smile on your face, I just have to expect the worst from you," said Daniel.

Baekhyun, Lay, Suho, Kai, Sehun and Chanyeol soon joined us by the car.

"Aigoo," said Suho. "It's such a bum that we lost."

"Ya, you did. And now that you lost, it's time for your judgement day," said D.O with a smile on his face.

"We know that," said Chanyeol. "You don't have to remind us."

"Can we get this over with?" Sehun asked. "Tell us what we have to do."

"You will do what we say, alright," said Baekhyun. "But first, let's grab something to eat. I'm starving."

"Whose up for pizza?" Suho asked.

Everyone agreed. We had a really long game that the snacks we had wasn't enough for our bellies. Now I understood Sam when she said boys eat too much.

"Okay, then after that, we go to the mall," I said.

"Why the mall?" Kai asked with his eyebrow russes. "Don't tell me you plan on doing something really embarrassing to us there."

"Oh, no, Kai." I shook my head. "We aren't going to do it at the mall. Besides, we haven't figured out what you're going to do."

"Then why are we going to the mall?" Chen asked.

"Oh, you will see. Let's go eat first, I'm so starved."

We all went into the the car and the driver took us to the pizza parlour where we ordered almost twenty boxes of large sized pizzas. The fans were going to be surprised when they see the pictures of us eating and finishing all twenty pizzas. We even had a eating competition between Daniel and Sehun on who was going to finish one large sized pizza on time. Daniel ended up finishing the whole pizza in minutes. Sehun was already too full that he couldn't go on any further.

"That's why I'm the pizza king," said Daniel who leaned back on the seat and tapped his tummy. Even when he had eaten so much, his stomach didn't bulge as much as some of us did.

"You're the junk food king, bro," I corrected him as I sat down next to him. "How is that you're not even full?"

"We had almost three long hours at the Jamsil stadium. Trust me, the little snacks were like air in my stomach."

Kai almost burst out laughing. "Sam isn't going to be too happy that you ate all that pizza alone," he said.

"Mum won't be either," I said. "She did tell Sam to watch over his diet."

"Well, Sam isn't here and we were just having fun," said Daniel. "I know she won't mind for tonight."

"True." I shrugged my shoulders.

"Okay," said Xiumin who sat upright. He also ate a little too much and was so full. "Now it's time for those who lost the bet, to get the punishment they deserve."

"Spoken like a judge and executioner," said Lay with the corner of his lips raised to a smile. "I like it."

"I think I have an idea," said Baekhyun.

"If it's dancing naked in front of you, I am not doing that," said Chanyeol shaking his head.

"Okay, disturbing," I said shaking off the image that was about to form in my own head.

"Let Mike share what he had thought of at first," said D.O.

"Yes, Mike tell us," said Chen.

"Okay, if you really insist," I said as I leaned my elbows on the table and looked at everyone with a smile on my face.

This boys' night was just getting started. And it's going to be a blast.
