I poured myself a cup of orange juice as I looked at Christine who sat across from me at the table, having a bite of her toast. I looked at her and realised that she seemed more vibrant today. Was it because of the extra sleep we had yesterday?744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkvybehH68
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBcd3q0rNC
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiZ3lNDKAJ
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZpXPVWLwi
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy3UzFWLS0
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeBdOYgWA0
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzltXt8wjNG
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gTrXMJ2S5
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9rrzVpHo1
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDnJizBYqj
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAevLZyNl7
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkRbP3k1Vp
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqIGArIwcU
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeGntTwI1H
"Really?" Zoey asked as she looked at me and held her cheeks with her fingers as though she was massaging them. "Do I look like extra extra pretty?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNeTR5WgRH
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBwfETcm1u
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6jeCM8FtN
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICiqHjnvin
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIz1aPSrXo
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR6C8VKltX
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGHUdHYcaH
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEXqgqhdh1
"What's with Zoey feeling like she's all pretty?" Mike asked as he took a seat right next to Christine and Daniel sat right next to Zoey.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xRhKf8MQH
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTW9UNYxSA
"Can't you see that I'm glowing?" Zoey asked as she beamed at Mike. "Sam says the extra sleep we had must have helped."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d3reiHOIC
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa63YHJiZHZ
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlsKLmBB4Z
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySh7vfvEEC
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM35Q8M7faa
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s9G19mzin
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBnRluFXns
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiGRmWx1uy
"Mmm..., funny," said Zoey as she lifted her toast and looked at it like she was observing it. "I haven't been on my phone since last night."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGw2E3xNxc
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyO8uYsJzM
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIucF3GTJvb
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJQuOj9yA3
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zJR1LBoQa
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3rVyIVwfY
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtqRR1ttHO
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0mbdS19cb
After we went to catch up on sleep yesterday afternoon, we woke up around 7PM and we all met in the lounge where we ended up playing board games with Lee. Before supper, Collins arrived and joined in on the fun and we told him about our progress on the new song. After supper, we all sat down to watch the Korean drama series, "Boys Over Flowers." We went to bed an hour early before our usual bedtime.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5XUFfFdJW
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiFBPMHevH
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc4PT8zN8v
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNltqyI3Ebl
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybMoZLhHK6
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHrN0wXhBY
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7VJrL2ukz
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCqmfdxtHs
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz75ANZzcu
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUmd8mrm3i
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzq8UqhArp
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaruimslazu
As we continued to have our breakfast and talked about the snakes and ladders game we had yesterday, Lee and Collins came into the lounge. Lee was taking down something on her tablet while Collins talked to her, almost like he was giving her instructions. I couldn't hear what he was saying because he talked in a low tone and Zoey at the same time was the one talking at the table.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOzCp7MgMM
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZRaG0MoJR
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRu2WI3wrf
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbmBP1yXo4
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkmDJUC5jQ
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21OirgwV42
"Sometimes I think you cheat."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46UH3Pzgkn
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF9kVS6VpU
"Cheating in snakes and ladders is almost impossible," said Christine as I saw her shrug her shoulders. "That's if you have the super power to row the dice to the number that's most suitable."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpZxTI63DF
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqodk8LkxgP
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXNySSb68D
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QK4YUShIL
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLWkRmpxIs
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYxQDjICzQ
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0XgKSkmoI
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ649wIHti9K
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbFcwKfSvw
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TT1s8owWw
"Well, I sure hope so. I told Yang Hyun-suk that you already started. He wants to hear it tomorrow, so I really hope you do make progress."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrSJyMpZIp
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLAtGDLdme
"I better go give them a call, then."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoPbLDurIU
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0e1f7tZqp
I drew my chair back and left the table. I later found myself back in the room I shared with Zoey. I went straight for my phone that was beside the bed lamp. It felt like it had stayed there for a very long time because I barely touched it last night.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX3VtGEHjq
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPopiseMF4
I checked my lock screen and found no messages whatsoever. Maybe its because I hadn't turned the wifi on on my phone. After I unlocked it and switched on the wifi, notifications came flooding in almost at the same time most of them from social networks like Instagram and Twitter. I ignored them all as I went on my WhatsApp to check if there were any messages on the BTW chat group. But nothing.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazl6B2Kddi
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xAonISmEa
"Strange," I muttered to myself as I sat on my bed. I decided to leave a message, but that wasn't going to be enough.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPLGj9vWaM
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QrSjijqvP
I decided to make a call to one of the BlackPink members. Jennie was the first member on my contact list so I called her.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8QuRK4lto
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1a9kia0B8
I put my phone to my ear. Her phone rang but she wasn't picking up. I waited until the voicemail came up and I cut the call right away. Maybe she was still asleep or she wasn't so close to the phone. I called again and still her phone went straight to voicemail.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqNT7yJPsE
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY0psr9tYm
I called Jisoo next, and just like Jennie's phone, it went straight to voicemail. Something didn't feel right. Why were they both not answering their phones?744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rAS0S1017
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QyO9YJthN
I went on ahead to call Seunghoon and this time, I prayed that his phone wasn't going to act like the others. Upon the third ring, he answered.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDhg77PuOP
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmzJC9q8Ic
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk8Lqa9W0C
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnTRFDOyzt
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8kXK60ZPV
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQXy5j9THe
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgltzPsc83q
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj46aknVepd
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaFF3J4sX1
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCAgXy1KbM
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrom04r7ik
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBLGwCJg0X
"Umm...," I raised an eyebrow. Something was definitely not right at the moment. "Yes, I did. That's why I called to see if you guys are up it."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlNsmyuWzE
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRhtZSwaDn
"Oh, umm, let me ask if these guys are up for it." I heard movement, like someone was pushing away the sheets to try and get out of bed. "I'll call you right back."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s4rxnW5Xh
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20h0VfFk3Q
"Ya, sure."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qeXJL5prX
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOOSH7G6hu
Seunghoon cut the call and I couldn't help but wonder. Maybe the others weren't up for meeting today. It was for the best to have it cancelled.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x2jEG3YsF
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSersFlfym
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqhYhquCsj
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sSBcNK2QK
"Anything?" Zoey asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXalkgohbr
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwlotkx6zM
"Couldn't reach Jennie or Jisoo," I answered. "But I did reach Seunghoon and he will get back to me as soon as he talks to the others."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCgKMhf2Oy
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKBll1HxOR
"Okay, well, we can wait."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf5VwRerSg
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJJLsEPYnQ
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVJSyKwJDF
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUybMXYo378
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5314FPcnK
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldfirhNw3U
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOthQcAVC7
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAZPnsVwTI
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqltK8y9ZY
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsskolPNVlC
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNYa5iWeYr
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW87nTvgXzO
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90zW2cVwK8
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvoqThc3ZX
"We can't work on the song without them."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwvLYrJBzb
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1JlEsIXTe
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfINlfQHj3B
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODJm56g2a8
"I hope we won't have to write the songs of the entire album ourselves. We will need to bring out some songwriters. We don't really have much time."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0V2rI3PRn
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCRKiC5STm
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeCksXnYa1
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2aNQJdeHE
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX3KJaFDru
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxBqjwT4EP
"Then get your guitar and notebook."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwSFsoV9k1
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEKMHqhhLe
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfBrOWsJBi
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3aYeXluCc
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCckhQo2ug
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiKj6ooAh0
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FsQ9BnSD2
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FnEbS4nXC
"Whatever," Zoey rolled her eyes at me as she went to the closet to get it. I stretched out over my bed to get my notebook in one of the drawers on the other side of the bed.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZkK7kZbtG
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01002lTQ6g
Zoey and I soon left the room, Zoey with my guitar and me, with my phone and notebook. I expected Seunghoon to have called back by now but he hadn't. Strange.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcM6VA892e
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RdFRdUYmW
"Aah, it's good to see that you are much more serious than I thought about the song," said Collins as we entered the lounge.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuUphSszKF
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NluVeEkdq
"Of course we are," said Zoey as she smiled at Collins seated in the lounge. My brothers and Christine weren't by the dining table.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5WqsXSR5a
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mL6nrSlA4
"And what about the others?" Lee asked. She was standing right in front of us with the tablet still in her hands. "Are they going to make it?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D4dSJQkcO
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yN38oD6PK
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0Ya9uTPZv
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ940AglnfqT
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfgLmtPl2Z
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI0JCwk0q6
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXOAC8QwoF
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfayHs3eD9
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8byWebVGZ
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyhJYiHwv5
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk0vw6DVVr
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABprRghfEi
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuhvsjvKnG
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bfWucbbGL
"Yes, really," I answered.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjXhCiQVPL
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WbsmN7BQX
"Whatever reason you have, fine. But you will have to finish the song because tomorrow we will meet other songwriters and composers for the album. But we will still need that song from you."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLu37Pp2Hz
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHZMWNaYbf
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16zOa1ljTn
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUptXpZ06UQ
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPvdHW4Bm8
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCcEI8AtWX
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrFG9bBcFY
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WwfK2fLnX
"What went well?" Lee asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUY4pzDoM7
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREVmEWuCmW
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCCtf2YdY5
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQA2YCnlh5
I knew Lee was going to stare at me to get an answer, so, I avoided her gaze by looking at my phone. Still nothing from Seunghoon. I debated on whether to give him another call.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDhlxknq46
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK76aVugoOW
I heard one of the doors open and shut in the hall followed by Christine's voice singing to a song by Maroon 5: "She will be loved" until she entered the lounge.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SPorqonrX
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4JK2nfeul
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcl86K2xdv
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNHn8vpv2e
I shook my head. "I can't reach BlackPink and Seunghoon said he would inform me soon if he and the rest are going to make it."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuXik8t6DG
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qc5KwmHys
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsptyknrhNV
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4HW0cZqeQ
"Now I see why you don't want the managers hearing the song tomorrow," said Lee. "You're not sure if these guys are going to show."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8c63khU2D
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhiX89nlpD
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wWV9ZYmqJ
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmUbC8Mc3b
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tl1Nz60bC
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfveTvQ4MK
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31rpx0nOn4
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69RYkrCIlj
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmhSRQxmaO
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDi4HJ7uec
She was right. I looked at my phone and I felt like I should have just left it behind in my room. Seunghoon might call to tell me that they weren't going to make it. Jisoo or Jennie would find my missed calls and call me back to say the same thing.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICFHGwmG1I
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtecrpUs86S
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ4uCtVwW6
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgNmOlVlGu
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUPbXyORJE
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MjLMQCwrW
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0zEoGhEp7
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79EKHil8mp
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXHOfDYp6N
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mRrpbrmws
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwJhzkP9gj
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2875Vuwmz2
The phone beeps in my hand. I looked at it and I found a message from Seunghoon. I read the message saying that they won't be able to make it. I texted back and told him we would meet tomorrow.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtjCMnVwyf
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jgTOiG8fd
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli7xGkToWq
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3y3g1MDWE
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVMIgwYkiL
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8NhAWWdHE
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNRaluDyd2
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzFX4z4aVJ
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ7DtgzPrl
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6EXN7kwAE
"We better start working on the song," I said as I went over to the couch where my guitar lay and lifted it to create space to sit. "Where are Mike and Daniel?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYgiJ1UhZs
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZfEvYujfx
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNlPXIB05E
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQWkXiv0xS
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uTdbUmy3q
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbAQjvi8FE
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OfscVSwjd
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12rC30lcPX
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOpPNFjKLR
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51oQs0lsEz
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoawN9oymc
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ2dJmkOKq
"They wouldn't say, just that they can't make it, at least that's what Seunghoon told me on behalf of WINNER," I said. "I'm yet to hear from BlackPink."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7wl7bpZdQ
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZOOvOgR0I
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6afA4p5meT
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd2DmDySF7
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tdYPozmZw
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmUzOnFh9S
Mike sat opposite Daniel and I. We first did a recap of the song and continued working on the first verse since that was where we left off. Without the others it was kind of difficult since Mino and Seungyoon came up with great lyrics for the first verse. We had to go with the flow though and it didn't seem so bad.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9WrbTWAwZ

We were still on the first verse, checking out sentences and debating whether one word sounded better than the other when my phone rang. It laid on the armrest of the couch. I checked who was calling and rolled my eyes.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGqE8jpdO3
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi1lTlSXHf
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpRXmYmNbC
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAxaVaxyUF
"I'll tell you," said Zoey, "it's G-Dragon. If it's not, then it's probably someone who's just as annoying as he is."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq8AIJyIuE
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtQBQtx2kx
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd8y0ZJWSo
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPw7Y580gY
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlLjt33LO5
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0dtSiIlAS
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiNzQ01WwT
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa83wDkei4
"What is it?" Christine asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fPzlhGYab
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4h1ttMaPO
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7NwPHPvBd
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q7sRm1hOn
"He's here," I said.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaufMgnrco0
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyYoOxXZpr
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW90J5R1gd
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmOdISAvfu
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pztQhD85K
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6k2azUoej
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFVWXTRCpW
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7K9mpjC99
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb0mYGQsxw
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnrp3ZJZfQ
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwY0ySO3ZL
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8y04AByHC
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZObtzby6fU
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvCuiCiXbe
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1Yprh7OMN
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iNFV1rPiq
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVAhCosqdy
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE89jleyDh
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHsrCvW1I0
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatKUt62Yqq
"Zoey has a point, though," said Mike. "For someone who had a great time at the party, you seem pretty sober and...," he snapped his fingers as he tried to think of a word.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAbCYeqV4Z
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEvgDeo9ks
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebAr4VWqZ4
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnXwJPvQU4
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf90SQ40evD
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUuj3ffHj8
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEPIX05sqZ
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFQzkeuRlE
I looked over at Mike and he had a small smirk on his face that was almost unnoticeable to everyone else. I found Daniel also staring at his brother and then he looked at me. The two of us knew he meant what Daniel said.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMgloGyAzY
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSoRPWKSjJ
"We had a blast yesterday," said G-Dragon as he went over to join Mike on the couch. "I thought you checked the photos on Instagram."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9rTuwfQ26
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnHq8VQPTr
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2vZpB23Zm
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshq621EVuF
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBUBq5xQjv
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7cUs9uhAT
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFkYTwzw6I
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx8BGpvP4j
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iUVto21oB
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf4sQqIrzO
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3Gg9jiUke
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31OoT1LCdd
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn5BbtLBJ6
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kAfDLGM8r
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYySInFQEiG
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZndAVaO75
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFJ6X8eFlq
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k5XW2w1cT
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAivKRQBVT
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUmDGYzljc
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfDXVOfe0X
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sqGLI9LbK
I couldn't help but feel something strange with what G-Dragon said a few sentences ago. Maybe I was just imagining things. Any who....744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Tr0tFgDOA
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BvUBt10gn
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuofDsN6kYo
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40uJYZvTCA
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtykWHpbB3P
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2Wyf2NJvy
"Seunghoon called to tell me they weren't going to make it. I haven't heard anything from BlackPink but I doubt they will come, so I called off the meeting and we are working on it instead."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuqmj50w7N
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW31HSOWm1J
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvP4W0lTjG
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxEEmFdrTD
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXhCYZNMCM
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1KH10iwyf
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PT07UD2gl
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKFlioKDiM
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnSefpt4hw
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx0WYGMJgU
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkexjKD3Eyn
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ465iK2NuA9
G-Dragon shrugged his shoulders. He left our floor early yesterday, so he had no idea that we all agreed to rest and continue working on the song later. Can't blame him for that.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZQBS92xF2
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcjmkO89ys
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbo7esUgsP
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoZq33hROA
"I didn't convince them, I swear," he said as he raised his hands in surrender. But then he looked at me and lowered them. "Okay..., maybe a little."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUeve4GEOM
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby9ARDH1mK
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDUKYHBWcP
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDNhKMtPGF
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ifc3nyuE0
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPdfVw8Bb9
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsifsPjhEdm
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnoM4bAcTX
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoRAhMoZwD
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIecP0InA1
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XE6j7iMdZ
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQmZnUOj48
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9m8tbBBjN
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bCcL4umy0
We looked at him as he also stared back at each one of us. The look in his eyes made me realise that he didn't want to talk for fear of what might happen next.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz3hX2L59V
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBismiQbYN
"Looks like you lost your tongue, GD," said Daniel. "Please tell us who you were with. I don't think it's that much of a big deal."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfC0OIJM16
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlfXT5RXZE
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZeduJOjGc
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKxUAgJh0D
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3sxsfaMDU
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0km5SpD2h
"It was a mistake coming here," said G-Dragon as he nervously stood up from the couch. "I better get going. Sorry for disturbing you."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVjPdtTv0n
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8algUYnrPp
All five of us stood up and surrounded him. It was five against one and he knew he couldn't stand a chance. We came closer, making it tight for him to leave.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamIxOtXYT9
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB37HK0iYk
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqLToXInSH
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP8PB2FczF
"Now," said Zoey as she cracked her knuckles. "You're going to answer our questions. You don't want to receive these babies," she gestured to her fists, "on your face."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE00dJRKBOr
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIODA7bEBD
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vnZxbVyNI
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvijSXLvl3O
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToHHbqftxT
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfiZ3Ee4ap
G-Dragon gulped as he looked at us. "You won't like the answer I am about to give you. You will kill me before I even leave this place."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcePvTuOP25
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj34N30yoLK
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pYhq3dS9e
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9ibqfqLVj
G-Dragon sat upright and cleared his throat. "When I came out of the elevator, I saw..., I saw this guy. He recognised me immediately and said he was a big fan..., and so....., we talked for a while. We got along well...., and then that's when the others came..."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRe0ZA13Is
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesALD5AvYc
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7zBwNQdZI
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDb4WZlNmq
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4vNb5qs69
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryw0SmgkzG
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xW4yhEF0z
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h2kyzTwDF
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo1jqLMBZu
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k1Yn0GJKu
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY6jGV680H
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID67eaxXCW
"I can't believe it" she said.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgO0c2hqzy
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfpO2bQ2J9
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnHGNSHA3a
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9TLEbSPRA
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkragMXCxn
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpSIeoM78t
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLuycRPYoy
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBjZXDHXMK
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXgBYKNAB6
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvBokGPeBD
We all turned to look at Lee as she approached with a tablet in her hands. She went to sit on the couch I had been sitting on with Daniel. I went to sit next to her, Christine on her other side. Mike and Daniel went over to stand at the back of the couch so as to see more clearly on the tablet.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZCecgPgT2
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQzuem5BmU
She was on Instagram and she had gone on one of G-Dragon's fan pages. One of the first photos we saw of last night was a picture of him and Johnny staring at the camera and smiling. They had hands over each other's shoulders like they were best buddies.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYyGkOLLTy
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlaWu49ilP
It was definitely Johnny Jerkins alright. His white blonde hair cropped to the sides and a strand of it falling above his right blue eye. He was almost G-Dragon's height and he had on a white shirt and brown khaki shorts. I noticed their surrounding and I couldn't help but ask:744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoqh2yEiPU
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bZrC2Vm4w
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOdFmiCXB4
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYQkzDZQP0
"What! A cruise party!" Zoey yelled as she sat up quickly. She looked like she had woken from her slumber as she went to stand alongside my two brothers.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVXCZad2mM
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxfRNROq9X
Lee continued to scroll down the page and more pictures came up. This time, there were some of BlackPink and WINNER having a good time with Johnny and G-Dragon. There were other pictures with fans who wanted to take pics with the K-Pop superstars.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhPtB7DYzA
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe838ysDaO
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF15FHkmQ6
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0idJYYmRM
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJs2svAr6e
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3JH11QnVm
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoPepHOH6n
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCnC3QJSjL
"He seems pretty cool."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04y5wpaJkS
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdacmOao5b
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1Pp40Csnv
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMl8gciVWY
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB3OIdNxDs
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwWjmNcBIr
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofBLxdmoWu
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlIC2Jh2BT
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH0Gf3OwBD
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQoR9RAMaq
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ13ja7eqRE
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz6TSEkdq9
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvAm7khPqb
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZxGxTz1DR
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zcEsO2B5x
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyxb5v3rQq
"This 'Johnny' thing?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OusT7qU2t
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHaIhegHWB
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAFjMd1iyh
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJxPCOj1Xu
"Why would we?" I asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVb7068INo
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqh9gs7N0i
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVXZbI2cSS
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKJQgydlsF
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWuBRtmi3I
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfi8ya2nm0
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeIHxhWvFk
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00l9t0eQK1
"You're right," said Zoey. "It was a long time ago, but we would rather keep our distance. Some people are just toxic, you know?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAquglSDCxR
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzkJzL6fSr
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9MTTZLQta
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEcr90W8tK
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnnN2o4sHT
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRga0SrYlV
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtxNYKX2tF
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5DEh0h6n0
G-Dragon didn't seem like himself. I looked at him and this time I didn't give him a criticising look like I always do. I could tell he was upset if not sad.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOFadadzzR
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRj3MGQ6EX
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79HhZmbi7Z
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYeKeYS3ME
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc4fBB1S3h
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z0orwA4yU
"Bye, GD," the rest replied at the same time. Their tone sounded low almost as if they didn't want to upset him any further.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTOM5o0vRp
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFPVp84VId
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdYclEqmje
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uoTi3R6Tz
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBxMSneePH
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUHV0bW4Yb
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOxHOQXank
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiCOEmkAPf
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJOmf4flPE
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8dhWV4XlO
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBKihq9RDS
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76TuSyHSxz
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrKGnQFwUB
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGLuXxZHFD
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZRh0ixNH2
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo6iQTJPeJ
"I mean, you guys are the nicest and coolest people I have ever met and I never thought you would be so spiteful about someone. You weren't all like this when you were dealing with Jehan...., well, maybe Zoey, but even she wasn't so extreme."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr6JS0En3P
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExFOiguVw2
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVQz0he3cK
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IYZeDXlSf
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbn6WOW4tI
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuXBbW3QxT
I shook my head. "We don't hate him. We do hate what he did to us in the past, but we don't actually hate him."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTmHbMqt8x
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2urNvF9iA
"Really?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuXDpcAg6j
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7RTlOLmR1
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHVDbGzX1A
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mfEwTC0tL
G-Dragon bit his lip and he didn't have to admit I was right. "Then why can't you come to peace with him?" he asked. "You don't even want to cross paths with him, like ever."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bw5Orr80H
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT9O8ZvR4E
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmXZVT9tL0
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H10qeX3mC
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6uoV5iOPN
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6P52aX6Bb
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5Ohcye1Ot
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiewC5muy0
G-Dragon slowly nodded his head. I could tell that he understood and is willing to wait. But for how long is the million dollar question.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBgUcv4DoV
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22BM81NZEo
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQYM21yfQh
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74cfC6qvGB

For a moment, we didn't say a thing as Lee stood up from the couch, taking the tablet with her back to the dining table. The others who stood went to take their seats. For a moment, some of us sat, slumped on the couch.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWSIcRxkSj
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0775efzsf
"Aren't you guys going to continue working on the song?" Lee asked at the dining area. We had been quiet for what felt like forever.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEojJQUUTaK

The five of us all looked at each other. It was surprising we wanted something sweet to boost our spirits. We needed some fresh air too. We all turned to look at Lee who sighed. She needed a doughnut too.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyXKYrtGmv
