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?704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLkdOevlEn
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivpcstXAsw
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHbRwtQXQ1
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sI3Wrnfxu
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uMfzjxWb4
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxyq8y3kDo
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliXoiBB1YS
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9huo5G74i
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R4VDuvUSv
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxqK76hEKM
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvKrG4uXHe
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4AmdBeJG6
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINU2IYbVvK
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr70bnvGV0
"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?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjtWh1n9hN
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnosTieiNQ
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2gPAj8pH0
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8djufIoHQ
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lQ313mMKi
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhI8JvmLDU
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x4F7ZQES6
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnPGsbhjiB
"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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0hO6ODrp0
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe64YYOl67x
"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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkYfJGupkt
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtqXMCQRaI
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMqEqQDsip
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ddImpL6s7
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2TxHbeuRN
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzKiJ5rVaX
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJKZEVMrAg
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1eC15MnK1
"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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlPma1ynjD
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMkdOITICN
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0ZtgHsMqQ
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPA0tFW4Ri
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0DDoQyCgq
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwwnGh1UJA
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIghDsKUKX
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9etxjjoya
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkxSOg3kC3
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSA7ZuVa7O
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlasFSLMD5i
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9kXQHQovH
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnML3TUqKY
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGOYVRQD0g
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8EYvKRlo8
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxyqZom9WG
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ265t6n0Jbl
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFa7GQsBBD
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6idGXkiDi
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1M7QM07at
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWzYoARRBb
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt4oamdtzJ
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7nsxnRslE
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoBG2qfz2G
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxMmcR2btR
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZaAooUON3
"Sometimes I think you cheat."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GcCTlme6y
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4fKYSNUFn
"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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67pyU7Sx9h
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMY0Tb08ER
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOY73W8CbB
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYa6OclNhS
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUKFc4wZSA
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvzke2MiBt
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvpO9Hah7o
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkeep7WcJk
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosszUngoeI
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBYrHaRUiZ
"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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDliVvlTjoA
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlK69mlFP3
"I better go give them a call, then."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtMxmHDagX
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZps7Fr9Bxw
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFYwIu00Dp
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvkOs0lxsZ
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr6WcMFtZV
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbLVX54sak
"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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sBT1Csxuz
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5VYJ3OThd
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z5lvBL32F
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOJCnZNlCJ
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6cY5HwISa
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaQcsBlXBb
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?704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wNFhNHUHx
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcekBhBw7GT
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFNYsDa7vy
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NR8B5MUD9
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBscvItsHD
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8iz73l5ub
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnZHirp6PO
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ16hqAzAH
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W6WSSxm7y
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yeI6yuEBs
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVYq4RU4in
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6ZfJLrpvs
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYBXeT6GZ8
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhFI7JkvqJ
"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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8mHPn70sN
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrMmzowPqz
"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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGRCIQsmDq
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eCy1pTaJC
"Ya, sure."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHanujIEAQ
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOEdL6KCJw
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw57xDu96Ew
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlqQFgWk4Y
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zq6EimKYa
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLfZjgAAOc
"Anything?" Zoey asked.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchq7t70Eke
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEdruA781I
"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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUI3kYePOQ
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEbQNnmr9O
"Okay, well, we can wait."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYyORQPI51
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpyW5nMzzf
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzRNDocGEc
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr17Yy9R5U
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KbXLr2MNu
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LlAtYEgZv
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKdeL1hjnE
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DplwFZ36l
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWekYXQNrlj
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ujm1XkjBk
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN7BUYzl1u
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqi8IXMnMg
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXVNeg1gjc
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnSy6YNkZI
"We can't work on the song without them."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEfFe9vweC
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn575uof9T
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2F0aDBXOP
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjoo1FJj3W
"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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaRBoBaohA
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qqhTbn4Op
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdO7HOKS7r
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhyVMRzl1o
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0d0BKJ568
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqStN271D7
"Then get your guitar and notebook."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm17fZgHmi
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNt29bFy1c
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR2af0wYaX
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5hVBdbC8F
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiH4BfZcWC
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElIFfCCFFB
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BKaqrJpc9
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENSQahcSIA
"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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw4SCRfdKB
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6Oo9vj6xb
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfal4atycqA
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAhIs7dmVa
"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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D2QeJ6USP
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4Jhl2INwL
"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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp834QIlGgC
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslaZZdjYth
"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?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlBZw0Egzs
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKRwNagJJq
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyTYt9pw8X
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjCYUEHGXw
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6rruX9QjF
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkKIW5hZ3e
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoIivlWePc
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevKUuXLfPF
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9IXfe6e0D
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEe3QPZqEj
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncgIR3LKNY
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6vtKQmVok
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0IjrqwpmD
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBXSJ3QCPd
"Yes, really," I answered.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHky4ixRD7J
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOefHtaI0jM
"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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vd70i5Bsg
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjdOpQH1tn
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsrLHvyx7J
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoG3xX8QB1
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KjLz4CxfM
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahUDZfUKZf
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrVaL0R593
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSBjdTiMGN
"What went well?" Lee asked.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT6Sg6bkm4
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVPGoNpAWH
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIMQIQHC6s
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer36MlD1kO
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAshZB20ib
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9ZwMrQy1T
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQK3PUShXZ
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQuiHzJCV9
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOaBbY1sFn
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagrgBivXl3
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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw17f5ixrg
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1Bo87euA4
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNgSyB59Hh
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwOlMVW8CO
"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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9Y9o93TR6
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51ti1v6Bys
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4gfwITedg
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7my3OY4DOA
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3fwyhL3RD
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCizxrAFz6
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n0byS11z6
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRbEnimIGh
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A8otJbKbQ
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXKFbmmIUL
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4p8dZy3gN
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDghzXUgfum
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWKiUBCOyT
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2YGreLZT9
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM8eKUPJEl
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri5RU9Pje0
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz8DpT2r8s
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkFEQiuR5Y
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPPZXlhNKf
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa2g2nGhaS
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXULJM0Uodu
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cs59ZAZdZ
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIdzSh3Qij
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG6ySqk6a6
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bVgNRFQvm
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlGZpgq75C
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWMO1IhnQ7
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HpDj3h8BO
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6xMeF5sLg
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5vHlTYsVz
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95ZFGRMqvD
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig4wK0ztBC
"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?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HDLX0a819
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43ngR8kxqx
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3a4f4PZWt
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiWxtOtZXV
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZGxsUMBAV
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV8qDgbIRS
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilOxKeAgVQ
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTDVVO08xr
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYgsTSJ6FT
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN93tJie2Q8
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQlDGJfrCW
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo3L2bZJm5
"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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHAKVcSiOC
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMsCLYWGqn
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD25MMWBpR
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCXRFza8Il
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwccmE3ICod
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPqWY41cYu
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHrwbUoHNW

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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGbgSZJ7i9
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k5deHmMuw
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNg9kBDRF9
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgme5sTAgZy
"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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefCSP5U2Pc
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR0QJLe9tD
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cWNVI6Zp7
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBbX7zR41E
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT8EXaaomA
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoCQc2xpYH
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj4oge1ycb
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwerGcGgn58
"What is it?" Christine asked.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvLxvcx8Bz
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOfxs5RifD
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqoLISr24w
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm49iL6y3a
"He's here," I said.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3K2PjV4Qk
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNjnZVA0yy
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi13in7GhoC
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbmffWUXYz
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yvOz6GmNL
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZodBZuYXCK
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHEPfp5niO
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObRi9GqoFG
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzLFOHV8tl
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueW89VX0Rh
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM8MlFCLHC
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVYiFYs0UA
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOTEQsrd21
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRaIPECEYm
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQnMmkMbnd
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ3MrIpptX
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJI2oq8lvB
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjErYWbOeEM
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo05rRGFIV
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE22YFw2aMd
"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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQJdVo6NXe
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69sWdGoElx
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aKogfP2Jz
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79UPKMmpnj
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMtIGfmIAF
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY49rrVZa0
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwuKNncpW9
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooGaHJN2zL
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kbxVhgeAl
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWYg8DPGo3
"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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjhkDf4nTz
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp93UUuepd
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYWQm5TAb5
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlg8eUvK7Y
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQPm6Ua4S5
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNkgvse6SE
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8z3sk4p8y
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBYLNta90V
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcbMxdYm31
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq6ZbUAsp1
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbwFUbmtoe
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eAvpS49Sp
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevWgTwjVSH
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxpvHCh77R
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwHe9DfdM1
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NZhBxPyDa
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBhUs1sZSc
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAeAsqBwlw
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezO8Fjobut
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hu1ICZtnr
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzvD77Hmvo
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjPSzcTSBg
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....704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10dl2kJuRy
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrNvEmEU9E
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7INS14htsF
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ0nKec4T1
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MU40Qn0Az
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRGczYMXrD
"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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNCyWqDK18
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznTnn7qIf6
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeCM21ApGc
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw3P4R2eGO
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkskhU3bWz
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS9jbNlAkL
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMipEb1zKmV
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHsbbXEn3M
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphCoAlb4NX
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXqiUr7SaR
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEzOl5odVh
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP6zibsRwC
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn80W9J2o1v
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmr9i67EAP
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5TB5WbaXv
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgKGlIEV4L
"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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvHbERF86S
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfo2psVT6Z
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j9UyuMjUl
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3388M1q3kb
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3MvE2lfms
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNfHHx4YOi
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCAs5VRx2p
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDMIOGcSaf
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7QTZoUqRD
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyzV7XVmNq
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4wXhpqgww
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4R1WDoeTW
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXRraH4yFo
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTboBMgUL8T
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pfY4iMe3t
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX58CSIvNed
"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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV6NgneVDz
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcT5d49Dpw
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbvGZdP9oa
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9mGDd83dR
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7H3aHd2MS
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbidi9rqcSU
"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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMbIDc8124
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xvXP1r8x4
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEdeF7HsjV
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgNHPmYlD2
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZzJxbGJyv
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokpShVqsQO
"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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSn5SR0ToR
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiObsOAdP2K
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9urPULkiq
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrgXhdObiy
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjndXgUEK2
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHt30H35mz
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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy72WtVzZs
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56nRllvoo5
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡminOSwWTMp
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkAFhfNoo5
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..."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAr8ydUQZr
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBsL0PmTkB
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xHjLSk6wb
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfuvI9ySHZ
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ6Ds97O7t
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKAKZpwmX5
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYhe5Aa2fs
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm8R93zROx
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZcN2ukFfS
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSryBF95huJ
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbRhoFukuX
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMYy4G6paV
"I can't believe it" she said.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiXaIjD24o
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsB7wHMR7y
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDpuuITpji
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDDUYNYdif
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0MOrAoaR5
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDJlyRMYW7
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRitsTmmPB5
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhOVOSJfCR
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGxM1XV19D
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9BzyZ3fq7
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0Qp21ZWEK
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAND9rqaQz3
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkV7l8E8NV
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡponEU8DddI
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:704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GY1K8QAf7
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WeYR65vPS
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzeM1d7tEN
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPPSbxq8Ls
"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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi8m09As0V
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlZ6rPVw7n
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTVwzMUliI
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb42OmcOM6h
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaTVsqUkCD
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMrmxm8hMs
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2N0KL9nw0
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoUWn7EFF7
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx4kplB3yY
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YWx0fBfML
"He seems pretty cool."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBBkLw4Uc2
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07pNuvSgE4
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUDtHZ0KlN
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8au7p1zxwI
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP55bv9DkW
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkFf3PfxyP
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfn23oBVla
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw0nvLCwdr
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DwPZ8SL7F
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5RkyqCb9V
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80dfLLBdHg
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdHlKjgJ7b
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsZeNqPdje
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIybkUvPSTQ
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKjbHwgGeV
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2NwZIPeQq
"This 'Johnny' thing?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj59ojHmZi
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZAZq0pQeb
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL3rPk3UPG
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuZA43OwIg
"Why would we?" I asked.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPkKLplebq
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP57qo3pe5Y
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbFfYHRjSi
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93PaSoC3cI
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdU9IcEFJN
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JzBQ5WyUD
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnAyvOTTRs
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0MadwC7r5
"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?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxsxKuyXf8
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTFV1TsLvU
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEMy0vqdxB
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4Ia67ma7P
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97B1LkzP5d
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA9HFXuhZN
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cv3mxg6OU
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1KHglgBgN
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ195vVLnoyw
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEcgpjTDYE
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIXSXMb21U
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vCfHbB9ur
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtw9jLCi9u
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9ExJr7V0w
"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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7c4bOpuUB
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxjDVqFvn0
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlkyKPsnsu
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLlLCVmeg7
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sFCTjQQHo
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi97gNpMAN
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9kgxZCrA8
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SboyREtgg
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQm8iodbYr
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AtCodQGAh
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6cAsoOhGl
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7jI1oYiKV
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXiFa5AFz1
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNFNazMM6E
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyckSgubvha
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaYoGI2TVm
"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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFLpcqe2oi
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8CAeYOI8z
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ5EXJTm4f
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gs0hOaSZl
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCjX4Am9sy
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFxZez3AHf
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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuthNdiIuOz
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z5H8j92JM
"Really?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc2CA2oIwD
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nF52pCJ6D
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdsPkAsuG1
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJLE8S4edN
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."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGrtqNfXeh
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv7kBG4fq9
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrvdyZN06p
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkJCjBHyWv
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh5pGMvXGS
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN7wA1ZCL7
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwjuoNYzzI
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43BxRVlMdY
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9DWzqtDhD
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43zApbO4Qd
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bENcFy2LS
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L4xaTZlJg
