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?672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBijq3tgCbF
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg6EHbJ5Vy
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtlbq5KC93
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RGOTo7SP8
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzM99kuxjD
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EnEi3l7Py
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc89r6h8G1h
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegmrZLRI4y
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHtNIgrFJQ
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAmeCvxKiN
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGQWDK1Bz0
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIpBsJoaZX
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi5xWzbyxA
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktI8qziLsE
"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?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSviZtAWvVX
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgqvfXmbt6
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KAUIqxDhh
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHTd5HQ9Qn
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXa8IEYsm7
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETD0XNk1dN
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtkqBJKMig
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYOvjlRGdG
"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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5chBDIbcpC
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhLfzyo8cg
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3Fgh0DHyq
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB5SLYzJYa
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0KE0miAW6
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWroo4t1f0
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTU8pPBMob
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0GeuIWGhX
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MfAluDamJ
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DbJ8BbNe1
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVuxz1pORT
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpnlAfS8TX
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUlVoyUoxS
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRkenKrrie
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbg1i3eNyO
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwRZg8ZGp3
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx12hWpTiN2
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxcvKwv3gD
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPGVrvrMXV
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI2KNOsQ2K
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F27o4XMEZ
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxO412OMcO
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKBwBbrG6z
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru8MLwvDTp
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b4V8LXNqg
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanuOF8Yo9V
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPGzrV6F14
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTJE0INsDV
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHQWJftUUd
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6n7dsapky
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo7XgG0viz
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGakuOkE9Cl
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju08DcU7w5
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSOAn9jWs5
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpTdFvLk0c
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3bBEtaQci
"Sometimes I think you cheat."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrienEUSzW
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0XOtIy45o
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwne7UN8SAl
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYgEZQkRqO
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6fQZg6nDv
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfq0uaorx2
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZLLraU4tg
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy8SnvP3HW
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrUIOlryWp
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWJvY6QmJv
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotKlQntxqm
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLpjvKNpCC
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUj0bqrBMS
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WU807vd0v
"I better go give them a call, then."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5EDK3vRFR
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WbVT6ciTx
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycmTiQaLRv
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u5xz3Dq33
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe7TkBCGTS
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK9rgarzW6
"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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaE1hm8eEU
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZHgi9JtY5
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28YAfKtwJ8
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZmMdvqWhz
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kbDSFpAuz
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmPkdqaUDP
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?672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjRHHBQSZj
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBtEOJkYIz
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnZ5K24rqP
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp13IHcL6ps
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajouS7wGS6
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRw4f72CSx
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wZEjxXuK8
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z2UpH7OgO
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEEbRIFaNL
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmpf73LEEI
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFI5qPwlxe
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa8VlYiys1
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXqdvA4lDE
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsilCF6FPr
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsT7m8DLzb
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR9Hq3Q8U3
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyOdvlUJNO
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtAcHFhKLr
"Ya, sure."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhJ5n2Z5Nl
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDGb2L7Yj6
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxdmYvgDoG
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAvPwjY59J
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJyLUAajsq
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8gijuk5Uk
"Anything?" Zoey asked.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhwc227kA6
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVRxuJEffi
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDyW0Wekhz
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ftUwlseWa
"Okay, well, we can wait."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMkc8mcEHr
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIodAA0sZe9
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5IfSZzSB2
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj05M5tDTSi
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBPxyV9qBc
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nNUofvQFq
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPApq74ROTp
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcEPQHXmRm
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBo5DmXava
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3Q1RknGTr
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ldILAhPzl
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVfAzhH9MN
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQaPb7WiE2
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmqL6nVUbe
"We can't work on the song without them."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJlOBAChct
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YUyUuoF6s
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWvXuUd1oP
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA50AKfOSRY
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF20ELE5JFA
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenA1vkEWrM
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AjAjb0Ere
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hhHAOKQwb
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERniS3DwAU
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8yD45AgEk
"Then get your guitar and notebook."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmcMb5wSyw
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hulNnWnYt
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgg3k2Gx6v
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxOFgXiV0v
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH6zTp94QT
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL2UOIbeVz
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr7xcCO1To
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeOMOjfH55
"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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWtSlaHZa1
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuGKiXs1my
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDeCIdEILC
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9v17bnc7h
"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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIw629CFnW
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFoNOC68VT
"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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG3jJC8cem
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rNwE5AmVk
"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?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUWRjjBsOq
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW15aSGE6eC
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE6GE7H5DY
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHDitk5gwY
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZXKXbHPbJ
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbizffl0CnS
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrHLqrNPTR
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSVqhaMYAy
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B7poaKTca
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk3AooJFXk
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbcYfslrMl
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xtrH930Os
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEUYFfHehr
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEZcjWFjvU
"Yes, really," I answered.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7NjfmL5DJ
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ImwaS3DzX
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsYHSEuK6V
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h8DMuUTxH
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AKgdgMpm2
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo3oO2IO92
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKKpzYw3bk
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmd4ECELHC
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgcwYyfruo
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhecPOzMDI
"What went well?" Lee asked.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIOq1HzRzS
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡami06fl7DT
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAvBTjbNAa
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfoeXiI6bg
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtBdvuhjGB
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzbcsmk0U8
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduLapxnTk3
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmin2EC8rxv
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgwTAmCGjT
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu2g06KsqL
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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ8RMhknVF
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnmur3ylGE
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaOr02xfOa
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oJJx8U7Ag
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VeTwfZESf
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRF7c9DY1R
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1msqrmcUH
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20pyA8ED3n
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGSELcq6a1
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMIf7nB48B
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5m7J834f3
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQiM3YcR4j
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXWyY2RCPN
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KOboAEZVC
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYRryppA8V
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVCTNZVJkX
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ4gWCBgEm
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6SuNLdIPD
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqr77YxPR9
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yzbL1GS84
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUG34pgR0I
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpQdOPBWsu
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdSDw6NK7L
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx36MGfIwCk
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkYP5b4K4S
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJGi6M5EwG
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz2Np5pnLc
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ4jRNwaOU
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4ILaKFR7z
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoTbKqGkix
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVRcVRvtcC
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkEjR9PDnv
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv2yPXRgw5
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvurPaNcau
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKmJfMm9gv
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDQtzwNkxW
"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?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBoQ0oMYNY
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxLKP8hs3p
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2wjhsGhID
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPS5rx3gs8
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq1mI4tnvn
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevcbtIXtMJ
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVkKPBdiGT
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCxwFwGz1I
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWedzcVgAAo
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8lJNRGH79
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbrpriEOsr
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB4UYMhzo7
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2pUpzZgH8
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdRB9TsHUe
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxMaJv14ju
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FSqKkeGjU
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxHsLqhfuj
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g6nh6YJYD
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsLWVy97E7
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV3xX7QtlQ
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi3mp0sa6y

"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKokPkKczJ
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCpfCeOwAa
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e1iLTJS5V
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvhMdXmUEw
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3zVLnYMr1
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlAZ4Z27NC
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMskwH3NzbG
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaNRTefAOO
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjaJhPObj7
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWbjd5iyiw
"What is it?" Christine asked.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjD8uOajb2
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6fm49rAL4
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSmPQhXKWY
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltpj0v7CUj
"He's here," I said.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVeSbQ3DRz
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeXCAuF4C9
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaHmqTDrer
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL1rcN7C40
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gRjdOJXxT
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmCxsjiHJU
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqB34dtvf5
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8di9bZ8tGf
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKgQ3wjfh4
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL380myTjL
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNgyThomqc
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMj8h0f6oS
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TXTHqyK5f
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7WVmFCZx9
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEqUBeEFG0
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlWsvOlwOv
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNtbYMHx1m
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDjjWyd2hq
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kVcwAlqqY
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc72aBZkJK
"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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPAOfclFKQ
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkXSMnPdOt
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VdLyYDHXi
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N5jDi6fJu
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXF2Ei2qMs
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3CiOt7iHi
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb63McDINRp
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpn0HGWIl0
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK6rEEkCMU
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz8LW57BLd
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YonZQIb0U
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIBUJbfrID
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAmo1GQRPd
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA8gPeJLo5
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB0GyhA3BL
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22JmMTuf6q
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZfZWf3oBz
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rouGIDn7L
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXvsAEH2y6
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgUiJgxNmN
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcmK9inpff
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax4U38aoXk
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCni1GHmfG
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewJg6xJdZN
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobishSOYx0
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnzGFsgvd6
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h5u9RMbwp
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrXBGxjVL7
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRaLAsyoPn
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOL8fpuobX
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa9rva24wu
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEwFeAjU9z
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....672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G0X5r8A3i
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKLwkY7LXH
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghHAqwm84w
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBiFVVT7Ij
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr8KeIeNkC
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZMIHeZv3J
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliUldanNv8
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIw21ilJhz
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKkNiGaqbg
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIeV4EyLuc
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9bXNyaM2m
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVQ8EuXChi
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsrVlJpMPx
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGvUGxpAXk
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HXKprVync
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1EGv6IdO5
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfnCBoTQ70
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfL8su4Avn
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ787Ar3cfm6
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6qQTN8fyg
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AkJDJeu3u
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9RSyKpY3r
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zDiRr4tJb
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMtYSU9Tit
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xw7x5Vl73
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnTxLodWPa
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUTqClM0ll
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xDwrOTBJb
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG7ApMmgPS
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXeyHqzAt1
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v91eIatss
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo1nYWC0a8
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0ogIsCW2Y
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35WTyAoUYn
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJEjVVnnFZ
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcRdDP6K1H
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ9MArsPWb
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIhWXu3y7h
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImHg6ynjcg
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKRNZpAK8k
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sY1gy7HP1
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon9634SBKb
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hIN1OPG0k
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5q4XdGvEM
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeGZDKPkIF
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrzdcLiCba
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ118MpkL4vh
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ196wRTYHBr
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyChO2VwkvO
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU3g8wzwJ3
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuJqaEHmXa
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY4vlhm9KM
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpjtQrkTMc
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajXOfYg13r
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnC0D60xmb
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQDi1eyg74
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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0oOsHMRuz
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EjvkVX0FE
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhgGE9AwP9
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKVRMZkSgE
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..."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK9TjEMgGF
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5Jum23qBJ
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmdfHaTAIo
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPsERjhPMO
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtq57nsVlA
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMg6SwmkjG
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH6v3v6wUU
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLhiALVJxe
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT3HEAzByB
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFu1JMi4wM
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Al8Z9kPVQ
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFFMCrQBvU
"I can't believe it" she said.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8qr7w5BBN
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ783zZLhWl4
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQCYYVF1kl
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzOpdqFz5o
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w47FwU1MJ
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ufCtZTG1A
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB37bMOAYI
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv2enavN62
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMvfOXSYvA
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1raKUVAKQ
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOf1kxg2Rq
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYWpnGm6tm
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXICwe8lJT
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGuB3wxGJt
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:672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXTyCzapl5
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AHyysOb65
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJBaqD94US
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6xY5kmcCn
"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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR2QoBz8xh
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF85nkruiB
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcmwVq30GC
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblm2snHsD2
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWBj7wdo5q
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRFifr5PqU
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRnsPhFuPK
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbWZr83erO
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdWhmuzhpM
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VXZkpLJJh
"He seems pretty cool."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjI2JsPyv6
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmT8HeZRyq
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyELkVdnt5
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I9PmdwlQS
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRRYrv4OA1
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw20HA3f3Lo
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfX9iejRc9
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT464fN3xDy
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMoXRMirip
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IL7JUPuAN
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG1qrj4hfu
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1OuK1Tc9P
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlly8zVpzNJ
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRGGABnTMK
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bWADXM3nr
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tKfZNYmFO
"This 'Johnny' thing?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LUXYjLLrN
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YuLlYjj77
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkfTFpz4aM
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9Hp2gx52a
"Why would we?" I asked.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVQnVdLsCI
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwvWY69dD5
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfxNG80OQF
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjaMiimXPM
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfzxjzIy4i
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhqeQAeazo
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCjmCQb3Bt
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9dRbBqY8b
"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?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro8iRuHeAG
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2o6FR24du
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPxjUsQtDD
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmekOwtQDO
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRLPOAayki
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTNBYjP3So
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVsBFC9b4u
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq9g3oDiyx
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqGOJ4gCas
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0et4yBsMN2
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SI8p9n1yO
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw8cAVi7Dp
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSd6IIk1kz
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkqMUX1arV
"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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpZGOdx6HX
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbxkwUywxn
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UgeUBRNDy
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNDVQqgekn
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSQyaQVcov
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xYkgCBcjz
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15Vmm30MF2
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr4cH3EEJq
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4uoRARZbj
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELNPCLodRQ
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxRM6lME8q
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRsvdU0Fok
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiu8Arjllb
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe6tJMcN7f
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOVv3y4V1s
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SHfRVOpTS
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf6zMWfQwW
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlqt68aYEo
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIAdxagU1r
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN40Ldg2hen
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP03aEMM0sL
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUXJ95vdSQ
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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrlNx8Gdje
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hxxnYRxx4
"Really?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG3sGgLo7B
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdYmiTx0jB
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U0XRh5IFu
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKEBEdZNAD
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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxb8SGPX8E
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8CPQCoWJW
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxBBmVBTZw
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb7DQPXfTk
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxclmkli08
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXxuTlCnpY
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOheCIycbd
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pEgkj3bVL
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnADMxUgun
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sgEcNfYKJ
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqugJL2org
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT3lorSI9C
"Ya, you too," I answered as I smiled back.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB6nMOTpXV
