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?890Please respect copyright.PENANAjHFcj9secc
890Please respect copyright.PENANAcim929UkVa
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.890Please respect copyright.PENANAMgfxNhbvRS
890Please respect copyright.PENANAxe45Cvl9dt
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.890Please respect copyright.PENANAcQLfMiklOh
890Please respect copyright.PENANA9b7nGnxU8f
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.890Please respect copyright.PENANAHW3gt6P94N
890Please respect copyright.PENANAoHlMIjuiL1
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.890Please respect copyright.PENANAzIci0h1ZjK
890Please respect copyright.PENANAtaKp0fgn4J
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.890Please respect copyright.PENANAx2xaSgI2SW
890Please respect copyright.PENANAL1MkKGvXCj
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.890Please respect copyright.PENANAggSAB5evBO
890Please respect copyright.PENANATlcNpqDUQG
"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?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAOYdOdiMofH
890Please respect copyright.PENANAjSQlvRYjsV
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."890Please respect copyright.PENANALuTr6mzEnC
890Please respect copyright.PENANA59pT6wS0fz
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.890Please respect copyright.PENANAcuKyWHJAfV
890Please respect copyright.PENANA6pcnBJoMke
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.890Please respect copyright.PENANASORi8DUpEj
890Please respect copyright.PENANAkNxKPzRlIV
"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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAlE2UzRzcmR
890Please respect copyright.PENANAlWDyxpaHJJ
"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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAgMZ9fo6dKy
890Please respect copyright.PENANAk3T0Sz7wbi
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.890Please respect copyright.PENANAblGr31AJVR
890Please respect copyright.PENANAj9L0iQOpLV
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.890Please respect copyright.PENANAfieprOyuwm
890Please respect copyright.PENANAhBucQo47sG
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.890Please respect copyright.PENANA2pOlMlrnbU
890Please respect copyright.PENANAe5RgHZsSOP
"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."890Please respect copyright.PENANATcBh0MDvWU
890Please respect copyright.PENANAlC42K6CXYq
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAS77JVzhvEx
890Please respect copyright.PENANAYlcvFMHVIE
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."890Please respect copyright.PENANAg3LKktHvK6
890Please respect copyright.PENANApTynbpHctP
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.890Please respect copyright.PENANAAhhRdS0IUE
890Please respect copyright.PENANAIIIlYbr2cc
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAMZSBJHnP0y
890Please respect copyright.PENANAbegJKBlgV7
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANADl94xuV5YW
890Please respect copyright.PENANApOqs4rbgYn
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."890Please respect copyright.PENANAYUQmOHzNya
890Please respect copyright.PENANAmMzln0lZib
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.890Please respect copyright.PENANAhFTG4bJcJ0
890Please respect copyright.PENANA6CnNevp751
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.890Please respect copyright.PENANAZKP3kYe4OK
890Please respect copyright.PENANAsdLL6iSBXT
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.890Please respect copyright.PENANABWU52DQw4c
890Please respect copyright.PENANAukPkQkKKY5
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZJ86M5kpB
890Please respect copyright.PENANAFCoOO67Rct
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."890Please respect copyright.PENANAK4HyTRNOyL
890Please respect copyright.PENANAuKtv1dhmtc
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.890Please respect copyright.PENANAshFwtqTQJ9
890Please respect copyright.PENANAukXs8H5ltW
"Sometimes I think you cheat."890Please respect copyright.PENANAAYpBl0tcPn
890Please respect copyright.PENANAXdavNrI1Nw
"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."890Please respect copyright.PENANATMzBhB9WSO
890Please respect copyright.PENANATxjh93DTWT
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."890Please respect copyright.PENANA6BPeuT5gEt
890Please respect copyright.PENANAzj29b5fVLb
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.890Please respect copyright.PENANASybSSh79nI
890Please respect copyright.PENANA3BTz6AfflP
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.890Please respect copyright.PENANATfrm1GLTRx
890Please respect copyright.PENANAGLEYNSNynK
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.890Please respect copyright.PENANAn2HwAIRrl8
890Please respect copyright.PENANAKjDSUobeA3
"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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAw8kgn7BdDE
890Please respect copyright.PENANAYEy7KGvKPj
"I better go give them a call, then."890Please respect copyright.PENANAah4AKubyb5
890Please respect copyright.PENANAPOlyvW9fM0
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAUwJdWliRSP
890Please respect copyright.PENANAnz1sbAHEQQ
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAdoCxbqFxeH
890Please respect copyright.PENANAmCdI42GkuS
"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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6ANU9F6Wt
890Please respect copyright.PENANAFTzvtWa1j1
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAeKPf4nlZp1
890Please respect copyright.PENANAEEoNWPNaJc
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAXnYu9pgJ1A
890Please respect copyright.PENANAcyE6DeRbxk
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?890Please respect copyright.PENANAk5E0I5mTRH
890Please respect copyright.PENANAqERpdHlieG
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAFRDEWuN6CC
890Please respect copyright.PENANABf9eydheiz
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.890Please respect copyright.PENANAvfAZndlBLi
890Please respect copyright.PENANAenwFtnH5g5
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAp4cIA7AmVC
890Please respect copyright.PENANA4GzKbFzfli
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."890Please respect copyright.PENANAKXkyWVscxC
890Please respect copyright.PENANAVqXKRoTxvb
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAscbJhAO4Dj
890Please respect copyright.PENANA9rOdf7dVtu
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"890Please respect copyright.PENANANMnQsaKQgo
890Please respect copyright.PENANArBlZAvJB1J
"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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAGYZR3Qtijj
890Please respect copyright.PENANAcSLo3voWKr
"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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAHIMxka2XnN
890Please respect copyright.PENANAvGrn6BE7TL
"Ya, sure."890Please respect copyright.PENANAMZNy5LbgdZ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAaeif59XEZO
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAD5ytyp9gb0
890Please respect copyright.PENANAF1rasSPwCg
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.890Please respect copyright.PENANAeCwAZWVjGR
890Please respect copyright.PENANAGld8FSKJlE
"Anything?" Zoey asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAsruNgZBM8M
890Please respect copyright.PENANAWixYJP1zwr
"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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAmF9fcOxqMn
890Please respect copyright.PENANAEhltuEMeR4
"Okay, well, we can wait."890Please respect copyright.PENANAQofYaJo370
890Please respect copyright.PENANAZMuhUzGb6l
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."890Please respect copyright.PENANAnI43gL4vTl
890Please respect copyright.PENANAqNj7syjSps
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."890Please respect copyright.PENANA2a3XmglD7P
890Please respect copyright.PENANAmQD4s6hlmg
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."890Please respect copyright.PENANAhuhDzuWM4g
890Please respect copyright.PENANAqwahDjn4tA
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."890Please respect copyright.PENANAEVZnslXkX4
890Please respect copyright.PENANAcMVf6Il9AO
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."890Please respect copyright.PENANA5EfiD5ssKY
890Please respect copyright.PENANAXNZyFdMAuL
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.890Please respect copyright.PENANApwsSW66fWU
890Please respect copyright.PENANAlPat5E3hVm
"We can't work on the song without them."890Please respect copyright.PENANAjkiopKE8HD
890Please respect copyright.PENANAU61y5pASEL
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."890Please respect copyright.PENANAudP5Q4taDq
890Please respect copyright.PENANA7pE83bQE1S
"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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAfZynUQbFsF
890Please respect copyright.PENANAiT3CQ07K7p
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."890Please respect copyright.PENANAklhf0HbT8R
890Please respect copyright.PENANAGzZvO10nTb
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.890Please respect copyright.PENANA8qwfoggwrO
890Please respect copyright.PENANABczfdIXiK2
"Then get your guitar and notebook."890Please respect copyright.PENANAju3e4iKw5V
890Please respect copyright.PENANAZA7jOjz5hf
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."890Please respect copyright.PENANACxXfr7fXwQ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAXoc9f1egsy
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAus2DUNEYhX
890Please respect copyright.PENANAG3pvwzPVgD
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."890Please respect copyright.PENANAuV6w0gK1gR
890Please respect copyright.PENANAyi9ol2pCD1
"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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAC2cah6wGub
890Please respect copyright.PENANAxC1aoP7wGz
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANACMwoFs5e5e
890Please respect copyright.PENANAIZXos42GlM
"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.890Please respect copyright.PENANA7PqyVVWb32
890Please respect copyright.PENANAlW7ut92Gg9
"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.890Please respect copyright.PENANALiIpsHvzWr
890Please respect copyright.PENANA5sOFszKdb9
"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?"890Please respect copyright.PENANABClMm7Y32u
890Please respect copyright.PENANA3r6jYoSN6s
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.890Please respect copyright.PENANA72PQHHCmo2
890Please respect copyright.PENANAgP792mFPBK
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."890Please respect copyright.PENANAQiIwbHHOSg
890Please respect copyright.PENANAlHDyhITJzX
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.890Please respect copyright.PENANADU86DEW4m7
890Please respect copyright.PENANAmACgk4odkh
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.890Please respect copyright.PENANA5KAx7jlxXm
890Please respect copyright.PENANAEjZWumAewa
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.890Please respect copyright.PENANA1IDfjD1BQ2
890Please respect copyright.PENANAhP7WqM7dsO
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.890Please respect copyright.PENANAbdrrXNqcVe
890Please respect copyright.PENANAW0PczeYhFd
"Yes, really," I answered.890Please respect copyright.PENANAXCjlSyAy4x
890Please respect copyright.PENANAAiI3JcpodI
"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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAZM2EKdpv7M
890Please respect copyright.PENANAEKICtCUp0M
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."890Please respect copyright.PENANAqAyUst67ww
890Please respect copyright.PENANA7vq4pDry3Q
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.890Please respect copyright.PENANA0CVOB4KgXk
890Please respect copyright.PENANAbZt7MU3H6J
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.890Please respect copyright.PENANA48Opdf3dMa
890Please respect copyright.PENANAArWvyWI2dj
"What went well?" Lee asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAycXP1npWdO
890Please respect copyright.PENANAVFoirjwd5F
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.890Please respect copyright.PENANAxGCvsPtsCJ
890Please respect copyright.PENANA4xZ0x6zJnJ
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAWRVk9ygPJd
890Please respect copyright.PENANAdsQXHW5Z0v
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAEwtkLm8smb
890Please respect copyright.PENANA2dYHmMumGN
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.890Please respect copyright.PENANA5pebY7mD4t
890Please respect copyright.PENANAdykOnEyCUE
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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAFsS0V8BY4r
890Please respect copyright.PENANANZLxL5f55o
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.890Please respect copyright.PENANAfveKjGZ3t2
890Please respect copyright.PENANAVz2pKGFlfr
"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."890Please respect copyright.PENANACVufUXk26y
890Please respect copyright.PENANA79jh4XvzbY
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.890Please respect copyright.PENANAGGqFzmEjlX
890Please respect copyright.PENANAJPfMPB1dEJ
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.890Please respect copyright.PENANAOCwu4DyvQY
890Please respect copyright.PENANALAWoBs6NoS
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.890Please respect copyright.PENANAey1IYME6fV
890Please respect copyright.PENANAURPTjKxQzf
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.890Please respect copyright.PENANAAqrQ4PgaEt
890Please respect copyright.PENANADSC1nksDWB
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAUFu1W4oa3m
890Please respect copyright.PENANAtjSAoARwTZ
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.890Please respect copyright.PENANAcoEZcR87m3
890Please respect copyright.PENANAsVInAzzmCi
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAN84sn6pvSG
890Please respect copyright.PENANAe2Ti9KS3iy
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.890Please respect copyright.PENANA4604U4a9jJ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAQJrvxYB41g
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."890Please respect copyright.PENANAfott3hrBHy
890Please respect copyright.PENANA6Dq0qTtr4H
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"890Please respect copyright.PENANArHlnInA4sV
890Please respect copyright.PENANAenW4w4quQl
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANA7K1e1phDnL
890Please respect copyright.PENANA2ESGbh2FF9
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAWSnK4REXhU
890Please respect copyright.PENANAGo1J2YxfMn
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."890Please respect copyright.PENANA0vsI0W1dao
890Please respect copyright.PENANAtLtjYpXbyI
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.890Please respect copyright.PENANAPSMLMDpuMz
890Please respect copyright.PENANAuiB2Dz4arZ
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."890Please respect copyright.PENANAt9nn3ADf07
890Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1ZZsdgUsa
"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?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAzCPPLZ0Ltk
890Please respect copyright.PENANArGDtitw2vT
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.890Please respect copyright.PENANAYnsiRagig9
890Please respect copyright.PENANAWjcDcmbQej
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.890Please respect copyright.PENANAwMy13CQdx5
890Please respect copyright.PENANAQZY518MSwS
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAhECqbJR0Lw
890Please respect copyright.PENANA2jbLqoKeJl
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.890Please respect copyright.PENANA9bQtmqisNc
890Please respect copyright.PENANAUAJvbPQGYt
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.890Please respect copyright.PENANACNqSwf5z2I
890Please respect copyright.PENANAF9hGSKywCT
"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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAXCiG4wKhJf
890Please respect copyright.PENANAtg8c7QsoQR
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.890Please respect copyright.PENANASfXPK4c00M
890Please respect copyright.PENANAJhADBrakjI
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAWy10TFRrPp
890Please respect copyright.PENANAmYoiaksYsy
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAaqEGuTJ047
890Please respect copyright.PENANAUHuoSxlZzj
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAruPLruVc9H
890Please respect copyright.PENANAEYCxyiLGoC
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAiEaNlrh6RC
890Please respect copyright.PENANA8xgR8Tl0Ef
"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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAJs4QjqINvh
890Please respect copyright.PENANA1tf0WxsuM7
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."890Please respect copyright.PENANAmHaIVZJu3R
890Please respect copyright.PENANA5JtXBk1Ltt
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."890Please respect copyright.PENANANkRvSoZpjK
890Please respect copyright.PENANAcsSvdJ2kBS
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.890Please respect copyright.PENANAgLthylRmyw
890Please respect copyright.PENANAclePQmQdpb
"What is it?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAErU6xqVzaA
890Please respect copyright.PENANA4Dx0JO8aLC
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.890Please respect copyright.PENANAagnOOqtUwW
890Please respect copyright.PENANAWrC8WHtmwx
"He's here," I said.890Please respect copyright.PENANA07M1zt9XXO
890Please respect copyright.PENANAx9np8sE03Y
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAIIX6bkK8Ch
890Please respect copyright.PENANAw8opaSgZJS
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.890Please respect copyright.PENANA77Hlmh5k2l
890Please respect copyright.PENANAc08ST87DTu
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.890Please respect copyright.PENANA4WUygC559S
890Please respect copyright.PENANAHaw43gDLJh
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.890Please respect copyright.PENANA7wOoeKU7G4
890Please respect copyright.PENANAvu00ALtlLS
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAoZDLU65MEk
890Please respect copyright.PENANASLXCQL4OjM
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.890Please respect copyright.PENANA2jIs423Gvq
890Please respect copyright.PENANA4hCtueUHiK
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."890Please respect copyright.PENANAzMtOSDXIJt
890Please respect copyright.PENANAqlXiPt3Iq9
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAP49yClZyyH
890Please respect copyright.PENANAZUY57GnPXI
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.890Please respect copyright.PENANA08bAXKIleo
890Please respect copyright.PENANARwieVvV3T0
"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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAl7PAoV1oUV
890Please respect copyright.PENANAvjnwiAGtUN
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.890Please respect copyright.PENANAJMiO7i4pKw
890Please respect copyright.PENANAHTonjcevNJ
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.890Please respect copyright.PENANAzO0dZhzLoJ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAMK2KtRi4aK
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."890Please respect copyright.PENANAgayWdvXtzB
890Please respect copyright.PENANAlFrDnUbuUx
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAtwDl5nWTdo
890Please respect copyright.PENANAjy1YRga88H
"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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAiGZSkvpV8Z
890Please respect copyright.PENANA4Qpwk8pAdE
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.890Please respect copyright.PENANAvUlfGxatLB
890Please respect copyright.PENANAab6qzIfaXE
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.890Please respect copyright.PENANAySH7F6jz10
890Please respect copyright.PENANADaXSPaK7LA
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAry0aY3x1pZ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAcZyy6UYXZY
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.890Please respect copyright.PENANAgH4Ax3csQP
890Please respect copyright.PENANAXxSMgpcOUJ
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."890Please respect copyright.PENANAtaHenG7La0
890Please respect copyright.PENANAUsXSnpkxiS
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."890Please respect copyright.PENANAKb8Thy7KIb
890Please respect copyright.PENANATG9IgZ15Hc
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAWYqzF3FkeL
890Please respect copyright.PENANAdo1dJEf9bB
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."890Please respect copyright.PENANAjUoNxQT2A6
890Please respect copyright.PENANAybmD1I35MG
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.890Please respect copyright.PENANAXqV7USxUCa
890Please respect copyright.PENANAdrnuSwFjMY
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.890Please respect copyright.PENANAtNQaNzsocC
890Please respect copyright.PENANA1KMK8gMZHY
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....890Please respect copyright.PENANAlcgfBjHrad
890Please respect copyright.PENANApPerThudEp
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."890Please respect copyright.PENANAdyUJKkWy4s
890Please respect copyright.PENANA08MbTft1du
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAWAtjBKvy8I
890Please respect copyright.PENANAz5ZGu1Z5Ha
"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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAu0GicjfiWZ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAfSbp6q9LAA
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."890Please respect copyright.PENANArm20z7vsB5
890Please respect copyright.PENANAxNcRx2HBgq
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.890Please respect copyright.PENANARa2B5GOCv3
890Please respect copyright.PENANAlKI9P6ByWb
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAk8ReNVankH
890Please respect copyright.PENANAiN2K5OvrDg
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."890Please respect copyright.PENANALPK6WFohAm
890Please respect copyright.PENANAdiV0zbrCph
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAQcHdISkZGb
890Please respect copyright.PENANAUcZIVvzyC6
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAgOG52g7rmZ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAytgIZPK3td
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"890Please respect copyright.PENANAvLYhwK6Q26
890Please respect copyright.PENANA9dAXdTsz7m
"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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAvG13RVFFX0
890Please respect copyright.PENANAlaQvBlbgOk
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.890Please respect copyright.PENANAF6YE4kN5wC
890Please respect copyright.PENANASa8JDbWrrH
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."890Please respect copyright.PENANA5JkhxcD5Fo
890Please respect copyright.PENANADHQDWqMPSM
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.890Please respect copyright.PENANATqAwnxTLtP
890Please respect copyright.PENANAcDtSowiW0H
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAmdMi1skWZZ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAoiwyUcQsJY
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.890Please respect copyright.PENANAt8hhOmlcua
890Please respect copyright.PENANAg7AbNrYrMm
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.890Please respect copyright.PENANANPxxTbuUOH
890Please respect copyright.PENANAvkbLMTmLJj
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAY3LNvBUiPg
890Please respect copyright.PENANA7ewBRyzEBW
"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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAi0KdHcWxn6
890Please respect copyright.PENANAH8ThjOgTgj
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.890Please respect copyright.PENANAu1vQYZitcx
890Please respect copyright.PENANABBOP6ApfiR
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."890Please respect copyright.PENANAVEvi4AJwQd
890Please respect copyright.PENANAhV0FDBo251
"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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAqRGTCfg1dp
890Please respect copyright.PENANAIKMfEz7L8r
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAeZha5A52Mx
890Please respect copyright.PENANAGGZj7OtEU3
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.890Please respect copyright.PENANAvJzqygSBxV
890Please respect copyright.PENANAIYuqOzWDq6
"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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAHDjYgkhf0V
890Please respect copyright.PENANAnw6tqlrlrg
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."890Please respect copyright.PENANA3q7gMzMiw2
890Please respect copyright.PENANAa4cGdEZHh1
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAjZU15tdlNT
890Please respect copyright.PENANAyJdGngvgw0
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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAq0ma8GkVs6
890Please respect copyright.PENANARgG0YKc72C
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."890Please respect copyright.PENANAnXcOvABoYg
890Please respect copyright.PENANACyKzDV6JJv
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..."890Please respect copyright.PENANAB4acxfGCTi
890Please respect copyright.PENANA4CKy016kjS
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"890Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZNoXz1N10
890Please respect copyright.PENANAlXsiDlxnxg
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.890Please respect copyright.PENANAR3df0kvs4N
890Please respect copyright.PENANAXbRVh0A2mA
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.890Please respect copyright.PENANAmMowQXTQTH
890Please respect copyright.PENANAjMnkqicQ94
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.890Please respect copyright.PENANAlBx2JOmd9g
890Please respect copyright.PENANACLKSF11jKo
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.890Please respect copyright.PENANAa7ydjNx1kT
890Please respect copyright.PENANAv1KUtLuTaT
"I can't believe it" she said.890Please respect copyright.PENANAaW6l4mEDkT
890Please respect copyright.PENANAKrpdO5U3lZ
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.890Please respect copyright.PENANAnFekFTLP9e
890Please respect copyright.PENANAoJOSsgruqr
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.890Please respect copyright.PENANAWXwDuu4mfo
890Please respect copyright.PENANAYC38yiZDjR
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.890Please respect copyright.PENANADVL1DQubp5
890Please respect copyright.PENANAEXzP0rfPEd
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.890Please respect copyright.PENANAtrU7gJ7yxT
890Please respect copyright.PENANAwlFRq4PbrR
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAkhz6ejt3KH
890Please respect copyright.PENANAZIwcIFe4QI
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANA16tQ5F3cxO
890Please respect copyright.PENANAif2GonoFd9
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:890Please respect copyright.PENANAmxUfJjtfHh
890Please respect copyright.PENANA51jyvr2dUX
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.890Please respect copyright.PENANAtD0Udxp5Ep
890Please respect copyright.PENANALWBnM0j7bB
"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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAkwAnGlD0DX
890Please respect copyright.PENANAYiiDkG9Gqf
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAjjKkn23LO4
890Please respect copyright.PENANAX6ApCZM3W8
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."890Please respect copyright.PENANAiNRlXNCt7T
890Please respect copyright.PENANAxJP1jPXR1B
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.890Please respect copyright.PENANAwHgtbeNL1C
890Please respect copyright.PENANAZG86vQzeUr
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.890Please respect copyright.PENANACVQ6jm5Qqw
890Please respect copyright.PENANAgvS5VquNAm
"He seems pretty cool."890Please respect copyright.PENANAvOtLbidzxS
890Please respect copyright.PENANAasw3oq04XK
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.890Please respect copyright.PENANAfTJ4nxqy8Y
890Please respect copyright.PENANAt329CyZJCS
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAf7iSsI4lFP
890Please respect copyright.PENANARBPqb8qbnV
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."890Please respect copyright.PENANAjaZ70AhNma
890Please respect copyright.PENANAjxW8ojQBWx
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.890Please respect copyright.PENANAlaOsVpAOF5
890Please respect copyright.PENANAChicC3Uv8D
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."890Please respect copyright.PENANA4V2Tr7FwZG
890Please respect copyright.PENANAvgL3Yabkhn
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAFSfLg8Ed3n
890Please respect copyright.PENANAvDJ12GDE4Q
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.890Please respect copyright.PENANAUAskkqwh6V
890Please respect copyright.PENANA1w4m2YlOjj
"This 'Johnny' thing?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAcPQCXDWpdV
890Please respect copyright.PENANAGVUkODNWe1
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.890Please respect copyright.PENANAxVX5w6sxNS
890Please respect copyright.PENANAWTRjux5WEa
"Why would we?" I asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAMtuS5O7twJ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAbnZztFDKL4
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."890Please respect copyright.PENANAN247pzIXrm
890Please respect copyright.PENANAb68vz0NqK6
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."890Please respect copyright.PENANAfMafpoNlOz
890Please respect copyright.PENANA53lOZE5GbF
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."890Please respect copyright.PENANAVmjZzVHMJk
890Please respect copyright.PENANAt9xUn4GAM2
"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?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAbpKYchEMnT
890Please respect copyright.PENANArHeiCnwQrv
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.890Please respect copyright.PENANAGem02c9VaK
890Please respect copyright.PENANAlY4W5Q745k
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANA0BHkPLyGR3
890Please respect copyright.PENANAvnbSMTGgmA
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."890Please respect copyright.PENANAXL3Oq4KPXU
890Please respect copyright.PENANAvLSaUoFM7K
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAKveMQhcr83
890Please respect copyright.PENANADpORnYoVaX
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.890Please respect copyright.PENANAuukZLBaXY5
890Please respect copyright.PENANAIUfIZbFcg1
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."890Please respect copyright.PENANAgmsaJTVWAY
890Please respect copyright.PENANAyDu6GZv5S1
"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.890Please respect copyright.PENANA0uaJ9nY42R
890Please respect copyright.PENANALpJzIAUni6
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.890Please respect copyright.PENANAPkKpBByblI
890Please respect copyright.PENANA5t2CwcYN3z
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.890Please respect copyright.PENANAZScgBSEO77
890Please respect copyright.PENANAJG6gc1oQuT
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.890Please respect copyright.PENANAijTltKVkWe
890Please respect copyright.PENANA9JKwtbi2qX
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.890Please respect copyright.PENANAlYPuN9sPrg
890Please respect copyright.PENANAPYcy6O4Efj
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."890Please respect copyright.PENANAtxPEUlS2M4
890Please respect copyright.PENANAsR7xJB3qjQ
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.890Please respect copyright.PENANAMxy29H4ZpS
890Please respect copyright.PENANAacNkE86rxh
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.890Please respect copyright.PENANARlsoR4x2Lj
890Please respect copyright.PENANAOcGLRMbbDT
"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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAOFgMYPFhK4
890Please respect copyright.PENANAzUnVWa9BsT
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."890Please respect copyright.PENANADo4hmE5Wuo
890Please respect copyright.PENANAbuEPiWmhxM
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAuwKhsSQDvZ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAoMKFORO1lU
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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAkwEWQuMkCv
890Please respect copyright.PENANAjEE6srok81
"Really?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAM11Epd0a1u
890Please respect copyright.PENANAAXWmMpVUOP
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAUVMxrpOcDB
890Please respect copyright.PENANAun2Mt5Sxud
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."890Please respect copyright.PENANAzL3bsDzBkr
890Please respect copyright.PENANAzDoLiPOzpM
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."890Please respect copyright.PENANA9UvEvH9ExS
890Please respect copyright.PENANAhFxvIfGoKc
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.890Please respect copyright.PENANA4HBCdFPHH3
890Please respect copyright.PENANAiUx9vJi7aQ
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."890Please respect copyright.PENANASUTtuP1H2W
890Please respect copyright.PENANACIK0Z00etU
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAxeDgos7QzW
890Please respect copyright.PENANA88LlZwGl0G
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.890Please respect copyright.PENANA4SqyhuaiiT
890Please respect copyright.PENANAgTqH62ZiKf
"Ya, you too," I answered as I smiled back.890Please respect copyright.PENANAoOUcDojSwJ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAHgJBXtEkmE
He turned and walked to the elevator. I stood there and watched him leave.890Please respect copyright.PENANAIlc9n0Vepe
890Please respect copyright.PENANAHEtP8ypu48
"Sam, get in here quick!" Zoey called out to me. "You have to see this!"890Please respect copyright.PENANA1LijTSpTsm
890Please respect copyright.PENANAA64hjCMBuw
I quickly went back into the lounge and took my seat next to Lee.890Please respect copyright.PENANAciCtXE7niX
890Please respect copyright.PENANAm4o1zkZuPl
"This better be worth the call," I said as I looked at Lee's tablet.890Please respect copyright.PENANAewngzGrF6K
890Please respect copyright.PENANAlUGCWatfRT
"There was a dance video of Lisa and some girl," said Lee as she played the video for me.890Please respect copyright.PENANA2xwqyi9dW8
890Please respect copyright.PENANApnsR6qXlMa
I watched Lisa and the young lady danced to a popular K-Pop song. There were people around that watched and cheered.890Please respect copyright.PENANAv0UVrsnm2v
890Please respect copyright.PENANAUMSg7fyVBM
"Well, that's cool," I said after the clip ended.890Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3ag9elmcg
890Please respect copyright.PENANATkC7rn7z1l
"These guys had a really good time," said Mike.890Please respect copyright.PENANAEJUIIlWKdn
890Please respect copyright.PENANA65672ZsTZ0
"Ya, but with someone you consider your enemy," said Lee.890Please respect copyright.PENANAkW6ERtbqxh
890Please respect copyright.PENANAfhPBLqpiQm
"Whatever," said Christine. "We're way past that. We just don't want any drama with him."890Please respect copyright.PENANAyTT0skhLXo
890Please respect copyright.PENANAsUEM8I70AW
"That will be impossible since he got to hang out with G-Dragon, BlackPink and WINNER who happen to be your friends."890Please respect copyright.PENANAZhbkdDeSd5
890Please respect copyright.PENANAUBpJV7Aczi
"Ya, good point," said Daniel. "What do you think we should do?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAumdjCjxGrW
890Please respect copyright.PENANAHtBQdN3oSZ
"Do we really have to do anything?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANA8UyHwsW5wt
890Please respect copyright.PENANAUgBN7kAGFj
"Don't tell me you want to think of something like a battle strategy?" Lee asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAXL5UJfOQ4o
890Please respect copyright.PENANAKgV9Ng6u8a
"Why should we?" I asked. "We have a song to work on, remember? Johnny should be the least of our problems."890Please respect copyright.PENANALa7ZZqxESA
890Please respect copyright.PENANARL3dFIoiXu
"Something tells me we are going to meet him sooner than we anticipated," said Zoey.890Please respect copyright.PENANAprmk0EIx54
890Please respect copyright.PENANAcbamAhjOOs
