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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA7O1KR1Ms
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq9CU4o7VS
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyBTpVNOUR
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SYXTTFKne
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ2XR2tybP
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaEKv6AGGZ
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb0CpAZK1o
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5OAhSewF3
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqEqU9wvrC
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCubRakF4UF
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJFJvKjRGj
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVwhS3bdwj
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rNCR6W8op
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV1tttAUyR
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqth43ND0c
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VvFCJTyYQ
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdja1Hgn8by
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx44Ju203a
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFteO5uqegM
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RPS1cJfWY
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbVfi8HSS7
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbdKWOUqdX
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7xpagChLu
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDBkh7wsYy
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVt0vGyePH
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHRgTxUjxt
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTDRFxesvG
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eRuHa4S6P
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKWiP4Josl
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBZpugJh0p
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAtPEJXlEj
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRGia1z3MK
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XobtkIxhk
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98wLAegvC8
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAJVIDACal
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzx5SgxFfL
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3HKUMF4a7
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWa6oBdQor
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhmX2hG1Wt
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqNTMusD5V
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nCjV5TZzP
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheRFpCJHT4
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9lgbRGngq
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzhYI8L13X
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGcnvj2xLI
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jVY609rwn
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte6WqXGcdt
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WobkTIaaJ
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1w8Tpa7CT
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qD5t5HPq3
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanZ8ebfQA5
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1Sxw8b3hP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAiHth07u5
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCqJUcEafo
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2eXycMh2k
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzBSmFqxkf
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2ChQuLlrE
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLy9outk62
"Sometimes I think you cheat."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2icy3E6JW4
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW59WbST8NM
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsIecVtF3m
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyZRVtKeYB
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5OkFY7XIU
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFZPD1jUgm
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJe6SkKfHW
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDGHbGfBW5
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwhT1SlkWx
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CKCkUaREl
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJufEglbwS
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflMnZAfFvk
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIJOALKzzz
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUHd3YwlQr
"I better go give them a call, then."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4330pNINw
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbtsyLVKgn
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJVv7XSz34
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LaLkFoFmC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn7q79HxDp
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWoaIqtdjz
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6ksTqnjdO
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20IQUWNt6a
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pBpUjyzMM
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rr0c6Ca67
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLGCNi2RY2
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8p3GPxDOb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZA7fY2URE
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz3FpSZMxk
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDeMHWtf3i
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2wUg7rzFK
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmByYHHWw7X
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1tQSAU0IG
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhudI6stwIT
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOhBwu76KO
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfwBPtK3jy
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKZpkHh29u
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzUPD7gLrW
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpHZGj23Hy
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RXLc5UMbb
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs6tQjHOb2
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RlIlizX8z
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW4hSBrzpo
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekZmbH3ExV
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSHikwyqiN
"Ya, sure."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHdlUhYRmy
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrXOn1a17M
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc9JBv0d73
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFCzAGFa2q
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOccgyVT2B
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDgtMEnXqd
"Anything?" Zoey asked.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8igdRBAiv
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3eQ7UQWlm
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW27cSAgcCk
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zrn5HVzUj
"Okay, well, we can wait."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVzaIEYiCZ
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPJFWS7Lzy
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldkd8BQJyS
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomtGx56Abk
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARrj1314oe
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA4ior6H31
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpzSSNqYdX
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcofWgvRTOM
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy9rShvIJi
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W7HytzGs6
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7AOCGvCrM
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwOcGKgnho
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xYWhSIeK2
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeSrlXr2ID
"We can't work on the song without them."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9m4M9P1ob
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmDO3feqmc
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXQFRxxCvh
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zm70Lv8mE
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eoBcvfMMO
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKgLZ0yfSq
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC6rVrkL9b
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlaq5pQ765
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr1UNFOP8T
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNtdmtQ9My
"Then get your guitar and notebook."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIKEByHcN0
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQKQDjiXuZ
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirlle5gr9G
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuvRqQG3dD
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVmpDbiYme
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco7KWMpeRg
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEGuLyr67s
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OreDr2vSH
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQirwQnAwL
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRqvVanfHm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueuH244VcE
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqt69vwiL7
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG9nOOs6iu
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhPodIrq7z
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn3l9e7Q7R
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5umzW1sBpv
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF5PK48WQv
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E2ciHPBhE
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnDR2ypitu
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbzhmSUpV4
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfPrEpIaKy
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRw77ycGAe
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlDAqPafFR
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC7vqZcyXi
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFRgC4RzFn
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBIu460fvN
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tEzPfGHEU
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnblqkUxIsT
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNvFw4LfIF
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNGXJSFjnf
"Yes, really," I answered.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9dikKstbR
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VsfUWsA0M
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlFBtZcyIl
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyoLw0UjeN
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDMqyA9mpe
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzj3cDIzPg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e08a7ZFs3
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfEvDlO2hv
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSISl6xqB0z
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfj92d8l10
"What went well?" Lee asked.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAVBdumxx9
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVhOkOv06Z
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUURaKLF3Fn
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVTOfMjAlZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1rxpF4FxO
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ18eg0Eu2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJX9JREnpq
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PaTRV5qAs
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SC9BCk0qS
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3ayQ54IAE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuuW0l1i6m
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXlTMGA16Q
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDNatiYDC3
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9l3aBTvMH
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrPT3Qq0ck
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSlDPU2tE6
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiAiWdM9Ka
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8lND5Y912
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMyNjMmBfE
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQY0Rg9T89
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvCT7jJC6l
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd2NtI8I7e
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xsjWZTkqn
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ii8hzkLv6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNPa8jplLE
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGuvv5m4P0
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfFY9Gynaw
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCS4Do4BOX
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtanyxq0CRh
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAyH1BbZCM
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwIKMa557m
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu9DulBOVw
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAfS41GwFJ
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUpyWo6dqZ
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHoYkCYLce
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ0lU49ZZ4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoVzft0ZK0
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPZs9vNz4e
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALXA4JG7As
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BFWdNgL4p
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhaABwJpM0
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsmIos2inC
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsrEt9zWet
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3WBhmulzy
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj09LqALBy
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe099PweVL3
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3htSsIVwI
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X4sqQrVmR
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oopXkzEwG
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5hGcvvdSt
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNw4vIJ0ri
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFBFypjN65
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52eDQOL15O
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4y61VhsZy
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABF8Mis1rg
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95g0GFfuAZ
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQXpPEXZD8
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUpowsONJL
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuM5vxuJff
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsrc7468fK
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3Nt4w5brE
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiauvgq0Im
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5jVCyjZWR
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9WbgG39ja
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83JTBDtpPb

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlHwH1s3Ng
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsJY2r54L7
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT5gTWqXDe
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML09FIHS5q
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GydBStYFe
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVb5ntzeV6
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy3oM5sXmx
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5uUje8nmI
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblXyqQpCkQ
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL0sNBz7tN
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObMFjaiIDo
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBElMHaocN
"What is it?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3Kk7A2FaM
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9bBf8oweS
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbblAK2gnpD
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zt7bvMxfn
"He's here," I said.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3YPl5hKse
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCfpE1URZs
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHUKIJfKHb
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LjR0nICp2
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJsEkO8Nhb
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllQuxGIR0z
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA7f0hgY4E
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEqVrSrcr4
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu3U52FjQa
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeJVyURP1K
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflrR8UHdVY
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3Dv5OCDCQ
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfULFALvitD
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAFxa1y9xZ
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSHly52o95
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFz7ezpcn6
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYODxYvj55l
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsZ8QJbWHj
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSnhHzSkuf
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ4L1qYJde
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zx0oi3pwY
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YJncDOSU1
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYUL1zS8N4
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx8DL8hZhV
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBI66oawaR
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qTWdgpbSn
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBNeoJasjT
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu07D6eYMi
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThGZyXCMmM
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV2MBPUzur
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y7y4NPre7
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EIdL55b0L
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVakD244OHR
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJCEbVIMCe
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGqWoksIa3
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKznqI0GE4
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna1a9NrUtH
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySMXQnjuew
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zl7Lt9QRA
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05Y1HOE9Ky
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbip5H0VVVc
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00zqwjK4l6
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhrr4G60vt
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mwQCvGrjP
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAL4iVKVr2
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXeWQ5mEgA
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKb6ynQvXu
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFw7ZdcjnB
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aCqkpGvx5
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafS6Np3sJP
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik0ksmLnna
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65sH5fOWaG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvjl653miT
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jAGz3Ht17
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jk77oLe0H
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdn1TNs2wV
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oCXwiRihD
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt4DhjlHNS
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEizhFqc9j
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrXhPLavMp
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRCTITiXTI
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSoD1ZbmQa
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiltQohtTn
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9GGcd3gRl
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6l4DyUBXB
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJCpQ6ldSW
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X9XTTDAbj
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfWWNSnSvi
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4tcQBVhEl
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ExWU9W53E
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7SFmblrId
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiZOqdBGKW
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCxyDJfIl8
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpGKCrQ69d
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLezX0bC9A
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA5Pum1jcS
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMQ3265Ptp
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm5pJr7T36
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFXvIrGnLd
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo6DmPJWHI
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOGz19LGNh
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YKiW9YcU1
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhfo629zhy
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xArWgaK7a
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjqSqor7mM
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wu2DenxCW
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCnloqk2sb
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ge2fkDZVQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSdw74CP9Q
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0NUYU3cCH
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sa3gc1Ti2
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpbeBZajA6
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTMCgjks6N
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u540c5Nzd
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCla62F7WhY
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48bTYkFI7u
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwfFRUoMdf
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9NKAteqn4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC8GmfYyEW
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt1kdF2HOZ
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxNKtVmzH0
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qBbwWFuLq
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOKNAdA93N
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAtvzpDBhd
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2XOFiuCC9
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyX69pXlY8
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K3Csq5lgP
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2uXonZ9a6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yBPB7FnPW
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9S1mwvg6h
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2CHXW2uUm
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtObn0gMiF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs5KWIM8JQ
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfv19i8YqS
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN4zLc5lNy
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPp4kmv0u5
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQEqTocFPA
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4eghewiWQ
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaJchSiFyn
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjktcz9VW9
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEDdubSa1M
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiut4dP4FiB
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5exXmUjRZ
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8j6OVRZDW
"I can't believe it" she said.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu4w2fyKOO
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2wiVeBBi1
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY7wpRNglk
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1fjJ33gca
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcfUAa76gy
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9XmciQvHc
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OxTZghuYH
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o0n0EzRkn
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30RkTfzEq3
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fvqMvrEsX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3thqrUmbKu
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKyfWj0atf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ps28iGMK1
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEys5RnSzSP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHIqkQluzT
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavxUa7mO5h
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4jMmFzKjd
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyENIFb8gQR
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6gvnX6WAq
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJiLhGyTuF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXTIwn1jQ7
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG75mg4Mgoj
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQumgY8aF7
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7edlmIlZaV
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuC4Lt3Uor
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO8Bs6Pzkt
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFlQsSuCeI
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ493Dt5XYl1
"He seems pretty cool."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarjQeUHvkK
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt129ylyzEO
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSXOwvInbn
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GzYMmebSy
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShMd0kjtgU
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEPa6ouiFV
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04XCnkWQ7C
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZz7gx4Wfo
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5twNXqFBRn
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUAtHV8AXe
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJFq5PlVXD
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAN7YwPAh8
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGMSgiWwzv
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bXKqtw4O4
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr18RNOz1W
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK3l2YxMHo
"This 'Johnny' thing?"890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FYynMseJp
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HAssZNqPB
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxTc1GBtb2
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPuRp4Xjj3
"Why would we?" I asked.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7051W4ky8
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jIYDaMZZY
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWcOYdw5Op
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAWdCaREX7
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDYQ7QRw2r
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7UvSzXNTG
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5InkcNvOQ0
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb5QYLLdb1
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIScZqIzg6
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstYGvMd17z
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTLqjmLwfq
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6ERLHdvOA
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dhCR2kmeS
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ876a2h1SiH
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qTEM8Fx5H
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGir59NHp8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB5nZRcatk
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xIt0JselK
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYdscjDOSu
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw5KymG3or
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAHyfC9Yz1
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYPjlHwNgg
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcVBMWNdxH
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEdIWxoajo
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBNiDzaieO
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNizKcfwRA
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLKlZJ9lSN
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6blzlRFOb
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsdnTEOHMg
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnU0r204qz
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mqGnRS8KP
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA6uBgos6G
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzyKN59wbi
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRnN4E5Z8K
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5zB4xSTBW
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33Hkwbi9TK
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrJhJf3kJu
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBqIyWuyEj
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fJPRpuusR
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UoROHu50Y
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAdTi9ZYsi
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusd3MLFbJH
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvopxjniHHi
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KM5d3X1sv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzqFFgcyCg
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3CZzLOTZy
"Really?"890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGSO54CEST
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aaNAHjZj9
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6dwBX8RJC
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NMI88j1g8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK22SGzX68
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44MLRY7P5h
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgInIZGbghp
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8HIxq0v6q
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyJl44y1Eo
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBavYDD5bni
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLOmvTcBJm
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJAHETTSSC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil6bWiJHn9
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnpw4iLPiF
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsniAcrGVNW
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULx1RgeHjd
