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?805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDElMthk95H
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOluWfaRWxq
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaNB1XS1yz
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNm7vB1y4C
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr3s3Nzvrh
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLup1CZ30Tu
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN4JDXFJw4
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWMQKqzhza
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLToY9R260n
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt94CO5tP2L
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dalDYvfyE
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEwC1kPE0s
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YoJOCdrsa
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqfXoBmilC
"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?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc4o5opwDT
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q0YrfOteo
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjXmZQJDDc
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4yLulsATc
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6uMM8bEOx
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0oYdwTcyL
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1MBjW1jVn
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dNKmL9ZRn
"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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fpa47cJDt
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi1xog87Zo
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcZDR9bKNj
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61UcAp9G3k
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5u0Ph9o5K
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLm8yK9kuc
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80PzJLzfbd
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9EC9Eov8t
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUZMS4Rv2O
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkgROgNDWE
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnJsnDDLmI
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjnQLUoRKW
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouNqg6bHW7
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4a80MY833
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac2Pci5gzQ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzPEpHZS3C
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DZOXTf1cb
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv0M3XOA4W
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf2XggkOi0
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWpwsSM1Og
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W42MmHpFB
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9zXaQ6JL3
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN6qSrjsx6
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS1OK27ylR
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYawKGEf7pq
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaFdc7nwJS
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MaYAb6eiB
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfRUIgsS0w
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zpbbjMYhB
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHngfUwoFA
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfU0xGmAkw
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8lOQzHij2
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBk4qeqLZh
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQikkQeXuO
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6wAwJV0r8
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ727YtRgbWR
"Sometimes I think you cheat."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDA7XDz4Wr
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqU7TXSduP
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pOXzGiZ3p
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTSXeAPhVx
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFluZ3XFA7
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnvg0RIpOD
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW9lryQnvY
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvCWJc971z
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPsmZeXL2V
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4UD0eEAI1
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK4JHQds1r
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptCb0bFkTR
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqxq4l1se6
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmlVKRspl5
"I better go give them a call, then."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9UNIkNQZu
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs9m0tu2MN
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN90Krz2JbF
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVTnF6dQco
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaqxqb4uwl
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCaqekVqRO
"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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2vGWFj0lE
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb01UOCmFZ
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdYpq49o2G
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pUvElzY7F
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxjO2UCE1N
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyYK5wjAEs
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?805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x6HxIGz4B
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18HtUH2veT
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0Dq3sIZM3
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFAp0QpErP
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QkYIjnHDt
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGbJ1elk1D
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5lbKDnukJ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpmo4YSDtc
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAxOIm6zGB
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uRb0RfJ39
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSu9of6pwi
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp6lvBEBWk
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSOJuzbeVc
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMb98l9skd
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmszbGha4Wt
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XmN1t5Bq3
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoinWjWa25T
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYh9047wWl
"Ya, sure."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF567OPE3b
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM8jGHM9oe
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtd5KVVmUf
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltiAvj4b80
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5VOMs1Rg1
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTPJW37KT3
"Anything?" Zoey asked.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VclPV6TG7
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRYLMM7YBk
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXJ6ZP70CH
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcsfoUEcSp
"Okay, well, we can wait."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWhf298PCD
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk34cuT0RI
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMheWnmH4is
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojMPzKcYxd
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7BE5TWhAA
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fto9WXJn4
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLuNCPFsvR
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhTo8XatQI
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkbLMri4VQ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItvtfb3rtU
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWGvM7FmeQ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsQSmgcxQ0
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uD9HX4AcU
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GTstgqzZ6
"We can't work on the song without them."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmPLARsn9L
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAqP2ShnYF
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qj7hhyWjk
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymGSmZw9Qu
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz2XBj5HLz
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eh5KojFeL
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumUUxSdihF
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BSMHvgeRO
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJggo3B3Lp
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iel6MPNP0
"Then get your guitar and notebook."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzcajeQFHx
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNX7nLiKKv
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaSj48zPbR
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmMEAMa4kP
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9WgNgueK9
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq15X0xHrm
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM5UrFtLuO
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMWsS6pK1E
"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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkEdV7Facf
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYS3sEWidh
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HDLxSOvqg
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffzwz8lQHW
"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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq0BACJjGK
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEgVwwyREI
"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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpoRROA3Cg
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4AQAgL9mz
"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?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZdIvIcqLJ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMElOT0MJH
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU1Xdq1VfO
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFRr2tO6Hw
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwrzWGEhLT
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNewxql1Tyw
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3IsE3ADxc
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52OFuDNfIy
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQly8VFzyl
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CpdRGnqbs
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nj1dnNvT7
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1NvBumeDZ
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUbtRSxyIo
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMBXJWd0hq
"Yes, really," I answered.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCYQ2zTGYX
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p3RNjhQaz
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfPpLYO3UE
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx08crPCNC
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbboih1FTr
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cMRX8tBWl
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiZLRKniW1
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrYnvstyDQ
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2LuKJqLWp
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnioGfKIsD
"What went well?" Lee asked.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU16KinwV3
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXFXWKT5JJ
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIoPJlPsWh
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE5ZhpmJLc
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCvEGAdUSK
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjaaQUv7Ym
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BPsnnI7nu
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNbUke0euS
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOgfq3sNuJ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFnSxQnEVd
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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXHgQlz3iF
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN9kFMxURr
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqDgxRciS5
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdrhhZ9gcO
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3QCHzsjiH
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGstXhvdEP
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp52XLR5vSo
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtwUxRYDnA
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoVPC8MEoZ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2ijG3gaQJ
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsqqtc6nMq
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3hwMiJ70e
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57qRvK1SJR
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ3I5THtYo
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzAWz7smdX
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOFp9JDyRp
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡActtAXcR1Q
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK48cJKtF2b
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVfziEFzfd
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOsiDpZMId
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTQSY7hqh2
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqVrJBjv80
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0LPqG5HSH
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVr5MjrRdq
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTibIohlF3q
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9eDnGy5wN
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAGxpGa6dk
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXBY8o45PO
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsQqTQIeYO
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DYGPQO387
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8awkodaGQ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnEP90IMf6
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP8vdsH87y
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkWeA9fPSU
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfFi8SR4KS
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsDLdRGFy6
"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?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSXGbUU9Eo
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTqvIEDcWL
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLMhc0N5DB
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKSwk9UH45
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7IhKB8ymn
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcolpQrImZ
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFLK5aFeOO
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg0dC8lU2o
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBklHla0fHN
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ed01d1DR5
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK7IVyxHks
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCYX1mp7j8
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIePBStpPB
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CCTH0ZoM5
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAl2oNgbub
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZMrhE6zNS
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKpz8FKOZK
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UbqE24Iz7
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42aJVJDV71

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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFfhiyHzGA
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEIqyxp2JD
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdURDnHPI8M
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD4eAvATL0
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDUZOGH5SA
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTRkcTUklP
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXBvwLD9IT
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ3Uw0ddFJ
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0CbUf1SWz
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s4VPn3d4i
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8GuQ2Utvi
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfqEN4VJMh
"What is it?" Christine asked.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76epU0oQUN
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VlnKMW32v
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFxdFEMvuK
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXqxuESc27
"He's here," I said.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVqFn345me
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUXrEhmHTs
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL3aYioWuY
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJwxXVQ56d
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WKPF0IyHZ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkTF9IYfzd
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkCLOiBWkb
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgccLjsTAg
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6atZGrMh1l
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdfUuo5rDQ
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRERoMbGMj
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CIUh7uTq4
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4vZ6H87A6
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp6BOqh5Qg
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEuM3JEqLM
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwbgGKUjHp
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGiYiDsWTa
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYRpexviAK
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ923uSzmx5C
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcDshVoNHl
"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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtrDzflXh8
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9R86VEbsG
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneEqDutFXB
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikT63AuNbs
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP2n3BXnOa
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrbS1P3vnq
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoER9OdGMCx
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWn9BJPvIa
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJkoeWWHVv
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb4nZh6T6m
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNWGs2cCnk
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3k7K23lmN
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUwDQ0BtF7
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvKINPtngT
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8Na8ucoMC
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hIr36QDT1
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJSH0j3MBg
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnsyEGEitD
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaY3v3XkKr
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH28fNzI6m
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvkX5MregX
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioXT2UKWsw
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLoiCr5Iky
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPErrmiRc6P
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqa7oZda1s
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLe4BafJKS
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqqo474y2x
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNidjRyoLk
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2tRbE8Ps7
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXGWAeTOgv
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnQcwHgIUP
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOpKKjZcLP
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....805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs78yNywoK
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2bMgBiW6C
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnKbfoAVk3
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmymG5NgEpi
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY3ZMu9uym
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33ifqyyIPf
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75AiHXnfBN
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehQK8JMIGd
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ06yABjjO
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3FB9f3LHZ
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8oXRZCycc
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ESJd08hJm
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaMwWAnoOZ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgE0lhtg4P
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6MpoNBKQA
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QvSZTHZs7
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj9FDwSu1T
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKQ3TESoRw
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV3WK0ahfb
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pQGl1mPsc
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYWQsHHd0m
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmIWAG7qxP
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1cwwoGFhb
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqplKDowqz
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVdvSwgiNs
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk72vY6tUAU
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LKMTMakbs
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5kncY0e6m
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAVt3GMqXG
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIEFproqhg
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu31SGunLo
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZJWWO3vPu
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7Y1HPnaRF
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH39nobi1EC
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ48dIQGbPN
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEE1n7XYG8
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFG1K3jFk1
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxbqW72tVr
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgXchKBAdQ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQuTA0hlg2
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H9OK8Eqha
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVZXU3r3nF
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy4I1UHjAV
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVUV1jsiEY
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzvQbnGh3s
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R8o1JcFIH
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMN2yheWnx
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjvcrrc6LE
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xmg5ucuUj
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOuqvkOwtb
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIWmu7snfx
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62hDPtnMad
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LjThW4iqL
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIvVugKTLW
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzl2FV5lx1
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjSZOuG4xx
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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVm2k8B8Q0
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lhgD2Za3t
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg7HVT9LuP
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdZU4H9S9w
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..."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkFAUvz6QT
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs7nZB1Lsz
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGXRPy6UVi
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPJgvDTGTO
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7jtCYZb4W
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJeFjuQkD5
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqjs6MXVzz
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDBpbbGIP3
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsiAM4RfGx
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41ioIncGyc
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0npsAGao5
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyfqhtiqZs
"I can't believe it" she said.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmNL3jKqcR
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTfoRML5S3
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVLRUy5cHs
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl0ksUAKli
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6cMGNKksV
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N9AmdfQ9r
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlUwjVxqGQ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL42ujDLYyt
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49RetWoAiv
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQP92FGRld
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHvu2TNyVo
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4hE9W5Tvz
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z4rdUjnQA
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysynP5r1xz
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:805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZi7d3AEgJ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjvfPJKdKm
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdgWHVbO7c
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnT561lEq6
"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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxsOoPaktq
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVObPfLdox
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao8PplxHYa
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IRvP23Wkg
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9WgP7GHU5
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07JC8Mm1If
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXtpGw97LE
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77N6FOciYp
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5eSCMHHSL
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWgcaNcspq
"He seems pretty cool."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1ILtXyBR7
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax2DonDExo
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yz7JBVnJo
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlOeZge2p7
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhJoXuhz1l
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01gwTfKp1Q
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWNrw3e0Dg
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwE6kUijve
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6AYrTibqA
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqNA9iViek
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdeRIZE6el
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2ZBTjJY6A
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lGyJroTi0
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzivCEYcPr
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rsFf8jrPt
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zEIeG0qtr
"This 'Johnny' thing?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrsLU3Ki7v
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP60O3kef2g
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeApNEiRg1
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJElXXsW33y
"Why would we?" I asked.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST9z39e8GK
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTknU9oQvIB
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagni7HTHWw
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNmIF0dcBk
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o3inLLtgT
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkHrOJrxet
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhypmtsmPnl
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWVrC03uLS
"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?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡythP9Y8Fdx
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4ccJZv2sG
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8R40ITlJw
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKOfGxE8Gc
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhArCiVjmLn
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9NrFAvMxv
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXowABsAjzJ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxddwIv0P3
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KlkYLQMmx
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPTzZBWBYa
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoY5FpEz59
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojQatBOiOc
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kN8uFZRz9
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbReUyA5vI
"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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UNUSypOKw
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnHM87Hqk9
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e7qR3B3ie
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2wxsbFrW8
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4ObO6INvm
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChHUWB1XYg
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZgWAGnmyp
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NIfBZkZtt
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYzPZYcjA7
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvWdT6luv9
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ck6dREzz2
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWsOdduEMh
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZzKVGqgk3
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK913wVgUZm
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmmplDP8vU
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAbbqbOXw8
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD2qLVqNqQ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZc6cHjAdC
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEA7NCpvhh
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCWddOhSnv
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9xZJd41Fm
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOv7xyVr56
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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7Z5OdoZ9H
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2Fl4ZWeJY
"Really?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5eTpSB6cL
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpY0r0VoqZ
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtob0xANmO
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWMkd297H9
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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zYDBaN5nt
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEoxDQTjk9
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAogX8QqXMx
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMUp9kvsE8
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAMURD6WlT
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTvVqRbPwo
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx8Ju5uk3S
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ7lyN0ODr
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrErCMJMy5e
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lyDuu1kdd
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2XU5xarEv
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN0KigCnzm

For a moment, we didn't say a thing as Lee stood up from the couch, taking the tablet with her back to the dining table. The others who stood went to take their seats. For a moment, some of us sat, slumped on the couch.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxx0jEPpyV
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qRUrGrHH2
"Aren't you guys going to continue working on the song?" Lee asked at the dining area. We had been quiet for what felt like forever.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqYh7M16xE

The five of us all looked at each other. It was surprising we wanted something sweet to boost our spirits. We needed some fresh air too. We all turned to look at Lee who sighed. She needed a doughnut too.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6viBvrMxb
