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?889Please respect copyright.PENANAlKgS2PEFLI
889Please respect copyright.PENANAD8SlYksv00
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.889Please respect copyright.PENANA34zlBbejkh
889Please respect copyright.PENANABjzj0RdXVC
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.889Please respect copyright.PENANACK7YZSBCga
889Please respect copyright.PENANAhHdbGQmesQ
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.889Please respect copyright.PENANA6THRc4TDnW
889Please respect copyright.PENANAfqZg1XxlSK
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.889Please respect copyright.PENANADRBxnFYxI0
889Please respect copyright.PENANA9ogHpCFeiC
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.889Please respect copyright.PENANAdzXbFyV0EA
889Please respect copyright.PENANAeyuQOhx0jH
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.889Please respect copyright.PENANAzww3BGbnr4
889Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2iVg7fQKv
"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?"889Please respect copyright.PENANAyUdRNCvP15
889Please respect copyright.PENANAI6RcEPM4Lg
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."889Please respect copyright.PENANAaOa3RMWNq3
889Please respect copyright.PENANAlaTq8OMepN
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.889Please respect copyright.PENANAk3fZ5OFfp0
889Please respect copyright.PENANAEvXDVeQBF1
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.889Please respect copyright.PENANA8w6Orwk39s
889Please respect copyright.PENANAx6IVsflBKE
"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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAwDC3Ka4BWc
889Please respect copyright.PENANAPmxEpaohvw
"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."889Please respect copyright.PENANAnk9TYMbXKk
889Please respect copyright.PENANAm0bjv7S1DS
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.889Please respect copyright.PENANAev9VWUWUB8
889Please respect copyright.PENANAkdIFOVKlNI
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.889Please respect copyright.PENANAdsGDul8b59
889Please respect copyright.PENANAtmvmyWkrcI
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.889Please respect copyright.PENANAMpRFjHJ84N
889Please respect copyright.PENANA5bzP3p51bg
"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."889Please respect copyright.PENANATUtFGdHNuH
889Please respect copyright.PENANAOvKIP2zELm
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.889Please respect copyright.PENANACsg0ezdHQP
889Please respect copyright.PENANAsCZ6jDGI3P
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."889Please respect copyright.PENANAJzwssC1bJS
889Please respect copyright.PENANA652QMPSHck
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.889Please respect copyright.PENANAFHat0jRP0j
889Please respect copyright.PENANATP5aeRFMsI
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANA37YcoFP8Ep
889Please respect copyright.PENANA5Cmx94xBw5
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.889Please respect copyright.PENANA5xwsDuurFI
889Please respect copyright.PENANAgaQVGe6vvJ
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."889Please respect copyright.PENANAeCStngXrNg
889Please respect copyright.PENANA8NerbsUYh1
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.889Please respect copyright.PENANAoB5VnXf7DG
889Please respect copyright.PENANAYzP5WIY6kw
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.889Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6a84drc4K
889Please respect copyright.PENANAHjvbjk2MeJ
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.889Please respect copyright.PENANAlgniBbS83F
889Please respect copyright.PENANANFcdQXX2vX
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANA9qVweycjL8
889Please respect copyright.PENANApj5trUP2H3
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."889Please respect copyright.PENANArS7ZnRYk4M
889Please respect copyright.PENANAXePfldP5E9
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.889Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ8CQ7TC73
889Please respect copyright.PENANAY2oSinmAYr
"Sometimes I think you cheat."889Please respect copyright.PENANAA2nFkG2UH8
889Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z1J445ROL
"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."889Please respect copyright.PENANAq2W2ooPd0o
889Please respect copyright.PENANA2vy15TzAWo
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."889Please respect copyright.PENANAf3yU5Po2L2
889Please respect copyright.PENANAGYQipDcM9V
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.889Please respect copyright.PENANA2fDIPk9Agq
889Please respect copyright.PENANAVRKCLoXzXX
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.889Please respect copyright.PENANAxaqsmCPka5
889Please respect copyright.PENANAbXVD9FqaUB
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.889Please respect copyright.PENANAa26JCmtLxG
889Please respect copyright.PENANAEMD4YvR9L1
"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."889Please respect copyright.PENANAsfjQxOA3aN
889Please respect copyright.PENANALWdkUCngiF
"I better go give them a call, then."889Please respect copyright.PENANAXys3jsukOi
889Please respect copyright.PENANAJcpoE8rYtp
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAGvYIVyy9it
889Please respect copyright.PENANAMK0n7UAgTX
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAxJDo8cNAEc
889Please respect copyright.PENANARPZ03nN0j3
"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.889Please respect copyright.PENANA64oDketneE
889Please respect copyright.PENANAaJXyaNDI8z
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAc9OxaYBsJW
889Please respect copyright.PENANAfs3LXo9lo6
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAO8pIhXtGuo
889Please respect copyright.PENANAqZXqv758de
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?889Please respect copyright.PENANAeqTb4jelQ2
889Please respect copyright.PENANAXoVdVP48fL
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZindQnft9
889Please respect copyright.PENANArHa3XdU2eR
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.889Please respect copyright.PENANARv28u656vc
889Please respect copyright.PENANAu3aOFIFgH2
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.889Please respect copyright.PENANA9mcUGIMVlc
889Please respect copyright.PENANAn1cuQAxsuq
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."889Please respect copyright.PENANAnbnSVBl6LU
889Please respect copyright.PENANAlmo7EAfZHv
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"889Please respect copyright.PENANAy8SKOUShcM
889Please respect copyright.PENANArctKTQAjhd
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"889Please respect copyright.PENANAgolo7qxupS
889Please respect copyright.PENANAYdWLT944yF
"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."889Please respect copyright.PENANAdMtUvivtS7
889Please respect copyright.PENANAFPPEW0aGdX
"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."889Please respect copyright.PENANAQP440w10wE
889Please respect copyright.PENANAMQhatdRsyo
"Ya, sure."889Please respect copyright.PENANAK0OJxjtxtI
889Please respect copyright.PENANAH01cleJ4F5
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANA0mRWMACKhm
889Please respect copyright.PENANAXNxeaG9Liw
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.889Please respect copyright.PENANAUullxEYmAt
889Please respect copyright.PENANAb2WiPbS8rz
"Anything?" Zoey asked.889Please respect copyright.PENANAWpDrfWS5UY
889Please respect copyright.PENANAboxPqNoZgg
"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."889Please respect copyright.PENANAiggMlqjurj
889Please respect copyright.PENANAmtFBmZkCJy
"Okay, well, we can wait."889Please respect copyright.PENANA2zwxTmJblt
889Please respect copyright.PENANA3NZ3jhdlRt
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."889Please respect copyright.PENANAl2zCLA1PF8
889Please respect copyright.PENANA8X8Hl5mAR0
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."889Please respect copyright.PENANASnK6OoW4lw
889Please respect copyright.PENANALGVQ81NUNW
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."889Please respect copyright.PENANAM01JHRVA8B
889Please respect copyright.PENANAsmn1JNsank
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."889Please respect copyright.PENANAOh4tXRJvyN
889Please respect copyright.PENANAiFRxjRlEye
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."889Please respect copyright.PENANADgIQKokpdx
889Please respect copyright.PENANAF5fqMVJjHM
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.889Please respect copyright.PENANAs0ENkgVd5l
889Please respect copyright.PENANATMG9dssom4
"We can't work on the song without them."889Please respect copyright.PENANADCVmNz0bBF
889Please respect copyright.PENANAlW5RF3Cvki
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."889Please respect copyright.PENANAzY8kwvldXc
889Please respect copyright.PENANAP7Uo88bG8A
"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."889Please respect copyright.PENANAwNfJV2Wppt
889Please respect copyright.PENANAzuYM2ymcK2
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."889Please respect copyright.PENANAe8r52ZLgtK
889Please respect copyright.PENANAUho6U0T9l9
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.889Please respect copyright.PENANASXNAkRg7jf
889Please respect copyright.PENANAhvQ71jAWY9
"Then get your guitar and notebook."889Please respect copyright.PENANAWvlvZaXHfE
889Please respect copyright.PENANA5AEOSjhWcT
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."889Please respect copyright.PENANAKABKwqif1s
889Please respect copyright.PENANAcwjY567GKM
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"889Please respect copyright.PENANAsm6KdTyD9P
889Please respect copyright.PENANAFoglPlu5nQ
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."889Please respect copyright.PENANAKCYFeJsZ3H
889Please respect copyright.PENANAhk2aCV0uYI
"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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAqtNEFNi7Vf
889Please respect copyright.PENANATSfztpwCvm
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAz6cf86Jdam
889Please respect copyright.PENANAXEX3oHvLSJ
"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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAaXdmKDD2jD
889Please respect copyright.PENANAIZUW1sSlyg
"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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAn1rzJj7DzQ
889Please respect copyright.PENANATrgMpoKFTr
"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?"889Please respect copyright.PENANA63qnN8ysXC
889Please respect copyright.PENANA2QVkTr9J1P
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.889Please respect copyright.PENANAL1YYRaErlc
889Please respect copyright.PENANA7LFpIOrALH
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."889Please respect copyright.PENANAZVND2PPWq7
889Please respect copyright.PENANADlwFFcgaRb
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.889Please respect copyright.PENANAD9ObhG9Prm
889Please respect copyright.PENANASQrET6tTKc
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.889Please respect copyright.PENANAJzNlvMO869
889Please respect copyright.PENANAxSWgwSgb7K
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.889Please respect copyright.PENANAftofGQWB7O
889Please respect copyright.PENANAMESVVdBX6D
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.889Please respect copyright.PENANAP6L45AIITx
889Please respect copyright.PENANA76bBhVHoLM
"Yes, really," I answered.889Please respect copyright.PENANAkBL93DVVqt
889Please respect copyright.PENANAiRCmrsdB9o
"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."889Please respect copyright.PENANAWOOrg2tao5
889Please respect copyright.PENANAMopqj3DfM7
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."889Please respect copyright.PENANAeNUb9y0K05
889Please respect copyright.PENANArUkEVzZODv
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.889Please respect copyright.PENANAiqnUFVrg2F
889Please respect copyright.PENANASQ7rkVnOvX
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.889Please respect copyright.PENANATjHrHsjf02
889Please respect copyright.PENANA8piYw6Fmuu
"What went well?" Lee asked.889Please respect copyright.PENANATZizEOyRjp
889Please respect copyright.PENANAXRgOdcriPq
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.889Please respect copyright.PENANANzGUUt3PDt
889Please respect copyright.PENANAqXg3ngktxH
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANA4oKnt7At6R
889Please respect copyright.PENANA92LkwbKH4e
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANArsuCicrwO2
889Please respect copyright.PENANA88HUZvP5EN
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.889Please respect copyright.PENANAoPzRmRRvNW
889Please respect copyright.PENANAq3QSLfAzak
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."889Please respect copyright.PENANAyPcaorDSkV
889Please respect copyright.PENANAkXE1ya2XHx
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.889Please respect copyright.PENANAs0Zpd844sC
889Please respect copyright.PENANAwdcBSKObNY
"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."889Please respect copyright.PENANAyD7zM8MaA3
889Please respect copyright.PENANAJSuaRxOsBr
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.889Please respect copyright.PENANAZPpAwN1OpD
889Please respect copyright.PENANAoHowRRu54g
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.889Please respect copyright.PENANAqBsWMkCRch
889Please respect copyright.PENANAoe0Z4aHoNi
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.889Please respect copyright.PENANAcjyfnL1mBP
889Please respect copyright.PENANA9I42pYLUVe
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.889Please respect copyright.PENANAdiS2UzJCLC
889Please respect copyright.PENANAxSnsN9bnvT
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAIOS0vYmSuh
889Please respect copyright.PENANA5sgjSxxSoM
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.889Please respect copyright.PENANAJh6BeEfQgM
889Please respect copyright.PENANAKfpx1ww4Jb
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.889Please respect copyright.PENANAQiAtbhWCxI
889Please respect copyright.PENANASXVZsxmHaR
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.889Please respect copyright.PENANA41JxsRJABk
889Please respect copyright.PENANANnkFp2LIk8
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."889Please respect copyright.PENANAtYo4ggNdAo
889Please respect copyright.PENANAnblQyI2Ze7
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"889Please respect copyright.PENANA9JuEJdwRWK
889Please respect copyright.PENANAwBMJBpTqYQ
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAPnzi32brL3
889Please respect copyright.PENANAMed8ocqe7S
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"889Please respect copyright.PENANADKdRTR6CPo
889Please respect copyright.PENANA2COEjhjkBN
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."889Please respect copyright.PENANAL3iOnuW4d5
889Please respect copyright.PENANA7msVyF4qpv
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.889Please respect copyright.PENANA9QDTP9s83N
889Please respect copyright.PENANAJOWlzn7SxC
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."889Please respect copyright.PENANAnYr5apCOlZ
889Please respect copyright.PENANAiEgBIA1qHR
"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?"889Please respect copyright.PENANAevxdONNIDT
889Please respect copyright.PENANA7hbuDmvEl1
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.889Please respect copyright.PENANAkSAM24yYla
889Please respect copyright.PENANAjoIyABlEtA
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.889Please respect copyright.PENANAIKQtwaGksp
889Please respect copyright.PENANAVcSUSnV62b
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"889Please respect copyright.PENANAYr9lgmE2nY
889Please respect copyright.PENANAsGo3cit25K
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.889Please respect copyright.PENANASmd58XoyKD
889Please respect copyright.PENANAOqPz1QuZXw
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.889Please respect copyright.PENANACOnJRoGRcI
889Please respect copyright.PENANA9oVSeSMzYP
"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."889Please respect copyright.PENANAxxkaYoduFB
889Please respect copyright.PENANAs9IOLtuYwd
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.889Please respect copyright.PENANALhaAYVMSnq
889Please respect copyright.PENANAA7dCY3inL6
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"889Please respect copyright.PENANAuKTjaafM5C
889Please respect copyright.PENANAD6D9UyZ2XD
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAxsZqnTYI1r
889Please respect copyright.PENANAJPouwiKQmp
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAaP5BArgjxT
889Please respect copyright.PENANAQT9QFXmX1J
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.889Please respect copyright.PENANAzkJkMA7VCF
889Please respect copyright.PENANA5qGGeNdTNI
"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."889Please respect copyright.PENANA1cxu3OA4r9
889Please respect copyright.PENANA90SnZ5QadC
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."889Please respect copyright.PENANATAV4vmGCWk
889Please respect copyright.PENANAuS7OaIzLVG
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."889Please respect copyright.PENANA9qZC8p6YnT
889Please respect copyright.PENANAEhxMxErmzs
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.889Please respect copyright.PENANAmffEh0DKRS
889Please respect copyright.PENANAAMG4NRu1wd
"What is it?" Christine asked.889Please respect copyright.PENANApj1lFDBTkE
889Please respect copyright.PENANAjkU7aVQB4G
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.889Please respect copyright.PENANANa9aRtWUl6
889Please respect copyright.PENANAHaDEmcvEDp
"He's here," I said.889Please respect copyright.PENANAsLs43lwbse
889Please respect copyright.PENANA7s2mPN5h0u
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"889Please respect copyright.PENANASHHU5Tx3BW
889Please respect copyright.PENANAHkcJXFFQIM
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.889Please respect copyright.PENANAZFTJoiEmY5
889Please respect copyright.PENANAc2B6i2laxR
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.889Please respect copyright.PENANATZQDzBE738
889Please respect copyright.PENANAoVgkVJVbFw
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.889Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZG72YG0lZ
889Please respect copyright.PENANA3ERrBXo40S
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"889Please respect copyright.PENANAQBF5KtTtK1
889Please respect copyright.PENANAOdURzxvRza
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.889Please respect copyright.PENANAFoGcNT9nsE
889Please respect copyright.PENANARWJxBlkwCR
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."889Please respect copyright.PENANACaIxicR5wa
889Please respect copyright.PENANAqEopiuYMl7
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.889Please respect copyright.PENANAzzPVJX08ld
889Please respect copyright.PENANAowS9pzcett
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.889Please respect copyright.PENANAPNusr82I0S
889Please respect copyright.PENANABUF3R4WiG5
"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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAfwE9jHVyQF
889Please respect copyright.PENANAqPeC4rl9iN
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.889Please respect copyright.PENANA6WxjuwlpHJ
889Please respect copyright.PENANAPmtvVQfaRm
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.889Please respect copyright.PENANA0gF7nsqP8L
889Please respect copyright.PENANAabIXfkb5aZ
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."889Please respect copyright.PENANA9jq2q5C4As
889Please respect copyright.PENANARiGH8Ybw2C
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAAEcOiFUZhH
889Please respect copyright.PENANAUNULsAwUjO
"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."889Please respect copyright.PENANAWhANv2Mi6I
889Please respect copyright.PENANAM2tvNEu9y4
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.889Please respect copyright.PENANA0w01M0LMXd
889Please respect copyright.PENANAsstU8CHUGl
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.889Please respect copyright.PENANAprFPaaW68a
889Please respect copyright.PENANA6EBx7Rwryx
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"889Please respect copyright.PENANAxfg0rqPDgE
889Please respect copyright.PENANAlWx50IP1Hh
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.889Please respect copyright.PENANAbyHjGJg997
889Please respect copyright.PENANA8tDlzrG5gI
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."889Please respect copyright.PENANA8kHxkq92Nn
889Please respect copyright.PENANALD0vEKuLqG
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."889Please respect copyright.PENANA6SInQrrcmX
889Please respect copyright.PENANAc992aO6Huk
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.889Please respect copyright.PENANAZPRrHIxoYe
889Please respect copyright.PENANAmVgQNVL4gV
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."889Please respect copyright.PENANAlsSmc8RB6P
889Please respect copyright.PENANA5KXauBK1nh
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.889Please respect copyright.PENANAzr1uZHtom9
889Please respect copyright.PENANA9HPRtwsk7Z
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.889Please respect copyright.PENANAMlHV5cphXg
889Please respect copyright.PENANATga5KrA2gj
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....889Please respect copyright.PENANAI4ihm9T2J1
889Please respect copyright.PENANArRTVHJT91v
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."889Please respect copyright.PENANATpguz9ku3V
889Please respect copyright.PENANAx3wmgykih5
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"889Please respect copyright.PENANA4IQg33OI11
889Please respect copyright.PENANAl6PJG9vsbx
"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."889Please respect copyright.PENANAwDSGpAxnL1
889Please respect copyright.PENANANzuA44IeqV
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."889Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ3Bk0Bmbf
889Please respect copyright.PENANAVG6ittDPh7
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.889Please respect copyright.PENANAzksgbNaMiu
889Please respect copyright.PENANAXSu24EqQmi
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.889Please respect copyright.PENANA44EH7wLudD
889Please respect copyright.PENANAAnVdQgSSlt
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."889Please respect copyright.PENANArAnR5ySQau
889Please respect copyright.PENANAqMxfuVd4Ah
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.889Please respect copyright.PENANAn6RfLxYUm8
889Please respect copyright.PENANAijkmF2LYRY
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANArIOSeCtoG1
889Please respect copyright.PENANA5cMutzSDeU
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"889Please respect copyright.PENANAzf0326aVtq
889Please respect copyright.PENANA7BWXXBn5F4
"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."889Please respect copyright.PENANA0vcK8wdAWP
889Please respect copyright.PENANAUFkDzvQ3Iw
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.889Please respect copyright.PENANAOtMwHL7JPJ
889Please respect copyright.PENANAehr1EC3Uln
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."889Please respect copyright.PENANAXdsKigFIa0
889Please respect copyright.PENANAZxma2bITVr
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.889Please respect copyright.PENANA7gu264lH0E
889Please respect copyright.PENANASCYdQWsomN
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.889Please respect copyright.PENANA6eTOpw1Fzv
889Please respect copyright.PENANA23oOLd6YoC
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.889Please respect copyright.PENANAfjwWOpPGiw
889Please respect copyright.PENANAehljNFG28T
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.889Please respect copyright.PENANAlwExYsvvtd
889Please respect copyright.PENANAM6NglFSvbo
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAIr2uV19VIw
889Please respect copyright.PENANAgpYDu0tjUZ
"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."889Please respect copyright.PENANACSKah65GOu
889Please respect copyright.PENANAcH9kYtf9Pt
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.889Please respect copyright.PENANAX1Zx8ZDlmw
889Please respect copyright.PENANAv5NbU80pA0
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."889Please respect copyright.PENANADOwMiJEKhA
889Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q4YnEFrVf
"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."889Please respect copyright.PENANA4AoxvnQtC3
889Please respect copyright.PENANAv1b6TfB5v8
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANA6sm2vyuZaH
889Please respect copyright.PENANA160hDIBGCn
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.889Please respect copyright.PENANA4MM1G7cgSK
889Please respect copyright.PENANAPRCcO3UCLF
"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."889Please respect copyright.PENANAw893pZNB4o
889Please respect copyright.PENANAGN23JvjCc3
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."889Please respect copyright.PENANAQIDhg3k1SA
889Please respect copyright.PENANA8GEkTe2Lry
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"889Please respect copyright.PENANAfgTAgmPtk3
889Please respect copyright.PENANApI9SbW8erI
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."889Please respect copyright.PENANAUp8YyFg7nr
889Please respect copyright.PENANAIdMIsiO4dU
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."889Please respect copyright.PENANAgE10CT3cC5
889Please respect copyright.PENANAxVvyp3aoB6
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..."889Please respect copyright.PENANAw7bEPxv5f4
889Please respect copyright.PENANACCk5WDoFeE
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"889Please respect copyright.PENANAOLkqN9AxDc
889Please respect copyright.PENANAAAME5Ob6zP
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.889Please respect copyright.PENANAQQS0o9eDfd
889Please respect copyright.PENANAyGccUs1Uhx
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.889Please respect copyright.PENANAxfqelIZ2CT
889Please respect copyright.PENANAUW9Gz5PcOh
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.889Please respect copyright.PENANAw8hQfxpybV
889Please respect copyright.PENANAlNLednXHPk
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.889Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZRssS0K8k
889Please respect copyright.PENANANmX1Iab8we
"I can't believe it" she said.889Please respect copyright.PENANAJXHKQVpUSf
889Please respect copyright.PENANAPlE0Zn9r2e
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.889Please respect copyright.PENANAd7YD54eDlG
889Please respect copyright.PENANAYWt7jxLTa0
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.889Please respect copyright.PENANArfQAwO1uss
889Please respect copyright.PENANAxJb9wd2Mia
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.889Please respect copyright.PENANAPwwpmLnc4N
889Please respect copyright.PENANAphZAqnsuxg
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.889Please respect copyright.PENANA6d0s1nV19f
889Please respect copyright.PENANAzoA3Se8pTa
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANASA7MogV7ds
889Please respect copyright.PENANAqeIj87iFqx
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAlvxAX9gWkL
889Please respect copyright.PENANAo6OVlHNcJY
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:889Please respect copyright.PENANAFSjkzwGzeL
889Please respect copyright.PENANADkEaig5wIP
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.889Please respect copyright.PENANAEeUam8dDJN
889Please respect copyright.PENANApLBojKvaOK
"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.889Please respect copyright.PENANA83RiwrfrL7
889Please respect copyright.PENANAzFzQG6fJqD
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAEADQpR0aDn
889Please respect copyright.PENANA8239Pk2PSz
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."889Please respect copyright.PENANAKqh6sWbC8C
889Please respect copyright.PENANA8ydX9TJTiq
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.889Please respect copyright.PENANAdKlr6vsGDN
889Please respect copyright.PENANAYHVSbxZ7cW
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.889Please respect copyright.PENANAbUqcXgB3vb
889Please respect copyright.PENANA8ESSGoWcjK
"He seems pretty cool."889Please respect copyright.PENANAvdW6HZJplE
889Please respect copyright.PENANALwg7Fx4uUL
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.889Please respect copyright.PENANAQSZq9pbPJI
889Please respect copyright.PENANAvh3O4nNv3u
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.889Please respect copyright.PENANAgrC8LRU1sr
889Please respect copyright.PENANAwRAQeE6PTN
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."889Please respect copyright.PENANAXx0lLYfAv1
889Please respect copyright.PENANASlpeZHHoXj
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.889Please respect copyright.PENANAdjV3fnQ6OY
889Please respect copyright.PENANAXrLvgxpaPv
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."889Please respect copyright.PENANAH5eVMiXT95
889Please respect copyright.PENANAzUB7pa5RHY
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.889Please respect copyright.PENANAA6t2LkVJVL
889Please respect copyright.PENANAr2ANZvcJ3m
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.889Please respect copyright.PENANAi0SYvda1eK
889Please respect copyright.PENANAx7OUmVFG5k
"This 'Johnny' thing?"889Please respect copyright.PENANAblchuGLXMv
889Please respect copyright.PENANAee9LiicVHg
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.889Please respect copyright.PENANAFy5MNeYrpV
889Please respect copyright.PENANAsCUyHi04lk
"Why would we?" I asked.889Please respect copyright.PENANARQTAlbpUpI
889Please respect copyright.PENANAYioj6dRKfj
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."889Please respect copyright.PENANAN00ykvebV4
889Please respect copyright.PENANARhDPFZM52t
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."889Please respect copyright.PENANAihiLFoRdH6
889Please respect copyright.PENANAwg2NBsVWqK
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."889Please respect copyright.PENANAcHa5vx2ZvY
889Please respect copyright.PENANACUCFEDobiy
"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?"889Please respect copyright.PENANAAyI4641vud
889Please respect copyright.PENANAh16BWgPKSe
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.889Please respect copyright.PENANAfm9u9GGvbD
889Please respect copyright.PENANAp7lFt8GWtP
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.889Please respect copyright.PENANAP6jQzMNgcT
889Please respect copyright.PENANAsUFpqxGA0w
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."889Please respect copyright.PENANAYqEdX3n2ZE
889Please respect copyright.PENANANM1yxY1pPK
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANATEbp6TzqYE
889Please respect copyright.PENANAKVaPHICGLG
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.889Please respect copyright.PENANAN314VgTL9y
889Please respect copyright.PENANAJPXMqUYmi5
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."889Please respect copyright.PENANArxFxJkLZOA
889Please respect copyright.PENANAz0IFpeybro
"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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAb7qQqRFHDx
889Please respect copyright.PENANA6BkKihWqk7
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.889Please respect copyright.PENANA3CU3tTL5Xo
889Please respect copyright.PENANAdhHhh3zepv
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.889Please respect copyright.PENANAyTX44pFOZo
889Please respect copyright.PENANAbRBvmaNoX5
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.889Please respect copyright.PENANAJdnLPLUTED
889Please respect copyright.PENANADFvrJaFMth
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.889Please respect copyright.PENANAjlmBYwDhda
889Please respect copyright.PENANAHMghDK1mJy
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."889Please respect copyright.PENANAP5nb7HFrdq
889Please respect copyright.PENANAAazlMauDbh
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.889Please respect copyright.PENANALIvuY6kEwp
889Please respect copyright.PENANAvErdI43jYa
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.889Please respect copyright.PENANAeuzmcxYfou
889Please respect copyright.PENANAIAL7oMVvy3
"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."889Please respect copyright.PENANAJVRhNjNScl
889Please respect copyright.PENANAWAoTsss6ci
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."889Please respect copyright.PENANAVt2K7n9soc
889Please respect copyright.PENANAqrWfE1qWDm
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"889Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5L9vlKSPj
889Please respect copyright.PENANAIy74Y22TTH
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."889Please respect copyright.PENANAwRh1HwZy3P
889Please respect copyright.PENANA4hyTCi74LN
"Really?"889Please respect copyright.PENANAdULSewDJm9
889Please respect copyright.PENANAfACthFQcwY
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"889Please respect copyright.PENANAMFVHDUiBjO
889Please respect copyright.PENANAiJrYT5odSu
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."889Please respect copyright.PENANAZWzVzIwRlU
889Please respect copyright.PENANAhgyxNGpPGj
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."889Please respect copyright.PENANA0mGZpYsk7W
889Please respect copyright.PENANA2GvpYzodKp
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.889Please respect copyright.PENANAhizSOP9TmI
889Please respect copyright.PENANAJvSM5XyMIx
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."889Please respect copyright.PENANADQgOXxi5oE
889Please respect copyright.PENANAZy4mEaBIXZ
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.889Please respect copyright.PENANAjOsnQo6JVE
889Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ai5xnJHmY
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.889Please respect copyright.PENANA9betj744dG
889Please respect copyright.PENANAGWRGN24dAb
"Ya, you too," I answered as I smiled back.889Please respect copyright.PENANAo6wfPW0zGo
889Please respect copyright.PENANApImT3WVoYN
He turned and walked to the elevator. I stood there and watched him leave.889Please respect copyright.PENANAgo09JbuocQ
889Please respect copyright.PENANAJDGOdd8lfb
"Sam, get in here quick!" Zoey called out to me. "You have to see this!"889Please respect copyright.PENANAlmR6xmEEI1
889Please respect copyright.PENANAPWE8pZ40MN
I quickly went back into the lounge and took my seat next to Lee.889Please respect copyright.PENANAbWt6hXqX0T
889Please respect copyright.PENANAAAFzk84B4Z
"This better be worth the call," I said as I looked at Lee's tablet.889Please respect copyright.PENANAPyF85rbYpD
889Please respect copyright.PENANAzW4nsbWcCY
"There was a dance video of Lisa and some girl," said Lee as she played the video for me.889Please respect copyright.PENANAkVQsfViSHr
889Please respect copyright.PENANAYkeoeVcVy9
I watched Lisa and the young lady danced to a popular K-Pop song. There were people around that watched and cheered.889Please respect copyright.PENANA5DPOO293oZ
889Please respect copyright.PENANApuMEF58mGq
"Well, that's cool," I said after the clip ended.889Please respect copyright.PENANAyUlGUAAQUo
889Please respect copyright.PENANAs39w5wMJRh
"These guys had a really good time," said Mike.889Please respect copyright.PENANAhL697aV68s
889Please respect copyright.PENANAPnlYzwCjB6
"Ya, but with someone you consider your enemy," said Lee.889Please respect copyright.PENANAJtI2OxZKXc
889Please respect copyright.PENANASn47RY3U2v
"Whatever," said Christine. "We're way past that. We just don't want any drama with him."889Please respect copyright.PENANAQFSQQ8AjhC
889Please respect copyright.PENANAHeQeLcmVN3
"That will be impossible since he got to hang out with G-Dragon, BlackPink and WINNER who happen to be your friends."889Please respect copyright.PENANARL0M8zlvvT
889Please respect copyright.PENANAtc6sWfuweU
"Ya, good point," said Daniel. "What do you think we should do?"889Please respect copyright.PENANA3VKgja6PAT
889Please respect copyright.PENANAfteZmg9h08
"Do we really have to do anything?" Christine asked.889Please respect copyright.PENANAA50VOUXWQv
889Please respect copyright.PENANAggptbYRorJ
"Don't tell me you want to think of something like a battle strategy?" Lee asked.889Please respect copyright.PENANAVD2Zq5alNb
889Please respect copyright.PENANABlaXA0F207
"Why should we?" I asked. "We have a song to work on, remember? Johnny should be the least of our problems."889Please respect copyright.PENANAg8BecLq49h
889Please respect copyright.PENANAF88IilqJL1
"Something tells me we are going to meet him sooner than we anticipated," said Zoey.889Please respect copyright.PENANAuXmiDKwoJp
889Please respect copyright.PENANAyahixocf7j
