I poured myself a cup of orange juice as I looked at Christine who sat across from me at the table, having a bite of her toast. I looked at her and realised that she seemed more vibrant today. Was it because of the extra sleep we had yesterday?890Please respect copyright.PENANAsiJXColeZE
890Please respect copyright.PENANAWvLuBAwm8m
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.890Please respect copyright.PENANAs2n7bpeEEM
890Please respect copyright.PENANAaPUVCUvqae
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.890Please respect copyright.PENANAzO5jzr7M1I
890Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7BziLTGaN
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.890Please respect copyright.PENANANEN9DFhmyz
890Please respect copyright.PENANAqYBKgLn9hk
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.890Please respect copyright.PENANAqVS8xIphjP
890Please respect copyright.PENANAm3ByITSBHI
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.890Please respect copyright.PENANAwAqM7pQzky
890Please respect copyright.PENANAGk2DCu1kvD
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.890Please respect copyright.PENANAokXAkASZTs
890Please respect copyright.PENANAM2xBYi4zv2
"Really?" Zoey asked as she looked at me and held her cheeks with her fingers as though she was massaging them. "Do I look like extra extra pretty?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAZLh8ovJguv
890Please respect copyright.PENANAxqRQ8eSpRW
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."890Please respect copyright.PENANAHU8tKv92cp
890Please respect copyright.PENANAV43GbQ9gLp
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.890Please respect copyright.PENANAwlEiZQCHLe
890Please respect copyright.PENANADJSE4ya0ov
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.890Please respect copyright.PENANA4RHUALTZYT
890Please respect copyright.PENANAHTtVkMFwA9
"What's with Zoey feeling like she's all pretty?" Mike asked as he took a seat right next to Christine and Daniel sat right next to Zoey.890Please respect copyright.PENANAnKis55OMrO
890Please respect copyright.PENANA3NCjmcXkmn
"Can't you see that I'm glowing?" Zoey asked as she beamed at Mike. "Sam says the extra sleep we had must have helped."890Please respect copyright.PENANAx2khD3XuTH
890Please respect copyright.PENANAMd8axmUZqV
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.890Please respect copyright.PENANA5wtLAM7D0A
890Please respect copyright.PENANARHg2L3OMrW
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.890Please respect copyright.PENANAjoEIuXclrd
890Please respect copyright.PENANASH6u07bA8q
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.890Please respect copyright.PENANADCgQ2xOuWu
890Please respect copyright.PENANAOhGJhEWVEo
"Mmm..., funny," said Zoey as she lifted her toast and looked at it like she was observing it. "I haven't been on my phone since last night."890Please respect copyright.PENANAFpMvUY4huw
890Please respect copyright.PENANAkiOi1EFZMY
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANADNDMvk6g5E
890Please respect copyright.PENANAptzPqkuNRJ
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."890Please respect copyright.PENANAvZddbfblu1
890Please respect copyright.PENANAdCbcH9xBHJ
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.890Please respect copyright.PENANAhYklYsnOrm
890Please respect copyright.PENANAqxZ54YBEoY
After we went to catch up on sleep yesterday afternoon, we woke up around 7PM and we all met in the lounge where we ended up playing board games with Lee. Before supper, Collins arrived and joined in on the fun and we told him about our progress on the new song. After supper, we all sat down to watch the Korean drama series, "Boys Over Flowers." We went to bed an hour early before our usual bedtime.890Please respect copyright.PENANAyb2eSVYs5a
890Please respect copyright.PENANAMWOvjCdqFI
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANA0GjAC3iofD
890Please respect copyright.PENANA8izBe0bH55
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."890Please respect copyright.PENANAGqR9UD8kCk
890Please respect copyright.PENANApQwoYGhNCm
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.890Please respect copyright.PENANA6PoSmSYniI
890Please respect copyright.PENANAu0hNYKj9al
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.890Please respect copyright.PENANA3y2WB33Cqd
890Please respect copyright.PENANAY3HuWKMEwR
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.890Please respect copyright.PENANA8GReC1XkXj
890Please respect copyright.PENANAXwyV5VOYyO
As we continued to have our breakfast and talked about the snakes and ladders game we had yesterday, Lee and Collins came into the lounge. Lee was taking down something on her tablet while Collins talked to her, almost like he was giving her instructions. I couldn't hear what he was saying because he talked in a low tone and Zoey at the same time was the one talking at the table.890Please respect copyright.PENANAMS6j6icEie
890Please respect copyright.PENANATmExBZMwuM
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."890Please respect copyright.PENANAuCySoXI6IX
890Please respect copyright.PENANAZxTtFZkWiK
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.890Please respect copyright.PENANAdY5n7WBoSm
890Please respect copyright.PENANAIdldxILu67
"Sometimes I think you cheat."890Please respect copyright.PENANA5gOgfRqaPj
890Please respect copyright.PENANAYZychZaT3M
"Cheating in snakes and ladders is almost impossible," said Christine as I saw her shrug her shoulders. "That's if you have the super power to row the dice to the number that's most suitable."890Please respect copyright.PENANA4ieRbBzWVM
890Please respect copyright.PENANAfqNPaPtVxy
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."890Please respect copyright.PENANAhAYSIwzJq5
890Please respect copyright.PENANAXxyTfdIO0A
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.890Please respect copyright.PENANAdFpvXFo7Sa
890Please respect copyright.PENANAEk6LL6fHtx
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.890Please respect copyright.PENANAusjkDEqxsG
890Please respect copyright.PENANAoioVnZVUN6
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.890Please respect copyright.PENANAJAdaTni9xr
890Please respect copyright.PENANAKlxZdTjCyw
"Well, I sure hope so. I told Yang Hyun-suk that you already started. He wants to hear it tomorrow, so I really hope you do make progress."890Please respect copyright.PENANAvARjH71xfj
890Please respect copyright.PENANAn9gKHlago0
"I better go give them a call, then."890Please respect copyright.PENANAtQO0l17PPG
890Please respect copyright.PENANAeIz3mCuZXK
I drew my chair back and left the table. I later found myself back in the room I shared with Zoey. I went straight for my phone that was beside the bed lamp. It felt like it had stayed there for a very long time because I barely touched it last night.890Please respect copyright.PENANAWMXpOz9c25
890Please respect copyright.PENANArSn6TJTQ0b
I checked my lock screen and found no messages whatsoever. Maybe its because I hadn't turned the wifi on on my phone. After I unlocked it and switched on the wifi, notifications came flooding in almost at the same time most of them from social networks like Instagram and Twitter. I ignored them all as I went on my WhatsApp to check if there were any messages on the BTW chat group. But nothing.890Please respect copyright.PENANAiPII3Vt3JD
890Please respect copyright.PENANARJ5PRxG0L8
"Strange," I muttered to myself as I sat on my bed. I decided to leave a message, but that wasn't going to be enough.890Please respect copyright.PENANA6dBD9u23hR
890Please respect copyright.PENANAS77Dc5XiHJ
I decided to make a call to one of the BlackPink members. Jennie was the first member on my contact list so I called her.890Please respect copyright.PENANAsGFaIpB8ce
890Please respect copyright.PENANABCi87ijz74
I put my phone to my ear. Her phone rang but she wasn't picking up. I waited until the voicemail came up and I cut the call right away. Maybe she was still asleep or she wasn't so close to the phone. I called again and still her phone went straight to voicemail.890Please respect copyright.PENANApAr5QsGLsm
890Please respect copyright.PENANAlbHeZe7lYu
I called Jisoo next, and just like Jennie's phone, it went straight to voicemail. Something didn't feel right. Why were they both not answering their phones?890Please respect copyright.PENANACFpey6sOIl
890Please respect copyright.PENANAyXAF5F9UXZ
I went on ahead to call Seunghoon and this time, I prayed that his phone wasn't going to act like the others. Upon the third ring, he answered.890Please respect copyright.PENANATDoycBCpHQ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAzBCZ0EQk4s
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.890Please respect copyright.PENANAxh0mEmhhdp
890Please respect copyright.PENANAhwIWn5zpPV
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAjjKBcESAU8
890Please respect copyright.PENANAuIC1MQ41Di
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."890Please respect copyright.PENANADzwG2zbZMk
890Please respect copyright.PENANALapqyEtaTd
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"890Please respect copyright.PENANA3Dx8PrwOyY
890Please respect copyright.PENANAvz50nUKtno
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"890Please respect copyright.PENANALETwnXWPxE
890Please respect copyright.PENANA50Te2yCy9H
"Umm...," I raised an eyebrow. Something was definitely not right at the moment. "Yes, I did. That's why I called to see if you guys are up it."890Please respect copyright.PENANAU6h8n4aXNK
890Please respect copyright.PENANANIAR15x0fI
"Oh, umm, let me ask if these guys are up for it." I heard movement, like someone was pushing away the sheets to try and get out of bed. "I'll call you right back."890Please respect copyright.PENANAzSsxTCaTup
890Please respect copyright.PENANADkaPKVXarC
"Ya, sure."890Please respect copyright.PENANATAurDCobcE
890Please respect copyright.PENANAvlC3Gndj38
Seunghoon cut the call and I couldn't help but wonder. Maybe the others weren't up for meeting today. It was for the best to have it cancelled.890Please respect copyright.PENANARQEToont50
890Please respect copyright.PENANAUMaZkpZfzI
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.890Please respect copyright.PENANAWd1wjHMnPf
890Please respect copyright.PENANAtUZLugOUeP
"Anything?" Zoey asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANA06uHEPUJTW
890Please respect copyright.PENANAqrWM0MyKZS
"Couldn't reach Jennie or Jisoo," I answered. "But I did reach Seunghoon and he will get back to me as soon as he talks to the others."890Please respect copyright.PENANA0QroVMp7bK
890Please respect copyright.PENANACIisUvYUaf
"Okay, well, we can wait."890Please respect copyright.PENANAGLPltm8vT4
890Please respect copyright.PENANA9YjZDI259S
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."890Please respect copyright.PENANAKVqJ9K0Sif
890Please respect copyright.PENANAOCnMjNmgOJ
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."890Please respect copyright.PENANAclZSHdyE6J
890Please respect copyright.PENANAOtUrAnZnoU
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."890Please respect copyright.PENANAidMKbfsn8d
890Please respect copyright.PENANAuJffsGsJ4w
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."890Please respect copyright.PENANAMNDt2Rc4GJ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAo3eo6cUbOX
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."890Please respect copyright.PENANA17PEqd85Sk
890Please respect copyright.PENANAwBassPAply
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.890Please respect copyright.PENANA8POiVpZXvc
890Please respect copyright.PENANAITaVqkaSNq
"We can't work on the song without them."890Please respect copyright.PENANAgtXVvsxc55
890Please respect copyright.PENANArDdJDCmIuV
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."890Please respect copyright.PENANA6NfN5oV6S3
890Please respect copyright.PENANAhdTlcB7hlw
"I hope we won't have to write the songs of the entire album ourselves. We will need to bring out some songwriters. We don't really have much time."890Please respect copyright.PENANAOc0n3x5ZT4
890Please respect copyright.PENANAm24gieGklC
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."890Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZV1zO1Gxf
890Please respect copyright.PENANABgZ0xwXUBf
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.890Please respect copyright.PENANAWkA2vja7lo
890Please respect copyright.PENANAcNzzLYz1iX
"Then get your guitar and notebook."890Please respect copyright.PENANAY7wgIrF18R
890Please respect copyright.PENANAbQTJXGOFhN
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."890Please respect copyright.PENANAg9arJsNv5k
890Please respect copyright.PENANAb3l9U5SXrB
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAGxeFvgfF1S
890Please respect copyright.PENANAzgtKLC4G98
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."890Please respect copyright.PENANAKIU7QoI4rL
890Please respect copyright.PENANAGOhozfYRPt
"Whatever," Zoey rolled her eyes at me as she went to the closet to get it. I stretched out over my bed to get my notebook in one of the drawers on the other side of the bed.890Please respect copyright.PENANAaG8gHctAnB
890Please respect copyright.PENANAlyNNFoHmcv
Zoey and I soon left the room, Zoey with my guitar and me, with my phone and notebook. I expected Seunghoon to have called back by now but he hadn't. Strange.890Please respect copyright.PENANA4L5uxwUyPt
890Please respect copyright.PENANAEzQGu29evC
"Aah, it's good to see that you are much more serious than I thought about the song," said Collins as we entered the lounge.890Please respect copyright.PENANA1wLZeQFkzE
890Please respect copyright.PENANANEQSluanUS
"Of course we are," said Zoey as she smiled at Collins seated in the lounge. My brothers and Christine weren't by the dining table.890Please respect copyright.PENANArPb8OkIAGq
890Please respect copyright.PENANAUweYakFWEq
"And what about the others?" Lee asked. She was standing right in front of us with the tablet still in her hands. "Are they going to make it?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAR3rSrYeMCr
890Please respect copyright.PENANAv09bgu5Pco
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.890Please respect copyright.PENANA2qQTa7Txvm
890Please respect copyright.PENANAvSpveHDF4L
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."890Please respect copyright.PENANA0xjgA5tT6Y
890Please respect copyright.PENANA74GqSQaoux
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.890Please respect copyright.PENANANSj5w3rE9B
890Please respect copyright.PENANA9g7rtTxfMo
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.890Please respect copyright.PENANAFWV59vAs4s
890Please respect copyright.PENANAQxETzTSlK5
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.890Please respect copyright.PENANAk7QgB1Zo6y
890Please respect copyright.PENANAq2ssclnYY4
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.890Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ee7HZc0ZS
890Please respect copyright.PENANADbSGAuGGQP
"Yes, really," I answered.890Please respect copyright.PENANApkntKwZLi6
890Please respect copyright.PENANAN930b8dyIK
"Whatever reason you have, fine. But you will have to finish the song because tomorrow we will meet other songwriters and composers for the album. But we will still need that song from you."890Please respect copyright.PENANAKN8tjGn3DQ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAFPZavmXhgj
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."890Please respect copyright.PENANA0zRf25Znj1
890Please respect copyright.PENANAwkz3C1w9Ac
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.890Please respect copyright.PENANAitkdDUJEQz
890Please respect copyright.PENANAA36Z4YKs5w
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.890Please respect copyright.PENANAkTy4C6Mwzf
890Please respect copyright.PENANAvHraZ3vHdv
"What went well?" Lee asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANABqidxW3xvR
890Please respect copyright.PENANAyqx74okPEg
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.890Please respect copyright.PENANAJjq1Zaiu4m
890Please respect copyright.PENANAoZvwe5HX4L
I knew Lee was going to stare at me to get an answer, so, I avoided her gaze by looking at my phone. Still nothing from Seunghoon. I debated on whether to give him another call.890Please respect copyright.PENANASHUofjA5mm
890Please respect copyright.PENANAaeO8dZvll7
I heard one of the doors open and shut in the hall followed by Christine's voice singing to a song by Maroon 5: "She will be loved" until she entered the lounge.890Please respect copyright.PENANAeN9H1DlBcO
890Please respect copyright.PENANAAxUBuzmi6X
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.890Please respect copyright.PENANAWoiX4SC2du
890Please respect copyright.PENANAyyXadChgGh
I shook my head. "I can't reach BlackPink and Seunghoon said he would inform me soon if he and the rest are going to make it."890Please respect copyright.PENANA8KvpCBrXO1
890Please respect copyright.PENANAYUHG6tFtfi
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.890Please respect copyright.PENANAFcaagmYEUy
890Please respect copyright.PENANAvcUlwh5KgW
"Now I see why you don't want the managers hearing the song tomorrow," said Lee. "You're not sure if these guys are going to show."890Please respect copyright.PENANAhfi2BNQguY
890Please respect copyright.PENANAYoCQu59isd
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.890Please respect copyright.PENANATgPnHaK5Ut
890Please respect copyright.PENANAU90GH1IaU7
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.890Please respect copyright.PENANA5xjHWrUqgs
890Please respect copyright.PENANAMnZ1j06tEN
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.890Please respect copyright.PENANAoW4CCx8EBG
890Please respect copyright.PENANAanE8nT1ISC
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.890Please respect copyright.PENANAdvowN818mP
890Please respect copyright.PENANAmEMcPtwGun
She was right. I looked at my phone and I felt like I should have just left it behind in my room. Seunghoon might call to tell me that they weren't going to make it. Jisoo or Jennie would find my missed calls and call me back to say the same thing.890Please respect copyright.PENANAb2V3bw1EnU
890Please respect copyright.PENANAcVsDIxQgHL
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.890Please respect copyright.PENANADHhjO58N2L
890Please respect copyright.PENANAzvijqbSIj9
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAy0Dw0xdUqm
890Please respect copyright.PENANAbCkWmtpLQc
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.890Please respect copyright.PENANAyvDZseSYzV
890Please respect copyright.PENANAGfgLOpDUPu
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."890Please respect copyright.PENANAeM5cP9iaTf
890Please respect copyright.PENANAUYUpLg1emu
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"890Please respect copyright.PENANAKhpjjtoRCv
890Please respect copyright.PENANA1uKzH1x8rg
The phone beeps in my hand. I looked at it and I found a message from Seunghoon. I read the message saying that they won't be able to make it. I texted back and told him we would meet tomorrow.890Please respect copyright.PENANAe7WoTHt1PF
890Please respect copyright.PENANAzpfzAAEeBa
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"890Please respect copyright.PENANA1BTesYEyym
890Please respect copyright.PENANAN57QRv2J3w
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."890Please respect copyright.PENANAmLXRk2ot8g
890Please respect copyright.PENANAXblu6CHVf2
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.890Please respect copyright.PENANATD3bz1mtCN
890Please respect copyright.PENANAmcyaGxzHGj
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."890Please respect copyright.PENANAahSxaxo4m0
890Please respect copyright.PENANAa7cLPk7ftO
"We better start working on the song," I said as I went over to the couch where my guitar lay and lifted it to create space to sit. "Where are Mike and Daniel?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAWF9M42qAcJ
890Please respect copyright.PENANA9aoeJAcWyz
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.890Please respect copyright.PENANAdxFgOVvDoT
890Please respect copyright.PENANAQwR9nwMcpH
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.890Please respect copyright.PENANAcQtFZ7JtCr
890Please respect copyright.PENANA9s60f803By
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAbbGFWmPnUE
890Please respect copyright.PENANAXFxhKugnx1
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.890Please respect copyright.PENANAgGRnqh2cRn
890Please respect copyright.PENANArLkmRHA9rv
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.890Please respect copyright.PENANAhFohKuTfmA
890Please respect copyright.PENANABCEB5jlMgm
"They wouldn't say, just that they can't make it, at least that's what Seunghoon told me on behalf of WINNER," I said. "I'm yet to hear from BlackPink."890Please respect copyright.PENANABApgI7ImN1
890Please respect copyright.PENANAWWKlYStYwi
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.890Please respect copyright.PENANA1O84KzOiMi
890Please respect copyright.PENANAXGrN0fGtYR
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAoxf6XYgpXl
890Please respect copyright.PENANA533ySeDWpF
Mike sat opposite Daniel and I. We first did a recap of the song and continued working on the first verse since that was where we left off. Without the others it was kind of difficult since Mino and Seungyoon came up with great lyrics for the first verse. We had to go with the flow though and it didn't seem so bad.890Please respect copyright.PENANA8LkalCPA3j
890Please respect copyright.PENANAgoQ146qW8t
We were still on the first verse, checking out sentences and debating whether one word sounded better than the other when my phone rang. It laid on the armrest of the couch. I checked who was calling and rolled my eyes.890Please respect copyright.PENANAX0YpxfV346
890Please respect copyright.PENANAw8ZtTGYyBD
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAt8F9ZmGDAf
890Please respect copyright.PENANAls359RtGXw
"I'll tell you," said Zoey, "it's G-Dragon. If it's not, then it's probably someone who's just as annoying as he is."890Please respect copyright.PENANAUC7D6OumLq
890Please respect copyright.PENANAyBAsEk8iTB
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."890Please respect copyright.PENANAuVVKubzopZ
890Please respect copyright.PENANANO32ne0QbP
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."890Please respect copyright.PENANAZTPjR18aWM
890Please respect copyright.PENANAzEv9OohzaF
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.890Please respect copyright.PENANAcIrIzwkxmi
890Please respect copyright.PENANAVGLfLgnYDX
"What is it?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAbti4IkoQhK
890Please respect copyright.PENANAGGn3eNPm7Q
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.890Please respect copyright.PENANAknyROJfSvC
890Please respect copyright.PENANAlqVu2zztjJ
"He's here," I said.890Please respect copyright.PENANAIw61Uatq1R
890Please respect copyright.PENANAP35jbHxkIq
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAXgakZcCfxQ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAP2a7Av0yGl
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.890Please respect copyright.PENANAMSPuD3KeMg
890Please respect copyright.PENANA2KTBSdieX9
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.890Please respect copyright.PENANAF9QRqYhJux
890Please respect copyright.PENANAcp9lASk4HK
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.890Please respect copyright.PENANA6hWQXZZvIt
890Please respect copyright.PENANALGHcYW5nKl
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAQUORALzahB
890Please respect copyright.PENANABELKmtxHKE
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.890Please respect copyright.PENANAUhUEHu5cSI
890Please respect copyright.PENANAkexrqq93HM
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."890Please respect copyright.PENANAMUPHaKkIac
890Please respect copyright.PENANAqmQBJoCNLl
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAykJlINZK38
890Please respect copyright.PENANAHdNaTkkkKB
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.890Please respect copyright.PENANAP0uWfGZv5D
890Please respect copyright.PENANAkrxSRP6bFr
"Zoey has a point, though," said Mike. "For someone who had a great time at the party, you seem pretty sober and...," he snapped his fingers as he tried to think of a word.890Please respect copyright.PENANAc5hojOhZPj
890Please respect copyright.PENANAB13aVdSBAX
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.890Please respect copyright.PENANAiah6pSNsrt
890Please respect copyright.PENANAx7JgCU44sz
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.890Please respect copyright.PENANAaRii1vI2Xu
890Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ9CAW4W5q
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."890Please respect copyright.PENANAI8UR1BbEiV
890Please respect copyright.PENANADTpJa6tbvv
I looked over at Mike and he had a small smirk on his face that was almost unnoticeable to everyone else. I found Daniel also staring at his brother and then he looked at me. The two of us knew he meant what Daniel said.890Please respect copyright.PENANA7W5bJJC79N
890Please respect copyright.PENANA3tiOqN0Qrq
"We had a blast yesterday," said G-Dragon as he went over to join Mike on the couch. "I thought you checked the photos on Instagram."890Please respect copyright.PENANAKNwjxJS25C
890Please respect copyright.PENANANnpuK1xVyS
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.890Please respect copyright.PENANAq6iPxO4Xr9
890Please respect copyright.PENANArRCIgVIL6r
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.890Please respect copyright.PENANABxFaSBOC1h
890Please respect copyright.PENANAPiVudjuoX4
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"890Please respect copyright.PENANA6vZl2wtEKw
890Please respect copyright.PENANAye9DrMk6f9
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.890Please respect copyright.PENANAILryIoPi3i
890Please respect copyright.PENANAtyfVBdoKJZ
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."890Please respect copyright.PENANA0g7oEW0GX3
890Please respect copyright.PENANAS0fnZcqIV9
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."890Please respect copyright.PENANAjeVlxacPRm
890Please respect copyright.PENANARcivIu3LMV
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAJXC9yh7loC
890Please respect copyright.PENANAWDM3UgrfTY
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."890Please respect copyright.PENANASXEGgfnCSZ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAPcyGlzuJ1S
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.890Please respect copyright.PENANASrBOUHZC4j
890Please respect copyright.PENANAUqQfv8cwVf
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.890Please respect copyright.PENANAMw2aOnejUo
890Please respect copyright.PENANAoyOfqtiJIX
I couldn't help but feel something strange with what G-Dragon said a few sentences ago. Maybe I was just imagining things. Any who....890Please respect copyright.PENANAWq3GzyEZpt
890Please respect copyright.PENANAuOoRV1nxsp
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."890Please respect copyright.PENANA4hsyaagMwR
890Please respect copyright.PENANADHyfG59hVl
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAHVMmnmqVdQ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAtTpYlUl2mY
"Seunghoon called to tell me they weren't going to make it. I haven't heard anything from BlackPink but I doubt they will come, so I called off the meeting and we are working on it instead."890Please respect copyright.PENANApZ8fDpJjkw
890Please respect copyright.PENANAaXp9fBRn25
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."890Please respect copyright.PENANAdtAuvmnTKb
890Please respect copyright.PENANAvT2keKDpXS
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.890Please respect copyright.PENANAPsoxarDCg4
890Please respect copyright.PENANA2PWZwPsTHJ
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAyav4d5zGQK
890Please respect copyright.PENANA3TCbd9VL5r
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."890Please respect copyright.PENANALHmICSMWSy
890Please respect copyright.PENANANGBmsqwCqo
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAimlWu2nuXs
890Please respect copyright.PENANAcoU6Lv665d
G-Dragon shrugged his shoulders. He left our floor early yesterday, so he had no idea that we all agreed to rest and continue working on the song later. Can't blame him for that.890Please respect copyright.PENANAkOvd1RPHVm
890Please respect copyright.PENANACWjjvBMZsS
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"890Please respect copyright.PENANAIeyJJ3V39Z
890Please respect copyright.PENANA3DxCdTI1Rt
"I didn't convince them, I swear," he said as he raised his hands in surrender. But then he looked at me and lowered them. "Okay..., maybe a little."890Please respect copyright.PENANA5R4Q38usO7
890Please respect copyright.PENANAm29ECdONw7
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.890Please respect copyright.PENANApN8ZB2nOXQ
890Please respect copyright.PENANA2OShkancc2
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."890Please respect copyright.PENANAbu5iKD3GBr
890Please respect copyright.PENANAJs2HFCxLHi
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.890Please respect copyright.PENANAymyV0UBzTi
890Please respect copyright.PENANAc5mv2U3YNl
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAbs1V2ExFOd
890Please respect copyright.PENANARWHfWwsZXs
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.890Please respect copyright.PENANA7GDk44hYq4
890Please respect copyright.PENANATAhaatcuhU
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.890Please respect copyright.PENANAWs1NMrsLM8
890Please respect copyright.PENANA40rq6lWzRD
We looked at him as he also stared back at each one of us. The look in his eyes made me realise that he didn't want to talk for fear of what might happen next.890Please respect copyright.PENANATIeOvZZnPx
890Please respect copyright.PENANA0yFINHo1Rf
"Looks like you lost your tongue, GD," said Daniel. "Please tell us who you were with. I don't think it's that much of a big deal."890Please respect copyright.PENANA9ipS1Cfaa6
890Please respect copyright.PENANA2lG2m6vIxS
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.890Please respect copyright.PENANAMHvx31dLMp
890Please respect copyright.PENANACjD9iNAdCX
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."890Please respect copyright.PENANA4s7iEIe2gY
890Please respect copyright.PENANARWTBRBjMcb
"It was a mistake coming here," said G-Dragon as he nervously stood up from the couch. "I better get going. Sorry for disturbing you."890Please respect copyright.PENANAyXJG3tqGSH
890Please respect copyright.PENANANII0BxwwQ2
All five of us stood up and surrounded him. It was five against one and he knew he couldn't stand a chance. We came closer, making it tight for him to leave.890Please respect copyright.PENANA9xnX3Rmd32
890Please respect copyright.PENANAnxPM5ov5CJ
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.890Please respect copyright.PENANApxkVH2QyPX
890Please respect copyright.PENANAIzKQhvt381
"Now," said Zoey as she cracked her knuckles. "You're going to answer our questions. You don't want to receive these babies," she gestured to her fists, "on your face."890Please respect copyright.PENANAxTEcInhHE2
890Please respect copyright.PENANA4JBwIPPCk2
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."890Please respect copyright.PENANA8v8vVfyBWH
890Please respect copyright.PENANATB7ygpMGci
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAMnOVu3OzyQ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAsLscYEHrjz
G-Dragon gulped as he looked at us. "You won't like the answer I am about to give you. You will kill me before I even leave this place."890Please respect copyright.PENANAnjCaAx5FVN
890Please respect copyright.PENANAnfnomWQnLk
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."890Please respect copyright.PENANALrI7F55oiQ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAhdL6y0tGUZ
G-Dragon sat upright and cleared his throat. "When I came out of the elevator, I saw..., I saw this guy. He recognised me immediately and said he was a big fan..., and so....., we talked for a while. We got along well...., and then that's when the others came..."890Please respect copyright.PENANALDLeufym5s
890Please respect copyright.PENANAJHO5ucXAZZ
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"890Please respect copyright.PENANArPQ0H7uXRa
890Please respect copyright.PENANA6jFNY6ZkBb
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.890Please respect copyright.PENANAqdkyfK5DrL
890Please respect copyright.PENANAq1gm39Xh0Z
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.890Please respect copyright.PENANAfMh3Pg3JvI
890Please respect copyright.PENANAxpw1aJFb4g
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.890Please respect copyright.PENANAPxXazicK6V
890Please respect copyright.PENANAvci1PHRw6q
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.890Please respect copyright.PENANAgoeGJRqekh
890Please respect copyright.PENANANKUOKEm36P
"I can't believe it" she said.890Please respect copyright.PENANAkbugrpIVGQ
890Please respect copyright.PENANAgT0IFkAqdC
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.890Please respect copyright.PENANAKq3amlsckD
890Please respect copyright.PENANAQxSv1QXQNL
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.890Please respect copyright.PENANAYJYOL5zDqq
890Please respect copyright.PENANA8Qupnd4pE4
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.890Please respect copyright.PENANAEQh0NMYhBI
890Please respect copyright.PENANAbon7vSXsQw
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.890Please respect copyright.PENANAOEP8gph6KQ
890Please respect copyright.PENANA9XqKgAix7n
We all turned to look at Lee as she approached with a tablet in her hands. She went to sit on the couch I had been sitting on with Daniel. I went to sit next to her, Christine on her other side. Mike and Daniel went over to stand at the back of the couch so as to see more clearly on the tablet.890Please respect copyright.PENANAqWHWFrCieR
890Please respect copyright.PENANAGysqLiJgEi
She was on Instagram and she had gone on one of G-Dragon's fan pages. One of the first photos we saw of last night was a picture of him and Johnny staring at the camera and smiling. They had hands over each other's shoulders like they were best buddies.890Please respect copyright.PENANAWk75hKfpmb
890Please respect copyright.PENANA5TrQBkJdcc
It was definitely Johnny Jerkins alright. His white blonde hair cropped to the sides and a strand of it falling above his right blue eye. He was almost G-Dragon's height and he had on a white shirt and brown khaki shorts. I noticed their surrounding and I couldn't help but ask:890Please respect copyright.PENANAOiiorAVPz5
890Please respect copyright.PENANAJAl5MviPWS
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.890Please respect copyright.PENANAbYbytiPCua
890Please respect copyright.PENANAuW0rWJ7qxc
"What! A cruise party!" Zoey yelled as she sat up quickly. She looked like she had woken from her slumber as she went to stand alongside my two brothers.890Please respect copyright.PENANACe4XZNqMu8
890Please respect copyright.PENANAcTDPgNvsKU
Lee continued to scroll down the page and more pictures came up. This time, there were some of BlackPink and WINNER having a good time with Johnny and G-Dragon. There were other pictures with fans who wanted to take pics with the K-Pop superstars.890Please respect copyright.PENANAvR9u59tsNy
890Please respect copyright.PENANAVDaRkN5JYw
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."890Please respect copyright.PENANAoBFOfv5c5A
890Please respect copyright.PENANAoxW2K5FdWs
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.890Please respect copyright.PENANAl9AzwgnFtp
890Please respect copyright.PENANA3f2zKH1UAt
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.890Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3sFA2yJpg
890Please respect copyright.PENANAVC5vrL9sa7
"He seems pretty cool."890Please respect copyright.PENANAr7Tgcc2p2p
890Please respect copyright.PENANAMIHSSjf5aW
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.890Please respect copyright.PENANAn6YovpXHE3
890Please respect copyright.PENANALw1bWowFZ0
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAUFe9PtjHwq
890Please respect copyright.PENANAfS8XM4Qmju
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."890Please respect copyright.PENANAvvDG6nDzw8
890Please respect copyright.PENANAvN3HWe5Fvn
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.890Please respect copyright.PENANAfjqxCERGlq
890Please respect copyright.PENANA8awgdRC466
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."890Please respect copyright.PENANAyWCrcMFHwM
890Please respect copyright.PENANAuWLllhjBNK
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAcr0H9YY3u2
890Please respect copyright.PENANAk9S4PcWmUZ
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.890Please respect copyright.PENANAjlOtIK0flq
890Please respect copyright.PENANAvA6tbeJWvc
"This 'Johnny' thing?"890Please respect copyright.PENANA0Zw32y6m03
890Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7A0sjeQr7
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.890Please respect copyright.PENANAsPabqUR4cL
890Please respect copyright.PENANAV694LbuS0e
"Why would we?" I asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANATEFHXqrikh
890Please respect copyright.PENANAiV2OdGj28p
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."890Please respect copyright.PENANArn1fa5iM6E
890Please respect copyright.PENANA3i7vBynZ8e
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."890Please respect copyright.PENANAkOacseUYtH
890Please respect copyright.PENANAZRISUSU7MS
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."890Please respect copyright.PENANAxl1v5IOVWX
890Please respect copyright.PENANAZrPWb7iffZ
"You're right," said Zoey. "It was a long time ago, but we would rather keep our distance. Some people are just toxic, you know?"890Please respect copyright.PENANASaCu23zsec
890Please respect copyright.PENANAjcbMZmWgF0
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.890Please respect copyright.PENANAY0IzhjRlev
890Please respect copyright.PENANAQfApAYx2L7
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANA8soq2TwVlR
890Please respect copyright.PENANAv240VH8W5R
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."890Please respect copyright.PENANA2elgnMPkBu
890Please respect copyright.PENANAoQYBhHCdyN
G-Dragon didn't seem like himself. I looked at him and this time I didn't give him a criticising look like I always do. I could tell he was upset if not sad.890Please respect copyright.PENANA5jVy9UGAGc
890Please respect copyright.PENANAfOneP7jmHs
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.890Please respect copyright.PENANAaakWvZ2j54
890Please respect copyright.PENANAFpvfyoD0f6
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."890Please respect copyright.PENANAvZo8aZtGMq
890Please respect copyright.PENANASPMwHmhUXn
"Bye, GD," the rest replied at the same time. Their tone sounded low almost as if they didn't want to upset him any further.890Please respect copyright.PENANABVUVOMjnZ5
890Please respect copyright.PENANANhU4OhYBco
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.890Please respect copyright.PENANAfuW22ADXVs
890Please respect copyright.PENANAqIJutQdbsb
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.890Please respect copyright.PENANAsKEBpn6IrF
890Please respect copyright.PENANA8Oz3HK4XJK
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.890Please respect copyright.PENANAbZLeEZ31Aq
890Please respect copyright.PENANAciK3UbHUkm
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.890Please respect copyright.PENANAn3LlWCA09T
890Please respect copyright.PENANAXXyY8R5Qqt
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."890Please respect copyright.PENANAx7etFyDqxH
890Please respect copyright.PENANAscMpRpvoUC
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.890Please respect copyright.PENANAkmRRKUOxai
890Please respect copyright.PENANAk4B2hjGILY
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.890Please respect copyright.PENANAmZcx6wAIWB
890Please respect copyright.PENANAuaiTAJvnBM
"I mean, you guys are the nicest and coolest people I have ever met and I never thought you would be so spiteful about someone. You weren't all like this when you were dealing with Jehan...., well, maybe Zoey, but even she wasn't so extreme."890Please respect copyright.PENANABeYOo6AVdR
890Please respect copyright.PENANAxJ1VwIcBuk
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."890Please respect copyright.PENANAbFg62GAab2
890Please respect copyright.PENANA4KUMHFQCWZ
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAqsn5L2LWyj
890Please respect copyright.PENANAdOONDzx7py
I shook my head. "We don't hate him. We do hate what he did to us in the past, but we don't actually hate him."890Please respect copyright.PENANAzHC3VZSHWF
890Please respect copyright.PENANAkVcljKdmwQ
"Really?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAEAJlotqpBV
890Please respect copyright.PENANABGGkz2Olhp
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAFzukLrHVSA
890Please respect copyright.PENANAUp0g5WjR52
G-Dragon bit his lip and he didn't have to admit I was right. "Then why can't you come to peace with him?" he asked. "You don't even want to cross paths with him, like ever."890Please respect copyright.PENANAyJLyVbcQGz
890Please respect copyright.PENANAokdLs6eL34
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."890Please respect copyright.PENANAM2JxqZ76Lc
890Please respect copyright.PENANAT7urs2HuGq
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.890Please respect copyright.PENANADRL4iaD8SF
890Please respect copyright.PENANA4jkmEpjH8E
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."890Please respect copyright.PENANAsEoP7JYMz1
890Please respect copyright.PENANAlGB8a6pkdh
G-Dragon slowly nodded his head. I could tell that he understood and is willing to wait. But for how long is the million dollar question.890Please respect copyright.PENANA93G4LR2zMN
890Please respect copyright.PENANAnLUWlkKzZ3
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.890Please respect copyright.PENANAOXyh9Ts24w
890Please respect copyright.PENANAnAcGDN7jlr
"Ya, you too," I answered as I smiled back.890Please respect copyright.PENANAsa3DiNloam
890Please respect copyright.PENANAl5XLYQ8666
He turned and walked to the elevator. I stood there and watched him leave.890Please respect copyright.PENANAx4k8JBTEFM
890Please respect copyright.PENANAH2OYEfugnk
"Sam, get in here quick!" Zoey called out to me. "You have to see this!"890Please respect copyright.PENANA5617IX2k5Z
890Please respect copyright.PENANAk82RF5b9ls
I quickly went back into the lounge and took my seat next to Lee.890Please respect copyright.PENANAh8LroVP4s8
890Please respect copyright.PENANAzSF63tEHlP
"This better be worth the call," I said as I looked at Lee's tablet.890Please respect copyright.PENANA5GDzVMhsNj
890Please respect copyright.PENANAsnTICh4NXh
"There was a dance video of Lisa and some girl," said Lee as she played the video for me.890Please respect copyright.PENANAMJR9xgBU1A
890Please respect copyright.PENANAuwatymWhGQ
I watched Lisa and the young lady danced to a popular K-Pop song. There were people around that watched and cheered.890Please respect copyright.PENANAkMcvxP203e
890Please respect copyright.PENANALd0PhAIiGQ
"Well, that's cool," I said after the clip ended.890Please respect copyright.PENANA4CqQiBkifn
890Please respect copyright.PENANAVlP6STUxcZ
"These guys had a really good time," said Mike.890Please respect copyright.PENANArpy5TqGvNS
890Please respect copyright.PENANAejIaOKkXgX
"Ya, but with someone you consider your enemy," said Lee.890Please respect copyright.PENANAOzdDsEEPon
890Please respect copyright.PENANAULn7w96cKE
"Whatever," said Christine. "We're way past that. We just don't want any drama with him."890Please respect copyright.PENANAnACt7BR1s0
890Please respect copyright.PENANApPYmXLhFK8
"That will be impossible since he got to hang out with G-Dragon, BlackPink and WINNER who happen to be your friends."890Please respect copyright.PENANAWmbiY5p5O3
890Please respect copyright.PENANAGsVVe8H9Ze
"Ya, good point," said Daniel. "What do you think we should do?"890Please respect copyright.PENANAyxW4N3j4Yw
890Please respect copyright.PENANAxWOY1hj10U
"Do we really have to do anything?" Christine asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANADpXkmh1s4z
890Please respect copyright.PENANAZqtLTOs7ab
"Don't tell me you want to think of something like a battle strategy?" Lee asked.890Please respect copyright.PENANAvorXA6JHx0
890Please respect copyright.PENANAjbg14aFgwa
"Why should we?" I asked. "We have a song to work on, remember? Johnny should be the least of our problems."890Please respect copyright.PENANAHdCKROIjKD
890Please respect copyright.PENANAaQMk5nh4Pd
"Something tells me we are going to meet him sooner than we anticipated," said Zoey.890Please respect copyright.PENANAWY0Lnzn4nr
890Please respect copyright.PENANApmQ6ulIy7E
