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?882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW7Dyo75Ye
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVUMbL9jOS
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ7PAO055I
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97c4D2lXTk
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHpjppy6Zm
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEKl4tKuIg
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPgMARCxSY
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8WevSZUDf
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzJuvgDdpG
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrapCYIfRP
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwFcaUZeeZ
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfolVuzZP6
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHJT2NYpL0
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcWjK0KwIv
"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?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlroXbmvOn2
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyUEK2zTZT
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wknjSMUUm
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRWlAQtlT2
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WUsMaRSJw
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVS4RyYiJe
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhgCvfARqc
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRvIZKmMh1
"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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3TQCradfu
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaE4jImhJS
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKPYUR2Mvn
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlnx64UWuc
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iQX5bg735
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9swbmTQ85C
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsksgLL1Iy
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzLKLfPuTK
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoTPSBDtO0
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUshL1NXHxI
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5VGhO6xzw
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpYIHRgGx2
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDEeQl8ywY
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f5rPQzndo
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal2Bk5aYEz
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH71UVCq17b
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2fqIn2H4O
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDSMLeWdZD
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqIQqgHYsx
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5bAP9TjF6
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGkH5MQyhL
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwWrOJ0gN8
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjeY4Hay6A
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FBSZsSBVa
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARPjlXJhzm
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGADvU6f84
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V3bAhWywZ
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56iXCbNBx0
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxejlPSbYz
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oLieLmtfg
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwZYeuxyDb
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNYx0hyLxU
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoeeFqxkiR
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EvtcIyfxY
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJLineSuFw
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW8R1Dx91S
"Sometimes I think you cheat."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8LDNNQjGL
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloJNmR7ZV6
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfe7p3asPo
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYZEwajege
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0AunJVcDt
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvaUCgBQ7P
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcohkseVlG4
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQNf89CP0B
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvmYkKUFi0
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJZqwPBcXR
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS0bybWDvg
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8mcpEzmkS
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL5gevO62l
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJOmrkUJit
"I better go give them a call, then."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ISHXgEoAj
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71hpKoMmp6
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5A7YO0tiH
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9OKoJZy6a
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6wEKab5wK
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e54jFoEO7
"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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFcHSaXLmZ
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQj2k9ir7s
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5PITUYfOu
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT561wUyySc
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA4CpvOlsR
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7zevscMuG
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?882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk8zr0sXMa
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0izUxjrOJp
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hem9T2bU8
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxIFVPS6AB
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53xsi6XlMp
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG40h1iETb8
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyzkuMQiKj
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7XVXihPvm
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsYfsgMeJ9
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC1FAjNJL3
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81NCtOxWBT
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEgHdGg3Et
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBdsKOWYe1
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25ly79dAoY
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaNkWyrORT
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKFTyKOueE
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvHrahQbTm
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8GxZMgQta
"Ya, sure."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD0AD0GhcA
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BKWIZmDF8
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2edw74BEaq
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d7zZouRnE
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22xVE602bY
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBO5z5sux7
"Anything?" Zoey asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrSXuhDsT3
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOoieSjkKn
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE7TrpC3C1
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVqWZHVpVG
"Okay, well, we can wait."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnm9VWPaie
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIAqfeTjPq
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyYjJQC7ff
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKCTr1DNLi
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnizjlwPHLX
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f9YFHLXrm
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhC8Ek7Jrr
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb4ortEVpX
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLOvZ8mczs
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ0LQFgXon
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLA8hJOnNn
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR4ipaGTeU
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOYB6KyMmY
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I2n8lia2k
"We can't work on the song without them."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb7y1Riqhw
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pw6bgjoZ9
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2FpTBsYyX
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkVf5bmeEU
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABO4sGh22p
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfmHHuSM6V
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg9zGSAK1w
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzZTYKmiLK
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXilPRx1YL
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSFsjSjTyl
"Then get your guitar and notebook."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMEpUSwiGY
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv9S9bXZNl
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7xtkfrjaM
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9uQ2JWS5k
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bF3R1Oo2J
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuOnTJWjSL
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDdqfsk91B
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRwGQ1aBnw
"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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZyE7wwkna
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi04UVHevkz
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70cICV4zTD
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hTQ6LbPfC
"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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmGwavCbEy
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSrZwqmErC
"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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzGYTHsIWa
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppdLoaiIMh
"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?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8yaoVaGCs
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGGnUfPB72
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUajcqBq4pT
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3jVTzyPYt
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX221w4VLy
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z8sfZJpSz
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax0eaXQ9Hm
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kbXNfAscQ
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi100CCN3p
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeGI51yBmb
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruAzeOV5Pm
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdn3iXEzGM
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfdmqao7hC
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksnsUcQW7R
"Yes, really," I answered.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf79QQBfsa
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mgxVEHFt2
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFozmE3nM31
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypDhegkoIB
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwbs5GgAW0
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSM2m6qBbk
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lwpUxwfeA
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuufQkwEEYR
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPjKoenU2r
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAlLRF1f9R
"What went well?" Lee asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayZClV3EOQ
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGub5VJNk2Q
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FMjwGMdf9
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktF2ygrWde
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qR3J7NlpY
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny46EqNOXm
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa840M5ljBA
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDA8lL2IFe
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOsIyueCRn
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvXhmFBj1R
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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08nZ3w27DU
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0F2j2qyTG
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q9BWkAGXs
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw6KRjMk4F
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhErMtKp3yV
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJaEzQc3eT
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvh5JOzaEF
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8PqgUeqgl
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GzqU8CrDY
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCPpHS9SLj
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJPUUVs9fP
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWanrVgnJf
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYcz4R7tpq
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSUuXLFqIF
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCB3nvdf0D
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtpFZk090Z
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmbfxAfefm
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyjlbvWtqa
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UY11VyIcA
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjpI1irFjc
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoQk1OL5co
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnkIGa3Bgr
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlRQS61jyu
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5645rSiex
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6npkzczVg3
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy5gm5cqgc
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jzAk50Xs1
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBkhT0K4GC
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05jXsUXD3N
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTN9HWswYg
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1bjIEduhs
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq0wVO0a5z
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfTT58QA28
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL5u8oCqS0
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUa7NcX574
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ19p4nyXtg
"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?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLDfsP41bK
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn3SHj2zHV
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYcOLWuQAM
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd59vUEfwF
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbvaK8bYZb
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnHOHJHUiB
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD9qH93ZLc
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtUlRq31jF
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A7k7emZv7
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2uMnDTc6u
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnoHPbjWis
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCs587ilpE
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLY3UXykts
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34E2cDTTjo
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF4ZyW6D0T
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WHHmY8dnG
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxZgjpuG9O
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycbEcwOSbx
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3toHTj3j0

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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8ZMtRtKLs
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQLsorKBH1
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3msQYPlkE
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcOKuGy8vU
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaJJtutTJa
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw54f2icICo
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwbNpPirbr
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE1Q0RR2PR
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpEXK6Jd33
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZLclAuhZ9
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3sMaky1qi
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sfQRytEUJ
"What is it?" Christine asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rvCSYdxC7
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AoQONncyY
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdLDtRJqf9
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvabm98fRWt
"He's here," I said.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVtkaD7x5m
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX95h2WvFmn
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRHfCC4rMW
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfofqMysfjq
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LIlqN7UkE
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCQ7VpN774
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0IdWYvro8
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B7NPkkPEl
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu2M5PcFEo
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYdJPyXZ9Y
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRYFW0uEki
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfULOjFBGp
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFahxvVlwCP
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRqUlpK2eT
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vKftS27WW
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SDxCdJGwS
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObrwQylyqp
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG8jW8ZZMX
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqL45rrWNo
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSWxzc7m2k
"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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOoUPDJILW
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19D932laLS
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP53tI6RrZY
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAde8hkKed
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ3OXActGx
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLcw1tshPa
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaro6PLTpzQ
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq10a3ubEK
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPrhEFQ8hb
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgbLa0BNl3
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQDtsz06Hu
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStFlp85qAt
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLQu6WlJLX
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK8dFmrJiE
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiqDUJTRPj
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIiVP8mVFr
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0CDaXgxA3
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO834zzYN8K
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hu4vpBOGe
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOkINFSC6J
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHbokQCZjl
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ2pZin0e1
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU0IAkqHwj
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroDV3mWtQM
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunqwgUbXSG
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDf43QcV5H
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzwqaRGBNV
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurEwGvO83x
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsgmSirArl
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUd3LvB32z
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGFnJTUWsT
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfrqo6dUmP
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....882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpViq5QKr0
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmxe08YM1R
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomry3JSD3r
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sOYozjcrM
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ4YOo2KkC
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinmbxMzD7A
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpcFgBGErc
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vd01g4pOo
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBeuEmjYLm
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hgJS1P7Lv
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXKhRXs8pW
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G87K4JY1k
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER8FiNoN6Z
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCdbzURb4N
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu16qjHAgEB
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNtgGRhf7t
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyGPCsPPDv
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvidkmb4Osw
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EtVeZlZjp
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsHgJluJ83
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuZb9Ykr4O
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYo5ZITluu
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM8ddSfQgt
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUM9E6KvPn
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GnwgLZ0Uh
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NRIyezC5Z
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWIfvUEtdq
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmYywyURzJ
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU6QYs78mB
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLfXHJi8M9
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnRvzVKEyq
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRFZsfC7nV
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijkdBwPd3D
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJzqb5tV1Y
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqBT7kPsP4
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnPN3H8W2B
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQHiqnyVKz
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgoPxoa3Km
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdZLiq9hVY
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOxGCwLiCN
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0efBHZvg7
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc4bEDRIoA
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgzlVpLhvM
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xaCT4RX24
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6VVQyLmYc
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEJ1pkd6nu
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3JW6It6x4
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFl3LtLlLv
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCeccp7gIH
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQN5NMsDlD
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfQBGzNjn8
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3tcbF7a5i
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22kOF7TSGk
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNT7VXl39P
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3GOKfAgQh
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7znOZ2nSl
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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3GP0Ljz6F
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiJxtwB75h
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipvSfm6krO
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMPgx9sXXd
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..."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFAEPymUJx
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7nkEVqKwh
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y1iJBfZhX
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4x18baqnK
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25RmsBzAcn
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgznCNtCnh4
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQX7knSRsw
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxC9uk8LF9
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgxigELNSR
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFMxw4pgoK
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cy4SxIi5H
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmAOTkcg4K
"I can't believe it" she said.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfCMtA2cf7
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCpmZ85FHC
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iTrtz30HK
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlbaHyEc4f
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7fG4Oqfoa
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMM12VnR9F
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo8hqT9wWu
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0fLa1d9Ff
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0savWQqYs
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ete1BKtEy
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4MdGPqru0
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ePsGpBP1Q
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZkllA1INY
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVJAYoIqwa
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:882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0J6NmQCkw
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwseOdE8qfm
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN7LT8qKpX
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QUOfyvgTy
"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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFZM15KqRK
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J9yWZoaqR
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm53F0rVXpn
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx0W2nXD3d
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5X3pnvgM7
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnoZ9k6TQ4
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QuoDnqqW8
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiT0OV3dnF
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qqemOzi4i
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwD7Yg8Ld5
"He seems pretty cool."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8iMZxAJU0
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBV9tSx6g7
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMQf8FpkW5
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3Yu49PSHm
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hFtOOfRw3
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ndcF8QXoz
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpEip2xBVd
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcprmgn8dj
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPRVkLTAYr
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHKa6WCrOn
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKPIwJEPVq
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCRBGms6eT
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcmCx7irJF
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CnHJgtrTO
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOrlf1VxNv
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uzDitXbCe
"This 'Johnny' thing?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3xQ4YAe1J
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGnUrtpw6l
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEfruThg5j
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoFNKuNVLm
"Why would we?" I asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqh0AqaeRC
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo04QL8XLa
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLB9TkukMz
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuEZkaVTHG
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqihy3Ch8m
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1YG8aGrvA
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEI54EQmyP
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0D7GBBmh9
"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?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoN10fUl9O
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi5yihLfbS
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVY9eKargh
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRtpj9eTCm
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSKKa0lutu
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1B8gwnVda
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfxhNfCmAH
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx7ukQbLHh
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FggjrtlgN
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMacNPdE1Dm
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5YPBj0836
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx77gVD4za
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEusflE3R3
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzYM6CXguf
"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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jSI3cSafj
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zir5RAFBo
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQgJkJE0Dy
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgextusZ6bN
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvuCO6raQg
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLSjYDZarx
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6mNaSEddB
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h6GnSYUq7
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZW3GsV89M
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagAGrfmEWg
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYsyd5Fkg1
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUZQFZDBFm
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPZRDsHors
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ5WEYPOzZ
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxYXqwhAZR
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rvwBIRBoX
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrSf4X7Zf9
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC0UHXE1by
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBXoVAJB04
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY4ZxhrLHb
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LFNXtDSnR
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCWA0BIbuK
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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHz5u0sn87
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWh8EjeIdK
"Really?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4naxJpNOOj
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcfkeSlZNp
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPhc4h0ZYU
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Am2jQDUTb
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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFRmuOFpOb
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O5dG1upgq
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRhB1enUoU
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuQImpOiHI
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPDYMOmVg6
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFJnyoNkno
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvQkdZrHzf
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGwsYTa9el
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCka208SQz
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhcMUEMyvC
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3U9WMSsuA
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT3xzIl3ct

"Do we really have to do anything?" Christine asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt3WpzZPvY
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb6mMgApAj
"Don't tell me you want to think of something like a battle strategy?" Lee asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYRQguJn3u

For a moment, we didn't say a thing as Lee stood up from the couch, taking the tablet with her back to the dining table. The others who stood went to take their seats. For a moment, some of us sat, slumped on the couch.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOfiVYI7UP
882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPsDOiQQbO
"Aren't you guys going to continue working on the song?" Lee asked at the dining area. We had been quiet for what felt like forever.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBAZXbvAyj

The five of us all looked at each other. It was surprising we wanted something sweet to boost our spirits. We needed some fresh air too. We all turned to look at Lee who sighed. She needed a doughnut too.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bqNpYbGxQ
