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?804Please respect copyright.PENANAK1tfvtDzT9
804Please respect copyright.PENANAiad5Y71Ozp
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.804Please respect copyright.PENANAW6OA7BOqsv
804Please respect copyright.PENANAnlYjVT6w82
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.804Please respect copyright.PENANAb73h71IjcW
804Please respect copyright.PENANAIrPkHq0R4T
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.804Please respect copyright.PENANAKvM0GVvFMp
804Please respect copyright.PENANAkW5qEj55DA
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.804Please respect copyright.PENANAAsdmAgJcwe
804Please respect copyright.PENANA55S1pQOY0H
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.804Please respect copyright.PENANAEcIxc1kcat
804Please respect copyright.PENANAQdIYb6rY2i
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.804Please respect copyright.PENANACLKr4VKCGo
804Please respect copyright.PENANAm321RRmpxy
"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?"804Please respect copyright.PENANADGocM3pBZb
804Please respect copyright.PENANAArGQyIaxrF
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."804Please respect copyright.PENANAJvSAjPySTY
804Please respect copyright.PENANA2LeOT8NDKb
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.804Please respect copyright.PENANAH9RmdB0dUF
804Please respect copyright.PENANAjEtBMgJbrE
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.804Please respect copyright.PENANAB0k82yXnXE
804Please respect copyright.PENANANnP9Lrsj3W
"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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAUMHOnHoiRJ
804Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8kKFgduMb
"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."804Please respect copyright.PENANAAm2GvN2IuF
804Please respect copyright.PENANAwrf7uYlWJU
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.804Please respect copyright.PENANAh9ohAkmdUS
804Please respect copyright.PENANAAUtmuGqgCc
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.804Please respect copyright.PENANARGlpSuorgc
804Please respect copyright.PENANArSS0QZeSHP
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.804Please respect copyright.PENANA8A1noDa8eT
804Please respect copyright.PENANAq4W8RXlDxI
"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."804Please respect copyright.PENANADtTLmnDWo2
804Please respect copyright.PENANAclqFH491ic
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.804Please respect copyright.PENANAi0IVVPjLIT
804Please respect copyright.PENANAeO6KQF5YO1
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."804Please respect copyright.PENANAaWE7AKqN71
804Please respect copyright.PENANAH2aiijfIJG
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.804Please respect copyright.PENANAEFFAnorlXV
804Please respect copyright.PENANAa7pnEffERN
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAaU5oNvP9bo
804Please respect copyright.PENANAoRbthCACcx
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.804Please respect copyright.PENANAYNUdP086TE
804Please respect copyright.PENANA8XjeQzmvWF
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."804Please respect copyright.PENANAaPICLapHWK
804Please respect copyright.PENANAhVyGtRrfqj
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.804Please respect copyright.PENANAe8JRtskVAy
804Please respect copyright.PENANAISfGhaKY1G
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.804Please respect copyright.PENANALFikEjfpFv
804Please respect copyright.PENANARA81KYyfv6
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.804Please respect copyright.PENANAblyFaDplvd
804Please respect copyright.PENANAYIhODaUABW
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAJY9tYklPdi
804Please respect copyright.PENANAsdWgZM72jT
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."804Please respect copyright.PENANAh8llE5UKfX
804Please respect copyright.PENANAGnk8SgeCWv
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.804Please respect copyright.PENANAQsjEHk6hhk
804Please respect copyright.PENANAC52Ift3VEP
"Sometimes I think you cheat."804Please respect copyright.PENANAoNMceE9lEo
804Please respect copyright.PENANA4V07IU3cNj
"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."804Please respect copyright.PENANAud94vl6DyC
804Please respect copyright.PENANAe1ZZ8URsXc
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."804Please respect copyright.PENANABvJVUpeSWs
804Please respect copyright.PENANAbpVC55sozE
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.804Please respect copyright.PENANA3okjY3il0C
804Please respect copyright.PENANAsRkTvMouNo
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.804Please respect copyright.PENANAHDw4eFbv8F
804Please respect copyright.PENANAHernSdCwqi
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.804Please respect copyright.PENANAI1vda3OoNt
804Please respect copyright.PENANApWawU8LpO6
"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."804Please respect copyright.PENANAaZsf8WssSM
804Please respect copyright.PENANAU7iI5d1afo
"I better go give them a call, then."804Please respect copyright.PENANAf2234wUEbg
804Please respect copyright.PENANAUK18BQaXAg
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAcpXjGYUIAK
804Please respect copyright.PENANAVKpqAc5A1d
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAkGWuBSnIDQ
804Please respect copyright.PENANAaRINBu7sxz
"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.804Please respect copyright.PENANA4LjvnHYTSL
804Please respect copyright.PENANAHpavGyYQfs
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAJd5NxqCDR8
804Please respect copyright.PENANAYnONVSKa4A
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAwrzdUOfsK8
804Please respect copyright.PENANAAvLMWxigrw
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?804Please respect copyright.PENANA18oegZKTZC
804Please respect copyright.PENANAtFWJjpuzfn
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAijQYkMnIxS
804Please respect copyright.PENANA7mnrmu1Drg
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.804Please respect copyright.PENANAnWUbLGrVLL
804Please respect copyright.PENANAUDoqbG9UDH
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.804Please respect copyright.PENANAKl8OctGtUm
804Please respect copyright.PENANAXyWXd33Svm
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."804Please respect copyright.PENANApwpvF4fKf1
804Please respect copyright.PENANAzrbvRbU1cK
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"804Please respect copyright.PENANAMZOJAe2Czp
804Please respect copyright.PENANA1Qv81x5XKd
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"804Please respect copyright.PENANAP06pCTPopW
804Please respect copyright.PENANAqY8diMYd15
"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."804Please respect copyright.PENANAC4izZB6qSu
804Please respect copyright.PENANAxoA4qxkCsB
"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."804Please respect copyright.PENANA4qcau7c155
804Please respect copyright.PENANASUpbeVoHxc
"Ya, sure."804Please respect copyright.PENANA2hScYeNpyh
804Please respect copyright.PENANAS4ladIB0XC
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAY7ENVSurDl
804Please respect copyright.PENANAA4qzKPpFA6
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.804Please respect copyright.PENANAuDiwMz0xCm
804Please respect copyright.PENANAqqtXtyagtn
"Anything?" Zoey asked.804Please respect copyright.PENANA1c6CdNOzhD
804Please respect copyright.PENANAAZZBjoGKSJ
"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."804Please respect copyright.PENANAhmNI7MHw9i
804Please respect copyright.PENANAcTNLDar5hS
"Okay, well, we can wait."804Please respect copyright.PENANAIB2RKXgMYu
804Please respect copyright.PENANAjIYz3c7jC9
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."804Please respect copyright.PENANAiEr1DCKqEz
804Please respect copyright.PENANATsixLqzgEj
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."804Please respect copyright.PENANAbzmMysUCVG
804Please respect copyright.PENANAnZQjQjO5Rr
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."804Please respect copyright.PENANA96SRk704EA
804Please respect copyright.PENANAZlp6ozFcz1
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."804Please respect copyright.PENANAKBX6lGWz43
804Please respect copyright.PENANAzzlk0AO8zC
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."804Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2b530HthX
804Please respect copyright.PENANAk0LrpLELPm
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.804Please respect copyright.PENANAiXQB3TCDr1
804Please respect copyright.PENANArfIjT1zxf6
"We can't work on the song without them."804Please respect copyright.PENANA1JeoyQoZ7K
804Please respect copyright.PENANAZDIIQIbkPC
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."804Please respect copyright.PENANAJnjifd50kt
804Please respect copyright.PENANAH8rbgM9uSL
"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."804Please respect copyright.PENANAYVud6VdWXa
804Please respect copyright.PENANAUNDrEsMp7N
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."804Please respect copyright.PENANAcAhxDu3qU9
804Please respect copyright.PENANAsTE7fu7tRR
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.804Please respect copyright.PENANACvXPEDLY5Z
804Please respect copyright.PENANALZZPZENsHO
"Then get your guitar and notebook."804Please respect copyright.PENANAATMT5fYIBq
804Please respect copyright.PENANAPinYmvyJvr
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."804Please respect copyright.PENANAkpZ7Fa7L8d
804Please respect copyright.PENANAAOUFTrwK5k
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"804Please respect copyright.PENANAESAHN8ExgE
804Please respect copyright.PENANAESabyxUDQe
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."804Please respect copyright.PENANA8ACLgG4P8d
804Please respect copyright.PENANAUuVNFAMB71
"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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAtFfdMnmmoC
804Please respect copyright.PENANAMbzUSLZu5r
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAboIQRVjLDt
804Please respect copyright.PENANAXhZ0PclLTZ
"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.804Please respect copyright.PENANABcs9LdK1PY
804Please respect copyright.PENANAsLSDahS0C7
"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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAJGZul9Wbwi
804Please respect copyright.PENANAZL2s4ZTRq4
"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?"804Please respect copyright.PENANAmm4puHQ2gG
804Please respect copyright.PENANAzrHIMsC3ZV
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.804Please respect copyright.PENANAHBkQWHc4iH
804Please respect copyright.PENANAI8Uh4f4YJa
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."804Please respect copyright.PENANAEh4NJ5hJII
804Please respect copyright.PENANAP70Llpq6S1
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.804Please respect copyright.PENANAww9D7V6tqj
804Please respect copyright.PENANAoxVqZEP7x9
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.804Please respect copyright.PENANAdp2qj9gnD3
804Please respect copyright.PENANAmONANkZbsY
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.804Please respect copyright.PENANAIy7WGdfnce
804Please respect copyright.PENANABNQlejhy2O
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.804Please respect copyright.PENANANDzvx56Cok
804Please respect copyright.PENANA2WiGcgXsZz
"Yes, really," I answered.804Please respect copyright.PENANAaLHoClgDpv
804Please respect copyright.PENANAfMaa40b4HR
"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."804Please respect copyright.PENANAnvkRQYCXUx
804Please respect copyright.PENANAkR2nmd6VgQ
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."804Please respect copyright.PENANAinWxCgk35i
804Please respect copyright.PENANAmrvrj6VWc1
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.804Please respect copyright.PENANAtWXecMzSyb
804Please respect copyright.PENANAXfJaMWuEB0
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.804Please respect copyright.PENANApSHrAOYv29
804Please respect copyright.PENANADfF95VStVD
"What went well?" Lee asked.804Please respect copyright.PENANAj0HWf4LEj2
804Please respect copyright.PENANApgQrIMa9RT
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.804Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZDBVSAgxo
804Please respect copyright.PENANAFVeiEqGeZq
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAintTRQcajB
804Please respect copyright.PENANA6LMx9Ft1tF
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANA34nQk3tuUh
804Please respect copyright.PENANAIl0KWW62Xl
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.804Please respect copyright.PENANA4F89hkE60n
804Please respect copyright.PENANAsMSuAFLikk
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."804Please respect copyright.PENANALyzPjIfZ1I
804Please respect copyright.PENANA57S3UzxWqN
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.804Please respect copyright.PENANA1L5qBfzrDJ
804Please respect copyright.PENANAZYdMtV2W8c
"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."804Please respect copyright.PENANACA3Eann4ov
804Please respect copyright.PENANABhyggszAIo
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.804Please respect copyright.PENANAvQiqqIMxov
804Please respect copyright.PENANAjuvmbAMxBc
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.804Please respect copyright.PENANA2KU8ojICbj
804Please respect copyright.PENANAeys0v1E4uF
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.804Please respect copyright.PENANATwuPqZS3HO
804Please respect copyright.PENANAO67FgDIPP7
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.804Please respect copyright.PENANAPJ9dvKZPlo
804Please respect copyright.PENANAfnTjfKhT2w
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANA1N2OGmZs6S
804Please respect copyright.PENANAcUwsytlSoS
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.804Please respect copyright.PENANAUjApSuaWVL
804Please respect copyright.PENANAHAV2ZVX7GH
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.804Please respect copyright.PENANATPax3gGVFL
804Please respect copyright.PENANATA5NuXk5Z9
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.804Please respect copyright.PENANAFgfrOnhFTF
804Please respect copyright.PENANA1iNtA4GsBv
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."804Please respect copyright.PENANAWmNyvcqIwQ
804Please respect copyright.PENANAfed3TWiqTS
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"804Please respect copyright.PENANArULNc03qlc
804Please respect copyright.PENANA7y6obFEx3V
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAwSeHr7hLTV
804Please respect copyright.PENANATxu9SdfHPm
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"804Please respect copyright.PENANA9Da3Viqi4E
804Please respect copyright.PENANAlJAdrcRIum
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."804Please respect copyright.PENANAp7jhfRHHe5
804Please respect copyright.PENANAduaStWlfpH
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.804Please respect copyright.PENANAywsFC3HFy0
804Please respect copyright.PENANAkvpepKi0I1
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."804Please respect copyright.PENANAJMNuhLPvXw
804Please respect copyright.PENANAp9vAR25NBE
"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?"804Please respect copyright.PENANAG8a1gtWQ21
804Please respect copyright.PENANABXCevrPgbV
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.804Please respect copyright.PENANAybHaQCujmZ
804Please respect copyright.PENANA3k1ZIuN6BW
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.804Please respect copyright.PENANAsipUmAYsJW
804Please respect copyright.PENANAfpbYrWdcuK
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"804Please respect copyright.PENANAeNYLnkXngO
804Please respect copyright.PENANAWtQKGHmIJd
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.804Please respect copyright.PENANApDDdyc38fK
804Please respect copyright.PENANAxxw8VyPRsq
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.804Please respect copyright.PENANAdzzIzUFY7L
804Please respect copyright.PENANAGW4esbIcfE
"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."804Please respect copyright.PENANAth8y4JBGHI
804Please respect copyright.PENANAnZNQKMsfkn
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.804Please respect copyright.PENANApWAadQbi4J
804Please respect copyright.PENANAptvhsXjMD4
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"804Please respect copyright.PENANANUOuLYMNri
804Please respect copyright.PENANAvFxIogfOQ7
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAMxLIXKk8A7
804Please respect copyright.PENANAvQeYCi3xXm
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANA1wVMq7bXq6
804Please respect copyright.PENANAcIaiEIvf8Y
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.804Please respect copyright.PENANAerh9m922vH
804Please respect copyright.PENANAR52DKXIU0a
"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."804Please respect copyright.PENANAhiUAT2sajU
804Please respect copyright.PENANAakW2XEB2ZN
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."804Please respect copyright.PENANAI4FPmJmFpx
804Please respect copyright.PENANAiEfxgc3SjA
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."804Please respect copyright.PENANAMSJWMwEQGm
804Please respect copyright.PENANAY6xDyPoIqO
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.804Please respect copyright.PENANAAAwTEFdv64
804Please respect copyright.PENANAtjCKNsGVhW
"What is it?" Christine asked.804Please respect copyright.PENANAK2HONGEkfr
804Please respect copyright.PENANA6EgOmVvuOG
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.804Please respect copyright.PENANAyC2nLjdvQr

"He's here," I said.804Please respect copyright.PENANA2F3WRWUcgA
804Please respect copyright.PENANArExadEpSAL
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"804Please respect copyright.PENANAD2A4WTXJfG
804Please respect copyright.PENANApqMHHGSYjC
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.804Please respect copyright.PENANAAaI0pNKrJS
804Please respect copyright.PENANAeQoM6mlI6G
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.804Please respect copyright.PENANAai4TaobvyZ
804Please respect copyright.PENANASagfvd6q3f
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.804Please respect copyright.PENANA0YxafEr6n2
804Please respect copyright.PENANAC8rp37zYLS
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"804Please respect copyright.PENANABptrEDCVHM
804Please respect copyright.PENANAnD9Rvj3Wzb
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.804Please respect copyright.PENANAZNfjJiHlVW
804Please respect copyright.PENANA9gvoluI6JZ
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."804Please respect copyright.PENANAELobe0osMf
804Please respect copyright.PENANAuKeNxrEGKm
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.804Please respect copyright.PENANAqtWCpoLb5w
804Please respect copyright.PENANA9FiyqON2xj
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.804Please respect copyright.PENANANGHivvf6Tz
804Please respect copyright.PENANAfjUZWv17vR
"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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAQQzTglt4Ya
804Please respect copyright.PENANAs0dnPfSTJ3
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.804Please respect copyright.PENANAAeMcL3ENFe
804Please respect copyright.PENANAa0pE8U9IZc
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.804Please respect copyright.PENANAWgOgZQXL9U
804Please respect copyright.PENANAv2P4a6gAB3
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."804Please respect copyright.PENANASIqep3zJBv
804Please respect copyright.PENANAhFyFibZWEJ
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAWYVXScIFrV
804Please respect copyright.PENANAjT8u6v6pbL
"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."804Please respect copyright.PENANAEuCn9Iwha6
804Please respect copyright.PENANAyN6JsZnrmH
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.804Please respect copyright.PENANAbczv6JcDdL
804Please respect copyright.PENANAwmNBL7X9Is
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.804Please respect copyright.PENANAfxFXWyFv4L
804Please respect copyright.PENANAaXfwKaiI5Y
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"804Please respect copyright.PENANAZnfFiTyqXN
804Please respect copyright.PENANAy08kUm6Ug5
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.804Please respect copyright.PENANA4qpT8wSzoG
804Please respect copyright.PENANAWBTVAcFVrT
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."804Please respect copyright.PENANA7Pgd4GyQhh
804Please respect copyright.PENANAmmcmAMQ2eC
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."804Please respect copyright.PENANACKhX46wgxU
804Please respect copyright.PENANAJUPWT1CNP7
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.804Please respect copyright.PENANAlCUGmOlkpm
804Please respect copyright.PENANAoYvLtU92AV
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."804Please respect copyright.PENANAoep6nG1i2L
804Please respect copyright.PENANAj7ruvmZejI
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.804Please respect copyright.PENANAg1MRxTDVPx
804Please respect copyright.PENANAwV4oVFxsON
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.804Please respect copyright.PENANANViU77EyW3
804Please respect copyright.PENANAViw2T2XO9i
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....804Please respect copyright.PENANAuKt6QeYx1O
804Please respect copyright.PENANAnlVoTFf95Z
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."804Please respect copyright.PENANAKwPWtQQogc
804Please respect copyright.PENANA3wRNa8Ag4u
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"804Please respect copyright.PENANAw3449wfEab
804Please respect copyright.PENANAySyxEaPUZL
"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."804Please respect copyright.PENANA6vIQwVSkXL
804Please respect copyright.PENANA8ki3YUDo06
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."804Please respect copyright.PENANAyDThIQhiKW
804Please respect copyright.PENANA11wKdcoxuk
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.804Please respect copyright.PENANA2TOYYGYqQX
804Please respect copyright.PENANAEJoSxSulVQ
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.804Please respect copyright.PENANAi85xjhsasK
804Please respect copyright.PENANAGAiEeOM9ve
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."804Please respect copyright.PENANAwadMKrqGLU
804Please respect copyright.PENANAEHuMqEV4T0
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.804Please respect copyright.PENANATO4Mz1OqHP
804Please respect copyright.PENANAUhcAj8M3ym
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAcTxEjeaMGo
804Please respect copyright.PENANAb1yfxQnEVq
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"804Please respect copyright.PENANAWBQdxbJCLP
804Please respect copyright.PENANAfhli3t6zla
"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."804Please respect copyright.PENANAjXqTTYHecP
804Please respect copyright.PENANABuhXPUK9rf
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.804Please respect copyright.PENANA6GlxljWFVT
804Please respect copyright.PENANAc9iBkn9SF8
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."804Please respect copyright.PENANA0XDvx4jl54
804Please respect copyright.PENANAx8XJ19ZxIq
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.804Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ4aMhQEUR
804Please respect copyright.PENANAkMSPafurwj
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.804Please respect copyright.PENANAZR6wyIzLLE
804Please respect copyright.PENANAMCEi8ABYCs
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.804Please respect copyright.PENANARMOM7sEFzT
804Please respect copyright.PENANAj1oRCF2NwB
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.804Please respect copyright.PENANA1CGm1mK5Jr
804Please respect copyright.PENANAtuqVZ1X1mO
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAjugT5mXuPh
804Please respect copyright.PENANAbOm8eaTWO8
"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."804Please respect copyright.PENANA4C4RSk0Urm
804Please respect copyright.PENANAStZcEErRQA
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.804Please respect copyright.PENANAxDCIQZIYXj
804Please respect copyright.PENANAaYWcc3dlWP
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."804Please respect copyright.PENANAjY9mVy7Pqg
804Please respect copyright.PENANAyn9i0zoNUL
"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."804Please respect copyright.PENANAHTsMlNKBWr
804Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0UPFYFwJJ
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAUiRcj2nNGB
804Please respect copyright.PENANA2Yihswo4ea
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.804Please respect copyright.PENANAEGCrb7KIZ5
804Please respect copyright.PENANA4nRXs8aix5
"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."804Please respect copyright.PENANAVlPlTUr4Ez
804Please respect copyright.PENANAUwNXZMmQ4J
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."804Please respect copyright.PENANAxul3HUohmx
804Please respect copyright.PENANAmojLSYqOEA
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"804Please respect copyright.PENANAN8reI2kaIn
804Please respect copyright.PENANA4Eq5PKXcey
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."804Please respect copyright.PENANA2hITBgV6T0
804Please respect copyright.PENANA80yEAD6xJC
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."804Please respect copyright.PENANA9d0C0ngMnv
804Please respect copyright.PENANAqyuWWlDlBG
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..."804Please respect copyright.PENANATKkKp7YBDc
804Please respect copyright.PENANAgMtETLfiLM
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"804Please respect copyright.PENANA1rvMetMeBp
804Please respect copyright.PENANAt3cDegUKNo
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.804Please respect copyright.PENANACANprEMwIi
804Please respect copyright.PENANArqgopfJUHt
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.804Please respect copyright.PENANA1gHxSg0lUs
804Please respect copyright.PENANAm5tmNbkjoS
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.804Please respect copyright.PENANAZ41qvQCLhG
804Please respect copyright.PENANAbSe2qMO7La
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.804Please respect copyright.PENANADhuhLj5fFa
804Please respect copyright.PENANAjUDTHIIG3k
"I can't believe it" she said.804Please respect copyright.PENANAX7kwol9fYX
804Please respect copyright.PENANAU0uKYP7Hva
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.804Please respect copyright.PENANAD8ogCCljB5
804Please respect copyright.PENANAz84jQ0ilgN
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.804Please respect copyright.PENANASMDumXmDx5
804Please respect copyright.PENANAVqqOskGpOD
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.804Please respect copyright.PENANAzQlc8EDs17
804Please respect copyright.PENANAMOcVWStK1A
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.804Please respect copyright.PENANAXLQGUr5kC2
804Please respect copyright.PENANACuBFqlpZy2
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAw9BzUBECVi
804Please respect copyright.PENANAqox8NH0qsu
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAoaMYFlaSPo
804Please respect copyright.PENANAUsU8eV5G6y
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:804Please respect copyright.PENANAvV45JU56ll
804Please respect copyright.PENANAopsVF2f8JI
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.804Please respect copyright.PENANAE4hpDhADHt
804Please respect copyright.PENANAHQ3XQSHDrf
"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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAGuMeZYTYMd
804Please respect copyright.PENANAnJF5tzPkpo
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAFtcg0RouLd
804Please respect copyright.PENANAafcG1xJVTS
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."804Please respect copyright.PENANAYnw0F9VCsr
804Please respect copyright.PENANAzUWwUqq86Z
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.804Please respect copyright.PENANAVDth3Wloby
804Please respect copyright.PENANAmtiIPQz7qf
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.804Please respect copyright.PENANAmwEbLV16AY
804Please respect copyright.PENANAMS5yCO6hLO
"He seems pretty cool."804Please respect copyright.PENANArop91dWiVx
804Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7UjRwSMgA
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.804Please respect copyright.PENANA4Twcwniv5B
804Please respect copyright.PENANAMsp4o8RpCJ
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.804Please respect copyright.PENANAQVgR2fcfHf
804Please respect copyright.PENANA4m0WucN2AA
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."804Please respect copyright.PENANAunRELMspfc
804Please respect copyright.PENANA7lGRDXqAZJ
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.804Please respect copyright.PENANA2lbAkOoRlo
804Please respect copyright.PENANA9dMJmfS4OC
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."804Please respect copyright.PENANA5rvyFDaJ32
804Please respect copyright.PENANA7ulIIBn6Ic
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.804Please respect copyright.PENANAOYh8uqFwbz
804Please respect copyright.PENANA6lUKYYATMI
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.804Please respect copyright.PENANAC3yHcUnwkt
804Please respect copyright.PENANAJ867N18agC
"This 'Johnny' thing?"804Please respect copyright.PENANAeJqZMN7Pyx
804Please respect copyright.PENANAuiY6TH2eJ6
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.804Please respect copyright.PENANA8qpNqF2ya1
804Please respect copyright.PENANATjgcvxKjiM
"Why would we?" I asked.804Please respect copyright.PENANAq6rQzYNaR5
804Please respect copyright.PENANAkBQ4tvepuQ
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."804Please respect copyright.PENANAMDmSeqA2cG
804Please respect copyright.PENANAGwvyfEeNOb
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."804Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7cRw8qA0L
804Please respect copyright.PENANAcgPdeNZNFh
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."804Please respect copyright.PENANAWE3MYqqdyT
804Please respect copyright.PENANAgjhjt4buyJ
"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?"804Please respect copyright.PENANAbZUufsGKWl
804Please respect copyright.PENANA76AoGhngiC
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.804Please respect copyright.PENANALcvXmk1x9i
804Please respect copyright.PENANAUL38cua9Yc
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.804Please respect copyright.PENANATRCLF9CvRb
804Please respect copyright.PENANAjyqsm8si71
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."804Please respect copyright.PENANA5JKBCaAIkE
804Please respect copyright.PENANAkNaaTgBPv1
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANALIYYE9o8QS
804Please respect copyright.PENANAhYZuA7zvWT
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.804Please respect copyright.PENANALuMkGgHMYq
804Please respect copyright.PENANANbbEWHxqCn
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."804Please respect copyright.PENANAO7jDStHof6
804Please respect copyright.PENANA2fKjCCQ2FW
"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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAdet4JNyH5t
804Please respect copyright.PENANAegNndvmvTL
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.804Please respect copyright.PENANAD4zp6lcYYU
804Please respect copyright.PENANAjD6Xk2n83w
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.804Please respect copyright.PENANAsKCcFOmCaH
804Please respect copyright.PENANA6rRDpsSsO6
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.804Please respect copyright.PENANAlLNcHgEkmC
804Please respect copyright.PENANAb8KUvJlgSQ
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.804Please respect copyright.PENANAQbF2XKMlLW
804Please respect copyright.PENANAuoo081B8QW
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."804Please respect copyright.PENANAO35HnGyA4N
804Please respect copyright.PENANAdFO5Ne8yTg
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.804Please respect copyright.PENANA7pnTxMHjWl
804Please respect copyright.PENANAdBlqmz6QUl
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.804Please respect copyright.PENANAeSouxF7e8D
804Please respect copyright.PENANApzLz2LCMRw
"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."804Please respect copyright.PENANAIgYgIyO0kD
804Please respect copyright.PENANABXsDyfqm0h
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."804Please respect copyright.PENANATQ3lGlfBVr
804Please respect copyright.PENANAZL9lj2Pqw7
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"804Please respect copyright.PENANAoGmsYmFyHy
804Please respect copyright.PENANA2hYJosLkT4
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."804Please respect copyright.PENANAFqVHl5dML5
804Please respect copyright.PENANAjd5mDYnGbt
"Really?"804Please respect copyright.PENANA1V8Rc5unbm
804Please respect copyright.PENANAdVMggEOhUf
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"804Please respect copyright.PENANAVDtGNiyszd
804Please respect copyright.PENANA9AQo4EeDaK
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."804Please respect copyright.PENANAnXDGARgcyE
804Please respect copyright.PENANARE9Cn8FAnT
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."804Please respect copyright.PENANA51Z9Q2IiGj
804Please respect copyright.PENANAVeXKz9NnAw
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.804Please respect copyright.PENANAzm5iEmkDPc
804Please respect copyright.PENANAv7M89P1yQj
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."804Please respect copyright.PENANABaRriNu43t
804Please respect copyright.PENANAWBvPSc9lp8
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.804Please respect copyright.PENANAT7OnLxIn0y
804Please respect copyright.PENANA53He0s5cDH
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.804Please respect copyright.PENANADr7JuyoFen
804Please respect copyright.PENANAZE4nMnqxvW
"Ya, you too," I answered as I smiled back.804Please respect copyright.PENANA3P4BaFoFlE
804Please respect copyright.PENANAyk029v3h1c
He turned and walked to the elevator. I stood there and watched him leave.804Please respect copyright.PENANApgjHRuuzNZ
804Please respect copyright.PENANAdzvf0n94wX
"Sam, get in here quick!" Zoey called out to me. "You have to see this!"804Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ1hYiEQVq
804Please respect copyright.PENANAo0Spgb6jJP
I quickly went back into the lounge and took my seat next to Lee.804Please respect copyright.PENANApTfJkWPM8g
804Please respect copyright.PENANA9X1iOnTEz4
"This better be worth the call," I said as I looked at Lee's tablet.804Please respect copyright.PENANAO7EpDX8SCd
804Please respect copyright.PENANAjCSLnOnilM
"There was a dance video of Lisa and some girl," said Lee as she played the video for me.804Please respect copyright.PENANARdI0qUZKPY
804Please respect copyright.PENANAF26YckJFxf
I watched Lisa and the young lady danced to a popular K-Pop song. There were people around that watched and cheered.804Please respect copyright.PENANAIVSRn1cerP
804Please respect copyright.PENANA50H0H8KcYV
"Well, that's cool," I said after the clip ended.804Please respect copyright.PENANAdLB6lzJN45
804Please respect copyright.PENANAiXavf4WDN0
"These guys had a really good time," said Mike.804Please respect copyright.PENANA7I8iv5rwK7
804Please respect copyright.PENANAGOVsjF8oiP
"Ya, but with someone you consider your enemy," said Lee.804Please respect copyright.PENANA0X3NQ9k85Z
804Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ6brxtq38
"Whatever," said Christine. "We're way past that. We just don't want any drama with him."804Please respect copyright.PENANAjmffI09aDM
804Please respect copyright.PENANAx8YqWA758h
"That will be impossible since he got to hang out with G-Dragon, BlackPink and WINNER who happen to be your friends."804Please respect copyright.PENANAi0zoBodJCR
804Please respect copyright.PENANAA24URMA9ZT
"Ya, good point," said Daniel. "What do you think we should do?"804Please respect copyright.PENANA2BVDkjHYLy
804Please respect copyright.PENANAhphs1d5C9B
"Do we really have to do anything?" Christine asked.804Please respect copyright.PENANAiQhaPbh7pl
804Please respect copyright.PENANAxZpAOVvIiY
"Don't tell me you want to think of something like a battle strategy?" Lee asked.804Please respect copyright.PENANAaPIBeAKmF7
804Please respect copyright.PENANAyxsMetfuKK
"Why should we?" I asked. "We have a song to work on, remember? Johnny should be the least of our problems."804Please respect copyright.PENANA1dWXCKgox4
804Please respect copyright.PENANAikqjk9sZxr
"Something tells me we are going to meet him sooner than we anticipated," said Zoey.804Please respect copyright.PENANABBiLAL1uz6
804Please respect copyright.PENANAumvEFiImdZ
