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?883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU08gj1tqw0
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfPLyIMHDN
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNNbHa6vAL
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU193mq31gs
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8g0B3WWVe
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaABlKPz1h
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUENUHDcgQW
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlKrx09Spf
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevVxk3RKY4
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduBc1n7KXW
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08FAtE3P4v
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuunSdOKUKA
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHmcih3qg2
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sYwhPmU0t
"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?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIzroViMxG
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBVpZMlovZ
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyqmdnxVXe
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6LnPkMdKj
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nownPktiF
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoJO4O8aEj
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUliY2kqBR
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMQVDVY4In
"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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPzr0Y7aPR
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SfKz60L4e
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxd7JOYOG1
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXMj6rA7HV
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMS1BUVmbq
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkxyP6dFZi
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAodgJpkfrH
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCPpPzWbsr
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXMKmAPuaS
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwlGR2Rp3w
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTvvTYqKHH
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0GVRVUCB8
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf2hvi9BmM
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuY0ix8fwl
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzaQUS0Nz6
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUpbbBI9JS
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0erVPNHhJi
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvrJMxvy8Z
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7inShz2Kwl
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIf1jWtQHn
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssF7xxAZIF
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxrl13H64M
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1gJzkUAuk
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScO0zBeCwi
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHFbRY5efX
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSEIcMUYjb
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP8btkJyNF
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DqnMStM2C
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ83oxwd3e
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVLucohhPN
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X9A3CkpcU
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN4GzfXeE6
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzEIRCb7OJ
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr6ywy10HW
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9Fr4f5K7u
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3WMWahkvU
"Sometimes I think you cheat."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0vMzC7RvJ
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoVziLBmYt
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYH8tg4Wx7
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TUFNXdIc9
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos4pfbuU9k
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDAEYGg9wS
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbRurl6mb5
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcVZMsdDUk
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5SETziE2M
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpofgWg0fC4
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqfaLq4YOm
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj9OTjhA3V
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F6LpwKyI9
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8wjPeTaiz
"I better go give them a call, then."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWNOcr8SDC
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OX1YVi1Pa
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXum9JVKvo
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOdKsww9gE
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYWF8cU8nM
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSSvSrk28C
"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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3U2h3E370
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTYuL9oaNA
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWmgPzWRgb
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVdMIYMgbf
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87mRkO1Jil
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBRdTYZ3mv
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?883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBOlOnxLYS
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFzGJbJuHy
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7aPWHU1WX
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8UoMjzBIw
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF0SIEueTj
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXOVnHfAs0
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp851TLOtql
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFvPGULGtX
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlX2NodkmP
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdPlhowlQV
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUdvfueueA
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjfmkVOnuX
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgvBUx1KNh
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIRqc8xx04
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1HnvcnHII
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3RB3D0z05
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NE30VEo5H
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaB63eQrxk
"Ya, sure."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3abLH6f7Nh
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6V4aNoHd7
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaztt4JrLoA
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r6XwJdy7w
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoQ5brkEto
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz4EoBqr5j
"Anything?" Zoey asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02MkqDDltk
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvekTHTsfV
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBVq2tsNPr
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQuKbmgP5u
"Okay, well, we can wait."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGg38B7wnL
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABI1oalrKE
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8jtjgtHdF
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5L8t0J5iN
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunRPyozyF3
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0wnja1SBz
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgcYO8fwYX
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqzB64elAa
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbC32K5sVP
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FcNAd4v4A
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihi6rMaeHu
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy8TUztUWU
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN74fZtxcz
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIc8stzG1J
"We can't work on the song without them."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wvqR2AKGU
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKVVfjdFZj
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s6JDPYj9D
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vHW1DXk9H
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZAkEYDrmf
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VckwzvmqE
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZGptYdqcW
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSLmnFWlYy
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vgSNfb9Ri
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJP7LclumC
"Then get your guitar and notebook."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZftHerL0m7
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCPfJPtj9L
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9M4LUkgfF
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVpg5Go1r5
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLF8waKFez
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CGEsFMfWD
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8yNSfVdbw
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1bIZfR1hM
"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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQEZKsL9v6
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QMOP486D2
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0VTxVB7T7
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoNBOGz9IY
"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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckLMzuMRfn
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22CYfiaFZb
"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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBB96TLMhc
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehRwupWGdD
"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?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHI76r3bDA
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMsoYuQSmn
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRKjQuxMKr
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0pPgZKVwC
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfbnKuZvSn
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBb5PY4a2B
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nAS21Z0Mq
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp6c5SmgtS
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSRo0t5pjq
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpc80a5LcC
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR4fJwXClb
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqN5XKpu3C
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTeGYZHCpZ
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC0e06Nsc2
"Yes, really," I answered.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq821uO7tJ
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nZmJKXp5s
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxzT8efBa9
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYvebBR7v8
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJftj51VuyD
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpO6sU7DlT
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYg52FEG1W
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTONampLW1O
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW8vE1NIg3
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXkVLQAtil
"What went well?" Lee asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpfEQV5nyK
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yAGCm5K9Z
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKrsFZoM87
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPaCO1kZwE
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3uBNDReUV
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2ElxZP6uj
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvQUO1CPaA
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSElIDoeMAC
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2hht0TrKN
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRgbX9ca52
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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt1dJSDoTc
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd9oBuaHzF
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1Nj4DrQ5H
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuptANFB5hu
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYQpmEdipZ
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr5HMKmoKZ
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKH2eayOLh
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSvc7rS3iM
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyIOQcywF5
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zR795Y49T
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WY7Pxa5PM
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoKEL1dXOR
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ2WIVIfZL
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUinuKZgZID
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwQXxAjQGe
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFnYTPsf14
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzQgzo9reW
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LxhtmEiJ8
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTb557VNYN
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWv02aC5FV
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMSGz99fAu
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsrCjvRFDc
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPJwe2Wgu6
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPcA8an2y6
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1usBqXImo
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjwiFjFh6a
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz9SeljKZn
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqaKZDsDt2
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsJluPJzIZ
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU9sFL0YMx
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5xa00imD9
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKXZkzbq4i
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOySoBvlxlw
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0fVJq8rVb
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4rxQOn7NG
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o6o7ucMlt
"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?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG00hPNpUAy
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7ksqGh1lm
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkycRu39ra
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGNO4RO6yK
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddeISYZSU5
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSh13GYeEv
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mgsK6f8Uf
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetilnMinQD
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1tUVKte7L
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwDziMqpu7
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmr3lawCkl
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nn5qvD3cD
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3somFtRj6u
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAtGkWKV3a
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW4KzvKzZe
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErHrSdPynX
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3WUtJ5lTX
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudDIgxi0Kg
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbK0AdSFU2

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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyVnZI0dYg
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsEwMBpxCE
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZs4HoYslc
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL5dwLqNZf
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbBhSLKb2G
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERI0dh0PXE
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFOhC2FORI
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dewy9HxAL
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPthHQiA8Mj
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AYdCjqgUm
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix0LA3BlvH
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡardM7yAujO
"What is it?" Christine asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N8c1pELPI
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNulFNYlLNK
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWwE0wgfzL
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwQeRGKVWa
"He's here," I said.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfTHY3rQ51
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStVcuIU33f
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w4gwzx7sX
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIiT1btBse
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNWsL0XN1i
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgiegWvoCz
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnze9rNzpi
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsFKdVCopf
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15cCx3YvxV
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lKyuUidJB
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6cqWc3W6j
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKLkyNDnfM
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTIyF3HY3V
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1rWTFYqf7
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2rn7LcErk
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPm8Z7KKMI
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2crtEa7ASh
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwozUT9eVG
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJglSwasQhr
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgNw8QQtgC
"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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61NIiHSaX9
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllbvBLTSKA
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqZ5piiJbu
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIg4GRTUnL
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNS3BcayKC
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BdG6HctzU
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tfg6lIJUS
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoIwsYPHl3
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvzdW0GXbk
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzhjGcCbL8
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDByVzhTR6P
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSReZSQGvN
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XVeltnCXE
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbwgcYUpTF
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatobMcgXGH
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPviwVPnAT2
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou0pV8RyPQ
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuDfIEnpMe
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCe72FroFW
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4Bo2rV4Vi
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HnnsGnOxM
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZh6lmrMoz
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERgk6NfoGW
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumLlC6gYZX
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcAegJgdjv
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreOuvJoVG2
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CGAFv8uTE
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVHndgilai
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAjqY2IPV3
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2IjWHQWWL
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZnXKZmImu
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAvO8o1heO
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....883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AGE29ftu2
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LwbUdpNCB
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN2wdHav0a
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiotwNM90K
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkMPCqdk3d
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYnnCjBfFA
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvisJpwok4u
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TAphjWkoQ
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjiBBQfWJO
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgatmgCzUj
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuvR3ws1yT
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgdzLBcgDz
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGkueBRyLw
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKyYB6kGbl
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDHa80ke5G
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIwsj23bVL
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ifQyMOBQx
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGAIgMjSwJ
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuXRDOGCHS
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5nWKdr4HM
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkG58wYG6c
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHrALuRK7b
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5USSdPKHTj
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCrIKu92VN
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxwxW9nUYO
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiWO4U7jJQ
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWVWovJEJk
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCZLLG6iC9
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAce5Rr5FAJ
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qps3g3UoT
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tdRuoZ2jN
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdpkjJ4Y4o
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOsH6hrtV8
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwMpaxJEAm
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38fMrxmhuO
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f4xLnUn2K
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GivSHRfWN
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNoIdkuSGC
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfgpT4V7hb
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw1NlAPGY7
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2NDJyxT30
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISOQhzkTWw
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaXRRPjkvq
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZwAKJm4kx
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKteBX823X
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6ZMDfxbhp
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7gTdESKDX
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM4gLXjCnn
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx53GGXuk3
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN7cMhxTUM
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajZaflZeHH
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOxNPJgtTz
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw21nrpQ0za
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPd8uVe8Hs
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqdzebO6uk
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHS1lbbPnb
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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwisNrGmneA
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAGCVjMWu7
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOLDKOhrHK
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQon33ei61w
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..."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv73LBfeh5f
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8kGMCyWVG
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8z0pIv8ng
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc2IFPBs2i
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvYGcMgUk7
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tJOuFluIj
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCBQBmqqiZ
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjKMfbwHFW
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iQ3F8CJmt
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YMTQftjKQ
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavdYkWtrgo
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP5xBMJ7hf
"I can't believe it" she said.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO4BFVg0ho
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuLsDpe4bI
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgMcprUalV
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKCubUrjbY
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKBoUcuGrG
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9j1gYpMtD
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw8U63j8Rw
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGsU6Hv74l
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHcDJFyBq4
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK9G6619Tu
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36qM1vJpKq
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMooUMemah
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDgcF8FZrS
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1vx9bzGye
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:883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7zdOzilxZ
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlDQv4YUHS
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD4Oenz1HG
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaoKL5WxPs
"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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CHHuckSll
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmb1racG2w
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnE83r37GQ
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9zkPY4yLv
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWDqbrYGOa
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcWQwN3ZwV
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhmqYOQlcM
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHT9CWyHHz
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq1QZExPFS
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOZqrZNETT
"He seems pretty cool."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctYCMwzDwB
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXskNJiBoGy
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1mXBcusZy
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4GJZZqh0a
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtZ5LTlIV8
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6VbAHUmR9
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h37b7OA1R
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1x2c7Q4RW
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOtIh8UDfo
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQCib5MxMc
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJlwFbqLja
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX9jk5I4dz
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz77MnbOVe
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9ygoZGJyY
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9ypF8xrHq
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7JkFeuzWr
"This 'Johnny' thing?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY82TLS5YZb
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyriYk39YZ
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bLXQA1EHp
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlp2DMfuyu
"Why would we?" I asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCEFnXihV2
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcEGpRQtPs
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WXVEzUJlf
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihkB7J3nc6
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hBH9exNCt
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mSv7mrp6o
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW79zp0W1J
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSSKYyMmUu
"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?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PvQ0hFwqE
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCLY2lTrvb
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKPGTew2qt
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HveWb6rfT
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSGu4IrLnh
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtKnE7p9TQ
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV3LgzRsZk
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUupFpkK18
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOcKeqydZ4
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDrCoEmGM7
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKiWrzbjVy
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPYF0VszFa
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSYSlyDkyj
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MDt4LmCa0
"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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKUnhwOSE6
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXKD0ObShU
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0bIjXOYgm
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlVNMUZtfG
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrztDWq22Z
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSk8AbmCKw
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32XFGyomIu
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYT0aJn0H2
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoxPg7J9f1
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWIDGZPnXq
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJKHsOnUT5
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lV7BvYY4V
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8oAkwDJ2N
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBiGvHRHYe
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd6heJTjBL
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ9SYlHGD1
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvAkv1fTsT
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6DMxNdU7q
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTNL16hyYz
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO9oGOZ8Tt
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzvux4P7fH
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9jH8Zcrhj
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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRSEby27tV
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYkSJnfP4I
"Really?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnOQE0snNR
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviQzcWoLnJ
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwiJwhIBA2
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5jpy2IIDw
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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DC8aW02jL
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5nzLnOI6f
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtu1Qer8PT
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKrnElmRTs
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJDQATOahz
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTggO2F4sFl
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0tXI7dBDy
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dSQb5jDKw
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtYYyq2Ecd
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXIyyJ0PBT
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiUTPPb4ND
883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMO8h8xcsD

"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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaTr3a3Z6E

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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLSOxevzET
