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?499Please respect copyright.PENANAUCsoDSirf6
499Please respect copyright.PENANA2W5cLmZjmO
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.499Please respect copyright.PENANAqdyfFrfqtn
499Please respect copyright.PENANAg5BuPFT1rw
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.499Please respect copyright.PENANAKpEwJIhJ4u
499Please respect copyright.PENANAqHfqN2ejv5
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.499Please respect copyright.PENANA4HCKtDaH57
499Please respect copyright.PENANALber47yIuI
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.499Please respect copyright.PENANAy9kO81zXSf
499Please respect copyright.PENANAVaePlzzRgH
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.499Please respect copyright.PENANAoFRKtEcyoC
499Please respect copyright.PENANAyImAMt0W6u
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.499Please respect copyright.PENANAtgXPNTNkA5
499Please respect copyright.PENANAsPBuiCcHig
"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?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAs9YyMcOpwD
499Please respect copyright.PENANAqTEtXKO0Uo
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."499Please respect copyright.PENANAeTLytUDei0
499Please respect copyright.PENANAOjAnzy1jRF
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.499Please respect copyright.PENANAqFd95vF4IV
499Please respect copyright.PENANA60jbwGVmoD
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.499Please respect copyright.PENANAS4LnJbTR7V
499Please respect copyright.PENANAiicN0hIlEL
"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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAoN0oGssVp3
499Please respect copyright.PENANAwfRdaHFa4r
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANA6keZ7X5wxf
499Please respect copyright.PENANAeknTUq08Sm
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.499Please respect copyright.PENANATe3JbfB1P5
499Please respect copyright.PENANAXhdpu5kBxI
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.499Please respect copyright.PENANAqj7zZQ0KKX
499Please respect copyright.PENANA8DD5yuB3Ko
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.499Please respect copyright.PENANAcxVQRuueTb
499Please respect copyright.PENANAwiweFDMDBC
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANAX5CuAc2IzA
499Please respect copyright.PENANAN7K1rim1tD
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANAvxY8Z78PUx
499Please respect copyright.PENANA2pDC42Y208
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."499Please respect copyright.PENANADLpnaRKx2I
499Please respect copyright.PENANAUEYFDxo57y
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.499Please respect copyright.PENANARnQx37zmkn
499Please respect copyright.PENANAazg8gGfYgE
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANA8VYmKnRnrD
499Please respect copyright.PENANAvDQzDFq3OW
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANAeM8aZ43o4i
499Please respect copyright.PENANA8ci3GTnUt9
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."499Please respect copyright.PENANAJpQwH9Hb1S
499Please respect copyright.PENANAlUnqkUOGOt
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.499Please respect copyright.PENANALH0MM96yk8
499Please respect copyright.PENANAgmwxC0ZzGM
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.499Please respect copyright.PENANAR37VXysGZV
499Please respect copyright.PENANAojIyaHlP26
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.499Please respect copyright.PENANAmVS5Fn98k3
499Please respect copyright.PENANAVW3DAulaJz
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANA7oe1aMCN11
499Please respect copyright.PENANANOm0WzUMJa
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."499Please respect copyright.PENANA3aBrpf5hBa
499Please respect copyright.PENANAdT40MVtCBn
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.499Please respect copyright.PENANAxupNUnmL69
499Please respect copyright.PENANAKbSFcDLgFL
"Sometimes I think you cheat."499Please respect copyright.PENANAEOl4wnO5Zn
499Please respect copyright.PENANAF9xjCCPd6v
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANATIvFomCYMS
499Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0IDiUbBRW
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."499Please respect copyright.PENANApldLhfMukQ
499Please respect copyright.PENANAVgu578ST7Y
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.499Please respect copyright.PENANACeepKJFDoQ
499Please respect copyright.PENANAnevpNHKZGG
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.499Please respect copyright.PENANAYvWMETtMff
499Please respect copyright.PENANAoD0jEHorc6
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.499Please respect copyright.PENANAecvP4Gdmlg
499Please respect copyright.PENANAZHusSUG09D
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANA9VIKY0nDJt
499Please respect copyright.PENANAWakdQRnxfr
"I better go give them a call, then."499Please respect copyright.PENANA9dgufbTlmr
499Please respect copyright.PENANANPejPtH0jy
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAWckFgGYXWm
499Please respect copyright.PENANAxsznfDgOmu
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAW7L96tKZO8
499Please respect copyright.PENANA0NkTAbDcnW
"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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAFUzPgtoKKG
499Please respect copyright.PENANAid33qqplu1
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAxWRPuIHlpA
499Please respect copyright.PENANAHpr7ZzwKBh
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANA1x3ApxgtyA
499Please respect copyright.PENANAoYBPZO9BQh
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?499Please respect copyright.PENANAOLNWKGFqe0
499Please respect copyright.PENANAe4sRvbP3vB
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3OuqAvoDv
499Please respect copyright.PENANAtrQrXhX7Ba
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.499Please respect copyright.PENANAqAtQP1Y6IA
499Please respect copyright.PENANAEEHfPBCO8n
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANAKDu4jJHApX
499Please respect copyright.PENANACqr83YpXr0
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."499Please respect copyright.PENANAexlcyGR3ef
499Please respect copyright.PENANAr10lqTAM8p
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAocPD04TAKO
499Please respect copyright.PENANAWprqVhGWAv
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAebbgvrQEvb
499Please respect copyright.PENANA8N6dvFe6WV
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANAWB8TYKaKLX
499Please respect copyright.PENANAJswJPqpMUS
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANAj1Nzrxbm36
499Please respect copyright.PENANAlgkFR3GBY2
"Ya, sure."499Please respect copyright.PENANAqR6OWEapRd
499Please respect copyright.PENANAq18UGht5gc
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAJkOgZNdYK5
499Please respect copyright.PENANAcy1T58YAwt
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.499Please respect copyright.PENANAibQl3N5ODJ
499Please respect copyright.PENANAiVBsgNrEEB
"Anything?" Zoey asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANAJDpEvEjdDV
499Please respect copyright.PENANAoqgWVuIUfF
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANAn5sq9Le6ih
499Please respect copyright.PENANALkco9DbKoo
"Okay, well, we can wait."499Please respect copyright.PENANABTdmLsPqN9
499Please respect copyright.PENANAj2R319Rg4Z
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."499Please respect copyright.PENANAEF1ZlbYbUz
499Please respect copyright.PENANATOq3ZynamW
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."499Please respect copyright.PENANA7cNRwlyb4g
499Please respect copyright.PENANAyeOoUZpx7V
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."499Please respect copyright.PENANADhgI58GKi2
499Please respect copyright.PENANAKNMQjoBXbh
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."499Please respect copyright.PENANAjG75zbSOlX
499Please respect copyright.PENANA8fPJrEud4s
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."499Please respect copyright.PENANA1JuBJ2D9ag
499Please respect copyright.PENANAgU1qIzcxz6
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.499Please respect copyright.PENANA39MNDaRe8J
499Please respect copyright.PENANAGaSzdjhZ6T
"We can't work on the song without them."499Please respect copyright.PENANAF3ReWORIvM
499Please respect copyright.PENANAYpqHZzIkQk
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."499Please respect copyright.PENANAVWH0gQ64FV
499Please respect copyright.PENANA58YOvR1aDb
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANAffSTZJWqu0
499Please respect copyright.PENANABZJZV0tCeY
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."499Please respect copyright.PENANALxcct9sBS7
499Please respect copyright.PENANASAaD5lEp4l
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.499Please respect copyright.PENANAKkWg3b7QWw
499Please respect copyright.PENANAUaH6BdBBOZ
"Then get your guitar and notebook."499Please respect copyright.PENANAmTlNzJ23fp
499Please respect copyright.PENANAc87SuCoUkg
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."499Please respect copyright.PENANAWKDdlgHF8F
499Please respect copyright.PENANAHpKDCY1vQW
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"499Please respect copyright.PENANA6Q9NcIiP4a
499Please respect copyright.PENANA2jT6xU47Dp
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."499Please respect copyright.PENANAD3owSvU8dI
499Please respect copyright.PENANAOjqdSyDeI1
"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.499Please respect copyright.PENANACHVlC8tluj
499Please respect copyright.PENANAq64ke9WITY
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANA2PQwHaqiWA
499Please respect copyright.PENANA48GazLFrZT
"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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAyKKkcc4Nsm
499Please respect copyright.PENANApmwWRx2asf
"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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAxFU5LwpWbZ
499Please respect copyright.PENANADQh9BPQPfU
"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?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAisUkMNDOF4
499Please respect copyright.PENANAwTg63P0I0L
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.499Please respect copyright.PENANA9Mvf8AQtCl
499Please respect copyright.PENANABNbYrdr2an
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."499Please respect copyright.PENANAxIx26M38te
499Please respect copyright.PENANAofxVS1pgMb
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.499Please respect copyright.PENANA2Iob3uWql0
499Please respect copyright.PENANApk0i0I6qOH
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.499Please respect copyright.PENANAsT0rtUC8iz
499Please respect copyright.PENANApsVNVexDFS
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.499Please respect copyright.PENANAWXRGEE2wHB
499Please respect copyright.PENANAov1nlMZ2iu
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.499Please respect copyright.PENANAh3Ajum9dx4
499Please respect copyright.PENANAwrVsennyeP
"Yes, really," I answered.499Please respect copyright.PENANAr7phF2x1BR
499Please respect copyright.PENANAJQnPHnibGm
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANAW3F3Po3Mdc
499Please respect copyright.PENANAQB5Sj4DwGw
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."499Please respect copyright.PENANABsAD6mYmR4
499Please respect copyright.PENANAck7OpbRVSd
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.499Please respect copyright.PENANA3YYaGfHQnz
499Please respect copyright.PENANAuMZIuJaiqF
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.499Please respect copyright.PENANAJWa0XN9cqy
499Please respect copyright.PENANArZuzTCU6xs
"What went well?" Lee asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANADnhMuhZHlc
499Please respect copyright.PENANATsN54xXgCc
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.499Please respect copyright.PENANAxEOpxD4OpH
499Please respect copyright.PENANAAtW0OJEK47
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAIvc3WmV71t
499Please respect copyright.PENANAkLrZTRTD2J
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAkNAmhZFudk
499Please respect copyright.PENANAusgf1XAQgn
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.499Please respect copyright.PENANAMowN4h2oGZ
499Please respect copyright.PENANA76A131Elt4
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."499Please respect copyright.PENANAg7dz5kKLNc
499Please respect copyright.PENANAz1uiVgSfd5
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.499Please respect copyright.PENANATLC16DjXeE
499Please respect copyright.PENANAc2sdFtvjBf
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANAIuAngH9Eyi
499Please respect copyright.PENANA4qk1dTEhcx
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.499Please respect copyright.PENANAY59tkhAHsx
499Please respect copyright.PENANAyrgUUHVmwA
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.499Please respect copyright.PENANATdOzPfrJbW
499Please respect copyright.PENANAybOAn3FYhU
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.499Please respect copyright.PENANA5rFY6sYbUL
499Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6ic2PMJ1Q
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.499Please respect copyright.PENANAhAYfu6WrBV
499Please respect copyright.PENANAmnHis3hnmO
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAiv7L7GfhpF
499Please respect copyright.PENANAkh5mTL6BIG
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.499Please respect copyright.PENANA8EvJ1QGoAJ
499Please respect copyright.PENANAI9XGIe4dLR
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANA2hKlMiYGdt
499Please respect copyright.PENANAqcJlAHpGBs
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.499Please respect copyright.PENANAgSH6aIHbZc
499Please respect copyright.PENANAXWcBNQyUdi
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."499Please respect copyright.PENANAPU98XThGY0
499Please respect copyright.PENANAyPuVpR2Q5X
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"499Please respect copyright.PENANAaSr6BhA0Wh
499Please respect copyright.PENANAlwbsCs6Dvm
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAcZMVxLtmVP
499Please respect copyright.PENANAuoWAa7kn82
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAjwrTDqeZqT
499Please respect copyright.PENANAUx0rDb1dGg
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."499Please respect copyright.PENANAHRtXF0l4iX
499Please respect copyright.PENANAHkqGdtRJyD
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.499Please respect copyright.PENANAsDICld0ntT
499Please respect copyright.PENANAA4isO9NJ1e
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."499Please respect copyright.PENANA74PDUpzTeI
499Please respect copyright.PENANASm8D7G813L
"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?"499Please respect copyright.PENANA3tP873nnU9
499Please respect copyright.PENANAAsJ9QwJRh8
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.499Please respect copyright.PENANALuNDZ0vA2G
499Please respect copyright.PENANADCDUpv91I3
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.499Please respect copyright.PENANAaIP9WY6VQv
499Please respect copyright.PENANA7RWqt4bDIR
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"499Please respect copyright.PENANA2W7qX5YlCc
499Please respect copyright.PENANAojGdcthrhW
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.499Please respect copyright.PENANA3B6wnxHJNI
499Please respect copyright.PENANA6TjBzNXYWU
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.499Please respect copyright.PENANA6nEArf9jxm
499Please respect copyright.PENANAXCRmI6xa57
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANAhkefXMiE3S
499Please respect copyright.PENANArKhFfxrMDp
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.499Please respect copyright.PENANA9vQgbmCHrr
499Please respect copyright.PENANACwiyzpcKpH
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAhFq372AMfD
499Please respect copyright.PENANAvgX2j8KcmL
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAGcmaZbcjU1
499Please respect copyright.PENANAzJdAJgLr8D
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANADGKZgSHSTD
499Please respect copyright.PENANAZO0XyDIjIz
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANAhvjjlmvyvL
499Please respect copyright.PENANAchNcAaxZGK
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANAw6vg8Ot6Tj
499Please respect copyright.PENANArHm2Rg7SsC
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."499Please respect copyright.PENANAuo9s1EKSWa
499Please respect copyright.PENANAxHttGaZMFx
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."499Please respect copyright.PENANAZTDEPvF9jE
499Please respect copyright.PENANAUTtDF0ZTYa
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.499Please respect copyright.PENANAVdrfP04zcH
499Please respect copyright.PENANAzasYYJskpb
"What is it?" Christine asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANA5erwM7bs8s
499Please respect copyright.PENANAJoSsiO97WD
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.499Please respect copyright.PENANAA0McxbtNnq

"He's here," I said.499Please respect copyright.PENANA08SnAj6nFr
499Please respect copyright.PENANADqAlbEGZdo
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAMcU0Z2jVbL
499Please respect copyright.PENANAUukTizx34Z
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.499Please respect copyright.PENANA49ENXVfNaQ
499Please respect copyright.PENANAT9pEkr5yaT
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.499Please respect copyright.PENANAhPf8wEvBz9
499Please respect copyright.PENANASRIdLuSZff
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.499Please respect copyright.PENANAXGkoMm9OC5
499Please respect copyright.PENANAE9iyE05ddA
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"499Please respect copyright.PENANA0qapZGxyAI
499Please respect copyright.PENANAISK2QVajOO
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.499Please respect copyright.PENANAUlJXuZP8ht
499Please respect copyright.PENANA8irYQcyMvS
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."499Please respect copyright.PENANA9tBHmRxmDB
499Please respect copyright.PENANANQWEVHjxDW
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANAXoyWCa29YI
499Please respect copyright.PENANAT5DaznpaVP
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.499Please respect copyright.PENANAlo0oehkjSm
499Please respect copyright.PENANARIHKBwFOBo
"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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAmhdW6UG0jV
499Please respect copyright.PENANAqk1D5Qo4bL
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.499Please respect copyright.PENANATzwfMcDL4j
499Please respect copyright.PENANA7MYvkbbWio
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.499Please respect copyright.PENANAWNBN8Id44l
499Please respect copyright.PENANAGj05ylL8TC
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."499Please respect copyright.PENANAZdOBPITaLK
499Please respect copyright.PENANADUXbCiSSjH
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAYNQYkK7HkS
499Please respect copyright.PENANAVpILFvOEB5
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANA1hTz16Dgp5
499Please respect copyright.PENANA019vif9KPk
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.499Please respect copyright.PENANAwhmEkDD36l
499Please respect copyright.PENANAVLxOr9LWrQ
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.499Please respect copyright.PENANAGFmMeDh3hD
499Please respect copyright.PENANATbUGMwkliX
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAxSWQEhWFsT
499Please respect copyright.PENANAQJFdpBwqpi
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.499Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6jWLjmLNx
499Please respect copyright.PENANAPVSNz27elD
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."499Please respect copyright.PENANABqBLNdzc99
499Please respect copyright.PENANAboeLjeY1eU
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."499Please respect copyright.PENANAANnw9peDLK
499Please respect copyright.PENANA5NbQXoOALT
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANAW2YHkfsTPF
499Please respect copyright.PENANACOsb801Rbs
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."499Please respect copyright.PENANAisJT39nARq
499Please respect copyright.PENANAMcZYBAXcTp
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.499Please respect copyright.PENANA0hgaqXASJ5
499Please respect copyright.PENANAq6RIxcRpGb
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.499Please respect copyright.PENANAQBw2h7ULYR
499Please respect copyright.PENANA1ajNnFMAlL
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....499Please respect copyright.PENANAeT8AFkmAHv
499Please respect copyright.PENANA1H32Pe0fix
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."499Please respect copyright.PENANAbcRyUhITOl
499Please respect copyright.PENANAUvETQF0Xs1
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAc6qJwzGAln
499Please respect copyright.PENANAstBrmsz9W9
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANAHYUejVmqll
499Please respect copyright.PENANA9vgy3wwdP9
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."499Please respect copyright.PENANAQFeqglTc8A
499Please respect copyright.PENANAlFu0CCjPWM
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.499Please respect copyright.PENANAz6fkZwB2v4
499Please respect copyright.PENANALtsqDD82Gj
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANARvc0ANbUpD
499Please respect copyright.PENANAiNEZHgJJaz
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."499Please respect copyright.PENANAX2FDsDfu73
499Please respect copyright.PENANA5VU4Be100p
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANAqEzkc2QmnW
499Please respect copyright.PENANAlNAiqtfUSj
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAyHF3rXF3MB
499Please respect copyright.PENANANBytjteZqc
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"499Please respect copyright.PENANALHFDOgR0nd
499Please respect copyright.PENANAISmKoi9yYE
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANAL5DWpgoLPb
499Please respect copyright.PENANAdkk25j3CEl
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.499Please respect copyright.PENANA2nDRytBURZ
499Please respect copyright.PENANAAPF28L7qzw
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."499Please respect copyright.PENANAqLoUMZZmMB
499Please respect copyright.PENANAZkVJuxLJul
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.499Please respect copyright.PENANATtu3uuhKaV
499Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2lnS2FY2u
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANAGLM5MHUqS3
499Please respect copyright.PENANABkLXxjqBTf
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.499Please respect copyright.PENANAsS106dMBDX
499Please respect copyright.PENANAGn8L2ocp2C
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.499Please respect copyright.PENANAx35mwi45a9
499Please respect copyright.PENANADLulcxouos
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAEcrdlKvY71
499Please respect copyright.PENANAKjgYDOqMYV
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANA53nwUtYJpM
499Please respect copyright.PENANApHD956O3SG
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.499Please respect copyright.PENANAWkX5q3jUl8
499Please respect copyright.PENANAmftmFjDWTm
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."499Please respect copyright.PENANASj3j7DleFk
499Please respect copyright.PENANAkqXkGec3IK
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANA3E9PZZTRch
499Please respect copyright.PENANA95tPSdAN8o
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAVSeyvO0HxQ
499Please respect copyright.PENANAPPcZul4PRW
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.499Please respect copyright.PENANAdeMVnX2iUL
499Please respect copyright.PENANAqzAlyB57iQ
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANA12skMfnePr
499Please respect copyright.PENANAYrSOkH3iO6
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."499Please respect copyright.PENANAVuZ6s7Wmrc
499Please respect copyright.PENANAfh8Zidw2S9
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAJkBUK0NJCX
499Please respect copyright.PENANAUi1Uxg7k1A
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."499Please respect copyright.PENANAFpQgdngIOB
499Please respect copyright.PENANANLw4NInIju
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."499Please respect copyright.PENANAwSKSGtLzvH
499Please respect copyright.PENANAHhsIVlsNTq
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..."499Please respect copyright.PENANAoEldzOcJ51
499Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2GOlcnDiR
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAti2rAWtwWz
499Please respect copyright.PENANAVklEpFuOzs
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.499Please respect copyright.PENANAW7ZCXK9abF
499Please respect copyright.PENANALx1hS5IVU0
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.499Please respect copyright.PENANAagdC8SP74U
499Please respect copyright.PENANAKZe6iI8hKi
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.499Please respect copyright.PENANAYyiAJscIKJ
499Please respect copyright.PENANAK51NHMujFf
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.499Please respect copyright.PENANAuTpnWLMsb5
499Please respect copyright.PENANAsFrpYnV5Ix
"I can't believe it" she said.499Please respect copyright.PENANAISV3qiC6gp
499Please respect copyright.PENANARnOdHG843o
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.499Please respect copyright.PENANAllnIMaQAyx
499Please respect copyright.PENANA0lJ4ykBWyU
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.499Please respect copyright.PENANAHMEdy4Cbxg
499Please respect copyright.PENANADFOxHMMhjf
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.499Please respect copyright.PENANArAwEQDA7oK
499Please respect copyright.PENANA6u7jOQ4FnJ
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.499Please respect copyright.PENANAPV8oyNHZGU
499Please respect copyright.PENANAL7QuO4ndDS
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAB2TklSzxqW
499Please respect copyright.PENANAk0eK7rkxLL
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAWA6f8uwPoA
499Please respect copyright.PENANAYezVtI3VRv
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:499Please respect copyright.PENANAdYAvKLvbJv
499Please respect copyright.PENANAi9wHOm7JoR
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.499Please respect copyright.PENANAxCBYM2wgQd
499Please respect copyright.PENANAbT342f9nhv
"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.499Please respect copyright.PENANA3J6p9ekdO4
499Please respect copyright.PENANAU1qEryvzmU
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAs5w0mt4K5X
499Please respect copyright.PENANAniMcoCtape
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."499Please respect copyright.PENANAZuSrrVW4Fw
499Please respect copyright.PENANAfr633v5ryS
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.499Please respect copyright.PENANAQUyuIGeJsk
499Please respect copyright.PENANAu7hcmTxdey
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.499Please respect copyright.PENANAvwu4yDFOsV
499Please respect copyright.PENANAdtkyFfzA48
"He seems pretty cool."499Please respect copyright.PENANAL6Hw7ne4YV
499Please respect copyright.PENANAXm3EZqrwd3
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.499Please respect copyright.PENANAVOErlXiSt8
499Please respect copyright.PENANAJUa9ItTbJ2
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANAlTkolENjY7
499Please respect copyright.PENANAFIVqh6p5Gx
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."499Please respect copyright.PENANAG6zRdYxstU
499Please respect copyright.PENANA5pZPTBTe50
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.499Please respect copyright.PENANA1lCi6YQWqz
499Please respect copyright.PENANAcgW5WmiMQU
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."499Please respect copyright.PENANAkriSl593Lm
499Please respect copyright.PENANALzaKrnsFki
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANALOFtayPii8
499Please respect copyright.PENANA2tQ5PhZKHY
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.499Please respect copyright.PENANAq85McsYigh
499Please respect copyright.PENANAblgbnfwyrI
"This 'Johnny' thing?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAM9ocru94lm
499Please respect copyright.PENANA6ws1yw9WFQ
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.499Please respect copyright.PENANAEcE3TvZRIF
499Please respect copyright.PENANA7QMbynaYA7
"Why would we?" I asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANA8gQmkf8PB2
499Please respect copyright.PENANATVnlnDLhiB
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."499Please respect copyright.PENANAd2luPidNVr
499Please respect copyright.PENANAPaImhg2add
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."499Please respect copyright.PENANAXoG2xTZcc1
499Please respect copyright.PENANAUfn6x9PStg
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."499Please respect copyright.PENANALp6gCfoJ1E
499Please respect copyright.PENANAOwZeuR263T
"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?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAoY0jlP3R06
499Please respect copyright.PENANAPxwal28BxM
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.499Please respect copyright.PENANAJB6wW7SV4d
499Please respect copyright.PENANAe58GKn9Vzq
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANAOYBWQlbJyN
499Please respect copyright.PENANAr8xcHiKkx5
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."499Please respect copyright.PENANAqMC3XWKjnU
499Please respect copyright.PENANAi4EKylzr6E
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAioH2MrukRU
499Please respect copyright.PENANAheiFARdTi2
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.499Please respect copyright.PENANAcn04qkBjtm
499Please respect copyright.PENANALlTXQroZF7
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."499Please respect copyright.PENANAo28Wj9qtkE
499Please respect copyright.PENANAOS2dKicfVz
"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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAvfdixPfu4A
499Please respect copyright.PENANAZUV3rAnq1U
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.499Please respect copyright.PENANAHjYoxJxELs
499Please respect copyright.PENANAyST6PeqNSF
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.499Please respect copyright.PENANAllSijHlIAp
499Please respect copyright.PENANArJ6zeiw9Ip
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.499Please respect copyright.PENANAejFXMLNvdT
499Please respect copyright.PENANAHIl2oeV67x
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.499Please respect copyright.PENANAhLBMA7ofTf
499Please respect copyright.PENANA2B7u3TlGex
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."499Please respect copyright.PENANApKm3wIcnAO
499Please respect copyright.PENANArRpff0fXKU
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.499Please respect copyright.PENANAIoXjCSjVL5
499Please respect copyright.PENANAiGSs3wZYbm
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.499Please respect copyright.PENANA6VmAlJ82V4
499Please respect copyright.PENANAs2c8qWP2DA
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANAW1Tm05ICSi
499Please respect copyright.PENANAwtpxVnvI3A
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."499Please respect copyright.PENANAqBGqgSOz7k
499Please respect copyright.PENANAgrlTbzzpPr
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAIol0PKl5vH
499Please respect copyright.PENANApLqCahkYN1
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."499Please respect copyright.PENANAoCEV7MH6yK
499Please respect copyright.PENANAETBaN81ezx
"Really?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAyz4UbPAMzg
499Please respect copyright.PENANA2sqqOjCsFL
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAxIxqcpTMiS
499Please respect copyright.PENANACxd3bbmTMN
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."499Please respect copyright.PENANAbl4H3vat5L
499Please respect copyright.PENANAinh3LRYVne
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."499Please respect copyright.PENANAGOxfHgasfm
499Please respect copyright.PENANAR0ccYQPnJz
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.499Please respect copyright.PENANAgV673Pc1lM
499Please respect copyright.PENANAdClILLieX6
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."499Please respect copyright.PENANAF5USFtxJ5Q
499Please respect copyright.PENANACEWNpYnAbo
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANA657Rd993jm
499Please respect copyright.PENANAnDMZOiKRLf
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.499Please respect copyright.PENANAw7PgLlfiRW
499Please respect copyright.PENANA2V3Z9XO9Nu
"Ya, you too," I answered as I smiled back.499Please respect copyright.PENANAVbPdlg2Dwb
499Please respect copyright.PENANARiTTt2DIsI
He turned and walked to the elevator. I stood there and watched him leave.499Please respect copyright.PENANAZtO8Z32Lvh
499Please respect copyright.PENANA8EQmbM4tBx
"Sam, get in here quick!" Zoey called out to me. "You have to see this!"499Please respect copyright.PENANA6ypqYWTfkX
499Please respect copyright.PENANAgOWUUpfRn7
I quickly went back into the lounge and took my seat next to Lee.499Please respect copyright.PENANAyOBRXR5iwX
499Please respect copyright.PENANAiPBxixGcDM
"This better be worth the call," I said as I looked at Lee's tablet.499Please respect copyright.PENANAHxgeUvNYPr
499Please respect copyright.PENANAPuoypbnKCw
"There was a dance video of Lisa and some girl," said Lee as she played the video for me.499Please respect copyright.PENANALDB2zp3MW9
499Please respect copyright.PENANAInn4xvVYPO
I watched Lisa and the young lady danced to a popular K-Pop song. There were people around that watched and cheered.499Please respect copyright.PENANAao1NvBIm55
499Please respect copyright.PENANAsUhOFU8DjY
"Well, that's cool," I said after the clip ended.499Please respect copyright.PENANAcOBacAcYKJ
499Please respect copyright.PENANAVyjbV7u2Hn
"These guys had a really good time," said Mike.499Please respect copyright.PENANAuGv0sitfDs
499Please respect copyright.PENANApeKd458hxe
"Ya, but with someone you consider your enemy," said Lee.499Please respect copyright.PENANArbtG1Umf1V
499Please respect copyright.PENANAL6GXSxwBzf
"Whatever," said Christine. "We're way past that. We just don't want any drama with him."499Please respect copyright.PENANAUmbv261d5F
499Please respect copyright.PENANAjknqwFp5wN
"That will be impossible since he got to hang out with G-Dragon, BlackPink and WINNER who happen to be your friends."499Please respect copyright.PENANAS3wb667k20
499Please respect copyright.PENANAGD8Q2qEcBH
"Ya, good point," said Daniel. "What do you think we should do?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAzkm32rXXQi
499Please respect copyright.PENANAiMotRMTOfO
"Do we really have to do anything?" Christine asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANAfbXtw8e3bb
499Please respect copyright.PENANAMv0Lj4R0WS
"Don't tell me you want to think of something like a battle strategy?" Lee asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANAai0n0GnuSo
499Please respect copyright.PENANAAosGDlamt5
"Why should we?" I asked. "We have a song to work on, remember? Johnny should be the least of our problems."499Please respect copyright.PENANAnv3uXAiii2
499Please respect copyright.PENANAwdiLpZlsgY
"Something tells me we are going to meet him sooner than we anticipated," said Zoey.499Please respect copyright.PENANAm0kh69rGjQ
499Please respect copyright.PENANAEaGi7ujMpK
