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?526Please respect copyright.PENANAiVLPY0umFP
526Please respect copyright.PENANAs7yK0Q4WmW
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.526Please respect copyright.PENANAhtDxHQRRIc
526Please respect copyright.PENANAAgMxcUo0B2
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.526Please respect copyright.PENANA2B7knndhgX
526Please respect copyright.PENANAcvXZ4x60mf
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.526Please respect copyright.PENANA9c3TwWFx9x
526Please respect copyright.PENANAD6TXrV7sqb
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.526Please respect copyright.PENANAdsmGLpfzoP
526Please respect copyright.PENANAXYLKCMxnJJ
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.526Please respect copyright.PENANAuytg3IvONh
526Please respect copyright.PENANAfWjHFQiKVa
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.526Please respect copyright.PENANARTnVdlRJJd
526Please respect copyright.PENANAQbA7kkkRzr
"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?"526Please respect copyright.PENANAGacWJwp4BS
526Please respect copyright.PENANAETo1nrNdVp
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."526Please respect copyright.PENANANAVBcm1tag
526Please respect copyright.PENANAX1lo0tm8r1
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.526Please respect copyright.PENANACECrogeLwa
526Please respect copyright.PENANA0NvqWmKddN
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.526Please respect copyright.PENANAetv2NJrx3c
526Please respect copyright.PENANARGDPU5Qxdg
"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.526Please respect copyright.PENANAPtDk7PukuX
526Please respect copyright.PENANA2p4ksKGO6M
"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."526Please respect copyright.PENANAFFOFPnAr03
526Please respect copyright.PENANA21UUX4U16J
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.526Please respect copyright.PENANAA5GXQwbt9f
526Please respect copyright.PENANAYHhu7qkvnI
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.526Please respect copyright.PENANAuuSaydIhXj
526Please respect copyright.PENANA15zOsRIULv
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.526Please respect copyright.PENANAbA4J8a2bVN
526Please respect copyright.PENANAonS2gvIg9V
"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."526Please respect copyright.PENANAn7JwIumPla
526Please respect copyright.PENANAwWOdTr6bmG
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.526Please respect copyright.PENANAETMR44Bere
526Please respect copyright.PENANAevnsLeN5u7
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."526Please respect copyright.PENANAcKY8ifAMPk
526Please respect copyright.PENANAA2zPvuLpDA
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.526Please respect copyright.PENANA1Mq0ncyrIt
526Please respect copyright.PENANAGaAT4AI9dT
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANAfEZ5P31SEw
526Please respect copyright.PENANAPOfXfUmDFi
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.526Please respect copyright.PENANAArNUe67FtD
526Please respect copyright.PENANA01k0cIzEKT
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."526Please respect copyright.PENANAcfIoLMeuQG
526Please respect copyright.PENANArdfxdTCrYp
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.526Please respect copyright.PENANABx6OudTNzz
526Please respect copyright.PENANAYEAU2UJkxD
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.526Please respect copyright.PENANAjiAJN1EXoJ
526Please respect copyright.PENANADuhWJNxCIh
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.526Please respect copyright.PENANAxbyjJzoXuy
526Please respect copyright.PENANA9PNkzJq6el
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANAeRKe2GtGVj
526Please respect copyright.PENANA4mokN4vsyv
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."526Please respect copyright.PENANAyyQpiMhuda
526Please respect copyright.PENANAKu9pCV8nhy
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.526Please respect copyright.PENANAxnnTqm8OBp
526Please respect copyright.PENANAfOtLyri45F
"Sometimes I think you cheat."526Please respect copyright.PENANA2EdIJ9YStP
526Please respect copyright.PENANASn1zv9h7Pe
"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."526Please respect copyright.PENANAWZOB3ty69G
526Please respect copyright.PENANAwNSlVrD7z8
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."526Please respect copyright.PENANAcmNhmLf34o
526Please respect copyright.PENANAtVpIzSdRre
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.526Please respect copyright.PENANAY1bG3U2lyf
526Please respect copyright.PENANADvMEO17nOz
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.526Please respect copyright.PENANARQTeIOgUSY
526Please respect copyright.PENANAsza1flJgLm
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.526Please respect copyright.PENANA2B58gvhXuc
526Please respect copyright.PENANAPBz2jLEkch
"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."526Please respect copyright.PENANADWLfaqs8CY
526Please respect copyright.PENANApNEI16n8ya
"I better go give them a call, then."526Please respect copyright.PENANAa689vsA6Dx
526Please respect copyright.PENANAanDcLi507L
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANAW3JjhBpSLp
526Please respect copyright.PENANAcHn2NSaJem
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANAKaCczzejPh
526Please respect copyright.PENANAVVYekls7pL
"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.526Please respect copyright.PENANA9zxr46x80q
526Please respect copyright.PENANAoxDXNZbgEx
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANA2dpvNH62i3
526Please respect copyright.PENANAEFA5JOophz
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANAyQLHA7h6Jn
526Please respect copyright.PENANAz1vVV9hMKz
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?526Please respect copyright.PENANA64hQS6HZjJ
526Please respect copyright.PENANA7izjIWQ8f7
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANAiZOiFlVCZc
526Please respect copyright.PENANAJvWlJhUcRp
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.526Please respect copyright.PENANADtMKNlgH0P
526Please respect copyright.PENANAVVBysMK98F
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.526Please respect copyright.PENANA0Xjm1WczHA
526Please respect copyright.PENANAT2GldkUlmS
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."526Please respect copyright.PENANACGOokWq9NY
526Please respect copyright.PENANA0Mt9RpAITU
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"526Please respect copyright.PENANAZkz2DAX6PP
526Please respect copyright.PENANAZMee9XbaF7
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"526Please respect copyright.PENANAFc9MRsG1NU
526Please respect copyright.PENANAbZbuhkToC0
"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."526Please respect copyright.PENANAHA49EbMjrL
526Please respect copyright.PENANAFCl1tlzbZX
"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."526Please respect copyright.PENANAG2KybjozNa
526Please respect copyright.PENANATRra3FVL6u
"Ya, sure."526Please respect copyright.PENANA0lpnadSi9B
526Please respect copyright.PENANArcsL0wiKXa
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANAQcGNgQL7L0
526Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZOVMcExl9
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.526Please respect copyright.PENANAD2iqpeIH8L
526Please respect copyright.PENANAy4HYqWXcEq
"Anything?" Zoey asked.526Please respect copyright.PENANAvFqqhnlnTz
526Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ3zdgFTxT
"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."526Please respect copyright.PENANAAihkpIgMEX
526Please respect copyright.PENANA1ciWpXjqAq
"Okay, well, we can wait."526Please respect copyright.PENANA4C2U8WJssY
526Please respect copyright.PENANAv9PcyVtjr8
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."526Please respect copyright.PENANAA2qiG2xekO
526Please respect copyright.PENANAl3QFP3MNnm
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."526Please respect copyright.PENANAmWzbysTRiN
526Please respect copyright.PENANA0RISIbU4vi
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."526Please respect copyright.PENANACx7SgwPgUn
526Please respect copyright.PENANAZLecSdWpZ5
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."526Please respect copyright.PENANALExuvQSHyT
526Please respect copyright.PENANAh7Pu9mFMJU
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."526Please respect copyright.PENANAcGUuEDwj5C
526Please respect copyright.PENANADX4b1Ij5C5
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.526Please respect copyright.PENANANVVc4uofX1
526Please respect copyright.PENANA9bEOpQGTN2
"We can't work on the song without them."526Please respect copyright.PENANAEKcPgPzY8d
526Please respect copyright.PENANAWN2wzpYO4X
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."526Please respect copyright.PENANArXifuS5H9P
526Please respect copyright.PENANAdIJx4gDt9N
"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."526Please respect copyright.PENANABJrnElKnaD
526Please respect copyright.PENANAybYyGr2D65
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."526Please respect copyright.PENANAK7pZKYzo7U
526Please respect copyright.PENANAKcABCBPijK
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.526Please respect copyright.PENANAyarCiZOwTj
526Please respect copyright.PENANASijed6YSAQ
"Then get your guitar and notebook."526Please respect copyright.PENANALxOqPJEzJV
526Please respect copyright.PENANAgmHnPAUWku
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."526Please respect copyright.PENANA0MBAqG7A4O
526Please respect copyright.PENANApTgLbnNddn
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"526Please respect copyright.PENANAXQmE8d7MHq
526Please respect copyright.PENANAzQZQeUfjng
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."526Please respect copyright.PENANAG5hOmloqYA
526Please respect copyright.PENANA9NKFgcmTZO
"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.526Please respect copyright.PENANAa0hFeKvHwD
526Please respect copyright.PENANAlPqhMZJyac
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANAtnT7fHu7hi
526Please respect copyright.PENANABpcvgqJJAp
"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.526Please respect copyright.PENANAFmnJJr2ZwF
526Please respect copyright.PENANAZhK4uFwght
"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.526Please respect copyright.PENANASpoPkefG6K
526Please respect copyright.PENANAkfhZy4Vk36
"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?"526Please respect copyright.PENANA4LtpeXAnin
526Please respect copyright.PENANAZi7ihViojB
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.526Please respect copyright.PENANAVKkcaKiIoZ
526Please respect copyright.PENANAn4Aro1gaBF
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."526Please respect copyright.PENANARSSsxlFNfc
526Please respect copyright.PENANASPftJLh6qK
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.526Please respect copyright.PENANAhlHGKbYjBU
526Please respect copyright.PENANAUu3WoIHVY2
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.526Please respect copyright.PENANArH7b9lGEUM
526Please respect copyright.PENANAeT97RtE8w1
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.526Please respect copyright.PENANAoifVhhZ5Ye
526Please respect copyright.PENANATBtLGW6rhe
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.526Please respect copyright.PENANAPsv0YV1RK6
526Please respect copyright.PENANAtr3bQM0flp
"Yes, really," I answered.526Please respect copyright.PENANAVBj17KADsO
526Please respect copyright.PENANAb6Q1RNTGm3
"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."526Please respect copyright.PENANAxgIDW0t2l0
526Please respect copyright.PENANAuaKQzRd8vl
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."526Please respect copyright.PENANAe3nvXu3Hop
526Please respect copyright.PENANAIURfiTECvJ
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.526Please respect copyright.PENANAGkhWj2qHRP
526Please respect copyright.PENANAUlrfDeVPIv
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.526Please respect copyright.PENANA24oL58JsaY
526Please respect copyright.PENANAA2aX60kMFH
"What went well?" Lee asked.526Please respect copyright.PENANAh6YDK4mXtX
526Please respect copyright.PENANAnNuD6U5z2J
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.526Please respect copyright.PENANAqx8bZcjCsR
526Please respect copyright.PENANALqLce0GB6H
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANA4VyWYgDpsW
526Please respect copyright.PENANAnYKQrFY7SY
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANA6wjT9tL8MG
526Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4icQKK7hD
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.526Please respect copyright.PENANA0Q25VAtzH1
526Please respect copyright.PENANAidZRHGqfiX
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."526Please respect copyright.PENANASxTuHsAavg
526Please respect copyright.PENANAv3ruY3nuub
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.526Please respect copyright.PENANAvpX5ol775K
526Please respect copyright.PENANASofNbcIE84
"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."526Please respect copyright.PENANA2kY16HwA89
526Please respect copyright.PENANAeK7WNq4i0R
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.526Please respect copyright.PENANAYMwqGckEsw
526Please respect copyright.PENANAqO1SOOpFLe
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.526Please respect copyright.PENANA7rSzjsY709
526Please respect copyright.PENANACiHI3hZxvX
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.526Please respect copyright.PENANA00nJuCohsL
526Please respect copyright.PENANA4L6kIGOStm
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.526Please respect copyright.PENANAECmWw2D1qv
526Please respect copyright.PENANAtLMHXsQ7ix
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANAUv5eBVHSOF
526Please respect copyright.PENANAMLijdfQSLn
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.526Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZIe7aQyt8
526Please respect copyright.PENANA540wLAl5T9
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.526Please respect copyright.PENANAm6DS2rykQM
526Please respect copyright.PENANALga6e9iaR5
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.526Please respect copyright.PENANADlZdyC4MXA
526Please respect copyright.PENANACehaQvfMZz
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."526Please respect copyright.PENANAFYFMdxsUT9
526Please respect copyright.PENANA25WkEEIeGO
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"526Please respect copyright.PENANAHAlD0JlSwu
526Please respect copyright.PENANAYvH7clsSfY
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANANbzcd5MkNh
526Please respect copyright.PENANAc6TdbO1SqH
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"526Please respect copyright.PENANAfTf0ylHg8N
526Please respect copyright.PENANAKZ9co926WR
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."526Please respect copyright.PENANAAWJTM70CEZ
526Please respect copyright.PENANACbaUNYdno9
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.526Please respect copyright.PENANAGYtf1H5kKa
526Please respect copyright.PENANAhu1kNFg0Uc
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."526Please respect copyright.PENANANM0G6OJ2Ah
526Please respect copyright.PENANAVHJj0hRnsE
"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?"526Please respect copyright.PENANAYWBc4Vyl64
526Please respect copyright.PENANAIihIcZHAsu
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.526Please respect copyright.PENANAdbsQUiykzB
526Please respect copyright.PENANAFvNnnPnJlJ
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.526Please respect copyright.PENANAlv6uMWb6Q3
526Please respect copyright.PENANAWHCKKGkynf
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"526Please respect copyright.PENANAPW2R3PS0Zw
526Please respect copyright.PENANAkau31VqSmH
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.526Please respect copyright.PENANA6rPytz3WBJ
526Please respect copyright.PENANAV7mlEoqK7E
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.526Please respect copyright.PENANAzzp8MbmV8C
526Please respect copyright.PENANAGs1OPZ1NDF
"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."526Please respect copyright.PENANAvb8y0LTjcb
526Please respect copyright.PENANAQSEhkoPpfw
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.526Please respect copyright.PENANAwQqthCQ9VF
526Please respect copyright.PENANAK4cYbHER3g
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"526Please respect copyright.PENANAG3cN7Eezoc
526Please respect copyright.PENANAXBfTR18P1y
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANAdG7ZDiLGV6
526Please respect copyright.PENANAj90ZMbE89i
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANAJmBpDazvZ9
526Please respect copyright.PENANAuK04ZrYvis
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.526Please respect copyright.PENANAZCR3R4Qoob
526Please respect copyright.PENANAFVB0FRfnon
"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."526Please respect copyright.PENANAoux0OwqBg4
526Please respect copyright.PENANAk6qhjPELli
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."526Please respect copyright.PENANABaHsmUwx08
526Please respect copyright.PENANABuUyiS1J6J
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."526Please respect copyright.PENANAayshqh9SiY
526Please respect copyright.PENANArObFwQQJtR
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.526Please respect copyright.PENANAOqRKr5FjwN
526Please respect copyright.PENANAUgzjLYw9DF
"What is it?" Christine asked.526Please respect copyright.PENANA9cY09HQfQw
526Please respect copyright.PENANAOrKeV3ILyX
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.526Please respect copyright.PENANA4p1thwrM3T
526Please respect copyright.PENANAbfVj6g3z03
"He's here," I said.526Please respect copyright.PENANAZlpvQqq85l
526Please respect copyright.PENANARbxei0Lxka
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"526Please respect copyright.PENANARTjMiP4Ybl
526Please respect copyright.PENANAD2k6ioubg4
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.526Please respect copyright.PENANAu71pu7zbym
526Please respect copyright.PENANA5gTI3lwAaG
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.526Please respect copyright.PENANAH8aaSOJVuG
526Please respect copyright.PENANAzRdMxbjzDq
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.526Please respect copyright.PENANAqYTFxf0FZJ
526Please respect copyright.PENANAVq367JtPFT
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"526Please respect copyright.PENANA0X9VkDwSmf
526Please respect copyright.PENANAtrO7VkodD2
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.526Please respect copyright.PENANALZdgfvWF8h
526Please respect copyright.PENANAoozxZM5gmm
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."526Please respect copyright.PENANAL7JC1YVrSf
526Please respect copyright.PENANAbwFBSDMdwh
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.526Please respect copyright.PENANAXk2NLaDQTC
526Please respect copyright.PENANAdqo5M9WfYa
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.526Please respect copyright.PENANAohdph7bU7Z
526Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6as2qHhm7
"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.526Please respect copyright.PENANATD4fiSay8Y
526Please respect copyright.PENANAqTIsCJGDbG
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.526Please respect copyright.PENANAaTNXE5lZ3e
526Please respect copyright.PENANAZPQLZYqy9h
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.526Please respect copyright.PENANAB2GB6RMHaS
526Please respect copyright.PENANAga7BkqmZWb
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."526Please respect copyright.PENANAdUHj5ETLdD
526Please respect copyright.PENANAP6bwwSKVVx
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANA9f78SZmXSe
526Please respect copyright.PENANAGz6uIuBXY2
"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."526Please respect copyright.PENANALkLPw9rPul
526Please respect copyright.PENANAHKnVDUH09X
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.526Please respect copyright.PENANAB48N5hMV2x
526Please respect copyright.PENANADnG7dcfAdd
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.526Please respect copyright.PENANAfYYNZIW8yH
526Please respect copyright.PENANAjR5qkYQIAV
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"526Please respect copyright.PENANAKzboLU9I5c
526Please respect copyright.PENANApidIYGDbiK
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.526Please respect copyright.PENANARyi1BxaDZd
526Please respect copyright.PENANA3n7MKgfVfR
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."526Please respect copyright.PENANAmzL9z7O23c
526Please respect copyright.PENANAHq0yhYN74B
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."526Please respect copyright.PENANA4VVjCNxds7
526Please respect copyright.PENANAUphmvRuQru
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.526Please respect copyright.PENANA58RMATQshA
526Please respect copyright.PENANA9ARVqG1p0J
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."526Please respect copyright.PENANAwbctNsa7O6
526Please respect copyright.PENANApSN7MthV2h
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.526Please respect copyright.PENANAy0KRpliQn7
526Please respect copyright.PENANALfEEfttEI4
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.526Please respect copyright.PENANA7d3FHhiqGU
526Please respect copyright.PENANALDiG5Rqp4L
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....526Please respect copyright.PENANAWi2xTnecEi
526Please respect copyright.PENANAgA0pr4Xc9L
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."526Please respect copyright.PENANAajOyXWy7NC
526Please respect copyright.PENANAgzausl3A4N
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"526Please respect copyright.PENANAWiIEUWcznE
526Please respect copyright.PENANA88FQIybKyt
"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."526Please respect copyright.PENANAPrd9h4C4uR
526Please respect copyright.PENANAXQKhcr3Obj
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."526Please respect copyright.PENANAfeW3B70Ad0
526Please respect copyright.PENANAR6XydHylpD
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.526Please respect copyright.PENANAVn24Ts1sbm
526Please respect copyright.PENANA0I1oD4qG4d
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.526Please respect copyright.PENANAaZGdAOxflF
526Please respect copyright.PENANAPdW9sjMibq
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."526Please respect copyright.PENANA4HmG9C0DVd
526Please respect copyright.PENANAVtV7Chwbmp
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.526Please respect copyright.PENANA1uIlZNi68s
526Please respect copyright.PENANAVbLLi7Y2Pd
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANA1viSXrKkE7
526Please respect copyright.PENANArx8UBUHAft
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"526Please respect copyright.PENANAVANM8lBuT9
526Please respect copyright.PENANAjLw57Dbwgq
"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."526Please respect copyright.PENANAekFSa09AAO
526Please respect copyright.PENANAvj2clLWnzO
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.526Please respect copyright.PENANAFuKcIobJv7
526Please respect copyright.PENANA1bRXOd9xvB
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."526Please respect copyright.PENANAKpC8QOxvxE
526Please respect copyright.PENANA99dIAsjQWz
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.526Please respect copyright.PENANAZsfr0Vhk6Y
526Please respect copyright.PENANA2HSTipzDP0
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.526Please respect copyright.PENANA8M9TT6Mt5O
526Please respect copyright.PENANAEH5ocHgNfI
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.526Please respect copyright.PENANA23PIWxITlm
526Please respect copyright.PENANANiG1g2KEQp
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.526Please respect copyright.PENANArmsLYWVjUh
526Please respect copyright.PENANAqsrLjNMHWs
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANAszA9gZMj05
526Please respect copyright.PENANA56di79yVtC
"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."526Please respect copyright.PENANA59N2CeXJva
526Please respect copyright.PENANA9LW4YMhIo9
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.526Please respect copyright.PENANAJbGRBnln9h
526Please respect copyright.PENANAA25ptSqMbq
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."526Please respect copyright.PENANA5nVoboZ9yX
526Please respect copyright.PENANAUUejaIYpnK
"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."526Please respect copyright.PENANAC4GzMfnOAi
526Please respect copyright.PENANArPchTlvmf8
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANA2W7oIvpnWG
526Please respect copyright.PENANA1hcfYEm04t
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.526Please respect copyright.PENANAVhWzDVEbcj
526Please respect copyright.PENANAe4hQu9ueZG
"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."526Please respect copyright.PENANAjegsiPKrjv
526Please respect copyright.PENANAq7RmV24etA
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."526Please respect copyright.PENANAT4JfzkbunT
526Please respect copyright.PENANAfz8X81w4hP
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"526Please respect copyright.PENANAtEB1N2VQHH
526Please respect copyright.PENANAJvXx3CU25F
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."526Please respect copyright.PENANAf88fQFRwzg
526Please respect copyright.PENANAvHOk6AZDSq
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."526Please respect copyright.PENANA8ekcxoaOcT
526Please respect copyright.PENANAScvf5uuDTh
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..."526Please respect copyright.PENANAStwANCtNF1
526Please respect copyright.PENANAMfOacP4RCx
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"526Please respect copyright.PENANAqE20wOtoGc
526Please respect copyright.PENANAF8XoeqQVcv
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.526Please respect copyright.PENANAOw4OqWV5Dd
526Please respect copyright.PENANARMeP3sFJLe
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.526Please respect copyright.PENANAwJ5HrJ8a3x
526Please respect copyright.PENANAQUKCms5V4n
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.526Please respect copyright.PENANAUpcpGAnDbN
526Please respect copyright.PENANAOavrIf0p4C
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.526Please respect copyright.PENANAiAQgfk4EG5
526Please respect copyright.PENANAAkjhatftNw
"I can't believe it" she said.526Please respect copyright.PENANAX2dRkMcbut
526Please respect copyright.PENANAIcFEcgTp3f
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.526Please respect copyright.PENANABVwqJQa4aD
526Please respect copyright.PENANAjTgJ0HiZKc
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.526Please respect copyright.PENANAeUqmX6VjVf
526Please respect copyright.PENANAmnYppG3FGe
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.526Please respect copyright.PENANASwXVfhmuvu
526Please respect copyright.PENANAvRuStvDEq1
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.526Please respect copyright.PENANALSCooYwJ8n
526Please respect copyright.PENANAWdDOFUJZ8J
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANA8VtA8YqhnP
526Please respect copyright.PENANAinkVG9H2Bj
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANAYAAGvD55cM
526Please respect copyright.PENANApHHdhCznlS
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:526Please respect copyright.PENANAnFh5ltgXHr
526Please respect copyright.PENANArksebNL2mi
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.526Please respect copyright.PENANAWz6CLUUfZ0
526Please respect copyright.PENANAAgobpVAxBG
"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.526Please respect copyright.PENANA9pUDqYq0KU
526Please respect copyright.PENANA49KwTA9ROo
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANACmGipWKK06
526Please respect copyright.PENANAL9hALCFoKt
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."526Please respect copyright.PENANAV3MYpVyboR
526Please respect copyright.PENANAixSLjh3UBz
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.526Please respect copyright.PENANAhtGyrxj2jf
526Please respect copyright.PENANAL5Ix4YaXkf
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.526Please respect copyright.PENANAnaEsGxpca8
526Please respect copyright.PENANAJA4tkN61wA
"He seems pretty cool."526Please respect copyright.PENANAWK4TnWwQLz
526Please respect copyright.PENANANRVyevFyXI
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.526Please respect copyright.PENANAgVzk4P6Sxc
526Please respect copyright.PENANAhaAz0Q14v9
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.526Please respect copyright.PENANAX4gwljRled
526Please respect copyright.PENANAzCwSh5zUpq
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."526Please respect copyright.PENANABfW7I6oA2r
526Please respect copyright.PENANATtI94rIIkL
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.526Please respect copyright.PENANAAd9JZizJ9b
526Please respect copyright.PENANAhrNHj6KDcy
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."526Please respect copyright.PENANASDXLBK2uVt
526Please respect copyright.PENANA6QLS1URCk7
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.526Please respect copyright.PENANADkoaChyJ8k
526Please respect copyright.PENANArzUncDrYaU
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.526Please respect copyright.PENANAqzq5LS2U2u
526Please respect copyright.PENANAg1TlcD9Bmm
"This 'Johnny' thing?"526Please respect copyright.PENANAUZPmmtdQfk
526Please respect copyright.PENANA3yrpenK7uW
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.526Please respect copyright.PENANA0Bl35cjx3Y
526Please respect copyright.PENANAfL70fsWTGR
"Why would we?" I asked.526Please respect copyright.PENANA6BY8qL4PKp
526Please respect copyright.PENANAhmSyIJR4Yy
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."526Please respect copyright.PENANAMFCm4ubaBR
526Please respect copyright.PENANA1lCVAqUHuZ
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."526Please respect copyright.PENANA2xxoKSeNT4
526Please respect copyright.PENANAkxBqYOA91s
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."526Please respect copyright.PENANAGwimgxyJ2F
526Please respect copyright.PENANAiigrkxXltD
"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?"526Please respect copyright.PENANAN1pz9I7Oft
526Please respect copyright.PENANAxboNIcs7Dt
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.526Please respect copyright.PENANAxG1D9IKqJK
526Please respect copyright.PENANAEICPS69X6D
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.526Please respect copyright.PENANA6xEuguLjDi
526Please respect copyright.PENANAUhQi5qK0a1
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."526Please respect copyright.PENANABLBITYsCsb
526Please respect copyright.PENANAgXLuSQCEJS
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANA58P5bmFTAk
526Please respect copyright.PENANAqq50Y06SUb
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.526Please respect copyright.PENANAtRx3iWm8oM
526Please respect copyright.PENANA5tUCVhqYE6
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."526Please respect copyright.PENANAPoPBybuapg
526Please respect copyright.PENANAbx3wqqqGsr
"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.526Please respect copyright.PENANAlcmugYuNYt
526Please respect copyright.PENANAqxFyV9PaZb
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.526Please respect copyright.PENANAt6lnZfpXUT
526Please respect copyright.PENANAVmIENTtSYK
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.526Please respect copyright.PENANAvSenVnYLvX
526Please respect copyright.PENANADtIslOsjy2
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.526Please respect copyright.PENANAxQpVYAugKY
526Please respect copyright.PENANAlso9QWdGi9
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.526Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7AliAvsZA
526Please respect copyright.PENANAe6i2vCF5Co
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."526Please respect copyright.PENANAAm6c5mWc9A
526Please respect copyright.PENANAp5TDFjPEz0
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.526Please respect copyright.PENANAXOw8lrugtW
526Please respect copyright.PENANA07gqmZqnfV
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.526Please respect copyright.PENANAg5hxyWMhhY
526Please respect copyright.PENANAyvlTznEhxA
"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."526Please respect copyright.PENANArvay1NWTkb
526Please respect copyright.PENANAWqsI65IaMM
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."526Please respect copyright.PENANAzOybaMJ8x7
526Please respect copyright.PENANAPiwEGqPiYE
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"526Please respect copyright.PENANA5wL3DeN4e2
526Please respect copyright.PENANAKGQA71kF95
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."526Please respect copyright.PENANA1kg9es2FFQ
526Please respect copyright.PENANABK0Ey13odQ
"Really?"526Please respect copyright.PENANAI2rJ75gFk0
526Please respect copyright.PENANAKvy4d94cc4
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"526Please respect copyright.PENANARi4dleetUr
526Please respect copyright.PENANAsNrQOH6X9r
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."526Please respect copyright.PENANAYpzvfCqJ8L
526Please respect copyright.PENANAhM1o4inzxp
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."526Please respect copyright.PENANADk8jnfJKAZ
526Please respect copyright.PENANApZrVvk5SM6
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.526Please respect copyright.PENANAU7fm8oWqJj
526Please respect copyright.PENANA3EFoPpjnd6
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."526Please respect copyright.PENANAGWx1PrWw7l
526Please respect copyright.PENANAPThJjC8W9C
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANAePRhyqQH5w
526Please respect copyright.PENANAAYftfKmA4F
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.526Please respect copyright.PENANAGShH2ZgjLJ
526Please respect copyright.PENANAPq5kHVt5oj
"Ya, you too," I answered as I smiled back.526Please respect copyright.PENANAAeM7YojG74
526Please respect copyright.PENANAzmleokvxv4
He turned and walked to the elevator. I stood there and watched him leave.526Please respect copyright.PENANAQUHGCPxf8d
526Please respect copyright.PENANALejHws8CeO
"Sam, get in here quick!" Zoey called out to me. "You have to see this!"526Please respect copyright.PENANAtLBQiCtuHY
526Please respect copyright.PENANAfo9jrsiFKO
I quickly went back into the lounge and took my seat next to Lee.526Please respect copyright.PENANASpAjDxGwW7
526Please respect copyright.PENANAiFULmxQmPZ
"This better be worth the call," I said as I looked at Lee's tablet.526Please respect copyright.PENANA5rKIgvLgMl
526Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5cMvQT16G
"There was a dance video of Lisa and some girl," said Lee as she played the video for me.526Please respect copyright.PENANAm1vkPyLFwh
526Please respect copyright.PENANAN6sdkzej64
I watched Lisa and the young lady danced to a popular K-Pop song. There were people around that watched and cheered.526Please respect copyright.PENANAKvw0lUQjZX
526Please respect copyright.PENANAZKYjAxFzmK
"Well, that's cool," I said after the clip ended.526Please respect copyright.PENANAnh63V0IgRE
526Please respect copyright.PENANAWlyB1wZOU0
"These guys had a really good time," said Mike.526Please respect copyright.PENANA0cpfw1ykHE
526Please respect copyright.PENANA505dTIojIi
"Ya, but with someone you consider your enemy," said Lee.526Please respect copyright.PENANAWCXUXW6Saf
526Please respect copyright.PENANAasMTtyo6hB
"Whatever," said Christine. "We're way past that. We just don't want any drama with him."526Please respect copyright.PENANANoEqeEXBLv
526Please respect copyright.PENANAzJamgRlQc8
"That will be impossible since he got to hang out with G-Dragon, BlackPink and WINNER who happen to be your friends."526Please respect copyright.PENANAol3iFnhVsV
526Please respect copyright.PENANA6ynX78CVBM
"Ya, good point," said Daniel. "What do you think we should do?"526Please respect copyright.PENANA9rTAvMMzyi
526Please respect copyright.PENANABswiDEAS4g
"Do we really have to do anything?" Christine asked.526Please respect copyright.PENANAXerUrFm38L
526Please respect copyright.PENANA698wEG14EQ
"Don't tell me you want to think of something like a battle strategy?" Lee asked.526Please respect copyright.PENANAYyMuIYzmaA
526Please respect copyright.PENANAKBvN1FrDMu
"Why should we?" I asked. "We have a song to work on, remember? Johnny should be the least of our problems."526Please respect copyright.PENANAs5nkY23fan
526Please respect copyright.PENANA6MJAo8hM1m
"Something tells me we are going to meet him sooner than we anticipated," said Zoey.526Please respect copyright.PENANAESOdOnYIfs
