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?914Please respect copyright.PENANAeMufPBh65P
914Please respect copyright.PENANAkOgAsdU8f5
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.914Please respect copyright.PENANA808jUWm99v
914Please respect copyright.PENANA56RkJ0rUxq
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.914Please respect copyright.PENANAglw6YYwAFM
914Please respect copyright.PENANAXGzPAOsTtV
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.914Please respect copyright.PENANAQRk0xHO5dq
914Please respect copyright.PENANAR8z6o332gv
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.914Please respect copyright.PENANAcUUB72GwOE
914Please respect copyright.PENANAWuFrgxMklT
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.914Please respect copyright.PENANAv3NqKZVIBm
914Please respect copyright.PENANAX9skYj8pRw
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.914Please respect copyright.PENANA0G073ggPo4
914Please respect copyright.PENANABjUpGjMgvw
"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?"914Please respect copyright.PENANAOsDwYuBBxH
914Please respect copyright.PENANAlz35nIQMPt
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."914Please respect copyright.PENANAhdHRtUchjc
914Please respect copyright.PENANANPirHhRwtF
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.914Please respect copyright.PENANAk2nyL2lOX0
914Please respect copyright.PENANA3IT4dq7Ujo
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.914Please respect copyright.PENANAZ64GIlVwdZ
914Please respect copyright.PENANAsKAaTmeLIO
"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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAcD7SSmlrWV
914Please respect copyright.PENANABNHXNtiaIe
"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."914Please respect copyright.PENANArkigSbTg5n
914Please respect copyright.PENANAN4XbQTm5qk
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.914Please respect copyright.PENANAURBdauoBPE
914Please respect copyright.PENANAu9zY09u9Q9
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.914Please respect copyright.PENANAfRZGnWPFbS
914Please respect copyright.PENANA7ROb6l6ld4
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.914Please respect copyright.PENANA07SxhJFGix
914Please respect copyright.PENANABlnVAQgkJT
"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."914Please respect copyright.PENANAvT585DzRgu
914Please respect copyright.PENANAnfZcTXfHYq
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.914Please respect copyright.PENANAISmLNh1wO3
914Please respect copyright.PENANAPSGbUCT3S2
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."914Please respect copyright.PENANAl15Z4fpISu
914Please respect copyright.PENANAfb6rHTCSn8
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.914Please respect copyright.PENANANn44mCh4Rn
914Please respect copyright.PENANA5Xwf8mdTBc
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANA5aoVt5zN0l
914Please respect copyright.PENANAhVcYjK9s8w
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.914Please respect copyright.PENANASk7LByRDYi
914Please respect copyright.PENANADuozGWCZLA
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."914Please respect copyright.PENANAG7b4nebEti
914Please respect copyright.PENANA35DV8KduCi
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.914Please respect copyright.PENANA937apjNEhO
914Please respect copyright.PENANAITmE1ZjNBB
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.914Please respect copyright.PENANAkagqxM9Nae
914Please respect copyright.PENANA2OvYLtWWjr
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.914Please respect copyright.PENANAUNkq6IBmfA
914Please respect copyright.PENANA0m5Tm340jt
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAjeQAuxa1oq
914Please respect copyright.PENANAUJ7JYD7Q1U
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."914Please respect copyright.PENANAwJo9jj7NQx
914Please respect copyright.PENANAuqtvtzLZVB
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.914Please respect copyright.PENANAXkqecAmgID
914Please respect copyright.PENANAADE65jIBZU
"Sometimes I think you cheat."914Please respect copyright.PENANAh71lfXtEZJ
914Please respect copyright.PENANAfGFJGI8BtQ
"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."914Please respect copyright.PENANA5X7SJqnOP5
914Please respect copyright.PENANAWUiZJN9vdg
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."914Please respect copyright.PENANAa39JPecfIy
914Please respect copyright.PENANASlrajvVi3I
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.914Please respect copyright.PENANAsXVFEJPX04
914Please respect copyright.PENANALMGsw1Kt7g
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.914Please respect copyright.PENANAUwhOkxZpQa
914Please respect copyright.PENANAbSDl71XiYQ
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.914Please respect copyright.PENANAT71mtWropr
914Please respect copyright.PENANABBtoBxbrXa
"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."914Please respect copyright.PENANAwdLUKSFngY
914Please respect copyright.PENANAEpxbWzmVd2
"I better go give them a call, then."914Please respect copyright.PENANAhjpNP0uuUU
914Please respect copyright.PENANAEKKjJlJIw6
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANA2RPZVUOLl1
914Please respect copyright.PENANAYSqjkLN1Yh
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAFRQjSC8P6G
914Please respect copyright.PENANAMNtpZTqK2f
"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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAyZVsOMXpF6
914Please respect copyright.PENANAC7DmSCYklK
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAfrpNU7FJ2q
914Please respect copyright.PENANAAcJ1DKweSV
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAlCvpZTBN7m
914Please respect copyright.PENANA87k3J6Cdic
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?914Please respect copyright.PENANAnJNWWQDnKt
914Please respect copyright.PENANAiSihhApunL
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAddijNziPyJ
914Please respect copyright.PENANAODlBxov6PS
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.914Please respect copyright.PENANAAlFJ3rwUwU
914Please respect copyright.PENANA3kTJ3RZZnj
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.914Please respect copyright.PENANARSQAVdQjI2
914Please respect copyright.PENANANrG84Udr0m
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."914Please respect copyright.PENANAhVY8Tq3AIx
914Please respect copyright.PENANAE7lMxqewDs
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"914Please respect copyright.PENANAFn8Q5UK5XH
914Please respect copyright.PENANAP49ikOhnrl
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"914Please respect copyright.PENANAiqhwJ02arq
914Please respect copyright.PENANA3kyMasGGci
"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."914Please respect copyright.PENANAipiYDDt1T9
914Please respect copyright.PENANAhzqzwuzHnF
"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."914Please respect copyright.PENANAe05EswbX1U
914Please respect copyright.PENANAEMYCOEtfRX
"Ya, sure."914Please respect copyright.PENANAgml5rAJmTa
914Please respect copyright.PENANABCWwYajuLJ
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANA95E3r4XR2j
914Please respect copyright.PENANAwNwmpR9DbA
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.914Please respect copyright.PENANABJQYC9I51b
914Please respect copyright.PENANA9vToBAnEb8
"Anything?" Zoey asked.914Please respect copyright.PENANAy9N8qe3AX2
914Please respect copyright.PENANAZZHdo5UIzx
"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."914Please respect copyright.PENANAoGzk4WWdSS
914Please respect copyright.PENANA3pMtbyaASP
"Okay, well, we can wait."914Please respect copyright.PENANAImB2O9PyWM
914Please respect copyright.PENANAE3scploQh1
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."914Please respect copyright.PENANAf3gfKXJrdM
914Please respect copyright.PENANASmAIEukthW
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."914Please respect copyright.PENANAOnb64ROOrO
914Please respect copyright.PENANAOGIvDhy1DU
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."914Please respect copyright.PENANAmrOuStipCY
914Please respect copyright.PENANAnLt0v8rQik
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."914Please respect copyright.PENANANeLjCszfbo
914Please respect copyright.PENANAvdlEZGQKMx
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."914Please respect copyright.PENANARzM8uOqTW3
914Please respect copyright.PENANAY7g9dKgY6L
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.914Please respect copyright.PENANADev95XyRu9
914Please respect copyright.PENANAyZM8X4ZIuo
"We can't work on the song without them."914Please respect copyright.PENANAsEW9QBpd9b
914Please respect copyright.PENANAT9zNJHDYD3
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."914Please respect copyright.PENANAFrSNVrzTgf
914Please respect copyright.PENANAKOUiCd6TR2
"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."914Please respect copyright.PENANAH789lvt8ay
914Please respect copyright.PENANAWPi9M4nCW1
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."914Please respect copyright.PENANABWbPC4vIjl
914Please respect copyright.PENANAdogH9airRu
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.914Please respect copyright.PENANAGgpOPycF2S
914Please respect copyright.PENANAPuUmnTjvOB
"Then get your guitar and notebook."914Please respect copyright.PENANACv0uIPjmYc
914Please respect copyright.PENANADoAizXCScq
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."914Please respect copyright.PENANAfjf55xpTwP
914Please respect copyright.PENANAnjJxmF7dXn
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"914Please respect copyright.PENANA9i3KXR4B3E
914Please respect copyright.PENANA20G7zF5osz
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."914Please respect copyright.PENANAZYaRvHvGXZ
914Please respect copyright.PENANAFhGRwfHTxr
"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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAQHevxgtrmO
914Please respect copyright.PENANAS56SY2kX6F
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANA0d0V0J7bxz
914Please respect copyright.PENANAx9HRg6hBTD
"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.914Please respect copyright.PENANADK2AvKOase
914Please respect copyright.PENANAzsQHbPBJWM
"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.914Please respect copyright.PENANA9nDXaZ3Jic
914Please respect copyright.PENANA0fnjUmVvTt
"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?"914Please respect copyright.PENANAI0YovRpVF7
914Please respect copyright.PENANAJnU1G9zUZv
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.914Please respect copyright.PENANAEvVFpiCYlM
914Please respect copyright.PENANAANAuHWTqy1
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."914Please respect copyright.PENANACYS0FrZJpP
914Please respect copyright.PENANAVKRsDGRe13
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.914Please respect copyright.PENANAiW8ImP5Iw0
914Please respect copyright.PENANAv7bGTVZVZo
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.914Please respect copyright.PENANAFlQlKA4cye
914Please respect copyright.PENANADS8lZYuWTl
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.914Please respect copyright.PENANARUcUoL4w4D
914Please respect copyright.PENANA1JuruLP5dO
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.914Please respect copyright.PENANApfIQWyDJ9r
914Please respect copyright.PENANAuSRe2z4mAg
"Yes, really," I answered.914Please respect copyright.PENANAHeCHRlngan
914Please respect copyright.PENANAE4AGLpjjf4
"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."914Please respect copyright.PENANAwEOglGNm34
914Please respect copyright.PENANAAMIA1GyKCJ
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."914Please respect copyright.PENANASt75eil3mN
914Please respect copyright.PENANAsvON8uBiVx
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.914Please respect copyright.PENANAqgQCzvOVqw
914Please respect copyright.PENANAwSxXbbrDmA
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.914Please respect copyright.PENANAXJtlOvJxdu
914Please respect copyright.PENANAZS3xDZIoqn
"What went well?" Lee asked.914Please respect copyright.PENANAd7KXcEMKAl
914Please respect copyright.PENANAcuyiMhJB17
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.914Please respect copyright.PENANAWARx7B76bg
914Please respect copyright.PENANA7QELGE6wve
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAf6FOWTYZT6
914Please respect copyright.PENANAfsDhsNXVPJ
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAuC48xfMcx1
914Please respect copyright.PENANAnjDjKgje0B
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.914Please respect copyright.PENANAAwSYRimXqD
914Please respect copyright.PENANA0JmgW2PynP
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."914Please respect copyright.PENANA5quq9RGPd9
914Please respect copyright.PENANA2ywVAHDHHo
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.914Please respect copyright.PENANAuvzrMT6aSr
914Please respect copyright.PENANASI1SNd6eWY
"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."914Please respect copyright.PENANAVChwQrrDA9
914Please respect copyright.PENANArjDwbLbBOi
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.914Please respect copyright.PENANAnY66GsutUz
914Please respect copyright.PENANAWVu2RRFBrB
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.914Please respect copyright.PENANAzftHuKJZ7o
914Please respect copyright.PENANAjp82ZOhJNf
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.914Please respect copyright.PENANA7L7U9wQCjB
914Please respect copyright.PENANAngQHq6BZK5
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.914Please respect copyright.PENANARlU14bKfdT
914Please respect copyright.PENANAosuVoLIEcG
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAPmzVrOEevn
914Please respect copyright.PENANAtriWQTNaE3
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.914Please respect copyright.PENANAfJ1FpVberJ
914Please respect copyright.PENANAt65McDpgg7
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.914Please respect copyright.PENANAdgWFzvuOOH
914Please respect copyright.PENANAwUC7acsHJx
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.914Please respect copyright.PENANAmVzi9HHuYZ
914Please respect copyright.PENANAifwqOuJqb8
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."914Please respect copyright.PENANAEhnqct0O1x
914Please respect copyright.PENANAnphsBxVc4L
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"914Please respect copyright.PENANAclONZhyzIc
914Please respect copyright.PENANADZdcZWrJnI
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAQY4RdjmYpf
914Please respect copyright.PENANAujOhEgc1RU
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"914Please respect copyright.PENANAOhNPp0xSrr
914Please respect copyright.PENANAcrLUWkdGEB
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."914Please respect copyright.PENANAjdSufBPvAA
914Please respect copyright.PENANAP3ra8I5RqS
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.914Please respect copyright.PENANAlHqZQuBkKT
914Please respect copyright.PENANAMdNxLtnKuy
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."914Please respect copyright.PENANAfSzA3hz9JJ
914Please respect copyright.PENANACoTQBZNSGO
"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?"914Please respect copyright.PENANArhskACCRrX
914Please respect copyright.PENANAFMrR08W1Li
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.914Please respect copyright.PENANA7X6tdXyfjO
914Please respect copyright.PENANAKSnQJz1FOk
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.914Please respect copyright.PENANAe6MAY66xWl
914Please respect copyright.PENANAaUhjQHgGfz
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"914Please respect copyright.PENANA712y7Mj0k0
914Please respect copyright.PENANAiBIFlHDOnw
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.914Please respect copyright.PENANA3IlFxVWFNa
914Please respect copyright.PENANAdACkkpYCXx
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.914Please respect copyright.PENANARV2vqjgD5A
914Please respect copyright.PENANAFnyZ0Oo3Vz
"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."914Please respect copyright.PENANAM765pwfWiK
914Please respect copyright.PENANA3RE1TvwNML
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.914Please respect copyright.PENANA1Drd7dttnR
914Please respect copyright.PENANAr4S1DCwxBW
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"914Please respect copyright.PENANADTtXHDojFk
914Please respect copyright.PENANAioeSNQn654
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAsNu6ezKqu7
914Please respect copyright.PENANA0wZnZUMOUK
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANABANXJ5e0bM
914Please respect copyright.PENANAzlmEjAKjTK
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.914Please respect copyright.PENANAo81k4n6pTg
914Please respect copyright.PENANAbFabNNvPPl
"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."914Please respect copyright.PENANAE2lekLeTRf
914Please respect copyright.PENANAMlkvW2e5Q8
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."914Please respect copyright.PENANA2c5eTNl1FD
914Please respect copyright.PENANAPt0xAwiVwy
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."914Please respect copyright.PENANAguo1N63MR8
914Please respect copyright.PENANA8j92JB6aa7
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.914Please respect copyright.PENANA1sQqPpmRt8
914Please respect copyright.PENANAVevyGup4iX
"What is it?" Christine asked.914Please respect copyright.PENANAVLh27R4jBl
914Please respect copyright.PENANAh7VC7nq3EV
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.914Please respect copyright.PENANAenHTAZKd2k

"He's here," I said.914Please respect copyright.PENANAty5HaiSbkM
914Please respect copyright.PENANAGD9Y7eP8cr
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"914Please respect copyright.PENANAD6stWhHQHH
914Please respect copyright.PENANAjhunCB76pt
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.914Please respect copyright.PENANACvgljjnsBH
914Please respect copyright.PENANAMJsdRVzbmZ
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.914Please respect copyright.PENANAhPpPwtr5RK
914Please respect copyright.PENANAq0amAdPD9F
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.914Please respect copyright.PENANA2IvGQldDTb
914Please respect copyright.PENANAyozrRF7nNJ
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"914Please respect copyright.PENANAdSfBd8Nc7c
914Please respect copyright.PENANAGvhlY4cdjL
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.914Please respect copyright.PENANAQEdoQEoIVi
914Please respect copyright.PENANAy1QBHkO84U
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."914Please respect copyright.PENANAop6wFlkby8
914Please respect copyright.PENANAAPX4jwkRi6
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.914Please respect copyright.PENANAFfbCP34L5Q
914Please respect copyright.PENANAUfEiDn65za
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.914Please respect copyright.PENANABSUu1QXHRP
914Please respect copyright.PENANAM6GH57AAUz
"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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAUCDz2iyPy8
914Please respect copyright.PENANAsRyrKn1SkU
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.914Please respect copyright.PENANAm4Q1aecJwc
914Please respect copyright.PENANAJZmWWp9Sim
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.914Please respect copyright.PENANAiGMwOL1jxm
914Please respect copyright.PENANA3wSXkcTbsP
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."914Please respect copyright.PENANABz3B9PyF9h
914Please respect copyright.PENANAslVCcM2TBg
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAMFren1mgtr
914Please respect copyright.PENANAITibn4XBq7
"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."914Please respect copyright.PENANAbFl1aTxU3x
914Please respect copyright.PENANAv21jbfgwDB
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.914Please respect copyright.PENANAR0Ws64s9Z6
914Please respect copyright.PENANA3TweArqBml
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.914Please respect copyright.PENANAsbMtQli5dr
914Please respect copyright.PENANAj9eMw1EojR
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"914Please respect copyright.PENANA1yQLAi68mY
914Please respect copyright.PENANAbuHgHyOuSt
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.914Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8ypBvmctG
914Please respect copyright.PENANAzBhooapKP8
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."914Please respect copyright.PENANATRuAHATC0C
914Please respect copyright.PENANAaoBtLGFvzY
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."914Please respect copyright.PENANAhm21h4ypGt
914Please respect copyright.PENANAX2HMdwaAC3
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.914Please respect copyright.PENANAjpMzwNrf7w
914Please respect copyright.PENANAV7JzyC3HYj
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."914Please respect copyright.PENANA8BpsXtKf4b
914Please respect copyright.PENANAbBfpHDsSNx
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.914Please respect copyright.PENANAk4Mzm4IXHX
914Please respect copyright.PENANAvCYZafEEIv
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.914Please respect copyright.PENANAWLUnnaHJtL
914Please respect copyright.PENANAV2zQA8SGR7
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....914Please respect copyright.PENANAlQo2ABHSaZ
914Please respect copyright.PENANAECUBzwJnZg
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."914Please respect copyright.PENANAyIs5tvqaKE
914Please respect copyright.PENANA4IAJI3DgWS
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"914Please respect copyright.PENANAofb67rWbQO
914Please respect copyright.PENANAXXRhLyAhQH
"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."914Please respect copyright.PENANAU6CpeZ8hvS
914Please respect copyright.PENANAVtP9vAOECL
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."914Please respect copyright.PENANAo4dUS9t6Jo
914Please respect copyright.PENANAnSppCcj0FS
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.914Please respect copyright.PENANAMoxxoGmNWz
914Please respect copyright.PENANAifPnil6xIV
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.914Please respect copyright.PENANAhqUAZw7ROp
914Please respect copyright.PENANACbekJ6fZMc
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."914Please respect copyright.PENANA9W5CCRKyzt
914Please respect copyright.PENANA0bJ4IGuiAu
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.914Please respect copyright.PENANASQjHpsFpeD
914Please respect copyright.PENANATZWhNnxtPW
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANA5fegOpD0Mr
914Please respect copyright.PENANAc80hz2OtlK
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"914Please respect copyright.PENANAsGuG5tJpHZ
914Please respect copyright.PENANAQOmmv3vkv4
"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."914Please respect copyright.PENANAPDOSmSgk6E
914Please respect copyright.PENANA6EFnRrAMDo
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.914Please respect copyright.PENANAPP8VVGz8aK
914Please respect copyright.PENANA5huvhSmEOx
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."914Please respect copyright.PENANAGUGf81b19J
914Please respect copyright.PENANAAFBnt7UPeY
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.914Please respect copyright.PENANAayDTEcgacp
914Please respect copyright.PENANAOVWuH9jzCN
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.914Please respect copyright.PENANAZgbTcakeI4
914Please respect copyright.PENANAokX6SzvaMu
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.914Please respect copyright.PENANA7imVnYN55W
914Please respect copyright.PENANAZRPO17CaYW
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.914Please respect copyright.PENANAhBUmUtc4Ui
914Please respect copyright.PENANACLrcgMl2Ye
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAtSYVTN9TqH
914Please respect copyright.PENANAE26vLyHVaq
"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."914Please respect copyright.PENANA7crn7tfICP
914Please respect copyright.PENANAy26P3efTup
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.914Please respect copyright.PENANAqjuZq6U8lU
914Please respect copyright.PENANAqAGRCIy1so
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."914Please respect copyright.PENANAhhgoKlmYnd
914Please respect copyright.PENANAa44WqiDCbg
"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."914Please respect copyright.PENANAoqVlqcu7Bb
914Please respect copyright.PENANAQtHDfNVuPs
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAYH0EoBiVpN
914Please respect copyright.PENANAnB9pF21wxA
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.914Please respect copyright.PENANADTAuTUAipd
914Please respect copyright.PENANAybddD39Uni
"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."914Please respect copyright.PENANAnhtI4PyZPM
914Please respect copyright.PENANAAqhdOMnXdy
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."914Please respect copyright.PENANACjgsuOCPeG
914Please respect copyright.PENANAhRa1BV0opV
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"914Please respect copyright.PENANAXr54Mk9C9n
914Please respect copyright.PENANALv3ICj6ECF
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."914Please respect copyright.PENANATm83sm1fSi
914Please respect copyright.PENANAj4QZOu8FS7
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."914Please respect copyright.PENANAt2wCG9pGRr
914Please respect copyright.PENANAXaS75BkTaz
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..."914Please respect copyright.PENANAe2UaW8Ddgc
914Please respect copyright.PENANAyIHR9FsDBb
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"914Please respect copyright.PENANASFO5UzTIEv
914Please respect copyright.PENANAZmfFvXoJ0S
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.914Please respect copyright.PENANANtTWcK1NuA
914Please respect copyright.PENANA1XrOn1vNJi
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.914Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y6ubiz8Z4
914Please respect copyright.PENANAKqkGD4BpI3
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.914Please respect copyright.PENANA3WIdJksdoA
914Please respect copyright.PENANAF2qGC7hJem
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.914Please respect copyright.PENANATYGVkleRzK
914Please respect copyright.PENANAKUqmnwh0zv
"I can't believe it" she said.914Please respect copyright.PENANAikcZBJmHIq
914Please respect copyright.PENANA2d48D8CvZU
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.914Please respect copyright.PENANAd5hbbVtodJ
914Please respect copyright.PENANAIsp0VV6qlc
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.914Please respect copyright.PENANAtFDkiUB6yb
914Please respect copyright.PENANAlNJhEp8M7H
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.914Please respect copyright.PENANA58XJ04OWTY
914Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1J0d84GHQ
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.914Please respect copyright.PENANAOX9W3nLb6k
914Please respect copyright.PENANAHNrP0wE74C
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAhIeby8NNmz
914Please respect copyright.PENANAZGeELzOQbo
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANApjcZ6AzdzW
914Please respect copyright.PENANAGf3j5bGdBB
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:914Please respect copyright.PENANAxZKKfBgmkD
914Please respect copyright.PENANAdeDyVp7xpd
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.914Please respect copyright.PENANAVdlg2Pq6Cg
914Please respect copyright.PENANAmU8coIH9mc
"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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAeimNfPlo3B
914Please respect copyright.PENANAJrywBDtRtB
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAjdJoeHWMnq
914Please respect copyright.PENANA9sRdlKDWrK
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."914Please respect copyright.PENANA6CFIIRAGL7
914Please respect copyright.PENANALoyTlz5IIy
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.914Please respect copyright.PENANACuNARDDf5n
914Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9Q98JZQ7S
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.914Please respect copyright.PENANAB0TSQAGKB5
914Please respect copyright.PENANAETCjOAhes0
"He seems pretty cool."914Please respect copyright.PENANApOTwdHMEYL
914Please respect copyright.PENANANmXFe9xN6r
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.914Please respect copyright.PENANARkE9jI7UmS
914Please respect copyright.PENANAn4X2C9Mrzk
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.914Please respect copyright.PENANAnTGVboANMi
914Please respect copyright.PENANAzoSIbstArn
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."914Please respect copyright.PENANAnURTD04MjR
914Please respect copyright.PENANAcHy9lbHuSN
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.914Please respect copyright.PENANAvJGR4o4VMf
914Please respect copyright.PENANAZVywRNKTbX
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."914Please respect copyright.PENANAtZFotcghH7
914Please respect copyright.PENANAFb8huLYn13
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.914Please respect copyright.PENANAYXwsKKn4Fx
914Please respect copyright.PENANAenCg9qDuWp
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.914Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1z5Qbc0QB
914Please respect copyright.PENANAwhit6yZuyY
"This 'Johnny' thing?"914Please respect copyright.PENANADnAAMVUiRr
914Please respect copyright.PENANAakL7yiqhZ2
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.914Please respect copyright.PENANAe9wPBA08rN
914Please respect copyright.PENANAED9tbDnv54
"Why would we?" I asked.914Please respect copyright.PENANAq50VOYTd8b
914Please respect copyright.PENANADfHWQR1TB8
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."914Please respect copyright.PENANAxfKcH63rR6
914Please respect copyright.PENANAx3Bl7yD21L
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."914Please respect copyright.PENANAvJwJJTgPaz
914Please respect copyright.PENANAXl73HdpVvB
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."914Please respect copyright.PENANAJlEG7HqVYQ
914Please respect copyright.PENANAJvbVUWardg
"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?"914Please respect copyright.PENANAV3IxiTaMos
914Please respect copyright.PENANA1DKob6gC4X
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.914Please respect copyright.PENANAmy1gSvu06h
914Please respect copyright.PENANAzQEM6QCclK
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.914Please respect copyright.PENANArWKDktAd6E
914Please respect copyright.PENANAvn5MpdriGQ
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."914Please respect copyright.PENANAy1ciBEGPqZ
914Please respect copyright.PENANA8oPNmWsTul
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAlGy49zgeRf
914Please respect copyright.PENANARZZMmtOiNW
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.914Please respect copyright.PENANAJMXRIrfVkP
914Please respect copyright.PENANA1gdWe0Yg9H
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."914Please respect copyright.PENANALfODbzGKd9
914Please respect copyright.PENANAqt8X8O8oiR
"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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAXQvzL0qapD
914Please respect copyright.PENANA0lGGIxl9f5
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.914Please respect copyright.PENANAPX9vNE1Kig
914Please respect copyright.PENANAqi4xbEZGew
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.914Please respect copyright.PENANAfh8o3zLpmn
914Please respect copyright.PENANAUFTX9oR33D
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.914Please respect copyright.PENANAbNmOSHOHD7
914Please respect copyright.PENANAhFtn1tE6NU
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.914Please respect copyright.PENANAJvQJn2lhH3
914Please respect copyright.PENANAFY1t9ekmQe
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."914Please respect copyright.PENANAdhE7XUSo0v
914Please respect copyright.PENANAG9nSoXs11r
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.914Please respect copyright.PENANANEUk2Vok2C
914Please respect copyright.PENANAAh3EC42ZUm
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.914Please respect copyright.PENANAMbC5MsX8wY
914Please respect copyright.PENANA6gR9QMmnaW
"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."914Please respect copyright.PENANAHv54V1AxLz
914Please respect copyright.PENANAN1iWN5R5gB
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."914Please respect copyright.PENANAdVTYauk3zR
914Please respect copyright.PENANAZpoOlQRNrI
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"914Please respect copyright.PENANAltyIAEZxQM
914Please respect copyright.PENANA1o1w6GfX6c
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."914Please respect copyright.PENANA0jK4xomRNB
914Please respect copyright.PENANAkq4j0A3Hds
"Really?"914Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ru74KhsWY
914Please respect copyright.PENANABGaFgsuoEv
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"914Please respect copyright.PENANAUop3ONAMO2
914Please respect copyright.PENANAOsVTkCkdWA
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."914Please respect copyright.PENANAdhLuxadwMp
914Please respect copyright.PENANAV3jYnJ66IE
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."914Please respect copyright.PENANAgOJc0mcfFL
914Please respect copyright.PENANAa9cqY0EZFx
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.914Please respect copyright.PENANA8NOcLNpW8A
914Please respect copyright.PENANAKqO9H6Be3z
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."914Please respect copyright.PENANAVR2iuoRPvq
914Please respect copyright.PENANAqScXRZmrFT
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.914Please respect copyright.PENANAq0log12REu
914Please respect copyright.PENANA9SMUeTUuFK
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.914Please respect copyright.PENANACUpoYrJLge
914Please respect copyright.PENANAoUx131xFP1
"Ya, you too," I answered as I smiled back.914Please respect copyright.PENANAoiZloqr4kd
914Please respect copyright.PENANAQl0H5AVgRR
He turned and walked to the elevator. I stood there and watched him leave.914Please respect copyright.PENANABimjT2iHBY
914Please respect copyright.PENANAgqQml8Wh1U
"Sam, get in here quick!" Zoey called out to me. "You have to see this!"914Please respect copyright.PENANAmevWzM8YCy
914Please respect copyright.PENANAtvh8gT94JB
I quickly went back into the lounge and took my seat next to Lee.914Please respect copyright.PENANAdt0zW0kTW2
914Please respect copyright.PENANAOQI4yo5y8Z
"This better be worth the call," I said as I looked at Lee's tablet.914Please respect copyright.PENANAe70WbNmtiU
914Please respect copyright.PENANAA5c0fUtp8e
"There was a dance video of Lisa and some girl," said Lee as she played the video for me.914Please respect copyright.PENANAcpOzguPbTj
914Please respect copyright.PENANALoey5pVrzp
I watched Lisa and the young lady danced to a popular K-Pop song. There were people around that watched and cheered.914Please respect copyright.PENANAc7R4hKmpEv
914Please respect copyright.PENANAuMGfDDEDCQ
"Well, that's cool," I said after the clip ended.914Please respect copyright.PENANA4a6NMhT3Dc
914Please respect copyright.PENANAi8KA72iySF
"These guys had a really good time," said Mike.914Please respect copyright.PENANAGi8qte2PY5
914Please respect copyright.PENANASUcgQJsb7t
"Ya, but with someone you consider your enemy," said Lee.914Please respect copyright.PENANAgWfwFs5Euf
914Please respect copyright.PENANAdd6GT9UcwK
"Whatever," said Christine. "We're way past that. We just don't want any drama with him."914Please respect copyright.PENANAjIpz6VYXGo
914Please respect copyright.PENANATwEW2MCoM2
"That will be impossible since he got to hang out with G-Dragon, BlackPink and WINNER who happen to be your friends."914Please respect copyright.PENANAHIzSCTv89c
914Please respect copyright.PENANAuTlWUv73N6
"Ya, good point," said Daniel. "What do you think we should do?"914Please respect copyright.PENANAnpb3dWPeZ0
914Please respect copyright.PENANAcK2Dg4WLpS
"Do we really have to do anything?" Christine asked.914Please respect copyright.PENANAsEyIekdxng
914Please respect copyright.PENANAqjcLnPkHOK
"Don't tell me you want to think of something like a battle strategy?" Lee asked.914Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7tojemDej
914Please respect copyright.PENANAoXNYZYGX3r
"Why should we?" I asked. "We have a song to work on, remember? Johnny should be the least of our problems."914Please respect copyright.PENANAyakY5nceQT
914Please respect copyright.PENANAGygX390qui
"Something tells me we are going to meet him sooner than we anticipated," said Zoey.914Please respect copyright.PENANAhIlXUYWdfg
914Please respect copyright.PENANA57XcnNxnHW
