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?511Please respect copyright.PENANAYeD2UW49tO
511Please respect copyright.PENANApU9SYDDU6P
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.511Please respect copyright.PENANAdOBiIosGd6
511Please respect copyright.PENANAHizFDiqUSm
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.511Please respect copyright.PENANAvlALgNDPDv
511Please respect copyright.PENANA5PhdD8JKcQ
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.511Please respect copyright.PENANAMRKi315Wqu
511Please respect copyright.PENANAokuudFMGst
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.511Please respect copyright.PENANAjmbSFwCTkp
511Please respect copyright.PENANAEqHEtFBNs5
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.511Please respect copyright.PENANAVFOGW0SQno
511Please respect copyright.PENANAa3lbZDBKos
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.511Please respect copyright.PENANAoBIkZIeTbH
511Please respect copyright.PENANA8BEzu7gPut
"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?"511Please respect copyright.PENANAgHwBOidJU5
511Please respect copyright.PENANAjdXCb9ZHTa
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."511Please respect copyright.PENANAArJlnXL7QU
511Please respect copyright.PENANArDS3E5fCPF
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.511Please respect copyright.PENANAwANaHhkaws
511Please respect copyright.PENANABPqOcMoIYl
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.511Please respect copyright.PENANAN0rC4w722c
511Please respect copyright.PENANAObyivMuTUJ
"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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAgj37uL6H81
511Please respect copyright.PENANANx1whwP7bO
"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."511Please respect copyright.PENANAxnq3gfZT71
511Please respect copyright.PENANAYO0T1iUz7k
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.511Please respect copyright.PENANAyf86su2kXg
511Please respect copyright.PENANAKxed5cxL9n
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.511Please respect copyright.PENANA37btNh7uYP
511Please respect copyright.PENANA4zTSArqbUd
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.511Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZKy6I0JFd
511Please respect copyright.PENANAPdT7whMm7V
"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."511Please respect copyright.PENANAaUDqMfKw3T
511Please respect copyright.PENANAFvED84H5eP
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.511Please respect copyright.PENANAclpBdLC8Z7
511Please respect copyright.PENANAMN6nn2fkYJ
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."511Please respect copyright.PENANAAVR6OF4Xi8
511Please respect copyright.PENANAAYBlXxS9Yf
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.511Please respect copyright.PENANAOEJXlq9rk2
511Please respect copyright.PENANA5GTQJlNRiQ
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAiRc9DNbpkr
511Please respect copyright.PENANAoQ09q0FLqS
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.511Please respect copyright.PENANA5SnIxAKaZH
511Please respect copyright.PENANAwwA3wrPzou
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."511Please respect copyright.PENANAQEl1dK2FIz
511Please respect copyright.PENANA5dmfv17Eeq
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.511Please respect copyright.PENANANfHU8s9yhb
511Please respect copyright.PENANAOgyovoIUr7
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.511Please respect copyright.PENANA7Nrnv5zl0f
511Please respect copyright.PENANAJINqHAIGg3
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.511Please respect copyright.PENANArfg7JmULmj
511Please respect copyright.PENANA8gV0fNdalR
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAsRttAMtmdQ
511Please respect copyright.PENANAwiTnqhjri9
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."511Please respect copyright.PENANA5uSNE3qv9U
511Please respect copyright.PENANAjTJXbqmda5
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.511Please respect copyright.PENANA5gEwbJRhIq
511Please respect copyright.PENANAwRNCV39IgN
"Sometimes I think you cheat."511Please respect copyright.PENANAG2bBdhkLhD
511Please respect copyright.PENANATf8mp6D7mc
"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."511Please respect copyright.PENANAgKWjnXHCxX
511Please respect copyright.PENANAkwiw6nz2b2
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."511Please respect copyright.PENANALz0Zf77Is1
511Please respect copyright.PENANAAHiygEcXS8
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.511Please respect copyright.PENANAjbQigmYHyw
511Please respect copyright.PENANAXlWQKx9ADq
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.511Please respect copyright.PENANAaYJLLRJLJT
511Please respect copyright.PENANAapt6rxkbiZ
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.511Please respect copyright.PENANAzy8v5uk84d
511Please respect copyright.PENANAYkZLmCbis3
"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."511Please respect copyright.PENANAe8L0F26Cis
511Please respect copyright.PENANAFGCzME1X7B
"I better go give them a call, then."511Please respect copyright.PENANAWBQJ2iAKrp
511Please respect copyright.PENANAM9yiuZ8HGF
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAkAN74l8Bzv
511Please respect copyright.PENANAUod5sjYiWD
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANA1mpopXOPAh
511Please respect copyright.PENANAOzMTFn4ZjQ
"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.511Please respect copyright.PENANA2AZrwvWAJz
511Please respect copyright.PENANAl0RUtiPolJ
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAgWJ9yDYhKF
511Please respect copyright.PENANADLAlbPXKmw
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANASUcmAg0PZx
511Please respect copyright.PENANAa6kg2WWDus
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?511Please respect copyright.PENANAK35wrRnlyu
511Please respect copyright.PENANAnYMTSSOFyd
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAMyFJ053yJH
511Please respect copyright.PENANAt9XgZ8Dmti
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.511Please respect copyright.PENANAMUNI4hYwEc
511Please respect copyright.PENANAQoII00szQG
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.511Please respect copyright.PENANARo006XaFvR
511Please respect copyright.PENANAWB51Y7YyTm
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."511Please respect copyright.PENANA5efo1QABZY
511Please respect copyright.PENANA32JojDJkeN
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"511Please respect copyright.PENANAWa6DiY3d2x
511Please respect copyright.PENANA1c6tEaqGyO
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"511Please respect copyright.PENANAAYyoW4ehC2
511Please respect copyright.PENANAwxZ4kzXgYf
"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."511Please respect copyright.PENANADH49UBWgjh
511Please respect copyright.PENANAAHvAPGZWBk
"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."511Please respect copyright.PENANAvLAMeKT7v7
511Please respect copyright.PENANAmvMtsMzNKn
"Ya, sure."511Please respect copyright.PENANA1BC8bMQ1cI
511Please respect copyright.PENANAraUglLjUba
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANACltDqmzmGr
511Please respect copyright.PENANAv0YTNZdyZb
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.511Please respect copyright.PENANAwNVM270a74
511Please respect copyright.PENANAktfsG0pjDU
"Anything?" Zoey asked.511Please respect copyright.PENANARCnRMC6PEG
511Please respect copyright.PENANACdGhyWMepB
"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."511Please respect copyright.PENANABWdrIfHVhG
511Please respect copyright.PENANArElwhsja7c
"Okay, well, we can wait."511Please respect copyright.PENANAiYOl308PGc
511Please respect copyright.PENANA47o801UajQ
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."511Please respect copyright.PENANAHw1rwUrKcg
511Please respect copyright.PENANAaD3QttXhwH
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."511Please respect copyright.PENANAuyHIaNeqbQ
511Please respect copyright.PENANAZYNamlYLBO
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."511Please respect copyright.PENANAdqxnugWKZq
511Please respect copyright.PENANAyZCYChQRZ7
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."511Please respect copyright.PENANA3MWjiAKzT3
511Please respect copyright.PENANAhuXjFsQClo
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."511Please respect copyright.PENANAq2eOgXYVJ3
511Please respect copyright.PENANAfD3io0qjho
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.511Please respect copyright.PENANAw66PEmtYkL
511Please respect copyright.PENANApQNYW8o9pn
"We can't work on the song without them."511Please respect copyright.PENANAYEWYYAqyDJ
511Please respect copyright.PENANAlKZinxKNfw
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."511Please respect copyright.PENANAZSiKz7uzji
511Please respect copyright.PENANAcPNVMaH06j
"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."511Please respect copyright.PENANAZGCHBgNyNn
511Please respect copyright.PENANAdq2umBHeDy
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."511Please respect copyright.PENANAIhZ3oZtdai
511Please respect copyright.PENANASFgNan4pL3
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.511Please respect copyright.PENANAgkTnPWxt8a
511Please respect copyright.PENANAPgUL7AYeQ9
"Then get your guitar and notebook."511Please respect copyright.PENANAICXqmU0awl
511Please respect copyright.PENANAGw6P2TmXjo
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."511Please respect copyright.PENANAtMLDSc0b5n
511Please respect copyright.PENANANm39aYMmRL
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"511Please respect copyright.PENANAWUZgxMa2wF
511Please respect copyright.PENANALGH9RkDC7f
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."511Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7r6Q8FRy7
511Please respect copyright.PENANAQu9p5x7KdZ
"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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAIqGG5jkJ3V
511Please respect copyright.PENANA3vrbTRu7Xb
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAr1eE4os357
511Please respect copyright.PENANAt9Jk8FjAEK
"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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAk5ZzjYOdWx
511Please respect copyright.PENANAbcmaMwqevK
"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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAzBoFqtzfDP
511Please respect copyright.PENANAhXQb2I7q2P
"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?"511Please respect copyright.PENANAKoQuf6QzPT
511Please respect copyright.PENANA8CRHWSKgnx
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.511Please respect copyright.PENANAQcy7IWgMWI
511Please respect copyright.PENANAtUktT1Zdoz
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."511Please respect copyright.PENANAzg599Xv688
511Please respect copyright.PENANAPPF8SLXUQ8
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.511Please respect copyright.PENANAopplJr7C5E
511Please respect copyright.PENANAwtXk5GOZ2g
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.511Please respect copyright.PENANAs7EXd5P6rL
511Please respect copyright.PENANAMl3QzKR8IU
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.511Please respect copyright.PENANA9wu2FLUw2k
511Please respect copyright.PENANAllXkejlwqX
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.511Please respect copyright.PENANAxjnsRvggh2
511Please respect copyright.PENANAVffGollcEJ
"Yes, really," I answered.511Please respect copyright.PENANAMafP3BgTDk
511Please respect copyright.PENANANOXuPx5uSQ
"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."511Please respect copyright.PENANAiNg2Sly64x
511Please respect copyright.PENANAbv9zTSGhgx
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."511Please respect copyright.PENANAmmSAdhBsOD
511Please respect copyright.PENANA3c9wzHyOvV
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.511Please respect copyright.PENANAHpbHYUMjIx
511Please respect copyright.PENANAWaM2BGw1Jt
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.511Please respect copyright.PENANAecznHe4kaS
511Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4LrjhWwCS
"What went well?" Lee asked.511Please respect copyright.PENANAdbXalk6LqF
511Please respect copyright.PENANAeovluk0KcY
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.511Please respect copyright.PENANABNDBXHk9yB
511Please respect copyright.PENANAd2HsJ30tf4
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAMZJjMejBmR
511Please respect copyright.PENANA02yz66iVmI
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANANegMiOFLma
511Please respect copyright.PENANAIjifkzUyuG
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.511Please respect copyright.PENANAzy0DgGySJ6
511Please respect copyright.PENANAca7pmk4WV8
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."511Please respect copyright.PENANAXxMSZcu8gw
511Please respect copyright.PENANA2dNPcBSMIV
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.511Please respect copyright.PENANA3v92rJojCa
511Please respect copyright.PENANAOXNoaERviz
"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."511Please respect copyright.PENANAEgYDqwEioX
511Please respect copyright.PENANAST4dWWuBsz
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.511Please respect copyright.PENANA51ufl6JLJu
511Please respect copyright.PENANAHpbMMR8smZ
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.511Please respect copyright.PENANAm2G1Af4O1G
511Please respect copyright.PENANAxGLnR8EHIL
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.511Please respect copyright.PENANA1bWKHjr07f
511Please respect copyright.PENANA2kbkJ5DvcM
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.511Please respect copyright.PENANA5wWKlWW4I0
511Please respect copyright.PENANAPQek0VwCKj
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANACTdJmruXSR
511Please respect copyright.PENANASukf5xj5Od
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.511Please respect copyright.PENANAp1UUMcVyAl
511Please respect copyright.PENANANlQMtAB6Mx
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.511Please respect copyright.PENANAISTfbcSXeE
511Please respect copyright.PENANAHY8hQQ99W8
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.511Please respect copyright.PENANAZxpiSARMZc
511Please respect copyright.PENANAVzX4GpXQBU
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."511Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2IVPo9k8M
511Please respect copyright.PENANAE3vYWYkwde
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"511Please respect copyright.PENANAsgrXMw03Kg
511Please respect copyright.PENANA62rrHDIygA
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAxFHRX3VYYi
511Please respect copyright.PENANAOARd4OsYje
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"511Please respect copyright.PENANADWoXYcIKQ8
511Please respect copyright.PENANAmY2svg7hVZ
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."511Please respect copyright.PENANArJgKUpJ3un
511Please respect copyright.PENANAAStX94XntF
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.511Please respect copyright.PENANAPXoCiYo1jq
511Please respect copyright.PENANAdOQkYLgJua
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."511Please respect copyright.PENANAxakYm1xnid
511Please respect copyright.PENANAQX5C4uVdAq
"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?"511Please respect copyright.PENANAH9X7Wv9h0n
511Please respect copyright.PENANAiABTYXOaec
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.511Please respect copyright.PENANAEm6OE2A0SD
511Please respect copyright.PENANAiIAS1Ferib
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.511Please respect copyright.PENANAWJcuYcVDsw
511Please respect copyright.PENANADb6rV9TyRA
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"511Please respect copyright.PENANA0gHh2bZWCw
511Please respect copyright.PENANAqfQXJLrDKc
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.511Please respect copyright.PENANAn53dzuBJNf
511Please respect copyright.PENANAilDP4CMTun
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.511Please respect copyright.PENANAHTUl3qwS57
511Please respect copyright.PENANAZKeyG4LLmB
"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."511Please respect copyright.PENANAEffCJTYdPF
511Please respect copyright.PENANAlbnCNgnHCM
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.511Please respect copyright.PENANAM5lq7IVyPO
511Please respect copyright.PENANAyF7LwnWmaL
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"511Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ7NRdRrgl
511Please respect copyright.PENANAsFUafUnt6T
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAhxXyKmwJfi
511Please respect copyright.PENANA6FAxU2uKf4
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANARe3riMnfaw
511Please respect copyright.PENANA18MgaCWRPg
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.511Please respect copyright.PENANAWakOtTnrOo
511Please respect copyright.PENANAetDQ714aFG
"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."511Please respect copyright.PENANAfpSe4Db4J2
511Please respect copyright.PENANABrkIWks0MP
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."511Please respect copyright.PENANAHw39IlDtoH
511Please respect copyright.PENANA9ubLSs8L0B
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."511Please respect copyright.PENANAVLrXnpPCJF
511Please respect copyright.PENANA9LmoacPZ7m
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.511Please respect copyright.PENANAsonpA1Rm34
511Please respect copyright.PENANAyGthmpy3rQ
"What is it?" Christine asked.511Please respect copyright.PENANAu6jJOLVf4R
511Please respect copyright.PENANAyzgOSfylRs
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.511Please respect copyright.PENANASdlF5E1aBf

"He's here," I said.511Please respect copyright.PENANAHx3ZfjnPgI
511Please respect copyright.PENANAQzowO3iU5E
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"511Please respect copyright.PENANAH8S7ZTtwhV
511Please respect copyright.PENANAZK2sweT7PO
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.511Please respect copyright.PENANAifTrKnF0dh
511Please respect copyright.PENANA9QHdeyghPo
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.511Please respect copyright.PENANAmv6PUVBi0Q
511Please respect copyright.PENANAAVIM0csLWQ
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.511Please respect copyright.PENANAtUHAMqgMeR
511Please respect copyright.PENANADcQ0Avp2ba
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"511Please respect copyright.PENANA8y48rhWFku
511Please respect copyright.PENANA8UDXFGLur2
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.511Please respect copyright.PENANAmsxV9XftD1
511Please respect copyright.PENANAPzAYGuhY7m
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."511Please respect copyright.PENANA820SMfvjl1
511Please respect copyright.PENANAwrVcheQq10
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.511Please respect copyright.PENANAgQWxMiyLhd
511Please respect copyright.PENANA4F1JmQYIXh
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.511Please respect copyright.PENANACo9bgzvhsZ
511Please respect copyright.PENANA1c2AK1i0Un
"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.511Please respect copyright.PENANATgio7sNXPW
511Please respect copyright.PENANANSVvqXqo2f
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.511Please respect copyright.PENANAE6GB14qHTr
511Please respect copyright.PENANAQy9iIz0Jri
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.511Please respect copyright.PENANAphlVNpaIMH
511Please respect copyright.PENANAhE7u0FPhec
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."511Please respect copyright.PENANAQY6zhQbOCX
511Please respect copyright.PENANAXYZnKSHzWp
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANARpraxaWZrU
511Please respect copyright.PENANAcpG1qRnZic
"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."511Please respect copyright.PENANAFTJsSEwwlb
511Please respect copyright.PENANAwcVlRq98E5
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.511Please respect copyright.PENANAspB2hihK5O
511Please respect copyright.PENANAJEOyCyyrPc
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.511Please respect copyright.PENANA85kL7RHKFG
511Please respect copyright.PENANAbUXCfSkh1v
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"511Please respect copyright.PENANAGsJaEc2q1z
511Please respect copyright.PENANAitmNIiCivo
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.511Please respect copyright.PENANAiwmX0OqToX
511Please respect copyright.PENANALCA6DP6WHX
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."511Please respect copyright.PENANAToY2IM02Xf
511Please respect copyright.PENANAAuwVcXLCc3
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."511Please respect copyright.PENANA1kvm3VmqYw
511Please respect copyright.PENANAUmzQ3fLseU
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.511Please respect copyright.PENANAC878fqToCL
511Please respect copyright.PENANAaDbEYHr7Yh
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."511Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9mMGsAN6T
511Please respect copyright.PENANACDnKWJLRxp
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.511Please respect copyright.PENANAdpbE6sUPX1
511Please respect copyright.PENANAJAFLWedL1n
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.511Please respect copyright.PENANA8oNAjG3s2s
511Please respect copyright.PENANAVUWyFUXGki
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....511Please respect copyright.PENANAcyuY3WnofG
511Please respect copyright.PENANAiplCnwUOur
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."511Please respect copyright.PENANATawctH4wjd
511Please respect copyright.PENANAUPzgeJJf3o
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"511Please respect copyright.PENANAHY985XUEFc
511Please respect copyright.PENANA9jOWP7PuKL
"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."511Please respect copyright.PENANAvnQP1gUOA3
511Please respect copyright.PENANAC2oP3LdK18
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."511Please respect copyright.PENANAaSNKEIGPSH
511Please respect copyright.PENANAYuRPPqewSc
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.511Please respect copyright.PENANACZ1QFenw30
511Please respect copyright.PENANA83sP99f0zH
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.511Please respect copyright.PENANAF0wUFhpryZ
511Please respect copyright.PENANA38g55CD73z
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."511Please respect copyright.PENANAMxwVOXGxUt
511Please respect copyright.PENANAQDKkj0EXFC
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.511Please respect copyright.PENANA5KlwSdaAEz
511Please respect copyright.PENANAK8SjEPepoS
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAbbaYxQR5Gs
511Please respect copyright.PENANAxovUxpvVAS
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"511Please respect copyright.PENANACejkJ8BTba
511Please respect copyright.PENANA9jWKcmM7Y3
"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."511Please respect copyright.PENANAqohpFFhL9q
511Please respect copyright.PENANAcT1LF9QoG0
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.511Please respect copyright.PENANAbEin4TfRNC
511Please respect copyright.PENANAZxk6nUwoSH
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."511Please respect copyright.PENANABLco14CO56
511Please respect copyright.PENANANIODCdJ0dc
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.511Please respect copyright.PENANAOxafxOd4It
511Please respect copyright.PENANAUTEzKKFaSA
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.511Please respect copyright.PENANAwCXACdOF93
511Please respect copyright.PENANAONGIXnP3Vd
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.511Please respect copyright.PENANAqNJZtygxNr
511Please respect copyright.PENANAnDaH7PX6SH
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.511Please respect copyright.PENANAHVCfvjRwCE
511Please respect copyright.PENANAYan5ASrpqB
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAcQurLUm4ew
511Please respect copyright.PENANAXqT16hb7kj
"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."511Please respect copyright.PENANAzAGBlm7k5m
511Please respect copyright.PENANAH7ZqJxw0Co
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.511Please respect copyright.PENANALHhx9KN8dQ
511Please respect copyright.PENANA6OFmrBzDo9
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."511Please respect copyright.PENANA9AqdjVDMVW
511Please respect copyright.PENANAKy15oZeuPD
"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."511Please respect copyright.PENANA2Wj8gQPPvn
511Please respect copyright.PENANAoBF7GdlKJz
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAvawrHR4GhY
511Please respect copyright.PENANAC07Gn4DzjV
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.511Please respect copyright.PENANAnaBvrZmI8D
511Please respect copyright.PENANAPC69GsSEvx
"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."511Please respect copyright.PENANAKvAe3PVCpE
511Please respect copyright.PENANAfnAKektQcf
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."511Please respect copyright.PENANAPYMBs4LLC1
511Please respect copyright.PENANAW98ngDiYwd
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"511Please respect copyright.PENANA7TURvKnqvU
511Please respect copyright.PENANAcURYdVYTLO
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."511Please respect copyright.PENANACipGymHXea
511Please respect copyright.PENANA3XgZOGukPM
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."511Please respect copyright.PENANAc4jM1A9790
511Please respect copyright.PENANAUbr7qRhFY5
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..."511Please respect copyright.PENANAUHKwSkdRQq
511Please respect copyright.PENANABnQnaBBRA5
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"511Please respect copyright.PENANAoWxlClVlK3
511Please respect copyright.PENANATSulMuuxqc
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.511Please respect copyright.PENANAJ34K9rUlt5
511Please respect copyright.PENANATwTbBvcjGa
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.511Please respect copyright.PENANAgUGEycg6gy
511Please respect copyright.PENANAtNDVXsir0T
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.511Please respect copyright.PENANAK3QUcH2vHs
511Please respect copyright.PENANAUavNjtKHJD
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.511Please respect copyright.PENANANQCQLwbaUk
511Please respect copyright.PENANAGy0LaMWX2S
"I can't believe it" she said.511Please respect copyright.PENANAnaTB4aplkQ
511Please respect copyright.PENANA37o6gsAdFS
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.511Please respect copyright.PENANAg1NhC5uMV6
511Please respect copyright.PENANAEHvFt6pQoX
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.511Please respect copyright.PENANAHRE0t8WzmV
511Please respect copyright.PENANAZ12QzOD6LN
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.511Please respect copyright.PENANAVfJGkvjMFy
511Please respect copyright.PENANAKlzB3ZExgc
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.511Please respect copyright.PENANA5k9uehGLc9
511Please respect copyright.PENANAirXYbXsmi1
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAYFF575hvAj
511Please respect copyright.PENANAaneXc2QbZJ
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANA7gfmOhzMUo
511Please respect copyright.PENANA2psxmpJa9q
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:511Please respect copyright.PENANAsKSpoWrKFE
511Please respect copyright.PENANAYVUuSqioH2
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.511Please respect copyright.PENANAfPAi0pNrkv
511Please respect copyright.PENANAU6L9yCr9zd
"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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAo96OxDa31v
511Please respect copyright.PENANAbUgIzVL0BN
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANASNPEjz9QqS
511Please respect copyright.PENANATCy5j4ntZr
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."511Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9TjXqyTlt
511Please respect copyright.PENANABmVdG3Vq0t
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.511Please respect copyright.PENANA8j0JLc9OcU
511Please respect copyright.PENANA9TM6LyDf18
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.511Please respect copyright.PENANANx7bJN05nU
511Please respect copyright.PENANA5a3dl0hb6p
"He seems pretty cool."511Please respect copyright.PENANAW61IGxbyX7
511Please respect copyright.PENANAuW4nLdZZsQ
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.511Please respect copyright.PENANAOHb6Yej1Qc
511Please respect copyright.PENANAcTOZfGYEfW
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.511Please respect copyright.PENANAe88NxBCOgV
511Please respect copyright.PENANA7RABtXhE9g
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."511Please respect copyright.PENANAN2enFwemkj
511Please respect copyright.PENANAH0PR0SqhYm
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.511Please respect copyright.PENANA66OfROqCc0
511Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2xrAUtwDv
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."511Please respect copyright.PENANAY0ZExBEeL0
511Please respect copyright.PENANAAqJqk6Hh6V
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.511Please respect copyright.PENANAkusZTTy9hV
511Please respect copyright.PENANAKuA1QlVS6V
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.511Please respect copyright.PENANA4OCIPIEiP3
511Please respect copyright.PENANAiRBdiBhvmt
"This 'Johnny' thing?"511Please respect copyright.PENANAAmaYTZkRK8
511Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8V0VoAgZt
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.511Please respect copyright.PENANAR4RkjID2HH
511Please respect copyright.PENANA864VlaEwsc
"Why would we?" I asked.511Please respect copyright.PENANAzUXYGPjfHI
511Please respect copyright.PENANAQz62GVAPpm
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."511Please respect copyright.PENANAtDMlmpX4R0
511Please respect copyright.PENANAG8wZEpPzKz
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."511Please respect copyright.PENANAqJXXBiNlec
511Please respect copyright.PENANA67PT7sC6Ar
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."511Please respect copyright.PENANAcxQrenk07V
511Please respect copyright.PENANAyZmloODEQA
"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?"511Please respect copyright.PENANAq2UJ4MRe0H
511Please respect copyright.PENANAGrzQWsRKEe
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.511Please respect copyright.PENANA3AXMVmERTb
511Please respect copyright.PENANAzA5QIvsLmR
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.511Please respect copyright.PENANAn8OFm2Qm7w
511Please respect copyright.PENANAwnBdmdBYv3
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."511Please respect copyright.PENANAFb2DUmZVYQ
511Please respect copyright.PENANA4a9Op9gk8l
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAgQDhrBRxET
511Please respect copyright.PENANAmrMmlqgjXF
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.511Please respect copyright.PENANAmFppJxI4QL
511Please respect copyright.PENANAYNVujIo4rd
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."511Please respect copyright.PENANAkN6KiTRF9d
511Please respect copyright.PENANANcAOpq9Vjt
"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.511Please respect copyright.PENANABGiyGjCSlz
511Please respect copyright.PENANAFbkRpjpXzu
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.511Please respect copyright.PENANAtDPCgAWzrv
511Please respect copyright.PENANAXlgPneOPfP
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.511Please respect copyright.PENANAmzqaJjQXq9
511Please respect copyright.PENANAQU6C8QKKga
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.511Please respect copyright.PENANAE6GKb2EN2D
511Please respect copyright.PENANA34a8Ws3YaV
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.511Please respect copyright.PENANAo50azc0gnk
511Please respect copyright.PENANADKEwbTXSDD
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."511Please respect copyright.PENANAF5zhFQTSgh
511Please respect copyright.PENANAIyrkpBYzs7
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.511Please respect copyright.PENANA3kVHbUU3Yt
511Please respect copyright.PENANArCQNeg5dlQ
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.511Please respect copyright.PENANAuli3GPNL6I
511Please respect copyright.PENANAhnYpuJVH8I
"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."511Please respect copyright.PENANAjYpfGgkSjo
511Please respect copyright.PENANAcobGF1QQrv
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."511Please respect copyright.PENANA1glON5UhKj
511Please respect copyright.PENANAA8wEZYgSTH
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"511Please respect copyright.PENANAsICKhRfQko
511Please respect copyright.PENANAeyXOyDCLeC
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."511Please respect copyright.PENANA4K3APTPe5O
511Please respect copyright.PENANAqdQK7NipMv
"Really?"511Please respect copyright.PENANASEBCM8R6sw
511Please respect copyright.PENANAPJHsQKEN3w
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"511Please respect copyright.PENANA4B61KVIjG6
511Please respect copyright.PENANA3xlRtwckeJ
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."511Please respect copyright.PENANAkYd02AndkZ
511Please respect copyright.PENANAkmLgGMFwxD
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."511Please respect copyright.PENANAInQjZJTfzs
511Please respect copyright.PENANALz1gh5tEWA
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.511Please respect copyright.PENANAy5zSnZPyyT
511Please respect copyright.PENANAIw7WJNm6tj
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."511Please respect copyright.PENANAWPhhbCYPEi
511Please respect copyright.PENANAWrbBEzdDX4
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.511Please respect copyright.PENANAEP1FVbOlx9
511Please respect copyright.PENANA9sB0fuMtdQ
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.511Please respect copyright.PENANA9SB1wf7h2V
511Please respect copyright.PENANAeH3R0j13qx
"Ya, you too," I answered as I smiled back.511Please respect copyright.PENANAr4YdCTiUIk
511Please respect copyright.PENANAB6teUjRPU1
He turned and walked to the elevator. I stood there and watched him leave.511Please respect copyright.PENANAQB5vXhiXVU
511Please respect copyright.PENANAfya1kxbti2
"Sam, get in here quick!" Zoey called out to me. "You have to see this!"511Please respect copyright.PENANAnMYqV4VyZm
511Please respect copyright.PENANAN98qrAOE6s
I quickly went back into the lounge and took my seat next to Lee.511Please respect copyright.PENANAfs0CRC1kAd
511Please respect copyright.PENANAyUJ3siOxTr
"This better be worth the call," I said as I looked at Lee's tablet.511Please respect copyright.PENANA75v22UeqSy
511Please respect copyright.PENANA7bfRIe0uQB
"There was a dance video of Lisa and some girl," said Lee as she played the video for me.511Please respect copyright.PENANAjUe9s44J8g
511Please respect copyright.PENANAZXnOncFY6Z
I watched Lisa and the young lady danced to a popular K-Pop song. There were people around that watched and cheered.511Please respect copyright.PENANAsuwhgfLn1M
511Please respect copyright.PENANAg8A16GBp8M
"Well, that's cool," I said after the clip ended.511Please respect copyright.PENANAp5msuVOUnC
511Please respect copyright.PENANAY5IRd4ngjZ
"These guys had a really good time," said Mike.511Please respect copyright.PENANAYn1NfyZzzm
511Please respect copyright.PENANAHJybFTblkE
"Ya, but with someone you consider your enemy," said Lee.511Please respect copyright.PENANAHTDqyqCZac
511Please respect copyright.PENANA6gV0bjRI1q
"Whatever," said Christine. "We're way past that. We just don't want any drama with him."511Please respect copyright.PENANAzZnH8qSOh6
511Please respect copyright.PENANA6wigVS9mVd
"That will be impossible since he got to hang out with G-Dragon, BlackPink and WINNER who happen to be your friends."511Please respect copyright.PENANAf2N9e1SHJw
511Please respect copyright.PENANAUIfJPPQs0u
"Ya, good point," said Daniel. "What do you think we should do?"511Please respect copyright.PENANA15uej1PsHE
511Please respect copyright.PENANA8XAJAC8maT
"Do we really have to do anything?" Christine asked.511Please respect copyright.PENANABGFMWLnN5V
511Please respect copyright.PENANAokuQLTf61p
"Don't tell me you want to think of something like a battle strategy?" Lee asked.511Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6ENDQO0f7
511Please respect copyright.PENANAJWfxys7Ddp
"Why should we?" I asked. "We have a song to work on, remember? Johnny should be the least of our problems."511Please respect copyright.PENANAoObGVBAnTD
511Please respect copyright.PENANACInL4yGog8
"Something tells me we are going to meet him sooner than we anticipated," said Zoey.511Please respect copyright.PENANAxVzdhePHki
511Please respect copyright.PENANAaGV9SQn7Oq
