So, as it turns out, the rest of the BTW members did want to meet up and talk about the album. It was obvious. They were upset and wanted answers. Sadly, I couldn't really give them what they were looking for.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtdbiIi54C
While I waited for the other members to arrive, Daniel, Christine and I were seated on the floor while Zoey was pacing up and down with Mike seated on the couch. We were working on the song. So far, we had an idea of what the song would be about. We started working on the chorus first.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmSzserRWN
"Okay, so the first part of the chorus," I said as I looked at my notebook, "'I want to sing a sad song tonight, but there's nothing in my head.' What do you think?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ee6tRYdtW
"Why would a sad song be in your head?" Zoey asked as she continued to pace up and down.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzSoSGnP6f
"Don't you always think about what you want to sing?" Mike asked. "And when you're heartbroken, you definitely want to sing a sad song. Although, we do things without thinking sometimes."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3GVKwPtjM
"Oh, okay."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tR4Z9AMWu
"I think it's good, so far," said Daniel who sat next to me. "What will come next?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvnEPtgU6p
I scribbled something down. It didn't seem right so I cancelled it out with my pen. "Nah, that didn't seem right," I said.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSqnCM5LhL
"Come on, Sam, you have to think," said Zoey as she looked at me.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNRowUhJbD
"What if you mention about being heartbroken in the next line?" Mike asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡZppvtM7hHY
I thought of what Mike said and I started to write while I sang the lyrics, "'I've been heartbroken many times and these are one of those days.' How does that sound?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J87yDLmEF
Christine blew a kiss in the air, "love it. Let's continue."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w4iP7TNX5
Some lyrics sprang in my mind and I quickly wrote them down while singing, keeping the tune I had in my head. "'I try to find a song to ease the pain, I try to find a song that suits my mood.'"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QAPQbEIAJ
"Alright, we will inform you if there will be any changes," said Lee as she was on the landline. "Thank you, have a good day."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs7h0qDCqH
After the call, Lee came over to us with her hands on her waist.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oNOKozSpN
"It's nice to see all of you like this when you've a song to write," said Lee with a smile on her face.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BYXpyuOyu
"If it wasn't for us making an album, I wouldn't be here," said Zoey as she continued to pace up and down.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡT46rQlw9Qb
"We all know that. But you don't have much time and it's good Sam is pushing you all."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QTxV6MME4
"Ya, but it's going to be tough," I said as I looked up at Lee.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr3C2GYbSH
"It's nothing we can't handle," said Christine. "When the others are here, I bet we will work much faster."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iAQy13jSw
"Trust me, the first thirty minutes they get here, they will be complaining like crazy," said Lee.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEAckqpcVh
"Well, at least I got to complain earlier," said Zoey.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUoz0Kny6u
"You're still upset and you know you can't complain any more since Sam told you to keep quiet while we all think," said Mike.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQV6GEvDms
Zoey threw him a look. "Just mind your own business," she said. "We have a song to work on."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmVI0x76d6
Mike just shrugged his shoulders while Daniel and I just shook our heads at her and went back to looking at my notebook. Soon, the landline started to ring and Lee groaned in frustration.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqCAE4gEzf
"Looks like you also have too much on your plate, Lee," said Christine.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3natejnBc2
"You've no idea," said Lee as she went over to the landline and picked up the call.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYKwSpA2WN
I sang out what we had written so far as the chorus and when I asked the others how it was, Lee came over to interrupt us after that call on the phone.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwbBm4gvhp
"The others are here," she announced. "You all better brace yourselves."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡxajPwysJq1
"I've to be the one to do so," I said. "I'm the leader after all." I went on to address the others. "So what do you think? I feel we haven't really completed the chorus."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBMvl7ym6s
"I agree," said Daniel.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHPkT5rFIm
The others agreed too and while we continued to brainstorm for more creative lyrics, we heard the elevator down the hall open. BlackPink and WINNER were here.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAe6SwPkWT
I could hear them talking in the hall and I could tell they weren't happy. They soon came into the lounge and the five of us, Toxins and Lee, gave them nervous smiles.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv3eUkYO3D
"Hey, people," I said as I stood up from the floor. "How are you all doing?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pCWZ9orZq
The two groups all answered at the same time in their own words that it became too much for my ears.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRZPeikOQh
"Okay, chill out, everyone," I said as I raised my hand, signaling them to stop talking. Surprisingly, they did. "Why can't you all just sit down and relax for a bit? Talking like this won't help."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtHL9GmHZE
The two groups soon made themselves comfortable around the lounge. Some were seated on the floor with Daniel and Christine, while others were on the couch. Zoey soon joined the others on the floor while I remained standing in front of everyone, my back facing the flat screen TV on the wall. Lee also stood, but near the landline so as to pick it up when anyone called.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXC7JDoLeg
"Okay, I know everyone here is upset," I said. "So, for your wellbeing, a few of you can say a few words to vent out your anger."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpc5Hprxah
There was an awkward silence as those seated in the lounge looked at one another. They were probably wondering why I said that. Some went on to look at me with confused looks on their faces.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VguC7jH9u
"Wait, Sam," said Seunghoon. He was seated on the couch alongside Mike and Jinwoo. "You want us to say how we are feeling right now? Like how angry we are about the album?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QnMYiBaxF
"Yes," I said. "We're going to treat this time like a therapy session."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnuZnvdf9B
"Okay," said Jennie who sat on the floor. She raised her hand and I allowed her to speak. "I want to say something." She stood up from the floor. "I am not happy about us making an album. I thought this weekend was meant for us to rest and worry about making a new song later. I wake up this morning, hoping it will be a good one, but no. I wake up to a message saying that we are making an album. This is so uncool!"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡW41g0dwVbh
"Thank you, Jennie," I said. She sat back down. "Trust me, I was surprised when Collins told me the news himself. We were supposed to receive the news on Monday, but I guess it was a good thing he told me earlier. Or else, we would really have panicked."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgeyTpBXQM
Mino raised his hand, I made him go ahead and speak. "So, you're telling me that they didn't even reconsider us making it? Two singles wouldn't have been a problem and now we have to make an album? How many songs are going to be in this album?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC1PEhEHGN
I rubbed my hands together. "Not more than five songs," I answered.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡEABOTPN0NT
"Five songs!" came the chorus response from the others, except the Toxins. They started complaining again all at once.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl0nbnwyHM
"Guys, calm down!" I shouted, making sure my voice was much louder than theirs. Surprisingly, again, the noise slowly died down.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgJHXs4lCd
"I know," I continued, "that five songs is too much with the time that we have. But we wanted BTW to become an official group that we really didn't think about what might happen in the future."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v88SS9mep
My last statement got everyone there that they had sad, guilty faces. It was harsh, but that was the reality.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo6HYVKsd9
"Look, as little time as we have right now, we should all just try to relax. The other Toxins and I started working on a song. If you don't want to participate, it's fine, given the anger we all have and we can work on something on Monday. If others want to join us, they can stay."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPm9K7nsMp
"Our work just got harder, didn't it?" Jisoo asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBvoUVkwQE
"Ya, it did. So, who are going to stay?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBSSEaVfaA
A moment passed and no one raised their hand. It felt a little disappointing but I had to be expectant of everything including this. I wouldn't blame them. We were all upset and tired. We just had a rough week and we were now getting into a more challenging one.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wcGl7C60s
I was just about to say something to conclude the meeting when Jinwoo spoke first.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfJZrBjrlq
"I'll stay," he said.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQYlA50Ft8
"Really?" I asked as a smile appeared on my face.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DoLZZD50l
"Sure, why not?" He smiled back at me.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYBUqFh4pG
"If Jinwoo is staying, then so will I," said Lisa who sat on the floor next to Zoey.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78dpF8zCjZ
"Oh, yes!" Zoey exclaimed as she hugged Lisa seated next to her. "Someone to vent out my anger with."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBxLiuBrBA
"I'll stay too," said Mino.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlFFzf35bJ
"For my little kitten, I will stay," said Seunghoon.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡopOpZn6OHl
"What the heck.., I'm in," said Seungyoon.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO0M1J5AiF
The other three BlackPink members agreed in unison that they would also stay. This was great. We were already working as a team and I couldn't have asked for anything better.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡieTcuFahbt
"This is great," I said. "I'm going to give us all some time to relax and work on the song later."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwbwLzW4Rg
"You're right," said Seunghoon. "Working on this requires that we have a peaceful mind."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEqgdGrinP
"Hey, are we all forgetting something?" Lisa asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWFaO6ucYp
"What is it?" Daniel asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmHfneRDvH
"Just like every group, there's always supposed to be a leader. And as far as I know, BTW doesn't have one."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AYr15VUua
"That's true," said Jisoo.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2vxM5bQlj
"You said every group has a leader when that isn't always the case," said Christine.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VzvqZNH9p
"Oh, really?" Mike asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVWwFacSPl
"Yep," Christine said with a smile. "So far, BlackPink is one of the K-Pop groups that have no leader."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtgKX7XaTo
"Oh, ya," said Mino. "That's true."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvrcLVyk4G
"I always thought Jennie or Lisa was the leader," said Daniel as he scratched his head. "I should have asked the first time we met."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPfyZnf27p
"We believe all four of us are leaders," said Rosé. "So, there was no point in picking one amongst ourselves."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvKzyvlRjI
"For you to be so well coordinated as a group, you don't really need one," I said.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvG4E3n723
"I like the way you put it, Sam," said Jennie.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAPN8Hzvzl
"Okay, back to the main issue at hand," said Seunghoon. "Who will be our leader?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbf7NmE8j9
"We don't have to choose amongst ourselves because our managers already did it for us," said Zoey.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn3oqGXCZz
"Huh? Wait a minute," said Mino as he looked at Zoey. "How do you guys get all this first hand information before anyone else?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqTIgRdLZB
"As much as there is a strict relationship between The Toxins and Collins, he gets to tell them what they need to know when it's necessary," said Lee.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡklQBT01VpB
"I wouldn't have put it in a much better sentence," said Mike as he looked at Lee.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡprwECZjXFM
"You guys seem to have fun with Collins," said Jinwoo.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8vpNQm7xL
"Fun with Collins?" Christine asked as she chuckled. "That's an understatement."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gO4qULefp
"You should hear what he calls us sometimes," said Zoey. "But we can't deny that we have our good moments with him."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDvVFUIF3Q
"So, who's our leader?" Seungyoon asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YdvdDVKR0
"I am," I answered.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡbikAKITjbA
"Wow, really?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5V3GegLn1
I shrugged my shoulders. "We didn't get to pick earlier so our managers decided to give me the responsibility."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tx0aaJuq8
"Cool," said Jisoo. "If we had a chance to vote and you were one of the candidates, I would definitely vote for you."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5akSLuKGTD
"Fine with me," said Seunghoon. "As long as there's someone who is going to push us to do our best, I wouldn't have thought of anyone better."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75SIKDSP3B
"Ya, that's my best friend right there," said Zoey, showing her love and support.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡymR6CHqL3u
"Thanks guys," I said. "Okay, we will get to work real soon. We just have to sort ourselves out with food and snacks first."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp7jpF6D1X
"I can do that," said Lee as she headed for the landline.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR8gMx7CS6
"Thanks, Lee. I better go get my guitar. The music isn't going to play itself."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzLDVI42aA
As I made my way out of the lounge and Lee was on the landline, I noticed the others talk amongst themselves. They sounded more calm and happy. That was a good sign.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kDE5QTmkx
I went to my room to get the guitar I was given by Yang Hyun-suk when we went to film our music video at the water park. I had packed it in the closet. It was in a black guitar case with the initials "B.K" written in white. I removed the case and placed it on my bed. I opened the case and removed the guitar. I hadn't played the instrument for a while and I realised how much I had missed it.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zZf9OaZb8
I went back to the lounge with the guitar in hand. I passed Lee who was still talking on the landline.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3hcVLNoEm
"Wait, is that the guitar Yang Hyun-suk gave you when you went to shoot your music video?" Jinwoo asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHtrtx2gu7
"Yes, it is," I replied as I settled the guitar next to the side arm of one of the empty couches.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfjvf7bEAu
"Cool. So, when can we start on the song? I'm just dying to hear it."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbzDvZnyBX
"You guys will have to wait a little longer if you don't want to be disturbed by what's coming," said Lee after she put the receiver down.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSEhPrwJNu
"What's going on, Lee?" I asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv4FDE3XtX
"You're not going to like this. G-Dragon is here."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRBFfswjwD
"What!" Zoey exclaimed as she stood up from the floor. "Why is he here?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYPvWQ8jH6
"This is bad. Real bad," said Daniel as he shook his head and had a disappointed look on his face.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOpDXbrwH7
"We should have thought of sealing this place up if we knew he was coming," said Christine.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8lroFhdMb
"Are we missing something here?" Rosé asked. "This is G-Dragon we are talking about. Why do you worry if he comes here?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd5hvMOL6b
"Goodness," said Daniel as he looked at Rosé. "Don't you guys remember?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdx6fLWSey
"Remember what?" Mino asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡE92ExNzsw2
"That there was one person who didn't like the idea of BTW becoming official?" I asked. "Now he is here and he isn't going to stop taunting us."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdTJYWOaG5
"Aigoo," said Jennie as she hit her forehead. "How can I forget?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1n7vXAEMd
"Now that we are all here, he's definitely going to taunt us for sure," said Seungyoon.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRhOoqdUQh
"He wouldn't be here if he didn't know about the album and all of BTW meeting at this point in time. So, how did he know?" I asked as I turned to look at Zoey.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE8mGBG28i
"Don't look at me," she said as she raised her hands. "I didn't tell him anything, I swear."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8bpp9y9wX
"I didn't say anything to him either," said Mike.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvoyCu5sU9
"Me neither," said Daniel.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ3r6TvHGu
"Ummm," said Lisa. Everyone's eyes flew to her. "I might have told him on our way here."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dXcIhp7Zr
Everyone muttered out loud, including myself, in disapproval. This wasn't good.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1nSQyFo5B
"I'm sorry, guys," said Lisa with a guilty look on her face. "I didn't know it would be such a big deal if he knew."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfP0gInORo
"He was going to know anyway," I said. "We just didn't want him to know today when we want to start working on a song."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wnd2JYGxg
"I bet he is one floor away from us right now," said Seunghoon.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡlthe5wSfPZ
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4ArHedqKL
"We can't do anything," I said. "If he's going to taunt us, then so be it."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3X4aVfsiA
"Really? I'm going to jump on him like a bobcat and seal his mouth shut if we don't come up with a plan."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCt9bZduXS
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "sorry, Zoey. If we knew like thirty minutes ago that he was coming, we would have thought of something. It's too late now."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡt682NKoW1t
The lounge became quiet when we heard the sound of the elevator. Great, he was here. Everyone else in the lounge didn't say a word as we heard footsteps in the hall.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuZkAmFXAk
I could feel Zoey beside me grow tense. Everybody was. It felt like we were in a horror movie and were waiting for the worst case scenario when the bogeyman shows up. In this case, our bogeyman was G-Dragon.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡA15ISJGo46
He soon appeared in the lounge and just like most of us, he wore simple casual clothes. He stopped when he noticed all of us looking at him.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7MyqbMFe5
"Morning, everyone," he said as he took his black shades off of his eyes. He even had a smug smile on his face. "It's fancy meeting you all this lovely morning."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWvppy9Gm6
This time, it didn't feel like a horror movie. It was something else entirely. With that smile on G-Dragon's face, we all became irritated. I felt like going with Zoey's plan, attack him and seal his mouth shut.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡiODxVp8fLP
"What's wrong with everyone?" he asked when no one responded to his greeting. "Aren't you going to greet me? Remember that that isn't respectful."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QODmqFcCK
"Sam, please talk to him before I put my hands on his neck," said Zoey, through her clenched teeth.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W212ZH6Mv
I rolled my eyes and I walked over to him. We were looking straight at each other.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zvgK1EHj8
"May I ask what you're doing here?" I asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoYuiEBXYp
"I just came by to say hi to you all," he replied with a smile on his face.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2807KDd4Kv
"Really? Aren't you surprised that BlackPink and WINNER are here?" I asked as I folded my arms.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ4orgarkC
G-Dragon looked at everyone in the room. Everyone else looked like they were about to tear him apart like hungry wolves. His eyes flew back to me.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGvgirqQ0r
"Why should I? After all, you guys are doing something for you to meet, right?" he chuckled.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3vUwo3Non
"I know Lisa informed you, so don't you act smart, GD."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYfNnjwHEm
"I'm not. I just wanted to see what you all are up to. By the looks on everyone's faces, you're all very upset. What's up?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcVgXV47f4
"We had a rough morning, as you can see. And you being here is just making things worse."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡATz70JC9We
"Really? I wasn't the one who wanted BTW to be a thing, did I?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3epGX91ccG
"Okay, you're not helping," I said as I quickly approached him and I did what I should have done before he even opened his mouth.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWMYAMxIaX
Kick him out.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jij8M9P3I
I took hold of his shoulders and I quickly turned him around. He was surprised by my strength as I started to push him out of the lounge with my hands on his back.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89mGOpmt9l
"Whoa! Sam, what are you doing?" he asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡpliF2MqSan
"What do you think?" I asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwhBosUP4a
Before I could drag him out into the hall, he turned around and looked at me.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEY7ry92N1
"Are you kicking me out?" he asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNnlASh60d
"Is that what's happening?" I asked sounding clueless as I put my hands on my hips. "It seems so."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMx2Du3Ply
"What did I do? I haven't done anything wrong."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNhSWn5mLg
"You being here is already wrong to begin with. And I'm sorry, but nobody wants you around, including me. That's if you want all of us to attack you."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2zlr1MEwW
"You wouldn't do it even if you wanted to."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OrOHcKXSV
I took a step to the side and pointed at Zoey's angry face. "Do you see her face right now? We know why you're here and all we want to do is get to work. You being here will prove to be a distraction because you will just taunt us."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhpbNxLAbs
"But I want to stay. I promise, I won't say a word."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw6PL3paEg
I shook my head at him. "I can't trust you to be quiet. Your presence isn't needed here."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZtcMF4M57
I held his shoulders again and turned him around like I did before. This time, I managed to take him out into the hall, heading to the elevator.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡesb7vq5SEC
"Come on, Sam," said G-Dragon. It's good that he didn't fight back or else terrible things would have happened. "I really want to stay."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVNud1FN7b
We stopped in front of the elevator and I pressed the down button to summon the elevator. The doors soon flew open and I continued to drag G-Dragon into the elevator. I quickly pressed the button to the ground floor and I quickly stepped out. I turned to look at him and he did the same to look at me.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6DrWTCh6k
"You're really kicking me out?" he asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDdopzhNRy
"Yes, I am," I said.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoCglvkAr9
G-Dragon looked at me with a surprised look on his face as the doors started to close. He would be back for us, that's for sure. But for now, he just had to go.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgKnUBqoZi
Just before the doors closed shut, I threw him a hand salute and I winked at him at the same time. I might have seen him blush in those last moments. I really couldn't tell. I was just glad he was gone.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBcASFA1iv
"Oooh! Sam, you're my hero," said Zoey as she came into the hall and hugged me from behind. "I don't know what I would have done without you."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63Eo8z3Lxd
"Don't praise me just yet," I said as I detached her arms around my neck. "Knowing G-Dragon, he isn't going to give in that easily."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRlrTCkRC4
Zoey and I made our way back into the lounge. I could tell the others were still uneasy despite G-Dragon leaving.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKiiTAG5Gj
"What do you mean he isn't going to give up?" Zoey asked. "You just kicked him out."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2TuGkdXSC
"He will come back in one way or another," I said. "I bet he won't even leave the hotel premises."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡRake8C39YX
"Can you really be sure about that?" Seungyoon asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhfnmY5iMH
"Not really, no."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6ecLXrYOR
"So, before he comes back, we better start working on that song," said Jisoo.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkS4o3StZS
"You're right. Let's start. Hopefully, there will be no more distractions. Daniel, pass me my notebook, please."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8sq0xc6TJ
Daniel, still seated on the floor, stretched out his hand to give me the note book. I took it and went over to the dining table and got myself a chair. I put the chair in front of everyone so that I would face them like before. I took the guitar and sat. I settled the note book on the arm chair of the couch close to me.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡDELjiv8oUh
"Okay, everyone, let's get started," I said as I looked at everyone else in the room.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJle2ph9nz
I then started to explain to the others what the song was all about. They were a number of questions that came from the BlackPink and WINNER members who were a bit confused. The song talked about a sad song so they wondered how it was going to sound fun for those listening. After explaining to them in more detail, they finally got the hint. I was just about to read out the lyrics for the chorus when my phone that was lying on the empty couch next to me, started to ring.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHStsO37eB
"Who could be calling me right now?" I asked as I picked up the phone. "Hello?" I asked after I answered the call.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKLNt09OKS
"Hey, Sam, can I come up now?" came G-Dragon's voice.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsAIvwxjD9
"What the-?" I stared at my phone as though at any moment, it would have teeth and bite me. I placed back the phone to my ear. "Why aren't you calling me using your phone?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkQjKy2KwL
"If I called using my phone, you wouldn't pick up."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmJIenCQOl
I rolled my eyes. He got that one right.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbcosg54cc
"And to answer your question, no. You can't come here," I said.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0sgRXGiql
I cut the phone and put it back down on the couch.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYzxxkknVt
"That was G-Dragon?" Christine asked. I nodded my head. "What's his problem?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZErGIAAKi
"He wants to come back up here," I answered. "Let's just ignore that he even called."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW94r4UHmq
I picked up the notebook on the couch and just as I was about to read out the lyrics, Zoey's phone rang. She immediately stood up from the floor and excused herself as she went out of the lounge to take the call.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1pbxe31tQ
Since Zoey knew the lyrics, I opened my mouth to read them out when we all heard her raise her voice.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQUAw0HfNH
"For crying out loud, Jiyong, no one wants you up here!" she exclaimed. "Good day!"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡL36LcH9cVS
"Ooh," said Daniel as he looked behind him towards the hall. "Zoey is really angry."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw0OtjBnR8
Zoey came back into the lounge and she did look angry. But instead of complaining, she came and sat back down on the floor.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuRK5It6jR
"We can continue," she said to me as though nothing had happened.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlanGGGnSH
I looked at her first before I looked at everybody else in the room. I had a feeling one of our phones were going to ring, so, I took a long pause before getting back to business.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy4sB3I7n7
"Sam, what's the hold up?" Rosé asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfVv8006nv
"Just checking that we won't have another call from G-Dragon," I answered.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFbSnJqzXr
"No one's phone is ringing," said Jinwoo. "We can carry on."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUmfkVJWkn
"Okay," I said. My sixth sense on high alert.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBHvBBPU12
I looked at the notebook and as I read the lyrics in my head, I started to think of the tune I thought of earlier and how I was going to play it. I strummed a few strings on the guitar until the tune felt just right. I played the tune over and over again so that I would never forget it. I turned to look at everyone seated in front of me and they were all listening attentively. I noticed Seunghoon unconsciously move his head up and down, enjoying the tune.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdzM7vLCCR
I started to sing out the first lyrics when all of the sudden, the landline started to ring. But since Lee was already there and was expecting calls from reporters, she quickly picked up the phone. A few seconds on the phone and she soon interrupted me.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡXImKS6as4r
"Sam," she called out to me. I stopped what I was doing as I turned to look at her.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1h8u4fDPe
"What is it?" I asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡCscRgYx9NQ
"It's G-Dragon," she answered. "Apparently, he's causing quite a scene in the lobby and the receptionist needs you down there immediately."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡychPbWF4Zr
Many of us muttered. G-Dragon really wasn't going to quit. And I had mentioned that he wouldn't just a few minutes ago.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA3CXT91ua
"Why can't they just call security?" Jennie asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk1CQ32G30
Lee winced. "I'm afraid they can't do that," she said. "He plans on suing every hotel staff if they dare try and touch him. He wants Sam to go down there and bring him back up here."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCeIhHaYkK
I sighed. I had to admit, he was very clever. Seems like he won this round. But the battle was far from over.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMbpr6aJ0d
"Fine," I said as I stood up and put the guitar down on the couch.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxhIjBSoc9
"Are you sure?" Lisa asked. "You know we don't need him here."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡysHsE8PSmw
"We don't want the hotel management to launch a complaint against us, do we? We have no choice. We bring him up here but I'll make sure to shut him up, if necessary."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOLh73TQCt
"We would have been done with the chorus by now if it wasn't for him," said Zoey.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZNoljYshk
"Don't worry, Zoey," I said. "This time I'll give you the chance to attack him when I tell you to."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Q4EPqEm3
Zoey rubbed her hands together as she had a devious smile on her face. "Ooh, I'll do it with pleasure."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxzarVsDml
"I don't want to know what Zoey is going to do," said Mino.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWtwQVKy34
"Neither of us want to," I said.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx3pU5oVZn
I started to make my way out of the lounge and approached the elevator. I heard footsteps behind me as soon as I pressed the down button of the elevator. I turned to see who it was. It was Christine and Seungyoon.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFU6CbytnV
"We're coming with you," said Seungyoon.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPteL8iKf1
"Okay," I said. "But it's not like I can't handle him."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡINZz9NjMT0
"We know," said Christine. "We just want to help in any way we can."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkVjXLOw6z
I smiled at the both of them and the elevator doors flew open behind me.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS5SI0krUd
"Okay," I said. "Let's go get ourselves a dragon."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVw3SmgURd
The three of us entered the elevator and Seungyoon pressed the button to the ground floor. The elevator doors closed before us and it started to move.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrsG3c2zu5
"G-Dragon is really taking things too far, isn't he?" Christine asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡlisM9MD8RC
"Yep," I agreed.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡK274zJszdP
The elevator continued to move until we found ourselves on the ground floor. As soon as the doors flew open, we saw that the people's attention in the lobby was focused on something. We had no doubt it was G-Dragon. The three of us got out of the elevator and joined the crowd.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bpA6BCqGH
G-Dragon was in the middle of the lobby and he looked to be standing on something because he was taller than anyone else in the room. Some of the people who watched also had their phones drawn out, capturing G-Dragon. We found him in the middle of his speech talking about something, but in Korean.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrga0jofGK
"What's he saying, Seungyoon?" Christine asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXqTeGLNiQ
"Umm," Seungyoon continued to listen until he turned to Christine and I. "He says he's going to do something if Sam doesn't come to get him."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDOuWrAFxV
"Sometimes, I wonder if he came here already drunk," I said.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWEIb4sVGd
"Don't you think we should do something before he really does what he said he will do?" Christine asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMed8tmJ1B
"Ya, we should. We really have to stop this nonsense. Seungyoon, may you lead the way?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnkGxmyZ7t
Seungyoon slowly made his way into the crowd, excusing himself as he went. Christine and I followed behind him until we got to where G-Dragon was. He was actually standing on a tall wooden stool. G-Dragon soon saw us and he smiled.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGsKFL3OxM
"Hey, GD," I said to him. "May you please come down from there? You might hurt yourself."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkaTzvZFDj
"Okay, since you asked me to, I'll do it," he said. He soon addressed the crowd and I heard him give out an apology with his hands together. I guess he explained the reason why he wasn't going to do what he did since I was here.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ewp1olHnb
The crowd that had gathered to watch soon let out sighs of disapproval like their favourite show had just been cancelled. Soon, they slowly started to disperse, heading back to what they were doing before G-Dragon made a scene. I saw a few young people take pictures and videos of us.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBzdpDt4LN
"Goodness," said G-Dragon as he came down the stool. "I'm so glad you came just in time."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0HuFGdJU9
"Why?" I asked as I folded my arms. "You were about to do some silly stunt that would land you in the hospital, weren't you?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2qv6FoNgc
G-Dragon raised an eyebrow at me. He seemed startled and that was a sign that I was right.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGcZY76txO
"Well..., not really," he said as he scratched the back of his head.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d5th3xvmU
"I know we have only known each other for a few weeks, but I think I know when you're on the verge of doing something ridiculous."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C7eICA93e
"Have I ever done anything ridiculous in front of you?" G-Dragon asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡztRLPbFEXr
"I just know," I said. "There was a time when you took the other Toxins with you to the water park. That was silly of you because we had an interview and you never picked up any of my calls. Secondly, you dropped me into the pool in the most dramatic way possible."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0IXOZQPom
"Wow, he dropped you into the pool?" Seungyoon asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI9A3Q8lpS
"Yep," I answered Seungyoon. "That was when I knew how to determine if he was going to do anything ridiculous like that ever again."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ3QugwQYA
"Okay, you got me," said G-Dragon. "There is just no out smarting you, is there?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFaSd04l1h
"Come on. We have wasted so much time down here. We have a song to work on."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oLgWVgEk1
I started my way towards the elevator, Christine and Seungyoon followed alongside me with G-Dragon behind us.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXwmNWMzRT
We soon found ourselves in the elevator, G-Dragon being the last to enter. We soon felt the elevator move and for a moment, there was silence.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuJAdEgPys
"So, umm," G-Dragon said to break the silence. "Zoey is going to kill me, isn't she?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7psmIrLnmM
"No doubt about that," said Seungyoon.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7uJfxWzhB
"So, this is how it's going to work," I said as I stared at G-Dragon's back as he was standing in front of me. "You're going to mind your own business when we get to our floor. Any nonsense from you and I won't be able to control my best friend when she attacks, got it?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6MC6NfzBU
He turned around to look at me. "Does that mean you're going to let her attack me?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv0zLP42eL
Christine smiled at him. "Do we have a choice?" she asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡN75GClY9Og
We soon arrived on our floor and I was glad to see that there was no one standing outside the elevator. While we were in it, I thought of Zoey and the four BlackPink members waiting outside with duct tape and some rope so as to tie and shut G-Dragon up. That didn't seem like a very bad idea. We should have done that to him in the first place.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOmilMuquy
We walked out of the elevator and headed for the lounge, when G-Dragon started to announce to the others:copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8AffD2OSt
"Hey, people. I'm back!"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOBgQ5gmBp
As soon as we entered the lounge, we found everyone else looking back at us. They hadn't moved from where they sat. Lee on the other hand, was on the phone, engaged in a conversation. But her eyes flew towards G-Dragon, and I could tell how irritated she was that he was back.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K2Vmj2fpP
"I see no one missed me," said G-Dragon.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqqJVTHKMQ
"Don't worry, we were planning for your funeral," said Zoey as she looked at him from the floor. "I bet in that way, we will greatly miss you."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrC0tTUU6N
"Yep," said Jennie.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgENLGVni6
"You guys are just vultures," said G-Dragon as he came to sit on the empty couch where my guitar rested.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx20GZu8UH
"Says the person who only came here to make fun of us about us making an album," said Mino.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjQN2wkHIU
"Sam warned me that I should keep my mouth shut. And I'm going to do just that."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aININzr02
"Good," I said as I made my way to sit on the chair I had sat on earlier. Seungyoon and Christine went back to where they previously sat too. "I'm glad you understood my warning. Now, I want you to go to the dining area and sit there."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LlNWRnPEy
"What?" G-Dragon looked baffled by my request.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkpiV4vA24
I nudged my head towards the dinning table. "You heard me. I want you to go over there and sit. And you won't say a word. Or else, I'll tell Zoey to work on that mouth of yours."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNB1zfTCHq
G-Dragon turned to look at Zoey sitting next to him with his mouth silently open for he was trying to say something, but no word came out. Zoey on the other hand, waved at him with a devious smile on her face.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJSE0dNP6B
"Wait, Sam," he said as he turned to look at me. "What if I want to give you some advice on what you're working on?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv7R74DHBq
"We will simply ask," said Rosé.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58IWiVXSa2
"That's your answer," I said. "Now, can you please leave?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n0AKzUDXK
G-Dragon didn't like the idea of him sitting in the dining area. It could show all over his face.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4QcwPnsWW
"You're so unfair," he said. "You know, I'm older than-"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZBcdTmtMJ
At the same time, all of us interrupted him by telling him to move out and go to the dining area. We said different things at the same time that there was a clash of words and a lot of noise. Some of us even pointed to him towards the dining area as if we were telling a child to go to their room after doing something wrong.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wV0PzyysT
G-Dragon quickly stood up from his seat and made his way to the dining area. As much as he tried to hide that he wasn't upset, we could tell from his body language that he was.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0Iomf4idG
"Okay," I said after I heard G-Dragon pulling out a chair and dragging it across the floor. "Let's get back to business, shall we?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zMc5QvHnp
And for a good fifteen minutes, we continued working on the song with no distractions. Apparently, G-Dragon was behaving quite well without interrupting us. He had Lee for company when she wasn't picking up any calls. As for us, working on the song turned out to be quite fun.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiOucUlvlE
It was almost close to lunch time and Lee ordered sandwiches for us. They were soon brought up by two of the hotel staff. It was then that I declared that we take a break and have something to eat.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sierhwyMH
"Goodness, I'm starving," said Daniel as he was the first to stand up and approach the serving trolleys where there seemed to be a stockpile of tuna and salmon sandwiches.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpjKPAqDzX
"Me too," said Lisa. "I never thought I would be so hungry."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡroPqfJCTHz
"Hey!" G-Dragon asked as he came over from the dining area. "Am I allowed to say something now?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDwG3szX7I
I stood up from my chair after putting my guitar aside and gave myself a good stretch. After I was done, I noticed that G-Dragon was looking at me. I turned to look at him.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FgJNnJq8I
"What?" I asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHMTrxY3Ff
"Am I allowed to speak?" he asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6gCeOk5rQ
"Oh, ya, we're on a break. But no funny comments on the album thing. You did a good job keeping to yourself back there."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡERperlhA17
"What choice did I have?" he asked as he looked at Zoey who had just stood up from the floor. She realised that he was talking about her.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR6NXRAXCG
"Don't look at me, like that," she said. "You brought this on yourself."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJjLhg6mLR
"Really? It's not my fault that you guys are making a-"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm1cm16KXJ
"Shhh!" Daniel warned him. "No comment on the album, remember? And, Lee," he turned to look at Lee, who was at the time, seated in the dining area, "aren't you coming to eat with us? You know some of us won't spare these lovely looking sandwiches."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R9hdxeHEH
"For you to call them 'lovely' you're starving," said Lee as she came over to where Daniel was with the food.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡj467bgnqfx
"He isn't the only one," said Seunghoon.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UnNfZg1Ge
"Okay, guys, let's go eat," said Mike.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡapxPK0KQPc
Everyone else made a line by the serving trolley while one of the hotel staff who brought up the food, served us. The other was serving everyone else drinks in glass cups. I decided to stay behind while I watched the rest of my team complain about how hungry they were.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IwSl1dwSN
"Hey," said G-Dragon as he came to stand beside me. "Aren't you hungry?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AQCmNh8Dg
"I am, but at the moment, I don't have much of an appetite," I answered.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdLXrXtrGz
"Why? Because of what you're working on?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbV8GASJGR
I stared at him with my eyebrow raised and he quickly went straight to cover his mouth. I could tell how scared he was that I ended up laughing at him. In the end, he knew I was just messing with him as he slowly dropped his hand.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2pAHWfJxP
"You should really see your face right now," I said as I continued to laugh.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92YhFVwmx7
"You're so mean, you know that?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPH4BOtk1z
"Really? I thought I was nice."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4OUAqjT85
G-Dragon ended up smiling as he said, "you are. But there are times when you seem pretty mean and sarcastic."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNunNUh67R
"Am like that when I'm dealing with something serious and I need everyone to focus and not mess around."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKvf9fgKUD
"Mmm. Now I see why you're The Toxins leader. Wait a minute, who's the leader of BTW?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZP2I9exrU
"Who do you think?" Daniel responded to G-Dragon's question as he was carrying a plate with two sandwiches on it, a glass of juice in his other hand and heading for the dining table to eat from there.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpYA2TGV3s
G-Dragon turned to me and pointed his finger at me. In response, I nodded my head.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSOnz1OijS
"Well, I'm not at all surprised," he said. "This group needs a leader like you."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD2zqnx20D
"Depends on how much trouble they will give me. Then I can easily quit and give the responsibility over to Zoey or Mino."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡidy7IjgJnm
"Haha!" came Zoey with her plate and cup as she settled in the lounge area on one of the chairs. "Tell me you're kidding, Sam?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡTljoYF55Jh
"Of course she is," said Mino as he came to join Zoey after getting his plate. "She can't simply give up and give either you or me the responsibility."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5b8lYALoP
I raised an eyebrow at them and even though they were right, I would like to put them to the task at some point and see how it feels being on my end for a while.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuqlcaPKPV
"Anyway, I wanted to tell you that the song you're working on sounds awesome," said G-Dragon.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE1H3OOOcu
"Thanks," Zoey, Mino and I said at the same time.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYWlI6Yw94
"May you two come over here and get your food, please," said Lee as she already had a plate and heading towards the dining table to join Daniel. "Daniel here might go for another round and there will be no sandwiches left."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdVF8ckHL3
"She's not kidding," said Daniel. He had already finished his first sandwich and now, he was half way down with his second.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKtJEzocaG
"My brother has an appetite," I said as I looked at him.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡkemjSkkBsS
"Well, you already knew that," said Christine as she also came to join Mino and Zoey on the couch.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5tsiylBPl
"Come on, GD. Let's go get our sandwiches."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71Dx22EiPg
"Goodness, I haven't been online for a long time now," said Jennie as she and Lisa went over to join the others in the lounge area.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIsnwRqacn
"Oh!" Zoey said. "I also haven't been online too. I might miss out on the juicy gossip."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡAndtnu0zIb
"You worry about what's going on that isn't much of your concern," said Mike.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYYHUVQCx3
"Please, Mike," said Zoey. "You almost sound like your sister. Where did I put my phone....? Ah!! Mino, can you pass me your phone, it's right next to you."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YgTKPAtJf
I looked over at Mino and Zoey and I saw him pass over the phone to her. As she ate, she managed to scroll through her phone checking on who knows what.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs0B9yUzPU
G-Dragon was right behind me in the line. We were the last two to get our sandwiches. Everyone else was seated in the lounge area, so, I decided to join Lee and Daniel at the dining table. I was also going to give Daniel the good news that there were plenty more sandwiches left.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ784dQL1EfI
After I got my sandwiches and my juice, I started my way to the dining table when I heard Zoey behind me ask:copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsFs2SXvXq
"Hey, Sam, what happened downstairs with G-Dragon? I see some posts here. And is that G-Dragon on some stool or something?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVxVqaHZGj
"You don't want to know," said Seungyoon.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4nxgPxNvF
"I would trust what he says if I were you," said G-Dragon.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxd3cotlV4
"Whatever," said Zoey as I sat next to my brother at the dining table. "You shouldn't be taking up people's time for nothing. You're such a distraction."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vypa4GGpW
"A handsome distraction," said G-Dragon and I caught him just in time smiling at the others.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx6EVJZEOR
"I beg to differ," I muttered under my breath that only Lee and Daniel could hear. In the end, they started to laugh.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOG1tRY4Di
"What is it?" G-Dragon asked, making his way towards the dining table.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg6eCW5RzP
"Nothing," Daniel managed to say, trying to keep his laughter in.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hh46Qi5rI
"There are more sandwiches for you if want some," I told him.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1ILlnfs1w
"Yes, more for me." Daniel stood up from his seat as he quickly rushed over to the trolley, passing G-Dragon in flashing speed.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21usPWmTYA
G-Dragon went to sit next to Lee across the table. I munched on my sandwich as I looked up at G-Dragon. He was staring at me.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKsfN7Gy9e
"What?" I asked after I swallowed.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfgyeA2gBS
"Nothing," he said. "And here I thought you weren't hungry."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LeBM6dGOv
"I need to eat at some point, don't I?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxgjx12xSH
"Sam isn't much of a eater," said Lee. "If she works on a song and doesn't eat the whole day, she tires out and sleeps without even thinking of eating at all."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WflvzCrsl
"Ya, working on a song makes me forget to eat," I said. "That's why it's good to have people around to monitor me just in case."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWGkykWeVg
"I also look out for you too," said Daniel as he came back with two more sandwiches.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvZPzQ7GSQ
I smiled at him. "I know you do."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RNVIJtEx9
"Well, someone over here is barely eating at all as she is busy looking at the phone," said Jisoo.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l9uLtyuXT
"Sorry," said Zoey. "I'll put my phone down in three.., two..., one..."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHmZPqy8D4
I looked over at Zoey and I noticed that she still had the phone in her hand. I furrowed my eyebrows. Usually when she does her countdown to stop doing something, she does it. But this time, she didn't put her phone away.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB1hrQjna5
"Hey, Zoey, are you okay?" Mino asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NO7snbnzy
"Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no, no, no!" Zoey muttered to herself.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XiY8huzC4
"That many 'nos'," said Lee as she also looked over at Zoey. "Something is definitely wrong."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMesaqNZtb
"Hey, Zoey, what is it?" Christine asked.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w7GIN0Jqr
"Hold this for me, will you?" Zoey gave Mino her plate as she stood up from the couch. "Sam!!" she called out to me as she came running over to the dining table.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgMKB21iIi
"Zoey? What's wrong?" I asked as I stood up from my seat.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb45rwA1ie
"He's here, Sam, he's here," she said waving her hands in the air.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsSIVVTNHX
"Who are you talking about?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCWdKSD4vp
"Johnny. Johnny Jerkins is here!"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDWXp2tZRA
"What?!" me and the rest of the other Toxins responded at the same time. We all couldn't believe the news.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoQqwIAkWj
"And guess what?" Zoey continued. "He knows we are here and he will be residing in this hotel."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfkReTFfSe
"We're doomed. We're so doomed," Christine muttered to herself as she held her head in despair.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ42PYDL6CW
I took Zoey's phone and checked it out. Daniel also stood up to see for himself. Zoey wasn't kidding. He had posted on Twitter about his whereabouts a few minutes ago. He was here in Korea.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6wGTXyA3G
"Great! As though G-Dragon wasn't much of a distraction, now we have to deal with Johnny," said Mike.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡuML3Vwz4P5
"Some of us are lost here," said G-Dragon. "Who is this Johnny?"copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHbJvYRHpz
Daniel and Zoey looked at me. This meant we had no choice but to tell everyone about Johnny. The five of us Toxins didn't like to talk about him, not going much into details.copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvAkS4DPfH
"Fine," I said. "We will tell you."copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVBX8sWagt
