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?696Please respect copyright.PENANAvWhtBgPyUY
696Please respect copyright.PENANAapdbDQENOO
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.696Please respect copyright.PENANALcyzfCQxCm
696Please respect copyright.PENANA6POhBZnD1T
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.696Please respect copyright.PENANA2TzD77KDBC
696Please respect copyright.PENANAuUNDKF1njT
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.696Please respect copyright.PENANAEv9yZ75hNQ
696Please respect copyright.PENANACG41oXW4wF
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.696Please respect copyright.PENANAJFEN2WHhkW
696Please respect copyright.PENANA47MKyvWfcu
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.696Please respect copyright.PENANAxqtiKvQMi0
696Please respect copyright.PENANALLMjzlU7o4
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.696Please respect copyright.PENANAmY24OMHPLk
696Please respect copyright.PENANAvOfOx0Jphk
"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?"696Please respect copyright.PENANAeP0KAFxoVg
696Please respect copyright.PENANAkBfySspNjA
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."696Please respect copyright.PENANAP4BHOvEv5j
696Please respect copyright.PENANAYCMaHLbPZ4
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.696Please respect copyright.PENANALmgZGjITVU
696Please respect copyright.PENANACUFwEi3TX0
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.696Please respect copyright.PENANAxzAZnQHeM6
696Please respect copyright.PENANAJtNpZdlByD
"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.696Please respect copyright.PENANA5XqJwFgU9N
696Please respect copyright.PENANAAPANSHz8Wd
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAZErscs9VXi
696Please respect copyright.PENANA2fiIQBWq5i
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.696Please respect copyright.PENANAH4TIoBTLxI
696Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8cVEk8NrK
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.696Please respect copyright.PENANAtT1GE9kUCk
696Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6CYZRUu4b
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.696Please respect copyright.PENANAQIpGofoCcL
696Please respect copyright.PENANAPV17khvbq8
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAVyjESjk0oj
696Please respect copyright.PENANAhCYWNtSGG7
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANAb1ckydKCqH
696Please respect copyright.PENANA8hzTr9JvaX
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."696Please respect copyright.PENANANyAMpkD0s0
696Please respect copyright.PENANA64fsGqX1Pt
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.696Please respect copyright.PENANAm3yc1CUA38
696Please respect copyright.PENANAjC7JgvEspg
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAH3a7nUeoPH
696Please respect copyright.PENANAjvWTCEjvuw
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANA4RvTMuDXOQ
696Please respect copyright.PENANAD24ExB3S5M
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."696Please respect copyright.PENANA8Gbj5hTgMZ
696Please respect copyright.PENANAahiM9FWMnT
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.696Please respect copyright.PENANAOuluDvmHIA
696Please respect copyright.PENANANREEpNrNeO
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.696Please respect copyright.PENANACVcjBlBVl3
696Please respect copyright.PENANA8EVKCwsBgm
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.696Please respect copyright.PENANAk9eZZl6J5a
696Please respect copyright.PENANAyZF90njEo0
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAmyHIKNsHKa
696Please respect copyright.PENANAVSqaliXhw4
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."696Please respect copyright.PENANAUkVDr1HO8g
696Please respect copyright.PENANAtAWFrrxRdZ
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.696Please respect copyright.PENANA4UsVXQBdQO
696Please respect copyright.PENANAh9XQOBoVb7
"Sometimes I think you cheat."696Please respect copyright.PENANA9UUMNQ6pDc
696Please respect copyright.PENANAQ74GVs3lQK
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAU0qH8ZpI4o
696Please respect copyright.PENANAuGUEXrwTqd
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."696Please respect copyright.PENANAcXOFw4FAG0
696Please respect copyright.PENANAUiySFbQlxK
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.696Please respect copyright.PENANA4n7mtDThIs
696Please respect copyright.PENANATJot5BLEIO
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.696Please respect copyright.PENANAkpKBRhrQnz
696Please respect copyright.PENANAC3VxGkz5rj
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.696Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1bxPsJluQ
696Please respect copyright.PENANAt2Ng9CgeF1
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANANF1QuJglR5
696Please respect copyright.PENANAeKWDoZMmMj
"I better go give them a call, then."696Please respect copyright.PENANAgg1R3yfuza
696Please respect copyright.PENANAOvxRpYCRk9
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAvUwXIVPZHi
696Please respect copyright.PENANASvN8yiTA03
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAS5qml9Gj0o
696Please respect copyright.PENANAunf4Gb3ItT
"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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAMpY4mV1tQG
696Please respect copyright.PENANAkXKdeXSgWu
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANArun9pOHnXF
696Please respect copyright.PENANAR31qpDt8Pg
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAmyRT1Qq8sN
696Please respect copyright.PENANAMg1yjldXPO
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?696Please respect copyright.PENANA5Jj6pjvly8
696Please respect copyright.PENANAxM8n1uFTmt
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAJztihF1kZR
696Please respect copyright.PENANAxUmaaY9xKB
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.696Please respect copyright.PENANAUMgdQkBBQd
696Please respect copyright.PENANA17qMcJg4Ch
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANAeVc6SUsrpm
696Please respect copyright.PENANACGKjt553gZ
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."696Please respect copyright.PENANALhSXax1VIa
696Please respect copyright.PENANAtKx4UEW6vM
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"696Please respect copyright.PENANAcZoaQCm0hU
696Please respect copyright.PENANAwc2Gq6OLxk
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"696Please respect copyright.PENANAl6nuoWgWed
696Please respect copyright.PENANAfGxIZOAwVz
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAnH6MEX5wd4
696Please respect copyright.PENANAFb7mwcvjbm
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAwVO6zdjWfa
696Please respect copyright.PENANAAS15pNwzt2
"Ya, sure."696Please respect copyright.PENANAllJ2FcCr1b
696Please respect copyright.PENANApBrZIf2Wil
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANACDr7v2faIa
696Please respect copyright.PENANAdNwwdwc6a6
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.696Please respect copyright.PENANANq97cvuyKA
696Please respect copyright.PENANA3CzmMcOmiH
"Anything?" Zoey asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANAvAk699dVVT
696Please respect copyright.PENANAMAhQ4WBlrK
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAY08lQMG5VO
696Please respect copyright.PENANAacbuiCs9Ti
"Okay, well, we can wait."696Please respect copyright.PENANAoqc6XHDAW4
696Please respect copyright.PENANAmiMbypxSKi
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."696Please respect copyright.PENANASu18tqkDKL
696Please respect copyright.PENANAxFCe46OThi
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."696Please respect copyright.PENANAp87J39zq5l
696Please respect copyright.PENANArwQJdYsapF
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."696Please respect copyright.PENANAcaAXkDZuyp
696Please respect copyright.PENANAH0n4gU53tW
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."696Please respect copyright.PENANA0LNp24oedN
696Please respect copyright.PENANA83fmHb6p8g
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."696Please respect copyright.PENANAtZaOWaybXo
696Please respect copyright.PENANA0C5Ga6Xfla
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.696Please respect copyright.PENANAwIh7ZiFSBF
696Please respect copyright.PENANAbkYiNaIuxp
"We can't work on the song without them."696Please respect copyright.PENANA8xJIruyvii
696Please respect copyright.PENANAMAcp3o5Fgg
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."696Please respect copyright.PENANAddgtcwamZI
696Please respect copyright.PENANABanKFSTkNB
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAvHvEJdPLDy
696Please respect copyright.PENANAXu3mDemAhq
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."696Please respect copyright.PENANAGcauCOVx9i
696Please respect copyright.PENANAETdxAhDyk0
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.696Please respect copyright.PENANAJQGzYfPNPt
696Please respect copyright.PENANANeOs1TYSqJ
"Then get your guitar and notebook."696Please respect copyright.PENANAUjg9H52gnm
696Please respect copyright.PENANAagOVjQ95b3
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."696Please respect copyright.PENANAI5ZXXWx5Mo
696Please respect copyright.PENANAmpY1iBSBn7
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"696Please respect copyright.PENANAHB0roXeyfJ
696Please respect copyright.PENANAYBLKGbr8zK
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."696Please respect copyright.PENANAFgK5yWoJoh
696Please respect copyright.PENANA3HY6LJhNm4
"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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAiDiDftoP7s
696Please respect copyright.PENANACwilDmMm88
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAHNAeIr4HPq
696Please respect copyright.PENANAoA2UznOx0Z
"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.696Please respect copyright.PENANABBDGMVUGZf
696Please respect copyright.PENANAVhnnmlyzPC
"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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAgQr3KTy0E1
696Please respect copyright.PENANAzi7j5m74u0
"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?"696Please respect copyright.PENANAth5Ewne5rp
696Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ4UUJoNl8
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.696Please respect copyright.PENANAkodMWdX7jg
696Please respect copyright.PENANAt6EHYhitpQ
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."696Please respect copyright.PENANAV05WLGXSN5
696Please respect copyright.PENANA44xF95RZbr
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.696Please respect copyright.PENANAA1wI4cnkZm
696Please respect copyright.PENANAgh4Nmuri8R
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.696Please respect copyright.PENANAO4Z34x8pgF
696Please respect copyright.PENANAkDmquqM47v
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.696Please respect copyright.PENANAYsrtFahqq6
696Please respect copyright.PENANAod3eBNwrlk
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.696Please respect copyright.PENANAuzysnGcG7U
696Please respect copyright.PENANAI1DLU9VV8y
"Yes, really," I answered.696Please respect copyright.PENANAbiQ4kWuX6a
696Please respect copyright.PENANArjyULEinRX
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAyBK6KJqPlL
696Please respect copyright.PENANA6t6veR55Wd
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."696Please respect copyright.PENANAntP0ul6wgX
696Please respect copyright.PENANAXTaBskxwpx
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.696Please respect copyright.PENANAw65O0EBUp3
696Please respect copyright.PENANAEXobE8JxQC
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.696Please respect copyright.PENANAqqui4V5ewl
696Please respect copyright.PENANAZZQs7r0PK8
"What went well?" Lee asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANAF6bFIT5xxQ
696Please respect copyright.PENANAo0Mb377q3R
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.696Please respect copyright.PENANAkZePTXTQin
696Please respect copyright.PENANAxoJUPD1yEs
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAh8b7ABPyYi
696Please respect copyright.PENANAZhoJlx4Pqh
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANA9Rrjq4vcbi
696Please respect copyright.PENANAp29v182NTG
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.696Please respect copyright.PENANABpqc43dy1g
696Please respect copyright.PENANALzazDN8G7T
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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAnhMQDBf4Es
696Please respect copyright.PENANAWoosfnpFnS
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.696Please respect copyright.PENANA2D6iuXkICJ
696Please respect copyright.PENANAPiiVMSR4od
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAuEaH0Wq5RA
696Please respect copyright.PENANAob2xfFgYl5
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.696Please respect copyright.PENANAAf1YPBQCUr
696Please respect copyright.PENANAGhwiR1kXsp
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.696Please respect copyright.PENANAtb1K7ni0UR
696Please respect copyright.PENANA5Jl4m2F25K
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.696Please respect copyright.PENANAmAvieg4L5n
696Please respect copyright.PENANAg1UfDQoTPN
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.696Please respect copyright.PENANAryg08WRFGq
696Please respect copyright.PENANAuQSeqGjr37
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAaC1VdKCNfS
696Please respect copyright.PENANAUcg2NXMbvz
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.696Please respect copyright.PENANAWWNHllIqo1
696Please respect copyright.PENANAPEV9AumQR5
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANAQcWRFhzTqC
696Please respect copyright.PENANAffYYsebTAi
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.696Please respect copyright.PENANAdbDffOm011
696Please respect copyright.PENANA0JTD5g58Db
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."696Please respect copyright.PENANABKDBE4f5Qf
696Please respect copyright.PENANAh7LjdTIANN
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"696Please respect copyright.PENANAL9iAXopNVD
696Please respect copyright.PENANAW5KfPfbX7t
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAYdFnUTWAwF
696Please respect copyright.PENANAEE0v7jvvYb
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"696Please respect copyright.PENANAQGDVP7BdhO
696Please respect copyright.PENANAsUEjbjSYDX
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."696Please respect copyright.PENANADYZFFf185p
696Please respect copyright.PENANARG1RS67gz3
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.696Please respect copyright.PENANAqYyRjcmw0q
696Please respect copyright.PENANAOkOUaQq4WV
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."696Please respect copyright.PENANAwGhc4s15VE
696Please respect copyright.PENANAUTG4NSHDGz
"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?"696Please respect copyright.PENANAE0zDQZnq8J
696Please respect copyright.PENANA3sL7cx3r6k
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.696Please respect copyright.PENANA9DIHsdEnXx
696Please respect copyright.PENANAGPnffkFsLN
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.696Please respect copyright.PENANAFwOBB9TO1q
696Please respect copyright.PENANAehZp3pcr2f
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"696Please respect copyright.PENANA3wsXIaNj0J
696Please respect copyright.PENANAbmHtLagQny
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.696Please respect copyright.PENANAYHf1i1fxf3
696Please respect copyright.PENANAUhv8Nojajd
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.696Please respect copyright.PENANAzLhPs6jXQR
696Please respect copyright.PENANAl9ZVtiXsk9
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAsxPE1gHBGh
696Please respect copyright.PENANAliyeNyOq8F
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.696Please respect copyright.PENANAWubRbI40cF
696Please respect copyright.PENANA2JbydLZIb7
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"696Please respect copyright.PENANABldIUut5CY
696Please respect copyright.PENANASxgWRxLRaL
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANA57PGE0gpBg
696Please respect copyright.PENANAA2GPwkqDFL
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAFf62GNh7ms
696Please respect copyright.PENANAiAG15jhGaA
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANArMuTatW0Hl
696Please respect copyright.PENANAL91s4Nsq1P
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAL24tmqksAs
696Please respect copyright.PENANARNzDUOPD9A
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."696Please respect copyright.PENANAx08JN4PPTd
696Please respect copyright.PENANADGppDiAsnf
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."696Please respect copyright.PENANA54HHyOI6dL
696Please respect copyright.PENANAGmYGcu2bPI
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.696Please respect copyright.PENANAlAj76R0MRq
696Please respect copyright.PENANAbKWMk9op07
"What is it?" Christine asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANAZSK2fvnQz5
696Please respect copyright.PENANAk42GC3RhGR
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.696Please respect copyright.PENANAUzAETAzoXJ

"He's here," I said.696Please respect copyright.PENANAyarH7Awfxm
696Please respect copyright.PENANAhmg9YTPbwl
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"696Please respect copyright.PENANA0aPcT3ARTY
696Please respect copyright.PENANAJys2Be182R
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.696Please respect copyright.PENANAi3APYrqoeo
696Please respect copyright.PENANAvr6TCRkZqt
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.696Please respect copyright.PENANAIDOBeErXKd
696Please respect copyright.PENANAUNPQRqNXUJ
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.696Please respect copyright.PENANAGQCXRvuaZE
696Please respect copyright.PENANA1VOwkQuT0x
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"696Please respect copyright.PENANAW7ITcdsjDI
696Please respect copyright.PENANAsytwBX0uHq
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.696Please respect copyright.PENANAnOAUPmG1Iy
696Please respect copyright.PENANAYIMG4aoSRs
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."696Please respect copyright.PENANAcUWngpmSX5
696Please respect copyright.PENANAqEFkTsPLYF
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANAEJlZpArPQ8
696Please respect copyright.PENANAyK02NpKEuo
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.696Please respect copyright.PENANAoOA2OrC0nS
696Please respect copyright.PENANAKO3gJCQSJW
"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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAXxXhNo957U
696Please respect copyright.PENANAkzs5smVk76
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.696Please respect copyright.PENANAq3aBdjtxHN
696Please respect copyright.PENANAerTjJnmR93
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.696Please respect copyright.PENANANrTLnX2awV
696Please respect copyright.PENANAiDZHIDZzn1
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."696Please respect copyright.PENANAHSVmwDrB1N
696Please respect copyright.PENANAYveMWVkosw
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAwdpZcerw0D
696Please respect copyright.PENANAheY8wPr2vn
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAoodmra57nG
696Please respect copyright.PENANApmB5QINnWO
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.696Please respect copyright.PENANAxSawiPCC4P
696Please respect copyright.PENANAbg3CsYSfvF
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.696Please respect copyright.PENANAhUowzB9sqx
696Please respect copyright.PENANAdcbccPMMOD
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"696Please respect copyright.PENANAZantzzR1xi
696Please respect copyright.PENANAV1UxrMFFqP
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.696Please respect copyright.PENANAMqtpTE7CC1
696Please respect copyright.PENANAIfsDa8J23t
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."696Please respect copyright.PENANAvqvkqOY3Fv
696Please respect copyright.PENANA6l8gXJ5eO5
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."696Please respect copyright.PENANATCvEXuSfrx
696Please respect copyright.PENANAlMWE7Yp8CD
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANA4ttbGEbVnE
696Please respect copyright.PENANAYhmk7uCA8U
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."696Please respect copyright.PENANAienCCT8Dw7
696Please respect copyright.PENANA5eLy7apPPS
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.696Please respect copyright.PENANAC4KP0rhfX3
696Please respect copyright.PENANAKQDrwrqXKE
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.696Please respect copyright.PENANAvVkV9yHV5q
696Please respect copyright.PENANA3l5oxsOm0j
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....696Please respect copyright.PENANAVzwFn54WJI
696Please respect copyright.PENANAMuUdwJcaOd
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."696Please respect copyright.PENANAzivNLW7eQg
696Please respect copyright.PENANAUyrfr2OdGk
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"696Please respect copyright.PENANAtyzJcbi4Rg
696Please respect copyright.PENANAYbLsLA0eFY
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANACBlMvwvMJz
696Please respect copyright.PENANAKfPgsqxYjj
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."696Please respect copyright.PENANAwPjXaHR91j
696Please respect copyright.PENANAqDOVHHUNX7
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.696Please respect copyright.PENANA5NnQhiyg6t
696Please respect copyright.PENANAHXmVRw3Dmc
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANAFTZTI7Bu4J
696Please respect copyright.PENANAOE6QBn7hug
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."696Please respect copyright.PENANAw9fkYsRbnH
696Please respect copyright.PENANA37JsOGtqnP
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANAFQMB2NGMfM
696Please respect copyright.PENANAiWwGKNN3Tq
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANATssMg4mcrO
696Please respect copyright.PENANANAqdZzTTqE
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"696Please respect copyright.PENANABlpbx93XYa
696Please respect copyright.PENANA1JDnJd8cjS
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAk2Wv027cZD
696Please respect copyright.PENANAw0gm5VQ9m6
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.696Please respect copyright.PENANAViWAZpfdK0
696Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9s63ewccz
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."696Please respect copyright.PENANAC0U0ukuGlv
696Please respect copyright.PENANAlqcA996PTR
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.696Please respect copyright.PENANAlpT0Iasj9Q
696Please respect copyright.PENANAIhB7q20oCK
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANAzwbWJmlcE8
696Please respect copyright.PENANAnrGswIlswP
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.696Please respect copyright.PENANA4H4uptQsx6
696Please respect copyright.PENANAmd3wODs0ty
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.696Please respect copyright.PENANAFk1uJJNH7E
696Please respect copyright.PENANAKfRtv7pe4Q
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAyOaWteY3Q0
696Please respect copyright.PENANAWv9s3cFX52
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAHtJGwmxnP6
696Please respect copyright.PENANAirUAtTZtza
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.696Please respect copyright.PENANAt9c5sCQGF7
696Please respect copyright.PENANAxOaKV4fCRC
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."696Please respect copyright.PENANAWU8bqQUFu5
696Please respect copyright.PENANASCnqgvcZXE
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANA1ivGTRXdIw
696Please respect copyright.PENANAi6fFknGwSM
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANARMCfXkb240
696Please respect copyright.PENANAOFVpvID4pe
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.696Please respect copyright.PENANAcAvCJfY8ul
696Please respect copyright.PENANAbd7I892pPq
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAyArucsN2E2
696Please respect copyright.PENANAFQBbm0vlMq
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."696Please respect copyright.PENANArprp9TKShK
696Please respect copyright.PENANA01jDhUDEDL
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"696Please respect copyright.PENANALBJTNgILfY
696Please respect copyright.PENANALmcyTTaJtW
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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAjpvwOLF2mj
696Please respect copyright.PENANAQC6XcrAtgk
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."696Please respect copyright.PENANAhl8GbljxX2
696Please respect copyright.PENANAZP2D3VqHMM
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..."696Please respect copyright.PENANAFNIroXbtXD
696Please respect copyright.PENANA364SIrvdkt
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"696Please respect copyright.PENANAwWdVpTDGmt
696Please respect copyright.PENANAzNQHLtLvqX
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.696Please respect copyright.PENANAB0Dor08cRS
696Please respect copyright.PENANAAkvdKG46hx
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.696Please respect copyright.PENANAk74OFqKbPO
696Please respect copyright.PENANAQF6VLo3H82
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.696Please respect copyright.PENANAQxantIma07
696Please respect copyright.PENANAwvFBpiH3c0
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.696Please respect copyright.PENANA3lOwMXVvva
696Please respect copyright.PENANAck1IlbKrTg
"I can't believe it" she said.696Please respect copyright.PENANADSFr9AWZD2
696Please respect copyright.PENANAjVgVXUCYKb
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.696Please respect copyright.PENANAV2qj7QNn3y
696Please respect copyright.PENANAPPC5xnQfhm
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.696Please respect copyright.PENANAMje99eCjm6
696Please respect copyright.PENANAe2zQ4krN5g
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.696Please respect copyright.PENANAUp5iQ2jFCy
696Please respect copyright.PENANAOns1TKDwLx
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.696Please respect copyright.PENANAloiYrBv1HA
696Please respect copyright.PENANANEqK34xGPc
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANApO8aRPIKUZ
696Please respect copyright.PENANAhsyVVV2UK2
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAx4E9LgB0Cj
696Please respect copyright.PENANAYJdzR8Iw0u
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:696Please respect copyright.PENANAyf9olN71Y8
696Please respect copyright.PENANAhPy2DtoweK
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.696Please respect copyright.PENANABb4OSZo7Dy
696Please respect copyright.PENANAeAVw1vno6d
"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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAp4ahPMJQjY
696Please respect copyright.PENANAtxaXYJZeq7
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAcLgTNeWv9T
696Please respect copyright.PENANAQJfgPgHGMY
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."696Please respect copyright.PENANAYDytndr4QA
696Please respect copyright.PENANAhywV99lRYy
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.696Please respect copyright.PENANA6zL922wqBi
696Please respect copyright.PENANAqYNx8pY6s2
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.696Please respect copyright.PENANAls0eU7zdeN
696Please respect copyright.PENANAEh61Ag427e
"He seems pretty cool."696Please respect copyright.PENANAtxFWaKSL04
696Please respect copyright.PENANAU0hNjD0jlX
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.696Please respect copyright.PENANA6db5oBrWg5
696Please respect copyright.PENANA3TH1ouML07
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANA4lDJboAtQb
696Please respect copyright.PENANAFiurGWL81q
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."696Please respect copyright.PENANA54tU5iz8sl
696Please respect copyright.PENANAnrrfD4D2N8
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.696Please respect copyright.PENANATgMHxYM7IV
696Please respect copyright.PENANAjUF68U31Dl
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."696Please respect copyright.PENANACnWlCOmX5Z
696Please respect copyright.PENANAn5AMa07onU
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANApB0ecEMNjH
696Please respect copyright.PENANA3TKdm9HYmy
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.696Please respect copyright.PENANA3SiQwNymQY
696Please respect copyright.PENANAYLmIn1jXUK
"This 'Johnny' thing?"696Please respect copyright.PENANA2xLnIvOtDc
696Please respect copyright.PENANA3e3E1WTkoj
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.696Please respect copyright.PENANAZVKfNquzOH
696Please respect copyright.PENANAJvrFzGBP3C
"Why would we?" I asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANAZNoxicjsBS
696Please respect copyright.PENANA6aDFycLXy8
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."696Please respect copyright.PENANAczwuBbzBUB
696Please respect copyright.PENANAKBuArdseaD
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."696Please respect copyright.PENANA518cAJyrwn
696Please respect copyright.PENANA1kVKk4N0J9
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."696Please respect copyright.PENANA5rUSDzoinG
696Please respect copyright.PENANAcsBN4QILeR
"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?"696Please respect copyright.PENANAMxS1oD8O2e
696Please respect copyright.PENANAQFUYKIQN8l
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.696Please respect copyright.PENANArmUSmg3Zkd
696Please respect copyright.PENANAFO2ge4Wdwb
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANAAdLVHggBSw
696Please respect copyright.PENANAdFuqRSQApz
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."696Please respect copyright.PENANAxuzFQysiQN
696Please respect copyright.PENANAvKRwgdqqne
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAYrQgxlcRpi
696Please respect copyright.PENANAXo1ZDGdA75
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.696Please respect copyright.PENANAPiJGV5Uc4W
696Please respect copyright.PENANAqBWBnkI2rV
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."696Please respect copyright.PENANAVgxuaap9NO
696Please respect copyright.PENANACt9zcOD59O
"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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAvdpUiSKICD
696Please respect copyright.PENANAVholCTb8Lv
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.696Please respect copyright.PENANAd8fagmAGVa
696Please respect copyright.PENANANRUrk3SGOo
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.696Please respect copyright.PENANAEqP8SjYcOJ
696Please respect copyright.PENANAxzIJ0oZ5w4
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.696Please respect copyright.PENANAOD3PFRGY6k
696Please respect copyright.PENANAxTtJ3anJtN
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.696Please respect copyright.PENANAT5JceFtrZq
696Please respect copyright.PENANAy0AsxcQ5Ny
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."696Please respect copyright.PENANAHbfakFtAyZ
696Please respect copyright.PENANAjeMW8T2Oor
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.696Please respect copyright.PENANA9HICR7zQeV
696Please respect copyright.PENANA2EIDG4Elxj
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.696Please respect copyright.PENANA7xD6idOAKM
696Please respect copyright.PENANATuENqEzzkz
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAy9vFFG1HNA
696Please respect copyright.PENANAwIkQLHzofg
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."696Please respect copyright.PENANAHit6ouoogw
696Please respect copyright.PENANAqORDI2taW0
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"696Please respect copyright.PENANA40KuM7OYkZ
696Please respect copyright.PENANAHRgFj2zk0Y
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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAMP5g1FlDwG
696Please respect copyright.PENANARmWWgVY4qg
"Really?"696Please respect copyright.PENANAHMTFTAf0Ca
696Please respect copyright.PENANAdgxyqyaqa9
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"696Please respect copyright.PENANAdLw2NwwVhW
696Please respect copyright.PENANApQChIHAL1t
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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAvPqs3Pep4r
696Please respect copyright.PENANAcAtPzGTnAo
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."696Please respect copyright.PENANAz6iD0Kzkv4
696Please respect copyright.PENANAWiNdvD5LO0
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.696Please respect copyright.PENANAPYqLI7DBmG
696Please respect copyright.PENANAM6BPL4Snc7
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."696Please respect copyright.PENANAsOZsKkB8Of
696Please respect copyright.PENANACabH6jiAiK
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANACs08AmsF2G
696Please respect copyright.PENANAM43Tqul1n8
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.696Please respect copyright.PENANAZjRppSBX1e
696Please respect copyright.PENANAfYq79Hrlmw
"Ya, you too," I answered as I smiled back.696Please respect copyright.PENANAnQIqqO4fFI
696Please respect copyright.PENANAGa9XUD0P6M
He turned and walked to the elevator. I stood there and watched him leave.696Please respect copyright.PENANAy8dncARwml
696Please respect copyright.PENANAMAMvPq1fSW
"Sam, get in here quick!" Zoey called out to me. "You have to see this!"696Please respect copyright.PENANAe6hJKi6HWE
696Please respect copyright.PENANA51efP3orEF
I quickly went back into the lounge and took my seat next to Lee.696Please respect copyright.PENANA14GdcaqSHm
696Please respect copyright.PENANA7Jkv0Yt8sw
"This better be worth the call," I said as I looked at Lee's tablet.696Please respect copyright.PENANAwM24foybFR
696Please respect copyright.PENANAidyvJq23OB
"There was a dance video of Lisa and some girl," said Lee as she played the video for me.696Please respect copyright.PENANAmgPgvSGm3q
696Please respect copyright.PENANActdAmfQQhb
I watched Lisa and the young lady danced to a popular K-Pop song. There were people around that watched and cheered.696Please respect copyright.PENANAMhtlU3In87
696Please respect copyright.PENANAgTu6BHoKUR
"Well, that's cool," I said after the clip ended.696Please respect copyright.PENANAqN2FE9mXny
696Please respect copyright.PENANADNFZzmaK5M
"These guys had a really good time," said Mike.696Please respect copyright.PENANAVa086SCtu7
696Please respect copyright.PENANAO5DrSj2e6k
"Ya, but with someone you consider your enemy," said Lee.696Please respect copyright.PENANAhkTsqGPTjN
696Please respect copyright.PENANAzsFXB7KDoQ
"Whatever," said Christine. "We're way past that. We just don't want any drama with him."696Please respect copyright.PENANA3p0x1BacKb
696Please respect copyright.PENANAi1833WWcAb
"That will be impossible since he got to hang out with G-Dragon, BlackPink and WINNER who happen to be your friends."696Please respect copyright.PENANAoO4ziKHM4E
696Please respect copyright.PENANAcru93FBYd5
"Ya, good point," said Daniel. "What do you think we should do?"696Please respect copyright.PENANAp8xcbvKA3G
696Please respect copyright.PENANAjtT3PMQHyg
"Do we really have to do anything?" Christine asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANA3UDxRmSJNT
696Please respect copyright.PENANASpmeoVEVO2
"Don't tell me you want to think of something like a battle strategy?" Lee asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANAXchBRPrFAp
696Please respect copyright.PENANAtaPMvsze1v
"Why should we?" I asked. "We have a song to work on, remember? Johnny should be the least of our problems."696Please respect copyright.PENANA3U36ndTf8p
696Please respect copyright.PENANAAPZpfPdVZQ
"Something tells me we are going to meet him sooner than we anticipated," said Zoey.696Please respect copyright.PENANA00bpsmrrYl
696Please respect copyright.PENANAW1gtmLSBgL
