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?319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoHc2FyiQX
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv406h31Ohk
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul7l1wfEO1
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgHI9YGHwZ
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07nxwPdYih
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXPtuE961n
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgSD8wulKg
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ9biZG4JG
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBKtjZAkz7
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjlCyt9mr4
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKHkgdQBzk
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5azQmTk07i
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8O3DZrM6x
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ggZ5vdZTd
"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?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi7ie9H5ke
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ353QrBVe
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbogf6wq8V
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaIDjTiZvz
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh5i47Wzpy
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzAGhazFbs
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa6Abg4bG9
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnuLCqmK0t
"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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrEwXp0Oco
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9kiGqWRey
"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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlYQsCCS3u
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPxEM8bYRU
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfATKH7KJH
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeubUf5et8w
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x2zTLN0Dw
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ853p0l7OrX
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tbk3FvBMo
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9clvBeEoL
"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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4z1xGS4OZ
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBxpHFLlQu
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrLV7BurCg
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqmssKkG7k
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZGdoIXxlW
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVJjt9qQwf
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCWjLASra8
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo0RlpXtBl
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEzpHET7HW
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbPjSwRQj9
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNAPRjTbqp
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFofPZISwS
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav4q6QwAIA
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9WMLBMzox
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yurKwy5FR
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDlS0C2J0C
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bnk2IBKkk
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSyX3VNXCP
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaPON15UUO
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C2qKMOH7H
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHnGBQFQoj
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVyzzYs4ZJ
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlydeonClsf
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1qX9aWrVm
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JZ4I6BEDM
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5vfk4fuSb
"Sometimes I think you cheat."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDdkIILtmZ
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjSCFPTl1Q
"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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz8LmpbgU6
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiF0rNEheL
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TYS64bfUC
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zOZRlVbI5
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq6PTUEFZO
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpEobCBZak
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQnzOhBueE
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUmsCwbkeS
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7qw53r8zw
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm76MXM0Zax
"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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH7cxqEKvP
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRf3yjOBAB
"I better go give them a call, then."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO6jUO7w1M
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhLQ2khVfP
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nneHVx8fQ
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuucNuF2Ia
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kJ3EQnwyC
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw00LusH6b
"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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDZfd408nP
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSNqCB339w
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8vgE3g1IC
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufM4vUDut4
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb6Oad79zD
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmpbxtlBKT
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?319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryIf3oRVVq
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAHqFyOKBD
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD6dbhazaD
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftB1baYSLF
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPY0mtHte1
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EKmpPy0RG
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKrdBANGQY
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMEo7Wmmvz
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5gsA3XZFE
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXwaFXRwJd
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPesaNvuUGB
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8yf8yL1QN
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjRqe0DDze
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFAV77BJw8
"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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7KAsVScU7
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mXrDdfMDK
"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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJweZapz4W
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyljcHOihk
"Ya, sure."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jMl2yhtyY
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3wJEwQTlh
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEe955v5rV
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQZ2SMIEDS
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqhPf7LLff
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKyrGFnomn
"Anything?" Zoey asked.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdFxRmY8AS
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdeoeZO4LE
"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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZkvyPKHkJ
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UiUFIlk4r
"Okay, well, we can wait."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMnuW0FrvA
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIZhDiYJJv
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxKt1LBpa8
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGY9DL5NoQ
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOC6G0f5cx
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOn1kLozBd
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L71eV4wlw
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Oxidg3rhZ
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAnCUNuoJH
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX9opJV5aE
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFTtxRnsv4
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkKGxOQCWg
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcHBvfMUH1
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlluHF1awa
"We can't work on the song without them."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVXtZ412iz
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SPDZScNQg
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOw1bJPCRJ
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH51p8K4MAl
"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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnOPXYu4ql
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Monq3wTtg
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh40mvLhCG4
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMznlIFB2e
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQKvNwKHxh
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFnugXusWG
"Then get your guitar and notebook."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0OaGAyH8M
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5ggTDunPx
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXVmtjB6ZB
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHLyuqwP0X
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbClmON4LN
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpTm49ojSQ
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgL49vxd6r
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBd1d3pL8j
"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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBG95ZiMPe
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cWhhPqtGT
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQdnPmf6v1
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdovTDmAogM
"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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2aI16cz82
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmn05idgIr
"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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6iQEIpMel
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ62BGUSDj
"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?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdwsKkO2Z4
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEeCGPDl6z
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv3qDJG6yc
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MRIXyBmjP
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZUWdbSvuX
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLLOMTKvf5
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MbEeWpcJ6
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvsOSORzNV
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZwzWjGAS3
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzxO4lo9wK
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxvq7hTmvn
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpZ0cCvk86
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjkwyWYURz
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqK9ouvqxv
"Yes, really," I answered.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmTYNi0dEx
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxgqvLuK46
"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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpzoTT86tJ
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupag3Mv4cs
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm1VE3d9Vw
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncLh8m8bSh
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg89u9H3azm
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aey3zV16H
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv93rBfHen
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55sfmIX1Z0
"What went well?" Lee asked.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkliyUc73sr
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7v7epnvlt
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMfzjCzylt
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vKkVZW5TS
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50pZlKiogj
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQcFM6MbOg
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37WPNoeNmV
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbaZN4d43I
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocc0jzeDOW
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SImSeLqCQ
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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrFKMF8mhH
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sKkr8Lba8
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3IzuD7p1F
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7rejZMHvZ
"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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7dDOhGyj3
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02sp93o2Jw
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu1Ko7IXEQ
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1IkjHLqbp
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFjcLhT5p0
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Eqg6lRwBT
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ST6XdLjky
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnMnppjgrl
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyryYoTTN2s
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoie11ap6Nv
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPRirhLikn
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMRh8WshTF
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnAJXdzTkM
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPYHKJMWv5
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O7q1nCSA8
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDzsf0qxiY
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U2IZh93yS
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitcBmPzpxH
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ1V9a9OMk
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1zaq6zQG3
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdPUna1rsg
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Dic6WPAZA
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU67li2AUh
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKBytrcbGm
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJtwffyCjs
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTlkWNoDiE
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxL266P46v
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToYEScEGzA
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQehzRSQKF
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfk928ijCC
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRcH38fEBD
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERSFFkYMvp
"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?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6JXtClRV9
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA0EUunQ0P
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwCCA4xeTb
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWNaV57EGo
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30rhbYoczF
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu1ts1Y8ce
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGYkpildIG
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjJb05noc2
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRcs3tLEbP
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vLpWASG3S
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAHpiEhc65
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzau28dyt2B
"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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO38R7u98g
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU46FH8AnZ
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcMtMMW037
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19Xtv5rRub
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wiWMNNQc4
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibrxtePeJz
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1H22vbmXI

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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQVBWbM0GK
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6OA72qfCK
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyw2PYJweK
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoQOZbWMe2
"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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXei2ApecKW
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMKk4I8Ou7
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFCtbqFsvW
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JrnbaURGL
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi8ST9MYDD
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89G97DKarY
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFTcfJxf5q
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoofFRWb2zx
"What is it?" Christine asked.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpWgIGV2mb
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZoVI7Fgxy
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bzeFQrJMq
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24i3eQo95A
"He's here," I said.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQQDM3M3vW
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiIvUWsSxh
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqcqaKnc1A
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlpqXFTfwu
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtuP8J7LIE
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT38XEx7HT
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpAnaNjZSA
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppbX8nOAUr
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHxJueuIZk
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAOj0soSkn
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo5jaVd1Vt
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCfFz1Z31N
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwO2XGqNFZ
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylSX4OJR4m
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEAWzpqLtY
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcvpuw6lVM
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5Tm0kNQTz
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoKm87hZAz
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE0rIVlUzK
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwavv0VfCZW
"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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrIV89K19m
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm3Pkff0iT
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnyw1GrsBm
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1eD9pg1FP
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh3BnGovgL
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTPEuVRJ3M
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gYjcQNNaI
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLFAzXI2LX
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqlLr7gC03
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYSDA6Ls3Q
"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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKp706tAwd
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CtX8Lxhg6
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nuAhPgxga
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngYUZ0GRz8
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYHM8jsdVW
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjzbXpz4a6
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v69s2nIGI
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXBB9LFTRU
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3bzXyna8s
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWXL8I27pj
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF42F87myEd
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpWnWV6LWv
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2T2XQOX5z
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7Pn58uNcU
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQJqOy9siq
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGpsNvcyut
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKl9SNufqY
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoqkdZp6IV
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhn7p6RAWp
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiIcQbXBRJ
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtirNRHsFk
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVENv2XN4Fn
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....319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIhLDlWWX0
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl6W8DMeb0
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUio0Lg9kau
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoAhsnhMmd
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fq5i5VsJa
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX3o18BACM
"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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8jTBCweCz
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf99anEmZAW
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFugM1Z19A
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUDBVXkfkL
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRKCYTe2z8
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8rRUTpUV3
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5R9g0hyMy
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu8jh7KOVd
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjr4qHQ3GD
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxjv5IoESr
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3DSxoxBRg
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjmkZr7m5p
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3axJXjcBv
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iAIWKMqVo
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB66geJ7lJw
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti8TX6XrxY
"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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWmDMiwuMp
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkco887XCdA
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiBERhY460
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUfI2uCxSM
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqaxYbJwK3
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeacyKfvwfA
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6veOgoviTp
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AqnMddPAI
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNdLq6oOuk
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPToaG8YvbC
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHik7rKXRd5
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwSs0cJLjh
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj3HUeIsPP
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLM4D9jDqw
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9QovlaexV
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiuOH5Cjxm
"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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd1QagIYoA
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz261XHfSR
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23E3ru7Vsv
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8yQvesOZg
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqLHoutu9O
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFAXqCGuse
"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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0y3hImV0y
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSh9wZyLIW
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7AMvccqRb
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GlUdDZZyX
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9dBfMVA0S
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJlaDqok1s
"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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIBZhZ3MoO
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtIa8Htt2x
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxTOX7ngP2
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyiQwSQRgc
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXWuJqpDD9
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJdJ9BhWdy
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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq3ZIasrSy
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHQheyQDjg
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrlid47st0
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWmnlXHT2V
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..."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl0Iz8R7XQ
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZhaJnG9Wi
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwaqNZMjg2
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ548QwLeiGy
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnD0DmuQTk
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlS3NJjT40
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUwvrtTJBg
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkHIf7Rwas
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLcj0BiO9W
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK7zRgu71m
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ3C4LrWkr
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjyeUB47ar
"I can't believe it" she said.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ3pfKrkNq
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNDsH9wP5t
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VWBEzGHOd
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2QAxU4jRT
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUZoHdMQ2V
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoDrtcxvz6
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcimxAhDYMu
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfccIPcIOk
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnrQS0XojU
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jD7qEoVDm
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWwJtNwrv7
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2TT6ym7Nd
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanJIPf0UhK
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8xfodpVDm
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:319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNxoXryvSd
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5h1uyKfog
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahIuzO6DZ0
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34feSn7xIS
"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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO2taBEPcV
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPYfABwxkT
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQJhHe1U0P
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpZKVtkHue
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3TzMPLD8M
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8q2ZF1cT1
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoNkbyAH8L
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHptkwuIjr
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQlDiRsCn2
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yV7EFSnpD
"He seems pretty cool."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXy2uFsLgj
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8GosmYhfD
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X9IWbPFuv
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhheOrnbW2
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqCM7VeSae
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLMzvcmunC
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnXJIfMLUt
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksxPjLGCwd
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14dzirN9ww
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokCCXNNCZ1
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmKJV2JzMd
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPWgg7biWh
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkKMRXlB7M
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIuVIEl50g
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI0IEjNB9s
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlDdikbaqE
"This 'Johnny' thing?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKmGsBisMq
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2blrVv3stE
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIvxbn8Qgw
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUkCRmXj53
"Why would we?" I asked.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHL8pE4E83
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7vqzFjzPO
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4in3SXUg3Z
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8iZ5KZdZB
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUhcVOTrZg
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjRMDKzJiM
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4wMdTxVUU
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTBNaiRmsk
"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?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4owFfWdNX
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiyS7U3XUO
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqji9evaRCP
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnbdUF5fuQ
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZURAMma7q
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa75NsOPa9m
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ8eB0lZXd
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj6yKegCu4
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU22LH2LyKj
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhon2LXDm8d
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtprSlEc2k
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuBmMiNjju
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2hmuy7WWg
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMIRX29HRO
"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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53gCliMXpN
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8fzfvQmvw
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGSZu22EdI
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqP0snxaCx
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5oEzS3fJc
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtogaKvt4BG
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAjvoSDcco
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyEPMcjzUD
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRguCLatUj
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5RjQ1UtOh
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gjhZCcSMp
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFkLK3sQmU
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxETDEA0ln
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVDC4EWfzb
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaVXRY1BMh
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnapGmqUwWV
"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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnmrGxDIVX
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaL9QVqW24
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobnNQENTha
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ittuZBBfF
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjmHpKG7An
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToMXFSUj2F
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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lCXxkXpZy
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbYAXimGQH
"Really?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOf4ZZ8Jok
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuBubrxBDS
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VtXMTwGlx
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbta4F6z3dQ
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."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cIQaz9eCq
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgwOcVbop4
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nw3YleThb
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSI9PmVtM0
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvfyju24Xn
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XiV3HJIDh
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtGofMWkPH
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0hRT8NB0S
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahcj2TzZh5
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IVtUolwAf
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEZTMWT7Mk
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2Z5enSyvJ
"Ya, you too," I answered as I smiled back.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIdt9xX8wu
