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?455Please respect copyright.PENANA6V0eyno1j0
455Please respect copyright.PENANA83sxNCD02X
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.455Please respect copyright.PENANA6BvgxjN3i2
455Please respect copyright.PENANAjzQj9D4reT
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.455Please respect copyright.PENANAjQfdp8ib8t
455Please respect copyright.PENANAxx4aTJxXcB
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.455Please respect copyright.PENANAgfHEYDfTWM
455Please respect copyright.PENANASqMBpRwAu4
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.455Please respect copyright.PENANAtefGnaJjwh
455Please respect copyright.PENANAN1dGkW0GZh
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.455Please respect copyright.PENANA1VkrlZsWd9
455Please respect copyright.PENANAuAr85whBeq
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.455Please respect copyright.PENANAKeWKuFV7VV
455Please respect copyright.PENANADzppoSPQBC
"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?"455Please respect copyright.PENANAlOcjpHi1e2
455Please respect copyright.PENANAcLBt655vii
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."455Please respect copyright.PENANAt9ex5nEMrC
455Please respect copyright.PENANAwg9jdwRZtL
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.455Please respect copyright.PENANAOXu9ltQgqT
455Please respect copyright.PENANAkwz8RxU9wR
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.455Please respect copyright.PENANAzL20JpEDvk
455Please respect copyright.PENANAHhfvOVr8jl
"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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAEQts5NlKn9
455Please respect copyright.PENANA1q6gkyxaOp
"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."455Please respect copyright.PENANADvVO7flmlN
455Please respect copyright.PENANAQz2glZ6XGv
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.455Please respect copyright.PENANAfHPdKMlUVG
455Please respect copyright.PENANA7py5kucCBa
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.455Please respect copyright.PENANAEteROOg9K8
455Please respect copyright.PENANAGmPyWvhVb5
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.455Please respect copyright.PENANAjbKL5Cs0N2
455Please respect copyright.PENANApMPMBMxJcl
"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."455Please respect copyright.PENANAjr56hEVSBf
455Please respect copyright.PENANAE4iCM4SeQ8
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.455Please respect copyright.PENANADiIa8eOHnM
455Please respect copyright.PENANAbtatAvha40
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."455Please respect copyright.PENANADwAhucvcmL
455Please respect copyright.PENANAgfQ2FJUjEO
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.455Please respect copyright.PENANAjZtLxEmSpz
455Please respect copyright.PENANAEVxno3zawl
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANA70jIlMZ88f
455Please respect copyright.PENANAqMUtC0Jk7d
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.455Please respect copyright.PENANArSHYtTHa2y
455Please respect copyright.PENANAhNP9ykDnmh
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."455Please respect copyright.PENANASDg9MVb6bl
455Please respect copyright.PENANAYhN77Q8tSE
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.455Please respect copyright.PENANALLBmclegml
455Please respect copyright.PENANAe4oMACcDou
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.455Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0Ch8rRkYL
455Please respect copyright.PENANAKT0AIqi2OX
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.455Please respect copyright.PENANAMymsfFHlMd
455Please respect copyright.PENANALiyRgaSAsY
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAKYoXg5GOzN
455Please respect copyright.PENANAKUKg1Kfg9N
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."455Please respect copyright.PENANAegOGiF9HMD
455Please respect copyright.PENANAX81ZrCAprl
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.455Please respect copyright.PENANA5MoKmwXDUA
455Please respect copyright.PENANAhSGaJcTbot
"Sometimes I think you cheat."455Please respect copyright.PENANAqrIgnRWGXx
455Please respect copyright.PENANAKm0j646oss
"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."455Please respect copyright.PENANArpt40D8FFA
455Please respect copyright.PENANAIl4wtSJhGU
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."455Please respect copyright.PENANAe8CLEQCstV
455Please respect copyright.PENANAYEgMOmxZvT
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.455Please respect copyright.PENANAIi89RSftCK
455Please respect copyright.PENANAwgP7RO7naY
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.455Please respect copyright.PENANAnKV7Rq2PB7
455Please respect copyright.PENANARm8Qv6JpfB
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.455Please respect copyright.PENANAgPACFBgTKq
455Please respect copyright.PENANAQYdDXfYyqf
"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."455Please respect copyright.PENANAYsoFxplU8j
455Please respect copyright.PENANA6dWIMvecQt
"I better go give them a call, then."455Please respect copyright.PENANAa5yvZx5flS
455Please respect copyright.PENANAZLKmkWhXHc
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAPCyHxjlxYA
455Please respect copyright.PENANAsnMTbLrs4C
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAM2Pi81IKae
455Please respect copyright.PENANAjcQW1UO981
"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.455Please respect copyright.PENANANV7PrYL5AW
455Please respect copyright.PENANAFtmEsg6qu8
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANA8PnGAjENL9
455Please respect copyright.PENANAwjavaCcxYn
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xzee46GKZ
455Please respect copyright.PENANAWHbklcH4jk
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?455Please respect copyright.PENANAZLMlHWn8yX
455Please respect copyright.PENANAcDW9TqnP34
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAp5gFRT7aJN
455Please respect copyright.PENANAI3L822gdgl
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.455Please respect copyright.PENANAAPUosQyuLx
455Please respect copyright.PENANARiLrjQ7rLP
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.455Please respect copyright.PENANA0qW1609aH5
455Please respect copyright.PENANAKEGvkmhtvd
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."455Please respect copyright.PENANAbtebhwHikr
455Please respect copyright.PENANAu35YpqB9ss
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"455Please respect copyright.PENANAFFpohwe5uh
455Please respect copyright.PENANAvwxswwUtlV
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"455Please respect copyright.PENANAIjfVees5hX
455Please respect copyright.PENANAMiTuTMHdWT
"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."455Please respect copyright.PENANA9e7ZZ2lTVx
455Please respect copyright.PENANASQzvsVZq5d
"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."455Please respect copyright.PENANAJNNnACT9fI
455Please respect copyright.PENANAP6STz321xO
"Ya, sure."455Please respect copyright.PENANAruupTE4jUA
455Please respect copyright.PENANAbrSu1NEkIJ
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAvR3WDYcYic
455Please respect copyright.PENANAqK2mFnl0os
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.455Please respect copyright.PENANAHnrRVnQn6A
455Please respect copyright.PENANA3bRDQbkKYA
"Anything?" Zoey asked.455Please respect copyright.PENANAdTzHfIGr0m
455Please respect copyright.PENANAgucEi3OO0H
"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."455Please respect copyright.PENANAtl8lTYHNa0
455Please respect copyright.PENANAcc20ZZl45o
"Okay, well, we can wait."455Please respect copyright.PENANAV79E1ubnl5
455Please respect copyright.PENANABEx2ohV4vR
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."455Please respect copyright.PENANA5hdmPTZY0i
455Please respect copyright.PENANAKbK9AA0JkN
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."455Please respect copyright.PENANAMrLOkEk0qz
455Please respect copyright.PENANAt1EynstH1H
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."455Please respect copyright.PENANAMN1CdLzjru
455Please respect copyright.PENANAYZXkLuSRpu
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."455Please respect copyright.PENANAXhaUjYcewr
455Please respect copyright.PENANAdyYEUF3ELN
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."455Please respect copyright.PENANAQOtFMP7tvW
455Please respect copyright.PENANAbgTwW13gEv
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.455Please respect copyright.PENANAWk2atwMvpv
455Please respect copyright.PENANAYfUSX1BcCv
"We can't work on the song without them."455Please respect copyright.PENANAZzlgxL1Yy3
455Please respect copyright.PENANArWOaxaiJYj
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."455Please respect copyright.PENANAOpxTTAW23R
455Please respect copyright.PENANALVybQS4vUU
"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."455Please respect copyright.PENANARI2vfnm0Db
455Please respect copyright.PENANA5vjUvWHaBK
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."455Please respect copyright.PENANAkMEwMpduqG
455Please respect copyright.PENANAbDqvz10FsD
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.455Please respect copyright.PENANAWgnXvhgPrf
455Please respect copyright.PENANAIhShPJUquf
"Then get your guitar and notebook."455Please respect copyright.PENANAGBF8kjBb23
455Please respect copyright.PENANA6tgF9zvTm3
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."455Please respect copyright.PENANAnKLGcCqaJi
455Please respect copyright.PENANAI9VDjW6sgJ
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"455Please respect copyright.PENANAtqqrUKkHA6
455Please respect copyright.PENANAz4wDkJzVjI
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."455Please respect copyright.PENANAqPpZnR0Fdc
455Please respect copyright.PENANA1dPaQvel24
"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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAkvNxTaK9in
455Please respect copyright.PENANATApfCg2KAO
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAjpV6VBnaoP
455Please respect copyright.PENANAWI97Vsu4Jx
"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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAM0J004wsuZ
455Please respect copyright.PENANArHTe0V9WmU
"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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAObzKoZpYhR
455Please respect copyright.PENANAPlPGlZ6hqS
"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?"455Please respect copyright.PENANAjwGEHW2J74
455Please respect copyright.PENANAlTItW9LuvH
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.455Please respect copyright.PENANADWpQYsepyA
455Please respect copyright.PENANAm3bWbAffTQ
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."455Please respect copyright.PENANA9GTIGekQfL
455Please respect copyright.PENANAnWeix1ftxi
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.455Please respect copyright.PENANA7f0xXw1vsp
455Please respect copyright.PENANAhLY59Hd5hp
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.455Please respect copyright.PENANA2KTXDnw89c
455Please respect copyright.PENANAO1imUK0goY
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.455Please respect copyright.PENANAVU9dVxgJvX
455Please respect copyright.PENANAsRuXrisdWh
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.455Please respect copyright.PENANA7FxQlPt3bn
455Please respect copyright.PENANAEWybE434De
"Yes, really," I answered.455Please respect copyright.PENANAYIzXo5A2ha
455Please respect copyright.PENANA8pfb5bIAH6
"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."455Please respect copyright.PENANALAy2s6n5Zl
455Please respect copyright.PENANALnYNNUCSOu
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."455Please respect copyright.PENANAbpxkG1o4uz
455Please respect copyright.PENANACXvVLfbSva
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.455Please respect copyright.PENANAzY24A7JE2U
455Please respect copyright.PENANAWaa8JMoNmM
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.455Please respect copyright.PENANAKgFtscmqr7
455Please respect copyright.PENANA2zHfT6wJYZ
"What went well?" Lee asked.455Please respect copyright.PENANAmgu3I77yLs
455Please respect copyright.PENANAtjNEhAPYTw
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.455Please respect copyright.PENANA1Zpt3Mzi7w
455Please respect copyright.PENANAlSbk2sObaw
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAR72VBxwxP2
455Please respect copyright.PENANAFLTt9eJoJ2
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAv4uqhALke4
455Please respect copyright.PENANACkGFnUEIbE
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.455Please respect copyright.PENANA8A8IrKzoMg
455Please respect copyright.PENANAFkoQOzqbII
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."455Please respect copyright.PENANAnJm0VcVCDH
455Please respect copyright.PENANAmRlGnRJ4rr
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.455Please respect copyright.PENANA11hpY5ROWU
455Please respect copyright.PENANAnq9yPO8GGi
"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."455Please respect copyright.PENANAr6FZeG0zJJ
455Please respect copyright.PENANAh2GuatIchl
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.455Please respect copyright.PENANAydJJgdWJz9
455Please respect copyright.PENANASDngs6EQxq
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.455Please respect copyright.PENANAizrscUYNmq
455Please respect copyright.PENANAop2R6hadDQ
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.455Please respect copyright.PENANA74081CzYiv
455Please respect copyright.PENANAY9yFm7s7ln
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.455Please respect copyright.PENANAF1AZK2yEbq
455Please respect copyright.PENANATUM92yToFY
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAfA8pwa4b4s
455Please respect copyright.PENANAN6wbuTlGx6
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.455Please respect copyright.PENANARaz5ikoS4l
455Please respect copyright.PENANA69ugDqLQTU
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.455Please respect copyright.PENANArWZhTL6Mln
455Please respect copyright.PENANAqWuvwRxNo3
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.455Please respect copyright.PENANAYPfvOl1DeK
455Please respect copyright.PENANA1czETGRebD
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."455Please respect copyright.PENANAy2ii17RPg3
455Please respect copyright.PENANAoQgYMdVgr9
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"455Please respect copyright.PENANAwshkdBgeDX
455Please respect copyright.PENANAYVU34g61ir
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAcVTpB0ZYvp
455Please respect copyright.PENANAxbE4qP0Ilv
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"455Please respect copyright.PENANAkU3aKTD8Yw
455Please respect copyright.PENANAzEca07ENmT
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."455Please respect copyright.PENANAPDuCfAQZYl
455Please respect copyright.PENANAmh3Dp2SgGn
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.455Please respect copyright.PENANAN1BXNCGBeT
455Please respect copyright.PENANAxPL8kYqaC8
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."455Please respect copyright.PENANAkgIZrxr9iF
455Please respect copyright.PENANAiWnYKzK7sQ
"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?"455Please respect copyright.PENANAnzMDylpSfW
455Please respect copyright.PENANAijE44Fi7bC
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.455Please respect copyright.PENANAbQzASkA0P3
455Please respect copyright.PENANAlsK98fKPDZ
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.455Please respect copyright.PENANA0Pd57BRJaf
455Please respect copyright.PENANAAkVdIyNsvR
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"455Please respect copyright.PENANAdBx19sAadU
455Please respect copyright.PENANAPV5zcYbD4O
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.455Please respect copyright.PENANAk6uxBjtATQ
455Please respect copyright.PENANAeVofsXxoMz
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.455Please respect copyright.PENANAZWwUMSkPza
455Please respect copyright.PENANAKxqWU678vw
"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."455Please respect copyright.PENANAin8OhrQxNa
455Please respect copyright.PENANAxdXMaTaoIb
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.455Please respect copyright.PENANADirovOkzzT
455Please respect copyright.PENANAHqp028RK2z
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"455Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1xtbEel3M
455Please respect copyright.PENANAgm5yCiocc2
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAywP6ogbzM7
455Please respect copyright.PENANAleoxCAmiRv
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAKiPzsDrtnv
455Please respect copyright.PENANA2fk7h0x7nL
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.455Please respect copyright.PENANAsFognQ8tKt
455Please respect copyright.PENANAq58R0RHQPw
"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."455Please respect copyright.PENANA7qQOdmfZ7N
455Please respect copyright.PENANAOOqJc0cs60
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."455Please respect copyright.PENANA0l0rY3sqLz
455Please respect copyright.PENANAdWKMQTa6S4
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."455Please respect copyright.PENANAkSP3qhVi3I
455Please respect copyright.PENANAPf9TNsjbBd
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.455Please respect copyright.PENANABJycJ8uNrx
455Please respect copyright.PENANAkYjHN9zBu1
"What is it?" Christine asked.455Please respect copyright.PENANAWiBZBvc9Zf
455Please respect copyright.PENANAF1xkWeigPx
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.455Please respect copyright.PENANA2phLid7mCH
455Please respect copyright.PENANAEiYngX153o
"He's here," I said.455Please respect copyright.PENANAynQAm9YBnS
455Please respect copyright.PENANA4xd05vltxl
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"455Please respect copyright.PENANAP4Ynn6GyoI
455Please respect copyright.PENANAUlhahZrxTj
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.455Please respect copyright.PENANAZouSEPOtC6
455Please respect copyright.PENANAoeAkiTvMJ0
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.455Please respect copyright.PENANA2oKYIOZRLx
455Please respect copyright.PENANA2qknxDjjOW
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.455Please respect copyright.PENANA6Xf1arTdeE
455Please respect copyright.PENANAfnRyNDeH7l
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"455Please respect copyright.PENANANcCZNo36YE
455Please respect copyright.PENANA2fXUomKjy9
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.455Please respect copyright.PENANAWn6KTONP9M
455Please respect copyright.PENANAa514xlraii
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."455Please respect copyright.PENANAxYTzKlK58h
455Please respect copyright.PENANAMACrsas477
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.455Please respect copyright.PENANAyu5F0ZRKtV
455Please respect copyright.PENANAowk4AjHkpg
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.455Please respect copyright.PENANA9xSys6SPO9
455Please respect copyright.PENANAhJM78DOpiJ
"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.455Please respect copyright.PENANATgYRwZ2RBy
455Please respect copyright.PENANALDXVabWfHX
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.455Please respect copyright.PENANAd9UBUHfuJf
455Please respect copyright.PENANAPRcf5o7cqN
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.455Please respect copyright.PENANAHDROnNaRnN
455Please respect copyright.PENANADEpqFqWknE
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."455Please respect copyright.PENANA5wWoeJUsgp
455Please respect copyright.PENANArMgyb278z0
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAyEQskmZJwt
455Please respect copyright.PENANANF5Fwil7Im
"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."455Please respect copyright.PENANAc3kC9VSC7X
455Please respect copyright.PENANA9ISHsfbE8e
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.455Please respect copyright.PENANA4bBgM7olbm
455Please respect copyright.PENANAF66lpbGJWk
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.455Please respect copyright.PENANAgtlK03N772
455Please respect copyright.PENANAHne9uDguHc
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"455Please respect copyright.PENANAwLQDYxZ9J2
455Please respect copyright.PENANAdCl8uYe6VZ
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.455Please respect copyright.PENANA6fypCOBLPk
455Please respect copyright.PENANA08c2i5AVBn
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."455Please respect copyright.PENANAEao7KWv7Ae
455Please respect copyright.PENANAa1JrkQp4FB
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."455Please respect copyright.PENANAGqkfuDupJw
455Please respect copyright.PENANAyIQyNDDRsk
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.455Please respect copyright.PENANAHv7N1gBsyc
455Please respect copyright.PENANAJsX3LPzQjG
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."455Please respect copyright.PENANAr7ZIaTUulj
455Please respect copyright.PENANA4oadlL6NwH
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.455Please respect copyright.PENANAdRUum0RNNR
455Please respect copyright.PENANAcPsez3C7of
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.455Please respect copyright.PENANARR8AeJ4ktd
455Please respect copyright.PENANAetMURC33CT
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....455Please respect copyright.PENANAcgZNVjmVj2
455Please respect copyright.PENANAgDsbWksyt4
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."455Please respect copyright.PENANADbqFE6Ku3m
455Please respect copyright.PENANAraYnSKJ3NB
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"455Please respect copyright.PENANAo3alujaz4Y
455Please respect copyright.PENANAAZfxDWDJUR
"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."455Please respect copyright.PENANAhytqutE8fO
455Please respect copyright.PENANANciU7vynxb
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."455Please respect copyright.PENANAAjbxhW1Rwv
455Please respect copyright.PENANAcGDF0Y3eAG
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.455Please respect copyright.PENANAhHfjTv52JN
455Please respect copyright.PENANAqW1m0oUPi5
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.455Please respect copyright.PENANAFOyx6TjjVU
455Please respect copyright.PENANAfvXZCOa56S
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."455Please respect copyright.PENANACPKsec3Awu
455Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5aejr7wMU
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.455Please respect copyright.PENANAfi6HLsDxgM
455Please respect copyright.PENANAqlfLGnIN8G
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAO95qFSCJbe
455Please respect copyright.PENANAdzYfEDYLeJ
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"455Please respect copyright.PENANA84CuPZitRZ
455Please respect copyright.PENANANrLwruT1DE
"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."455Please respect copyright.PENANAiTtwcFIpDd
455Please respect copyright.PENANATOdOagc0W2
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.455Please respect copyright.PENANAb20ipgmaG4
455Please respect copyright.PENANAFI47ewrLR8
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."455Please respect copyright.PENANAAq7hrW7FrY
455Please respect copyright.PENANAA2tb7Hbagg
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.455Please respect copyright.PENANA7aDTS6prZl
455Please respect copyright.PENANAs7IJyEgyBv
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.455Please respect copyright.PENANAfKJSjK5VoO
455Please respect copyright.PENANAAyL1w02xm0
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.455Please respect copyright.PENANApVFRscKRz1
455Please respect copyright.PENANAQQTtXo2OrT
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.455Please respect copyright.PENANAqRJGnI4p9f
455Please respect copyright.PENANAek5Yk7FvjN
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAhihMyfbska
455Please respect copyright.PENANAnNIX8zwSy3
"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."455Please respect copyright.PENANAiUNxmiLaB7
455Please respect copyright.PENANALO7UZylMKR
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.455Please respect copyright.PENANAitzvTvhyQI
455Please respect copyright.PENANAWxwixlJLp6
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."455Please respect copyright.PENANAyt9KvTr91g
455Please respect copyright.PENANAKC1L7v8iiU
"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."455Please respect copyright.PENANAlbsY4qP9JR
455Please respect copyright.PENANAvQvEE942nI
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAxIXoFeSmlq
455Please respect copyright.PENANA7ctUSR9zic
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.455Please respect copyright.PENANAnOgxsZcnYZ
455Please respect copyright.PENANACYXBkUAk5n
"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."455Please respect copyright.PENANANEAkVzbyHS
455Please respect copyright.PENANAl5HHiNV5TM
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."455Please respect copyright.PENANAvXESw1R4Ew
455Please respect copyright.PENANAdyoqribohH
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"455Please respect copyright.PENANAb4dRFE0Tg6
455Please respect copyright.PENANA9EAnkS9CKA
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."455Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3A2cC9OiQ
455Please respect copyright.PENANAE97EL4LH70
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."455Please respect copyright.PENANAmw09mFdW6P
455Please respect copyright.PENANAsoD9NNgSSt
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..."455Please respect copyright.PENANAfb35uqejSH
455Please respect copyright.PENANA8vdmR6E8Ua
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"455Please respect copyright.PENANApU8IkKV4pU
455Please respect copyright.PENANAluyHo0FkId
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.455Please respect copyright.PENANA3sPrVd7KT4
455Please respect copyright.PENANA02YO00xRYZ
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.455Please respect copyright.PENANATFebtFg0rU
455Please respect copyright.PENANAP4RUrUYMV5
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.455Please respect copyright.PENANABQqne72ZZt
455Please respect copyright.PENANAz9W6Fi1vYW
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.455Please respect copyright.PENANAfEII1VujNf
455Please respect copyright.PENANAGcU2bOvCmE
"I can't believe it" she said.455Please respect copyright.PENANAYL4dLiVEkr
455Please respect copyright.PENANAYFeWcYOluz
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.455Please respect copyright.PENANAaykQ3TR7DP
455Please respect copyright.PENANAPBzAkSaiyx
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.455Please respect copyright.PENANAwqNNVRCi0Z
455Please respect copyright.PENANABftcywupp3
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.455Please respect copyright.PENANAnBaavXAaA1
455Please respect copyright.PENANAiTTmihs23X
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.455Please respect copyright.PENANAblWiaYOVEc
455Please respect copyright.PENANAn9mapw4RoY
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAvImZzkMDq3
455Please respect copyright.PENANADoEnAGLjOx
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANA7GnA8lbGnA
455Please respect copyright.PENANARVHJ8XbAAV
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:455Please respect copyright.PENANAPZwRiJhcjh
455Please respect copyright.PENANAQGoJjbMRgw
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.455Please respect copyright.PENANASl1d15C7By
455Please respect copyright.PENANAppTy0JBDg4
"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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAUTSCGmldAl
455Please respect copyright.PENANAtdMhm6leNz
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANArdPvc4JOTR
455Please respect copyright.PENANAFPXu3EM6eL
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."455Please respect copyright.PENANA7tUNIDIRZD
455Please respect copyright.PENANAD8fyw5lRyK
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.455Please respect copyright.PENANAEj5u0VWyKH
455Please respect copyright.PENANAOFDVOfzHfb
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.455Please respect copyright.PENANALyz0bFW3Ev
455Please respect copyright.PENANASAMZV9COov
"He seems pretty cool."455Please respect copyright.PENANAfF3CkBAhv5
455Please respect copyright.PENANAmeTOZ4wIzh
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.455Please respect copyright.PENANAR47OSrhpxA
455Please respect copyright.PENANAX86g1epHPR
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.455Please respect copyright.PENANA9okpWf0r3E
455Please respect copyright.PENANAHFV6cG6kHc
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."455Please respect copyright.PENANAaQPNkriwCk
455Please respect copyright.PENANAneKvIOW3vP
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.455Please respect copyright.PENANAR5wjGZ5rGu
455Please respect copyright.PENANAvqbZSVea2D
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."455Please respect copyright.PENANAoFm4C0pz2E
455Please respect copyright.PENANAawtZPTBdzp
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.455Please respect copyright.PENANAPwUPa22beV
455Please respect copyright.PENANASDnARpNIra
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.455Please respect copyright.PENANA4bgYvWVmHf
455Please respect copyright.PENANAjQEstYtaIW
"This 'Johnny' thing?"455Please respect copyright.PENANA59GGDGycAj
455Please respect copyright.PENANAX8utkBlP3A
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.455Please respect copyright.PENANAISG5Godxxx
455Please respect copyright.PENANAR5eyCeBcWT
"Why would we?" I asked.455Please respect copyright.PENANAt4RuRI05hi
455Please respect copyright.PENANAMcbTpacA8F
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."455Please respect copyright.PENANAoT3SicMPNm
455Please respect copyright.PENANADS5Nvba1SM
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."455Please respect copyright.PENANAZbpRrHwBd1
455Please respect copyright.PENANAG9zsJj0QME
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."455Please respect copyright.PENANAxDRssWXSt4
455Please respect copyright.PENANAcuy0q7NByh
"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?"455Please respect copyright.PENANAyT4Nxxp2Tt
455Please respect copyright.PENANAUJXWs1kcty
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.455Please respect copyright.PENANAOND6Vxp8Zl
455Please respect copyright.PENANAXF5aSKMKff
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.455Please respect copyright.PENANAonhVZzg3Wx
455Please respect copyright.PENANA4pGjGHpTCx
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."455Please respect copyright.PENANALV6gU0Fx16
455Please respect copyright.PENANAgP336heI3t
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAGJ5Kln1lYt
455Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZaGSk2fXl
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.455Please respect copyright.PENANAyhP3pgWvHy
455Please respect copyright.PENANALmvfP4LXdT
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."455Please respect copyright.PENANAjXKriqY7VQ
455Please respect copyright.PENANAjNSb8VaImK
"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.455Please respect copyright.PENANA4HE9i6Nchb
455Please respect copyright.PENANAFDku50eqZk
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.455Please respect copyright.PENANAll9NRX2TP5
455Please respect copyright.PENANA7YnbhLeuXR
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.455Please respect copyright.PENANAGWd0B78SBl
455Please respect copyright.PENANAfbf0McNim5
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.455Please respect copyright.PENANA0PCrck0A9V
455Please respect copyright.PENANAKBWEunVoyM
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.455Please respect copyright.PENANAPSWr6BOnlN
455Please respect copyright.PENANA3yb9NMzvl7
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."455Please respect copyright.PENANAjS7F74Xwnm
455Please respect copyright.PENANAwVYOayEKKj
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.455Please respect copyright.PENANA68nFEvNPaX
455Please respect copyright.PENANA9hHy1krc1o
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.455Please respect copyright.PENANA73uRxBOhPu
455Please respect copyright.PENANAp8MRUVEAKk
"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."455Please respect copyright.PENANASpsK7BPKnx
455Please respect copyright.PENANAXUUL1Pdkay
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."455Please respect copyright.PENANAxsN0I5f66r
455Please respect copyright.PENANALMOCXXgPI6
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"455Please respect copyright.PENANAQStETdTSqH
455Please respect copyright.PENANAy9tIAkDOdV
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."455Please respect copyright.PENANARmGBMRD1bM
455Please respect copyright.PENANAXwviFgZONJ
"Really?"455Please respect copyright.PENANAaj0Q56Elrs
455Please respect copyright.PENANA6Fyjf971Lm
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"455Please respect copyright.PENANAAuBkE8yy6v
455Please respect copyright.PENANAfBV8Zu6liS
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."455Please respect copyright.PENANAnXqTor3AYD
455Please respect copyright.PENANAVo5iegYkjN
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."455Please respect copyright.PENANA5mSRZwA0xU
455Please respect copyright.PENANATbqHp84TGu
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.455Please respect copyright.PENANAG5zIlF5n5q
455Please respect copyright.PENANAh3IQvJckUV
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."455Please respect copyright.PENANAd6fZaph1pR
455Please respect copyright.PENANAMvEoZGDJKe
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.455Please respect copyright.PENANAezZrBBrL9C
455Please respect copyright.PENANA6oadtMg6VC
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.455Please respect copyright.PENANA1vJD5dLKkY
455Please respect copyright.PENANAPAwe3auze7
"Ya, you too," I answered as I smiled back.455Please respect copyright.PENANAMA8rToeQpu
455Please respect copyright.PENANAh7YtsIyg0h
He turned and walked to the elevator. I stood there and watched him leave.455Please respect copyright.PENANA9U4PJeUx8N
455Please respect copyright.PENANAoH6ivT2sEx
"Sam, get in here quick!" Zoey called out to me. "You have to see this!"455Please respect copyright.PENANAbrHexSGE0X
455Please respect copyright.PENANAdnRBmxkKhA
I quickly went back into the lounge and took my seat next to Lee.455Please respect copyright.PENANAP7AGvxIL2g
455Please respect copyright.PENANA786TJBGziO
"This better be worth the call," I said as I looked at Lee's tablet.455Please respect copyright.PENANAoDQkjTnzts
455Please respect copyright.PENANAA5WLADvA2f
"There was a dance video of Lisa and some girl," said Lee as she played the video for me.455Please respect copyright.PENANAHc43TBKJnz
455Please respect copyright.PENANA1jQ4ayONcl
I watched Lisa and the young lady danced to a popular K-Pop song. There were people around that watched and cheered.455Please respect copyright.PENANAWDPGwQhM9r
455Please respect copyright.PENANAvLMMD51fqp
"Well, that's cool," I said after the clip ended.455Please respect copyright.PENANAqPQoppNeKK
455Please respect copyright.PENANA1hSgZLoCeb
"These guys had a really good time," said Mike.455Please respect copyright.PENANABxFyLGyNg5
455Please respect copyright.PENANAISyDucEV55
"Ya, but with someone you consider your enemy," said Lee.455Please respect copyright.PENANAiYaqJe1uKM
455Please respect copyright.PENANAIcrIrp8rZM
"Whatever," said Christine. "We're way past that. We just don't want any drama with him."455Please respect copyright.PENANA1XlQbzX198
455Please respect copyright.PENANAyYmyRK9VdD
"That will be impossible since he got to hang out with G-Dragon, BlackPink and WINNER who happen to be your friends."455Please respect copyright.PENANAkYfxp6zQXe
455Please respect copyright.PENANAmIMqMjJLAc
"Ya, good point," said Daniel. "What do you think we should do?"455Please respect copyright.PENANAzkRfe132bf
455Please respect copyright.PENANAGR6DHL5bq4
"Do we really have to do anything?" Christine asked.455Please respect copyright.PENANATnDnhuYtT5
455Please respect copyright.PENANA2WWWype6I3
"Don't tell me you want to think of something like a battle strategy?" Lee asked.455Please respect copyright.PENANAXL8Jf4Hiak
455Please respect copyright.PENANAg3F44gblLF
"Why should we?" I asked. "We have a song to work on, remember? Johnny should be the least of our problems."455Please respect copyright.PENANACkQouffAWW
455Please respect copyright.PENANAJru9YWLqTU
"Something tells me we are going to meet him sooner than we anticipated," said Zoey.455Please respect copyright.PENANAntp55y8Nrz
455Please respect copyright.PENANA3zpmD5iuso
