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?495Please respect copyright.PENANADqOoHI9ZB6
495Please respect copyright.PENANAq5H75qVPU0
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.495Please respect copyright.PENANAH5MPhp91A7
495Please respect copyright.PENANAyyIjQMfndh
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.495Please respect copyright.PENANAgMCnP2raOm
495Please respect copyright.PENANAJn6nRC0LwF
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.495Please respect copyright.PENANAAToMJQBOcN
495Please respect copyright.PENANASRTvWcgSih
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.495Please respect copyright.PENANAJHqJQ2DORH
495Please respect copyright.PENANAoeyjVbyaqq
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.495Please respect copyright.PENANARnxhOTZt8X
495Please respect copyright.PENANASaNOeFdNoA
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.495Please respect copyright.PENANAdlLVVDNjQj
495Please respect copyright.PENANAhCr3C7qThK
"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?"495Please respect copyright.PENANAzM2BynbGx3
495Please respect copyright.PENANAgz9FrocCXL
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."495Please respect copyright.PENANApf2JHIKVpn
495Please respect copyright.PENANA8sCKTv0loJ
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.495Please respect copyright.PENANACY5Cy8Zed7
495Please respect copyright.PENANAaLVrBVJ5E0
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.495Please respect copyright.PENANAtJVZJVEpj7
495Please respect copyright.PENANAGPxeSBDRax
"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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAq7zzOtmLbW
495Please respect copyright.PENANAJKVlohJmNz
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAA3sdPSUjQv
495Please respect copyright.PENANAxc5J4uaIF3
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.495Please respect copyright.PENANAqON4hgzThM
495Please respect copyright.PENANA5Idw24ed64
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.495Please respect copyright.PENANA0WdwA94WjI
495Please respect copyright.PENANALbCW8RlV9r
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.495Please respect copyright.PENANA9baSrKDcg2
495Please respect copyright.PENANAP6BpQpt4e6
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANA8HE0UyQFkX
495Please respect copyright.PENANAqnzz4KmPY2
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANANtNVpyuUkV
495Please respect copyright.PENANAr8utpFqS4o
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."495Please respect copyright.PENANA2k7LLFsvDB
495Please respect copyright.PENANALfqmJTB4GC
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.495Please respect copyright.PENANAL9iVAIKg3B
495Please respect copyright.PENANAcgQAyCezfE
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANArNmRxwXx0L
495Please respect copyright.PENANAZvsx9ebiQ9
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANAdl7LxNRAo0
495Please respect copyright.PENANAQKIwjaHMUm
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."495Please respect copyright.PENANAiOYDgWMlc7
495Please respect copyright.PENANAw2jrehFDzW
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.495Please respect copyright.PENANAiKovE13iMu
495Please respect copyright.PENANA9XfkqRge02
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.495Please respect copyright.PENANAXqidqFoTYr
495Please respect copyright.PENANAWQj49ibFXl
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.495Please respect copyright.PENANAgMvApJGBFB
495Please respect copyright.PENANARFYHXZrRa1
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANALD6J9tHB15
495Please respect copyright.PENANA154k9Efb2R
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."495Please respect copyright.PENANA3ox0ECF6Ks
495Please respect copyright.PENANAkrKIOUtaTE
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.495Please respect copyright.PENANAC3I77tBIMb
495Please respect copyright.PENANAIeBFHQCJlF
"Sometimes I think you cheat."495Please respect copyright.PENANAxkLqm1jSL9
495Please respect copyright.PENANAoViuPxVgJ2
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANA5IakvX82OQ
495Please respect copyright.PENANANku8hlIxsm
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."495Please respect copyright.PENANAhxWhi6NSTa
495Please respect copyright.PENANApFo8KdZPga
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.495Please respect copyright.PENANADxtMnPJGXd
495Please respect copyright.PENANAJnOEOYkKB3
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.495Please respect copyright.PENANAZtndZcsJrz
495Please respect copyright.PENANA7n7utXw1Vv
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.495Please respect copyright.PENANANhI9EfrJhe
495Please respect copyright.PENANA9wLuOw7KiS
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANA7leaiTxLFW
495Please respect copyright.PENANAlwX3g1CVtR
"I better go give them a call, then."495Please respect copyright.PENANAMEgGH7TtNY
495Please respect copyright.PENANAfEdAt0jfVE
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAKyIRM5te0t
495Please respect copyright.PENANAGEOROLC6fB
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAgSSbV5NZEo
495Please respect copyright.PENANAcceAn78Jqz
"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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAU5X092KvXA
495Please respect copyright.PENANAhalFfMLlHu
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAoe63Y9qMyE
495Please respect copyright.PENANAIkO064Cr88
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAVHV4Z9FM79
495Please respect copyright.PENANAWQRRUZXg6g
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?495Please respect copyright.PENANAVpEnRC8l0E
495Please respect copyright.PENANAGFcied06jP
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAceLb5eIylP
495Please respect copyright.PENANANOpWolXzgX
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.495Please respect copyright.PENANAxHhw3yYNOs
495Please respect copyright.PENANALQ2p41vtxt
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANAqVsQBQuFbP
495Please respect copyright.PENANAgXDMPe4WgE
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."495Please respect copyright.PENANArSnF51JXKH
495Please respect copyright.PENANAgornXIG5v0
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"495Please respect copyright.PENANAwAa32N0XOi
495Please respect copyright.PENANAHdPIJH0iyg
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"495Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3drVEjBe7
495Please respect copyright.PENANAUMWqQS2W7e
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAByGo1ip3BB
495Please respect copyright.PENANAZDA83z1nmT
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9ykovvOWb
495Please respect copyright.PENANAP5tQcVEJLa
"Ya, sure."495Please respect copyright.PENANAkOv10MMKPB
495Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ow2MWHxhI
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAXOS9ceeJog
495Please respect copyright.PENANApRl2MtOdez
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.495Please respect copyright.PENANAhPzTpzVQDo
495Please respect copyright.PENANA90wAKRinLD
"Anything?" Zoey asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANAM4wUwf85KY
495Please respect copyright.PENANA0537nq1fhA
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAIFbxZdHqP0
495Please respect copyright.PENANAbBD7VcXxwT
"Okay, well, we can wait."495Please respect copyright.PENANAehWhl5jJUw
495Please respect copyright.PENANAbFSKLVrAJy
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."495Please respect copyright.PENANAz2FNtf2dbj
495Please respect copyright.PENANA9WBLMlAvss
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."495Please respect copyright.PENANAt1CzQ9wizO
495Please respect copyright.PENANAeud16oNwjO
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."495Please respect copyright.PENANAmltm6ZWlxR
495Please respect copyright.PENANAW105YrR5rf
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."495Please respect copyright.PENANAPwHAD7Muhi
495Please respect copyright.PENANA6OufyBnMw9
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."495Please respect copyright.PENANA9jyJ9RCowx
495Please respect copyright.PENANAPVsq0prYps
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.495Please respect copyright.PENANA1J2JrHKHXd
495Please respect copyright.PENANAQBXNg0r5J6
"We can't work on the song without them."495Please respect copyright.PENANAoQh44p1d0A
495Please respect copyright.PENANAIaHGTok7w1
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."495Please respect copyright.PENANAKIQxezblnX
495Please respect copyright.PENANA8pE3dW1lT9
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4GfxXW1SW
495Please respect copyright.PENANAdf3l8E0T7D
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."495Please respect copyright.PENANAGEgD6cR1Kp
495Please respect copyright.PENANA2FBuowEXVR
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.495Please respect copyright.PENANAWqtvSLUzls
495Please respect copyright.PENANAvOLqmMGjtn
"Then get your guitar and notebook."495Please respect copyright.PENANAqPLBRpiOHC
495Please respect copyright.PENANAddPYAyyHLl
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."495Please respect copyright.PENANAhV1hSQOzLM
495Please respect copyright.PENANACOhbK4TCqp
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"495Please respect copyright.PENANARFjq8o36vi
495Please respect copyright.PENANAeBgQWXKiIr
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."495Please respect copyright.PENANA64o3sf1U4I
495Please respect copyright.PENANAx9IYvHYAG5
"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.495Please respect copyright.PENANA7JYZIConyM
495Please respect copyright.PENANAm7pbwLPRLb
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAbY7xC1bBOh
495Please respect copyright.PENANADlPwiKhjAw
"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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAMn9zwhpJ03
495Please respect copyright.PENANAc67Sy6WFAU
"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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAVdY484inbM
495Please respect copyright.PENANA7DdYG9KpVx
"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?"495Please respect copyright.PENANA9ca7tSTFCa
495Please respect copyright.PENANA66pgzdnug2
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.495Please respect copyright.PENANAhvaOkuiBmK
495Please respect copyright.PENANAYy5K3NpSon
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."495Please respect copyright.PENANAlCBiDZvTaI
495Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3wah7OcP2
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.495Please respect copyright.PENANACnrJPEDTsO
495Please respect copyright.PENANAFXAI8JD32V
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.495Please respect copyright.PENANA1gFDy9Dmh0
495Please respect copyright.PENANAX0GMBwcEh9
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.495Please respect copyright.PENANAlvEJ0IMupy
495Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ9thftxo7
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.495Please respect copyright.PENANAASMJec27rL
495Please respect copyright.PENANA9WxWKMAPaX
"Yes, really," I answered.495Please respect copyright.PENANAmhIDkw8t9m
495Please respect copyright.PENANAQf6PeoBBhs
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAue3EFsoFfT
495Please respect copyright.PENANA7aV1XjJPLz
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."495Please respect copyright.PENANAeuricpoUKA
495Please respect copyright.PENANApogCHyHa3Z
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.495Please respect copyright.PENANApCIX3ie8sM
495Please respect copyright.PENANAYInzTFbw2M
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.495Please respect copyright.PENANAY1gV61NNMp
495Please respect copyright.PENANAcrn8myinMv
"What went well?" Lee asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANAHH7PailVDh
495Please respect copyright.PENANArC915ukdmw
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.495Please respect copyright.PENANAZqeluHkTEA
495Please respect copyright.PENANADxTN2CTkYM
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANApvQbqAkeBw
495Please respect copyright.PENANAgPF45jw1ol
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAbr6GUX46gb
495Please respect copyright.PENANAQqyY8CVEJh
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.495Please respect copyright.PENANAVdwGMKnnf2
495Please respect copyright.PENANAP8Et1luDdd
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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAUouWnYeXlj
495Please respect copyright.PENANA4iT5j9MwrL
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.495Please respect copyright.PENANA7aWdIcUWSV
495Please respect copyright.PENANAaUU7k2bViu
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAVr1ZkxgZ1p
495Please respect copyright.PENANAegYyyRdym5
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.495Please respect copyright.PENANA8jEY41sRkg
495Please respect copyright.PENANAUeFCiyedWM
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.495Please respect copyright.PENANA5ef5URQUUs
495Please respect copyright.PENANA7yuc2FFwPh
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.495Please respect copyright.PENANAWXZdhfI9cd
495Please respect copyright.PENANA27MQCIYsKy
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.495Please respect copyright.PENANAqHOeETNwpL
495Please respect copyright.PENANAf2ZbBXnzSo
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANA6aDfuEX2uQ
495Please respect copyright.PENANAbXuSQMSzmM
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.495Please respect copyright.PENANAlI0XdiV4YX
495Please respect copyright.PENANAVKO0yssZVb
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANAhVm0WxUGN4
495Please respect copyright.PENANAOLZuImIwAm
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.495Please respect copyright.PENANAXOashxMYhz
495Please respect copyright.PENANAt5XL1MnbFg
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."495Please respect copyright.PENANAWC7WORsupv
495Please respect copyright.PENANAPWbeILiG70
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"495Please respect copyright.PENANAB6lp6EtKyd
495Please respect copyright.PENANAWjevTKzkJz
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAjQ1RFOVu67
495Please respect copyright.PENANAHeOJOmaebM
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"495Please respect copyright.PENANARj9Pxzu0am
495Please respect copyright.PENANAACJIhuvpLT
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."495Please respect copyright.PENANAhqjET83kKi
495Please respect copyright.PENANAf7t1tfMwUI
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.495Please respect copyright.PENANApNt0R2D0sJ
495Please respect copyright.PENANAf3dW2I7ofK
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."495Please respect copyright.PENANAfRVmRmPFwI
495Please respect copyright.PENANAPAnMXmQ8G6
"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?"495Please respect copyright.PENANAfrq01tIJ6C
495Please respect copyright.PENANAq1aBrx0f4x
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.495Please respect copyright.PENANAptraIc98qy
495Please respect copyright.PENANAWvEH2OrTIa
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.495Please respect copyright.PENANAqfksRhhwtG
495Please respect copyright.PENANAWsn3nigRAA
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"495Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2GRGXoOMs
495Please respect copyright.PENANAGlyC7Vvc7X
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.495Please respect copyright.PENANAYortq9Hdnd
495Please respect copyright.PENANAfwT4PLDiys
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.495Please respect copyright.PENANAUV39u5C56X
495Please respect copyright.PENANAOA7wcvDIhY
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAXHOCcUpWaB
495Please respect copyright.PENANAOubpQeh3CF
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.495Please respect copyright.PENANA6U7UQSTvog
495Please respect copyright.PENANAsHo24VLwLi
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"495Please respect copyright.PENANAMx3BKg5H6m
495Please respect copyright.PENANAjbUinjuS6t
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAg9FmzSngeQ
495Please respect copyright.PENANAo134YAuPPt
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANASjLyxOQpPb
495Please respect copyright.PENANA2wZTrVdzsg
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANAkEBus36ddp
495Please respect copyright.PENANAKf8pmcmLxO
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAp7UVTC5b0l
495Please respect copyright.PENANApC8C25WbnJ
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."495Please respect copyright.PENANA1EUoD4YW34
495Please respect copyright.PENANAltdJutblIp
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."495Please respect copyright.PENANAi56RCBxWuS
495Please respect copyright.PENANANmionLWPUJ
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.495Please respect copyright.PENANAU38b2lTPrv
495Please respect copyright.PENANAfz5LHH8ojF
"What is it?" Christine asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANAFt8IxFxIu6
495Please respect copyright.PENANAXcJt3UXCGx
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.495Please respect copyright.PENANApblXWUMn8E

"He's here," I said.495Please respect copyright.PENANA5g4rJLeXRQ
495Please respect copyright.PENANAfDkCAAWi4A
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"495Please respect copyright.PENANAfA8OIAI1DJ
495Please respect copyright.PENANAY68rJKbzWI
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.495Please respect copyright.PENANAT6nzsL47ij
495Please respect copyright.PENANAZS7fxF6l3q
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.495Please respect copyright.PENANAA0avrIMGUF
495Please respect copyright.PENANAuLhn4uf5bI
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.495Please respect copyright.PENANAcGewzDO2Q1
495Please respect copyright.PENANAI6oBESkLuu
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"495Please respect copyright.PENANA2muFo3X14z
495Please respect copyright.PENANAseZGGqYHej
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.495Please respect copyright.PENANATtgLua0ER0
495Please respect copyright.PENANAUu3ImaByDM
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."495Please respect copyright.PENANAvyEu6p4E1G
495Please respect copyright.PENANARBsK4kicEx
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANASdCp3gecKK
495Please respect copyright.PENANAaBGLoYsH8A
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.495Please respect copyright.PENANA2Q5wDHodsi
495Please respect copyright.PENANAprGfEGgPmK
"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.495Please respect copyright.PENANArJ24VjlEeo
495Please respect copyright.PENANAmGyV2al5uD
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.495Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7yb1izwdn
495Please respect copyright.PENANAfLxeecCWjT
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.495Please respect copyright.PENANAesVUGEjQXE
495Please respect copyright.PENANACbbSlhslif
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."495Please respect copyright.PENANABcVGWYI1SO
495Please respect copyright.PENANAP4pEucZaxJ
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANA4hKzn9qpPO
495Please respect copyright.PENANAAYIqm24Yco
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAIhkNXk5nk6
495Please respect copyright.PENANAPiLJa27tXd
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.495Please respect copyright.PENANA6no7ilDMDM
495Please respect copyright.PENANA90FsGBSVGp
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.495Please respect copyright.PENANA1b1tPszBcW
495Please respect copyright.PENANAiFxDk8tJhF
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"495Please respect copyright.PENANA8Svam4eHNW
495Please respect copyright.PENANAKOf7eIDE7L
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.495Please respect copyright.PENANAGoDqC2QtOz
495Please respect copyright.PENANAqk4yVt9RYC
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."495Please respect copyright.PENANAEHRvYQrcYx
495Please respect copyright.PENANAQqOHdwI7gN
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."495Please respect copyright.PENANAv65QKJ0TAa
495Please respect copyright.PENANANaQD5ViDli
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANAUmsdclv0eD
495Please respect copyright.PENANAJlpgCZBU0L
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."495Please respect copyright.PENANAv5ygzkNXtf
495Please respect copyright.PENANAIOXTrwMGGr
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.495Please respect copyright.PENANACbIQS6Zb1a
495Please respect copyright.PENANAISncCOhDN2
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.495Please respect copyright.PENANAtJlvdUhmXC
495Please respect copyright.PENANAW5RHHQBOaT
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....495Please respect copyright.PENANACfI329vmMn
495Please respect copyright.PENANAJsC36VupWO
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."495Please respect copyright.PENANAVNToxQOfec
495Please respect copyright.PENANA2UwUMpwYGY
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"495Please respect copyright.PENANATecpijMPLn
495Please respect copyright.PENANAOLXxUgMjld
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAAipv1Z3veS
495Please respect copyright.PENANAk01VBsz97S
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."495Please respect copyright.PENANAQG8fm065OJ
495Please respect copyright.PENANAZBL4nKNER7
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.495Please respect copyright.PENANAltX2HP5bdm
495Please respect copyright.PENANAcNRApgGKXo
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZX8aURSVV
495Please respect copyright.PENANAzQhOZxx00l
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."495Please respect copyright.PENANAGPnZKWCHPR
495Please respect copyright.PENANAszGSxxR7gF
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANANxDcK2ybBm
495Please respect copyright.PENANAo4peF8BMrU
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAbpcsKiRqGQ
495Please respect copyright.PENANABqZPmQTJ7B
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"495Please respect copyright.PENANAEEHIENEOhW
495Please respect copyright.PENANAGHp8sxBbDX
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAVqjNdoXPta
495Please respect copyright.PENANAKiWLDA9wz0
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.495Please respect copyright.PENANAGX1H27RfgU
495Please respect copyright.PENANAmT7plcXcV5
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."495Please respect copyright.PENANAmWNUIFRFTx
495Please respect copyright.PENANAIbJAjT5DDm
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.495Please respect copyright.PENANAmn1JHpETWg
495Please respect copyright.PENANA48CEFnZDaQ
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANAo6iXRJwIKO
495Please respect copyright.PENANA9AbS5R4CKP
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.495Please respect copyright.PENANAr2CotdL6Iq
495Please respect copyright.PENANAHOAFwdqoDU
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.495Please respect copyright.PENANAIfL8ZwxDS0
495Please respect copyright.PENANAY77Y0msolQ
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANACJiyuSuamI
495Please respect copyright.PENANAFKViHsg7pm
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAgkQSZ3EDSS
495Please respect copyright.PENANAcKFsbvEMHE
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.495Please respect copyright.PENANAVUEjtkoNKE
495Please respect copyright.PENANAO7p8GjedT7
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."495Please respect copyright.PENANA14Y3m6XAvt
495Please respect copyright.PENANAo57ZQDOdKw
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAGodfAKTlhG
495Please respect copyright.PENANARLJvrkJ9Bu
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANA7w5wfPpfYA
495Please respect copyright.PENANAK9vpc3qNxs
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.495Please respect copyright.PENANAD1hs9YfwXj
495Please respect copyright.PENANAGBcLsLySp2
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAUPI4RUe1O0
495Please respect copyright.PENANAQtmqjcBmYC
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."495Please respect copyright.PENANADQ6m195DCm
495Please respect copyright.PENANAqOsMQcyrL7
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"495Please respect copyright.PENANA1eNls9jNLT
495Please respect copyright.PENANAqUNDwpLrnp
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."495Please respect copyright.PENANA95rwt2AFAB
495Please respect copyright.PENANAg547XzPyyR
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."495Please respect copyright.PENANATQHZXJFbfO
495Please respect copyright.PENANAYsfCyKuSgT
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..."495Please respect copyright.PENANAQy9L3q4rOb
495Please respect copyright.PENANAlfMrN18IBy
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"495Please respect copyright.PENANAMnZpi400cI
495Please respect copyright.PENANA9NnhbMneBU
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.495Please respect copyright.PENANAv2G4ZRhF0F
495Please respect copyright.PENANA70cTe04ZWh
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.495Please respect copyright.PENANA8yrQwxBHpF
495Please respect copyright.PENANAh5DIGfaSu9
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.495Please respect copyright.PENANATmnpfT4OKM
495Please respect copyright.PENANANPbzE4KADG
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.495Please respect copyright.PENANARHaHFbmhTr
495Please respect copyright.PENANA5Vd6M3T9UB
"I can't believe it" she said.495Please respect copyright.PENANAoqT1INIyFb
495Please respect copyright.PENANAouhQ9euJQ0
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.495Please respect copyright.PENANA8yqFeqhNnh
495Please respect copyright.PENANAO7EaUdUUpG
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.495Please respect copyright.PENANAh0coLLKPbG
495Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1bywVg1gE
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.495Please respect copyright.PENANAG0sbrsmNyC
495Please respect copyright.PENANAb7ZiMB05Gg
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.495Please respect copyright.PENANA9LArZ0W1Ya
495Please respect copyright.PENANAJ74nxv3TLV
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAKrEVWKQxFO
495Please respect copyright.PENANAmH71PQUk25
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAMQzhJqaY8d
495Please respect copyright.PENANAOLPo8uxEmD
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:495Please respect copyright.PENANA35TSyibHzF
495Please respect copyright.PENANAZsGXHembUi
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.495Please respect copyright.PENANAOpM66n2yA7
495Please respect copyright.PENANAD0sl1CyDfm
"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.495Please respect copyright.PENANA0woKRCAI8k
495Please respect copyright.PENANAPJGAi06hc9
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAjIi6UayhJZ
495Please respect copyright.PENANAjTIaDEOJrN
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."495Please respect copyright.PENANAxxEepnLCCY
495Please respect copyright.PENANApUQLm3LQkG
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.495Please respect copyright.PENANAqSvXtJKp6K
495Please respect copyright.PENANAF3Ao8BfC97
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.495Please respect copyright.PENANA011sahizXJ
495Please respect copyright.PENANAeORMmRiGtQ
"He seems pretty cool."495Please respect copyright.PENANAHJY7VQrHOx
495Please respect copyright.PENANANA7ITkpHGT
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.495Please respect copyright.PENANAFb7rNIOBd4
495Please respect copyright.PENANASIynNS55GH
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANASNb3FH9VOc
495Please respect copyright.PENANAcb53XnSsHP
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."495Please respect copyright.PENANAd1WqpWS6NN
495Please respect copyright.PENANAOLW7eXu6lk
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.495Please respect copyright.PENANACFYz4Aj5er
495Please respect copyright.PENANAh4Dudj7sCG
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."495Please respect copyright.PENANAko27486zZW
495Please respect copyright.PENANAnwo25PTSaU
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANAcfcbifWrxb
495Please respect copyright.PENANA0IfGi9d0TD
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.495Please respect copyright.PENANAK8CYyFrlgc
495Please respect copyright.PENANAFL189SzJk9
"This 'Johnny' thing?"495Please respect copyright.PENANAjbiZO9U182
495Please respect copyright.PENANAKbx2DKW4OX
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.495Please respect copyright.PENANATRHyORFyqY
495Please respect copyright.PENANANBpcIPypTD
"Why would we?" I asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANAHEIC9Bt3RQ
495Please respect copyright.PENANATFeO0Bk5XB
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."495Please respect copyright.PENANA8XJhFCo5fu
495Please respect copyright.PENANApC5bx3sR7Y
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."495Please respect copyright.PENANAr0a2Z0gMRI
495Please respect copyright.PENANAwB7bU5UteL
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."495Please respect copyright.PENANAzuZgEJBJGI
495Please respect copyright.PENANAvofKIup24k
"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?"495Please respect copyright.PENANA24Msiu00s7
495Please respect copyright.PENANAwNjU0w1Und
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.495Please respect copyright.PENANACpnbY1YjjQ
495Please respect copyright.PENANAV65IsWzETQ
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANApuijLJItZs
495Please respect copyright.PENANAI6zL1VGrpD
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."495Please respect copyright.PENANAyahWtxqX2c
495Please respect copyright.PENANAXOld6v9T7J
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZgFqK2Ge9
495Please respect copyright.PENANAEKtURNkiX5
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.495Please respect copyright.PENANAqRlghkPGxj
495Please respect copyright.PENANAguzzT9M7qu
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."495Please respect copyright.PENANAlHusNxrsIQ
495Please respect copyright.PENANA6wOBYxHsLR
"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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAyLbic2Kqd2
495Please respect copyright.PENANAjqqvieCxns
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.495Please respect copyright.PENANAesretIAEja
495Please respect copyright.PENANAIh7DjSiTPI
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.495Please respect copyright.PENANA5B43OAezbO
495Please respect copyright.PENANAAtof3mqUOA
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.495Please respect copyright.PENANA9cGqNQ4M9l
495Please respect copyright.PENANANXlCJtx8ia
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.495Please respect copyright.PENANATZI7dpcBu6
495Please respect copyright.PENANAsGkQ00Gmom
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."495Please respect copyright.PENANAySV4TfbHfL
495Please respect copyright.PENANAZraGkwId8b
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.495Please respect copyright.PENANAlPu0r6d8Ee
495Please respect copyright.PENANApA1xOhZ2TR
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.495Please respect copyright.PENANA0WXa8u12Dv
495Please respect copyright.PENANAAZG8L6l9yD
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAlCa76ShejN
495Please respect copyright.PENANAohi6jYvDUq
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."495Please respect copyright.PENANA77WMBItbCG
495Please respect copyright.PENANAZM7u7CjDON
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"495Please respect copyright.PENANAntsmf3AVeh
495Please respect copyright.PENANA1irKyjthia
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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAm4Ber5GgE5
495Please respect copyright.PENANA1dfCiARrpq
"Really?"495Please respect copyright.PENANAk2khLtkMG9
495Please respect copyright.PENANAPm0CvwPjhN
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"495Please respect copyright.PENANA6pyDK2tnGT
495Please respect copyright.PENANAarMexSxRxL
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."495Please respect copyright.PENANA4snSr50vch
495Please respect copyright.PENANA2aUkI5X00g
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."495Please respect copyright.PENANAog5fgg8O1W
495Please respect copyright.PENANAhCI1JMgLWb
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.495Please respect copyright.PENANA5STl3rtxSc
495Please respect copyright.PENANAi4prO4ut0m
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."495Please respect copyright.PENANAU2Ca16nCbb
495Please respect copyright.PENANAXRRRcSyWh7
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANA9qiAtffTtH
495Please respect copyright.PENANAEsG4VSq5P9
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.495Please respect copyright.PENANAZvn0SXiQd6
495Please respect copyright.PENANASb8eobfjy3
"Ya, you too," I answered as I smiled back.495Please respect copyright.PENANABtq8XCl1S4
495Please respect copyright.PENANAgaxBWBITtm
He turned and walked to the elevator. I stood there and watched him leave.495Please respect copyright.PENANABL6PGnOpU8
495Please respect copyright.PENANAw32CNUVaBI
"Sam, get in here quick!" Zoey called out to me. "You have to see this!"495Please respect copyright.PENANAlyU7GbPEqN
495Please respect copyright.PENANAAwzdZjEZbW
I quickly went back into the lounge and took my seat next to Lee.495Please respect copyright.PENANAW1p79pVfHR
495Please respect copyright.PENANAsbCGspj7aK
"This better be worth the call," I said as I looked at Lee's tablet.495Please respect copyright.PENANAsz64gMP4nE
495Please respect copyright.PENANAndstWrJAPh
"There was a dance video of Lisa and some girl," said Lee as she played the video for me.495Please respect copyright.PENANAs19IwH6xUF
495Please respect copyright.PENANAVuGdDoq6mS
I watched Lisa and the young lady danced to a popular K-Pop song. There were people around that watched and cheered.495Please respect copyright.PENANAegMSfroCqm
495Please respect copyright.PENANAcxNT0PfAK1
"Well, that's cool," I said after the clip ended.495Please respect copyright.PENANAupcAJlqCbw
495Please respect copyright.PENANAmBf4HSy3ro
"These guys had a really good time," said Mike.495Please respect copyright.PENANAmA0q1JYGtg
495Please respect copyright.PENANAGznKrbqloU
"Ya, but with someone you consider your enemy," said Lee.495Please respect copyright.PENANAGL0TRI1vZz
495Please respect copyright.PENANAqm02jTJ8Dd
"Whatever," said Christine. "We're way past that. We just don't want any drama with him."495Please respect copyright.PENANAvFcIAVtorK
495Please respect copyright.PENANASDhPhUr3Bd
"That will be impossible since he got to hang out with G-Dragon, BlackPink and WINNER who happen to be your friends."495Please respect copyright.PENANA06q1ga2TvK
495Please respect copyright.PENANAucLUdn6C3H
"Ya, good point," said Daniel. "What do you think we should do?"495Please respect copyright.PENANAjPwobHE8Fh
495Please respect copyright.PENANAIMfPIdLGQF
"Do we really have to do anything?" Christine asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANAWR5I50L8K7
495Please respect copyright.PENANA42RqUG15v0
"Don't tell me you want to think of something like a battle strategy?" Lee asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANAzmkfiAbdqt
495Please respect copyright.PENANAjG1yZymcnV
"Why should we?" I asked. "We have a song to work on, remember? Johnny should be the least of our problems."495Please respect copyright.PENANAGF8TAHIQWw
495Please respect copyright.PENANA6bbO104msH
"Something tells me we are going to meet him sooner than we anticipated," said Zoey.495Please respect copyright.PENANALLbZ5lEJFb
495Please respect copyright.PENANA7LvNa9FjFE
