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?869Please respect copyright.PENANAhlGoqpeoWl
869Please respect copyright.PENANAR1Q2mUAoAN
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.869Please respect copyright.PENANA7E971ydidU
869Please respect copyright.PENANAfR4oY5rN9V
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.869Please respect copyright.PENANAcwVjDe2UZu
869Please respect copyright.PENANALx8fO9WXWu
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.869Please respect copyright.PENANAPcaJF9jTgJ
869Please respect copyright.PENANAVxf6r3gO2V
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.869Please respect copyright.PENANAbttZ5RZBIO
869Please respect copyright.PENANAbhPUDJjXrx
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.869Please respect copyright.PENANA3O1i1cVUon
869Please respect copyright.PENANA8h5Fya1QHU
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.869Please respect copyright.PENANAc8EZFOuK7z
869Please respect copyright.PENANAzaELsA3XPs
"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?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAJI5j1LdcIy
869Please respect copyright.PENANAyLM0eywc4f
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."869Please respect copyright.PENANAWb3Gwl5MwJ
869Please respect copyright.PENANAt7wLchuBij
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.869Please respect copyright.PENANAkNbHXZ9jjX
869Please respect copyright.PENANAltMcxe5e5q
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.869Please respect copyright.PENANArG5JJDMZQN
869Please respect copyright.PENANAUaAXXstGxS
"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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAYn0kV5QHsg
869Please respect copyright.PENANANXZRGqE5mO
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANA4lX0ruS3vr
869Please respect copyright.PENANARk8dqXHlUd
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.869Please respect copyright.PENANA6YdsW6Aucw
869Please respect copyright.PENANA0XVeC2Ptp8
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.869Please respect copyright.PENANAnynqlI8StU
869Please respect copyright.PENANA9NxjfS0Exn
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.869Please respect copyright.PENANAgA5sPsXU1E
869Please respect copyright.PENANAjbFfNvkdov
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANAGLnzpu9YDX
869Please respect copyright.PENANARnSt0KRsrR
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANAfy0YZz3nbD
869Please respect copyright.PENANAr6hmG2JfaC
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."869Please respect copyright.PENANA2lRUHFY2K4
869Please respect copyright.PENANAsHHobuEySN
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.869Please respect copyright.PENANAy3S2gFJ8U4
869Please respect copyright.PENANAzqVeHoqyzg
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANApBbMphm3tx
869Please respect copyright.PENANAqULUs7ewZE
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANAlyrKCAjCJI
869Please respect copyright.PENANAHNktMdiGx2
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."869Please respect copyright.PENANAzqGCauXQiy
869Please respect copyright.PENANAG57NqnWKs7
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.869Please respect copyright.PENANAII4LWEj5Qz
869Please respect copyright.PENANA8tl2la08nQ
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.869Please respect copyright.PENANA2X6KTHhDcF
869Please respect copyright.PENANAhP34pvIbxf
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.869Please respect copyright.PENANA6JKXqOffqU
869Please respect copyright.PENANAW3DaVmxezO
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANArpezWiyA9y
869Please respect copyright.PENANAV2cHs0OfAX
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."869Please respect copyright.PENANAaPlwP8fp8R
869Please respect copyright.PENANAzhef02C7Z2
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.869Please respect copyright.PENANAqAXX7QWlS3
869Please respect copyright.PENANAzT6TvMDkBg
"Sometimes I think you cheat."869Please respect copyright.PENANAYge2PvyZB9
869Please respect copyright.PENANAYSX08YMTVU
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANAqzy4Z5y7As
869Please respect copyright.PENANAWXW1PuZBmi
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."869Please respect copyright.PENANA6OG0gCSpOz
869Please respect copyright.PENANA8b38c2cvFl
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.869Please respect copyright.PENANA3Zo5toF3yP
869Please respect copyright.PENANAhSUxDKxLhT
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.869Please respect copyright.PENANAJP5wBnb0FF
869Please respect copyright.PENANAN5O57uk8Hh
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.869Please respect copyright.PENANAeGIH2AliA3
869Please respect copyright.PENANA4KfPSV6npz
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANAEh3uCAwGw1
869Please respect copyright.PENANAVRdkrlPMiE
"I better go give them a call, then."869Please respect copyright.PENANAakvkvEMEct
869Please respect copyright.PENANAHw5mI6xGXF
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANABWOD8pOQnF
869Please respect copyright.PENANAlP47eWFuOv
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANA75BbMXkHOv
869Please respect copyright.PENANAhT7lO5Oyob
"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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAiIXHl32uP7
869Please respect copyright.PENANAmXNVVTIRB4
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANA7yw3xE5Ib5
869Please respect copyright.PENANAfkVTqG52MG
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAmtGXGxJztE
869Please respect copyright.PENANA7PUtLgodoP
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?869Please respect copyright.PENANALKW0DHfBbb
869Please respect copyright.PENANATSYcSS4hCq
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANA4RNfA28Pnz
869Please respect copyright.PENANAa30hHOoGjh
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.869Please respect copyright.PENANAoa8IIv8sEb
869Please respect copyright.PENANABRzpvDX53w
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANAj4Yq6KsoP7
869Please respect copyright.PENANA9jfgmqGeXi
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."869Please respect copyright.PENANAicCa0bJGYs
869Please respect copyright.PENANAMaZGeiGrKC
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"869Please respect copyright.PENANABtwHJWp3m9
869Please respect copyright.PENANAc2FW1E7890
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAnYmeEbuKdg
869Please respect copyright.PENANAl0x2mRbw7Z
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANAinlSiIF9X0
869Please respect copyright.PENANAxiQzIdpTok
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANAmJSt9diuty
869Please respect copyright.PENANAeiNyRStS4Y
"Ya, sure."869Please respect copyright.PENANANVHCYUdH0o
869Please respect copyright.PENANAqGxZ6dpR6S
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAN14tjqBzEV
869Please respect copyright.PENANABLM1AFY6oo
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.869Please respect copyright.PENANAWpjpwDbvTl
869Please respect copyright.PENANAGzvlerpm9b
"Anything?" Zoey asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANAQjntHLwfuB
869Please respect copyright.PENANAhk1BNGU4SH
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANAw6tIBDCx0R
869Please respect copyright.PENANAidSoPELNmU
"Okay, well, we can wait."869Please respect copyright.PENANAqtKkFVxRl2
869Please respect copyright.PENANAHRDywJ9Kw2
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."869Please respect copyright.PENANAtWNW23hWeZ
869Please respect copyright.PENANAC7RzIHUu5s
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."869Please respect copyright.PENANA0uy4DhldQY
869Please respect copyright.PENANABO3shrBKky
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."869Please respect copyright.PENANAeC1jXMIM06
869Please respect copyright.PENANAdMlnOTyQ0k
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."869Please respect copyright.PENANAHs8govDPbZ
869Please respect copyright.PENANAvFAB8JmcCu
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."869Please respect copyright.PENANAIfXzaE0bzi
869Please respect copyright.PENANAY9zxOdqyVl
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.869Please respect copyright.PENANAB7FymrFtF6
869Please respect copyright.PENANAX1iR7qz8Y6
"We can't work on the song without them."869Please respect copyright.PENANATdh015blzO
869Please respect copyright.PENANAVvwWWiwfhQ
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."869Please respect copyright.PENANA55r1mHgSGS
869Please respect copyright.PENANANNqBQuZS5z
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANAf8P3i7QMKo
869Please respect copyright.PENANArm27IAndJw
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."869Please respect copyright.PENANAUl4HDYWw4w
869Please respect copyright.PENANAdfkOayUMqR
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.869Please respect copyright.PENANAOZQUq57UcQ
869Please respect copyright.PENANAVadCkS34Cg
"Then get your guitar and notebook."869Please respect copyright.PENANAfKPBGmmSzb
869Please respect copyright.PENANAIl6N1eAPj0
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."869Please respect copyright.PENANA4bmlmXL0xm
869Please respect copyright.PENANAzzRO7Axt2b
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAia4CRpYZkJ
869Please respect copyright.PENANA1b8v6ks2TO
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."869Please respect copyright.PENANADFr4nQALRT
869Please respect copyright.PENANACKF0aQ8CZ2
"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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAzsYX0fpUyO
869Please respect copyright.PENANAbOsN6MVt92
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAEkXwpyd8Yd
869Please respect copyright.PENANA2rulrz2NV5
"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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAB1Juaznqrf
869Please respect copyright.PENANAtQioM8AF3j
"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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAgS2fmBlxxY
869Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZTL03uftc
"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?"869Please respect copyright.PENANA2aMJoOM8uG
869Please respect copyright.PENANAbbySBxZ6yy
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.869Please respect copyright.PENANANqkp65OOxy
869Please respect copyright.PENANAAucOvBDD1y
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."869Please respect copyright.PENANAxLJQjWXayp
869Please respect copyright.PENANANwvOnsfaR5
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.869Please respect copyright.PENANA1VHxIPGPux
869Please respect copyright.PENANAmE7a8H9rx4
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.869Please respect copyright.PENANAvzdiZR4uQe
869Please respect copyright.PENANA5gpK3zGB6P
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.869Please respect copyright.PENANA873V3QAtUF
869Please respect copyright.PENANAzRriH5iiAp
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.869Please respect copyright.PENANAWWiJo4fADe
869Please respect copyright.PENANAnaHqHI9LxV
"Yes, really," I answered.869Please respect copyright.PENANAHWQUWXyXpl
869Please respect copyright.PENANAohoZI9d62H
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANAKivjLugcej
869Please respect copyright.PENANAfIVTn6KGOe
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."869Please respect copyright.PENANAMp62FfUJHs
869Please respect copyright.PENANAf1NmUi0hCC
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.869Please respect copyright.PENANADn9kkazMC4
869Please respect copyright.PENANA34nEH524kx
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.869Please respect copyright.PENANAuRajt0aP6u
869Please respect copyright.PENANAmwfkK2qxc8
"What went well?" Lee asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANA1S4zKfWrnR
869Please respect copyright.PENANA3hYfrhvOL7
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.869Please respect copyright.PENANAG83WTmDUqf
869Please respect copyright.PENANAew99wcvwwa
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAyLORu7Appb
869Please respect copyright.PENANAJjBY0azd34
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAg7AMb3vDZF
869Please respect copyright.PENANACW6zoWb6zB
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.869Please respect copyright.PENANAHEiTDjqLot
869Please respect copyright.PENANAjGFxPbVYYs
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."869Please respect copyright.PENANAN3Sh2aBEK4
869Please respect copyright.PENANAca6W67ExuG
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.869Please respect copyright.PENANAwldttPAe0p
869Please respect copyright.PENANALwCn9fkzOb
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANAB697WISHpe
869Please respect copyright.PENANAssQ6m1PXK8
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.869Please respect copyright.PENANAy6DJeHG27c
869Please respect copyright.PENANAlSWgp7udpE
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.869Please respect copyright.PENANAijsZgsfgmP
869Please respect copyright.PENANAqk0GP7Vf4O
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.869Please respect copyright.PENANAcfW9lbcgmv
869Please respect copyright.PENANAtyUfEtwLYy
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.869Please respect copyright.PENANAjYUTsBIgIm
869Please respect copyright.PENANA66i4naewbH
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAav7txCeMle
869Please respect copyright.PENANAdGeg32gn4b
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.869Please respect copyright.PENANA6I7jyWwXpN
869Please respect copyright.PENANA8WRrXS3Pok
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANAQtEhjujoRF
869Please respect copyright.PENANAQlvLPlNTaL
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.869Please respect copyright.PENANA1TdzAJx714
869Please respect copyright.PENANAEDY0Q7BG4Q
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."869Please respect copyright.PENANA48RHNHJjwL
869Please respect copyright.PENANAmbDcxJpLoC
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"869Please respect copyright.PENANAwelwh5JrUX
869Please respect copyright.PENANAxZkPi8eQvO
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAwdGboDRAnl
869Please respect copyright.PENANAYb7fOA2cLD
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"869Please respect copyright.PENANASlT9kTEwJ1
869Please respect copyright.PENANAQXqz3fX4NA
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."869Please respect copyright.PENANAjvpIl0RXb7
869Please respect copyright.PENANADGph3Ovqx9
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.869Please respect copyright.PENANApniEdirEVr
869Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZYOKco4j7
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."869Please respect copyright.PENANA0e7ELivuTk
869Please respect copyright.PENANA4dZ2rDI9IL
"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?"869Please respect copyright.PENANARbW0caT2SK
869Please respect copyright.PENANARt6WUmEJ3A
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.869Please respect copyright.PENANA22UcSx1JOi
869Please respect copyright.PENANAChuGNY81nb
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.869Please respect copyright.PENANAbS4kpQeJW5
869Please respect copyright.PENANA1zbHcgD5On
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"869Please respect copyright.PENANA5vRSGYBFYK
869Please respect copyright.PENANARR119VeUhr
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.869Please respect copyright.PENANA6bKplm1TtV
869Please respect copyright.PENANAoTAWc1c3xz
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.869Please respect copyright.PENANAX4uuy4svT7
869Please respect copyright.PENANAggcGIbJeEI
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANAMl7x2cQpeJ
869Please respect copyright.PENANAhkirjbG2XQ
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.869Please respect copyright.PENANAlbMF4xKmLz
869Please respect copyright.PENANACGqZTBw76X
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAyT5pskwP2h
869Please respect copyright.PENANAYNKSEo26dD
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANA5R0oRhH8vi
869Please respect copyright.PENANAWI8xeJW0oD
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAY3OtIM4GP6
869Please respect copyright.PENANAo0h6E7OeOR
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANAz1lpTyg7PS
869Please respect copyright.PENANAD2Qvmwb6xi
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANA93xIRIKvjC
869Please respect copyright.PENANALV83aZCAjB
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."869Please respect copyright.PENANAQcQmBRMORe
869Please respect copyright.PENANAw6T9kMjoRg
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."869Please respect copyright.PENANAAgMLqJui1L
869Please respect copyright.PENANAD8xrytQa2w
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.869Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZAvBwRpMJ
869Please respect copyright.PENANAXnsU3Tu3so
"What is it?" Christine asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANA4ULP63Qj5P
869Please respect copyright.PENANAM6YPORBTIQ
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.869Please respect copyright.PENANAhE18KS9mdL
869Please respect copyright.PENANAfOMAz4HWVF
"He's here," I said.869Please respect copyright.PENANAfynOX6PlB0
869Please respect copyright.PENANA5kCNmgmxlS
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAMKclcvth4o
869Please respect copyright.PENANAQkqrYIL6wR
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.869Please respect copyright.PENANADG8ANKMBDG
869Please respect copyright.PENANAcUr4rA9t8K
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.869Please respect copyright.PENANA2k8O3tzdjB
869Please respect copyright.PENANA9YkBPgIbk5
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.869Please respect copyright.PENANACOHcPaMXp0
869Please respect copyright.PENANAHXPkAU7135
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAWFtZEAZZsw
869Please respect copyright.PENANAT1vk6vb3lm
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.869Please respect copyright.PENANADtAq3weO3e
869Please respect copyright.PENANAhnANBkotbp
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."869Please respect copyright.PENANAVLccYUP56N
869Please respect copyright.PENANAwWvWGSWtBL
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANAV5ieH00GmK
869Please respect copyright.PENANA6KfUag4A4e
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.869Please respect copyright.PENANAB48l8YtlxS
869Please respect copyright.PENANAMMbNtBWokD
"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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAkcMVR0Xjr8
869Please respect copyright.PENANAZyysYkz3vh
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.869Please respect copyright.PENANASfIPQtw3OM
869Please respect copyright.PENANAoCOt6uiRxT
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.869Please respect copyright.PENANAxVdKoK1DlO
869Please respect copyright.PENANAspgDOJ7Awo
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."869Please respect copyright.PENANAzffXPnhUO9
869Please respect copyright.PENANAPoiZHsRr9N
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAge5qPIE9uZ
869Please respect copyright.PENANAP0cwryOcrn
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANA8MDox6IKDV
869Please respect copyright.PENANAm6CUPCAvDw
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.869Please respect copyright.PENANAWYw2ju6xTQ
869Please respect copyright.PENANA5qRlYFHaOe
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.869Please respect copyright.PENANAkbykbnLWpq
869Please respect copyright.PENANA6Cus7VU7cf
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAwBBDuVyT4D
869Please respect copyright.PENANA3mdNUlzc2G
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.869Please respect copyright.PENANAnq2kl7JfIw
869Please respect copyright.PENANAjvVxJfDRgg
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."869Please respect copyright.PENANAvUHUPifYS2
869Please respect copyright.PENANA1JQD9iCK0u
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."869Please respect copyright.PENANAqOxUe6pdJ0
869Please respect copyright.PENANAfmSmftCcfc
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANA4oc09aykTl
869Please respect copyright.PENANA4BL2ofiPCi
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."869Please respect copyright.PENANA4DWrkWvNhU
869Please respect copyright.PENANAHg3R1maHpP
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.869Please respect copyright.PENANALGwkgXgjTi
869Please respect copyright.PENANAb3aKhGiKqN
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.869Please respect copyright.PENANAE2SpbgKImv
869Please respect copyright.PENANAjatpPUvY5i
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....869Please respect copyright.PENANAGovqLao3Tt
869Please respect copyright.PENANANsaXM6eE5D
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."869Please respect copyright.PENANA5pJkcH2OUi
869Please respect copyright.PENANA4HLIXfEbvV
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAsU76ioco0r
869Please respect copyright.PENANAEyOFg5J8Vz
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANA304YWfZcsc
869Please respect copyright.PENANAxSiNWMpG7l
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."869Please respect copyright.PENANABKkKpGMOuN
869Please respect copyright.PENANAtv9xjep6I3
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.869Please respect copyright.PENANA3aWNFUUqIH
869Please respect copyright.PENANAZr8Bg6iQE2
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANALLDYwe4fH8
869Please respect copyright.PENANAoeIkKM90mB
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."869Please respect copyright.PENANAf23OfxjV6Z
869Please respect copyright.PENANAfpqSAVQzlB
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANAFFPfSoSDoC
869Please respect copyright.PENANAaIMnXRKRlK
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAVvFNB586mj
869Please respect copyright.PENANAES0aRCykZi
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"869Please respect copyright.PENANA6RsLROB5UR
869Please respect copyright.PENANAaWIePyRyMo
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANARyWxG0NJFD
869Please respect copyright.PENANAun622yyNjm
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.869Please respect copyright.PENANAuJ4l6Gwv74
869Please respect copyright.PENANArcLgidZhTc
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."869Please respect copyright.PENANA8UiGewkzjr
869Please respect copyright.PENANA3OZdIkKYLR
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.869Please respect copyright.PENANA9vSMxHTgvx
869Please respect copyright.PENANAXvCBHGzBoJ
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANAoYrpEzIV9A
869Please respect copyright.PENANAiRIK4Myqo7
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.869Please respect copyright.PENANAAaORW5Cocw
869Please respect copyright.PENANAF7AvBJQQgH
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.869Please respect copyright.PENANAksHPoQP100
869Please respect copyright.PENANAt7X1Ig4h5z
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAXJuOlNcazt
869Please respect copyright.PENANAf9HITmyDbE
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANAsnG0r9TrJu
869Please respect copyright.PENANAOlbtbdO0uz
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.869Please respect copyright.PENANAUNhOwXWqhG
869Please respect copyright.PENANAE9v4jXa9vh
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."869Please respect copyright.PENANAAqcfWZjcbR
869Please respect copyright.PENANAQFNhnboiUn
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANA5jHYHPjM2x
869Please respect copyright.PENANAMbSQfv2nm3
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAYYJbutXRNT
869Please respect copyright.PENANAV4ydFaMpHM
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.869Please respect copyright.PENANA1K9XVNKLRE
869Please respect copyright.PENANAYNKeg45fBW
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANAdZHKZi0QbO
869Please respect copyright.PENANAX81arRDipC
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."869Please respect copyright.PENANAeU23OFzMfQ
869Please respect copyright.PENANAQRnEY6wnmB
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"869Please respect copyright.PENANA1kw6DWByYD
869Please respect copyright.PENANAUkvhR7kBSb
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."869Please respect copyright.PENANAD4a3iHgKDQ
869Please respect copyright.PENANAlVAzR28Hfg
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."869Please respect copyright.PENANAewGTG8exRK
869Please respect copyright.PENANAugsfrYPDtn
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..."869Please respect copyright.PENANArMVdwA7TZ8
869Please respect copyright.PENANA3amwQEr1vs
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAVHLikLK6Jh
869Please respect copyright.PENANAfhvXWV70Tz
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.869Please respect copyright.PENANAXfTBzVtVqb
869Please respect copyright.PENANAMV6k7JUYkA
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.869Please respect copyright.PENANAxNo9SgfB28
869Please respect copyright.PENANAap0XcYP8tn
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.869Please respect copyright.PENANAvgbKysEcZu
869Please respect copyright.PENANA8jsVE4AO5X
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.869Please respect copyright.PENANAigimvTJaJN
869Please respect copyright.PENANArq9jNikqb6
"I can't believe it" she said.869Please respect copyright.PENANANEooyNUsQG
869Please respect copyright.PENANADD1t6WARgU
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.869Please respect copyright.PENANAzIAVMzbYhm
869Please respect copyright.PENANA85lpgcBfFQ
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.869Please respect copyright.PENANAeAuflizbWJ
869Please respect copyright.PENANAVPQAxTaWuz
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.869Please respect copyright.PENANAIFBqgLhZ5l
869Please respect copyright.PENANA2ojmTxxpbh
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.869Please respect copyright.PENANAAHPRCBLUZp
869Please respect copyright.PENANAy2JCqtnBIH
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANA04CCfR1Mn5
869Please respect copyright.PENANATViIqbUq41
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAyl9sp6Q0J3
869Please respect copyright.PENANAxwNcicB9Eo
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:869Please respect copyright.PENANA0jsdM7Yx1x
869Please respect copyright.PENANAqNpdD8gNY9
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.869Please respect copyright.PENANASMBMrCJqba
869Please respect copyright.PENANALOKk25ajOC
"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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAihNUBiXJ4I
869Please respect copyright.PENANAhmeIpDt3t5
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAVtjyKmCSdH
869Please respect copyright.PENANAG1h2alSTfr
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."869Please respect copyright.PENANA2cNqR0nNVJ
869Please respect copyright.PENANAQwEcohFHSe
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.869Please respect copyright.PENANAVWN5YdJqWA
869Please respect copyright.PENANAItVAnRazPl
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.869Please respect copyright.PENANA8BcU3nE7D3
869Please respect copyright.PENANAevJ9BKyaTP
"He seems pretty cool."869Please respect copyright.PENANAKm8gkgYvTD
869Please respect copyright.PENANAUizVgbQ5DS
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.869Please respect copyright.PENANA5CSpM9Hbkr
869Please respect copyright.PENANAYtfPW68I5h
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANARQLZFG57un
869Please respect copyright.PENANAzYMl70wN4x
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."869Please respect copyright.PENANAo8oDwJj6Tj
869Please respect copyright.PENANAeEKdWdCTks
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.869Please respect copyright.PENANAKOsbW00u4e
869Please respect copyright.PENANALgkaFmEzrG
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."869Please respect copyright.PENANA3F2IgSf2PY
869Please respect copyright.PENANA6p5eDwZkHH
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANAHKAoTDH5ix
869Please respect copyright.PENANAf3adiaXcse
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.869Please respect copyright.PENANAb1zAjErxiU
869Please respect copyright.PENANAU7CuYLawpQ
"This 'Johnny' thing?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAYkrMBenuf7
869Please respect copyright.PENANAMQOsYo43QG
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.869Please respect copyright.PENANAhgXjKw96mM
869Please respect copyright.PENANAbUlj7ZBwaR
"Why would we?" I asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZLS6vRLsJ
869Please respect copyright.PENANAx1ELesB7af
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."869Please respect copyright.PENANA26r4r6ukWt
869Please respect copyright.PENANA8yPs08tAc9
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."869Please respect copyright.PENANAwA012u5ajk
869Please respect copyright.PENANAv9SF4hRtEk
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."869Please respect copyright.PENANAUhhaJP7qTq
869Please respect copyright.PENANAx3so8E1Wxc
"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?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAXZVAeyQ97D
869Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9B1BjpR0f
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.869Please respect copyright.PENANA9NQWc8HN6N
869Please respect copyright.PENANAOasFJVihl3
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANAk1R5Zgs0QQ
869Please respect copyright.PENANAGCtU0KzWSX
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."869Please respect copyright.PENANAWsuMiJBVsl
869Please respect copyright.PENANA4sxbDXq24Z
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAZpsjnjIa8X
869Please respect copyright.PENANAOKPXI7k0SS
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.869Please respect copyright.PENANA6RXG5MDzss
869Please respect copyright.PENANAwEGD3JDSjE
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."869Please respect copyright.PENANAMrq3YOd3OG
869Please respect copyright.PENANACvq9LqfntV
"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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAhHqDNi3nmg
869Please respect copyright.PENANA3zFEeANxb5
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.869Please respect copyright.PENANA9zprfKiyvS
869Please respect copyright.PENANAbc1PDcsIMu
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.869Please respect copyright.PENANANxK6r4bRa7
869Please respect copyright.PENANAEUCWrXHVRo
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.869Please respect copyright.PENANA1oDabhyYs0
869Please respect copyright.PENANAQsD77VEhyZ
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.869Please respect copyright.PENANAvYsizzOAnZ
869Please respect copyright.PENANAKJFO8i222V
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."869Please respect copyright.PENANAMUVLFaC5su
869Please respect copyright.PENANArdYkBVXtwo
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.869Please respect copyright.PENANAzgFf8OuPsK
869Please respect copyright.PENANALinOy4Cb9T
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.869Please respect copyright.PENANAN0qruLKvnH
869Please respect copyright.PENANAsFusLEwinM
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANAHhbHjJYTwU
869Please respect copyright.PENANABURWzVDaJt
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."869Please respect copyright.PENANAPBPoYa5pql
869Please respect copyright.PENANASDUJv9JxwH
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAL88uFKz76B
869Please respect copyright.PENANAtfRG9mTdnI
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."869Please respect copyright.PENANAmNIzJLAgtT
869Please respect copyright.PENANA5sOfoZ3tUu
"Really?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAFYTTZeIyAI
869Please respect copyright.PENANAyJCC7xKXdv
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAb9tSTfCsJA
869Please respect copyright.PENANASTEi8nsfFM
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."869Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ5fnb1xcU
869Please respect copyright.PENANAu8n7DXGwNA
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."869Please respect copyright.PENANAci0Ejbj356
869Please respect copyright.PENANARDp6dEO7E0
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.869Please respect copyright.PENANAKh9A4Qyg7n
869Please respect copyright.PENANAN120sW82pX
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."869Please respect copyright.PENANAqN1jcG6hU7
869Please respect copyright.PENANAi64WGqHSOa
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.869Please respect copyright.PENANAYIcrWs4NA9
869Please respect copyright.PENANAfLBt7uJADM
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.869Please respect copyright.PENANA7o1O2Cd0eQ
869Please respect copyright.PENANAg221RK3sfT
"Ya, you too," I answered as I smiled back.869Please respect copyright.PENANAUuPwL8lvEL
869Please respect copyright.PENANA0pGudRrdcI
He turned and walked to the elevator. I stood there and watched him leave.869Please respect copyright.PENANABEzNtIG4qM
869Please respect copyright.PENANAYwTGO5KFzu
"Sam, get in here quick!" Zoey called out to me. "You have to see this!"869Please respect copyright.PENANA9RdAcdy24z
869Please respect copyright.PENANAhRy8XnGGGB
I quickly went back into the lounge and took my seat next to Lee.869Please respect copyright.PENANAL61rSjylJH
869Please respect copyright.PENANABM5NAcIVU0
"This better be worth the call," I said as I looked at Lee's tablet.869Please respect copyright.PENANAqzJddh9Y9F
869Please respect copyright.PENANAthqsC5TvTq
"There was a dance video of Lisa and some girl," said Lee as she played the video for me.869Please respect copyright.PENANA66rRUdnW9o
869Please respect copyright.PENANASD2Z2w0DG4
I watched Lisa and the young lady danced to a popular K-Pop song. There were people around that watched and cheered.869Please respect copyright.PENANAScPV3riyGC
869Please respect copyright.PENANAffD3IiGqWI
"Well, that's cool," I said after the clip ended.869Please respect copyright.PENANAFrCUx34JcX
869Please respect copyright.PENANAJ70e3BbWar
"These guys had a really good time," said Mike.869Please respect copyright.PENANA53ndAmTWHI
869Please respect copyright.PENANAPFTPNozFUv
"Ya, but with someone you consider your enemy," said Lee.869Please respect copyright.PENANA5pjGO2NSQs
869Please respect copyright.PENANAqJyOKirgeh
"Whatever," said Christine. "We're way past that. We just don't want any drama with him."869Please respect copyright.PENANA9oro05sVlD
869Please respect copyright.PENANAc29ZnvKK15
"That will be impossible since he got to hang out with G-Dragon, BlackPink and WINNER who happen to be your friends."869Please respect copyright.PENANAPHaKj7xdnw
869Please respect copyright.PENANAl4Ur0TQQ6y
"Ya, good point," said Daniel. "What do you think we should do?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAbesU2Ib00K
869Please respect copyright.PENANAbQvDww4Hph
"Do we really have to do anything?" Christine asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANAU23du6hGou
869Please respect copyright.PENANAMspnYprWRK
"Don't tell me you want to think of something like a battle strategy?" Lee asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANAJmkk0klyPR
869Please respect copyright.PENANAzXLHupUYXo
"Why should we?" I asked. "We have a song to work on, remember? Johnny should be the least of our problems."869Please respect copyright.PENANAgXGovJIgH6
869Please respect copyright.PENANA7JxD8xPDK9
"Something tells me we are going to meet him sooner than we anticipated," said Zoey.869Please respect copyright.PENANAbzyqhPOyB1
869Please respect copyright.PENANAysAfbwMKWr
