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

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
