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?789Please respect copyright.PENANAy3H360BpUW
789Please respect copyright.PENANAp9KixEJfF6
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.789Please respect copyright.PENANAjUJe4bdXLm
789Please respect copyright.PENANATimxGK7WTF
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.789Please respect copyright.PENANAim70C5A4ur
789Please respect copyright.PENANAZOmTbEjRwP
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.789Please respect copyright.PENANA7ne93uQpGU
789Please respect copyright.PENANA6jDZB3PK91
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.789Please respect copyright.PENANAkxCm2avJ69
789Please respect copyright.PENANAG4yPooGCm6
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.789Please respect copyright.PENANAT6IWKsTWXc
789Please respect copyright.PENANAd7Hwa8HhQE
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.789Please respect copyright.PENANA8eW03nCwde
789Please respect copyright.PENANAmJPfG8BnBl
"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?"789Please respect copyright.PENANA4CVbmNqX9M
789Please respect copyright.PENANAhY1eH6nz2N
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."789Please respect copyright.PENANAUp668pBhub
789Please respect copyright.PENANAVI24Ikp9mV
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.789Please respect copyright.PENANAsnSUOPKPgh
789Please respect copyright.PENANAHfdHHCzhPv
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.789Please respect copyright.PENANASf4FMM1iUg
789Please respect copyright.PENANAFxY1lnW8Kg
"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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAJmqAebw6vI
789Please respect copyright.PENANAeCKkk03D3Y
"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."789Please respect copyright.PENANARIZ844xpzZ
789Please respect copyright.PENANAk9HAAeAqvP
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.789Please respect copyright.PENANAGOxciSNYR0
789Please respect copyright.PENANAmxIrSw00e9
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.789Please respect copyright.PENANAp4NA2axPLh
789Please respect copyright.PENANAWvHAnV15w3
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.789Please respect copyright.PENANAuEMhip7sGo
789Please respect copyright.PENANANuavuSosNp
"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."789Please respect copyright.PENANAhmVejM6GPN
789Please respect copyright.PENANA6RXFfwwufW
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.789Please respect copyright.PENANAmI0wFO5A7B
789Please respect copyright.PENANALyOK7Z7gYV
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."789Please respect copyright.PENANAvh7fWP5Nf0
789Please respect copyright.PENANAOkajRdqAlY
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.789Please respect copyright.PENANAAU36FD6QS6
789Please respect copyright.PENANAmcZH9PLu2x
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAejIibO8vPl
789Please respect copyright.PENANAdnMjnKWVgf
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.789Please respect copyright.PENANAeNw4JNrE7g
789Please respect copyright.PENANA9ItHSl0vIz
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."789Please respect copyright.PENANAOaxlPcUFsw
789Please respect copyright.PENANAfVsGvTZdHU
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.789Please respect copyright.PENANAhODQzj1RgW
789Please respect copyright.PENANAlJK4eLAoEI
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.789Please respect copyright.PENANAQB6OPd3h9R
789Please respect copyright.PENANAABAKDd5o0G
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.789Please respect copyright.PENANARIQKuvenUz
789Please respect copyright.PENANAVEom5opAli
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAcFAeWIhqy5
789Please respect copyright.PENANAF1RVpn3Hz2
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."789Please respect copyright.PENANAfuuBoQ4HO8
789Please respect copyright.PENANAWPmOqTyJGL
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.789Please respect copyright.PENANArUVMUtQIMA
789Please respect copyright.PENANADHNYjjhbYm
"Sometimes I think you cheat."789Please respect copyright.PENANAaIstqn0SCc
789Please respect copyright.PENANA7UaptftOx5
"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."789Please respect copyright.PENANAZuWHJAkzvb
789Please respect copyright.PENANAMVri8pU33v
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."789Please respect copyright.PENANAdDmNfe78iu
789Please respect copyright.PENANAtJNODSCE4q
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.789Please respect copyright.PENANAeLqf04N57b
789Please respect copyright.PENANAiXSVvGMlYf
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.789Please respect copyright.PENANAiAaZGXjRuv
789Please respect copyright.PENANAm3O5NrQICr
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.789Please respect copyright.PENANAjja7zF8gJ8
789Please respect copyright.PENANAskJjqBJCMw
"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."789Please respect copyright.PENANAz8uhfr2QFr
789Please respect copyright.PENANAb0gWoTqRin
"I better go give them a call, then."789Please respect copyright.PENANAo4lPfnPgwN
789Please respect copyright.PENANA9hCBfPGCA5
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAkDgygtR2xm
789Please respect copyright.PENANAc3U6ZynLTt
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAsLvDqjcn0z
789Please respect copyright.PENANADBtgRP4Zym
"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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAFO0pcAcWuP
789Please respect copyright.PENANAT0JuVWCkEY
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAgMKQk9uF0l
789Please respect copyright.PENANA9mvsi7LKSu
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAOTklfkKJnO
789Please respect copyright.PENANA2fmmczPH1O
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?789Please respect copyright.PENANAwcO8kUkii2
789Please respect copyright.PENANAeCG4LiZXQw
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAe2AHsliRdZ
789Please respect copyright.PENANAxnNYhHWd54
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.789Please respect copyright.PENANAUFUwRt9tO7
789Please respect copyright.PENANA9smHqQwyjx
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.789Please respect copyright.PENANAK5mUa3CRwp
789Please respect copyright.PENANAcVrvn3zmqH
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."789Please respect copyright.PENANAup2KS3aYDG
789Please respect copyright.PENANAO1eizuyvrF
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"789Please respect copyright.PENANAqdzOl3TaZZ
789Please respect copyright.PENANA0JA8VcxwNL
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"789Please respect copyright.PENANAF1EFxGcb8i
789Please respect copyright.PENANAqfp2w4MjgI
"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."789Please respect copyright.PENANAQsqnhl9BPP
789Please respect copyright.PENANAlMJjzGK3Tv
"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."789Please respect copyright.PENANA0MSxYplR6g
789Please respect copyright.PENANA4vWtRFQAjD
"Ya, sure."789Please respect copyright.PENANAxnv8RaVZXC
789Please respect copyright.PENANA7rp0xZ2FH3
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAOpAtaifl7T
789Please respect copyright.PENANAz2XY7s8ZlQ
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.789Please respect copyright.PENANAPUOowYNia7
789Please respect copyright.PENANAJTMtngBjld
"Anything?" Zoey asked.789Please respect copyright.PENANAOGNxWjwPxf
789Please respect copyright.PENANAm9MurJrZA1
"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."789Please respect copyright.PENANA5BhEHUqUkV
789Please respect copyright.PENANAhcReI3lBpD
"Okay, well, we can wait."789Please respect copyright.PENANAHvStQeP8pE
789Please respect copyright.PENANAFwvYGTRFM1
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."789Please respect copyright.PENANAPOVv3JTU3e
789Please respect copyright.PENANAtSnFqIPJO0
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."789Please respect copyright.PENANAEiIuAtdBZZ
789Please respect copyright.PENANAlu5YpngJEY
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."789Please respect copyright.PENANAxnSc2J06ia
789Please respect copyright.PENANAC9aJJ1JVkm
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."789Please respect copyright.PENANAvzVW8R6rwq
789Please respect copyright.PENANAe1NmeRe9Jx
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."789Please respect copyright.PENANA4nErjAOHaI
789Please respect copyright.PENANAJPkHzaOkX5
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.789Please respect copyright.PENANAYrHOJhOOo1
789Please respect copyright.PENANAspw0WBbmGb
"We can't work on the song without them."789Please respect copyright.PENANAUEACI9QXZA
789Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ3pXFYYel
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."789Please respect copyright.PENANApDCOmk2Xbm
789Please respect copyright.PENANAlLENP2eGeN
"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."789Please respect copyright.PENANA8Hw2C5B3am
789Please respect copyright.PENANAIJWvWpHaDy
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."789Please respect copyright.PENANAVyRgOtDNcj
789Please respect copyright.PENANAd4yqhJc9D6
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.789Please respect copyright.PENANARtV7d2uKwz
789Please respect copyright.PENANA6QweZz1MEK
"Then get your guitar and notebook."789Please respect copyright.PENANAgNbmZh7zrb
789Please respect copyright.PENANAkUilSrv4SC
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."789Please respect copyright.PENANAhQurhaVfaw
789Please respect copyright.PENANABGU8OS6YgA
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"789Please respect copyright.PENANAMdWlvfhmeb
789Please respect copyright.PENANAf7DdA8KQbO
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."789Please respect copyright.PENANAalPLtMUVlW
789Please respect copyright.PENANAYlrC0A4SIl
"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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAFtNqjY3Tbr
789Please respect copyright.PENANAHVP8fno1wm
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAVBcnAXWG7w
789Please respect copyright.PENANA0JnRyF4y3n
"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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAWRqDWfSkaa
789Please respect copyright.PENANAyONbYpZADJ
"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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAZk5qWKBJTD
789Please respect copyright.PENANAtDFWbzyL9Y
"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?"789Please respect copyright.PENANA5AVkyOrFoL
789Please respect copyright.PENANAVTkkVd2FDk
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.789Please respect copyright.PENANA6C9OJFd4KW
789Please respect copyright.PENANAKNCMLFTXf9
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."789Please respect copyright.PENANAN8vnS5Ow4Z
789Please respect copyright.PENANABVRlcDr783
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.789Please respect copyright.PENANARNkJdikfdo
789Please respect copyright.PENANA7qfAXjgxVV
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.789Please respect copyright.PENANAOg7zctpuTY
789Please respect copyright.PENANAUuw7gGPoEq
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.789Please respect copyright.PENANAcEO5h5o2xt
789Please respect copyright.PENANAVIOLMFdVsN
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.789Please respect copyright.PENANAThdV0EFO5s
789Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ382xc4SM
"Yes, really," I answered.789Please respect copyright.PENANA3SXYS7TwWq
789Please respect copyright.PENANAfs0rGvirxH
"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."789Please respect copyright.PENANA2KrohKOmCE
789Please respect copyright.PENANAf7umNKAkm6
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."789Please respect copyright.PENANAtDAswHJuH0
789Please respect copyright.PENANAfFoIMDtbnr
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.789Please respect copyright.PENANAn1e1B2V6qs
789Please respect copyright.PENANAF2UxoPjsxq
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.789Please respect copyright.PENANAS4hMkj5YxJ
789Please respect copyright.PENANAAg47d3IlKM
"What went well?" Lee asked.789Please respect copyright.PENANAQOc7hrxzpP
789Please respect copyright.PENANATUwZs0DVYz
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.789Please respect copyright.PENANAkpP6II6dib
789Please respect copyright.PENANAE47SJN01ut
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAsKV9JqIm3C
789Please respect copyright.PENANAjyU9P5J7lG
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAB56ollPYPc
789Please respect copyright.PENANAIGjkfnaEsk
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.789Please respect copyright.PENANAQmVjpFsRMA
789Please respect copyright.PENANAecwCkGc8vc
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."789Please respect copyright.PENANA1n4sxXOXzJ
789Please respect copyright.PENANAkQYFepaIYU
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.789Please respect copyright.PENANAIsc4cbxXRF
789Please respect copyright.PENANAtHE5Dbb77c
"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."789Please respect copyright.PENANA73ony5Uhku
789Please respect copyright.PENANASDMvYANBap
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.789Please respect copyright.PENANAqqRm4cOytz
789Please respect copyright.PENANAQdcaXbUulb
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.789Please respect copyright.PENANAlZoD9MBH8a
789Please respect copyright.PENANAOvAfiSsGhV
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.789Please respect copyright.PENANAZvVuuWPkhX
789Please respect copyright.PENANA4pi9w4Xi97
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.789Please respect copyright.PENANAwzm4HZDM1d
789Please respect copyright.PENANAwaL3gbDPPJ
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAMnlXGko5fZ
789Please respect copyright.PENANAeIoB1ljPYl
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.789Please respect copyright.PENANAdyRupCcRMI
789Please respect copyright.PENANAJfUQs3Fuxk
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.789Please respect copyright.PENANAA8GlEJqj2G
789Please respect copyright.PENANAIdBPbhaYVq
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.789Please respect copyright.PENANAw8R24h5CoH
789Please respect copyright.PENANAwKu80kCu2r
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."789Please respect copyright.PENANAifC6r7657B
789Please respect copyright.PENANAKJagFHgnXr
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"789Please respect copyright.PENANACHzZ84HdZv
789Please respect copyright.PENANApl05O6Ce09
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAVXqTthbAQl
789Please respect copyright.PENANAdHdkowljGC
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"789Please respect copyright.PENANA42ZrWMdSfE
789Please respect copyright.PENANAc0cuMonmV7
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."789Please respect copyright.PENANAuYGaGZCAEt
789Please respect copyright.PENANA1NY6RKQIQQ
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.789Please respect copyright.PENANALNXccKape9
789Please respect copyright.PENANAYkBSzs3T7m
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."789Please respect copyright.PENANA41wDteBYx2
789Please respect copyright.PENANAlIyf62hRhx
"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?"789Please respect copyright.PENANAjyXAHMpuum
789Please respect copyright.PENANAkMMPYqHBDw
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.789Please respect copyright.PENANAzoNbrxoudt
789Please respect copyright.PENANAYyDBTdDhO8
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.789Please respect copyright.PENANAnkP90x3WCM
789Please respect copyright.PENANADRwpub7VvR
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"789Please respect copyright.PENANAe9PrAwKt7L
789Please respect copyright.PENANAn5M6MgsnS9
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.789Please respect copyright.PENANAFX9kFAZa4M
789Please respect copyright.PENANALgEbhcexjS
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.789Please respect copyright.PENANAYfcd9kDfkH
789Please respect copyright.PENANAByJAGogfDv
"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."789Please respect copyright.PENANAoCygfPoRtb
789Please respect copyright.PENANA2Y4okqXFDp
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.789Please respect copyright.PENANAPkQgVga24B
789Please respect copyright.PENANAvTmhuybvMh
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"789Please respect copyright.PENANAuEUV9Lw4MM
789Please respect copyright.PENANACv0BGLumv6
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAvHyLZJmo5j
789Please respect copyright.PENANAHURVVOWwe0
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAN6Wd2tvbzc
789Please respect copyright.PENANAv9XdLF0fCW
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.789Please respect copyright.PENANAoLuSLMW8Mg
789Please respect copyright.PENANA1q1FcnBhvx
"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."789Please respect copyright.PENANAO7OJnO5Wlv
789Please respect copyright.PENANAo3wioCzxTW
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."789Please respect copyright.PENANAHbi4FcXj3N
789Please respect copyright.PENANAdBjoGbu1GV
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."789Please respect copyright.PENANAOjqURaLyDA
789Please respect copyright.PENANAX8ELZALks4
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.789Please respect copyright.PENANA7QrCjB6ZnF
789Please respect copyright.PENANAV0LSrdZEaL
"What is it?" Christine asked.789Please respect copyright.PENANAADIOyshM08
789Please respect copyright.PENANA7fUR6LnHGs
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.789Please respect copyright.PENANAWiiG4VGHyW
789Please respect copyright.PENANAUsOUNsJIZK
"He's here," I said.789Please respect copyright.PENANAnuxC6ex6E5
789Please respect copyright.PENANA7ISctYJEvu
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"789Please respect copyright.PENANAaju4PJ8NXo
789Please respect copyright.PENANA11sCh8neyz
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.789Please respect copyright.PENANA6ov1vNVUd9
789Please respect copyright.PENANAh9neN0U5fH
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.789Please respect copyright.PENANAmkWHwQ21BL
789Please respect copyright.PENANA8AwMrWbSe2
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.789Please respect copyright.PENANAD9q2jIAVVd
789Please respect copyright.PENANAmHUo7mW3YW
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"789Please respect copyright.PENANAXAuVjS1EFw
789Please respect copyright.PENANA79doU4ntlk
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.789Please respect copyright.PENANAwXz2R5O1K6
789Please respect copyright.PENANAmuDRuuT4lI
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."789Please respect copyright.PENANAshxfcqQkpD
789Please respect copyright.PENANA38svHxH90n
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.789Please respect copyright.PENANAumq5OdCzT1
789Please respect copyright.PENANAhoaIGSTWqM
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.789Please respect copyright.PENANA1CJdfbhwkG
789Please respect copyright.PENANAXW9J5aRg7s
"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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAHcLvEXIqRe
789Please respect copyright.PENANA6kozEIOmX3
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.789Please respect copyright.PENANA2033RCtpbq
789Please respect copyright.PENANAH6AZewieX0
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.789Please respect copyright.PENANANf3zM9CjY2
789Please respect copyright.PENANA6Hqn6ZUdri
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."789Please respect copyright.PENANABaelULZAtD
789Please respect copyright.PENANAvUTYJotc2s
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANALy2WGtTHyk
789Please respect copyright.PENANAq0rcAxLUmh
"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."789Please respect copyright.PENANADi1OyHaU9V
789Please respect copyright.PENANA5fvCbGMf9s
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.789Please respect copyright.PENANAJMR1FC3q8W
789Please respect copyright.PENANA1OPvHIlHXM
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.789Please respect copyright.PENANAB45bbD38A5
789Please respect copyright.PENANARW7BlsMVkT
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"789Please respect copyright.PENANANlRvmc8h75
789Please respect copyright.PENANASOEHco7ZcW
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.789Please respect copyright.PENANAtulyYeRzQH
789Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ca1YK9r8Q
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."789Please respect copyright.PENANAK0YrPuSVRq
789Please respect copyright.PENANAHSMJ5P0qqf
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."789Please respect copyright.PENANAeZeGmwdWcr
789Please respect copyright.PENANAS1Z4FyqOPX
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.789Please respect copyright.PENANA30saGhjEYc
789Please respect copyright.PENANAkj5s9y8uWh
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."789Please respect copyright.PENANAyrxExRxsiZ
789Please respect copyright.PENANAKEPbbEJS0s
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.789Please respect copyright.PENANAuwFulvhXQZ
789Please respect copyright.PENANAHmGQZ6M5A8
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.789Please respect copyright.PENANA8yYNoM45yN
789Please respect copyright.PENANApHkKXY1cDm
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....789Please respect copyright.PENANAH9UI6LwqyV
789Please respect copyright.PENANA6CScWY2sXS
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."789Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2pZnzpIrH
789Please respect copyright.PENANAaKZd9vHvrQ
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"789Please respect copyright.PENANALXJMqPlX0o
789Please respect copyright.PENANAWVvB8FP9g8
"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."789Please respect copyright.PENANAXU3lJNgXsI
789Please respect copyright.PENANAVVlMPIJbWu
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."789Please respect copyright.PENANAvFghYAKE8p
789Please respect copyright.PENANArYgxvm5ByY
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.789Please respect copyright.PENANA3DzRwBSuXA
789Please respect copyright.PENANAX5R5SmkaqV
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.789Please respect copyright.PENANAUuyRBXmgdd
789Please respect copyright.PENANAkDKI1DpywE
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."789Please respect copyright.PENANA9fXBHu9NEt
789Please respect copyright.PENANAoMY2o6qw5S
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.789Please respect copyright.PENANANt8OsAA5LZ
789Please respect copyright.PENANAnsh21qkwpb
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAdymDg8CCtT
789Please respect copyright.PENANAjmDXBlaLN9
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"789Please respect copyright.PENANAZnuVeEOU7k
789Please respect copyright.PENANAymruw1dQ5d
"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."789Please respect copyright.PENANAt7GXps75pL
789Please respect copyright.PENANAplKAm9LsMO
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.789Please respect copyright.PENANAHIoKlCzOZn
789Please respect copyright.PENANALpRcDBLn9l
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."789Please respect copyright.PENANAISEbdzOQ7L
789Please respect copyright.PENANAsBMPUg6gof
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.789Please respect copyright.PENANA9sgw1KbPFe
789Please respect copyright.PENANAoZzM3Wz3Jh
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.789Please respect copyright.PENANAlRzfvYuywK
789Please respect copyright.PENANAprlvtQmPgJ
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.789Please respect copyright.PENANAhdeixNEU8r
789Please respect copyright.PENANAuoCsi07XNt
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.789Please respect copyright.PENANAOPAzWE8ZCb
789Please respect copyright.PENANA7koQSNN0Wm
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAKqMbkQ3EGZ
789Please respect copyright.PENANAwyiuHvLeOW
"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."789Please respect copyright.PENANAUkJMHzZQ9B
789Please respect copyright.PENANAW9kLMt6XiY
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.789Please respect copyright.PENANAdKSo79mWJr
789Please respect copyright.PENANAuh0BxfTov0
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."789Please respect copyright.PENANAnXfQygdycD
789Please respect copyright.PENANAogc4LCbugQ
"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."789Please respect copyright.PENANABoujcrhpHV
789Please respect copyright.PENANA5mzIJQFgN5
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAuwZ4pzz2nY
789Please respect copyright.PENANASc6Edo2CXE
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.789Please respect copyright.PENANAOl60ym7Q8W
789Please respect copyright.PENANAB4z6b3jnuq
"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."789Please respect copyright.PENANAGCN8mL4gyj
789Please respect copyright.PENANA46UN8R0V3O
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."789Please respect copyright.PENANAOBT5ifk0mD
789Please respect copyright.PENANAI6sGZc79ir
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"789Please respect copyright.PENANAXiybGzD7b2
789Please respect copyright.PENANAStx2aeVHei
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."789Please respect copyright.PENANAr6cEYO1KEZ
789Please respect copyright.PENANAfDm7rfMGqs
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."789Please respect copyright.PENANAcvvhC2RW3D
789Please respect copyright.PENANAizbArw9yNm
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..."789Please respect copyright.PENANAXFOEHhslhM
789Please respect copyright.PENANAuRV9ZaZzB2
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"789Please respect copyright.PENANA1Kl4LA27lR
789Please respect copyright.PENANACvNdaql3aO
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.789Please respect copyright.PENANAP81i5ZTNw7
789Please respect copyright.PENANA4NKWrYgkYp
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.789Please respect copyright.PENANA4kPBIqx2rK
789Please respect copyright.PENANA4lIOK6AW3r
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.789Please respect copyright.PENANAjH8pIGcLko
789Please respect copyright.PENANA33UuZFWkBQ
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.789Please respect copyright.PENANAMficFFiBUo
789Please respect copyright.PENANAB6Uk2TmcFF
"I can't believe it" she said.789Please respect copyright.PENANARs8sa1xzgG
789Please respect copyright.PENANAAbRbVj9YqZ
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.789Please respect copyright.PENANAy63XWBulBo
789Please respect copyright.PENANAlCD5O2oCw0
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.789Please respect copyright.PENANA87WGyjX1cb
789Please respect copyright.PENANAcYX4koeWvH
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.789Please respect copyright.PENANA9Gh0BC9J1Y
789Please respect copyright.PENANAyVu2Rlb4mc
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.789Please respect copyright.PENANA4eYxBbaMWS
789Please respect copyright.PENANAPt7TDPe2s4
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANA8SnySVxJeq
789Please respect copyright.PENANAWq9cpuKjqQ
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAC7K47O9DsV
789Please respect copyright.PENANAijHQzJhtjT
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:789Please respect copyright.PENANAhamadLOisM
789Please respect copyright.PENANAflL7kxMEKS
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.789Please respect copyright.PENANAe6L3CXVdmv
789Please respect copyright.PENANAFUC68CeGgI
"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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAak0f81Krr9
789Please respect copyright.PENANAeSkJROiArf
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANA4HlmVKSOiK
789Please respect copyright.PENANAk5syFbsFNT
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."789Please respect copyright.PENANASX4Eew8Qwd
789Please respect copyright.PENANAa1CNbmVBu6
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.789Please respect copyright.PENANAmNBGfzWMjg
789Please respect copyright.PENANAzjccouIXuR
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.789Please respect copyright.PENANALxLtwvHAlQ
789Please respect copyright.PENANA1CHS9u8gdw
"He seems pretty cool."789Please respect copyright.PENANAurydzqTK5k
789Please respect copyright.PENANAsW2Umdz1A9
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.789Please respect copyright.PENANAM453747pp4
789Please respect copyright.PENANAlFGH1Njixf
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.789Please respect copyright.PENANAEx2GICxrxU
789Please respect copyright.PENANAflGqllbz18
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."789Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1FaEpSBTw
789Please respect copyright.PENANAyeBt10nxSI
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.789Please respect copyright.PENANAUF4DE6Zgqb
789Please respect copyright.PENANAHT8Ebvxv3i
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."789Please respect copyright.PENANAdhMnVaY9rb
789Please respect copyright.PENANAsK54ah7UdM
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.789Please respect copyright.PENANA6xnlRMOzA7
789Please respect copyright.PENANAYo2hqzSyVI
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.789Please respect copyright.PENANAQlrP4PCyOT
789Please respect copyright.PENANAuDTDEIOFJo
"This 'Johnny' thing?"789Please respect copyright.PENANA9nv8iGiMxn
789Please respect copyright.PENANAP26jzot6H5
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.789Please respect copyright.PENANAhR11y5Hp8V
789Please respect copyright.PENANAwuQ0MI0kf7
"Why would we?" I asked.789Please respect copyright.PENANAK6ieAu92Ha
789Please respect copyright.PENANAVtDmxYqxjX
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."789Please respect copyright.PENANA8TevJbJ2Wk
789Please respect copyright.PENANAD80fidKjLJ
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."789Please respect copyright.PENANAJ74VfWWHkJ
789Please respect copyright.PENANARI5lyKEa2r
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."789Please respect copyright.PENANAUBfpEr3Q6I
789Please respect copyright.PENANAAC1YA3CYxM
"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?"789Please respect copyright.PENANADUFmPkuF1E
789Please respect copyright.PENANAb3jnDNR3jb
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.789Please respect copyright.PENANA1jiSLSxpu4
789Please respect copyright.PENANASIoBBZozjq
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.789Please respect copyright.PENANAMVTbPKqMEP
789Please respect copyright.PENANAqzWSWTerJt
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."789Please respect copyright.PENANAy4gayYONIk
789Please respect copyright.PENANAusSUGtCqbx
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANATkqTEIoQ43
789Please respect copyright.PENANA1ofFhyWOUO
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.789Please respect copyright.PENANA83NEzJaJqP
789Please respect copyright.PENANA6thyESiYE9
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."789Please respect copyright.PENANAa1rkODBtI3
789Please respect copyright.PENANAuExLUXM4pn
"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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAZm9SUsay8N
789Please respect copyright.PENANAUGOiZo0G8F
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.789Please respect copyright.PENANA7NcIdAQCKM
789Please respect copyright.PENANAuL9cPHLhdA
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.789Please respect copyright.PENANA5WfSFDpvMU
789Please respect copyright.PENANAX77cAN2sgF
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.789Please respect copyright.PENANAy387028R81
789Please respect copyright.PENANABS6FShAoRI
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.789Please respect copyright.PENANAvxigzHiN4F
789Please respect copyright.PENANAto1YGh5Was
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."789Please respect copyright.PENANAxd7xlgLO3H
789Please respect copyright.PENANAy5ZFfmgplW
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.789Please respect copyright.PENANAy4EojVbthr
789Please respect copyright.PENANA2mzAeFtC8u
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.789Please respect copyright.PENANADAZJb5k9i4
789Please respect copyright.PENANAoVwggbyJ0q
"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."789Please respect copyright.PENANAbPkzG6OQJI
789Please respect copyright.PENANAgQpAUJWqmw
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."789Please respect copyright.PENANAny8Kr9QgTD
789Please respect copyright.PENANACUU5hbJK7t
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"789Please respect copyright.PENANAhV9UeRlYnV
789Please respect copyright.PENANAHkVECtqIqZ
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."789Please respect copyright.PENANAxApZgrPAnD
789Please respect copyright.PENANA3YaZ59IECm
"Really?"789Please respect copyright.PENANAovVO5yjhTS
789Please respect copyright.PENANABgQpSfNaa2
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"789Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ013WSksH
789Please respect copyright.PENANAqpuXuYLmrP
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."789Please respect copyright.PENANAYGaSeyWMpd
789Please respect copyright.PENANAwScXWr8uud
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."789Please respect copyright.PENANAQPCyi8h3uu
789Please respect copyright.PENANAq03cAIdch5
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.789Please respect copyright.PENANAcvE7GUCvdu
789Please respect copyright.PENANAy8R4rvGJbq
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."789Please respect copyright.PENANAnsE17vp6ET
789Please respect copyright.PENANAujvyuRtzEX
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.789Please respect copyright.PENANAMvmDEg95lg
789Please respect copyright.PENANAGtLRftWqfS
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.789Please respect copyright.PENANATKmjtw2p8d
789Please respect copyright.PENANAS9gnoBLHZ8
"Ya, you too," I answered as I smiled back.789Please respect copyright.PENANAqM9js5kwYn
789Please respect copyright.PENANAtPoXwGSwZz
He turned and walked to the elevator. I stood there and watched him leave.789Please respect copyright.PENANAeFmGO2cBTX
789Please respect copyright.PENANAzw8ynOWBgR
"Sam, get in here quick!" Zoey called out to me. "You have to see this!"789Please respect copyright.PENANAxa3IQVCZiF
789Please respect copyright.PENANAwCFjEUKi1T
I quickly went back into the lounge and took my seat next to Lee.789Please respect copyright.PENANAOQQDhUOZPa
789Please respect copyright.PENANAbvrOXGFVc0
"This better be worth the call," I said as I looked at Lee's tablet.789Please respect copyright.PENANALvUnF7r9YX
789Please respect copyright.PENANACXQ6sNcpdS
"There was a dance video of Lisa and some girl," said Lee as she played the video for me.789Please respect copyright.PENANA3OPoRFUJ2N
789Please respect copyright.PENANAgSELYDkXnn
I watched Lisa and the young lady danced to a popular K-Pop song. There were people around that watched and cheered.789Please respect copyright.PENANAPEiAJ5aZNV
789Please respect copyright.PENANAwtN3xk85nV
"Well, that's cool," I said after the clip ended.789Please respect copyright.PENANASRepjKkMoY
789Please respect copyright.PENANAVK1HIpQZU7
"These guys had a really good time," said Mike.789Please respect copyright.PENANApRmcvbhXAj
789Please respect copyright.PENANAyePTFRM5kr
"Ya, but with someone you consider your enemy," said Lee.789Please respect copyright.PENANAmYO8LeYt9Z
789Please respect copyright.PENANAteKZ6XVCIT
"Whatever," said Christine. "We're way past that. We just don't want any drama with him."789Please respect copyright.PENANAjO4LXPkOGK
789Please respect copyright.PENANAocJVzOz72N
"That will be impossible since he got to hang out with G-Dragon, BlackPink and WINNER who happen to be your friends."789Please respect copyright.PENANApXLXmDdNWM
789Please respect copyright.PENANATTimrlDDjP
"Ya, good point," said Daniel. "What do you think we should do?"789Please respect copyright.PENANArCUcdKOh8y
789Please respect copyright.PENANAca1dvKT2y2
"Do we really have to do anything?" Christine asked.789Please respect copyright.PENANAUV0twosVh6
789Please respect copyright.PENANAh04MMrVx3o
"Don't tell me you want to think of something like a battle strategy?" Lee asked.789Please respect copyright.PENANAGytyNv9WLX
789Please respect copyright.PENANAZgC7hSJttl
"Why should we?" I asked. "We have a song to work on, remember? Johnny should be the least of our problems."789Please respect copyright.PENANAKdCtMIVtuJ
789Please respect copyright.PENANAtMQcTVaMRY
"Something tells me we are going to meet him sooner than we anticipated," said Zoey.789Please respect copyright.PENANAJrulSYScG4
789Please respect copyright.PENANAqaqQKRp2hs
