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

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
