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?347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeJ3cJ1fqP
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFRd71LvOT
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT1B6XmxAA
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhOr29eKfn
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K6C3UnLtg
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9R1CEQcY1
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF380rGKCZ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLIEGUbjDh
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpCeSUyIru
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6dc4rCpNh
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBh4pQMBrM
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5Jc5iFLif
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgGhuMJpkS
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4IE2e5K9B
"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?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHM0RVddQU
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdExzldFiAR
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk00CYZ8sv
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtSuJirPHa
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2vBtz4CPr
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFuNIbGjak
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5i63EiewV
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzThH0fqeW
"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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWJzgHkKkf
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9oFNVjIN2
"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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCFBtLCk6H
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxSaWknf2p
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr3XHhd1Bb
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrBQLx7E8G
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLzPOnADIG
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hKOUPJ1YG
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd1nTRo95M
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCoFDqY6LA
"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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZbGYgIRan
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRPnopdqbT
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLuBkN90Lg
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOzLqW7Oue
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIrjYOYqc3
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduA78Co8Sh
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDV1nTINpz
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHusKi3rb7y
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRn05LwbjY
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCONxqp3XCo
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq92pgb8Og
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutiptZ3UpS
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5kEYthuG5
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3fTZKksNd
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkykzNuxZk
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1YUJtu3cQ
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtrkhGmm0x
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqYc2k0o2o
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdJ8I6X5sq
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQWgX4QflY
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYWgwB3jFo
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjsLDbyMLG
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUQm40CHja
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80NzsMZwSj
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4HmzlpBOm
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakUCQURnZN
"Sometimes I think you cheat."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHOC4RuJoL
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ3ar08H2b
"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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzra4YlN7X
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF2eSNxm5P
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYgVwDA1F7
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZIhHsfHwz
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivQOcnostY
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7vxVihoe9
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMK9sDQtOo
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhmy1hMMiU
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoCyrHKeCF
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiABbjPGzbu
"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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotOXo05U1I
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM3Uha4Van
"I better go give them a call, then."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJiuXcBwzs
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvQmRHl7Ux
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79dnkOaOou
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTjVaVxuis
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqFdgR5X1Z
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRSNjmP3Ks
"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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyas9fUImVw
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv0xS7h8J1
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVbIpIC9qq
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35nIRkQW2h
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nrPOOayMa
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoTu3cTcj3
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?347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpqwAzzTjR
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAglINrhqC
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicKVmdg1Cs
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboyLBDLOju
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5N1eYAZTt
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfF0GgBTMB
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1TLukL91z
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOHKMxuppq
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMznI46Oi7
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAVdmJG3cW
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaMdWXyqHy
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEEzY5mf3Y
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUF0uRTuWh
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Inb1JGaxy
"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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5aUk6NZ4N
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMvYG3Fv2O
"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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5AVhFoXw4
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dVxJ6hpqT
"Ya, sure."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARKj9d5F2M
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjZCcX1qzM
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgAIRS8Xu9
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w9WheqF39
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL0ZCANWD6
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVWc7sz6jy
"Anything?" Zoey asked.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6yoGrFIH6
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqudi8yKKY9
"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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ8HGgTnJE
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALWcY3O3Ui
"Okay, well, we can wait."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1ah4g9LHW
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m1rw1KPLT
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJPTDqdVtj
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg3KYb6gmN
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp9CmcUdbH
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQZMaj6wHS
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4UoViVcpa
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOA16gOhee
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcBKNRkZJl
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvR6dEeZAC
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrGJE1cTD6
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtu0l6n8tG
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiUsUjLO4k
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj8Rq7lBzu
"We can't work on the song without them."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdtbKqknDU
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8pCExGxFT
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pCy0xF3za
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLzrfY8dVm
"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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTCJizr0YH
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEKYx7KEE3
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyR5EsuIDy
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwcwi5somE
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRIxgzXxV6
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xn95ot1dL
"Then get your guitar and notebook."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykeCeQjz9a
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMYRyjWFUc
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqHHdMWt5K
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9i2dvrYLi
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQBoCBEiwO
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZfY3A6V7A
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO62H9EXe51
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGBSHKRH0k
"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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrXYS0iSQd
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53ow3fqqfR
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxxNjxzZno
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFYW8vVjTx
"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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2L2SVDcPh
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFtcwm7nRX
"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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9xc68fQbg
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzjkBL9mhI
"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?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7AVMl7FHV
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSbCf78vsL
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNKYODUYkR
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWgmMaSD6t
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAHuYlmgBD
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9HhWl0R9b
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ6Uewh3NK
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr0mu6axRx
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXv8vgYSXX
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xwkDsXetk
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gtQaLeK2Z
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00zZyDBwXU
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe43s73WbsS
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL1l77j7KF
"Yes, really," I answered.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTt4amfQgO
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFZ36Z7y7p
"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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRdnwc3d6R
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU1dIG95fw
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIGREJpYMI
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbuYWRxsRi
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdveaqlk4L
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfiDTZrfKQ
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAaU2JCTSD
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObL9a4bnFz
"What went well?" Lee asked.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS79LzxV0aR
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3MV6IifAf
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cOKNAdc67
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ThBr1CFUr
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30dBbGGVNl
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6pwkJQLbU
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK2NDe8AeB
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9igNU8VUFz
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEtI0tls8L
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWmdcVXmX8
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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DkQT0ZgyL
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvTFs4sI36
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzqoGbCR22
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiZ1enRuMi
"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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmmQmJG8z5
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyUAHVHcgC
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbXKbxjn6C
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuSvyxXJGU
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77NtwmebxQ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NOoLrDTKY
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROVuleGGJx
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGBjvYXeJR
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNENV7XMN8
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAci7lgvoh
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgNB2SSy8s
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuTFkoaYEu
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1nIk6vjk2
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58wLPMyNCI
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVLOSSQRG4
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f3r9xTZKP
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8J6GLB8QC
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJItLgtzxp6
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLjy6zoE4l
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL97HqZnBWW
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjOgnoH1xT
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN48JhxO6Bw
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1bfBZTsGF
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QzjOboqRa
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvur2yvKZy
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi4jSULTl8
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCvzEoM8MC
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqMcnzOJRm
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0I1iRTNOU
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXdVZEGYA7
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXmJIjaRH4
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4FDe9bwl3
"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?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA44JYFZ6dN
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCexMA3dQJK
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe5sebtXxf
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l02LCyDum
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaft3OAfw9
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEFEZ131x3
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPhM91K0iH
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOwCTwv2oF
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno83EYNXLk
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIGWaZFGlC
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf3pqrwv44
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0MTtSYBtQ
"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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6LN3nkesk
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvGBf6IMkI
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcusj7IEuzK
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrMOK2iYtB
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjqMqRanZt
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE67PVIsww
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XKHVn3aY2

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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM4rrB6xsA
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c9OEjZQfN
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHTd58WNa5
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwNydtQzkl
"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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshdh7A9wK2
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSjjVyLK9G
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELPbLXiLis
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sfLzYAWf4
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fuFVyl2rA
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTqNr9FDDx
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9sogdCmn7
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkVWaQ3hEx
"What is it?" Christine asked.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHveps3JGW
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL4otX06vc
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYbYjYi1uA
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DPt0O9Wx1
"He's here," I said.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrd5oNsk4N
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W6ThXL0O5
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ2VU5h8AK
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3Y6AntZXq
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUfNiXKunI
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHOXRyuKdD
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhZ8Z1oTRI
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzPI5d6V2G
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMbs2TiDsb
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0CHi2RzmY
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUa9yCOyX3
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDAA1ZyN8c
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp80bdQrVur
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJLwZeW0aN
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW89f2hI8Dr
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFIOulHBph
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIq23VmnuE
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgGqPuYa6g
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgVTZnG6f2
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uUwqZleoa
"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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSQhTXFoyw
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPthOL7Kta
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPiW8dTawq
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GFsgJUzaX
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnSt63EGhH
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmKCfWcAB1
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrKllOrLJ2
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXua7QGBUfV
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g72DrpaPt
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI3Ct5LdJY
"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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xS6IuR31B
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEtrcEXeGe
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRQ5ADdP9V
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIOdoP6Pmg
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8OKH3dV6l
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzuy8Ld2DL
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIIgCYuBoW
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qbSCqGmQX
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33PuWPoYYR
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5kfrF9Uj7
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiuRN69HEg
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpfbzRCNHx
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RvnFqT17h
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0X3uf0dor
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ57JSBl5iE
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumaGrBtFkO
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3XPOhKZQ6
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sbWh70goz
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspVHKo4IZy
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGynn54Vpw
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgczl2IxAsv
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1ncy9XArl
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....347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc7UkB1iDn
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZvTkNsChf
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJIL7wPU9g
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE1avuNDbn
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4uC9yLlR0
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjkaTlkHYB
"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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJRmgBJgvn
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNOeKXr37V
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp44rDcHpJ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVg1Wr4WFZ
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xAwGhG5uy
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAPwgqrVHn
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XBGhlBqMA
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlvDofiq5N
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7MXVXuR2W
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DmA2LzMbE
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9glUC4YpN
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkDo0KWdXF
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RabQkOlmJ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmobAS9bx74
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1IOkN2Bqy
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvqlV14JRX
"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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrosb9KmYip
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb2wz8SPKo
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1mOBRjXKn
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR8Zd2mVQm
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq5eZWlsnl
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTNXjYVhiA
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoMzXKMvix
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4vsKrlgN7
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavHbf0naRG
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cr7888p9X
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDljODph1k1
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlfuR7aXBJ
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZG6WSJDcO
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOxinQNx6L
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y4l0kMwFG
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv86qByyPuk
"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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUD6ecT6CZ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MtsA2w2Kq
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3yXu58u0V
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBHrx6ATtZ
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x7bRvl9eW
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM2lbqp55d
"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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlqtmK77fC
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeHKwpLfIs
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NqaQcRxy2
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARupAEPm0W
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bc5cuqmgF
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ6wX5PkG8
"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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPeG2FPifW
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QxoOnE70A
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9ljUA7ttg
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2AYqjKAS6
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOdHpmlGQa
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrgauoxuqA
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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdOnaDEovw
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWSP2oMfHT
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGAq1gHpiT
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BmpkOqKXo
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..."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILjs0EKD9G
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmAImQZQeV
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5NsTGhfhe
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM2mM0N6SB
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZywQQunpZH
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2jaCj9SJI
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7phH0ORAK
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvXo1RUE3N
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCML2atFR3
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixnDVTE0XT
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SnUSIlsWZ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR0yfEyOr7
"I can't believe it" she said.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64Hb5e05Qn
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPFIKhRPhi
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnwhXpytQu
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTo49osAlH
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzvzqKX0An
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gE2hy7ZyD
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSuDA2grFQ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoYcajyIfr
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtnzvsN4Y0
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpuxpoD86z
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwU34Mguxm
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1HS2QjPZw
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTrbPO9Z6B
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFglhbLAcHk
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:347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TTufU8u70
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSywf07DDPH
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGKjWA92IW
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG8LsvOEJ0
"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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGOJNQBc3q
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm76UFhk22
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaWQUQY9dL
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitlYbmk1Ey
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTBIJ9sYMo
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NMebtW9kX
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZxrPNypOn
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj6uNxF2cy
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYukc1eZ18
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cktxgrhhH
"He seems pretty cool."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZplU8ZnW97
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNxf4Slgfo
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M7oHAHnBb
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn70KbxcXYh
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Ht9MKeAE
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fHeSJSWKo
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQPreGa1Ke
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeFrMI731E
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB8WnRtgQu
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUTBpMKH3a
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaGAVzpQLo
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHjeBhiIt8
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T0ctPE1gH
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTresiktIbA
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73MxN5kKtz
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLEwBN5Esu
"This 'Johnny' thing?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4pNTlG4fQ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCQttYQ27w
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoccaJnbjkZ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRaTWqh8Bp
"Why would we?" I asked.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqeklMBgON
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpqOavY38x
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBgLVbF0bU
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP1wKK58Dk
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzzgLg8tMS
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCMqaNS6sb
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFx3pFOxTJ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVzo8VViNR
"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?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPNXm4X28v
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k6GvYPrVq
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyWNBYc0nI
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbqfCmEcmK
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla0PayFIfN
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Lz5GJgNyK
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSl2GUlmhE
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZmI2xGRGV
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXXJv2b6b6
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhkjn5SDgD
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKaT46DlC6
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA05hSBRfb
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW68JqF6lrp
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUDdFsc2ud
"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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzOsKmwuTV
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8OMCZuwR8
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kJPo9vU6O
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGWPAeGrSk
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMuGoj3W9B
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4rWTFrSZz
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRAYTYi0rj
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvUkDTaZqn
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDIHSxEI5E
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mAY518070
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZaqOaSfwP
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcqc5N7iHH
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsZaTHMvFf
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWC3mtzG0r
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAeICOwhcQ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNiVxpzgNh
"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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfz5lVLo4y
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgDilcYiLe
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT00up4LbOd
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IxbUk7oGR
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O3O4m44av
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAFcLrFo45
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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1fJMwsImw
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LX1s1ds6n
"Really?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCyYTYbJ6n
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtFgROcsZz
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCxDsVCrRj
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lF7Ecm627
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."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFSbDOKwob
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LwBq3BiO1
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zaNNdswxg
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo8YbCsWKv
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6d59fA6tp
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVgbeKDOGt
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74XYLSCdSl
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVXc5dVKff
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TzNoWIiId
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQshOWCkZx
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ8o3nCSgb
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSI3XSt1SE

The five of us all looked at each other. It was surprising we wanted something sweet to boost our spirits. We needed some fresh air too. We all turned to look at Lee who sighed. She needed a doughnut too.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2GgA45cZX
