Sam's P.O.V:167Please respect copyright.PENANAvLtINLRzHP
167Please respect copyright.PENANA5TqyKXpM6t
With Lee now back with us, we managed to get back to the studio, but it wasn't easy to get the guard away from the door. We had to make it look like the rest of us hadn't left. Daniel had to pretend that he needed company to go to the bathroom, and we made our way back into the studio. Lee had to wait for a few minutes before appearing to make it look like she was really coming back to the studio. Now we were all back in the studio, including Seunghoon, who had escorted the guard to the infirmary. He had come in before the rest of us did, and he too had to think of something for him to get in without the guard seeing him. Lisa and Jennie took care of that.167Please respect copyright.PENANAqabf3Wjlk0
167Please respect copyright.PENANAH56XbQGitN
As soon as Lee entered the room, those who had remained behind in the studio were excited to see her.167Please respect copyright.PENANAmtnzkjL6f9
167Please respect copyright.PENANAw7vsJnsrp0
"Lee, you're back!" Daniel exclaimed with joy as he went over to hug her.167Please respect copyright.PENANAV7wCXmRoUm
167Please respect copyright.PENANAucugx6yke4
"Wow, you act like you all thought I was dead," Lee said, blushing at the gesture.167Please respect copyright.PENANAorvvXbRLYB
167Please respect copyright.PENANAxIfmMbh1Qw
"You were running away from Johnny," said Mike. "Of course, we would worry."167Please respect copyright.PENANAnctqw58BHi
167Please respect copyright.PENANAhUNPxaGgkn
"I just hope they have caught him," said Mino. "He really gave us a hell of a time finding you."167Please respect copyright.PENANA5YrdSGntJC
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3Y2rvZA2dj
"I should've asked," I said as I was seated on the couch, still with the walkie-talkie in my hands.167Please respect copyright.PENANA9MJjJn7W22
167Please respect copyright.PENANAl8X1i8rExL
"Do you think they did?" Jinwoo asked. 167Please respect copyright.PENANA6Axapjo4v4
167Please respect copyright.PENANAW8QA3pWxvE
"Only one way to..."167Please respect copyright.PENANAy9wrhoQULU
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3UFB3QYpoS
Before I could even finish my sentence, the lights went out, then came back on seconds later. We all looked at each other. It looks like the power is back on.167Please respect copyright.PENANAxz9qMLx9rI
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3peMqxLhxD
"Well, it's about time," said the studio producer, who is still in the room.167Please respect copyright.PENANAIIXzVtXb2l
167Please respect copyright.PENANAwbRAdXhXnM
"If they have captured Johnny, won't that mean the lockdown is over?" Seungyoon asked. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAvObFzk2q2s
167Please respect copyright.PENANAtdfBz3eHIA
"Maybe," said Sam. "We should ask the guard I spoke to on the walkie-talkie."167Please respect copyright.PENANA6IoaVyGjLg
167Please respect copyright.PENANAsXIgkRJYsE
I held the walkie-talkie in my hand and went on channel 2. "This is Sam; any update on Johnny, over?"167Please respect copyright.PENANALP8SQTbBfn
167Please respect copyright.PENANAakvHxC5ID0
I waited for a response, but all I received was static. Strange. I felt people’s eyes on me, wondering what was going on.167Please respect copyright.PENANAsIqqxsb8RZ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAOTsZwQPEOj
"What’s going on? Why isn’t anyone responding?" Jisoo asked. 167Please respect copyright.PENANA8DQ5COkPW2
167Please respect copyright.PENANAZwPvRdpZSp
"Your guess is as good as mine. I'll try again."167Please respect copyright.PENANAbATGgBgVCr
167Please respect copyright.PENANASXpxtUVCta
I did just that, and this time around, I received a response:167Please respect copyright.PENANAjpu5mUCTdy
167Please respect copyright.PENANArc39iWW1vL
"This is Kim, over. The suspect, Johnny, hasn’t been apprehended, over." 167Please respect copyright.PENANAGXwCouuier
167Please respect copyright.PENANAFzP1EV2v5h
"What do you mean he hasn’t been apprehended, over." 167Please respect copyright.PENANAtMTnxHQ8qH
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQIfDCJk5k7
"Turns out no one cut the power line; there was just a technical issue, over. Lockdown has been lifted, over." 167Please respect copyright.PENANAdw5rucpt2b
167Please respect copyright.PENANAOMipSAaLrS
I sighed before clicking on the walkie-talkie and saying, "Thanks for the update, over and out."167Please respect copyright.PENANAGbRzB85sJa
167Please respect copyright.PENANAUFR6N1zXUX
Well, this is interesting, I thought to myself. Johnny didn’t cut the power. Everyone around is silent, looking at each other. Many eyes fell on me, as if I knew what all of this meant.167Please respect copyright.PENANAfyC5hoijQP
167Please respect copyright.PENANALErc5hEPY8
"Okay, what the heck is going?" Zoey asked out loud.167Please respect copyright.PENANAFd5WuNfB6M
167Please respect copyright.PENANA1E3k6Cwn8h
"I’m confused," said Lisa. "Didn’t they say someone cut the power?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAyY3A84B0dZ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAU8chay2z6P
"Perhaps it was all just a misunderstanding," said Seungyoon.167Please respect copyright.PENANAUksmTWRelz
167Please respect copyright.PENANAX53MTmMLsr
"No way. When it comes to Johnny, there’s no mistake," said Christine.167Please respect copyright.PENANAwlbFwf1xNH
167Please respect copyright.PENANAacIlNysbs3
"I agree," said Zoey. "Until they come here to give us a reasonable explanation, I’m not going anywhere."167Please respect copyright.PENANAnGcILJpIs5
167Please respect copyright.PENANAvO4cPSME63
"Yeah, I was chased on one of the floors and a couple of stairs, just to get away from him," said Lee. "There has to be a mistake here."167Please respect copyright.PENANAFBM9z0AWW2
167Please respect copyright.PENANAdia7oTjhG9
A knock came at the door, and Yong-guk told whomever it was to come in. The door flew open, and the guard came in with Collins and Yang Hyun-suk behind him.167Please respect copyright.PENANAfjNsfgn57K
167Please respect copyright.PENANAcl8S1m9jII
"I would like to inform all of you that the lockdown has been lifted, and you’re all free to move about," said the guard with such courtesy.167Please respect copyright.PENANAloWipgKH7R
167Please respect copyright.PENANA4UqwHJVTOA
Most of us in the room didn’t know how to respond to that when we had already received the news. A few of us responded in relief, pretending that all was normal. However, many weren’t afraid to show their discontent.167Please respect copyright.PENANAuZNhfL51Cw
167Please respect copyright.PENANA33vAsJ3u4M
The guard excused himself and left the room. The two managers looked at each of us, and something told me they could feel something wrong in the air.167Please respect copyright.PENANA3M3P5xuTG6
167Please respect copyright.PENANAwDFiNrhSsV
"I hear the song is ready," said Yang Hyun-suk. "But you all look like you’ve just received the worst news of your lives."167Please respect copyright.PENANAYucFBrmCNS
167Please respect copyright.PENANAFYqCGwYkLn
I remembered that I held the walkie-talkie in my hand and soon hid it behind me after turning it off. The last thing they need is for us to be caught when The Toxins made a promise to Collins that we wouldn’t do anything stupid.167Please respect copyright.PENANAC4fbrgtObA
167Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ0lkuDO55
"Nothing; they are exhausted," said Lee. "You know how hard they’ve had to work."167Please respect copyright.PENANAiD3SKJEm5G
167Please respect copyright.PENANAR8dOsKJJHS
"And there was the issue of the power cut. I hope that wasn’t much of a drawback."167Please respect copyright.PENANAIHAA6zh6ml
167Please respect copyright.PENANA58HVwF3DFZ
"Not really," Seungyoon answered.167Please respect copyright.PENANAJYpS0LNo0N
167Please respect copyright.PENANAzdN7Cabik0
"Well, it was when we heard that Johnny might have done it," said Zoey as she twirled strands of her hair in an absent-minded fashion.167Please respect copyright.PENANA4zHMjCFHLV
167Please respect copyright.PENANAwHMztS82cl
I wasn’t the only one who gave Zoey a look, telling her to keep her mouth shut. Lee, Mino, and Mike also did the same.167Please respect copyright.PENANAV5QlrxfjYz
167Please respect copyright.PENANAcuVjXy8bwa
"Oh, yes," said Collins. "When the electricians went to look at the problem, they were informed that one of the workers saw someone near the main power source and made the assumption that it was they who did it. But they later discovered that no one tampered with it." 167Please respect copyright.PENANAU4rfUUoDPI
167Please respect copyright.PENANA4OZBwomug3
"What?" all of us muttered.167Please respect copyright.PENANAWDAk0c7vng
167Please respect copyright.PENANAkZmQ13GFOO
"Yep, so there’s nothing to worry about," said Yang Hyun-suk.167Please respect copyright.PENANAt0m33EeVH9
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbrkeQX0WOE
I can’t believe this, and I shake my head in disbelief. I looked at Lee, and she had her eyes on me. Likewise, I wonder what she's thinking. Will she tell them that Johnny actually chased her down the stairs? Would they even believe her? They wouldn't take it lightly, that's for sure. But who knows?167Please respect copyright.PENANATA0TK2Tpzi
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQa71rI5M44
"But didn't they say someone matched Johnny’s description?" Rose asked. 167Please respect copyright.PENANApdSIRir7kA
167Please respect copyright.PENANAYUwpn8KPF0
"Yes, but all that was cleared up," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I hear he came here with G-Dragon, correct? One of the workers must have mistaken him for an imposter when he was only heading for the men’s room and got lost on the ground floor."167Please respect copyright.PENANAO5oF4QEY2w
167Please respect copyright.PENANAZhp8LY95yj
I still can't believe this. Have we been played here?167Please respect copyright.PENANAteeigpIBCS
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbO8lqrfVCs
We went back to looking at each other. I was expecting one of us to open up and explain that what has just been explained to us isn’t what we know. But none of us dared to open our mouths, not even Lee.167Please respect copyright.PENANANQ93pPdarq
167Please respect copyright.PENANADbmdymqj7Q
"I think he did it," said Zoey, not afraid to speak her mind.167Please respect copyright.PENANAX5lcqL6Jvr
167Please respect copyright.PENANAngFZS1Hu1E
"Well, we really can’t start pointing fingers when many of us weren’t even there," said Yang Hyun-suk.167Please respect copyright.PENANAhZ4ovaRA2y
167Please respect copyright.PENANASzco4brUt7
We continue throwing looks back and forth. Someone has to say something. But then that would mean us Toxins getting into trouble with Collins. The only one who could say anything is Lee. But looking at the situation, I don’t think she’s going to.167Please respect copyright.PENANAUfAvtm3IiM
167Please respect copyright.PENANApgWLxdDsAP
"We should just get on with it and listen to the song," said Yong-guk. "We’ve been here for a really long time, and a lot of us would want to get some fresh air."167Please respect copyright.PENANA7bmxuC92hF
167Please respect copyright.PENANAShULa7kOid
"Oh, yes, we really should," I said, thankful for Yong-guk for breaking what would’ve been an endless cycle of trying to accuse Johnny.167Please respect copyright.PENANAoNDiAf31wN
167Please respect copyright.PENANAGtd0LZ5L7k
"But wait," Zoey pointed out, but Christine, who stood next to her, held her shoulder, warning her not to say anything.167Please respect copyright.PENANARfvwejGey9
167Please respect copyright.PENANA7zCYB0bQ0f
"You were trying to say something, Zoey?" Collins asked. 167Please respect copyright.PENANASzC6u3zQfZ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAO5zbchLqwd
"Nothing," Zoey said, shaking her head. "I wanted to go out for some fresh air, if that’s okay."167Please respect copyright.PENANAzwF9Ycso9H
167Please respect copyright.PENANA89n4h5xEaF
"You may," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Being cooped up in here for so long isn’t good for you. We’ll listen to the song just fine."167Please respect copyright.PENANAwBnjjfOV3I
167Please respect copyright.PENANA7jC1vBakzW
"I’ll follow," said Christine. It’s for the best that Zoey has someone with her. Right now, I’m scared she will leave the premises and look for Johnny herself.167Please respect copyright.PENANAmuEcgB64BK
167Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ymn65qRdY
Apparently, many wanted to get out for some fresh air. That only left me, Yong-guk, and Mike behind with the managers and the producer. Lee also thought it was best to leave under the pretense that she wanted to get us something to eat. As much as I wanted to get out, I had to stay in case anything happened.167Please respect copyright.PENANAGrYKJrXJ8R
167Please respect copyright.PENANA8DykOmdGLd
Twenty minutes later, the managers had listened to the song for almost the fourth time. I wonder why they did so, because they left Yong-guk, Mike, and me a little nervous. Did they not like it? Doing it all over again isn't doing us any favours. The rest of BTW is already downtrodden as it is.167Please respect copyright.PENANAtwXNxZxfae
167Please respect copyright.PENANAqlQtDxqB1l
"The song is perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk as he turned in his chair to look at the three of us who stood behind him and Collins. "I couldn’t stop listening to it, and that's why I kept repeating it."167Please respect copyright.PENANAfN0RlJuVs9
167Please respect copyright.PENANArJYpZRfoZe
My heart felt like it would give way after what I'd just heard. This is great. Yong-guk gave a sigh of relief. Mike punched the air in triumph.167Please respect copyright.PENANATJJastrzqT
167Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ809bxhpm
"You all still have a lot of work to do," said Collins, turning to face us. "If we didn’t have a delay with the power cut, I would’ve liked that the three of you worked with the song-writers for the remaining four songs."167Please respect copyright.PENANABgdUxn31dE
167Please respect copyright.PENANABdv3O13u2w
"The day is pretty much over," said Yang Hyun-suk. "So I suggest we leave that for tomorrow, though we would need a lot of your effort, not only from you three but the rest of BTW. That means we’ll need you all here early in the morning." 167Please respect copyright.PENANAJOqirktHxs
167Please respect copyright.PENANAfS8QcFkdKn
"That’s fine," I said. "We need to tackle the album as quickly as possible."167Please respect copyright.PENANAjFwLFUDrdJ
167Please respect copyright.PENANA82r4SPqR5e
"That will be all," said Yang Hyun-suk, standing up from his seat. "We’ll meet tomorrow. Make sure to inform the others."167Please respect copyright.PENANAcEQj25Mb5G
167Please respect copyright.PENANAEK9QQhy0jm
"Of course we will," said Mike.167Please respect copyright.PENANA0qhevqX1kC
167Please respect copyright.PENANAihTAow7rbL
After the two managers had left, the three of us left the studio, with the studio producer heading downstairs. We didn’t use the elevator in fear of what happened earlier with the power.167Please respect copyright.PENANAMeOT5Trg7F
167Please respect copyright.PENANAlllYgxtwUo
"What a day it has been, huh?" the producer asked.167Please respect copyright.PENANA3bsihRYTYs
167Please respect copyright.PENANAx22zo9X1p6
"Yeah," said Mike as he scratched his head. "After finding out that Johnny didn’t pull the power, it still surprises me."167Please respect copyright.PENANAo0tjvNUwhf
167Please respect copyright.PENANAeoB1arZ6BI
"I can imagine how everyone is coping with this," said Yong-guk.167Please respect copyright.PENANAILt9FccxJm
167Please respect copyright.PENANAg4T7B9HOls
"Well, they just have to suck it in and forget about it. We've got more stressful things to worry about," I pointed out.167Please respect copyright.PENANA1KpDPsoPon
167Please respect copyright.PENANAPcQl9IbB34
After going down a few floors, the producer stopped on one of them, saying that he had to stay behind in his office to take care of a few things before calling it a day. We said our goodbyes to him as we continued our way to the ground floor. I wonder if the others are out there like they said they would, getting some fresh air.167Please respect copyright.PENANAgRZOfNjcQT
167Please respect copyright.PENANAoxZ1cJ85nB
We reach the ground floor, and it’s pretty much empty except for the receptionist, who waved at us when we reached the desk. We waved back, and just as we’re about to make our way out through the door, we find Seungyoon and Mino seated on the comfortable couches of the waiting area, each having a cup of vanilla ice cream with sprinkles.167Please respect copyright.PENANApv0737P3pR
167Please respect copyright.PENANAsalDucha98
"Hey, guys, you were going to miss out on the ice cream," said Mino when he spotted us.167Please respect copyright.PENANAhkgZZGjVzZ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAq00XLh5VGO
"Where did you get them?" Mike asked. "I now feel the urge for something to cool me down."167Please respect copyright.PENANA2KJJsMRIUj
167Please respect copyright.PENANAziDXp7R7ls
"Outside," Seungyoon answered. "Lee thought it best that we get something to cheer us up. An ice cream man just happened to be passing by."167Please respect copyright.PENANAJhQq04R8G2
167Please respect copyright.PENANATwftDqUJpW
"See you guys later," said Mike as he rushed out of the lobby at top speed. I’m surprised that he doesn’t look the least bit tired.167Please respect copyright.PENANAnJwZItTK1c
167Please respect copyright.PENANARgLsGQ4Ze4
"How is Zoey doing?" I asked Seungyoon and Mino.167Please respect copyright.PENANAk8ARBNPZ9k
167Please respect copyright.PENANAZr53EWCMxZ
"She’s upset, as usual," said Mino as he took a spoonful of ice cream and looked at it. "We all are. But for her, you already know how she is."167Please respect copyright.PENANAAVknNbkjrc
167Please respect copyright.PENANAFGFKvFhuby
"For a minute there, I thought you were going to say that she almost left the premises to look for Johnny."167Please respect copyright.PENANAaE8vqCfmCB
167Please respect copyright.PENANAqcnZOvSMMM
Seungyoon and Mino shared a nervous look. "Goodness, she did, didn’t she?" I asked. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAsQgis4LJ3X
167Please respect copyright.PENANAZOLk0gbHc0
"Well, it took Christine and Daniel to stop her," Seungyoon answered. "Daniel had to be the fastest to block her from reaching the gate." 167Please respect copyright.PENANAI6Jzq2tfEK
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnT2nVXAgrI
I held my forehead. Now I’m the one who needs ice cream.167Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9sOwGMTVt
167Please respect copyright.PENANAGNo2g8IUMt
As though reading my expression, Yong-guk said, "Let’s step outside."167Please respect copyright.PENANARq9MnEdaN7
167Please respect copyright.PENANAzu3Lf0Lyge
I agreed with him and started to make our way out. Seungyoon and Mino got up and followed.167Please respect copyright.PENANA0kXizmalpX
167Please respect copyright.PENANAxlO41ObaLV
We found ourselves in the parking lot and had our eyes fixed on the gate, where the rest of BTW and Lee stood beside an ice truck. What a nice time to have ice cream, I thought. We soon joined them, and Lee was the first to notice us coming.167Please respect copyright.PENANAhERMKeKrxB
167Please respect copyright.PENANAhGxdcy28Rc
"Ah, Sam, Yong-guk, just in time for some ice cream," she said. She had her ice cream in a cup as well, strawberry flavour. "What flavour would you two like?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAlE218aZvdV
167Please respect copyright.PENANAvAQHRWEA5x
"Chocolate," Yong-guk and I answered at the same time.167Please respect copyright.PENANAyqP7MtObGw
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQVxvDXr85A
"Ooh, you both like the same flavour," said Jisoo. She had an ice cream cone, caramel-flavoured. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAm2EQHA3lvU
167Please respect copyright.PENANAFWPkAZl0kS
"Pssh," said Seunghoon, who was by the vending window of the ice cream truck getting ice cream for everyone to go around. "I like chocolate too."167Please respect copyright.PENANAsaFg2lHGLI
167Please respect copyright.PENANAJjMw71cRLI
"But didn’t you order mint and chocolate?" Jinwoo asked. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAzRnIIAtU1g
167Please respect copyright.PENANAzIEEb0xJ8f
Seunghoon punched Jinwoo on the shoulder. A few of us laughed.167Please respect copyright.PENANA70YL4Bljqt
167Please respect copyright.PENANAl064Al69kY
"I’ll get mine on a cone," I noted. Yong-guk also agreed to the same. The ice cream man gave a nod of his head and went on ahead to make more ice cream.167Please respect copyright.PENANA3TI37Qt6c0
167Please respect copyright.PENANACSB23aw1Fw
I turned to look at Zoey, who stood with Christine, Lisa, and Rose as they licked their ice cream cones. She looks calm. But then again, she’s unpredictable.167Please respect copyright.PENANAdrjjiXZnFS
167Please respect copyright.PENANAZbMHnNZceD
"How is Zoey?" I asked Lee, who came to stand next to me.167Please respect copyright.PENANAbigTzTB0EJ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAn0SySUehdk
"She’s calm, for now," Lee answered. "Christine and the other girls haven’t left her side after she tried to walk out of the premises."167Please respect copyright.PENANAh4MuFTBsaG
167Please respect copyright.PENANAjDKDAObQNu
"We just need to keep an eye on her. Oh, and before I forget," I now addressed everyone around me. "Tomorrow, the managers want us all here early. Don’t say I didn’t warn you."167Please respect copyright.PENANAU8Wwbh5AF4
167Please respect copyright.PENANAtDUmgHANLJ
"But did they like the song?" Lisa asked. 167Please respect copyright.PENANA04vkLsJalE
167Please respect copyright.PENANASXmUQZzgH9
"Your manager liked it so much that he scared us by repeating it four times without saying a word," said Mike, as he had his blue moon ice cream in a cone. He licked it afterwards.167Please respect copyright.PENANADcPO4q6KSc
167Please respect copyright.PENANAaEk5J66kDm
"They didn’t ask why we were acting weird, did they?" Daniel asked. 167Please respect copyright.PENANApdZSNc5gpb
167Please respect copyright.PENANAmrbXFPMvak
"No, they didn’t," Yong-guk answered. "All they said was that we do our best tomorrow. And that means forgetting what happened with Johnny."167Please respect copyright.PENANAb3bhcPwIAX
167Please respect copyright.PENANApuRm87ivqH
No one spoke for a moment. Right now, we all don’t know what to believe. Did Johnny really cut the power? But he chased Lee on the stairs, so what’s there to expect? As usual, someone broke the silence.167Please respect copyright.PENANADTQHtk1bcZ
167Please respect copyright.PENANABouteh3a6e
"I’m sorry, but I still think he did it," said Zoey, going on to lick her ice cream.167Please respect copyright.PENANAIkvatoN1qx
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3TLKhhTbL9
"Of course he did," said Lee. "He chased me down the stairs."167Please respect copyright.PENANAXUEvDctbeo
167Please respect copyright.PENANACbILP05Sm0
"Why didn’t you say anything, Lee?" Zoey asked. "We would’ve put all of this to bed."167Please respect copyright.PENANAq5MgDWr37m
167Please respect copyright.PENANAC8cqdNgplC
Zoey sounded unreasonably calm, and I don’t think I’m the only one who noticed. Everyone had their eyes on her, giving her their full attention.167Please respect copyright.PENANAjDG2XGDiw1
167Please respect copyright.PENANA4NMmkrTxyd
"The fact that I didn’t contact them in the first place will raise questions," said Lee. "And something tells me that if we were to bring Johnny here to question him, he might well defend himself and say that he had been in the underground car park the whole time."167Please respect copyright.PENANAfEJDeBJ9kQ
167Please respect copyright.PENANActNhFVB9Rv
"I don’t think so," said Mino, who was almost done with his ice cream. "I think you should’ve said something all the same. He chased you down the stairs, for goodness sakes."167Please respect copyright.PENANAECiTEX0A9j
167Please respect copyright.PENANAXSDexT9SNu
"Yeah, but did he cut the power?" I asked. "I agree with Lee. Something wasn’t going to add up if we did tell them."167Please respect copyright.PENANAIfpCoABlXB
167Please respect copyright.PENANAM5sQJCQzuW
"Elaborate," said Zoey as she raised an eyebrow.167Please respect copyright.PENANAR89WcG8JWV
167Please respect copyright.PENANAO1SwPNMBrD
Before I could say anything, Seunghoon passed down my ice cream and Yong-guk’s. I thanked the ice cream man as he gave a small bow before turning away to clean near the ice cream machine.167Please respect copyright.PENANAGL7PBkXLS0
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbDVmoAw1PS
"For starters, how did Johnny know where to find the power source?" I first asked. "Usually such places are closed off to anyone unless you’re an electrician or something. So how did he get there?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAlYJlkVQ6a7
167Please respect copyright.PENANAOEjJe1QA92
"He must have broken in," Lisa answered.167Please respect copyright.PENANA1bAW1vlmmE
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbkSwhgtWpV
"If he did, then someone would’ve seen him through the security camera before the lights went out. But it turns out that all of that was an electrical fault. Maybe he found a way of dodging the cameras, and if not, then we should assume it was nothing but a normal fault."167Please respect copyright.PENANAYA5qh2sRY9
167Please respect copyright.PENANAEkY4xNgzgN
I could hear a few grunts. I can’t blame them. But we had to be logical here and try to understand what’s going on.167Please respect copyright.PENANAkIOv9hp19O
167Please respect copyright.PENANAM7RbYDvxIw
"I think you’re right," said Yong-guk. "But what I don’t understand is how they thought someone had cut the power and gave out a description similar to Johnny's."167Please respect copyright.PENANAPdzD0tyUp8
167Please respect copyright.PENANAtZnBipurXe
"True, that’s one thing I can’t get my head around," said Mike.167Please respect copyright.PENANAtviVI9Cyma

"We can always ask the guards," said Jennie.167Please respect copyright.PENANAwayiFIYIIO

"I’m wondering how Johnny managed to pull this off and get away like nothing happened," I said as I licked my ice cream. The ice-cold rush to my head made me remember something, and I soon snapped my fingers.167Please respect copyright.PENANA1eClu2uo3F
167Please respect copyright.PENANA12fJKNawtQ
"Has anyone tried to call G-Dragon?" I asked.167Please respect copyright.PENANAcXCTKCUzsZ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAsUy9IKLpII
"I did, and he didn’t pick up," Zoey answered. "Maybe he’s trying to act normal while he’s still with Johnny."167Please respect copyright.PENANAjnSd32HUS9
167Please respect copyright.PENANAXX7WBVcSZl
"Just like Sam, I wonder how he got away after we informed the guards where to find him," said Mino.167Please respect copyright.PENANA5eshi9D1DV
167Please respect copyright.PENANAcwrNN2hpDm
"Maybe it was then that they clarified it wasn’t him," said Yong-guk.167Please respect copyright.PENANAAUIsiZ2zN4
167Please respect copyright.PENANAGJ9G4M66Dz
"Or perhaps all this is mistaken identity, and the person who did it is still out there," Daniel suggested.167Please respect copyright.PENANAQSxNKdTdFN
167Please respect copyright.PENANA830aGgnaEb
"You think he didn't do it alone?" Mike asked. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAMwwPAjHGit
167Please respect copyright.PENANAuHWUhSHi7I
Daniel shook his head. "I think so. He had to have some help, didn’t he?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAj5IbaHxfLc
167Please respect copyright.PENANAxiF3owZ8dy
"Huh, I didn’t think about that," I said, thinking of the possibility that Daniel might be right.167Please respect copyright.PENANAfLANkChIHj
167Please respect copyright.PENANAjdUCbLwLsG
"But who helped him, because it surely wasn't G-Dragon," said Seunghoon.167Please respect copyright.PENANA1FD89gjYoA
167Please respect copyright.PENANAOZBxHaTSLI
"What if he did?" Zoey asked, her eyes widening as though she had finally realized something. "If he was, he's going to hear from me."167Please respect copyright.PENANAui7dnzGESY
167Please respect copyright.PENANACtgwHzNrng
"I don’t think so," said Rose. "Why would he do it?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAq3IOkg4DwG
167Please respect copyright.PENANAN9IIKVHP4J
We all remained silent for a while, thinking it over. If you ask me, we shouldn’t be thinking too much. Whether he did it or not, Johnny is somewhere riding along with G-Dragon, enjoying the last rays of sun for the day.167Please respect copyright.PENANAFEaA0U5j6f

"I think we all need to get back and rest," said Lee. She pulled out her phone. We've got a long day tomorrow, and the sooner you go and rest, the better."167Please respect copyright.PENANAh3iYTUiRXy

"Yeah, we better be hitting the road," said Lisa. "Whatever has happened, has happened. This message solely goes out to you, Zoey."167Please respect copyright.PENANAfIWXcJRMDY
167Please respect copyright.PENANAMfiSrSfmOm
Zoey had finished the last bit of her ice cream cone when she looked at Lisa. "I know, I know," she said. "You people worry about me too much. I’m not going to do anything stupid."167Please respect copyright.PENANAwa4KlU0ZfD

The BlackPink members made their way back into the YG premises after saying their goodbyes, as did the WINNER members. After Yong-guk and I finished our ice creams, he also took his leave. The five of us Toxins with Lee went back into the YG premises and waved at the BlackPink members as their car drove by, as did the other car with WINNER. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAhcZ1SZJGsr
167Please respect copyright.PENANA0jBv1Vx0PR
We were just heading to our car when I remembered something.167Please respect copyright.PENANABI2nzOQBym
167Please respect copyright.PENANA2l3Hgzy0Bt
"Lee, do you know where the infirmary is?" I asked. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAwhtuugyLcO
167Please respect copyright.PENANAA53e8xL6jP
"Yes, I do," she answered. "Why?" 167Please respect copyright.PENANAm8LZYdA6UI
167Please respect copyright.PENANAUGrA7FflVA
"Let’s go and see how the guard is doing. We left a little parcel with him too. Anyone want to come?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAfIp9qUCBEC
167Please respect copyright.PENANAyXPrrpYuPm
The rest of The Toxins agreed to follow, and Lee led us back into the YG building. She led us to the floor where the infirmary is. We found the guard, and he seems to be doing much better.167Please respect copyright.PENANAdWM314MbWU
167Please respect copyright.PENANAUcJqFHNhbX
"It's just a sprain; it will heal," he informed us as he sat on one of the beds in the room. The place is pretty much empty except for the nurse available, who is looking through a cabinet in the corner of the room.167Please respect copyright.PENANA5vqEkyBtzK
167Please respect copyright.PENANAW7iQhR7hvC
"And what about the kitty?" Zoey asked. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAiN1WIt684Q
167Please respect copyright.PENANAX90CjwjVjk
"Kitty?" Daniel asked. Mike and Lee also looked confused.167Please respect copyright.PENANADWVWqm3RXp
167Please respect copyright.PENANALbJKRCmLz9
"While we were looking for Lee, we stumbled upon a kitten," I answered.167Please respect copyright.PENANAkd0qq8TVPi
167Please respect copyright.PENANAM07ukcnMxk
"Don’t worry, I didn’t forget," said the guard as he pointed to the floor. Our eyes spotted a cardboard box under the bed. Mike bent down to pull it out, and there in it lay the black kitten. It stared nervously at Mike.167Please respect copyright.PENANAB3zNhISQ1O
167Please respect copyright.PENANAagxO4YBdES
"I hope it wasn’t much trouble," I said as Mike lifted the box.167Please respect copyright.PENANA2EHs2gCmPY
167Please respect copyright.PENANAcjZ8hzH3Mq
"It didn’t even make a sound," said the nurse as she passed us to head to the door. "And there were many people in here at some point, but it kept to itself. Pets aren’t allowed in here."167Please respect copyright.PENANASAeHYHtqun
167Please respect copyright.PENANAidfndWgjci
"We were told," said Zoey. "I wonder how it got here."167Please respect copyright.PENANApNBqTRdXL6
167Please respect copyright.PENANAREFedaaU6x
"I guess we will never know," I said. "By the way," I turned to the guard, "did you hear that Johnny wasn’t the culprit?"167Please respect copyright.PENANALYJJ62q5Bt
167Please respect copyright.PENANAvO0H8O2VhB
"I did. I've got to say, I still don’t believe it," the guard answered.167Please respect copyright.PENANA98JhcKhHjd
167Please respect copyright.PENANA0OKQeqVMLZ
"That’s what we think too," said Mike.167Please respect copyright.PENANAXfBfoNKkrJ
167Please respect copyright.PENANA7D6HkkvD3R
"Do you think they must have made a mistake?" Daniel asked. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAjkVwc4jDP1
167Please respect copyright.PENANAljeLf6zMmc
"Well, we were told that there was a person who matched Johnny’s description," explained the guard. "But it turns out that Johnny had gotten lost somehow and found himself heading to the hall where the power source is. So when one of the workers found him, they must have thought after the power went out that it was him who did it. You know, you can never be certain with foreigners. But when they checked the source, for starters, the room was locked, and they found out that the connections were faulty by accident and forgot to inform the security guards on time until later on."167Please respect copyright.PENANAbH921GMxBl
167Please respect copyright.PENANA8yX5uEVUqd
"So, you guys were on a wild goose chase for the wrong person?" Lee asked. 167Please respect copyright.PENANABSCJcsxoVt
167Please respect copyright.PENANAy5lI1IEYer
"Seems so. The locked door and the faulty wires add up. Johnny couldn’t have gone in there without a key to begin with."167Please respect copyright.PENANAsIdebkEdZr
167Please respect copyright.PENANADcmIKIjQrI
"Then what about him chasing Lee down the stairs?" Mike asked. 167Please respect copyright.PENANApXSyppoD6u
167Please respect copyright.PENANAfh0QdN35R6
"Probably he did that just for fun," Daniel answered, shrugging his shoulders. "He does love to do that sometimes. And I bet he pretended to be lost after the guards found him."167Please respect copyright.PENANAUKiOqNa0YJ
167Please respect copyright.PENANA6xlsmFZgdN
"Well, I guess that clears things up," I said. "It’s best we head back to the hotel."167Please respect copyright.PENANAP4DxONmwge
167Please respect copyright.PENANAjnvRVcSma2
"I should be heading out too," said the guard as he stood. "Because of the little accident, I’ve been given some free time off today."167Please respect copyright.PENANAfxgvhVI7NE
167Please respect copyright.PENANAd9s2aM0ffH
"Alright, maybe we will see you tomorrow," said Lee.167Please respect copyright.PENANAgGux3cfpbh
167Please respect copyright.PENANAmx3dSLnQbX
We bade farewell to the guard, not forgetting to hand back his walkie-talkie, and went downstairs to the car park with Mike carrying the kitten in the box. The others couldn’t help but admire how adorable it looked.167Please respect copyright.PENANA0wO6Pjd1lF
167Please respect copyright.PENANAqszBZigbyT
When we got in the car and the driver took us back to the hotel, we couldn’t help but debate whether Collins would be okay with us taking care of it. We would probably not go back home to the U.S. with it, but it will be nice to have a pet around for the time being.167Please respect copyright.PENANASLLmU7g6gn
167Please respect copyright.PENANACYbY6crlRT
We got to the hotel at five in the evening, and we were tired as hell. When we got to our floor, Lee made sure we went straight to our rooms. Zoey and I took the kitten out of the box and placed it at the foot of my bed. I made myself a mental note to order some milk in the evening for the kitten to have.167Please respect copyright.PENANAlEsTDm09l9
167Please respect copyright.PENANAVrlJPh4agb
"I’m so tired," said Zoey as she lay down on her bed after removing her shoes.167Please respect copyright.PENANAEo2TFalSIV
167Please respect copyright.PENANAfRJopRqTJp
"Same here," I said as I had a long, blue scarf in my hands that I got from my suitcase and folded it to make a pleasant, warm resting place for the kitten. I knelt beside the box as I did so.167Please respect copyright.PENANAwf1KdQAE9p
167Please respect copyright.PENANACO7rMEAAxe
"You still think Johnny cut the power, right?" Zoey asked. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAdSbnT3JryS
167Please respect copyright.PENANA8ymEC5pqMD
"I don’t know," I answered as I lifted the kitten and placed it on top of the scarf. I made sure to make it more like a nest so that it was covered on all sides. "After hearing the explanation the guard gave us, we might have been wrong all along."167Please respect copyright.PENANAn19J7FtIuT
167Please respect copyright.PENANAj5opjlpUxY
"I don’t think so." Zoey leaned up on her elbow to look at me. "He did it. And as much as you want to deny it, you know he did it."167Please respect copyright.PENANA2vog5hfOyY
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbBZf4T5AOW
"I didn’t say he did." I stood up from the floor, shaking my head. "Let’s rest, Zoey, okay? If we keep talking about this, my head is going to explode."167Please respect copyright.PENANAwpFmpvpkzr
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3KYzuWGRSi
Zoey sighed. "You’re right. I’m starting to feel my head too."167Please respect copyright.PENANAZv9mw2BeAh
167Please respect copyright.PENANAYNO0umWSbU
I sit on my bed and remove my shoes. Afterwards, I laid down, and it didn’t take me a minute to fall right into the abyss of sleep.167Please respect copyright.PENANAxzzqFSg63o

I slowly opened my eyes, and I didn't have to look at the window to know that it was nighttime. I turned and groped around for my phone, which I'm sure I had left beside me. Lucky enough, I grab hold of it and bring it close to my face to check the time. It's almost eight. Supper will be brought up anytime soon.167Please respect copyright.PENANAHETU5N1z8R
167Please respect copyright.PENANAjLkCs7mwcY
I sit up and try to rub off the sleep in my eyes. Likewise, I yawn as I stretch out my arms. I turn to see if Zoey is awake. She has herself covered with the sheets and is facing the other way. It's best that I don't disturb her.167Please respect copyright.PENANAfpYNiMn8f6
167Please respect copyright.PENANAMJb0rwTGCA
I get out of bed and go to the bathroom to relieve myself, but not before looking into the box at the foot of the bed to see the kitten also fast asleep.167Please respect copyright.PENANAV7l1HJ5m5u
167Please respect copyright.PENANAGjf7lTYxYg
After I came out of the bathroom, I decided to go to the lounge and make a call downstairs to the kitchen to bring in something for the kitten as they brought our supper.167Please respect copyright.PENANAeuN5Sd0mE5
167Please respect copyright.PENANAmMaT4b1nKY
I go to the lobby, and I find Lee sitting on the couch with her laptop on her lap. I wonder what she could be looking at.167Please respect copyright.PENANAN43w5VGLXI
167Please respect copyright.PENANAxQho4bVSmI
"Hey, there, sleepy head," she said when she noticed me standing there. "I didn't expect you to be awake at this time."167Please respect copyright.PENANApIpN4CAYbI
167Please respect copyright.PENANAP2Ig2dXMgR
"Me neither," I replied as I slowly approached. "I wanted to make a call to the kitchen to bring in some milk for the kitten."167Please respect copyright.PENANA7asuQEgar3
167Please respect copyright.PENANAm3zAQXWWb5
"I already did that. I called them a few minutes ago, and they will be up here any minute now. Why don't you wake the others up?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAYnEOQw4FYH
167Please respect copyright.PENANAugMuzfeR2Z
"Will do." Before I turn around to go back into the hall, I look at Lee and ask, "Is Collins back yet?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7R3pS9TKY
167Please respect copyright.PENANAkV2rbbuVsR
Lee shook her head. "Not yet. Just like you, he's also working hard to push this album forward. But he'll be here. I called him a few minutes ago."167Please respect copyright.PENANAExYCG6naQf
167Please respect copyright.PENANAJq254UfQmt
"Okay. I'll go wake the others up."167Please respect copyright.PENANA8hrInUJecj
167Please respect copyright.PENANAlR2KiSTc89
I slowly make my way back to the room to wake Zoey up first. Likewise, I approach her bed and call out to her:167Please respect copyright.PENANAOrnyjOK9w9
167Please respect copyright.PENANAVnibZ7z7sH
"Zoey, wake up. Dinner will be here soon."167Please respect copyright.PENANAVgaasrcSu7
167Please respect copyright.PENANAkkOjbIuZAI
Zoey didn't budge. She must be deep asleep, like she always is when she's tired. I call out to her again, but there is no reply or movement. I groaned as I came closer to her bed and grabbed hold of the bed covers.167Please respect copyright.PENANA97By44hOZd
167Please respect copyright.PENANABie9TWwQeE
"Come on, Zoey, I'm not kidding," I said, and I pulled aside the bed covers.167Please respect copyright.PENANAe0HnqQmK82
167Please respect copyright.PENANA9jHACWtsdr
"What the-?" There are clothes and bedsheets under the covers. Zoey isn't here.167Please respect copyright.PENANAaNeMRSTEnR
167Please respect copyright.PENANAWOu7XUgkld
"Zoey?" I call out as I look around the room, hoping for her to appear from under the bed, but this isn't a prank. I rush over to the bathroom. There’s no sign of her.167Please respect copyright.PENANAtRjuWGRSu7
167Please respect copyright.PENANAHfsh2zpExK
"Goodness, where could she be?" I wonder as I walk out of the bathroom.167Please respect copyright.PENANA3CuBNOt3KN
167Please respect copyright.PENANACsp8PiLevX
I looked over at her bed, and a terrifying thought soon came to mind. As I made my way out of the room, I called out to Lee:167Please respect copyright.PENANAFJFePUSwnm
167Please respect copyright.PENANA9GAMi9Oosc
"Lee! Lee, we've a problem." 167Please respect copyright.PENANAojMi7TH0nl

"What is it?" she asked.167Please respect copyright.PENANATDPyrqGw9y

"What do you mean she's gone?" Lee asked, looking utterly confused.167Please respect copyright.PENANAGPmcVxODkg
167Please respect copyright.PENANA2uxiylCJUr
"She's not in the room, and she put a bundle of her clothes on to make it look like she was fast asleep."167Please respect copyright.PENANAlwzWGXi4Up
167Please respect copyright.PENANArzGr8y4jdy
Lee put aside her laptop and stood. "This is bad. You don't think she's done this because of what happened."167Please respect copyright.PENANAERk5WM2qmF

"Of course she has. I should've kept my eye on her."167Please respect copyright.PENANAA9QUtcGSkc

167Please respect copyright.PENANAUWUAxJQpZb
I quickly rush out of the lounge towards the other rooms, my mind buzzing. Zoey is putting us in a whole other dilemma with the stunt she's pulled. I only hope she hasn't done anything stupid. Yet. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAkJhM2HT1LX
167Please respect copyright.PENANA34femf0tfg
Upon entering the room Christine is in, I find her sitting up on her bed, looking sleepy. Good, she's here and not with Zoey.167Please respect copyright.PENANA9YbCJal9iD

"No, I need you in the lounge right now," I answered. We've got an emergency."167Please respect copyright.PENANA0ub1e4z8mG
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnOvASLEcgy
I quickly go to the boys' room, and I find them still asleep. I wake them up and tell them to come over to the lounge. They aren't happy with the way I wake them up, but they slowly come out of bed, saying they will be there.167Please respect copyright.PENANAXdslJBARBY
167Please respect copyright.PENANA1g6mzHg4mh
I make my way back to the lounge, and Lee is just getting off the phone, probably from talking to security.167Please respect copyright.PENANA8HPrIzIhLt

Zoey pulls the hoodie over her head and sighs in relief. Leaving the hotel was a big deal, and she managed to pull it off with a simple disguise of wearing the hood of her black jumper over her head and big, black sunglasses to hide her face. She looked out the car window as the car continued its way to downtown Seoul, hoping that the others hadn't figured out that she wasn't in the hotel yet.167Please respect copyright.PENANA1o911nxz2M
167Please respect copyright.PENANANjBdOq3N0i
"Sam won't be mad at me if she knows that you're with me, right?" Mino asked. 167Please respect copyright.PENANA4NfEDTkm2h
167Please respect copyright.PENANAhsShczVf33
Zoey looked at him in the driver’s seat. "She would be mad at me the most," she answered. "Just get me where I've got to go, and I'll do the rest."167Please respect copyright.PENANAU4MHkJbFJH

167Please respect copyright.PENANAZbeJbztmvQ
"Are you really scared of Sam that much?" Zoey almost laughed.167Please respect copyright.PENANAu6eflUIZGB
167Please respect copyright.PENANAgXexFhoPIg
