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?530Please respect copyright.PENANAda3RzmguQl
530Please respect copyright.PENANAQeqCeri2ln
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.530Please respect copyright.PENANAZyi1jFZzrj
530Please respect copyright.PENANAFcYl7IA41d
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.530Please respect copyright.PENANA3JZTxmEKhp
530Please respect copyright.PENANACjaAJmXXPb
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.530Please respect copyright.PENANAeaZMcnlibg
530Please respect copyright.PENANApbtM4n6S2s
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.530Please respect copyright.PENANAnVuMBC8pTl
530Please respect copyright.PENANA3vw671iQkE
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.530Please respect copyright.PENANAAmR652QmTZ
530Please respect copyright.PENANAWDxbPn6zsv
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.530Please respect copyright.PENANA39Bjgmh29O
530Please respect copyright.PENANAbPOGdSC9fT
"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?"530Please respect copyright.PENANAuzS4GIYyF1
530Please respect copyright.PENANAyyguESJYSn
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."530Please respect copyright.PENANADUD6qjb4WH
530Please respect copyright.PENANA6cyoh52ZNW
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.530Please respect copyright.PENANAQuL5UOEebu
530Please respect copyright.PENANASOPnPubCVu
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.530Please respect copyright.PENANAG7hijRjzzS
530Please respect copyright.PENANAOpheKwJ80X
"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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAkTz3TcmJ4I
530Please respect copyright.PENANALqJRH71ZId
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAy2vOsJ5DW1
530Please respect copyright.PENANApbEUtYYCWq
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.530Please respect copyright.PENANA8pSStdFAxy
530Please respect copyright.PENANANDFeJVzDQC
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.530Please respect copyright.PENANAxquXvvWOQP
530Please respect copyright.PENANA5JtYJ6cdzh
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.530Please respect copyright.PENANAPlW78CRAJv
530Please respect copyright.PENANA296xQQsxhy
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAy4LfUpJTZr
530Please respect copyright.PENANAnNh6AenJ8h
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANA32R0LyApIb
530Please respect copyright.PENANAoN26ia1094
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."530Please respect copyright.PENANAVwW2WEZD13
530Please respect copyright.PENANAr0HsbZ4nvX
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.530Please respect copyright.PENANA5hkGpvXM3w
530Please respect copyright.PENANAHutIkN10Gb
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANA6hXga7R7pK
530Please respect copyright.PENANACbaTK12zQz
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANAeC5y97b7or
530Please respect copyright.PENANAexGPkPo4dP
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."530Please respect copyright.PENANAxC42KHjOpE
530Please respect copyright.PENANAvNRF6mJfit
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.530Please respect copyright.PENANAVoRygzL2VO
530Please respect copyright.PENANAdz7dcsPdsx
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.530Please respect copyright.PENANAO1bnekywzN
530Please respect copyright.PENANAi6YoBur4CA
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.530Please respect copyright.PENANAS57IJvTeaE
530Please respect copyright.PENANAj5nWMCYlwf
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAdn9JPbQASd
530Please respect copyright.PENANAcgvSuYTb4E
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."530Please respect copyright.PENANAJFopZy7dZW
530Please respect copyright.PENANAIdCfEYqpBV
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.530Please respect copyright.PENANA7L1ZUlPL9e
530Please respect copyright.PENANABYPDIunVNq
"Sometimes I think you cheat."530Please respect copyright.PENANAPf6RriZyRM
530Please respect copyright.PENANAAbJ2ButAbp
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAtw2Cbps4d4
530Please respect copyright.PENANAythE7JM6rm
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."530Please respect copyright.PENANAQzzRhR1sUE
530Please respect copyright.PENANA6WCqsoLtjo
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.530Please respect copyright.PENANAUm7b3ipbXj
530Please respect copyright.PENANAdmrJaxF3H8
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.530Please respect copyright.PENANADAJwsx8hie
530Please respect copyright.PENANAiE2GhrFkdL
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.530Please respect copyright.PENANAaz5NVoLteA
530Please respect copyright.PENANA3vI556FTL5
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAic5DQ9yiXL
530Please respect copyright.PENANANgJptM0a6m
"I better go give them a call, then."530Please respect copyright.PENANAdecY182pDV
530Please respect copyright.PENANAOiQtOxbwqj
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAH8urrgtT52
530Please respect copyright.PENANAlOSBYhZOQa
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAAW4DdMTcOF
530Please respect copyright.PENANAdHg2IfIUm2
"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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAVnmrVv8XyZ
530Please respect copyright.PENANAJ58qT5Xri4
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAniPOyvJHcJ
530Please respect copyright.PENANAYjickSe4um
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAuSuYJfcR1t
530Please respect copyright.PENANAWclbWgoDUt
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?530Please respect copyright.PENANA0r28gGEwar
530Please respect copyright.PENANAyMVyylN14B
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANA2Efyd8FdM5
530Please respect copyright.PENANABNOsmbQ4Q5
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.530Please respect copyright.PENANANbBiozfppZ
530Please respect copyright.PENANAHptpVq6xMT
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANATakZ3mJ9l7
530Please respect copyright.PENANAu67uEQ1b3A
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."530Please respect copyright.PENANA8GwuJnLGMv
530Please respect copyright.PENANA7uln8l0WA4
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"530Please respect copyright.PENANAlAfulHlcRn
530Please respect copyright.PENANAe0etJahHzA
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"530Please respect copyright.PENANA1aJUzBwJNa
530Please respect copyright.PENANAkeJgmCLieF
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAEE9vHAGOuM
530Please respect copyright.PENANAZrb6CG5RWY
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAaErj5zwiys
530Please respect copyright.PENANAVKXvFEJOXK
"Ya, sure."530Please respect copyright.PENANAUujEhMKITL
530Please respect copyright.PENANAHCCK3Xt5xX
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAcLlbT3rs2l
530Please respect copyright.PENANA8V4oP8Aqdi
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.530Please respect copyright.PENANAZVc7OF8Ejd
530Please respect copyright.PENANAHt8x4n2LBF
"Anything?" Zoey asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANAK41bmkYxGq
530Please respect copyright.PENANA9COT8OxhRq
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAwshulcKBA7
530Please respect copyright.PENANAtPqrwS8AQD
"Okay, well, we can wait."530Please respect copyright.PENANApBIaK6Swvo
530Please respect copyright.PENANAtBzThqMpeg
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."530Please respect copyright.PENANADTFfhQBoOG
530Please respect copyright.PENANAqn2FsUl2qD
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."530Please respect copyright.PENANAS232X7Zn1a
530Please respect copyright.PENANA8VYVchiKP7
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."530Please respect copyright.PENANAuUHaOJzNNN
530Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9YoI6L5pE
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."530Please respect copyright.PENANAWOHrXIB9ra
530Please respect copyright.PENANAamPFCcS7T5
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."530Please respect copyright.PENANADzqhE4QoNq
530Please respect copyright.PENANA09Bv5f5QkV
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.530Please respect copyright.PENANAp7z1fhNr5G
530Please respect copyright.PENANAM9Bh5PTu3a
"We can't work on the song without them."530Please respect copyright.PENANAMncFFs9ai2
530Please respect copyright.PENANAU6PWiAGRf8
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."530Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZUHKQJMrf
530Please respect copyright.PENANAe0UNKaocBy
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAscpE6FGmM8
530Please respect copyright.PENANAZzBYCZsIGG
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."530Please respect copyright.PENANA32npnTil1l
530Please respect copyright.PENANAlbv5rbIX0X
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.530Please respect copyright.PENANACFDYpK1aLE
530Please respect copyright.PENANAzqcZ1Tg39C
"Then get your guitar and notebook."530Please respect copyright.PENANAWEAEuyalan
530Please respect copyright.PENANAiFhCMHcNBM
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."530Please respect copyright.PENANA0zmEkzZRYe
530Please respect copyright.PENANASkGCksDJcl
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"530Please respect copyright.PENANAWv2ef46fvZ
530Please respect copyright.PENANA2oyel8bgee
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."530Please respect copyright.PENANAlztZLKgs06
530Please respect copyright.PENANAYukg75nDFj
"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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAO4x4n2L2P3
530Please respect copyright.PENANA4zAuZLr9Cb
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAyDOJLLYZF3
530Please respect copyright.PENANAFvZldqjwxw
"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.530Please respect copyright.PENANA1NsMLUDG4u
530Please respect copyright.PENANAsf5LhBAPEt
"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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAoCOOjahgUo
530Please respect copyright.PENANAcEEEe67w7g
"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?"530Please respect copyright.PENANAMiJ9PKfhLF
530Please respect copyright.PENANAnTjf94f2Zd
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.530Please respect copyright.PENANAt0jWjMcYEN
530Please respect copyright.PENANA2JbQDXj1Bd
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."530Please respect copyright.PENANA0ImDARmrXR
530Please respect copyright.PENANAmTvqVPkqQg
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.530Please respect copyright.PENANAS3aDPZqzWB
530Please respect copyright.PENANAw4U1JIvrFz
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.530Please respect copyright.PENANAOXNtu9Tt0X
530Please respect copyright.PENANAwxkgCpPIG6
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.530Please respect copyright.PENANAnaUUYK29uL
530Please respect copyright.PENANARsZPtSqC6c
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.530Please respect copyright.PENANAABc3RqUg32
530Please respect copyright.PENANARJczlwSanQ
"Yes, really," I answered.530Please respect copyright.PENANAn2j9aX4Yn5
530Please respect copyright.PENANACK4hGijlpe
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAU10J3r7LjY
530Please respect copyright.PENANAk4WCk7c3kE
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."530Please respect copyright.PENANAAf3m1a8n9w
530Please respect copyright.PENANALK1TRUMhnK
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.530Please respect copyright.PENANARniKx1Ve90
530Please respect copyright.PENANAYNOWikhnPr
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.530Please respect copyright.PENANAVhD80k4HQs
530Please respect copyright.PENANAgvj44mpf4i
"What went well?" Lee asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANAS3qkt3JTHZ
530Please respect copyright.PENANA3sAq0hAGkB
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.530Please respect copyright.PENANAlo8z5r2iFB
530Please respect copyright.PENANAe4LOLyIRtx
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANA3JvBCIOitV
530Please respect copyright.PENANArMsJMLQDd5
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANA71vZNM5jKt
530Please respect copyright.PENANAUrH1PJIoRN
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.530Please respect copyright.PENANAFMQqh1nNon
530Please respect copyright.PENANAOG2sESvCgr
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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAJNo0uDQoWc
530Please respect copyright.PENANAK1qvZAuoMm
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.530Please respect copyright.PENANAhXJVd3e2Ey
530Please respect copyright.PENANA1oH5sV4HqV
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANApNrhN3Apoq
530Please respect copyright.PENANAWcbE8Xele0
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.530Please respect copyright.PENANApZF3OeE7VR
530Please respect copyright.PENANAiL22pFshoi
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.530Please respect copyright.PENANAyqPGXugozI
530Please respect copyright.PENANAlx6hxw0M4a
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.530Please respect copyright.PENANAMIw9kN8hCM
530Please respect copyright.PENANAyCD7aNJ31g
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.530Please respect copyright.PENANAy6uzCoAKR5
530Please respect copyright.PENANAH5tt50iaf3
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANA3OS6Ogskg0
530Please respect copyright.PENANASlwufBC9RP
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.530Please respect copyright.PENANAg08oLFlfHs
530Please respect copyright.PENANANTtPgz1Qwg
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANAb7PXSOoW5w
530Please respect copyright.PENANAnBAtKHwfCy
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.530Please respect copyright.PENANA777mZGTX7r
530Please respect copyright.PENANAW3XW2dHT8z
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."530Please respect copyright.PENANAOEtGEDUsfE
530Please respect copyright.PENANAWkwzzkTt4e
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"530Please respect copyright.PENANAQuu3SnSXiy
530Please respect copyright.PENANAiNch4ehu84
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANARw03UvpI4H
530Please respect copyright.PENANA4zV0fhlY9W
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"530Please respect copyright.PENANAup3WrNYF6D
530Please respect copyright.PENANAyuHQYSzRVa
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."530Please respect copyright.PENANAUWWEyQYi96
530Please respect copyright.PENANAMiImRMfcHx
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.530Please respect copyright.PENANAo7jnFrSA6M
530Please respect copyright.PENANAk9zx6P4fMb
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."530Please respect copyright.PENANAyWFT7EA1WF
530Please respect copyright.PENANATKPfkNOBPJ
"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?"530Please respect copyright.PENANAwsDvoZgpcX
530Please respect copyright.PENANAwS72yMKCea
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.530Please respect copyright.PENANAH30Y4KZMOf
530Please respect copyright.PENANAZNbAyxOlux
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.530Please respect copyright.PENANAT03CfgpyLw
530Please respect copyright.PENANAtL2Hr3889B
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"530Please respect copyright.PENANAb1tiLWCiS9
530Please respect copyright.PENANAzZdo1Ot77d
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.530Please respect copyright.PENANAjutVfYarIi
530Please respect copyright.PENANAeuTlPE9QnW
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.530Please respect copyright.PENANA6UpsMNWQMS
530Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6nxlN0lo1
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAYxi72xPUIu
530Please respect copyright.PENANA0v3nalULxF
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.530Please respect copyright.PENANAwt37IE8UAr
530Please respect copyright.PENANADi7eoSrsFn
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"530Please respect copyright.PENANAQS3AQqQp3L
530Please respect copyright.PENANA3epeOeu9dX
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANA5w2KZR7Vv1
530Please respect copyright.PENANA79GFY4lVj9
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAvxguiTj9qM
530Please respect copyright.PENANAHRyViTXb5h
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANAQtfXTDYZZ0
530Please respect copyright.PENANAVZJjT2yfP9
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAzKW8EDhaLs
530Please respect copyright.PENANAcBLpyy9Pqg
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."530Please respect copyright.PENANAFgCMlmMiHq
530Please respect copyright.PENANANiETUhzc44
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."530Please respect copyright.PENANAuowjkdYltU
530Please respect copyright.PENANA3rrCCqLR9Y
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.530Please respect copyright.PENANA38juPkYEDE
530Please respect copyright.PENANAPgT7GG8ofl
"What is it?" Christine asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANAg6B4ea0K3b
530Please respect copyright.PENANA3P2hf36I9T
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.530Please respect copyright.PENANAYATlBJIMo6
530Please respect copyright.PENANA1sF1NFa27q
"He's here," I said.530Please respect copyright.PENANAbOsr8kHkzh
530Please respect copyright.PENANADTIeRcXmfs
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"530Please respect copyright.PENANAWm0KdHNPu4
530Please respect copyright.PENANAwLrZ8qEOT1
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.530Please respect copyright.PENANAF3HYZ56a78
530Please respect copyright.PENANAbkfBB0DCLt
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.530Please respect copyright.PENANAu9wGpn5r7c
530Please respect copyright.PENANAB2WENLstSG
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.530Please respect copyright.PENANAkb7pitzH6R
530Please respect copyright.PENANAMxSXB1rER0
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"530Please respect copyright.PENANA75LItUFtow
530Please respect copyright.PENANAbUtwWeTiNh
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.530Please respect copyright.PENANATVsfOdD0fo
530Please respect copyright.PENANA11gpVkKkvy
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."530Please respect copyright.PENANAiMq1ntYvc1
530Please respect copyright.PENANAsZb53cvzLt
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANAnSsNqmTn6m
530Please respect copyright.PENANA6sv6ETBeMr
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.530Please respect copyright.PENANAeJK9L3Pba9
530Please respect copyright.PENANAWBXkksu7VV
"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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAEh2rF7kTQU
530Please respect copyright.PENANA42Z9r78Qmb
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.530Please respect copyright.PENANASAVtMDHcMZ
530Please respect copyright.PENANA7Pil8UcSYw
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.530Please respect copyright.PENANAG1BvaTkWYb
530Please respect copyright.PENANArjTixpkgJO
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."530Please respect copyright.PENANA6OcIkQHabh
530Please respect copyright.PENANAu0J1zAYBv1
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAbrxCQJJfF3
530Please respect copyright.PENANAtKuVwQIAY8
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANA5rlipINGOv
530Please respect copyright.PENANATOqufNHHml
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.530Please respect copyright.PENANAsdB5FLDm5c
530Please respect copyright.PENANAh9kiHsUHzD
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.530Please respect copyright.PENANAM8yxgzAxW7
530Please respect copyright.PENANACkrqgnNepp
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"530Please respect copyright.PENANAoyYGZcTiIi
530Please respect copyright.PENANAYbnGruNC74
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.530Please respect copyright.PENANASF8M6b36dx
530Please respect copyright.PENANA2jdGiXuIMA
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."530Please respect copyright.PENANA0V3IHOtWDj
530Please respect copyright.PENANAyutVCov61N
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."530Please respect copyright.PENANATHe8qiavC4
530Please respect copyright.PENANA06QGvvQ0UJ
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANAtyIq72eDn5
530Please respect copyright.PENANAYfQIfKj5el
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."530Please respect copyright.PENANAxUIEeMBEgt
530Please respect copyright.PENANAQqLdMg630K
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.530Please respect copyright.PENANA4KTMtpdYoR
530Please respect copyright.PENANAdbQotyQ62j
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.530Please respect copyright.PENANANFl14qwVan
530Please respect copyright.PENANA9aqQvYhsg4
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....530Please respect copyright.PENANAy14HyWTxx9
530Please respect copyright.PENANAyVflHgTOTE
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."530Please respect copyright.PENANAkf26xD1aqz
530Please respect copyright.PENANApg0QVol0yX
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"530Please respect copyright.PENANA00GLQaB1qt
530Please respect copyright.PENANAYkb3mhKVZk
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAOLA7urdFUk
530Please respect copyright.PENANA7SyHHE7xFM
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."530Please respect copyright.PENANAorbYJjJcso
530Please respect copyright.PENANAz3tVYKaL4d
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.530Please respect copyright.PENANAISTYiTVjD8
530Please respect copyright.PENANAGhKZh2YOSg
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANAcWG1Ci4Fk6
530Please respect copyright.PENANA6Nd6j3TDrs
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."530Please respect copyright.PENANAdcnnoRy22g
530Please respect copyright.PENANAl4b2VeERSi
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANAkfVq1EtOcY
530Please respect copyright.PENANAnenFzLAqOq
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAaH0Bfgjkfd
530Please respect copyright.PENANAzWwNXtRm9B
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"530Please respect copyright.PENANAupvXojWGAG
530Please respect copyright.PENANAO8ODg0Z5Uv
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAgtoEmHESaI
530Please respect copyright.PENANAQV4PH8AWGH
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.530Please respect copyright.PENANAyOhW6z6bl4
530Please respect copyright.PENANALSybruxHkv
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."530Please respect copyright.PENANAgYgNTn4Lt1
530Please respect copyright.PENANAKB6HZvWZIq
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.530Please respect copyright.PENANAu21uzKILml
530Please respect copyright.PENANAjwoQxcFT1D
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANAYkY7amtA3j
530Please respect copyright.PENANAx1NmyI6gCQ
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.530Please respect copyright.PENANAeijB57FdWn
530Please respect copyright.PENANAieXajUcCJe
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.530Please respect copyright.PENANAtzivYJCMzg
530Please respect copyright.PENANAFXUKpPSlP0
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAWFfgJdgJuB
530Please respect copyright.PENANAjiRXeJ8lLQ
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAP8ifoPMoot
530Please respect copyright.PENANAzEJCb0ZX7t
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.530Please respect copyright.PENANA6fwDwisgpY
530Please respect copyright.PENANAW4pjFzlLV9
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."530Please respect copyright.PENANAG2ZhxFsox5
530Please respect copyright.PENANA1uJnEgp6Zz
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAGrZqlWpzJi
530Please respect copyright.PENANAhwC773p73K
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAX6QBqFbDcJ
530Please respect copyright.PENANAcW2Eavyiyx
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.530Please respect copyright.PENANAQKwgf9K5r5
530Please respect copyright.PENANA3LF7k6MIkl
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAwtnRGb7yDQ
530Please respect copyright.PENANAFxzFUFNqHr
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."530Please respect copyright.PENANAToIn9uDTHe
530Please respect copyright.PENANA48CfnkWJbG
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"530Please respect copyright.PENANAU3ZTWOYtu0
530Please respect copyright.PENANApJ5PhJErJr
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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAkpMbg4Xfki
530Please respect copyright.PENANA55GDFersON
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."530Please respect copyright.PENANAvfIR4EWGqF
530Please respect copyright.PENANAsI91tNvYbK
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..."530Please respect copyright.PENANAB7hoxSklcF
530Please respect copyright.PENANAVFgL95YbVE
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"530Please respect copyright.PENANA37y8d2X5ZN
530Please respect copyright.PENANAnf6XRl9pVc
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.530Please respect copyright.PENANAjxJEzJg8CP
530Please respect copyright.PENANA0R54RCUbW4
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.530Please respect copyright.PENANAylgL2n7xkx
530Please respect copyright.PENANA40cMNJHSEl
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.530Please respect copyright.PENANARWByiWVxMm
530Please respect copyright.PENANAvJrqg5PsUQ
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.530Please respect copyright.PENANAmvqqZzmIq8
530Please respect copyright.PENANAdsa8ATjqde
"I can't believe it" she said.530Please respect copyright.PENANAssL0A3dxGh
530Please respect copyright.PENANAUfIQDlAxfV
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.530Please respect copyright.PENANAXB7uZC416q
530Please respect copyright.PENANANjUwvZPkDv
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.530Please respect copyright.PENANAiyeVYKR91f
530Please respect copyright.PENANAEVkedeAy8d
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.530Please respect copyright.PENANAFFe04SbWex
530Please respect copyright.PENANAKbYo1VrGh8
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.530Please respect copyright.PENANATsA8hbdVqP
530Please respect copyright.PENANAUymziBNl3B
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAxxrQZ96pbM
530Please respect copyright.PENANApBQxdPQcwV
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAVKjDeoNA9t
530Please respect copyright.PENANAUDVHXusO0R
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:530Please respect copyright.PENANAEfoSN5ieYu
530Please respect copyright.PENANA75z4AHhYE0
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.530Please respect copyright.PENANAYTLaG0pH4q
530Please respect copyright.PENANAOZkwqI1Y5x
"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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAniZzalKD9q
530Please respect copyright.PENANAWuUyq2JJGd
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANASzhkytuaP4
530Please respect copyright.PENANAJpn4qpDmrA
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."530Please respect copyright.PENANAhHvhRCADCa
530Please respect copyright.PENANAtyW8k1cfTv
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.530Please respect copyright.PENANA4ducxNoEPe
530Please respect copyright.PENANAPaf1gWo08j
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.530Please respect copyright.PENANAFszA7PJps3
530Please respect copyright.PENANA7BzNrYGlua
"He seems pretty cool."530Please respect copyright.PENANAKbuLA3M09u
530Please respect copyright.PENANAViNPcOgjEa
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.530Please respect copyright.PENANALyH48mfohL
530Please respect copyright.PENANACtyFeWhXFo
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANAoXEOHTOX18
530Please respect copyright.PENANAfMDWelK7xA
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."530Please respect copyright.PENANAMPdk1MQ4at
530Please respect copyright.PENANAQkEV8MGNA0
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.530Please respect copyright.PENANAJLXne9Z9Jo
530Please respect copyright.PENANARMys07u8mV
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."530Please respect copyright.PENANAtXzdS4h9FY
530Please respect copyright.PENANA5DpM8MgtUV
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANA4SN0aBniWP
530Please respect copyright.PENANAllbrCTXw5B
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.530Please respect copyright.PENANAD2i8IvEzdi
530Please respect copyright.PENANATwl1rknjD5
"This 'Johnny' thing?"530Please respect copyright.PENANATJ1PZVf04E
530Please respect copyright.PENANA7DX7zxHX2j
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.530Please respect copyright.PENANAsQWlqQcHOJ
530Please respect copyright.PENANAmWqbWOnu9I
"Why would we?" I asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANAoBQN5oyGE0
530Please respect copyright.PENANAKA5yVZ06Qo
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."530Please respect copyright.PENANAyvVjEMlz2O
530Please respect copyright.PENANAWsnSJ65kh4
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."530Please respect copyright.PENANAI43FqrGCrD
530Please respect copyright.PENANA0xJ30z4tDH
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."530Please respect copyright.PENANA0FaPPdXEt6
530Please respect copyright.PENANAVUhnDRTEyR
"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?"530Please respect copyright.PENANADK8DLKP9Xh
530Please respect copyright.PENANAFMBltWauew
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.530Please respect copyright.PENANAssnqdDsxUG
530Please respect copyright.PENANAsBVaVt8snI
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANAzDwVTJe46E
530Please respect copyright.PENANA5U208g7msE
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."530Please respect copyright.PENANAMS50mCsG0Z
530Please respect copyright.PENANA1eaLHakrAT
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAsGLvz799Ec
530Please respect copyright.PENANAHKKsJdH0h7
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.530Please respect copyright.PENANA4sPk10NaYd
530Please respect copyright.PENANAqH4R1sB50c
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."530Please respect copyright.PENANANLupwmRqoQ
530Please respect copyright.PENANAM16VOcMVSi
"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.530Please respect copyright.PENANA03dlpMoEGG
530Please respect copyright.PENANAwvI1inWE98
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.530Please respect copyright.PENANAZgW5cYbegp
530Please respect copyright.PENANAxCzZPHx4dB
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.530Please respect copyright.PENANA9NKF9arWRJ
530Please respect copyright.PENANAC7r88uAycb
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.530Please respect copyright.PENANA6bKl90nNC0
530Please respect copyright.PENANA7rhcn2tTCD
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.530Please respect copyright.PENANA0zZ9wP8Bfj
530Please respect copyright.PENANAlKkzdPSWA1
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."530Please respect copyright.PENANAripHqltFKM
530Please respect copyright.PENANACLtvZRRa5H
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.530Please respect copyright.PENANAt68SahvJwc
530Please respect copyright.PENANAMoo9LIGPKf
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.530Please respect copyright.PENANAFx8A5NwQwe
530Please respect copyright.PENANAvduce3zj2e
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANA2ScOnS89KE
530Please respect copyright.PENANA5AbD9zCMep
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."530Please respect copyright.PENANAntzVU3LW4l
530Please respect copyright.PENANALQR8KntQOY
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"530Please respect copyright.PENANAphUKppGTL8
530Please respect copyright.PENANA1jX0Hr9BiN
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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAWm5VK4HClS
530Please respect copyright.PENANAyTTwzJw48Z
"Really?"530Please respect copyright.PENANAWqKvXGKHTa
530Please respect copyright.PENANA8oj00oN90X
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"530Please respect copyright.PENANAwu0heUDISh
530Please respect copyright.PENANA5OgIVByY8K
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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAjCcm4C6fit
530Please respect copyright.PENANAJfY0SZCfl9
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."530Please respect copyright.PENANAh2CcDDdhny
530Please respect copyright.PENANAAHkBVMBnsO
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.530Please respect copyright.PENANAOwjikUQDk4
530Please respect copyright.PENANAWBD71gVTul
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."530Please respect copyright.PENANAbf34xOqEq5
530Please respect copyright.PENANAKQmU7P531S
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANA3bDOk8cAts
530Please respect copyright.PENANATozj60eR9W
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.530Please respect copyright.PENANAblUsM6Gi9U
530Please respect copyright.PENANAWrrC7SvFUA
"Ya, you too," I answered as I smiled back.530Please respect copyright.PENANA8yi4FEPyjb
530Please respect copyright.PENANAsKDYowFNUl
He turned and walked to the elevator. I stood there and watched him leave.530Please respect copyright.PENANAiXHExXenjv
530Please respect copyright.PENANAmT8dMlh06O
"Sam, get in here quick!" Zoey called out to me. "You have to see this!"530Please respect copyright.PENANApPZkdhDYTP
530Please respect copyright.PENANAxTxGXHzgQk
I quickly went back into the lounge and took my seat next to Lee.530Please respect copyright.PENANAPZxCeefdaM
530Please respect copyright.PENANA1f3MGQl4F2
"This better be worth the call," I said as I looked at Lee's tablet.530Please respect copyright.PENANAHHDqnwFfZ7
530Please respect copyright.PENANATvrqhX2J7h
"There was a dance video of Lisa and some girl," said Lee as she played the video for me.530Please respect copyright.PENANAmy7fNVZ7eL
530Please respect copyright.PENANA7pSUPtYrmT
I watched Lisa and the young lady danced to a popular K-Pop song. There were people around that watched and cheered.530Please respect copyright.PENANAFCFpwF4rt5
530Please respect copyright.PENANADeeMtZjTLx
"Well, that's cool," I said after the clip ended.530Please respect copyright.PENANANn4shY4xgN
530Please respect copyright.PENANACMnPPjeztu
"These guys had a really good time," said Mike.530Please respect copyright.PENANAkvPeWIzcdn
530Please respect copyright.PENANA41MOUgJ3R7
"Ya, but with someone you consider your enemy," said Lee.530Please respect copyright.PENANA2KfFALGMw6
530Please respect copyright.PENANACoDvn7EZcF
"Whatever," said Christine. "We're way past that. We just don't want any drama with him."530Please respect copyright.PENANAjk6EqkA2GJ
530Please respect copyright.PENANAcB4ek3HLVB
"That will be impossible since he got to hang out with G-Dragon, BlackPink and WINNER who happen to be your friends."530Please respect copyright.PENANAiAnMfxedHQ
530Please respect copyright.PENANAHqtnhQrMB5
"Ya, good point," said Daniel. "What do you think we should do?"530Please respect copyright.PENANAjePUXQdk9u
530Please respect copyright.PENANA2NDe8SZpdX
"Do we really have to do anything?" Christine asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANAghBA60Cagp
530Please respect copyright.PENANASk7RbbQXXk
"Don't tell me you want to think of something like a battle strategy?" Lee asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANAgflt8LDqyd
530Please respect copyright.PENANAYtEPn6NLgs
"Why should we?" I asked. "We have a song to work on, remember? Johnny should be the least of our problems."530Please respect copyright.PENANAQe14FrUDn6
530Please respect copyright.PENANAY3zXOzFXvZ
"Something tells me we are going to meet him sooner than we anticipated," said Zoey.530Please respect copyright.PENANAVfOjpIyAQq
530Please respect copyright.PENANAddOCRbDs4x
