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?885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRA60aogqe
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDzw2foBWK
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFVj5txZzK
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5cxNENALs
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhMaGXj2SS
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYM8dLBDJi
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPHUeulj00
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiSqd9jHJa
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnysZLv504y
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWyJaIIkIW
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae75CkERZa
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMLa5m1HZr
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo3tud68lS
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQMnZ3b7rA
"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?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3h7KvOF0v
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoBdMqnrpw
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4Av37cqip
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHmFn9AjoH
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmu12BqHbf
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfQfS1Q71d
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41LrWsVIP1
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEQS5FLWIq
"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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMvwYxiayr
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q6M67rhmQ
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuNiWdpMaN
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYxthADfVn
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIqYJ9Lzjl
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO830Z7lJ8Z
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTFGomLUpb
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ofvZ8KCKQ
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tgmj1mJje
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf5tDaohmg
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhdoqLbcpR
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYplMdJoqs9
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFfsUpMsdd
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMz0cX6b8m
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiN4DN2Rpb
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmV7giBqK1
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX9QqINmwI
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vbCFXotnv
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WLsovpTuG
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBnO3gIrTV
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA11dWSfH9Z
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLMHo5J35i
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bH1mItaXH
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsM6eBATBH
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV4DK041mK
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBKuTgtFTN
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw2P15YhvR
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHyMLDKG79
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2ksAbMQkz
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiSBIIzpyG
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5mjiYHSRU
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXS7ZTLW7g
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDOwLofyAT
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYGdIYKVFD
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX7TsJIbQ0
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JFmapdj19
"Sometimes I think you cheat."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiIybaTAN8
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3vBGN2SZg
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZEYRWvMJU
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIuHPfQ9yc
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS637JuKUx
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxAnjy5Oik
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lXZU5qn3N
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8xeSaUrvZ
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMlznPGbLI
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZDccvcBJA
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEJ4tzxQQM
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23y0QJyxk3
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T3FNkmA1G
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kXlmLI5tJ
"I better go give them a call, then."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm5AKJdPQq
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYcVfR2Ozb
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYvPkBnqdj
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP8zmW9AZ4
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfQKl1mqML
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQwDOe2KZS
"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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb9O7ya0ns
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuUa8xy5FQ
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGLlBnuTjL
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoOOZp2fKv
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqyG9Mfgzi
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNvdJx6rIA
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?885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJK8HDxlvS
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr95KGqd9t
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb93V2TXa2K
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIEf9KvXBr
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxys9m4DJB
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLm3Q4GQ28
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcs7jpYWkG
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaU9EVo9Fp
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc9sA9dolJ
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7ovq3iZB0
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaQ99iJD0y
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3WEUDysJh
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xU0pbqR73
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ8fJYbXkx
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE77oPCfjgF
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5CjsKSlnJ
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF9ap0JX3c
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTSypJCGOD
"Ya, sure."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpOJeLS0tN
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDLv2QfuyR
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt9sxj8ZI1
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCEKVjA4v7
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHdLxDcnJ1
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv1RSW4vdz
"Anything?" Zoey asked.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZdssufFUr
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaHu8UuGRo
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLkYS3SqK1
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5E7R0w7J2
"Okay, well, we can wait."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ6g4ArLAQ
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLjvHj9bk6
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJKb0PNpmV
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhagPz0E88
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOXNUYvwb7
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G4qKNmzuA
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULudYrPW7L
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXSQUrSvnL
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5r4EvknJE
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7V8vm6SqF
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKDc2EFURs
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDLeyZBZbG
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6DZnA5dSv
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWp1bhhR3h
"We can't work on the song without them."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbaK0gF0Sh
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsxrbkFy2w
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB89ssyMZF
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ABKz5SK3t
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHn3Ur2ipf
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcw2eleIy6
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah43qWCxpm
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLfosCBYqI
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnicgSXU7xu
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcLW4W15s2
"Then get your guitar and notebook."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqksDbnDuTA
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39rlpfzp7d
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv6E719QU5
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwHsyuLDRu
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2klsAcSxi
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPGLeGJoWu
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZapUhbR94
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDtjO5c42z
"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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoGtg0tR5v
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexbwdIIfVy
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrfisJF9Vz
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw0Br0pyuG
"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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIb4XkXdwd
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINcwpInYqi
"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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi5NvjQIrX
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V9hODUCwR
"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?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnaUKtMkHV
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla6WhOMeNW
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxDZPK7DQE
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6j5JCNGkw
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNBcjBdQRf
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeLYQ9vUuR
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5b2LUCfI3
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyGCUnzhEE
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb74RCWBbN
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v8iD445Je
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvKAWj2SnW
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqGVEIUOUs
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs83NuR46B2
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFAAA0PhdR
"Yes, really," I answered.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqQt0O7djl
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECI12tCrkZ
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjNNq8lVW3
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNQrv7I03s
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DI9zpo4wf
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0cL3hBp59
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHSA8x49NK
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyNznkgerK
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMWSiBkQMe
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQGuaEfxFl
"What went well?" Lee asked.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlcJBHxbeS
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfyy85EuxV
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsaagVMypp
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6c9y5JETO
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6LxK9HSAZ
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwLseUR9di
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dfHKTm4Ib
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXqdpTmHkT
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOixH4e4Mb
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVf3gEltFi
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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypzEhJBLr1
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1reD9xmZqt
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabSJyfhJ8O
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY47hsLB2M2
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqjDCQmxHI
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChvawnBelY
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxeTbgdy9J
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWsgTbqmW1
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI8XDihOvv
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQwFSBxTPF
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrlmtY5ypv
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qn9sK2ciq
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlVfWTvARw
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtef6YnA9Ub
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD13XdtR83U
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeFsBWTJdU
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFpXqO9Ztc
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlekPpuM1bl
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZPnsdWaEM
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEoibxsfWN
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwRL5NXXuF
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZPYMblmlt
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrrjJXb0oh
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAWc7DCFRo
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD8a6c0Qcg
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqEBCOIEB1
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV3ZIW5BOV
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlArIvIqGSP
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUBQzDBzBA
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlnQyjwzJk
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEZbBHUSC1
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV5sOfPXGG
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1gczbXHvs
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkdjAjwYPy
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrEqzpbfdV
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe62Ibtxybq
"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?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCC4DoTTfE
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnEHjU3Y0e
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7PWygPmXr
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjSMjJnPip
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzBhAz3mGz
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDtJesqLAQ
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59oetHPbtq
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CgS2YyCcw
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7EFA7OFZG
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUtlM3urWB
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1sXNBU11x
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAloPenGFzj
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJqFLWVAT4
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTjUQ0Gp6u
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZqznjsEfh
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6yx0wwdL4
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISwkaqtYCI
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlXDKNhphi
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFO6bc9bSk

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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG2dktoyof
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4kROzoxaj
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i4MVWNVxI
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpKwxrvUQ7
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTCITfKfXM
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0me0bMU8N
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsJwIlvl8e
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kDWheIJoq
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtsqbWW3IF
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VSHpjGWdr
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bhCIivUM8
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKlxjgXJa8
"What is it?" Christine asked.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aQI2Q4f95
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8OOGhB8pA
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4iuxAAOh0
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM9W3ZIvft
"He's here," I said.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAhdHoZ2Jh
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR06mrvKQGT
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQc5leW8LR
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYIQzviyCP
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXO3GzGbhL
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDg3YIkuX5
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLOPj4r6pQ
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu7ZuRc3Kx
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRgUiOtrW9
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDwYdr5zbP
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx2Xll5Zau
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YYrydqklN
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5K8iEL1gM
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwAe4QenUA
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkigspaqrU
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRV5G4pojd
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipABs6zKWi
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmShNIyWZ7
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9xJ9TOPlX
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnzkVUuEFh
"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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm0DY8RUoa
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1EtaYC8eT
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrj70J3hzH
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5tPeeprnw
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYmlX6mxo0
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPp2E5VbP3
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYIJlQ2WQh
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60PfKez7rj
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvc9mp6CTI
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfUD6IiEnz
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1ie1fWyDB
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW19jjgYY8
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVZi6Dsosm
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1HkzZ4veh
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaY0HEHBzz
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zUHfKcpuv
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMOy33q5hR
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6WHG1mPfg
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsVW0d8QzE
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1tJ1n0BGM
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB51jHAFDb
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfs7Vc7IEo
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOj4CYpYZP
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xl97PMSc5
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZeHCN4qEQ
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQpc1ByYVO
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL1ZOjn1FH
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS1KqyA5tD
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzMkCgcc6s
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEn63UcY7Q
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCemGkESei3
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1qW1EcswP
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....885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf8cBK3ddX
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGvopQqwCy
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU8sSBHdWf
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXU5Q7YjrR
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2Sh9zj4c1
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qHZ7wCaZg
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjbTvtnp6I
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT7BG42pUh
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYxqFrlDl0
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVkf6jiMb1
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdcGJaqjc5
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8FMND8cIs
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbWIf12382
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4AGYuC4hJ
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqlwFRzN80
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DnIT2Miza
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGYcfEDyz0
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7F1fuaBYi
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATV5NfHagu
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HEXsn9J8n
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbguHHUPAbH
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBNslqWQos
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdLM56x4ue
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIsf2e4BPU
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmKJPcHUMG
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWgLT18zTH
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdsvAqKFKU
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yQnJH1qVN
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEH8juE7VN
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ctokLn329
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNezbH4tMp
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB0PozuNKZ
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJW0DNeXwo
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7zqoibybm
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVFnYkkUsg
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHJVO0sdJP
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlCWyrTlzp
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ346mHKPxxf
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuR47D6Wcc
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF08CYWpT7K
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUX0OoqwCB
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEMWSqNYwY
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoCfcnTLiH
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdsZbGn7Yt
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePiGHYc4B4
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoofSq9D4yX
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCasjV7tXF
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcyMjM7Z5E
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnm22nAk94
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzRDzvrS6g
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XjVwr05m1
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YkDE3nqRI
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPNUYOb8pj
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFxD33sn2t
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDzHcWx7q8
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE0V2umG6S
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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo45piiLuAI
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbqDuIuHdC
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkinN3rXqfW
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6qLyjOvrv
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..."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDOPwTgj5q
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXblWpus9U4
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9T4YyevXz
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuoypYVS9c
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBihPq8Rw64
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYRf9hhLcD
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGIRtSM0DQ
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdK6MC8gBs
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v3mP8zl5E
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp0Z1fSApi
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcN3vG9jMr
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnwQppGA69
"I can't believe it" she said.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZOmOfGiww
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgXuRigh43
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKvsFjLkXl
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ODMGmJWqT
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeZNz79j52
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSWjWHVmy0
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzz43yFlwT
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cZbrQuhQp
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu5P7bTVZX
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKpm8LU7LR
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKqn6CzqO4
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YPlx2S5ww
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICVs8j98Xv
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaFAOpgGXE
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:885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcSKPoto3L
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv73uhIDHUo
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhD3Abk8LE
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7HXDZaDdP
"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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ09DRnBm1c
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJpnSHgYZY
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTgCOwFzjY
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyDRNpq2Sc
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfHH3LH5Mt
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IYF5qL7p4
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJg0OvRWOk
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWRNLa9G0M
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxh2zzcoxV
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqN2yjZJNp
"He seems pretty cool."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5prlYBzklA
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2wl7CH4nr
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGECelczkB
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGtcXQPyey
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup0kMVBklw
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6BnNJcW63
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzjw1ti1ft
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdMQVR5Czw
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KHKUGJj4O
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7ItPOEDOY
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhC9YgFYgz
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceeHDVY26r
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO7y59lHFZ
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8o48WgSye
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCDRu7bHWf
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGmmrtVXe2
"This 'Johnny' thing?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJl9gl6eqa
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUnzETQWrT
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KdZXa0oPQ
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuchk0pvvab
"Why would we?" I asked.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdv8LNo73N
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFucM8qx8u1
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG1iiMQRUq
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqSLNBFXbd
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj2mz5efwS
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjpfsSadiQ
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjwTzo7KMT
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkAbPlCKET
"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?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLzEk9zvnq
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNMG8a6XRO
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWp5pVIlp7
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtDPA2bhf6
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpzTbfd2NP
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirEnKLV2NM
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa66z7ngwmq
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3Zod47L27
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfAvBO3p9z
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIT08xox1y
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LZIhzdTQH
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhneKd3Jz1v
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPybb6mjjg
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXXLjj5B1S
"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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHiPx3ceVF
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIw0dUrTPQ
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KKyAsE5Fp
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kLgNtYan1
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMEvXYGebj
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33eUA3XHPL
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q5pyfyWAR
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShlYgEbLQP
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7CsoC3hQl
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseyYi0vFXc
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6LodWzLra
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn8HfonanM
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk76NNHME0
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFR3BUfYf5
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1fmtVPHAb
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvlb5K5INE
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRJrq96E8p
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsjAPytTlY
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewmOWWytTG
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzvlWkquBP
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dTrahp9lz
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgBgZQE9vm
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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr90NRLmfe
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfcCA6N8Pj
"Really?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPAF3BHB4i
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnyadFqx7Z
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2gFNjm467
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pgov4Gi5D
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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pv023S7iv
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTNR2cH48H
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl2ljrbjlg
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSDzBz1AX9
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2VNZF7qhr
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fJXm8CNbh
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbfjWOBOOy
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIj1qzWrGg
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYRPHcT3QV
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMUy4Lm5TQ
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTLMVPuyCu
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEPVXwca0p

The five of us all looked at each other. It was surprising we wanted something sweet to boost our spirits. We needed some fresh air too. We all turned to look at Lee who sighed. She needed a doughnut too.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ru7kbp09q
