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?777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9DACE4mjP
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf6u1evAvq
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKOA69TR8J
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmy00PwxbA
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNWj0p5pXa
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrabBfofd30
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRxBQ0wXG8
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHpUyxSxb7
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGsww2cBrs
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsPqAnzesA
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaWhQ7xicj
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe4qWTMESl
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31iKOKf54G
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgnJGAfzv6
"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?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPpl4PSKFu
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwJxBA9o1I
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4RzK8gQlj
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEajZMh795
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjWnBOZwzE
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2XKwhVaF0
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCJ7M7V3mr
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD6AuCfjF1
"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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7Jb5u73yw
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Uv32HidaE
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9e0usTfNr
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDOOERISO3
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eYGCd9Qi5
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnhlG0yfnn
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybNu8TMELK
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIjQ6CmtCT
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7ont9CF09
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W8jdUO3hS
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tnqMhVu3y
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcQC281ikK
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzk6L0JFfU
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9797GoRYVo
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZddbgWrKP
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ddpc8qWxv
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes7jrvssVP
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdCEQqMM3c
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs7AutYD7Z
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e8VaFNgms
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP61iFZMhj
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDCzdHnVU8
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlGOwXEkBa
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk9JE7TvT8
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohaiMbJ5Ur
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIdwYRZP0H
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZXKU07anR
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzesgCItPCv
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEnG5QEZvh
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPookcUK16J
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdwCikvt8V
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbgIvpH3u9
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q28nb1JzT
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMaBI3LNZR
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jmJDLELxC
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K5pqC9efd
"Sometimes I think you cheat."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYciQOBMOku
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZtFieK3bN
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxQX8S5l8l
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E56yyNraD
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6UJL8Tqc4
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXnX2vpf9n
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrX4HFR8oG
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9vhYhJfPO
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvinWwNPgR
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPEcaFpYfB
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVZzhdQkFM
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlel4p94mgU
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT48HA8eTwk
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH5eI0ZwDk
"I better go give them a call, then."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueHBOB1dpn
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IHyMhogR6
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3GEj3YisD
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnGJvzfY4R
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64GBDDTxyK
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzdcyEeRXS
"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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03BKdYRpPn
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqMOE34JF6
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYN2yU2R2Q
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLjxqFw8bI
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw85NMMnkYr
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZDSvJ0XFc
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?777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJcH03eN68
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSgJtL42Nd
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP5GDJXzKS
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssxp5wfGkl
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OtyRdySiH
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl66Z5ftVgW
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRoM1kUHUk
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVvylRUVlc
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleBIXPaWKf
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEgxjwIkVh
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPOLT7nNEX
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipl4thVeNB
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvoEiibXuT
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZwpLnIAdg
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP4gIuedSQ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHS2zlYTCX
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFee43eeGM
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85QNdKkZnA
"Ya, sure."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kqO5XkWnH
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WQslcGg4o
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmSzMjYw9V
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZLWXaXRoq
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAnsZAV5uc
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG7M7IAS31
"Anything?" Zoey asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawcqsrjv1T
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohQ6R3EeDJ
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuqlKW6btJ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdEgQ6sBPW
"Okay, well, we can wait."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvpu2Mt575
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlGdvn3Ib8
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4wp7P01AV
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjNMSANNAl
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yD3e1utcg
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJRGdAtJsQ
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWi0wQuXbh
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOpb1jePaH
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKjeeqt8wx
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhbkaFKc1K
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YnOALl67k
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTerpy2DuO
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvJpL8Uer0
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEYSGDqNpw
"We can't work on the song without them."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpzNRRUwXS
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y5lw5Ay09
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8mN2K5Z4H
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOP0gGGH4D
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXRUTs9wGq
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCyca929BD
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7ckXqhx1S
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPOC2BDquv
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWdRkNrB5q
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAo6RAgnfo
"Then get your guitar and notebook."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3cuKPELi0
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5ICRfJxpW
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSK5yJ1kBa
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWieawdsP4c
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5bUh0IJQu
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQFuPGNJEm
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9dGYK5GgN
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8oFQP3RZj
"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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnPPy7GwJ7
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1eaSFNAp9
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrybDm7pZoD
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlA2ACK4J9
"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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OP3HAF9o7
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zkHxYyODJ
"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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFpjIsuXar
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCDcIbhsVx
"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?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPRx6oHILS
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWDWt4ZWvs
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMWihRVdEH
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcJRacQuRT
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF071kf7EKE
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyasUfh6dy
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zQdFCS3Hb
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcakV5hnYv
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHZ6G8xrOO
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqMEUNexr7
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t1VO57Vpp
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqserzi6nI
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw2Il9hbxk
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzGNoRsQoG
"Yes, really," I answered.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVw7zDSglt
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q72peJnld
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAYpKkRQQl
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5TQrlhhcn
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxK8uS5aLL
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oP7gRN1KV
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jkVji3fmM
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqoWwYsk4S
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU6Rlt47sa
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G9d8HR1Td
"What went well?" Lee asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL4nXomqBs
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeFEGyqi4m
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmVPF6Iark
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AWOm48I4R
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3mcG6DJE4
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh54ZsiGlXT
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgERWl39A1
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO8TEEFkqY
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB7bZSneZC
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaJSynsKls
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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPga0YPXKoF
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgSYrVMMkB
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaROCoDd9s
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwh0K78Q3J
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxUt0kXhQV
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqhgUyE0Ed
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMLmBgX4k1
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMDaZkgoz1
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0HzaFHoNS
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0XouXHBBB
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqd0GbenTi
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKu2GcIsq8
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJqLCJZKZ0
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAxbhCvY5N
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0gjmHMIxA
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYOA3NdF6P
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtpEwudfe2
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9c8TFRzEt
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvVTMux79Q
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i1bWMSuqr
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU5WY5Pnlf
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZi3F3Psb6
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCCRk1CXr4
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGIwq6Uykk
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBzAOhD70S
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXdU9gHW1K
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUdAJjEptX
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pQUVsZ5yb
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2jOmJiymk
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYJPk99dUe
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RwLDzPXWn
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihkMd3h5NK
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM6ZpJ7lHF
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtFNN01qIm
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB4veQfxsD
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJCFUuevlI
"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?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrM7AbseJx
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65JRYURrwB
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuGxxsbxoE
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG8XfBnuxW
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDafqyewmGY
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjI7jobowd
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWKqPscko6
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1Ntb0uuvz
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI1UZijL0V
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoAMEMaGoG
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pc0MGHtK7
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmChppP9vh4
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEEhkFCDWa
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3pekOf3sF
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDT3aDRbKe
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAD1gdHsPc
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSMbsARRAF
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtbgEYQE3p
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKafCWlMcn

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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaUUIT1L9m
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIbTB0CafX
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpWggmJ3AR
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS4dXebI5K
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpbUQAyu2W
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0MlnKncwY
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfInm3hv1RN
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU14Pg7WQDF
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJYnAamq4E
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtXj4kzSew
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9DFZSVimK
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYHxfQGUid
"What is it?" Christine asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUANsYLJqs7
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeJ9KCL7f0
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovagB7uqML
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUoppFbu3R
"He's here," I said.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBtGjm4mbG
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cSFboAy9f
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCvJjyc7a8
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzG68vF5ZH
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ4pEG11rY
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5k6BtNI6t
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ3N7kQGUQ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlza8vtBKS
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY179hTl35Q
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9agNrci0W
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhPVZe9N8m
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1pfvH5RKN
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzlsE5ijuv
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm3OLpU0wl
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdKwSTuuOm
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUnWAMoqSN
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySIfHMg5OB
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo1A6cEXvg
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluKISWjo0F
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BTNUrwUA1
"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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCls0RzXmf
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mnNArnAQj
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUNF9ZEuFO
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuVSQVhBTX
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygOcst7xab
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlLlerFW0E
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nFbtgppY4
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRely91DDds
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pufRwo7nh
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5ekb47lww
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHBBT3b99x
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ45GbwTq8
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcQJuE5ygI
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbelqsigYr
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF532xq1ss
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE58ykRAT6g
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP5r0SdxV4
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQEeVQDeSN
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKvDPEqf3B
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBvkViaXW7
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ9Tn3HF7Q
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTv0mPy11V
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQUmWsthZo
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4LXcfZnLU
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97aDbQUdAQ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVYy7dY87t
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsfGUlomGf
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dDepQBOb4
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUPoZGuvlp
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGDXFBeYNr
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H0HlcwDSo
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoMclymJMM
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....777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzxQumDYZU
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTON3isfJKb
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsXHilfTTC
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j5gafqNCN
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JKNKfW6LI
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT2IiyA3Qi
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ojvk75swO
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUV1KGDMjT
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpjq8wjxH0
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJeI7ALK0g
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss3up3AUkU
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKoMRqnQrq
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTzQ0853Db
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr2Wsua1oI
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkTTuBLGZ7
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HQSQJcpHU
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjyyPkxCsT
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp7fcUCqSK
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHhMgYcPr9
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewAbS4DvzD
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxApBN9U4T
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ADJeK8KJu
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTlaMAIxFe
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZpcyWrabc
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNveoRQU5BA
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL6pHN6R6a
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfmJTITHNN
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLlsl7q4Ja
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ioPUPFlzR
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dF70Lydil
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsHcB4lPss
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VjL8r33sm
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4anfl8ZXN
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNjEzKLTC4
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbJ3xoZtuZ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDgaHQa3j3
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0hVA3xEJt
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWTls2RTPQ
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZf0xK6P3p
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4LKH66RgN
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwroJ2IdAEy
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kEDR4M1Nj
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y4qgIGrCu
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhH85lzGpx
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPUOOtaqZp
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt2CahZp4w
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BFMN6pQM1
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYtiZswuQL
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cVIWWrlxy
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDZ2bvlELI
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN0YB3hK2d
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSpbuDnZ0n
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWtWYuzgLg
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFydvcd4nj
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrkOebvY4k
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGSXb7ErV4
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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytcB96SYnp
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvMzJFPCXT
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbivexu6WY
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlhHjlgGWD
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..."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8rnN5ag9N
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkedtxOpRNe
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ324Xsm7V5l
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShS8lBqtt0
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJMi5izeUO
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcKZLL3uDn
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5UilMXOtX
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT49sVfcfuo
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9W0nJzTME
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHa112K7EG
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjrEApQJOv
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxbDX3tR07
"I can't believe it" she said.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFibAXcnro
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaiqRodyfC
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1lB2c44aQ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDp6zAElUS
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6LTWcLMy2
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4WayfxewN
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZgYYbLK2Y
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq39TV9QMtl
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu317XTdwG
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv75RYjfqC7
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65OAapBnbd
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9irjcsXUk
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8DHn9O3dE
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TjPCvq5zz
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:777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTygFHPm3dn
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlrBnuztKC
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDpjFzJakI
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz7S0ioiUw
"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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5prIeUwyO
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGtYXUUMsZ
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFu0KvtQWm
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48TS0iA2Q4
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarGbLlB0Rj
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pSGDUZOj5
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkf6pvqtRZ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqroxoCkdd
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLHG7DSkKh
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsphYi3od1
"He seems pretty cool."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbdTdLVuEM
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJDlknbbvh
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe7lRo9PDq
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKbA3w2Nch
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aGS95Q2yQ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJfKEitN1H
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x9KMaz1I6
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8QtUYsL6J
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7brBsw01M
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DgsuyrarG
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsSXitwNHQ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrqAGCiBgK
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZEOVA0U68
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VxgW8hU6H
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE0axri0t5
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroee4DQFG8
"This 'Johnny' thing?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimFJnqOwzQ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHev2tSNJU
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC7feajBUh
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9D4GEUg78
"Why would we?" I asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF8zy23iEc
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOwlFBTmAQ
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TvWh9UWui
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIe69T1xma
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg2kAHlT7x
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc0fEskiDl
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevmJLyuC6o
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSBhJ7P7yD
"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?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi1pJONGh4
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRr8lKnPTA
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoxR0jroXs
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjmGN5O96k
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5yYw3ymY3
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXZtxKzOCl
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8ierBJFlV
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6giDgqiCZs
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWqfDwC9bG
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFaf5JPNOr
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnMLTAWail
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuAIXvcEkB
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QGJlfBAeY
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrruMFrbxQ
"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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumC7D5YjbE
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55p9e8UKKO
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM94KPJ0Rs
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI6gMztdwB
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJt1Hnca5D
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHRuIRJjAa
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzIUM3HS0I
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomDgi0belW
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYFISJfZQ1
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiyLoWi1Wn
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8YvtTMWTZ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBmFMqZYjL
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrJQ7OIgqY
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZfIVuhLjC
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUctQ53PTOW
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1flBBhhWH
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoED2qZLuWt
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbwAleuOXq
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCgsRDAC48
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYatedsOlOE
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWHpGnJ3WY
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvhmPTgYWu
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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7R9PE0lxZ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n3poDzqd9
"Really?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV5Z51DCnp
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt5GZ0CfPb
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqILhIMSBTo
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JuROKgoK5
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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaggKmY8g4n
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKABdWdbwA
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j3tK0A49o
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ02Qx8wKY
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuLQ6hR4It
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0mZWC1Qqx
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp8ZG1vNEx
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFWXIV5nht
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjhaM2YMCp
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjt22HKrd6
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe5X7mcevj
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr68iwJLJqR
