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?844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioavqAbwTv
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1pgedq7Fv
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ayixPpGzi
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkut7kLGbu
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2L89f95SI
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgsjSA6vHv
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnE1lN1BZc
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvXUUv1SLz
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hIc5zyOSX
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXWwMBk6D5
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s4QVEeu9f
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9C8HCLg1U
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC11f8WxjlE
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXyAsv2ByX
"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?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvnd6bsgFD
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3aTKOJPY2
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd6OhmZuhM
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCnUr4ExfC
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjBBbdrQXs
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBXArYcaVa
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2ydDdDvts
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrxo3m5uGa
"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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtBBuzyDnn
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiDZrMzD7l
"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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8a1aDF7J8
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax6kmxwIRc
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTUDd4eZNn
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnuVR87kj4
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP6Im5Z08g
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMjjJ07VTx
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8BXGty5da
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv35hHFY5a
"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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguCQH9oSRt
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHJnO8ZqSx
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MtT2UQm1E
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r8lSXjJCK
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k8eOXluLi
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3GHOq0RNa
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KZoztv9ho
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE6AN8q53n
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTUIIyqmlS
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6Vuj4uqAY
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfta0ORjTcp
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn1QfBUhCG
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nVMF6zHCt
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwiFiOC7wG
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZUIOYrLEf
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPCqaSZxx3
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4ZliUfBGz
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeABmPkAqHv
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nPuISdWoN
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAuU6Z6T6E
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwuKLVmKVB
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaZjY2eZoR
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVpj8dhwaF
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8PMNewDfy
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjWdCGn5Ae
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvWU4ZG3GA
"Sometimes I think you cheat."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMNUZHZ52X
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyYxIUNpY7
"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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFp1WqfFhk
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L6peltFB2
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEui7KKVe3
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUxxPOPDrb
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZxLqxucNm
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC1fDjeKz1
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WiqMZSrOg
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMobmuV7ryI
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡperjs5sREd
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU9VDzrFfY
"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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3l5J6wkV8
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6hR2GSWMm
"I better go give them a call, then."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ATabzI0iw
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3sJiHyAWN
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tnGOqNiiX
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3yjViyXa9
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMDOpj9lQK
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZT7PAX4HE
"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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZTQuBk4RJ
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDOYEuziUK
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYaCV3Dx6R
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXgBBY8adK
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoKGLOzqqK
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPjuRylX3p
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?844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKi87Jux6N
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NooaxiYfd
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZwp84GMYf
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXKDNLGCR2
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJevIzGJPF
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexA8Pz3l5a
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG14KmazAx
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUv5RhaSBu
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw9MDHAvTf
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrFstxFsiX
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1s9lhVNZJ
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStFWW3fWHg
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L2AdSwmjd
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yiBT12xcZ
"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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICUNPB5YGM
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTambgr4z5z
"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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA97DgQvKDC
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRF5og0wgG
"Ya, sure."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dSpjxG16d
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeypoHYrAY
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMiCat4LAR
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaclyVXqx7
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIkKoHFd6n
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG69hNwJlE2
"Anything?" Zoey asked.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBI6D6ge3W
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZQydbufVt
"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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIq86IBaK8
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNYtMDoTsC
"Okay, well, we can wait."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ROCd7Epkj
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYNK5NVntW
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq7egJx1nu
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwJ9gDoAK8
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9srpsBU1ru
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggIU9LT0NE
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGhaCHeI7E
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooo27J3uNL
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw10iyxo4R
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ399vm6tPRX
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a41MfLGB6
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIGXrbaNSE
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvhxBXZ2lt
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9GyxaWlxg
"We can't work on the song without them."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbfLM5Wzve
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0LtHmGHOG
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohP6BDrfGH
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZJ463vuFF
"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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHw4tblMcm
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVWHFzUaLe
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnL7lW6pWw
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV00NDScvI
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAr9PvuXHy
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2uVS0MO9P
"Then get your guitar and notebook."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWrftmPD4c
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhRJjhQdzM
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzHeGYBZwk
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPY7woxwuk
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vnPEZ6kGn
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRLywIxXjW
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YPoVCyCYs
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aUaODmxdL
"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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl90RsYAKrn
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzmJMi9dDZ
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqtI90gUVa
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrl1Vg7QHi
"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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQYJQhf9Ph
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLQZbso2CY
"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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZgPiOk4gU
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0CUA2haxJ
"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?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqBRU1tb2q
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0oVtlyq2I
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EsngkIfxb
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlq9LG1cP7
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn6Co1B03g
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7kmmv8TAI
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d3T74MesY
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtR8uyb3FS
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdtlbf9H7P
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISofL08VUM
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDUsk1PNlG
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPgoGds3n5
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0mBj6OKm8
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ286IoENpjv
"Yes, really," I answered.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl3oJrgUTy
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvwh5ZAPTT
"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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko0Que247U
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XegpHvyo6
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2WfaMK3ej
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nQpNRIyLD
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzXaur4MWr
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi3likqNC5
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZyGG2m8Gj
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxvO8N2qf5
"What went well?" Lee asked.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RP4jhfM6M
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OdhWYzaim
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mj83tcFSr
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJAj9zLJAX
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkTBQXqeM0
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO29hQbj64
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIzOSoWscs
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZBMXZ93af
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYHKJAeZNo
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhohKO8imF
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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2PajN0Qki
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2IZUUlNZb
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO69a7Zp1vv
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pF7kWQrbG
"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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VtuR9iq0j
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBUyZ9kPk9
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4X9I56Tfv
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQHS8kSZLx
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hHLIkmNH1
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDT7Ejv0Nf
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7Y8MhKCEW
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFeEOhf2mF
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdOlDzbyvi
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtvpGS8N9F
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdMY4qr3K5
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71cPx1XE3x
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDuosxds3Q
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRoc9MAMcu
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNjASB9GUF
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF6rgdXTLb
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP5bD3nPNs
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlJmKBDdKO
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4giBrglTkY
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4FWwJZZ77
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3GptMRYJP
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9CGNAOhDZ
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuCJsnJLYz
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2VExmBjfh
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZlKGgJZMC
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7EBzryE14
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2GzTpyyai
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblMWrCG3Nq
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklfw1Fl2MS
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0tRV9DAhq
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq3jG94wTi
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1iv4bYKSh
"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?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxaUuOxznn
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3WqG1oJKA
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SFlEDKCcn
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01MyBxGzlK
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqyRn1CDdO
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw1Gwigp9E
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLatd5qumr
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5DBlkS5RM
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZoz2X9p9N
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMQK4G0vvZ
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZsFqiLA5U
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwZE7Ull83
"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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kj8boL2xn
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgDKBwZ2or
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDCgnErMyQ
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsB58sN4YR
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTKXm3LftZ
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXlucOXWQc
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO6YbDHige

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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SflP6SYWS
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB0pZpFdxN
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O5UGwwSJh
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd308i90qK
"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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdldz5AKena
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sAkVm74hx
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayXNzfyWoz
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBAMv87ViL
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aZxCAzXGS
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7OpjaWyi4
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXTsHJkAq2
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcliWFaFbe
"What is it?" Christine asked.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq3Z4GScyu
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPlYvLoazq
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkvJI31cz7
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc4IZe1lWs
"He's here," I said.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlmP4mrvah
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhzOvb0tEb
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjj4IYMN0T
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotA1i8Q8NY
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbObl2SBswd
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OmstnWYXM
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuHRyLbJWm
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyufBBBcidf
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoglIYV9EYP
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS4cZFhs4G
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMlH1xTqkB
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpX45CS84r
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWttfXXaCXF
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjnzLQ98g4
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQLZisTbuk
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx1GCXcGR3
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yUvn8HbQD
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cdjKFUYY4
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6IwWMju0Z
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMLMFYhfv0
"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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6HXsYx7wn
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJrUzbpk9b
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S6msiK8ac
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdcROJoxs0
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx1ki8unjI
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4AIC8MiwI
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgxU0W8j03
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi9FyTAc1p
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEfJOiNh4v
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uGeiTk2uK
"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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fuyxpIBTE
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi92CVlIh0
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JzhfRnBiZ
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqBzqeAVkY
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCslKYXhAom
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUDH2JhEPY
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPNIimW5tz
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JI8dCNDGi
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUNPOX1wCI
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxd7WV13ch
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTJuFhKU6V
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3gZvvbsTP
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VlEPwJghs
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lCK5wDgXC
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5RO5qZ0p2
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA70apzr7a1
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP9bNTTuSt
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7C7CibmiQ
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaHLOvRbGo
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9yzik3VKY
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsNSKNHenh
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJYcREfqcJ
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....844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavexbIyAHd
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXz2FzxVfx
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuIohb0dc6
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZbC5MntT7
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7INy4JSJe1
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufQQLrrmTg
"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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEKm6i1ifA
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlPX88WD9n
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5RmZHJ8U6
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnZgK3a2gS
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1wSQFQ4yR
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwryUhh78l
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3tbi7HVku
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOxxv8XSzh
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FgRLons9F
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK7o2452wH
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybH9czFIGR
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGAjer301j
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPLIzdVt6S
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXU4hscjXU
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcopOH9Qw6h
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGYlAazJWU
"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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqqglqF7DL
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7gElqvNPs
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb8yn4SHUH
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8R8bmsIW8
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjIhVFzeBE
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOYshhr6RP
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85IZkDHObF
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzTpoEhI85
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz1a1R2Otj
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8KvGo2kgG
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K9QNRl8MA
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlriAuDZZoB
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCmuuezZC2
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1rqMFK1Oe
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jCY19nALR
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyA3hOdS8D
"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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVxVj9b9nA
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi55W5zXjNW
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeb0Zb5IyN
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RPvlitqvn
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVMx6UeSuV
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitKGax1Hwo
"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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd4XCoATIT
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNbpG9limR
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgfOmCfvqQ
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRWVOBxh6B
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWJSr5FGWC
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlh6Vj6iwK
"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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwpEodWdt5
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhIsVATwfa
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iedya5U6V
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjPXnbZ0CU
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyrAglIxGI
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX8BD0t7IW
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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVN9jdpSBM
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2fdIeGhTa
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx5drJiKHC
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pAeGjt9NT
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..."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26tgvlfrM5
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BI2yKl9sl
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEib8HV9m3
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfLzTFeisS
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPggo2Av6rv
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX76rrbxgD
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7KX08RT64
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSL8MpTnUa
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuYuLlbcpb
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtDTVpnjxF
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p35jDo2kA
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvpdgrUwQO
"I can't believe it" she said.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIyRUyCwu1
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZxAynYRRa
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBB8Yx8Ebi
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAeETfl1QI
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsmt8wcnRr
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhW1ZRmR7A
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxxLztl3LC
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9uA7GNoXA
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAclsWXTcPt
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7YBVSttHs
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQu1HQPZef
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo83bU9sK5
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFjJJusiyL
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyjPRXq8ly
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:844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0jwgeud7E
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioFLpTWBhO
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0BY8kUmGk
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvcqOlaOGV
"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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm0tWB8I3h
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJbkvht0vL
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0niSAbjK0
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGfxcOkdXq
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL64BA7WOWd
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupZRZhbiDa
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxatbsTdNL7
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIstFXtYwd9
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb6aQ43HHv
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0Zwbl8KOv
"He seems pretty cool."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGo98XPChG
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP2mVv2gWL
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfD4GEte5g
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB27796N3s
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6Xg3MDMBD
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJkJoG2N9p
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQRjv3NrzI
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZyasxqNF8
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyLQrZOgXJ
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvss85jQfAC
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6EB0ZRS36
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3rBMYg6gU
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPFcX7HaXI
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiV55oYOvo
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrT7t47ddF
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRiT34VyIt
"This 'Johnny' thing?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTWqiSyVFv
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzjK4wU9lD
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxk93c5Itm
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5aldC4w8i
"Why would we?" I asked.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDVXTZkfLX
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsENHEcQ8f
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTCBfCgCLb
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9v3VXDr7A
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cLJNIBzwU
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch7Pn3iDGP
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xPeDb9xCL
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKMaGjIj8O
"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?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZfFn49srN
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNrCGFvHkh
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9XaMklCb5
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK261Fq5jA
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwLXU2dTbu
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTcQwgPPzL
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUqq1HptS3
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdNkjFUqVn
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndGex7MQ51
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWxPh5td7W
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIfHgeTB7e
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwlJOgS4FU
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOekTLzp0j
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC9IJXQ0aw
"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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkQGoROMbW
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0jS4R74dW
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8t8o9xNko
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UctMu5yFS
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9SiqBq7Ea
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozC223qpuj
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpBDWwpH6S
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5w3shjdli
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnVZg9MeC4
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbLqhVF7my
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kGI3L0dc6
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5fU33LZiR
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5vuqPAzMo
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyDLDhekDh
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlLRV0VnhT
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvVoSASjWr
"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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkTT2pM8eB
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHbMpgt4l8
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzywWLCv6HG
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KccoZGmfo
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wNQOdJ6bL
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ofVDchmej
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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jX8PYxtoD
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWnoIna9jr
"Really?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1MHx2Dwkq
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2Ee3Kchys
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8G60a1xCb
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA05qr6fBM
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."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHincAtcGgh
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGx0TYSSne
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNDRXRN1sz
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPR5YzvRFS
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62fEdOkkly
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCdN7vM0lw
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbohmtkvzn9
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D3Rmvj3Aq
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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6mXm0W7iS
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj62mZRD8qb
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF79p2ecrs
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesq0lPOmIc

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.844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFumc6BR7P
