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?840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uhHHCPFhz
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp04e4DGx2Z
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dv7doIRAj
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaWBIoJKmt
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5J1tMhLBR
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwNyrqyalL
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsWCU41s4U
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh1Bv9WYX2
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmEClz7QQk
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe8PCqgNar
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTXGEOShpz
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotP5CCRCLX
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SxWPYzv6A
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJM2gAC7WU
"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?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHCsFSzDB1
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1heUtBbXc2
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlOPwgeK0S
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4AIkoQzae
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxra1IJWEf
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl1nmIQ7Da
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87TrOhLsQw
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqmCCdJdor
"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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYy2UjyJHV
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5idoVzuvzW
"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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY140QTEsR
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmCBwcUSFB
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc2b7kaNAp
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf4q6Gz7aK
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUr3gdQsaT
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL5QR9VPxH
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fd6SnFfQY
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWIkpmZnjR
"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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsJPIviXqe
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv08iF6PBMi
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3rVuidwaR
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzYDPgSoBH
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR4JQkUjXy
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBiqhVrsb3
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdnnjt0OaP
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCatZ0gtdxO
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJJsWWKFLF
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPKcJrNGoQ
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyZ24Ic5eo
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7hTjg6K8L
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLhdfPwW3s
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86Xf8IQIOt
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbdvVaroGo
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqUXH7kibD
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e9DLyb76P
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7bx9cexox
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFFAhIVQPZ
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOYMtdTmFD
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP6vVMytKW
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJreaIrvIy6
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcNbNyDjf2
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDvdBsEgfV
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLeLIuovtn
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYPArdEJMI
"Sometimes I think you cheat."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeStEtUjUk
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw3xeZPIJk
"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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGdSLIMDcL
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzWjVnz6IQ
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxyoFkowCT
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA1Qm32yIQ
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXry2ar7EzF
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce37DcMtBy
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdgoLN8X5o
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNne6XTr4zi
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzDPKYmzB3
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu9aVHChhF
"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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv2by6J5K5
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYTlDhHFS1
"I better go give them a call, then."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEcnayTpDT
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx9lsl4doi
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDCeYhJ0j2
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAvgHuCHqt
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7EScLnhRD
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNMpY3QL71
"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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhZfdkZKC1
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAZYPjZw75
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIs7xTkuvF
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO3R3sY7gq
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswJUuCH4Hw
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4Loghgom1
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?840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT6XBhptM4
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU0u3JKL3c
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT7WhlsgGo
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV0aV9gWPP
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWUTZFIbLU
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYSKC3o3X4
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIVbfWf45B
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2sIH3YRe9
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmCZ3vkiQJ
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvNGAuRK40
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8eSbAAnlb
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXZCTzI7EL
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSdSTP6Q43
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCunwrrTeyo
"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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlUoahIkTU
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4aZDH7YgD
"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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZW3Xo7a1M
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzUDKBnkXD
"Ya, sure."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEeeNFlolk
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E7JBW7PRx
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSlYoWHux5
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrue3LU6ni
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi027c8nFf
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtLvODUdA6
"Anything?" Zoey asked.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGkKZuNJeh
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJALkgWHGtA
"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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhThIedd61J
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV9ogMjN80
"Okay, well, we can wait."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIfO4QSMlB
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH1zA8M3Z2
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IohYJ8ksu
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUamraAO7KM
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK66MvPRCbV
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdUc3YxLS3
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUShNBz1n3
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1iMD1kl8Q
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC6Rwm3Tao
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHH3S1XFEt
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHUj7EioO8
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBag5wImCr
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrmnXXsKtq
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXE5jbUTY4
"We can't work on the song without them."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsp9pPdAbi
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03lDtC46gx
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBKed8ecpC
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeybCGjWvm
"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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnAYucEJ8E
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0jL0lYj4M
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYKQQQiUdD
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYSxzdKMQG
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0xyHUCVZ1
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwP7GiPT5T
"Then get your guitar and notebook."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkoKQKluts
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2RlfR7qdI
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m91PBZDoJ
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C8g3i4iYH
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE3EK7S362
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP4ETQm63H
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Oc0FBKOKK
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOUj1hWrDH
"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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdeZfaPlBn
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VyicrJlLN
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL6dpjUTZD
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n9ozdnOy3
"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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2S7TsT4Mo
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23I2tPQ8ho
"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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEfr76GHnE
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AYOGdRYmk
"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?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArNFxw1oV4
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyibzS1E7l
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XlNFYt0Zd
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8l85h9DO9
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9vT5DFkPN
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5MdAVCuJc
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hh1cBRpB6
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsZbfHZnrg
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw296AER9fm
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvNFDQjJ8v
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmFwQAuzyS
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk74JppnF2C
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdGeuQEAIF
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtVkqynPIU
"Yes, really," I answered.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0IbZNNjvz
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG1uvyDulZ
"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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCyeAr82hO
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiI1WUIqhy
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkyshqW0N0
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcBJCtDD65
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ21eQm2v7
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLTQM13Ms6
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUobGpUNZF
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB68iIZLLY
"What went well?" Lee asked.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyxpy5Mfnr
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeJ7CPqoru
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW55j52nxkH
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAqEVKEVKJ
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sQUDjTF5I
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uLZLnupR7
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnweXYEdLl
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sQM8uySrh
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BzUgEs77T
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7CkFlrEXM
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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7f0vMHa8h
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O6KHGDMhj
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJc0z9Ctsg
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLeC79To6u
"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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf4tRdr76Y
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkENxwqbrNx
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6hTfepNXI
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuG5hY6yaY
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhkLqiDdcK
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHym4HmjP7
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mgeMWtlm6
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJRePPS9IY
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTdpAMqsbK
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHrKsi1FmA
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XPX2pRR2E
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLO1zXhShr
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZffqnDmHq
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgI32o1DNK
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQLdCydTzf
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRNhWSRd59
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT0VCZ9eht
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ru2F8iWqH
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZn2hJaDJ2
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPRo5C6PJI
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1Uzjl1dBC
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDHSWZR4Uc
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZzfBRsiS4
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF45fi51mPR
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5Uo0mBk9X
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lMbnNyF8S
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlXL1wT5yR
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggq8UAQJFN
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbjl6d0paE
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRGGQ5P09E
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sSojnyPUz
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q7ogQWif9
"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?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH64NJz3VX
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H2G9d33Cn
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAjm58sgzQ
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkoa1UnbZq
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12S795HUEM
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqa7bXNoJ6
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhwz2WmMRv
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrrMtDCkQk
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeylBHbDZR9
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYfmH1lhcQ
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrnpLPxcNs
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZechdddTFA
"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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3QMVusaAy
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzS5zU04Bd
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7WhLbGwjh
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7UBzX3qLY
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWeOmZjy6w
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6Ew3avqb8
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbQT2yw7Ox

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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79ECNoTl5x
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJKIm6Zyiw
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UT5Z7rpQB
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvfysdCvWO
"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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBuPLdHAMn
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT0m2zlz73
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu1t0ak1Ru
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0tKCuJJve
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfOWSDNtQa
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQun1Zxhfs
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8RVRVg5Y6
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWn4Joly0S
"What is it?" Christine asked.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt9ZilQO2O
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoFZcSIQYQ
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDHCYorBIv
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPNlMmhBIZ
"He's here," I said.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkwURnnHja
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJHLZwmEN7
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofj5FnDMEs
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkRnbR9tIs
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5XeSfP9Kc
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUzA5xDHa0
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPHyFB0lPF
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVJi2dnFyq
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qpACL0tsZ
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiuKxFmpbh
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAxXL59CAm
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8tZKsZRKE
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgswZQxsCJl
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4STgl1wUCA
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdtvIhdwbO
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYtdhEGLeU
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80V6WJcv1E
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7KOiRYDXZ
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzocMQAsfPH
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa79R3bhpk
"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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3y6xIJT9m
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV386RyR5GI
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3NvcLx4El
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57wBiBfpss
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJWmCMZg1B
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvYAKwlo8A
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ckKvOxMkd
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1tKDNdxEX
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lNALJN07E
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW82tVPZE0
"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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd7CaQW29c
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaWTN4cKqC
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCchnA2Wvw
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1D3iTcL5B
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUMS82nQYc
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBidv97Nyl
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNCPnWg76n
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79cNeGTXcN
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuhlb3D3YD
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaOxNYCJXD
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjknicOXOY
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTvq4WQpx7
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdqU1mZYmo
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBZi8WdmaP
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebNyCOoL6R
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLItmiHiE5l
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6wywRgFX4
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2FYUKPwsc
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHXUuH6eYe
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkJhR7HQGT
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINeIId8WIT
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRAcIBa5CL
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....840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AeUlOhnVH
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQAX2WXXqt
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Oqirzpm7X
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q9ElCae4s
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqvoBoWF0Z
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ8LKwFbdM
"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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfcVilyxde
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MsCrohFCp
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqAK7vNqq5
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC8e0kJ5Yj
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9liN2lwj7
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavOJR7YvOa
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7iCLn52Tj
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbBR5hhYI8
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEGuQlaMj0
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TZDN4Aikf
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEV6AM8JNo
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYoylS4YgH
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZVY7R2APl
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFlnhvE0oU
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNFJYq4Mqt
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMcOgod10M
"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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRFZukndYs
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7oKj3x0sg
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvD2unFZJn
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgxjXdiVG8
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpS6gLDh5e
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO2c6OH7Ma
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90q8AZWWJa
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTRqQudGmS
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3vutsHeS5
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2sJinkL19
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbg8klNjPA
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9UiEdsvVw
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCHcFTz51N
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPitulzWk3w
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28xyHrrUuh
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jrI16O3Zk
"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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvmvMKVOqx
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3RPROQro3
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmRVKBdCDm
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrRP2ODGRy
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEWO6cK4Vn
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVprIE9ewQ
"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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbm2xRYLOE
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx16TyxU4e
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tr4bNUFZG
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluU6LsnCN5
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhIssy9zDL
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRnlUduHVX
"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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzckGv9mRod
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlxmG9YErF
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjzp6QaZs0
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2qvZXtA9m
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cdBFGOGdb
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrwHf3wItj
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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z6M0I3oL0
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m0QYiZkWh
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtCxgjSDm2
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHeTBDx9Az
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..."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFqCCgUagZ
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe1oDjNnEM
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB8jXUfgvI
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9wlGLgech
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHq0dHjAwT
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozz7iKYyTL
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkXrBMmdCe
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDskD2PJIi
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bqVjnBZ3f
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsi0pbk69v
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxLZgQuIUn
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAzYKowywp
"I can't believe it" she said.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wHBiK8KxH
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GmoZYC4iw
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAZrdreYhq
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspmJS5qryc
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx6npP9o36
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU7sYewkv3
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc351j1pHjN
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2HuwqId42
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2evQmWm80
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR4D6xM0gs
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDueIeB8iD
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEOzBsv9Gw
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgoSKdJOPY
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28uG0O6OEi
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:840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc3QdmC89t
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94JUqVPO2v
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zsmEp81lJ
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfstQ9ug2KR
"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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnbLjjwItZ
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qq0jjLLVd
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJGcQKo2EV
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp6UvxWcXJ
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06RkWZEMIM
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfigLHTQ1m
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY6A2pK5WN
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmvZ3XfHmr
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UzP7VtajE
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8qd1627XE
"He seems pretty cool."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBVvHCOH6c
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBxXEh2jyC
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhecohbeUJW
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUaBeQOysA
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHeF0L438F
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWUSf7mcks
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1qqCDaxNn
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Cho43h5ry
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOP0llWSqn
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuOISfXMuM
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsOKv1FTjk
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jnWdTx7yj
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfNt77xR9r
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbqORSlSff
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAgIgSBM6m
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMezZjczCff
"This 'Johnny' thing?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix7QWHMX1P
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxf66u17ld
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVOoRxYkVg
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGvaU8SmJK
"Why would we?" I asked.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpSQeL3pI3
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXEEO6Dg5O
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeElvEoqKBO
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwaqDgykdK
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxKWJthJQD
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOkE9JW00s
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPniSnnk79h
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO3Lu5H8nv
"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?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNbVo0Gww7
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDunI6q564D
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBnEpPlqvF
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gP4qSa96S
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFkp0lpKDb
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMTcAV69Sy
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7GDxfcLpi
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6FwNc37Ml
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUGS1EAGQU
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAtl5VPqbM
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFMCCmGHYg
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYyBRnHu2R
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W4zfLUBng
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo1m5I5NC1
"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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBZhpC7lA6
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWHzOj5Gos
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ5VVN8iTm
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcUmbX2E7G
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET47C4LPPY
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdlggR37QU
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd40FoTVzJz
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5YWk0ESCV
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPJM255SvU
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOBe3OFQ56
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0vi9nfj9U
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWD3kbVjVE
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NSI2Hlzc3
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWgXj8UKoM
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5JtR0w7Hm
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1TIDDIF3C
"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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzpjFR6WPs
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAysl8fLCdA
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuQIldIir6
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQlXPCVlXM
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNNCaX2VHA
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObhgSPkvuY
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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoFIvCZxi7
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCUXxPDWpX
"Really?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBF7biZKmv
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPJgzrBWtf
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh9UCRhEmD
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUt1d71ncG
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."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqxB2R2Q7O
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJGpQFPHl7
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVhXCHbQFb
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1etiytDmeD
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyZP6M4B9P
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKcHPgAsMs
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybcUFEYbFg
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZaE04dyju
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MQvdTLGw0
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiSllsEKd6
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWBxsdw9Ld
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrmFu1Cspa

For a moment, we didn't say a thing as Lee stood up from the couch, taking the tablet with her back to the dining table. The others who stood went to take their seats. For a moment, some of us sat, slumped on the couch.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDHLDd7cDw

"Aren't you guys going to continue working on the song?" Lee asked at the dining area. We had been quiet for what felt like forever.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJO9CcEBdi

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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvdSeqr6pu
