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?756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3Lcyc3OO5
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6UlLhXU2z
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRQZ0jwlW0
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCsPD7W0yV
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKHi1NJza2
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Iyie7IVFL
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4THZMtok5s
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAesSdi8SU
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDxYlfwVx7
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwoujaCpM9
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWLGtuh022
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOkzNp1nzb
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2bUwGa1jG
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHpHoqxFnx
"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?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvpOoMV8AZ
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwlLrsv4jt
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnl4xcuW2d
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBcMtj5Ec2
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtqbS4lUYt
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlwZa58vhl
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlcKU5Av3M
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjm8OEIioe
"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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFCG4Ov3Ux
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWHU2NfA2Q
"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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvLc2jIHPm
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF92uqxqa0d
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCOCO0eNdR
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDydoMJot9i
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp1JmZj75A
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg7SwAXuxl
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzoZkMRkgt
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM2D2Ecc7C
"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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb7yKQ7bUt
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD5JsPo3pp
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIcoTR0r9R
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bymUZmCr0
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoZ4VzsLP6
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiC1p5qr5X
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVPLygzBNu
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLsV1f2UJ5
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnlij6FZ5i
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxGceVRYV8
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIdy95ns2G
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx3XZFENYE
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ3VCijiA2
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSpRxiYNPh
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjqofH7oxr
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs9veqXOKm
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IDgNWdj9J
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMaBfdXMNJ
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI7GKAnKOC
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXS3ShqSvQ
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5Rk7jh11x
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlY7zt9Rgo
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0l3bmkTsS
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2IN7kYEtU
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdt7KkmIB3
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TwXxkJwIw
"Sometimes I think you cheat."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg773U9giV
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKSWEkLLTZ
"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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7QnYn6176
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfTIZkHq6e
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbMTxnDoWH
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsx6Dvm0RV
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrTKF8nle6
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKtFkHUqYI
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL6OazdFxt
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm9Fdfq6Gm
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RfNiAVKVk
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUnQ8tKZ5W
"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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mI3p0GJkP
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpGef2frNC
"I better go give them a call, then."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN6kdsI2vR
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx91YI42md1
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXzn1Eyvtw
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm77Nq3xAEW
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3Aqfqq5gZ
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSRT6e347u
"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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWvNYLXqes
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zyXjrtdBs
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL9m9E9HEz
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW5tLvPILZ
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWu3Ygys9E
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFIfnN0Q3c
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?756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0WWK5n2XI
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oRfY6quxo
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnU2Q04g7F
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwxEMb6tlJ
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11JNHvXQXt
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aUkO4yoKT
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom1JyWh7l9
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuw5m2MQYZ
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqQVzl6JJP
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3gGhqJIV7
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeXjTQGpm1
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanZBsmSX9T
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zhsEWk10t
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGsO0CLLDF
"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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGEKfrRA2M
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxBh1hFCEU
"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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bve08BpzX
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQyXoeyO8v
"Ya, sure."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RsZtECrOh
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosPMidBy3K
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6CjLH6tXQ
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImzENwDbCN
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EIymqiP6Q
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQWAdwy5lU
"Anything?" Zoey asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmWDXkZRXG
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYisLlzbIO
"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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhkxdcwZlo
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C2o89buH9
"Okay, well, we can wait."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIow9N4Ed7
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpInU5xM9q
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c0UQV5AaE
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7z0Jmt7DP
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmorFw0y5p
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nPEIQBVXz
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Er72WezFd
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97ocjtdZnO
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtKI5ts01S
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDHOwmPtSc
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwJG4Iy9Tt
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2J8DulCxP
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstleaGSZdT
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNiVkI1Mfl
"We can't work on the song without them."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL5mQ46YfO
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzilgd2QG4o
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzySa7RQJ5T
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQNQzIJehk
"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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdQzuC2Yoi
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8rOgyIoxM
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBb5RI3pMX
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uGSghr4Dd
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ9zFumFQI
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa54bvTafq
"Then get your guitar and notebook."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCrSE6rw68
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQeYyP0Qev
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0P6VH8367
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWvZlcF3jc
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC21gF17DML
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVGi0ppqRE
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHpz4Sz8od
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pmEnIeoVl
"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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66Wj7NJL1I
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxZ1ACZLlV
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamKg5drGHG
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F2ov2pMH5
"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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1haDrdtlW
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFiPGPUfjo
"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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2YiJgIYRC
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLH6xtJBgX
"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?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTFCiwpZSj
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeADhKVeUF
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULLq1OKxVL
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw27a3bWsv
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEFG0QttSm
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolSj18xd5a
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqaXOECrJk
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7fueICkYV
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVxfvSF8om
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEZs7ZPHfj
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9LIZ8g32X
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrZV77DdYR
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGWp1b6My2
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs7LhJfpSG
"Yes, really," I answered.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUc0St5odc
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuwPtwVIXr
"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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVXGy6snCL
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCh14ICrGC
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyvsQAPCKX
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx1WgtIA5P
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtYgbdw1n2
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNejbYNJK1W
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2EAGWNtUn
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3v1o3zab4
"What went well?" Lee asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpfjHkBDbQ
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WpcHKSH63
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmtlWUceSQ
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pMvJSVIAX
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTog8eUD2D
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4E1YuYOi3
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwvCerkxQ3
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8mRfAo05C
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0BMrhI1mI
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5Mu53vkmC
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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDKhBrxn7D
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSRTFjsfbW
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYlte95La7
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OGbtmuNmN
"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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP0U36g4bc
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNugIzimgcW
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchg7DucPKK
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXvpChnowQ
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sBGrJoVOF
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX2sfIxip0
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT001AVgDhh
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEosmfEd0aY
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoQy1YvP8q
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzSUTOgYBX
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRHpqTnGZE
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD3S1f8ZDM
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0TONocpIb
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3A7FANj2c
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZQLNT9Drh
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQvl6ZDBKZ
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEdwcVxWiE
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHP5WvFKZJ
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8RkKINWQ1
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojPzHgeoqa
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHzQSLEbum
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidXCKn8Est
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaW9VmqyCp
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF9ZYFXrYw
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHvHBPX4yk
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs90G72Dncx
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FTtu2EnHE
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLnKh81QwS
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMwsKsjDBq
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUhGsY9l1X
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA8yQRcAue
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCGp4zAsLq
"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?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BgCJjtt9D
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBsJGgsZga
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQNMi1jFNt
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviJP970Sa5
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6XFRahKQv
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWdwSnXX2s
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvQx6uEcVr
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56JvanFpsf
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEgbKDPZSH
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mjxnYqlUV
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwRKPu4Fue
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz4kxEaWlx
"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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTaiJiPxqu
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDKxuSIEcM
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr1m6hvgMi
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuCRTTUjAJ
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzrtDzN1h7
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8qDJIr253
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DISPEqejQ

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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFO1HQ61to
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa4AVBYSxh
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4eddD1UD1
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dE4iMGwc4
"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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwAmQOYvSe
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmw8prIFOU
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWwQb5mzL9
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Wazscum1
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVqOXrUlrN
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9JGcZUtSv
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIlQ6SigI3
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fx4tZArM9
"What is it?" Christine asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoifUALX9FA
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUtvzpBr9N
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSE9NBFChJ
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40RG30XsNA
"He's here," I said.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdYYodDblB
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofZM6Epp8n
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeXTI9SboH
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqa4X6u3sI
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwUUIbDwfV
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbdYd0Fl13
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMFTdxXzTm
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07yl55CcFR
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJWbmPAbWp
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o6z2eMHmQ
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoZw65rMil
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0wx2JaXWr
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCGGiOFSeC
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtML1GkzXOU
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINAXFTMwXQ
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HTanNBOyt
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWlYqUi8An
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVLhXmfZD0
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oi1FaEtBJ
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOB5wSkvQF
"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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjvl2icxwC
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHSqHWmhAx
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Uiebsfd5j
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uI2dR86cO
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNT62A36tL
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7SYKvCaOw
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwnXchp79v
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r4MbnNUfl
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TEyzAlAbK
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP5qDJ7ydf
"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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm9Z4Y4sLz
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBjFWNWlvt
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0XKd8aOVv
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTN8IayZjt
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctry4g28FE
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESYdByQ10q
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpPLq72FEq
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NNKZnGuf5
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWy3fpKzwg
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtFB9eHqCo
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKyheGKIWa
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWVYFtpDqo
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkIWC3M1Qa
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nOUHcp2fb
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jJxKSreLl
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm96bXEvSO
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL4RDZ420z
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXt6HmATCF
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6It41erbXz
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6mJXr7ApL
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswFUo1YZtT
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO9rmFA3tU
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....756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8ug8MpqgB
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl8CCycTUB
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsUZBo4iHU
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk69XCMDyNa
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpS9aqMlJW
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQZB5mckoi
"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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SRGbZJG0p
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduF9uBa0Eg
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgqJYohbC2
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRZVuUe2Dc
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZVYvSrbH0
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal4oCQiyNB
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx8RudOUBG
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJNFHdLID3
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHPyNE6cNL
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqaraOaCuV
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGiH1HvtZ3
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J3ZB7AR00
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tIuu94LG1
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDF4xX6bg6
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJcwpTSnde
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMbfBC96sr
"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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2unZfcnjM
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQkmE71Wfl
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgco8bFaEDO
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmwsVS9h8I
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oORFVpuAO
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzlAkyIlnJ
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF0BmP6eO9
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTyHCkcl8Q
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOBxBTI3IF
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEs7o2c7tL
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwkcBacewu
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbku6DYyg3L
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvhDgw2ahZ
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmHmR2hN34
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleogtbotgw
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqxF8pWjDL
"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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx22lK2iMkr
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D2pOYNiEc
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCWg4ix4F3
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv03EzJXAB
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXioJ3JHgF
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60d24Gt9C8
"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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gSLWAKO1z
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WzvgmkFO9
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA3T51bkUm
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA4kd4Sz8S
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRl4oVA1F4
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPG5QRAH10
"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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94btLnHsDE
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR57QQcIRgt
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TS04KcNYg
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5WkYnvi3I
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQbyHacCo2
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnUGPAAbfN
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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh8lAcRvVs
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVM6w5grd6
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYOzObkcCn
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUDsqMDreV
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..."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxe2FXoIZD
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGvRfvu7n3
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6rA8ULBLf
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO25r5sFc21
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFh9NYWBgj
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOi874rUd8
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3q82zzNLQ
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYkK1biRYn
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVMnrODwh5
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8tqRHuBIC
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi6gyRnzuP
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRKfSIJb2A
"I can't believe it" she said.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh6WRimDRW
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0N1tmi3Wt
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5LcYkrDsO
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6W590ke2u
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN10aX9vGjA
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBY0a4yjPM
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj0kImoPtZ
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlraqOyBQV
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mPfYM6Fcv
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyGadOaf8V
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaxWZ1kYpr
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGbdTKwrgN
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLYbTySfNe
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15CTdvoLoH
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:756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ4Bx8AMh0
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv121xQYVc
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbVgaTEIvu
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjvZqQJZ5L
"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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMgbymlLYh
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9RvGrWnUD
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyLbbsnZ2M
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOViaxtMa3p
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJA7H8b2E1
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtic4hhCkuB
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqUODbaMov
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81w1mTy9tC
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5B2xeSvaV
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzZogPOzeR
"He seems pretty cool."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhMo5MpRB7
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnXSV05tqI
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkzfrXPf3L
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuSmFZydBN
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwU1RySa9Y
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvaTAlTlXU
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5rC9HbAue
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzw2liUr27
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjjlccCeGI
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokiQunymIl
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5v5qv3nXh
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QTsWeaJLu
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNhYhe0Fah
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn24jA6fO71
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDfWnMdbDb
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFk5aW3mQs
"This 'Johnny' thing?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJZBaQsAdI
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0s9gZE9Jj
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxZc4pdL0O
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5rPdDJccS
"Why would we?" I asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDioA8fn7k
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G0Pdqju2x
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gV7VzWVjB
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3E7k4RQUt
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtFBPO84hU
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSoKTSbJNf
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjqfuX7s8N
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY0yH6u4Gi
"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?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfnxungFNQ
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNEMGxSEbP
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OhZGnOzEq
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1PZXgdWBP
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytOnOZABHq
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueJlZXDF8J
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLgumZDprw
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtwHpRqBm9
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4yzDEnLdy
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfnQa9JIZp
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmXz3PSrzX
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rjWDpZ6eT
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIvhpinYym
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qnl4bSVS3
"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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL8G4TEUIL
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDF4msINeB
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVlD5lnlwu
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l1iBRoJIm
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoRLZS2Ncl
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kkjJ0o66n
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOSLvXAMuD
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xjwvx2Hd4
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLnR7mefyj
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UtOXGSQrl
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYuGNmIVKK
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN89rM1wmaQ
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jhudn9qvE
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKPduwhepq
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovddx3ETat
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5HKyIfyzy
"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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgry24Byfxg
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg1xxaGM6M
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3p0rpdYqV
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oYGYb9xVl
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmJhXcjfKq
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwBwwPY2En
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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY0ZUfrwRD
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTL2Q0Sark
"Really?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZgUxt1d3t
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEYZHmqr92
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibswhd5XLq
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkTmLE33GU
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."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD0hcNFNUn
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IPBYdHwRA
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgQOmIjS8w
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwTeVlxtfT
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CHoxn5noh
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpsHFJRfln
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpHYjKadgf
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuV2gopAdc
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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05WK5IfhCn
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOzVZvmDAh
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA6cEmpT9O
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcixuP5oL5

"There was a dance video of Lisa and some girl," said Lee as she played the video for me.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGggm6YCKSt
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hgKZCAoka

756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP61fqHjoo
"Do we really have to do anything?" Christine asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdzTVRyZ4Q
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBuwpr23Tl
"Don't tell me you want to think of something like a battle strategy?" Lee asked.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQsEEZxdws
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeXwtsqb7T

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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7iZp05oBj
756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWE52tKHT9
"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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ca2N3Okcm

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.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry40DUeKC4
