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?779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBClIrBNlLk
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHGN9z0xje
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QBkNvYG54
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX5GsLjTWu
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXwlY1AjE8
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo4CHdy1Qu
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RspScVf2h
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bTi7nND6S
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGHX2cvQGT
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvpHVSvS85
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwouo5VoSHv
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oXpB0kdNa
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa43hu3UFv
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjgDNzDt0Q
"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?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLOXYDAs68
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xJNlfWGGO
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrxpLulmuE
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxcD42YHpq
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb34vJWu622
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFf1Hka6XX
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc57kDzJkM
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlsd8ItEzU
"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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHwHGfPpI0
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWkjywetix
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgYbLVBEAq
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMslvojguzC
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLrY8K2xOQ
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz85cXZ2T8
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7liybMHv3t
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX4pfWFIc2
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tBGD4zSeL
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwftHDRxni
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP56f45iLVt
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUyBHdwxkY
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnClfhLqlhq
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5x8vfRUvn
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgGyQyCz1p
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDXTAW78bD
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu2olPfD7S
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagWA0sy1kp
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPOtDlxFnn
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIEdWzIyT6
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhWPqm7WZB
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuW1YjtO8D
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NwOxclTlF
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xd9GEK84h
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdT4tgGrPf
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM57bwrK1X
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WQrcANR0a
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcu1xcpwxL
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkQavIRYJE
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXkRaAqH9U
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iazTqVihP
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ72MMkNNh
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzFwd8lG8k
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe8BiTIySS
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16VEqOF42x
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qSiwGzu9J
"Sometimes I think you cheat."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWtMR0PD1T
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNbywfms0H
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAiXxRIkJ4
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lxI13UCUa
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQSNGSuoUv
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSzT36hTMD
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNgNNUo6oD
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmjOAHXjPg
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykawIbNQdt
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYifaEdQin
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0GutY5ep5
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfij2F0wLhp
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1EoxjlgB5
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiXxjBdM6q
"I better go give them a call, then."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF9V4qt9K4
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFzlzC8XpX
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbqn4r5cPV
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03tXKbu3Gc
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMEWYnpo7S
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6seK7MdvCV
"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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZcPMqzBFL
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVx1fvakrZ
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8dgLQtGqn
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtVtZ8RJ9V
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj5R5akkTK
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbghYLumrzI
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?779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWtX6wAz97
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5v40Yh3Hl
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjuCepFy0e
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtAO7cK7PJ
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapcMMkVoGd
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmLsBy1LKE
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZPuyc03Am
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMPtOY55XF
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T1x4L8fsG
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJtQME0tFP
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfr4XAJHga
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyKg7bdzK6
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vt7SAJwFe
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn95QjpWvSd
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlp9UdwbPM
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnIs2aoxtp
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquo0I9nRHa
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfTSAle3CD
"Ya, sure."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68edxm0ZPT
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS4dPzcZqa
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoj4DiQreg
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoLKjwmGJ5
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdlQKOadBg
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI444xyIVa
"Anything?" Zoey asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqNnGA7PWU
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdVFHRf6a7
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2Ctio5H1a
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBPXPieS4C
"Okay, well, we can wait."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6tkD0GtkX
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pYbt1m6Gd
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QTWVf2SH3
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2RjBKDZCa
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOalE1Fnoi
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2PnvCu99p
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKVqVWeRst
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedqH4gGFgb
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucQF1Q0CGd
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs78LDsYS94
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u7mt39knv
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH0pPVOq5Q
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumJaQ9e0Ct
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaWMBjV3Cy
"We can't work on the song without them."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTHFCUiOQL
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NNdyXmzek
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSLvnYRA1e
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VHtNiBHdl
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7bNaTTeaq
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wjK7RrXxn
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8fhQsiRCo
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5SM1BcGGM
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYfFgeYX0b
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z3KdBMB4N
"Then get your guitar and notebook."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRyN0pYdOY
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtTh2kfrm8
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYFGPamC1r
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCLnL63BNk
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3SBRCHV1o
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gsVbo9PbT
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncXynBbvtQ
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tlTWoIPZn
"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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KuB1d0W2I
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwDmDBcJX6
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC3kK4ZypL
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKVggxTOzZ
"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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumdwUlfztE
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHTokhBkFf
"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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh04P6CPEEu
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBPc0LyTuV
"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?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncdvBU84dB
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2Pd670K2G
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2Zu63nmar
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdhXDlpCup
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyopwtysn9E
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLp40T3hHj
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWB73hGeVq
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFmXFxfpWT
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfaXX0i7A3
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0vAMTtCxz
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6eiTRRk3c
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YwbCJ95kY
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo88sCOTvn
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1vxjEKSkK
"Yes, really," I answered.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesFZOQVQP5
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb0KXmDK2r
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm7hgCOgum
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7oTorNPBs
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMk4m5Yw6P
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL0KYRcOQx
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoaWRPu93L
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbjf3V8dtC
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqwIUzt0aa
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRnZMwGGAm
"What went well?" Lee asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRjNBkGAXl
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mxRXQSqVZ
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Eu5AQCwvo
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXJFMM9IJq
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRrX4xmRCG
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvEyH1MnpN
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklhHKNCY6S
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5tm37tM0k
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMOfy1PbH9
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8ZOiSbw6M
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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3BxOPPV3P
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuGwWI2MCA
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qorsd33RC
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21TzB7uQVt
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszogKIM11y
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CS7z7rwpm
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1GqWScPZp
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0G366tfp7
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUiKY2ZSKW
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ62fiPqHb
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2L2O18mu6
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZnSroQh5D
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kZrA8n0zT
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7rkuiZwl0
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeRj1ewsaX
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYULkzlhM8
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjbokfcx02
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmsztquaIx
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vds8VF8Ec
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcThKVeCpM4
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp08jXR6QF
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW2dy8HAho
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTWzGZOG6j
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7UfEbwSYm
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf97INfnG5
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu7AwxoDuy
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qxqc9V5zU
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreBTbg2p5i
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcfoVbL9KK
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EZU1BGkSm
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYmoiDsx5p
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYezuDLn6ld
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WEdeVULPp
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIu3UFHUqV
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0btH8nMZv
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdMuNa8m4u
"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?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMvIUrfjem
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pe4s6zXi2
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6u5stC8lW
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM818eRsZOr
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KMLeJHKsR
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUBjy3AGLE
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9QMUgo2HY
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWVm0nJOp3
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt3v8yOrvX
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0uCRNy3Mz
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx9UkNTweJ
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvcPo6wqtN
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YmWFrEgc1
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroRC9nArWV
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2Evyfo98m
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu7ITNx0rB
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7XKgsm9i2
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3FEIOaedC
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZadK6Ile1w

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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoQcDqZCve
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sqkaJIWG4
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LW8AUzysI
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV5LPovtjJ
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBQUHsstCm
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0lYSoQVTK
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUEksYEtbK
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9VTiulaaF
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsblb4EXXBG
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3IRWPMQz1
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE6ICZ98XE
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0fj57hyxt
"What is it?" Christine asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EAJhC7dGG
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQbnssMBeC
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRexFHY31r
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhm0COrqdQ
"He's here," I said.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci8WDv7pMv
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NBaMJm9BR
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QnClW4dTQ
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKbq4z8fYV
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxRzdz0hro
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9Z7G2o6Aw
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSduRi6mKw2
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vX5VGEmEV
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fX1uKfLGN
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeu8cu2z2S
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKFD4A1kWp
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBc6LbiA5b
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf5BcIlPrZ
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82vGBfdNQH
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00zL4XnI7A
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh3W2SscPs
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS3t4dlqtT
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVIMu2kysy
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfllrf7oClt
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfgWzHq7u5
"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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fK3tgIw6P
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3bnl97G7P
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfBatiD98g
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CFaOSA3XW
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIWiWMBF4s
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk8Z0E5tmR
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Utzy7k0Yr
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaray9UtsgF
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVJIK2gpLc
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKL9w2Y5cL
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vd6R0CdFR
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxeikGTqzL
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt0xNRRaIb
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3A3dEZl5j
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwIgJ0Ovf1
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJhH1Gujia
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK876RvSk7
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWTbezn6TZ
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuksaNC6lvO
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CWMBhaP8I
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtagxcpyURC
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmjciN7zQA
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uck0Wv5Ro
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6nR8Z3j9a
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEQt0hGyz1
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF8bUmLGGv
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhSNKJFtWA
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiaRVHZCCP
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmmFVuLlUS
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5UmWSgyyJ
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlmL9mUXIB
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SEx98T6mg
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....779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S91gG8Yon
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJgS0iiJ1r
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYNf1v0pAC
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUbVzl7bkX
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGGxGM5WBA
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJvNunDxCl
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQhpifb51h
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHXM2RP6rV
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC79A4UtNH3
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mXbLBhRuY
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrk14Lc5jk
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJSvbVK30K
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmVZgebfR6
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAhEMeYOMM
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyog502syPt
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqfomvtRG8
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhunOYZ3guF
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKVLl0wMRD
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8t6wIdafY
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPytVVhyBif
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMvqU0ebrL
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC7tpux28d
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6qGz85iNs
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjNZdlO6XX
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaYuRHvJ1o
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AMGuDLFl7
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nIHJYqLXo
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVCEd1YtB8
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvokzbQaUo
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPmDM251kk
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6soeXaGhy
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb9jo6Sc9W
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmEPW4d9MX
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5r3BziNlI
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygkmwFAP5V
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVDgoemdUu
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVXqlPqByy
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDmZnUkzj7
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkcpOTMsHr
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJAsDJnlnK
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VbIz2iMdm
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHarinrf9UK
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzMyQj1ada
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jvHpvzA5a
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQgoMKVbWY
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQxaD28a0C
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgRZtmQ8Zg
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdfEaGSVZI
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdFTxLRu22
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI97lVqN9m
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG6ZO2dwEM
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUseUfdR44
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV8cPgxd6t
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVshDUfqSr
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQixMg2re5k
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFbFHxi4fS
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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPbwDGyuyU
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtVQ3Fiekj
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUVpNYBzWO
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7wgQLXQ0m
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..."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqmQn90TuA
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKI4R6HBJt
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHLcMUBbdk
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq127alfvRU
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GE1rJygAy
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6GZSkcHXF
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96vd9A2Ord
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dNX2mAbCK
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUZ4Js1sYY
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ltjgsPxcn
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDvikTZ8sj
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4VEutjwAO
"I can't believe it" she said.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS5ebc08a3
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zd0kMFlne
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OvjP464Yq
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaiI0ei0nq
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKjBf4mlWg
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMISrDjSEl
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR2MKNIZl4
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oh6mIfBuU
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaVrV7Nubl
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4dgooLhDd
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO5BnxpRTW
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sO5xiyHOP
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3OdfbeBJh
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6WgB0NmW4
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:779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl4OKAUmnK
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOpDjokRBe
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhwD3Of0XN
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiEZrzEskg
"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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zPK6lSBPI
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP28vv7pUYu
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigI1iRwGNG
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ4HNAIHII
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7nU5iFvrj
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nn5NgNa1O
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuPCSw7Yif
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpy5PCQwDa
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQI4IxIDlG
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsDMkdiRUX
"He seems pretty cool."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMiH28wstx
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERlpvzFDzi
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu00DJ7P3R
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOr5r9yvJM
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWH9iDPBjh
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsblyDZ6Qt
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBhnq9CSDR
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAy243huHa
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGbYNpesGF
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82KoUcanEt
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmeO5EV4Rn
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTJHnA9Pzu
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6oheyTLlL
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99wCTxJUXG
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN4oTU3Ww7
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1n6NDfoIF
"This 'Johnny' thing?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndq5Dzz66N
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJxd9ABS7L
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjM8VDaa4R
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mqT2k7VJG
"Why would we?" I asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DzQMKCsEM
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tsrtKTjKX
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xKC8OqP4g
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY3ka3iTMY
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcyfICPcn0
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQhsUXnB29
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5GF7tv4pB
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHml6ED6g2t
"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?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw41sB28fxB
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuSm7TQlIo
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHjoOdQ9pT
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GIkRXb4sG
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLxdvCJZIz
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MJxKdjkp5
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc8eJ8WDPe
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWswGNIbDu
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKTp9osAEP
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kkkHcGKw6
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiJ0L9nRUF
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtpmssTWUm
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC3fXF8aDB
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bZDSJGE29
"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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiNo6ViHun
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCFKDkbv9t
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ0PQDAbVt
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpVlsUAj7e
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG6dAhVQSw
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFNbptTLko
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSmAyk324d
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRTtXdUG4G
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFukejXWu4I
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEykgSv31u3
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjYiDyw1fq
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV27fxT0cGt
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WiPPRbnWQ
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcafHoZFi4
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu9cH6O5g1
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSxtTaXIBS
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oZKaMZnZw
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoXwIck7I8
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEv0vCXB62
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt2B7gZQYq
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZukPDHu58
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieNrUGbLl7
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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknWlnhopK8
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLXTNHYIFa
"Really?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zpAfsQng0
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFgoVH3Enp
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS77f28RAu8
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqCTwIe6JG
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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0Wonkhny0
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKxvJgFJo5
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnd09tJo2Q
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0lvAGJvya
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Waw2YGISk
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjssleGzGK
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6belgjXc8
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv1cf3Gurl
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpQbDRfsFz
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G1HZYrDgK
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWUL4E5FYT
