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?801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKJW7vnmcJ
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuqsAidoHr
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDZNPOGW8X
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacaHNStvcd
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldHlyewUBn
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeAzwf5iWz
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS8yf3xEGw
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwTAvVBhVd
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8jNSJzyal
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuBwnAh8aR
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY2Horfvro
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTIpf4MwSL
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zIHkzxGys
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcWo80x0B4
"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?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWienaxYG3
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXXIqf1WGs
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu101KLvn2
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujhROAiFkK
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JIE8ltcUR
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvfoEUXnDD
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks1xwnoQBr
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnGzUb0lJc
"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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhVo17Gauo
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXSubyJuvN
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLmqiPdE5s
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIyskKu467
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNMw2bH2YX
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDzEPgxXSq
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNALa1qZyh
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIF8Any0qO
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOphq5ODYm
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSnZYZq3xn
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH2Wu9xHDD
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1TDwxDAne
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89n0Qk6SLv
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln4mt3nA3X
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpCylNY3W9
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvZDwSF1zR
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfuV5G73IG
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqBt3IxPpl
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9hvgKXP9p
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4ZfO21u2r
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ysBTPdFfN
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTBeSa9kFP
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy9HYw5aZT
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS33XZiDYi
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9fphZSjiV
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ikv7B66pY
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtGjtzIhfc
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8QNBltd8z
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hzUnTwaWw
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pUPL524HU
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbqVnPTbFm
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJn7xeXucZ
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WwxbOhJK2
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eXTVrRcf2
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGkwYeKlk7
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnpf7feHDi
"Sometimes I think you cheat."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIdfYIXmBV
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWdEt2frmV
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogd1PVL1zO
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlugumVk8r
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yvuik7iUA
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0su3ZUohDu
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGbrGU47eW
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb91gctlq6j
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WvCRcqCKd
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvsI8KXyRh
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD6Tahcpb5
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJvzV5JjsJ
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJRzdBCRLi
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfINnUMTB4
"I better go give them a call, then."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t04cAhX8c
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcW4CpzQiA
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2cstn9prA
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlhtUMycVP
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmroh3IyVEj
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPq2iycMqW
"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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnISUpqZU8
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iNSvPniGU
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DxpdLRBvd
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVjoj8tL46
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYWT1zZNVm
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqVkT0Gtmw
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?801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCY8r5ib6z
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIuRmwlDwn
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXN5C341y3
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUju1aqxGf
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WdTgmHJME
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDveAtbAkku
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNswOAOJZ0
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhnnd36Kuk
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxblEuU97g
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKHa4Rs77l
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0Dhx0ueav
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Yc6D7dI8b
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwR97UpdcW
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjV6MdKlCv
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJp2cvqt9S
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwiVhKF3oR
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSnHed0k65
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiWKIVKJoO
"Ya, sure."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LBvn6pI67
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhighXsJc7X
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHChGqo6DL
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiGfFXFEiz
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EIWnm7bPX
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwfjCPcRbe
"Anything?" Zoey asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLocVZM34ul
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxBuVsdYsx
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2oRZBVC4e
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAB1LvtstQ
"Okay, well, we can wait."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLbIAWYWUJ
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH8b3lUnRz
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsTLNZnMYd
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLeGC94EFi
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRoGnFj1qQ
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe1hgtqCcq
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2sg9LCaEK
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuBAudsHMq
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTlvZKgtD5
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzjrWkcWmw
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFfNo0zdMe
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJXhxSPPlr
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9j5SsBKhs
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84sEJMNqvu
"We can't work on the song without them."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JBYi9N2Px
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sYprl0yox
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lzwx6Mp5F
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3ZikH2InN
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCW0bGAilk
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6EIfOAU87
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgOLxfxW2E
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO9O52kHzg
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsTaJf6YDe
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ7SIsFXxG
"Then get your guitar and notebook."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cuhxXEv64
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw3R1BLBOJ
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc4LAZGaNk
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu8qX1oDuX
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydvl9VcIeF
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiDh9bAYVq
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8x32tiBAh
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKydIxIq9P
"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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfozdwh4Ow
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0a3Dw4EJ5
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U1QIKqDqc
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXrejW0vvJ
"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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKFYFHHvKD
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdD76kGJZd
"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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP2QxhvXrl
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTerTHkzPH
"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?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo6F8oem5V
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHJL0Gu7a1
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI9F0lR143
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVK6UTIhfp
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7FihuSTsg
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ymk61lhZc
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdbe2gq3hz
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16dgnmbysn
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlUHqURMrq
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWXL8RQQcl
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz5HYV4ZGh
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VlXi9rdxb
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEvI0h8Hln
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hV4NueQVc
"Yes, really," I answered.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmXiDfYExi
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbrd9YIGsJ
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaJUddtqvF
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PmOc5SjdA
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnU2qLxvzD
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovCnTZJNnv
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ENh7hODxk
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYuR5sfXE3
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfygibYsd8i
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKtmwTcKJ0
"What went well?" Lee asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF69aLuP21
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkawU8kwhz8
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp9enRkdHF
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViJmCxRPFE
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKEUYxfwPy
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATAdIxZAse
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIBVoq6x0J
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzoEqRLm1v
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBcTLmqNN6
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZHgu9nhVH
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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVkelI17nW
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lwm0DN0dp
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRvcFcNLzU
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NCcNbu7Is
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmHcBwQqgw
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3DRvne48t
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbyeLmSfMa
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrWxRhkoL5
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm4HsZhGpq
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyAv6PWJKh
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZXrvfsfPC
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPHw7UsIsR
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoKeiQmEHX
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoyuQknPWt
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt9WY10UtV
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY89SB2JCS
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDezc51GLE
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpgItBsFSw
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3cwJiH9hW
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsWvIFVLQT
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQgL5kxLOs
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj3Xghtbrx
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQrsCqZ5tm
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKECAYs8QG
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo2jnm2F8R
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQfPVGYTL6
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5uop6Wj0i
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZXTUyOGNf
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpSJayAD7J
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzmONjGE4X
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCfMbYKKa3
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyz2gI8RE7
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFVHQhz7sX
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fd28wQQdV
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn6nJ8z6E6
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp4ux71cxo
"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?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cB5swWDnF
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl47AW01K7
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZPdmOxttJ
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LmBkXVRSL
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGlfW0ykpl
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeFEqdF4sx
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqH4H08RYR
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJt22XMFTc
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGeJHY8fRt
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnUTXcbs4I
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnnZuAiWS0
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5KAkRXXNc
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSK9aEVaWo
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJebY4A3Ui
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFKHddqgmV
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw4wpmWtYD
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LpLaZJFrh
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobjKX9kplN
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KmrAwmrPq
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrGliqjAtO
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8XWZdIJ7U

"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfsbWbSsfC
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuhCmKVZet
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwbLfPhEWR
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRfSNh3ZHw
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAVIxR6WW4
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeofoAifnh
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xxr3rcxhO
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tGIMX98tR
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk3K7zJ9XX
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpzTDZjLiZ
"What is it?" Christine asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QX4i9l3L8
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PDMxv5UTe
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJV3sXYF65
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxcwCzO9ab
"He's here," I said.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHssqkEkdl
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCuGA1OvEZ
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg93NMFNQQm
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOGKuqlHgr
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV2cC6DQYn
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa377ZVpjJv
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKystUmWPd
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsFdJ6Lztl
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpp6Eo1cuI
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVIYUnOCPt
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH1cP84Azb
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ftzLE1BqE
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5C3Fj2Oo7
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikmNcAkZgp
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgig8JKGIe
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jpyAHjPCq
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHePe3zpj48
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLEdEUn5Qm
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXhLyLePHM
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD6KK5nGoo
"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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUEwQ532tm
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvQziPaOtJ
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWs5vaCclw
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5p5r9GILA
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DH72ClQNR
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZWiZKR9SA
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQYx47wdxi
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiXmR7jcRm
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KYJM55zSC
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX2uZvGHZ4
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD5JvBiRog
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfC6ravDHi
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN630zfxjMk
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFFXX6wowg
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSqOJXX94E
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAJynneQ2b
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCVmwqbRBS
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT5bTALs2D
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA32bknGcy
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaM3eN4krG
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99V9xBzwAp
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHrDC3JCFw
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNgN3POHuQ
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9L1hc6xMy
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqokgB7P6n
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFemFPJrRX
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KczZHogZv
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXImzEZmcMd
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK5uimUnEg
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDmJlLKOqK
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdvUBXLbh3
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VZKpBiQQz
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....801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQL1ikG6fO
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NGcCrF1Gu
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HNntm2ehW
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw4FozvY8N
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKugwACtu6
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSgja2gCPD
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5jWEjHcyj
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gG3LXX7fl
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAuQj2caUn
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dmkf2mX2z
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFmU6o6kvX
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6TpQkUUsm
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk0IPj454F
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XSLV9mk6e
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7U2pgbqk7
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZRfKwMsVq
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVksW8VpKB
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRqBuMx8nz
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdeMWkqf1a
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvcfH5BP5m
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT97QRCvt2J
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjIjWktAvT
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZZnqZr8CV
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPv4REB7WH
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jM4MsSuT7
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTWvFcrwRG
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMoxY3WkTC
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A9mWdT7k3
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0KkxNVEdb
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fFYnrItIB
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId6nelcZp5
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73OYuekJrq
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1xLPCUa98
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdMAh8Du3K
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPlFBzoZtT
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AMvDHiCja
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuIbatEO2O
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl5uSUrCZM
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBopgcnTvM
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0BwFaWT2y
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm31ZvrS3s
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCqfjhCNlp
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0IMQDSLnc
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCl0dObpRN
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW7DJ0DlsG
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiDXny6ncG
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7liNrcPFPx
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tgzAVKqge
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20BI68G7SY
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8FJ5nLMjM
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4G8yG0y8X
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fh61PwsRm
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyn5ICZCf5
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrfiYnrq1v
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLmdn7S1EU
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkikPkLSVu
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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufuD9oqIKj
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxoW3am71f
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy6rEQYBnW
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa21QFjxMNY
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..."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVDYjPTjUr
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMl5M3YGzG
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkn8Ckx2zn
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgope2u3RfZ
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSaL37OFv5
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mJRYCtdvc
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPMScVozoi
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7kEBmFNr3
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet1UZWXb2W
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3FXHTVViD
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wzwvfgt0F
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMs2hJ4tlA
"I can't believe it" she said.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wel6u1xby
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO35vnllzVe
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoHduwqw6f
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbyPRp0Wk2
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLr62jPAa5
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6UmF3D82Z
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrQXLAwC7q
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrmMBDregI
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxrLDtQY1o
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3OEGHHz4s
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlJTIlLBem
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPRwAtH9ua
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JLj3WVi8x
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TbXmfxqDN
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:801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPnl2diPtZ
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Cf87Y5cbf
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC09YGhYNJf
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjjvAQQDvT
"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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGysSJFiYx
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6Z4lvaL7l
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBZKHWxVbz
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxwJRcZP56
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf8n8P1M6B
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhcQeDTSSK
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl0K1t5RDs
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzbEhhT1oR
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uwF563JgV
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH2L96tEhO
"He seems pretty cool."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP4yiFTgMJ
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeCTYjqKVK
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TZ7p6ec6X
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4EGgUUd4o
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOvY6P7Aye
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi83EJQLuKe
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiHVH7EFgx
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaPuYtP2RW
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVNU9QCBNO
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoC9qKIJSO
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ioY4vSyIZ
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ccN5H5YpY
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdnwdw5J7O
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwoSGkY81Z
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTmYWx4FUF
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqnKpebDol
"This 'Johnny' thing?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs7ySFkh8e
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk2lBX5Ae3
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW42qO6Upmr
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsToH8A4u9q
"Why would we?" I asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMswo72KnEr
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbN8kg0xOE
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l7ZTTm6EW
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QJZ3vlIm6
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFDYmbKcBQ
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf6UxqnEWk
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa6vCff1Zm
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eoTmRE4sF
"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?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOY8fSo6Vl
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbTpyWzu0T
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE15WCP3rL
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpGcutlvcL
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDlCp1YYPl
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTnIyOTCns
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKzKPzIJlA
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMyjLmxOo8
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnYtxKuOND
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqddPF9MZo2
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL35CAkaoLc
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49WrNBAf7K
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0erVO4nYZ9
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN7WNopMrD
"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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZQXMSwGLO
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPjg6ldXPO
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAT4CBu7cH
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgrjoSWjYN
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpvxwZkeOk
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oXd1VU58W
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvvSfyVlDc
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOpa6tBAE0
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv9nbHFEJg
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbIxFJcdRK
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYxhCbBF3d
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmmVIPm6za
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEvTdzYrTP
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlHkmdLVIr
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMIFMQ90Mr
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm6YGQRJx5
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jPwN9oddN
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyMDWmefSc
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPrajn8Nsx
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7E3UF8VvQ
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvdcWdCkSr
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcUjoXHIGF
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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbiJ2ajbTb
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekIZjXBTHq
"Really?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE7ZRDXuFd
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzHzc3Id6D
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafW0kRY7VA
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBRl1NXUfE
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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdi1jdYpvr
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh3RXtuFcL
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HFfGZ6SLe
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzSeWgGZvY
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4cQ3Glmzf
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8hIq0wdjM
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw33YTNbwux
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUynfRKp3Ly
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGLg13fBIP
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg0JjsItBP
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUernynNNNU
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQnJgJITdb
"Ya, you too," I answered as I smiled back.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuZAcprIG2
