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?1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTzudNnNWg
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR2S2L0rUL
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct1XhOEDmw
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLnzmitvUS
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKl5093Nj6
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlTiu0XMY6
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ptzZOHCmn
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25XGXoF4AM
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoCD2YnqjH
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlfNLEE7cM
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cs8gNiGGO
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKSkHWMIc9
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ10kwQTiY3
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwntYDrfbY
"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?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJcw3333OQ
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3xta5X3d1
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0T3yb4p5m
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfmUI3M1jB
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEQbDA2icp
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPfATnVHVS
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQZWIZ1F8y
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD0mtWzFwo
"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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITkXBBtcJC
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2ORdBYcXc
"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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6fb8dMkIQ
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbOjdKMd5U
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjrnHp7jrB
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraUn66Jhzu
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkFKSbIFJh
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRMMjeLmKV
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY3Mu6TZdK
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQev1Xy34k
"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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcq4qvEjTf
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxcZ551wvA
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnsvRptK1M
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3aMfM02mk
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOllJ00KWH
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlyFt9yWFv
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCM1rTX3Rb
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNTmnfwQFT
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo38sQkVnMV
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lp9yIqgVr
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99CG5OqmEM
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKlSyE3c4r
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeX3DQnuii
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YD10fj0jx
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyoZcKdUN7
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySNQdg0tSk
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExp1OnaPWS
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kKe92S5SU
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iblNUmoy4
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqpoXAfoBm
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCDept1qYX
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTOMwnHHKL
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ctSnIEsye
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiUcOuCBl0
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis1gCuW5GO
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmqDAFjtTw
"Sometimes I think you cheat."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJKiDmxKo0
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf52MRvB6IX
"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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIPu2kDrnI
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq9rnPxYGO
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEF7MPJvYT
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDS2QP8v7X
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYAVXbhPx4
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhviQRK4Q1
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27btNI23QJ
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMK4CInQ2G
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx3NWL4B7O
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYLOu8oH4l
"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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinoOi7A4Wb
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmdQMvSyvm
"I better go give them a call, then."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEj604ndDB
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHwkeC3tdi
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfFx4HVssJ
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnxMCM8NqX
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtvXg7KKvG
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NddWBHK5v
"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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxVWVl9EJh
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHUO3IMvrK
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZtmIuzved
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ02fiC6YS
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhYeEQG8KE
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzILT7NekA0
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?1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuwd1FnYP8
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKCAgZAW3P
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tQu2HaVPd
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9Q93XeDHi
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5WssWyZmU
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckDJciEpE8
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIH2XVCu1U
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMhRPIiMbg
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2MeK6OnhO
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYwKZz02Ao
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUjOKiZQwl
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDRqATIS11
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDQq9QMUbm
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqYFroYmRX
"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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCep7m2kiS
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ThRMH0X2R
"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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRUhAOu7Rh
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3so3wgct8M
"Ya, sure."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZrJvEa7Ts
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeNS6BQRei
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UTv4gQAg7
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIZiWYcTDV
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kaSuYypPl
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJZOXHUFfB
"Anything?" Zoey asked.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHuqhpn3B3
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbaRFvJfaT
"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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmoBqHxgvY
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFREse7W43
"Okay, well, we can wait."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJS5QXhYaA
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOnglLSy5g
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJs5ccdd1u
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4GOx5wybk
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJftDpohvNE
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sPV8dpRIR
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3Kj9uYgUk
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8umWjEvUH
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3drORuenJY
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZF5AstUUq
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIYhc22eFA
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcGwJtrASM
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhyjFJg1JW
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQhjwKhG23
"We can't work on the song without them."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQe8M5sjvw
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukS3C3zMR4
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyipdkY1jHi
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmxHUmy1AE
"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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqikPsQ0HiR
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRZ482bh2n
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT5BEpO0OB
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2fQ7AdLoT
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwZgOU4YNu
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQRHJe6qPv
"Then get your guitar and notebook."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ef28bu5Vu
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAXoWGVYaq
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7EzPLLxGt
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkcXTBGkXi
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWoc1yirPO
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv54CsPKh2v
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoObMRaVkL3
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhJY8ahyJy
"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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs7Kk6fkuE
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp2sFyn2lU
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwLGjbYkyt
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMmmxzztbX
"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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbyhirbwtb
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEq4gpvvbJ
"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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kjqsQc6NJ
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx4w49Lsd6
"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?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebS0CugmZd
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIHBwVGnxB
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lUjl7YGYu
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOoNYlccXm
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl41zcruj4
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVSyCrjI3d
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY9qLVGXDb
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlOhq9N79o
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWr2mlMx4m
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3imtdG9My
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGqoGuiFaa
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfVwYfwYUP
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiQ2UPAfuE
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlHNcsZBgw
"Yes, really," I answered.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxpUF3Yz3L
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktMYlEJU3A
"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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEQjXaOglC
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvdLjQjSe7
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNBZL6Gieb
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKnfvmQXKy
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3EUe8pKUW
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrZK49CV4n
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZjizMwGbF
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRzkhf4gYD
"What went well?" Lee asked.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aY8O0vR94
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu07AP73tix
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvliZ18ACfS
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf0IzSZwFT
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87vHZHr73I
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFAHCYH2cy
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbzbnga7DQ
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1knKS1qxxB
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eYpKHpij4
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ks0hkJxLm
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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICuA8Voa9C
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjsSNI1yfb
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqXgrPgnCv
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAb8KMUv0i
"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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQU9UWexZp
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu3h5qnlcS
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2la9LxVTE
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl74yvPJvj
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9q02kQ8vJ
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPLqiSTzCr
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvorj152Gy
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sXgtj2ewD
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfJYZ1wM5T
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyMUbrMtts
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SQbUMCS0Q
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEE0WMWfjL
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlyihliYl2
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlarGe7sT1N
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNM8D3VKsp
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZRCJz5Mdl
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStChjTOoma
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7Y430W9Hj
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2Nyxca9na
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5dycp1ag8
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnr84ksTl7
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYEVfDISTa
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGyrrVCFsm
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt7ddoKG92
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTiGHo9bxV
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefUpH18H6v
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQnLgd1yHL
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi7kDQigxV
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbj8S4iR5t
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt2qwZigl0
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGj9PGC2Cu
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PxrOunWjz
"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?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOb5CZOmHN
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO2jj0iloL
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIrPte4Ytk
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1nzJGEJK9
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3xbYbtg89
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf4xjgMtOu
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgxR2cnw4h
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN65Afp0zis
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48cKWMaqEd
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5CA8XLGGE
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAehuCD7vn0
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMbNSDd2Id
"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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXNha8tXIX
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCE4q6xFzJ
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5ASJzs527

"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pZLsuDB2p
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMo4as15QH
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl457mab3Bt
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOErwe7TJn
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwBgSV3KQK
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcgAwDHaRt
"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmHs9AulCq
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q9jk1Zqml
"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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xGSeAoHoW
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nK9WTzGTi
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz5Q0HQIFn
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmEfyaqj3b
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKxcdtk1pz
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzqHJU1n3Z
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAP074Lu87
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdDsLATUbY
"What is it?" Christine asked.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrTgX5yo1r
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDsfQ45JTa
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJngtCZZs0
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wMe46koAI
"He's here," I said.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3Sq9zv9vu
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil96c7vJRQ
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaxduBrIHB
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxX3uiny2P
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYniLLhzS4s
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPni8CUXDoT
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJv80Rhfa9
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzArV57SDHd
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg0X5PghzJ
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mlyx67nWo
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYghExTRAw
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdN7Rh49CK
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZIPYGz9jb
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahrOZdB6t1
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY0wdYo9TQ
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotXnZb8CDz
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5GxmlKfn4
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA7foz3YBL
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtIPHAlMum
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp9UH1C7eY
"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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo510dFkZmx
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJgelNJPQd
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb9mFiRvVD
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimXJH74dko
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcD2VS05YD
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaZT4Ewc62
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvRv1e2OWr
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAB6mryiqi
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyHLlmXMog
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OHboxEzFp
"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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanjwXx4lmQ
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d5rHfCQYA
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvBecGQhcK
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi40TCvcUVL
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF1fjxgXQU
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYOvAjKQxS
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSWEedEeZz
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKajtZPFxl
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLS8kEZ3kZ
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHWZ9ieM5g
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1cg5gMsof
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtjwaYcJiE
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKemlm65MW1
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijeSKwGq75
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3gAx6wi3n
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqBeicWnM6
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZrDnQ263T
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCPkA3aE2A
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfnZ8wxxLM
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr25H5jwp4
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlLygCALMy
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHG7DKnO6h
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....1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfYrwoY9Mp
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnNKn84xih
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MRGn2o4lF
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nBrxbFg88
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHZ7INBGhW
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJns4kWnqze
"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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLkTCnGGla
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcJWf7SKSE
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9LXzURMVz
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7quY3QmsZk
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHTluXUqL2
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p8CIzz9Nu
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9SYiyiulu
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPwH0sybgy
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP9chRjheL
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT8IIFqfAJ
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey6sFTCUls
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WsotrQzIJ
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcAxf6tOeR
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsby6vLNYkt
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4ud3Bx8ng
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUBNM69v9L
"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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gYtPyY2v2
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktXGLWFJdh
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1XIuN0Pmm
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLGfAGqe9i
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCMfePtt53
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mpC8pEjHQ
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIeUGQGtmI
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuUtkD6W9h
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPBpXucuTF
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEU1CjC3zA
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEdW4Sx6z4
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhixXE02YXE
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiwzGxpQUd
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkEyBlDVFU
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySv8GBQKFD
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRX2PjFJi1
"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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrEnBkcCRN
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsGGzUQYQN
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxgtDf9PDx
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH4bEKfTnF
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCvvAFqTGs
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXCRrCBJqL
"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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7C6NG384v
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouryTpLSVt
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICzyQ9e1mn
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxGBsvsMIJ
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wZfEh47w8
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTTOTA6YMv
"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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuxEZhcD2c
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ289EfMlyjW
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kXFvmDyug
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6TwjFmrgs
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPRzAYNFtM
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODDTR6tfYG
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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYv5HI8FLU
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSkgPSSDT3
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRes1qZm0qd
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KGMN3l4dP
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..."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhVNQDObh9
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6mkmzfgoF
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRZAINvGob
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWgJ78aJFu
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rEVsPPlAX
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKROuGngl1
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9lEE47Q6A
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ8KqlGKyC
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk8SAJJbbC
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOSxd56TTD
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8Wmp90VZw
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBAPaRRg8l
"I can't believe it" she said.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRKsZ9KfQJ
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMh9LVfjL9
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDhaICog2E
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxJLlWrqNs
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgj5fwmKgI
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZjIjFCrPB
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVTRnEt7DI
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdVgl6WNN1
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLA2JSuGGp
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9CAJPOS42
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkEw1Cqqtd
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu6muzFPfm
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCIXhDHbMU
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuib1rPZcfR
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:1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwWQFsGdtZ
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiSUoC8rwy
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEcNvwE8EY
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmyTqWTgZt
"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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQKRsCtqDZ
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPIocZaxCr
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiPauuCsA5
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4I5sim7qU
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5aJrexPxR
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7EBiOLEEc
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb8os3jtWA
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1G1PkxXZD
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO8jnLXLai
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiK63LOdAc
"He seems pretty cool."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2cJl5POXX
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa7EtKGivQ
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DI1pOM57c
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsqhRe8v8c
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4zCcOjWFW
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rFm69n5md
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoMo1hmzMX
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAyE63w8qq
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ6UyAuqhR
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9kfM8o5x1
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTfK8sjZ82
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWysNlp1u8
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNlwiKGzZA
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaNEIiC7pN
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAvFj3RrYX
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeWYBSZU1t
"This 'Johnny' thing?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMMlC1zwUb
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgPtxZxghx
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt5duQwF4W
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsDTM8VrXe
"Why would we?" I asked.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6kA0MUyAK
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3Lw6dMnMw
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0s4IpDtcb
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLBGUWMMa8
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUbD9Nygpv
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJuid2eekl
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozld3OhX4H
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXgsH8r8eG
"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?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPfi9haioA
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjCdLAwCxc
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7siQsnaof
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWvxG1C4UH
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWXiNk9ijX
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmEOWWtNhY
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOB5RodaQZ
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrivMmy4vhZ
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3e4viUzoz
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WXXt97z8R
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzAP70WUtS
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84hkOZPmA5
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsOpwnjPwc
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uuBzCVIqP
"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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3BZSK30NG
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmZawQAt39
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLwS7VakCk
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuRYFHIRJP
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDjeLko3R3
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU92RzBbDv
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRrfIBlMsS
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaf7eS7h9C
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBOdHeH76u
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4duEIXhnf
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8Nv3KMNze
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBdEJNGWEM
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwETkAeAcJq
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SgNcFh5mS
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOptDY3zjFF
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4tu2QntZ8
"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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEMNVLA2XQ
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOp3I5XAKJ
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1auBWDBqBZ
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRdRVrtmiq
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu7lnH9kjY
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzY5LOM87Q
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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiDeNcZsI1
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4GhMwx7GK
"Really?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8qicrq7cr

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."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfJWX1lkFD

I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD2YVjxbSU
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozUKSRLM9S
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bLONHn59I
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpgkhDS8IZ
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi1rs6Nrpb
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3OsKDYKi2
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.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFRj4YH82J
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuXOWhHyMt
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdVMxwChJ8
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQcRT6fav0
"Ya, you too," I answered as I smiled back.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HXh65uRUC

He turned and walked to the elevator. I stood there and watched him leave.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1oaMKq0N6

"Sam, get in here quick!" Zoey called out to me. "You have to see this!"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfZFd52f97

I quickly went back into the lounge and took my seat next to Lee.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3GxFJYaj0
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V5UdwGoT3
"This better be worth the call," I said as I looked at Lee's tablet.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpxPjzO5Oy

"There was a dance video of Lisa and some girl," said Lee as she played the video for me.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbcPDpeVKl
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GN60bd2X7
I watched Lisa and the young lady danced to a popular K-Pop song. There were people around that watched and cheered.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAacDHQAj8G
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFby0iYOUs
"Well, that's cool," I said after the clip ended.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfir16wuMDL

"These guys had a really good time," said Mike.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpomHbAzGLE

"Ya, but with someone you consider your enemy," said Lee.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASwX3Jd3e0
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPRqMg1kqO
"Whatever," said Christine. "We're way past that. We just don't want any drama with him."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNTZhdhqxg
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jSXM5Y0lA
"That will be impossible since he got to hang out with G-Dragon, BlackPink and WINNER who happen to be your friends."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pVNfZtUko

"Ya, good point," said Daniel. "What do you think we should do?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8WYqcPs9b
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dVM3Rewvw
"Do we really have to do anything?" Christine asked.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dKQmBOMow
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbTZ6wYQtt
"Don't tell me you want to think of something like a battle strategy?" Lee asked.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadcUpXvqkM
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV9qYoiQQ1
"Why should we?" I asked. "We have a song to work on, remember? Johnny should be the least of our problems."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRluEPeEZij

"Something tells me we are going to meet him sooner than we anticipated," said Zoey.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk9jcDOEyx

"It seems so."1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeivDgUs9S4

For a moment, we didn't say a thing as Lee stood up from the couch, taking the tablet with her back to the dining table. The others who stood went to take their seats. For a moment, some of us sat, slumped on the couch.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTzCtoSrCd
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYllIW9YVI
"Aren't you guys going to continue working on the song?" Lee asked at the dining area. We had been quiet for what felt like forever.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ni0ny4krV

I tapped my fingers onto my lap and asked, "who wants doughnuts?"1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIJrRYZ4r3
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h9M0qz0SF
"Me," said Zoey and Christine at the same time.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcvG8naaB1

"I should do with a little sugar," said Mike.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7WvihYFEZ

"Same here," said Daniel.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpj7NWdS9u
1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxjWlgU5LZ
The five of us all looked at each other. It was surprising we wanted something sweet to boost our spirits. We needed some fresh air too. We all turned to look at Lee who sighed. She needed a doughnut too.1114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0pb2JJkEH

"Fine, I'll get the car," she said as she stood up.1234 copyright protection1110ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmzNo7eeV9 尼
