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?851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXyQqw0aMU
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIshgk1DZY
I heard footsteps coming into the lounge and I turned to see Zoey approaching the table.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65EYVulyYM
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hgeia7hVD
"Morning, girls," she said as she drew out a chair next to mine and sat down with a bright smile on her face.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IyE1dGoox
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL89FA7MCcY
"Morning," Christine and I answered at the same time.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze5RNLZl6m
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwIwEHX7w2
"You ladies look very bright this morning," she said as she took a plate and placed it in front of her.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GmX0tunBL
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CNGDJ3AnF
"So do you," said Christine as she took another bite out of her french toast.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpcPVv2Gdy
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXHfrlGhkF
"I guess the sleep we had really worked wonders," I said.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqrxSrqRHE
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMmAQ6HEP7
"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?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeKYfPTV5I
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnULZoeOn7h
I smiled at her. "You've always looked pretty, Zoey."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCLwDTTDSp
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1uA1fdHio
"Morning, people," said Mike as both him and Daniel appeared and came straight for the table.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7ex14suIW
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexpZyMgeFk
"Morning," we answered him. I gave Daniel, a bright smile. He smiled back.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnhuePXOPU
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIoF4KcDtb
"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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDqBAvzyTB
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yfWc3mp6v
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yZrlItxZg
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFFq4L7Joy
"Enough sleep is good for the body," said Daniel as he took the jug of orange juice.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokuSh2OhWz
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXe2KxAzfE
"Are we going to meet with the others today and finish up on the song?" Mike asked as he looked at me.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4nktpbeM8
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2DPjcUiQf
"I haven't communicated with either of the two groups yet," I said.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sXadsDrci
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBENoWtS05
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6edo3wKern
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGQf7v1Ni3
"Really, that's all you can think about?" Christine asked.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJG03aQ0pd
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbzI3c9zt6
"Well..., I guess we were all tired and needed a break. Besides, last night was quite fun."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoS1blxpJL
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxBmi59O18
"Tell me about it," said Daniel as he held a slice of toast and took a bite.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg5TIqR7ho
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1zHA0uSiM
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwqEqhyoJt
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMcGMim690
"We should have more sleeping hours, don't you think?" Mike asked.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi8BKiZmJQ
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsOGktPXia
"With what we are working on right now, I doubt it," I said. "Maybe after we finally head back home."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW75xDCxdDc
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthMms3bD9x
"This album is going to kill us," said Zoey as she leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling in frustration.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueRz8zvsLd
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCHtZbzePt
"You have to check up on these guys and ask if we're going to meet," said Christine as she looked at me.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZh4oRxW3x
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP8dHhehLY
"After breakfast," I said. I took a sip of my juice.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS6svb5fuB
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG8LaaApYN
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx22DgAP7u
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nGSlgFZUf
"All I am saying is," she said, "if Daniel wasn't so lucky, I would have won that game."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULebZqTdMf
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2NJwonJzl
"Too bad you got eaten by the snake towards the end," said Daniel as he smiled at Zoey.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJZJCJRY2x
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IfywUW6TX
"Sometimes I think you cheat."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeO59REllA
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaqEhMGTtX
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohWLRMZeQO
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhABimg2f5
"Morning," said Collins as he and Lee came towards us. "I see Zoey still hasn't gotten over that snakes and ladders game."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6Op4WX9AL
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd81tIefDp
Zoey looked down at her empty plate, not daring to look up at Collins. "Not really," she said.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HqzxSw6Dr
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ528zcBEZJh
"Will all of BTW be meeting today to continue working on the song?" Collins asked as he looked at me.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4nRenh6CP
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasFCsJj52X
"I have to communicate with them and see if it's possible," I answered.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W4r1ANPmo
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZKS7OwN4z
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7llYD5zaVz
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUdNbRZh51
"I better go give them a call, then."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLFbMvHRsS
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQH6Sg7ygb
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs4ACQSDSW
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclcBOZ2FAK
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMbSmgW4EU
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQMIBAmgAA
"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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I7N1JPd73
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sBaRLKWrd
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf3komP0Lz
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48IlJlsLu6
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhKwJ0UjVn
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyfKEmbpe5
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?851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm5vaF6vrv
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT4VRvY88F
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VlGkonRWC
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT3ktPvr1n
"Hello?" Seunghoon answered. He sounded sleepy.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp9dJ0VSHf
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohu1u4iaw7
"Seunghoon? Hey, are you still asleep?" I asked.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG1QtcNaRV
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzry1selp2x
"Sam?" he sounded surprised and more awake. "Oh, I didn't notice it was you."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfuucAbK9Z
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOq6WdbqIz
"Are you guys coming to meet us here at the hotel? We have a song to work on, remember?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloKW3fbEZU
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wVSTihPdc
"Oh, oh, ya, we do..., ummm, eish.....," I heard him mutter something in Korean. "You said we can meet either today or tomorrow, right?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI1vDjYVOD
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawDxSUZlg5
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwwNIB0iou
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ8nRBTEtS
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYzvD2db8Q
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jxocd5D4x
"Ya, sure."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK1CxB4oGO
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5QIZKnYjO
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4AGt9ozVR
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKjS2w47Hs
The door to the room flew open and Zoey came in.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURH6QnuKaA
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ0kXQfEmV
"Anything?" Zoey asked.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8kZ8uwVGY
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2gBkuNqiS
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbgxxetfUK
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLqoBsTcmN
"Okay, well, we can wait."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC1YQZfaGc
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLJDw2IzzN
"Maybe we should cancel and meet tomorrow. Seunghoon was still asleep when I called."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1THiPjo8dK
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNL7kidZLI
"We could, but Yang Hyun-suk wants to hear the song tomorrow."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8v4nI92M1
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiY8CvBSXr
"We can tell Collins to tell him that he will have to wait a little longer."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLboMYmN6Wc
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfXLpUwpiV
"Geez, this is Yang Hyun-suk we're talking about. He wouldn't like taking orders from a missy like you."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzSlmwIUtP
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEfNt7VVU7
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just a suggestion, not an order."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe27CXx5Dg6
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiClJQpYaV
"Ooh, you know what I mean," she said irritatingly.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl72afL3PkM
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmOUCr85U3
"We can't work on the song without them."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95FPyJDkrW
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoBGA5ORuT
"True, but you started to work on the song way before we all met yesterday. You're a good songwriter after all."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm8SBjQF0f
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhSwZi3Ynl
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NEVqb5j3i
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXZoLXawGf
"Huh, funny. Collins was talking about it with Lee just now. You two seem to think alike."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJFKEpNeIW
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CjbKtM2m6
"Yay, we will be working on one song," I said with less enthusiasm.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwl1LA3XUz
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZSAi6dyXf
"Then get your guitar and notebook."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCeNcyBFoj
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzwgCuUnuA
"May you help me with my guitar?" I asked. "It's in the closet."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cgQTPU8lo
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEemB73e7H8
"Really? Why do I get to carry the heavy stuff for you?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbn9ItaT2N
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72E7D3iG23
"I never let you carry any of my heavy stuff. And besides, the guitar isn't so heavy."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfGGspjeaS
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0Hdura3zI
"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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQIajLtG7y
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoWqeLr4XW
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn7xb6GSWA
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL41ebrbzBg
"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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnTXsdiQUL
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGFMFctfyH
"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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RwIsQwWTa
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxJYx5ghzx
"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?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qkkjky6TG
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwebCoUWUY
"Am yet to receive a reply," I answered.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQoH8ILROp
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzwJgq6GUf
"I hope all goes to plan," said Collins as he stood up. "Yang Hyun-suk is really looking forward to hearing the song."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbE3sa2fbW
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNanxArdAOd
I gulped. Something told me it was best if the managers heard the song another day.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGk5J2bvir
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPVEQd1jlG
"I actually think we need a little more time," I said to Collins.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTb0lJ0cNC
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmyadVR6F7
"Really?" he raised his eyebrow at me.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg0UmZ9Eit
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DQV28kLas
I felt Zoey look at me. She knew what I was doing. I had no other choice but to stall.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHP87n4nYb
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83SBewHUNj
"Yes, really," I answered.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHtwLv9lfh
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18satAlREr
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOfC2kIGjo
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAdIjOcNxS
I nodded my head. "It will be a great song, trust me."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjcrpHN7zM
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4riqM6DhP
Collins smiled at Zoey and I, then left the lounge heading for the elevator. It looked like he was going out as always.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoVjw0wRVt
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAqv1pRcKp
"Well, that went well," said Zoey after we were sure that Collins had gone.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UpgcPvETp
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMq2IU2WLY
"What went well?" Lee asked.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTmNv4Dpfp
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv63GD5PPw
"Nothing, nothing," said Zoey as she went ahead to put the guitar on the nearest couch and smiled at Lee.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4MxG2w60V
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q6YHSy7L7
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOgeNShTiz
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnCTO4VU38
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVibPiXx41t
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOqarmxL9y
"Any news from the others yet?" she asked as she stood beside me.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPg0e5MDjd
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn6gskgj5i
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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtjymm9F4b
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZhHEYJy8R
"Bummer," she said as she went over to sit on the couch. Zoey soon joined her.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bHTRFuHmF
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dkoIiXnqZ
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWySf8uNczU
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkVlhC4tfb
"I thought we agreed that we were all going to rest and then meet up," said Christine.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7x7aoewwh
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMooYyWp5U
"The sad part was I suggested we meet either today or tomorrow," I said.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV7tA8gePm
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8Z80fURPn
"I think I was the one who suggested that," said Lee as she winced.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSiRFxNZ84
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1I9wpXKXD
"Judging by Sam's phone that should have rang minutes ago, we're likely to meet tomorrow," said Zoey.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerujjN4l6H
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5WgQhr6SR
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3gNTKVetV
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICMmQxj5uC
"Ya, you're right," I said as I slumped my shoulders and lowered my phone. I sighed.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0TdTzhJkX
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYXyZ1lhvs
"If these guys are taking a day off, don't you think we should as well?" Zoey asked.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFH4v8AZpq
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazmvQ7P5jJ
"No!" Christine, Lee and I said at the same time.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD3rlQToTY
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3ZjOJtxyl
Zoey's face was one filled with disappointment. "I really wanted to go shopping."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeiCsiGoUU
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6CtQ2CNKf
"If they won't come, we will work on the song ourselves," I said. "I'll just text them-"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfW1htVot8
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtT6VQ6AhR
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1JGrhX2BE
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrrt19idxN
After pressing the send button, Lee asked, "was that Seunghoon?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2Z1ETZNjf
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW89f6YfakC
"Yep, and he said they aren't going to make it."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbegJnrLU5h
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOd2zdwNHn
"Well, you saw this coming," said Zoey.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxWO0sYyAH
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4izKlsP3OV
"And you did well to stall the managers," said Lee. "That will give you some breathing space."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9SKGydMjk
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnABVVXz86
"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?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoxci8X0es
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp6BuYR0jX
"I can go call them, they are in their room," said Lee.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm8G20q4KO
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5kcVNKqYf
She didn't even have to leave the lounge as Mike and Daniel soon appeared.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvnlEDkX4O
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwo9jvMgZa
"We're working on the song already?" Daniel asked. "Aren't we waiting for the others?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3VmDI5W3l
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy0MLUVYnc
"They won't make it today," said Zoey as I sat down.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAsMtUPTsM
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhfd7DwuhQ
"Mmm..., how come?" Mike asked, sounding puzzled.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEf5Zfmurb
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YA4ukUA2X
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi8lejUQ3Z
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvREVPdEIp
"Bummer," said Daniel as he came to sit right beside me.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0j0oQXESz
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1DJJgijrE
"Not to worry, we can still make progress without them. Shall we begin?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOqGsgJ8WS
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqUE2aTHHD
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA6HQxYTUQ
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09DS8RNgzp
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyalDWGKG9

"Who's calling, Sam?" Daniel asked.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojE6O8gSRc
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT7BHbUFlq
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXaPmz8k4t
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfswwirhICN
"It's him, alright," I said as I took the phone and picked up the call. "Hey, GD."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPomJgGqrm
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sr6tv1JVM
"Hi, I'm in the elevator right now coming to your floor. I'll be there in like 30 seconds."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXqqqoKoew
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09czJ3khRi
"Wait, you're....," the line went dead. I stared at the phone.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPk6LX6x5k
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCTPb5dQba
"What is it?" Christine asked.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfijHnrv8A
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IlVfFouWj
We heard the sound of the elevator doors on our floor announcing the arrival of our visitor.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELf9P165h1
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7OkBLrxwB
"He's here," I said.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdORPACwyGG
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhKkGEfvGb
Lee who sat at the dining table, working, asked, "how come we were never informed at the reception of his arrival?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyF6kWZgxM
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8MaJ6KGgN
"It's because I told them not to," came G-Dragon as he appeared in the lounge.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSx30mPWNb
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhpe7fkzgn
We turned to look at him. Somehow, I wasn't surprised that he was here.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJPTL9ZUBK
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6WAOKQgQF
"Hello, everyone," he greeted as he came to where the five of us, sat.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAgMZtQEOR
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVOETTXaD4
Four of us, including Lee, replied to his greeting except Zoey who said, "how come you're here?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjGKTGhKfy
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41wSgPucIe
"What's wrong with me being here?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi350aDsE49
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S4dEjheCo
"For someone who went partying last night, you seem pretty sober."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRogIMIUdb
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGVqVnokbl
"Oh.., how did the party go anyway?" Christine asked.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVe7Ll1Ot9
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnmed4SDsz
"It was great," he said with a happy grin.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaq1ioyDZ1
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW9HGjo7c9
"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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF88k5gVya
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBpjWWnVw4
"Normal?" Daniel suggested. Though he was only joking.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7nqesTAUB
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxpnPYVgYv
"Wait, you think I'm not normal?" G-Dragon asked. He almost looked offended.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDuPpiVFgZ
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCsx3SEvLm
"Nah, that's not the word, Daniel," said Mike. "It doesn't matter anyway."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvwHMrVQIg
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr14NPzL3x7
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcYdVpeMda
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9uOqQTPHc
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQuTjgUz3D
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtcF4vIZTu
"Did you just say 'we?'" I asked as I raised my eyebrow at him.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7skex4I2F
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU61rhLDIp
"What?" he asked as if he hadn't heard my question. I felt like he did.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGteLER0CnG
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs8EUeg0xN
"You said 'we.' Who else were you with?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5A7GWR5BJ
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoq8ARr10Z
"Oh.., just friends, very close..., very good friends," he answered as he nodded his head.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pCi4X3hsc
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuxgrEy3ht
"Okay," I said as I slowly nodded back. "I'm glad you had fun."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzWWHSPwap
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzFmVl904n
"You guys should have come. It was amazing."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc07Yo1hqq
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPOD7ENzFG
"Too late for that now, isn't it?" Christine asked.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRHPyFYD5o
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9m2qJDmE3
"Yep, too late. But you could still see the pics of how much fun we had."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2zbhSjpQ8
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCWlwLOeEJ
"I bet there was plenty of booze too," said Zoey.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeTOm1Hmol
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sWldkmrcL
"Plenty," said G-Dragon with a smile.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6XaYVUYtO
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaIrEzwOGw
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....851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyUS2k0Yim
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpeE6A0btE
"We can check the pics later," I said. "We have a song to write."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDolhcK5Z7J
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCpTNlYC2O
"The others aren't here yet?" G-Dragon asked. "How can you work on the song without them?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vz9zfuWG2
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AFhqRxSmD
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBms06gMVq
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF43vYVcaX
"Oh. I think that's fair considering that they must be tired from the party."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8WHZwRN5v
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1C9wdR8Zn
I looked at G-Dragon, and so did the rest of the Toxins.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdelDDwM7S
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrCBKM5p4h
"They were with you at the party?" Daniel asked.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAY2beflXT
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmhxpxrJfH
"Huh....?" G-Dragon now looked like the confused one. "I thought you knew."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtl6Q8lJMf
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr0AV13ZG8
"How would we know when we were resting yesterday and we were completely off social media?" Christine asked.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y2fMV7iab
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbtxCsEW7V
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFVXUPu60p
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa1ajBqArm
"You dragged them to the party, didn't you?" Zoey asked as she pointed a finger at him. "You're such a manipulator!"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33xoFH5x8A
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiGE8SDGZ9
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2XZ1hzuD9
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU5tBZeIO4
"I knew it!" Zoey said with a look on her face.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5vdwT2SQO
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4N7okJ6En
"But ninety percent of the whole convincing thing was on the other guy."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TbQvUDrpN
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmved2d2fq
"The other guy?" Mike asked as he raised his eyebrows.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje9MamQtdc
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBFpNMsnDn
"Who's the other guy?" Christine asked.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45JcbNlbSF
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehBV11zR9g
I knew there was something fishy about G-Dragon's earlier statements. He didn't just go and party with "just" close friends.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LC0SZfUjD
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6R6iFHUkF
"Tell us," Zoey demanded when G-Dragon didn't speak.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oVSdxuH8R
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxtuoRtL2p
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7XSX9Ddb2
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa0BuelIwc
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA06BiMMnv
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA330zDIID
G-Dragon squeezed his eyes shut in fright. And just like that, we knew it was a big deal.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT0GAY2Q2X
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG9zBgWJbW
"Goodness, just tell us, GD," I said. "We have a song to work on and you're just wasting our time."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqC6GdqEgT
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mThWsM35M
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0elWGJhro
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriH9AE4mxe
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa6bZ5u6sz
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP1P9sCoMM
"GD, sit down, please," I instructed him and he did.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8QTySiOr0
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJVl1wl12R
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKICyWwIUE
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhA1clO1Vk
"Okay, okay," G-Dragon surrendered. "I'll tell you."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpsgIwozXM
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gzb34Kcxt
"First question," said Christine with her arms folded. "Who were you with downstairs when you left our floor yesterday?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnqdQbwNso
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOebT7fhLl
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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa4glHZ2eG
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vUx6c9cDu
"We will make sure to bury you in a lovely place, promise," said Mike. "Now, spill."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD6fIj8pf6
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDQEf6RrwU
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..."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsSCuddkwH
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDcC0qDA5R
"GD, we don't want to hear how you all met," I said, "we want a name. Who is the guy?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5979qknu1W
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBb2ii0qOy
"It's..., it's..., Johnny," said G-Dragon. He immediately looked down at the floor.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLUEQeyJlu
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClOWWR37Xr
"Johnny Jerkins!" the five of us said at the same time.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mPyrNJLyD
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nu6iJyROH
"Yes," G-Dragon as he slowly nodded his head, still facing downwards.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPioPq7ejUs
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tGC6DGsQH
Zoey fell onto the couch next to G-Dragon like she was about to pass out, her hand on her forehead.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26NTGZ6HcP
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOayuLBeKc
"I can't believe it" she said.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhl3XcizBm
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UYJPP1EQP
"That explains everything," I said, as I looked at a certain part of the wall above the couch, my mind far off.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8DBH5XAuv
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87xAr8rv6j
"No wonder they couldn't make it," said Daniel.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhLh5DztPP
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8k5DUlH6z
"They didn't just go to the party, they were hanging out with Johnny," said Mike.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3jsVSbqNk
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdac5VKrUk
"Ya...., you won't like what I am about to show you," said Lee behind us.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2SfSKNO4E
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UtQLYVvAD
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKFTD1Lvkf
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmK7ZChe1Y
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ883shpi7
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs9StJGWA5
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:851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLd6Ie9AMu
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcWikOtZ2g
"You guys had a party on a boat?" I looked at G-Dragon.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQze2gpDXO6
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF9qXLuwTJ
"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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCs05Mnoer
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxL4yahNwG
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiriMfaUEF
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35G5zV9K4x
"You guys had such a good time," said Zoey. "I wish I came."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsowIInkwkg
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshBl6mAezU
"You see, you guys should have tagged along," said G-Dragon.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO3c5ckQRM
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X9bUh6rmz
"And hang out with Johnny? Heck no!" Zoey detested.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuy4qShv6i
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsld4N2Ku1t
"He seems pretty cool."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpksXETWbAW
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwLgjCClBc
"That's because you only just met him," said Daniel.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx9FfEdWj7
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAxAi2j3h9
"You won't be hanging out with him more often, will you?" Christine asked.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpvVuyBPJ5
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsPi4LVgl2
"Nah," G-Dragon denied. "I guess all that was just a one time thing."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQObnszSFU
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnkRUPtV0S
"That's what they all say," said Zoey. I imagined her rolling her eyes when she said that.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3TlLDnuzh
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTJiJYVWr1
"And let's not forget, he's in this hotel," I said. "Avoiding him will be tricky."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrblczeUmQ
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1Gc2l59kd
"Don't you think maybe you guys are taking this thing a little too far?" G-Dragon asked.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZdKXaVuCz
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjtw57n6DS
"What thing?" Christine asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the tablet as Lee continued to scroll.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmLtBBt4am
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWj9tOgxMi
"This 'Johnny' thing?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwSZI2luEk
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4ZNN70yPR
I looked up from the tablet at G-Dragon and I knew I wasn't the only one.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE9mRlGfGG
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucu425oDZt
"Why would we?" I asked.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOwtj7jg8x
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFmcH0b3DN
"You talk about him as if he's your worst enemy."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJFzh2jqnE
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdenqucvUG
"Look, we don't hate people, well, maybe some," said Mike. "It's just that some people aren't worth hanging out with."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw49hoWEDR
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EY2uOPZCX
"Because of his actions back at school? Please, that was a long time ago."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXFYiVVPh8
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK0gACKweg
"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?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQb19YdMq7
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn74xiVHXOq
"How ironic," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIni8wC62x
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMPxcit5pb
"Leaving already?" Lee asked.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa85Xzge3n
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7i437l77F
"Ya, I really should. Just came to check up on the progress with the song."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeGLqkJVTE
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2SBr0eRxl
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYycTq4Yq8
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv1WdxWr0R
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I said as I stood up from the couch.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4eo0HUe2O
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2GTzfWfJy
"Ok," he said and he turned to address the others, "I'll see you guys later."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUWgL8yerV
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RrD7LOZWH
"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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcf5QKhP8K
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVXedF7qln
G-Dragon made his way out of the lounge and I was right behind him.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFbJRVW8KR
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq0xaZ5DI2
"Well, you seem upset," I said to him when we were in the hall.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYH7MDVms2
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9qLwLbZkR
"No, I'm not," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2koEDPEVMe
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7aTuJIuqE
I held his shoulder and he stopped walking, his back still facing me.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zN8ze3FAI
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUaYVgAFe5
"I know when you're upset," I said as I dropped my hand. "I think the others know too."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEj6LMx2US
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08SCRuVdGL
He turned around to look at me. "I don't get you guys at all," he said.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC98SZtfCdl
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwKZbC5dQK
"What do you mean?" I folded my arms.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvPIjdebWR
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVobRnQNyr
"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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZxfyIbDTf
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RY4MPu8FZ
"We aren't perfect, you know? We have our emotions too, whether good or bad."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ1PoXdd7Q
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyUeMNrFcs
"But why hate on Johnny so much?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKxHmmgTb9
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBnAMC4jl7
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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaohzyyKWPe
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgWhuveE1i
"Really?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KoYIHdkFn
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmXmFScqmg
"If we really did, we would have called him worse names than 'jerk' now, wouldn't we?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AiDfSWcDH
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0Zzb9W6H1
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."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1Ux2hKmzW
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1IgBqUbL6
I sighed as I dropped my arms. "Some people aren't worth mingling around with, Jiyong."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOyU8GYRIw
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90oNJKOwBs
"Is there something you aren't telling me?" He raised his eyebrow at me and took a step closer.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9v7Ls3jJe
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcrBiILiLH
I shrugged my shoulders. "Kind of," I answered. "You're yet to know everything in due time."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTkYXeLCmk
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CVtkqLF82
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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z4Zw68TPQ
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQtG44Ga8k
"Okay, I'll see you around, then," said G-Dragon as he managed to smile.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMqEx7PMv0
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY38EeNvZZ

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.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8rC4y9b1I
