Sam's P.O.V:330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPbTNH1J0z
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn3JqsUyo3
With Lee now back with us, we managed to get back to the studio, but it wasn't easy to get the guard away from the door. We had to make it look like the rest of us hadn't left. Daniel had to pretend that he needed company to go to the bathroom, and we made our way back into the studio. Lee had to wait for a few minutes before appearing to make it look like she was really coming back to the studio. Now we were all back in the studio, including Seunghoon, who had escorted the guard to the infirmary. He had come in before the rest of us did, and he too had to think of something for him to get in without the guard seeing him. Lisa and Jennie took care of that.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CZBRitDwh
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dxVN7m97E
As soon as Lee entered the room, those who had remained behind in the studio were excited to see her.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzXaOOCOWE
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ozD1H8IYf
"Lee, you're back!" Daniel exclaimed with joy as he went over to hug her.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGdx0Gt42b
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQqLXsXCID
"Wow, you act like you all thought I was dead," Lee said, blushing at the gesture.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEZCuOfZGV
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC17DYMPojr
"You were running away from Johnny," said Mike. "Of course, we would worry."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUolHkvxWNV
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEtMaafWUj
"I just hope they have caught him," said Mino. "He really gave us a hell of a time finding you."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NR1VSMURg
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVvkl1syPi
"I should've asked," I said as I was seated on the couch, still with the walkie-talkie in my hands.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwkwuFBY9L
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhErY7X1oa
"Do you think they did?" Jinwoo asked. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFz6FTkc2Y
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5ImxrYOx1
"Only one way to..."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRRIuriW9d
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeP062SB0Z
Before I could even finish my sentence, the lights went out, then came back on seconds later. We all looked at each other. It looks like the power is back on.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3sVoaDGD8
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9haloOonW
"Well, it's about time," said the studio producer, who is still in the room.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7laNVpPqbn
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCajjxODfP0
"If they have captured Johnny, won't that mean the lockdown is over?" Seungyoon asked. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVkmiWMcfi
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRggGoiI3ZQ
"Maybe," said Sam. "We should ask the guard I spoke to on the walkie-talkie."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64r71kthCQ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgSRdwS6EL
I held the walkie-talkie in my hand and went on channel 2. "This is Sam; any update on Johnny, over?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dQfd2M2QT
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYTuQxotHB
I waited for a response, but all I received was static. Strange. I felt people’s eyes on me, wondering what was going on.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0XnR07KUh
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw10iWC6cj
"What’s going on? Why isn’t anyone responding?" Jisoo asked. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqDsMKfvZs
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK24cieSSgS
"Your guess is as good as mine. I'll try again."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEmhhh2tYI
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rXOu1Z40b
I did just that, and this time around, I received a response:330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN2MhbYlDf
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewUfLMelkM
"This is Kim, over. The suspect, Johnny, hasn’t been apprehended, over." 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fIxoubsdb
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwysGiDj9b6
"What do you mean he hasn’t been apprehended, over." 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6HJ4zvr5O
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4yzp1L99y
"Turns out no one cut the power line; there was just a technical issue, over. Lockdown has been lifted, over." 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPR7bTSAX7
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrRKUuXml0
I sighed before clicking on the walkie-talkie and saying, "Thanks for the update, over and out."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjESKS9mKu
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkIFpO3dSg
Well, this is interesting, I thought to myself. Johnny didn’t cut the power. Everyone around is silent, looking at each other. Many eyes fell on me, as if I knew what all of this meant.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sb65JOv4a
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN0DZFk7ly
"Okay, what the heck is going?" Zoey asked out loud.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkOZE1u0hb
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdMQvCHeaD
"I’m confused," said Lisa. "Didn’t they say someone cut the power?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbDUNyPlOh
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43AnXVHa9K
"Perhaps it was all just a misunderstanding," said Seungyoon.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIdmQd8whJ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUzxVdPA8T
"No way. When it comes to Johnny, there’s no mistake," said Christine.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwbXybdvyh
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdOP5y9HzL
"I agree," said Zoey. "Until they come here to give us a reasonable explanation, I’m not going anywhere."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoAEQ60ITR
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFySaew6I3
"Yeah, I was chased on one of the floors and a couple of stairs, just to get away from him," said Lee. "There has to be a mistake here."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkV5C89hjx
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAFmfZsoE3
A knock came at the door, and Yong-guk told whomever it was to come in. The door flew open, and the guard came in with Collins and Yang Hyun-suk behind him.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5UIE9L0cf
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfUyXWkqAs
"I would like to inform all of you that the lockdown has been lifted, and you’re all free to move about," said the guard with such courtesy.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf3Jh3ZmTK
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx0un7ZycI
Most of us in the room didn’t know how to respond to that when we had already received the news. A few of us responded in relief, pretending that all was normal. However, many weren’t afraid to show their discontent.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrly9mWVp2M
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHdQzc5m5a
The guard excused himself and left the room. The two managers looked at each of us, and something told me they could feel something wrong in the air.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg6zHrGvnV
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWgzn7GLvM
"I hear the song is ready," said Yang Hyun-suk. "But you all look like you’ve just received the worst news of your lives."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlklMpDopG
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwjl9rgBK7
I remembered that I held the walkie-talkie in my hand and soon hid it behind me after turning it off. The last thing they need is for us to be caught when The Toxins made a promise to Collins that we wouldn’t do anything stupid.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXKSFenfCo
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQenbMlVke
"Nothing; they are exhausted," said Lee. "You know how hard they’ve had to work."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMaGYIKHn0
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkdPeMS9id
"And there was the issue of the power cut. I hope that wasn’t much of a drawback."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XVreVA7wo
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ve0Xugq93
"Not really," Seungyoon answered.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YN4JGduWQ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte4SBW24z7
"Well, it was when we heard that Johnny might have done it," said Zoey as she twirled strands of her hair in an absent-minded fashion.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZrhjKcZwS
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLI93s8aZt
I wasn’t the only one who gave Zoey a look, telling her to keep her mouth shut. Lee, Mino, and Mike also did the same.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVQDpcyyfB
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUhKAEM8mN
"Oh, yes," said Collins. "When the electricians went to look at the problem, they were informed that one of the workers saw someone near the main power source and made the assumption that it was they who did it. But they later discovered that no one tampered with it." 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaQaNWELbZ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlzff0UDJJ
"What?" all of us muttered.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RSzd4PDuc
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy4ibXEzBg
"Yep, so there’s nothing to worry about," said Yang Hyun-suk.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4PeaEDOSN
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQPzY58ktq
I can’t believe this, and I shake my head in disbelief. I looked at Lee, and she had her eyes on me. Likewise, I wonder what she's thinking. Will she tell them that Johnny actually chased her down the stairs? Would they even believe her? They wouldn't take it lightly, that's for sure. But who knows?330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPJ4oet5oX
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqWzh0NO69
"But didn't they say someone matched Johnny’s description?" Rose asked. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1C16g9ZK6
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k3swRe0BQ
"Yes, but all that was cleared up," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I hear he came here with G-Dragon, correct? One of the workers must have mistaken him for an imposter when he was only heading for the men’s room and got lost on the ground floor."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjIRz9vJhh
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcHL9g2tHY
I still can't believe this. Have we been played here?330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFlTOz0J2M
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSwWWl9YDf
We went back to looking at each other. I was expecting one of us to open up and explain that what has just been explained to us isn’t what we know. But none of us dared to open our mouths, not even Lee.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIJytreCV2
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTXbFMkPVt
"I think he did it," said Zoey, not afraid to speak her mind.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNvTvXPwlG
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RGD0evrQl
"Well, we really can’t start pointing fingers when many of us weren’t even there," said Yang Hyun-suk.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvGhBMAQWJ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyj7QdA3OR
We continue throwing looks back and forth. Someone has to say something. But then that would mean us Toxins getting into trouble with Collins. The only one who could say anything is Lee. But looking at the situation, I don’t think she’s going to.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfZhnJf1ba
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lFXUwLGQt
"We should just get on with it and listen to the song," said Yong-guk. "We’ve been here for a really long time, and a lot of us would want to get some fresh air."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdduxYNA7c4
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGeLfpipxn
"Oh, yes, we really should," I said, thankful for Yong-guk for breaking what would’ve been an endless cycle of trying to accuse Johnny.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGOuwZl2YL
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7S7i8AGFs
"But wait," Zoey pointed out, but Christine, who stood next to her, held her shoulder, warning her not to say anything.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYCcvp348f
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETfEkObhEb
"You were trying to say something, Zoey?" Collins asked. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6evgm2ic2
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxVxknPz2N
"Nothing," Zoey said, shaking her head. "I wanted to go out for some fresh air, if that’s okay."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TkncTBrJL
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe8efDJLVb
"You may," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Being cooped up in here for so long isn’t good for you. We’ll listen to the song just fine."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv0hL8uqbm
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYQceNncJv
"I’ll follow," said Christine. It’s for the best that Zoey has someone with her. Right now, I’m scared she will leave the premises and look for Johnny herself.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAHo4TbufT
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeYr4AO8PB
Apparently, many wanted to get out for some fresh air. That only left me, Yong-guk, and Mike behind with the managers and the producer. Lee also thought it was best to leave under the pretense that she wanted to get us something to eat. As much as I wanted to get out, I had to stay in case anything happened.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSUklvDUV9
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLo0pCow45
Twenty minutes later, the managers had listened to the song for almost the fourth time. I wonder why they did so, because they left Yong-guk, Mike, and me a little nervous. Did they not like it? Doing it all over again isn't doing us any favours. The rest of BTW is already downtrodden as it is.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbKl6qF5tp
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjzVn8TcYa
"The song is perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk as he turned in his chair to look at the three of us who stood behind him and Collins. "I couldn’t stop listening to it, and that's why I kept repeating it."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VEKpHMHWe
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpZSGE1nwj
My heart felt like it would give way after what I'd just heard. This is great. Yong-guk gave a sigh of relief. Mike punched the air in triumph.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYcLWZaz9i
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLgVKoAtWV
"You all still have a lot of work to do," said Collins, turning to face us. "If we didn’t have a delay with the power cut, I would’ve liked that the three of you worked with the song-writers for the remaining four songs."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U335Xavi7
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw03hfprL6J
"The day is pretty much over," said Yang Hyun-suk. "So I suggest we leave that for tomorrow, though we would need a lot of your effort, not only from you three but the rest of BTW. That means we’ll need you all here early in the morning." 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4RDeDQkIJ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcjODDzQXA
"That’s fine," I said. "We need to tackle the album as quickly as possible."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzVwXAyilr
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtEjIxTBA1
"That will be all," said Yang Hyun-suk, standing up from his seat. "We’ll meet tomorrow. Make sure to inform the others."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8Y5S5l0WR
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWWRbYX6q8
"Of course we will," said Mike.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFF8utMyny
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2Qfjo2OTk
After the two managers had left, the three of us left the studio, with the studio producer heading downstairs. We didn’t use the elevator in fear of what happened earlier with the power.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdn53B7Di8
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUWvO6qF5c
"What a day it has been, huh?" the producer asked.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvyHKLQvl0
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt083gBZhLs
"Yeah," said Mike as he scratched his head. "After finding out that Johnny didn’t pull the power, it still surprises me."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTmXVu8AAS
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5dwtNYZEW
"I can imagine how everyone is coping with this," said Yong-guk.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fIQ1hpEUW
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfwJfviQ8P
"Well, they just have to suck it in and forget about it. We've got more stressful things to worry about," I pointed out.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XLuqIIg2x
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcVsbBwikK
After going down a few floors, the producer stopped on one of them, saying that he had to stay behind in his office to take care of a few things before calling it a day. We said our goodbyes to him as we continued our way to the ground floor. I wonder if the others are out there like they said they would, getting some fresh air.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAebqK25UoM
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsok1YpjQW
We reach the ground floor, and it’s pretty much empty except for the receptionist, who waved at us when we reached the desk. We waved back, and just as we’re about to make our way out through the door, we find Seungyoon and Mino seated on the comfortable couches of the waiting area, each having a cup of vanilla ice cream with sprinkles.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A2nowHseY
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zUalc2XfW
"Hey, guys, you were going to miss out on the ice cream," said Mino when he spotted us.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUalRrG9n9
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcP3WMry0H
"Where did you get them?" Mike asked. "I now feel the urge for something to cool me down."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwwQG4voHG
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSTSjaYb9G
"Outside," Seungyoon answered. "Lee thought it best that we get something to cheer us up. An ice cream man just happened to be passing by."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSGKhEuugA
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VeHJRDQn4
"See you guys later," said Mike as he rushed out of the lobby at top speed. I’m surprised that he doesn’t look the least bit tired.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX4M4K8M9I
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ56SJoSFHI
"How is Zoey doing?" I asked Seungyoon and Mino.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dhLqyHkyq
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiF6Z0SUec
"She’s upset, as usual," said Mino as he took a spoonful of ice cream and looked at it. "We all are. But for her, you already know how she is."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx44KhUiCz7
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5m0Qkwjy8
"For a minute there, I thought you were going to say that she almost left the premises to look for Johnny."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF9iYVFaT3
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr9HW2hPQE
Seungyoon and Mino shared a nervous look. "Goodness, she did, didn’t she?" I asked. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruA25OYE5s
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PiYLJ2ggC
"Well, it took Christine and Daniel to stop her," Seungyoon answered. "Daniel had to be the fastest to block her from reaching the gate." 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUGOyR23iw
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DVN83NIwU
I held my forehead. Now I’m the one who needs ice cream.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrWFsTY8j2
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhPVWsLDzk
As though reading my expression, Yong-guk said, "Let’s step outside."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8abvk2yrSw
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cr6pg94vY
I agreed with him and started to make our way out. Seungyoon and Mino got up and followed.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwTrRdtsGO
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3K16QWLiH
We found ourselves in the parking lot and had our eyes fixed on the gate, where the rest of BTW and Lee stood beside an ice truck. What a nice time to have ice cream, I thought. We soon joined them, and Lee was the first to notice us coming.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z52VPZ8UW
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXHrbiGIMl
"Ah, Sam, Yong-guk, just in time for some ice cream," she said. She had her ice cream in a cup as well, strawberry flavour. "What flavour would you two like?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqThLnZqVM
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcx76hzWo8
"Chocolate," Yong-guk and I answered at the same time.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajb1z0P4Zx
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75pXFshv26
"Ooh, you both like the same flavour," said Jisoo. She had an ice cream cone, caramel-flavoured. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEKcD9J3pH
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3waEnp0z2C
"Pssh," said Seunghoon, who was by the vending window of the ice cream truck getting ice cream for everyone to go around. "I like chocolate too."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pBKNaLrqT
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCCeDBLurY
"But didn’t you order mint and chocolate?" Jinwoo asked. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKYw0I1r8b
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS84mbWpqba
Seunghoon punched Jinwoo on the shoulder. A few of us laughed.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4MvqT3N9V
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tTlrKjwGU
"I’ll get mine on a cone," I noted. Yong-guk also agreed to the same. The ice cream man gave a nod of his head and went on ahead to make more ice cream.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufNpwZurH8
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM1sF50H9A
I turned to look at Zoey, who stood with Christine, Lisa, and Rose as they licked their ice cream cones. She looks calm. But then again, she’s unpredictable.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YQn5z8jJg
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQe60ojk7O
"How is Zoey?" I asked Lee, who came to stand next to me.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOhDaPSdJX
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oERUC2BeS
"She’s calm, for now," Lee answered. "Christine and the other girls haven’t left her side after she tried to walk out of the premises."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw4g8G9gDo
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3izsFLI7qu
"We just need to keep an eye on her. Oh, and before I forget," I now addressed everyone around me. "Tomorrow, the managers want us all here early. Don’t say I didn’t warn you."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoCejytk9X
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsHuKjHmE0
"But did they like the song?" Lisa asked. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaVoXt6dhE
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuqodLMJ3b
"Your manager liked it so much that he scared us by repeating it four times without saying a word," said Mike, as he had his blue moon ice cream in a cone. He licked it afterwards.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKVe0roJt4
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzXDHN3Q9R
"They didn’t ask why we were acting weird, did they?" Daniel asked. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vj4dYX7kD
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUWD5Nu9Ac
"No, they didn’t," Yong-guk answered. "All they said was that we do our best tomorrow. And that means forgetting what happened with Johnny."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvE48z0rNl
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrd2g8C79n
No one spoke for a moment. Right now, we all don’t know what to believe. Did Johnny really cut the power? But he chased Lee on the stairs, so what’s there to expect? As usual, someone broke the silence.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ywajc6i9D
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm3BL0nYMd
"I’m sorry, but I still think he did it," said Zoey, going on to lick her ice cream.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B8mOOuTM7
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS2NG3joIH
"Of course he did," said Lee. "He chased me down the stairs."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhcZSoGoZA
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF5ThJjRhK
"Why didn’t you say anything, Lee?" Zoey asked. "We would’ve put all of this to bed."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1QWNheLWW
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4EfU5XwfC
Zoey sounded unreasonably calm, and I don’t think I’m the only one who noticed. Everyone had their eyes on her, giving her their full attention.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBBOyXGg5Q
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuv553AbTt
"The fact that I didn’t contact them in the first place will raise questions," said Lee. "And something tells me that if we were to bring Johnny here to question him, he might well defend himself and say that he had been in the underground car park the whole time."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtOe5NinIo
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LnZFMrwuT
"I don’t think so," said Mino, who was almost done with his ice cream. "I think you should’ve said something all the same. He chased you down the stairs, for goodness sakes."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWQfta3mfw
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfRkhF5BVF
"Yeah, but did he cut the power?" I asked. "I agree with Lee. Something wasn’t going to add up if we did tell them."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvlpxeyppO
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPGoecE4lD

Before I could say anything, Seunghoon passed down my ice cream and Yong-guk’s. I thanked the ice cream man as he gave a small bow before turning away to clean near the ice cream machine.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcx3fLNSCS

"For starters, how did Johnny know where to find the power source?" I first asked. "Usually such places are closed off to anyone unless you’re an electrician or something. So how did he get there?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHOR0Ujf8e
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g3lxp22JE
"He must have broken in," Lisa answered.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnPanPV25i
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RNiDcc65m
"If he did, then someone would’ve seen him through the security camera before the lights went out. But it turns out that all of that was an electrical fault. Maybe he found a way of dodging the cameras, and if not, then we should assume it was nothing but a normal fault."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVfhMmB852

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadorYTRFpM
"I think you’re right," said Yong-guk. "But what I don’t understand is how they thought someone had cut the power and gave out a description similar to Johnny's."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8QPH8TY7b

"I’m wondering how Johnny managed to pull this off and get away like nothing happened," I said as I licked my ice cream. The ice-cold rush to my head made me remember something, and I soon snapped my fingers.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDkXBVeTPR

We all remained silent for a while, thinking it over. If you ask me, we shouldn’t be thinking too much. Whether he did it or not, Johnny is somewhere riding along with G-Dragon, enjoying the last rays of sun for the day.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx9tmPpUXD

The BlackPink members made their way back into the YG premises after saying their goodbyes, as did the WINNER members. After Yong-guk and I finished our ice creams, he also took his leave. The five of us Toxins with Lee went back into the YG premises and waved at the BlackPink members as their car drove by, as did the other car with WINNER. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFza5Pk1Fe5

"Yes, I do," she answered. "Why?" 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpDBAzzfWD

"Let’s go and see how the guard is doing. We left a little parcel with him too. Anyone want to come?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE1oNNYHNY
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSAGqgKfX1
The rest of The Toxins agreed to follow, and Lee led us back into the YG building. She led us to the floor where the infirmary is. We found the guard, and he seems to be doing much better.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCuKWez936
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DeLbeEN2H
"It's just a sprain; it will heal," he informed us as he sat on one of the beds in the room. The place is pretty much empty except for the nurse available, who is looking through a cabinet in the corner of the room.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1PEKd4cwZ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25sH3SUTQe
"And what about the kitty?" Zoey asked. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4SisBkPZN
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5WBEaD5fa
"Kitty?" Daniel asked. Mike and Lee also looked confused.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRACs0W5Yz8
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx26iQQMkM0
"While we were looking for Lee, we stumbled upon a kitten," I answered.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf82WaqF4bf
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhHIRweE0L
"Don’t worry, I didn’t forget," said the guard as he pointed to the floor. Our eyes spotted a cardboard box under the bed. Mike bent down to pull it out, and there in it lay the black kitten. It stared nervously at Mike.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T9NPiZe3E
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFds1fDHohp
"I hope it wasn’t much trouble," I said as Mike lifted the box.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK4vBXqccG
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIomBGoE6r
"It didn’t even make a sound," said the nurse as she passed us to head to the door. "And there were many people in here at some point, but it kept to itself. Pets aren’t allowed in here."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5d1YzaNk8
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkIbOr7fYu
"We were told," said Zoey. "I wonder how it got here."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53ROxK8uc9
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHxEJ6nnSt
"I guess we will never know," I said. "By the way," I turned to the guard, "did you hear that Johnny wasn’t the culprit?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dOtPOnxgG
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIEn6DbvWm
"I did. I've got to say, I still don’t believe it," the guard answered.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5ZdbAk0CP
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiHdYrPrvq
"That’s what we think too," said Mike.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eHFmAVXlC
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIMyMZNbiN
"Do you think they must have made a mistake?" Daniel asked. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZGeFp2F02
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgnIN3VNph
"Well, we were told that there was a person who matched Johnny’s description," explained the guard. "But it turns out that Johnny had gotten lost somehow and found himself heading to the hall where the power source is. So when one of the workers found him, they must have thought after the power went out that it was him who did it. You know, you can never be certain with foreigners. But when they checked the source, for starters, the room was locked, and they found out that the connections were faulty by accident and forgot to inform the security guards on time until later on."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ2NCh8Dv0
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV48jZFuRF
"So, you guys were on a wild goose chase for the wrong person?" Lee asked. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSSAU04clB
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUirW6MKDXX
"Seems so. The locked door and the faulty wires add up. Johnny couldn’t have gone in there without a key to begin with."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1v9ERKCKb
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJbdZkvsVF
"Then what about him chasing Lee down the stairs?" Mike asked. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjYJ3FOcDM
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOJKfodi59
"Probably he did that just for fun," Daniel answered, shrugging his shoulders. "He does love to do that sometimes. And I bet he pretended to be lost after the guards found him."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXA9C2vJ6t
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7KkbGfQzj
"Well, I guess that clears things up," I said. "It’s best we head back to the hotel."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsInnbD7wN
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N0bZWlfwQ
"I should be heading out too," said the guard as he stood. "Because of the little accident, I’ve been given some free time off today."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDIOcQjO0m
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUDvRNvLWv
"Alright, maybe we will see you tomorrow," said Lee.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncUF5m3wyP
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSVFeXHJfJ
We bade farewell to the guard, not forgetting to hand back his walkie-talkie, and went downstairs to the car park with Mike carrying the kitten in the box. The others couldn’t help but admire how adorable it looked.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6PLaqpIs6
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZBBlgeauK
When we got in the car and the driver took us back to the hotel, we couldn’t help but debate whether Collins would be okay with us taking care of it. We would probably not go back home to the U.S. with it, but it will be nice to have a pet around for the time being.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrsmkz9ueR
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ15sjM5evr
We got to the hotel at five in the evening, and we were tired as hell. When we got to our floor, Lee made sure we went straight to our rooms. Zoey and I took the kitten out of the box and placed it at the foot of my bed. I made myself a mental note to order some milk in the evening for the kitten to have.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSWI3xd10E

"I’m so tired," said Zoey as she lay down on her bed after removing her shoes.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nQLwUVWyF
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlRBjT6ey9
"Same here," I said as I had a long, blue scarf in my hands that I got from my suitcase and folded it to make a pleasant, warm resting place for the kitten. I knelt beside the box as I did so.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJceP9S9oFJ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAfRTNTNF0
"You still think Johnny cut the power, right?" Zoey asked. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeG4QEZjir
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCVobMXEFf
"I don’t know," I answered as I lifted the kitten and placed it on top of the scarf. I made sure to make it more like a nest so that it was covered on all sides. "After hearing the explanation the guard gave us, we might have been wrong all along."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW8yO6H0cM
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeUAdBEKfc
"I don’t think so." Zoey leaned up on her elbow to look at me. "He did it. And as much as you want to deny it, you know he did it."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6fH7D72Sj
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qUNP0tSmI
"I didn’t say he did." I stood up from the floor, shaking my head. "Let’s rest, Zoey, okay? If we keep talking about this, my head is going to explode."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPb8Ob0SpS
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMz8gn4NgG

I sit on my bed and remove my shoes. Afterwards, I laid down, and it didn’t take me a minute to fall right into the abyss of sleep.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hI0sh408H

I slowly opened my eyes, and I didn't have to look at the window to know that it was nighttime. I turned and groped around for my phone, which I'm sure I had left beside me. Lucky enough, I grab hold of it and bring it close to my face to check the time. It's almost eight. Supper will be brought up anytime soon.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxtB6gxslA
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqxKnvHl5M
I sit up and try to rub off the sleep in my eyes. Likewise, I yawn as I stretch out my arms. I turn to see if Zoey is awake. She has herself covered with the sheets and is facing the other way. It's best that I don't disturb her.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDAZGj3dHo

I get out of bed and go to the bathroom to relieve myself, but not before looking into the box at the foot of the bed to see the kitten also fast asleep.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDY0PE4fCo

After I came out of the bathroom, I decided to go to the lounge and make a call downstairs to the kitchen to bring in something for the kitten as they brought our supper.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lVO4oX16t

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5JPrRk5dt
Lee shook her head. "Not yet. Just like you, he's also working hard to push this album forward. But he'll be here. I called him a few minutes ago."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ1A8bFkrs

"Zoey, wake up. Dinner will be here soon."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvThGAEzhi

Zoey didn't budge. She must be deep asleep, like she always is when she's tired. I call out to her again, but there is no reply or movement. I groaned as I came closer to her bed and grabbed hold of the bed covers.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7S0otoG5s

Zoey pulls the hoodie over her head and sighs in relief. Leaving the hotel was a big deal, and she managed to pull it off with a simple disguise of wearing the hood of her black jumper over her head and big, black sunglasses to hide her face. She looked out the car window as the car continued its way to downtown Seoul, hoping that the others hadn't figured out that she wasn't in the hotel yet.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vga04Xdx0
