After I yawned and stretched on my comfortble bed, I turned around to the side where I could see the window. It was morning alright and a Saturday too. That meant I could sleep till whenever, but at the moment, I didn't feel like sleeping in late since I was already awake. I sat up on my bed and checked the time on my phone that had laid next to my bed lamp all night as usual. It was only 6:55.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhj0xMjGQT
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWONVLCe5c8
I kicked away the bed covers and stood up from my bed. I continued to stretch some more before making my way to the bathroom. Zoey was still fast asleep. I really admired people like her who knew they had to sleep in on a weekend.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqxGpiAQLw
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspKanrxBaq
After brushing my teeth and washing my face a little to help me be wide awake, I went back in the bedroom, wore my sleeping gown and bed slippers, then made my way out of the room into the hall. It was quiet. So quiet that I could hear the noise of the traffic outside as I made my way into the lounge. There were cars honking, cars accelerating unto the road and some people calling out to each other as they went about their daily business.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqIe7eOc8F
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn139QDgM3
I made my way to the balcony, opened the door and stepped out. The air outside was nice and refreshing. I looked down the balcony where I could see the main road outside the hotel premises. Even on a weekend, people still seemed to be busy, most of them, I bet, were going to work. Others were probably going somewhere spending the weekend with their friends and families.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUWgMrdiYi
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGIZbcNWF7
As I continued to look around the town, I heard someone coming closer behind me. I didn't turn around immediately as I said:811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQxRhjmsIz
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJxlAfiX4b
"Morning, Daniel."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBX9OH1sDw
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb3mYboUsf
"Dang it!" Daniel muttered as he came to stand by my side. He was also in his sleeping robe. "How did you know it was me?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgXzf829LC
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiRbuhYGhc
"I don't know," I said as I smiled at him. "Maybe it's because you're always trying to get back at me for creeping up on you sometimes."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BQRrdOfoO
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyuSXfWx0A
"That's because I never hear your footsteps. You're a cat, remember?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSlqC9zkAx
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHrCcrcei2
I laughed. "I know. Why are you up so early?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYal6LceYo
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OKtbNG4gu
"I just woke up. I thought you would be sleeping in too."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsaedOVNQQ
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleVLKjORto
"Just like you, I also woke up."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneeXmykEFb
"Yesterday was fun, wasn't it?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDr7XhkYxZ
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCtv5lKkfH
"Ya, it was great."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupl9FaCmBS
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0hidokcPZ
The two of us continued to look out around the city of Seoul from the balcony. We didn't say a word as we just stood there and watched for a while.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboYAZdT1ys
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODMYfcIud8
"I'm hungry," said Daniel as he broke the silence.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGuiOH28an
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6fCsdWWEG
"We can order breakfast right now while the others are asleep. But no sweet stuff for you," I warned. "You had too much yesterday."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowgd4ZsKRs
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycLOSN6tjd
"I know, I know."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl1zwV2GhQ
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwlqFQy5Rs
The both of us went back inside the lounge and we found Collins by the hotel landline. Hopefully, I thought, he was ordering our breakfast.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO3Iv2FVGt
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXup1ke0P5
As soon as he put the phone down, he turned to look at us.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHITJL6MJGj
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFYZXzZf6J
"I was wondering who was out at the balcony," said Collins. "I was expecting Sam or Lee to be up, not you, Daniel."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rTQdflIro
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItc3Px82j8
"I know, it's an improvement," said Daniel with a smile.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE02AGS3UX
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28PamEdaxk
"Did you order our breakfast?" I asked.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MGKxw21f0
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hVJ3nhndk
"Ummm, no, actually, someone called," said Collins.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCFbelbxRR
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCBss44tNA
"How come we didn't hear the phone ring?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXcGvn1FYb
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uXxFz5VTb
"As soon as I came in, the phone started to ring and I picked it up immediately."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3afLgruVn
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgajfWrB7zg
"Oh, who was it from?" Daniel asked.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB11Wy9Be4C
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHLUykoGeN
"Some reporters want an interview with you guys over your new single with BigBang. And also on BTW."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFAXMK3srr
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNMUXAhpyV
I rolled my eyes as I scoffed. "Mmm, same old, same old," I said.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapTt5mbWnf
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUwJsTvmBD
"Ya, so the phone will be pretty busy at some point during the day, so, you shouldn't mind at all. I should let Lee take care of it."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQc7GgepiF
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgenEHdiu7
"That's if she gets out of bed early," said Daniel. "Everyone's really bummed out after yesterday's event."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR9xA2pqPY
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4A6jn4B2S
"Which still proves to be a success. Have you checked the number of views on your video?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDjZTyIbvj
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u0Y4tcUbL
"I don't want to know right now. I would check on that later. I like to be surprised by the number when I least expect it."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhelG8VyC2
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9W0bXMV9U
"I agree with my brother," I said. "Besides, I don't think I'm in the mood to look at my phone early in the morning."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFYr0Fqppc
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUN3WVg2VV
"You kids are really something else," said Collins. "Okay, let me call room service so that they can bring up our breakfast."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVwGlWyXK6
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqUubH1Kcs
"Thank you," said Daniel as he sighed in relief. "You just read my mind. I'm hungry. Oh, and no sugary stuff for me, please. Sam warned me that I shouldn't have anymore."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqFnTxyJcG
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9cimQKOvT
Collins raised an eyebrow at Daniel. "I know," he said. "Your mum would kill me if she ever finds out. She's as tough as nails."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxOHYrjyCL
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3537yDRwu
"Well, I'm glad that you agree there is someone out there who is way tougher than you."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJEohHafRI
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJkMQ7EsK4
Collins just shook his head at Daniel while I placed my hand on his head and ruffled his short black hair. Collins soon picked up the hotel landline and called for room service to bring up our breakfast.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKfsrpsAGT
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ0PZwwydv
It was still just the three of us now settled at the dining table after our breakfast arrived. Collins made sure to order toast, eggs and bacon for all of us so that Daniel could have a non-sweet healthy breakfast. There was coffee and juice for any of us who preferred either.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LqwXlOwe1
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCKeau8zL3
"So, what are you all planning to do today?" Collins asked as we ate.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DVzw113BQ
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE5y7jkYVr
"Come to think about it, we didn't really think about it," I said as I looked at Collins.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdajzsTACuX
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Eh7Bgw4SU
"Or talked about it," said Daniel.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleWUIhqu0W
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSgPbFh4Uk
"Maybe you guys could do an interview today?" Collins suggested. "But again, it seems too soon and the reporters would really like BTW and BigBang to be there."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oifonqlZe
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPXlxiyPsi
"Won't that be too crowded?" I asked. "We're way to many."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXXW2sHVJp
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT7HCwMaFj
"Please, Sam," said Daniel. "There are K-Pop groups whose numbers are more than the four groups combined and they carry out interviews just fine."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7muHjj79RB
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9Ggs9yLGv
"Daniel's right. But then again, we wouldn't want to make it too complicated," said Collins. "So, I think it would be okay if each leader in each group attend the interview. But I have to run it through Yang Hyun-Suk first. I bet he has also been receiving calls like I have."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsny9KUExz
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITsyfaVnsW
"Yes, but let's not do it on a weekend," I said. "We've had such a busy week and I bet what everyone wants to do is just stay in and get enough rest as possible."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCftaD1lGjn
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5kvZjVnvc
"I agree," said Daniel raising his fork in the air.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFe0tPtQET
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9cdOzTEYy
"Yes, you guys can rest for the entire weekend," said Collins. "But let's not forget that on Monday we are on a tight schedule from then onwards. BTW has to be right on track with creating new songs."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfy1PaD4Qi
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1qeyhUPrO
Daniel dropped his fork after he had just picked up the bacon he had cut out and wanted to put in his mouth. I for one, almost choked on my orange juice as I gently placed the glass down on the table. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2RWY9471O
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23XUboP3DR
"Did you just say songs, songs? Not 'a' song?" Daniel asked.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMVanttVZE
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22tszDxkRc
"Ya," Collins answered. "You guys will have a little album. Won't be more than five songs."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqB5ZiFHR5
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uzhx0smMC
"Five songs in two weeks?" I asked also shocked. "That's too much pressure, don't you think?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSSuLzD7Ww
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcLznSymOd
"I know. But you guys wanted BTW so badly. So, we thought it will be fun if you made an album."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl0cOT9vGb
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUTVSgYLWo
"An album in two weeks. We have to come up with songs and produce them. It's going to take a lot of time."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsSwi77INb
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjvfSJuOa2
"We know. That's why the three combined groups have excellent song writers, producers and choreographers. So whatever happens, you will all be fine. Remember, this isn't the first time you have worked under pressure."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXagPho5CQz
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhXRFtmg2f
Daniel and I looked at each other and we knew he was right. Going through this obstacle wasn't going to be the first time for us, Toxins. We had gone through hard times after our debut turned out to be a disaster and the five of us at that time, had to make it work the second chance we got. And it really did count. Some would have called it luck. Others would have called it hard work. But the five of us called it putting our life on the line.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXAtuuEOsG
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSma6JtEMg
"So," continued Collins as we went back to looking at him. "I hope you will be able to break this news to the group. We wanted to tell you all this yesterday but everyone was in a good mood."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VxFV1kZ3s
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06rLTaiJ75
"And you think telling them now will be great?" Daniel asked.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96mmnAgbtV
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpWygWdqx6
"Not really, no. But it's best you know this today rather than on a Monday when you've had a good weekend of rest."
"I can get started on some lyrics," I said. "But it isn't going to be easy. I need some inspiration to write."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaTUv7wM4o
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcHNoOgTPm
"I hope the inspiration comes soon. You should prepare and tell the others as well. Right now, you're in charge."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgETtAHCE8
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LfFT5FnYJ
"Wait, I'm in charge of BTW?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge0OtACgCs
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvVipAMc8E
"Yes, you're the leader."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2RiNhHbMH
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ePRUZ4RKT
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" I said waving my index finger. "I can't be leader."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6TFcKjvEx
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80IHInT572
"Why?" Daniel asked.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuM3E6Yeiy
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9y2f7vMys
"Because it's BTW and it's a huge group. I already have the four of you Toxins to deal with."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VNDAi5nhl
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO0svFXorI
"Ya, but what does it got to do with the others? The rest are more mature than we are, so, handling them will be fine."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm7jyEvtoQ
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekeyGwLVSg
I rolled my eyes at him. "Easy for you to say because you're not the one who has been given the responsibility."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7FZtHn3zL
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3gK5WChDp
Daniel smiled at me. "Good point."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0d9nq5XOs
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG56hf4lLHl
"Sam," said Collins. "I know you don't want this, but Yang Hyun-suk thinks the same too. There is no better person to take up this role."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME8tDLSset
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZZQuzf0CV
"But why can't it be someone like Mino or Seungyoon? Jisoo or Jennie? Zoey or Mike?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcAfh8NIkk
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghRHhpowTC
Daniel raised an eyebrow at me and so did Collins. Then they both started to laugh.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWPFC8BUtL
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFFq6ZfYDF
"What's so funny?" I asked.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6gkip3dy4
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ6HaF7VDi
"I can't believe you thought of Zoey, but, let's face it, Sam," said Collins."You have been chosen by Yang Hyun-suk and I to lead BTW."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc2SzNdfoj
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9VYnZQwkO
"Well, Zoey's the one who came up the group name. Don't you think she deserves to be leader?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQMI4wTyxH
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaoN2tg5O9
Collins and Daniel looked at each other and then back at me. They knew I had a point somehow.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgm8fBNe3a
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSCBQGKWOu
"We know," said Collins. "But unfortunately, we need someone to push everyone to their best these next two weeks. And that person is you."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn1fGmELvP
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX7i8qUn4I
If I was a kid, I would thrown my arms and legs in the air and wailed to make a point, but I wasn't. I should have seen this coming. We never thought of who should be the leader. We should have chosen amongst ourselves instead of the managers doing it for us.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML3R9Oow0u
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDmFQiH9ST
"Fine," I said as I folded my arms. "I'll make a call or send a message to the others and see where we can start."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L7MCp7ps1
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4Ix0lvQ7L
"And that's why we chose you," said Collins as he smiled at me. "Now, I have to go about my business. When Lee wakes up, tell her to call me."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJaTOiuvMP
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlgVBmwqRq
"Sure," Daniel and I said at the same time.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9O940JlBk
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5IQIxkOdI
Collins soon stood up from the table and left for his room. He must have gone to pick up a few things before leaving. It was just Daniel and I at the table now.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfwSEw4t7P
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nm84kGKCb
"So, how are you going to break it out to all of BTW that we are making an album?" Daniel asked as he continued to eat his breakfast.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7MTedGEWY
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iqZhFB2n8
"The usual," I said as I lifted the glass of orange juice to my lips. "Straight and simple."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NGLhpP7MG
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOPRlciWSp
"Mmm, we're really in for it, aren't we?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcoX47C4an
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ2zFn4P35
"Totally. We wanted BTW and we got it without thinking of the consequences."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVOTruE2Yw
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9SpPbYeVX
"Yikes. I know of one person who might laugh at us right now."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyyjOo6FPH
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaQRg3zSdv
I drank my juice as I knew who Daniel was talking about.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71IA2doym1
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jvSDW8RyZ
"G-Dragon," we both said at the same time.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyfqxiL0uO
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9ADaHedvg
After we finished our breakfast, Collins finally left. Then, Daniel and I both went to our rooms to take a shower. Just as I was done, I walked back into the bedroom and Zoey was wide awake and seated on her bed.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwwfZPUCBX
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HXXL0Ea4o
"Morning," I greeted her as I was drying my wet hair.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNtttSIWGV
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r6KOEzzEc
She yawned before she answered, "morning. Did you just get up a few minutes ago?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoCuiwTnUt
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEU0swicjg
"No. I actually woke up like an hour ago. You better take a shower and eat your breakfast."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCyRrTmwJy
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5B4ut3PnO
"Why? Are we going somewhere today?" she asked as she rubbed her sleepy eyes.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpuFpQn1El
"I don't know. Maybe." I shrugged my shoulders. "Just go take a shower."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2PzPV2GJu
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwRTHCUgUq
"Okay, I'm going." Zoey pushed aside her bed covers and got out of bed. In her sleepy state, she walked all the way to the bathroom.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVXRO5VBOC
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oTwJGoDVt
As soon as she had locked the door behind her, I took my phone that was on my bedside and went online. I had messages coming in from all over. From the fans, famous artists and celebrities who were commenting about the video and all. I had a bunch of email too and two of them came from both my mum and dad. I made sure to reply to them first. I'll get to replying to the other messages later.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gD0mrVwgq
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwbu1PQ2wE
I soon went on my WhatsApp app and ignoring all the messages that were coming in, I went on to make a group consisting of BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER, a.k.a, BTW. Luckily, apart from the four Toxins, I had the others' phone numbers and I immediately added them all in the group.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFITjJtNJri
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LMpCY61IO
After that was done, I went on to post something:811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuA9YN0JPy
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORMk6QbqaT
"Morning everyone. Some of you are asleep right now and would see this message earlier on, but I have something to tell you and I don't know if you're going to like it. We, as in BTW, are going to make an album and I was told this morning by Collins. So, we have to gather together....."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0fc7ZErwU
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ra3pJ5NI9
I thought about the message and erased it. I heard Zoey turn on the shower. I didn't know how I was going to write this. I did tell Daniel that I was going to keep it straight and simple. I started to type and this time I wrote:811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsPa8ukrX3
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkbTVQ5vWJ
"Morning everyone, Sam here. Big announcement: We're going to make an album and we have to start working on it fast. We only have two weeks, so let's make it count."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP3GKJRFCf
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcO6MND37J
I looked at the message again and I realized I sounded like some of my high school teachers whenever they were announcing about a test or a quiz. They were simple and straightforward and I hoped my message portrayed the same even when I knew others might not like it. Besides, most of us never liked it when our teachers announced about having tests like that either. I guess we just had to deal with it.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2gCSr2joL
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffEyGhhk1h
I quickly dressed up and since I had a feeling that I wouldn't be going out today, I wore comfy clothes. A cotton white t-shirt and a blue cotton trousers that wasn't so tight. After drying my hair, I tied it up into a rough bun and I got my notebook and pen in the drawer then went out to the lounge and sat on the couch.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWdMWY2oiC
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpYh6jQVu5
A good ten minutes had passed and as I sat there with the top of my pen tapping against my forehead and my notebook on my lap, I couldn't come up with an idea for a song or any random lyrics. This wasn't pretty. We only had two weeks. I really needed people here so that we can work all this out.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJQ2DXjjGw
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0BroJ8hMV
"Morning," came Lee whom I hadn't heard come into the lounge. She was still in her white night dress with her white night gown.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W2e5Ps7qb
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CCXrIGWBc
"Morning," I said. "Oh, Collins said you should call him when you get up."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBmT4amAQV
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43V6zT3dIb
Lee yawned. "Okay. I really needed the extra sleep and I have never felt so good. I'll just go freshen up and call him."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO6bWiS5Do
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdighMHHq3
Just as she turned around to leave, she stopped. She turned around again and looked at me.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR18DzfVDo
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8nwxE9pUO
"Wait," she said. "You're here alone with your notebook and pen." I looked at her as she paused for a bit. It looked like she was trying to put something together.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdEfYFwdD6
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNvh4ZCObW
"Oh, my. Collins told you the plan, didn't he?" Lee asked, her eyes now wide awake.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjGfNN1kwY
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UfkcA8SBC
"Ya," I answered as I shrugged my shoulders. "Daniel and I were the unfortunate ones to hear it straight from his mouth."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjCO7sr1V9

"I thought he was going to tell you guys, like, tomorrow. But I think it's good you know about it now. We only have two weeks."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pwOfJrOkv
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK5ZS3oCBf
"That's why I'm here. But so far, I can't seem to come up with a single idea for one song."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNndMxzudH3
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL099QrStWj
"It will come around. It always does."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfCsBmSr65
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWBF0pmTRX
"I need inspiration," I said as I threw my head back against the couch. "That's what I need. And a lot of my team's help."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSePIqWWsb
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiiA3lv9Tm
"Did someone say help?" Daniel asked as he came into the lounge. "Morning Lee."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxnVqNBWiu
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXKUOg7a6r
"Morning," Lee greeted him. "Have you told these guys they are making an album?" she asked as she looked at me.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bi51oVMwG
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT2ceJMNev
"I've gone as far as creating a WhatsApp group to inform the others," I answered. "They will get the message and contact me immediately."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqbmp9EIIk
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVqdKWvKr4
"You made a group chat?" Daniel asked looked at his phone that he carried in his hand and checked. "Oh, I see it."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL01Ezr5y2
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQTZFR2x5Q
"Has anyone responded yet?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMP4YFKdeJ
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5HXqzM3Sn
"No, it's like everyone is still asleep. Or probably just ignoring their phones."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAHY3Ff2MT
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqspVzP4ODi
"They are asleep for sure," said Lee. "Christine's still in bed."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdy0O4rjf7
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMDs1tBDMD
"Mike just got into the shower," said Daniel.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBd2052s5o
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gk3beZmLN
"And so did Zoey," I said. "I won't tell them there and then in case the news would make them lose their appetite."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQq9bGwdIU
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiQgNnOKQt
"Good call," said Lee. "I'll catch you guys later." And she soon left the lounge.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67eTsvznY4
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZT2V52Iyl
"Any ideas, yet?" Daniel asked as he came to sit next to me on the couch.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJshzgeMxIe
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g0bj54hq9
"Does this answer your question?" I asked as I showed him my blank notepad.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFKvosb3ox
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zDgkuuevx
"Well, there are also no crumpled papers on the floor, so, this is a bad sign."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHdv14cs8Q
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu1jZcy1qZ
"A bad one indeed. Do you have any ideas?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWhjA4xBT9
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeALvX1VqS0
"To be honest, no."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HNcIGd1cK
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CZYwVpjlt
The two of us sat there in silence, then just when I thought an idea was emerging, it quickly sank deep within the depths of my mind.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJXgryMAjS
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVAPwS0uH6
"I thought I had it," I said as I later on sighed. "I think this weekend was really meant for resting. Right now, I can't think straight."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47yCBK92YJ
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKZbkgDiNJ
"Maybe all you need is inspiration like you suggested earlier."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpDN6hXtM7
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjjDscGVhF
"I wonder where I'm going to get it from. Can you check if anyone else in the group has responded to the message?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HMIZJS57J
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxI7VvD87B
Daniel did just that and still there was nothing.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sFFoToSdA
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcyL3dGnzR
"Okay, this isn't working," I said as I stood up from the couch, leaving the notebook and the pen behind on the seat. I started to pace up and down. "Our first song what should it be about?" I pointed my finger at Daniel as he was the only one there.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ634vbGKlsw
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N1udbElt5
"Heartbreak," he answered. "We haven't done a heartbreak song in a while."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTTRbMPMMv
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87aBbGQElz
I took my pen and notebook and wrote. "Okay, heartbreak. But you know heartbreak songs are easily written when you've really gone through one. Has anyone been in one lately?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5tqD5ZshG
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb11Za4Z95
"I guess not." Daniel stared up at the ceiling and I could tell that his mind wheels were turning. "You and Zoey had gotten into a fight some time ago over G-Dragon, didn't you?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rOhPOun2W
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiPQqAhhcR
"Ya, some of us wouldn't want to talk about it. Besides, it wasn't much of a big deal. Zoey didn't go much into a heartbreak because she believed that I had betrayed her."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RJzOJomm0
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZqfQ0enUJ
"You know, it's not always about the girl losing the guy she likes that hurts. Even friendship with her best friend goes into jeopardy."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbOJbxbJTL
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ0GcOw1Lg
I paused for a minute as I thought over Daniel's statement. An idea sparked in my head.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOod0u02tw
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmCL2d0z63
I quickly wrote it down. Daniel looked at me and he stood up from his seat so as to see what I had written.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzlKyqWqWm
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0ASW97NS1
"Your idea might have given me a better one," I said as I looked at him.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WFxNG8W6C
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UnRQQeJ0M
"Okay, what have you come up with?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfZ6MpbjBF
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbYbOMgDJE
"As I suggested earlier, heartbreak songs are better when you've been through it yourself. So, instead of writing the song in Zoey's point of view, I thought of writing it on mine."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEixMZnHRT
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocpCWxAKaY
"I just heard my name," said Zoey as she came into the room. She saw Daniel and I standing alongside each other.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ddev6dv7d
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBEa9pTPJT
"Morning, Zoey," said Daniel.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOIeUYxt14
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrEAsDQ7oG
"Morning," Zoey replied with a smile. That assured me that she hadn't seen the message yet. "Oh, breakfast. I'm starving."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOPtsSoeb8
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmwqQAGGg3
She settled herself at the dining table. Daniel and I went back to the song.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrgLFg9Ts3
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5blFI2XBx
"Okay, so you want to write on your point of view. How?" he asked.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9HGH87xV1
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxE6ZbX9G0
"You know how G-Dragon and I are always having a go at each other and that at some point in time it became totally serious?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePfwdQF8BL
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNDpcQf3q9
"Ya," he nodded his head.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWoKa0zATu
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9d4BqKZ5Z
"Are you guys writing a song?" Zoey asked as she ate her breakfast.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WEMDF2zh4
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxnapZYTEJ
"Kind of," I answered. I went back to Daniel. "So, as much as it was heart breaking, I think I can come with an idea from it."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpOKcY8Th4
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wIauo9sMQ
Daniel looked at what I wrote on the notebook. "A Sad Song," was what I wrote.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgshZ1ZbEV
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEeOw9jiJD
"A sad song? So, it will be a sad heartbreak song or what?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SVbhRd44W
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGTspnVB6r
"Not really. I want to turn it around a bit. As sad as the song can be, I want to make it a little fun."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66KD54f0M7
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ENNoN4AyH
"Make a sad song sound fun? How?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALMmesP0mm
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4suJZ4qNr
Mike soon came into the lounge and he greeted all over us as he went to join Zoey for breakfast. We all greeted him back.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcLgdHOmxf
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbqy6lk3ZU
"You know when there are those times you just want to sit down and listen to a sad song to cure your broken heart?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K6TPReVM6
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4U1OP4jFW
"Ya, except that sad songs kind of make it worse."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf7lolrhlH
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00032PV2mO
"Exactly. Now what if you want so badly to sing a sad song but instead, you sing a song that will make you happy despite you being broken?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v8fwzam45
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8uMOugSaf
"Wait, so you never used to feel bad after your fights with GD?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pDZiPrJDh
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDzLRXAceA
"I would. But sometimes you just try to find a sad song to comfort you but it doesn't really come to mind."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzcnZAPrGz
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxLBEsROXV
I soon scribbled on my notebook and Daniel was right there, waiting to see what I had written. Before I was done, Christine came rushing into the lounge still in her pyjamas.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0zFNkFkHZ
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ5iHvb0Ih
"We are making an album!?" she exclaimed.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qrYeIauI5
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJlj21XTnD
Time seemed to have stopped when she said those words. I looked up at her and she was looking back at me with her eyes wide open and her phone in her hand.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sLV90ymnB
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeISniqWHQ
"Wait, what?" Mike asked. "Did you just say we are making an album?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAXtZhoZWt
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPiBHJhSmq
"Sam sent a message on WhatsApp saying that BTW is making an album," said Christine, her eyes still on me. "Is this some kind of prank?"
Daniel and I didn't say a word as Zoey and Mike also took their phones and checked it for themselves. Both of their faces turned as white as snow upon seeing the message. They stood up from their seats and their eyes fell on me.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm4Rm5bizG
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPA05Ksuxk
"Tell me this is one of your brilliant lies, Sam," said Mike. "You're pretty good at them and you know it."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2YYNIU82s
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwAaYpOjxj
"Umm, as much as I want it to be a lie, I'm afraid it's true," I said as I lowered my pen and notebook and looked at the other three Toxins. "We had a talk with Collins this morning."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJQ6lkRrGK
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtGsMob25D
"By 'we' you mean-?" Zoey asked.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYKYjRNhBu
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEYSdNHyJh
"Daniel and I," I answered. "We talked about it over breakfast and trust me, we didn't think that it would come to this. But the managers had agreed that we make an album of not more than five songs."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjajIqDv521
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCmbHkTHs0
"Five songs!" Mike couldn't believe it. "We have two weeks and we have five songs to write and produce."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpayrZeL3c6
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VhgYHHHGI
"Ya, trust us, we told him the same thing and we weren't happy either," said Daniel. "We still aren't, but there is simply nothing we can do. We wanted BTW, so, this is what we get in return."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUEgaDRgJd
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUY5fLMEFZ
"Dang it," said Zoey. "And here I thought we might just have a blast with one more song till we leave but instead, we get to do five."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK5GzT5E0Y
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd8JWSlJqv
"Has anyone in the group responded yet?" I asked. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz5mbCnrgn
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZIbGZkHav
"I saw a few messages just now," said Mike. "Looks like the others aren't happy about this either."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zb9LfzIS3
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF0aTvln7E
"Well, Daniel and I were planning on the first song and we really need everyone on this. I have to respond in the group and see where we can meet up. That's if anyone wants to."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sWkyAQARu
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD1vyaXNrv
"Great," said Christine, rolling her eyes. "There will be one person who would be laughing at us because of this."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNRWxURowU
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyJCmGp8VI
"G-Dragon," the five of us responded at the same time with annoyance.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LhEqErzb5
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGuDZ1xi6Y
"Okay, turn those frowns around, everyone," said Daniel. "We have a busy day ahead."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFGZZumZmO
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoVHHffyX0
"Ya, for sure," said Christine as she made her way out of the lounge.
"Don't worry," I encouraged her. "We have been put under pressure before. And as unexpected as this is, I know we can do it."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlybTBEZ2SV
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8eHVkmFwJ
"Tell me you're the leader, Sam," said Christine as she looked at me, standing at the doorway of the lounge.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03uC4roAKY
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXTkHqXglU
"I am." Christine smiled and I saw Zoey and Mike throw each other happy looks through the corner of my eye. At least that gave them some comfort.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY9IQ4B29K
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG29h4iVQP
"Now, go get ready," I said as Christine rushed into the hall. "We have an album to make."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj10JK0m46
