We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowc68DU2gZ
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJRe4bvrnJ
We stood outside the gates of the building and were allowed inside by security. The building was four or five storeys high. Yong-nam continued to lead the way till we went inside.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCXg36n0R0
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEHXSe5ymz
We were in the reception area and there were two female receptionists at their desk. Yong-nam greeted one of them while the other was currently on a phone call. Yong-nam talked to the free receptionist and as soon as they were done, she turned and smiled at us welcoming us to the agency as she spoke in English.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiJcvMUnC6
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuKvrMC86Q
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARCe5Cqwza
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJMceWiJX2
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFfq2asBWM
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtBvIduHlM
"Come on," said Yong-nam, "the others must probably be wondering why I've taken so long."
Yong-nam led us to the elevator a few feet away from the desk. He pressed the up button and we waited for a few seconds til the doors flew open. Just before we stepped in, Zoey held us to a stop as she stood in front of us, blocking the way to the elevator.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9NdwJUUqQ
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb359CzBznc
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmSt1C6JrO
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPoJUQlvlI
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOcp6C0wxv
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tuBnJBGS2
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssLHZHDxf1
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CzIH0z1kR
"Oh, brother," Mike muttered as he stared at the ceiling. "Not this again. The elevator is going to close if we don't go in."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NW8PMZCdc
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXMex5ueRk
"We're seven, Zoey," I said. "Don't worry, the elevator will hold us just fine."
"Okay, just checking," said Zoey with a smile. "You remember what happened last time, right?"639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAKE8285Wc
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON7B4EcjHJ
Us Toxins would never forget the day when the five of us and the other five BigBang members got squeezed up in the elevator back at YG. There was barely enough room and it was at that point when we thought we would plummet to our deaths.
"Okay, since there's nothing to worry about," said Yong-nam, "should we get going?"639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskhBZ7OOLD
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslj8NxxLiJ
"Yes, please," said Daniel.
We all went inside and the elevator doors closed before us. Yong-nam who was closer to the elevator buttons, pressed one of them and the elevator started to move upwards. As soon as it did, the soft melodious elevator music started to play.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rm5eZkmNP
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSYbqQstgS
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTZyMFXgHs
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjfBj5sJcS
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVXzMypLEz
Soon the elevator came to a stop and the doors flew open. In front of us stood a long carpeted hallway. Yong-nam stepped out, leading the way as usual. He told us where we were; the recording studios.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoqmeIHNXx
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus6xDNztH7
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwTQLAWxbX
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLV649VTa3
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OmeyWJyZx
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6KQy5vaov
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYRkWujZaE
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VdsFTRKYq
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx1TiPngqt
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n58rx9Abr
"We were also working on writing our song back at the hotel," said Zoey, "we needed some motivation, so that's why we came to buy doughnuts."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqQGFYVSdY
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW7uZTsidl
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fv0SA13by
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadHMPcXNoo
"Kind of. But they really work on Sam here," Zoey pointed her thumb at me as I walked behind her. I rolled my eyes. That's so not true. Well..., maybe with chocolate.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwMyPUS73t
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9LJGgbz5R
"Doughnuts aren't really my favourite, you know?" I said as I looked at Christine beside me. She quickly noticed my eyes and flushed a little.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gxkGZS0lq
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6smGUCoycN
Zoey might like chocolate dip doughnuts, but Christine "loves" doughnuts. During our school days, she sometimes wouldn't take the school bus home just so she could buy doughnuts at the nearest store.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQZUO70BPA
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrKn3h7bjv
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWpYgMIQf0
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKIuJc2Gz6
We soon stopped by one of the doors down the hall and Yong-nam knocked with his free hand. For a second, no one answered.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPGpGbGAXN
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGIKITMIfu
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1bVCTGQ3e
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQyrzcTenB
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaKVzTYhpw
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ584NE6Nvn1
It took a few seconds till the door finally opened. Daehyun was the one behind it and his eyes weren't fixed on us as he seemed to be engaged in some conversation currently taking place in the room. But soon afterwards, his eyes focused on us that he did the unthinkable.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OK0V4B50w
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNJLE8Xiqq
He screamed.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48NVTp2FqT
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXigUhExQ48
The door shut quickly in our faces. Well, that's weird. Everyone of us in the hall, looked at each other with puzzled looks. Did Daehyun just do that? I could understand if he were a girl, but a guy....? I'm finding it a little hard to believe.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUjIRkB5QK
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxDixwVmFV
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XXSSlD1pp
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLO4uT7nsT
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQzD3zW21S
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWlf9Qz71R
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xyQagF2uh
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZigRPPOYKn
The door opened again and this time, it was Zelo. He gasped and I thought he might shut the door in front of us like Daehyun, but he didn't.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6839bGrOPR
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCaIA3z85X
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6JD3uvaSU
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE2JxWWbTb
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3QuxB9ZRB
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3xqGQrpM7
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr5Z24Ued4
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE9Myrq2dn
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLkZLFqY3e
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb1HNYcpzE
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhG37lm2Uh
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oZcwTb9IR
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZoqewSKwg
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4635G0q81T
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTGtrk7B9S
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMOt2Vjwvi
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lGOidomIi
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoowaevOsp
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgvRKneTXr
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEi4vta27F
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqwpfmYJuH
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UUltHVZm4
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLwviGknqy
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJEME8lAXN
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2FR7mWYX4
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExJFNoeauy
As we entered the room, I noticed that the place looked busy. There was the recording room on the other side of the room and the sitting area looked a little messy with papers all around and Young-jae was picking up some of the mess.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcungsdBvxU
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZII7ciGtAp
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfuLdjQcKJ
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyutMz6QtbD
"Nonsense, you guys couldn't have come at a better time," said Young-jae as he threw away the crumpled papers in the waste bin located at the corner.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglzEgD4m2x
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2Pxj5e9m6
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwetMt2ErIx
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L4eGEX0f8
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTrIbeK66W
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yUVp76XmF
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wa3wqnKlr
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3DitfDpix
"Same here," said Zelo as he came to stand in between my two brothers. He's way taller than the both of them and I tried not to point it out.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMtC2QKsgu
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrxRECc0Db
"Please, sit down," said Daehyun as he came towards Christine and me, held each of our hands, and dragged us to one of the couches next to the one Zoey sat.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhOfdI56PM
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR7bqeOQhH
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCZVGIzBfk
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsxKU7iHGB
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxZyuoJifP
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHQKEnYmLu
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1o2MU6j2g
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN1yahwlWh
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDEhDoQPG1
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaO2zQUsyx
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy29qTzuEkh
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxlKPwWaYv
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6hvfqCbnx
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfsDaVmceC
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDysIwnHDN0
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5bSVjgZc5
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EqZdJD50y
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsAKCaK8Es
"I second to that," said Zoey.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriLyjryPHM
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwugO0YQvPi
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDb89cay6a
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaYAwryiTm
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH0yk6RFP9
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr3F9wFcaO
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70aSw8kZUI
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfwq7DHP9q
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSHEUWyfF2
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFRpVYh0DO
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauiEB7PauM
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJxFbPyeBQ
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXqNPrJCYe
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTI8qxFdCc
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP6U9qPb1h
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6a5Om9N4o
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSUvU8VudP
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHTuy2s3OK
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwokV81DdLe
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenSTTDRjUT
"Yep," Young-jae answered.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyX0y7hO3x
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FQrCzuTif
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6kyb0OrXo
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jHKKBL2r4
"We've all been there," said Mike after swallowing his first bite, "it's hell when you can't seem to figure out the right lyrics."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOdpHLiqqA
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUUHw2xjH9
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zzamfJicU
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKwFbqrwW3
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRrkPBVGyF
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNlB0KrvfO
"We were actually supposed to do it as a group," said Daniel. He had just finished his first doughnut and stretched out his hand for another. "I mean, the whole BTW. But the others didn't show up."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuR2eg0fWE
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8AsNl5iWM
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh0UY8J56m
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2Mq9cR1lg
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACwg3z7Ras
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgvA7bzmts
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaydDGzy4X
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopIVhCXGsh
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jWaPKHSP0
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRi3QtEfln
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF43QnN8rq
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8vSOrPFkL
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy55idI0Hxo
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TcTDTfeqh
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOjknHkHsR
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c9eZX7UC6
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGivU3G8skt
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z3YCs57Xa
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKPJ0LoYm9
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRQGZCW8ES
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefb2odK5l4
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQHTFFXt8m
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIdeC7F8q7
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKEcpXT21n
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojOjxBeYke
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenT7bJvyh1
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5oAFIKr6f
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t7Ny6qKZF
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYH3sbhxHs
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaneI8How8
That's right. We had agreed that we weren't going to stay here long. I also shouldn't forget about the other program. Maybe now was the perfect time to tell the other Toxins about it.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4co2jvBXMu
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWzZAq07kr
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOSPojFAGw
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLcfZMFRId
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XaYjla5hg
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k5RIO4UHK
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtt0xTR0Oa
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWOfp0IEpM
I took another doughnut from the box, wondering how I'm going to break it to the others that we had plans tonight. But as soon as I straightened up to say something, Lee said:639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6XZ5qW1WB
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSzQeo01FQ
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5CFl09IMQ
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fr0V11OZZ
I looked at her, and I am glad that no one noticed the look on my face. The others around me muttered happily to each other. I raised an eyebrow at Lee wondering what she's getting at.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1jOjCtOn1
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHizcjCQat
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLkeUkDEaH
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0L9zPkNvQ
"Yep," Lee replied with a smile on her face. "And if you manage to make a tremendous amount of progress by the evening, you might just receive a reward."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3hbHyc7jt
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOebBqmixr
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qdXg8sDqH
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfVij2HoWR
"What reward?" Christine asked.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyONAHt9tM
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyuodnFGXO
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j0xU83R7e
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMrTFipA8X
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQVpk9oPpm
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM7LXPWqna
Lee quickly swallowed. "One thing's certain, I'm neither your bodyguard nor your babysitter. Oh.., don't worry about Collins. I'll just tell him you preferred to work alongside B.A.P for now."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw3T3jBZpe
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL439rBJRk
I gave Lee a look and I knew why she's doing all this. We tire her out a lot, so this is her only chance to get us out of her radar at least for a few hours. Who knows, she might just find herself at a massage parlor, relaxing. She's taking advantage that she knows about tonight.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktxAMuSuNT
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMANw9YbSwV
"You shouldn't worry about them, Lee," said Yong-nam as he smiled at her. "If they cause any trouble, I'll be sure to handle them."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8rPf9fMaO
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0YukEJTZp
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UE4NI5K2d
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo8U8MzmEB
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR69VVxV91
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaqtFyEKkE
"I believe you, Yong-nam," said Lee as she smiled back. "I doubt if they would give you any trouble, that's if they will be serious about receiving that reward."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o5RUNziXN
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4zr1sna6v
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy9gXqxjed
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydJyPNGqVE
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyi7iQYj1A
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrqBuOB7F8
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlPYZpvKpn
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYhtKuJ4Mb
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgfrzI1C1D
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxwOd0udCG
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9b3L0EnQh
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGdzM6dPmF
I sighed again. Maybe I should just ruin this for her by telling the others about tonight. But..., staying here and working on our song with B.A.P didn't seem like a bad idea. Who knows, we might get the lyrics we need and we also get to help B.A.P with theirs.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujoeE0c6NA
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3xEbH5uro
"We'll do our best," I said.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAXhyC3OSN
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIuLjB8Kf5
"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbpR9yR3xo
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6hSFY28HG
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFimsJQHQKy
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCYDyeJfmL
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerEAPl8dFI
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZQ9vYDYFp
"We all did," said Daehyun.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMthe3fXeXT
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvWK2jk9h6
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJMxddiuRy
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG9PmmcSHu
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtyT72Yr82
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpyRrhauyu
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPGzMHOVRS
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xSacGFuV5
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1itPB0H2dw
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHerbGgXgH
"Oh, you don't have to. But if you insist, then okay," she said and turned to look at the other Toxins. "Be on your best behaviour, guys."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAM0W4RSNN
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJLBAEByVm
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxpU1g89oi
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGD1Ie2O2v
"I really hope so. Come on, Sam. See you next time, B.A.P." she waved at the B.A.P members and they also did the same.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yhoCwaxoZ
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi5ebsCOYK
Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDCX9uW1Pi
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEmZnnm6b4
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7D3vlky5L
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqWFtjCnYm
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vSGTC5rGR
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJtT1SkvAJ
"No, you just did that because you wanted us out of your hairs for a while." I gave Lee the I-know-your-plan look.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ100nYkZSkR
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTVoMg80lD
"Wow, you really know me that well." She chuckled. "But you can't deny it; leaving you here to work with B.A.P may be just what you need to make progress on the song."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56odpUYjJ7
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sZBGaKJ1s
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkHU05f3PK
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnJyJsLbql
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6L7S5ASUY
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4YAkVYgNU
"Sometimes you need to motivate people by saying such things," she answered. "It might not seem like it, but you saw how excited they were."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BijlqKrjD
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuj16KC4sF
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkZTEWlnZL
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl6Ny2XlsP
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn5C0s7XEc
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIZeYI8HoM
"You'll see. The others will work so hard, the song will turn out great," said Lee as the elevator doors slide open in front of us. "It's good since you guys already have the idea. It will be more perfected this time around."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5kyrGFLMF
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjswY7sZ0Z3
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpOvso7SLp
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7fmrbK1b3
"You do that." Lee walked into the elevator and she pressed the button to the ground floor. She soon looked at me and gave me a thumbs up. "All the best."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZCublUJFK
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJcy2aUQXK
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa4kFw8Yhv
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJooEAuvx22
I made my way back to the studio room and just before I reached the door, I took my phone out and sent Daesung a message. As soon as I was done, I put my phone away and entered the room.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAhlCr9jrC
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJPjNXIh4h
"Good, Sam is back," said Zoey.
Time stopped for a second. Just when Zoey said that, I knew something's up and I had to prepare for whatever it is.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLms2HoaSi
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q2xYm7lwW
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bjUsr86D2
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8rqDhvou8
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp1lof3qt2
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGsltMUaFG
Just as I thought. What a bummer.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9igopJUKH
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeGC5zfO1I
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VW48vvCI8
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplxEePAlCx
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglI85Fv1k4
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmd4zt8jMF
"Too fast," I said as I slowly approached them. Everyone else seemed to be back to where they sat previously except for Yong-guk whom I found standing with pieces of paper in his hands.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFREY670rVT
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8zACcQO8R
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfLpqUDMjC
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iOJFajlV5
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgp4Tso3oq
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqFiqGK9G8
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlpu7IgDaT
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3JwXdBWVD
"These guys were about to start arguing," said Yong-nam as he stood up from the floor and came to stand next to me. "So, I had to calm them down."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXwnxn8tR6
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2LRvYY0yg
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21lrEORyO8
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcopExLwt5
Mike scoffed with his arms folded. "Ya, you can say that," he said without a care in the world, yet I felt a hint of annoyance in his voice.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVF14SvqNW
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezelFUMHtt
As much as I wanted to know what Yong-nam might have done or said to them, we had to deal with the main issue at hand. Whose song are we working on first?639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9TLwHVQqW
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAlvqhMfMO
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLynBAqSJz
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf1tXeoOIU
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQcNn9ZAJD
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOo3iH9ktK
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8OFVprQP6
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTokGcg0dLK
I scratched my head as I began to think. Both groups here are struggling to come up with lyrics for their song, so which should be worked on first? If I suggested ours, as much as B.A.P have us as their guests since we bought ourselves here, didn't seem bad at all. But B.A.P had the idea to offer us help with our song first.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJUEcyccYo
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGatvQD4CW
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaBp0685XV
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr345TwRoRM
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy3q8I1WoC
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpx1gPpuJX
"The fact that they are the ones who thought of all of us helping each other, I don't see why they can't have their song worked on first," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aEtorngIe
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yPtz6Od35
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk31nF8pE07
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIyFFjFiCt
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcP7NzhhpC
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IdWcyoNtY
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppTTzaC58N
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg5omjofpl
Mike and Christine didn't argue either. The rest of the B.A.P members smiled at me that I felt like looking away. Their smiles were suddenly making me blush for some reason.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD9YxFwZxZ
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWbPDl4HmO
"Okay," said Yong-guk, everyone's eyes turned to him. "We can start working on the song right now, but before that we have to take note of time since the Toxins aren't going to stay the whole day."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUWyCMYwX7
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrCFpDZ3K9
"I agree," I said and Yong-nam beside me looked at the time on his watch.
"I'll be your time keeper," he said. "And this is close to 11:00 AM. The Toxins leave this place close to 4:30 PM. So each piece of work has at least two hours and thirty minutes."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MrdzioZ4x
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKCYN8E9Fh
"Sounds good," said Himchan.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7m972ETfC
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFPvOq9VLL
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CGmZhNli5
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yYjnYs6wW
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoivjoYIao
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QivWvMnq8
The whole room had a different atmosphere to it. I could tell everyone's excited and geared up. This would be a great experience for some of us. We, Toxins already worked with BigBang on our single. But now we get to work on two songs and with a different group too.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdLZG0xVEt
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OfTsj5hC1
I turned to look at Yong-guk. His eyes found mine and he seemed to have read my mind as we both smiled at each other.
"Let's get to work," I said.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19WwPYMi7B
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLSbxkAuyu
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.
