We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubXBHx595g
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z9DEShLXI
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE07QSxXRvK
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzotCS8wIz
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimCU0yCQ9T
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAoIAT1cFy
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6xEysMvvW
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmMgs2HNIB
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqAJpAeaEM
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodVyGeq2IR
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUup2prL8F
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vNY9XYLCa
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTvuO6grah
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCLp4zytPR
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq7NBUCMfc
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBKWZKApj1
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqC0uDuDBh
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAUZSGR8Aw
"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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0nFfEfBlN
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5Jv2btdwV
"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?"748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnIqea71Ve
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKAHn3HBJ2
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?"748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKliBBicbvj
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSLENLPMMA
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a4LuBRSJE
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNoMryxECB
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡModwKEBmnu
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJKs2uHrWp
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARzvM8QOzS
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVxLo5YubS
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPP4Nx1v62
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY1HFCEa9F
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07pUoeBvT6
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS04zCigi86
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lDnYC3jyK
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwRWHcQsnY
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK91WgseEf
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGqOGmPuTh
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx77bsZk79
"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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfItCitSvqQ
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLsACmVS0G
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1JO4OA9GC
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4azT62zCSF
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7xP4ZDtNe
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bsAJ9UNfT
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg8Jqb1vQE
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVIwbxLKHB
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vEaWSNfpz
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU91BfBWIcw
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6PwGGuqtC
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgelG2ROHQw
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEABajZ36T
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcub6v6CkCn
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OK1P8Ron4
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuikh9S9wkn
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhhxJgLgan
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa19HmTRzqx
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb36sYg7okX
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkIhafMIOx
He screamed.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19QQwirO9G
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1UcYrjD2B
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWcrSKzq27
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dnkgjWem4
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5S2Bt0npD
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJu0BDyw2o
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4hBeUdV71
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvccTp5r9v
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72dEfDiS7O
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqvlHWRLgw
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCnquOIZH3
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYMxv3OhAo
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNvCs6D4hV
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSwoPwIojh
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob28kUnuDt
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMcWgg0swU
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLk8k86Izg
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydFCJ3PqS2
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxXtrwd2gL
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHGcQEYBlg
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20sW5lXbvq
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghEMb9MF1H
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T6jDnyEPG
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQshqpPET5
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjseqawuE3
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBI9etqDcP
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3q7WiWRmr
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHuJzuncw6
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPKpwdkASb
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcNWjHmvbQ
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7p9ABJWIb
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxuCbKHWe1
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL863tPDsZ
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokUqMOAIMW
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xRMIfUxHj
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuvNtfZijt
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr6IzRbiiX
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmqOgWdVjQ
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe0bANwbb5
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK3PHmezUx
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ123vrfX3C9
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RnpOGb4Wl
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhrMMgSvNe
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWjejhRRo3
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQTNbXBZnR
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWcXfa1BDP
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m7RiQUeUi
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fdEkS8iHi
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85CdH0W3kk
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYZTv85AF5
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nHzJ9IMpr
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L3WH5PoeF
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB3DYPgG0T
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2nSFsbh1l
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGiAjzD5XE
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfnctAbjeS
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvdldSTX8Y
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq35rxOjyK
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIggkaxcf13
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtEZDhy5ut
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3uEJSS1dv
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8W9yxhVEq
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtUB7yET3c
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhnBp2P68J
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgJHlv9Bj5
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz0LZe0QoM
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdYGnkHaCn
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9aHD2tYiT
"I second to that," said Zoey.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgLpCNtSFq
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXVhVPu8FO
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgHhFIrMBL
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JRu0yYJNn
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjUrSTkKU2
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcV4VwFlO1
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQV2qMsh01
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi6rXcqStS
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz48tbt7Qm
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb5J3t9sLd
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0pmt1K1d1
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtNNvYebiB
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqKmxSowtY
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r9UaAKnKu
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwtWxY84o3
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OWyc4ZiAB
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyySW7bwPh
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wCxWCOVjH
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3qpRyhyZg
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzU43YxgnT
"Yep," Young-jae answered.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj1vbqpbOK
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfnGbgM1sJ
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RkpwWIaII
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8ZuuQwPQP
"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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c3bN1wq0R
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv5tMyzsfH
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktPOXIZfbO
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCvfcg8b0q
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINFFIjry21
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyPwUc6ccC
"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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIjvMHPJnm
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHRBOdlcJz
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxCPB3tN01
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ksRVZzYXo
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYaRKCyHMn
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp0i8CIkxs
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt7mfzH7OC
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS7uOesbu7
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEoB2pQruR
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa8fbbQ5PO
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bxqLJXh0f
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3fK86dnd1
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTz0Gd7Q9c
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHOBXhShaw
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPvJXFfx2Q
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV0hQB9K30
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdgYEkE76P
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwAOIV2j4i
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLvksstNHE
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIDCzse7dU
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWNlj1AyiW
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiERBxrZI75
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWPdeOA4kP
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEhOYDGhRp
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmFeZlz91A
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpyQG0uElt
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpANS4p9PNd
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbqA9lbfC0
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXEqrfnPfh
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZTBgMCIGQ
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DJzyVbkw5
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq63ROzyER
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EZi3bwxTI
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o0eWgoAp3
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PsY4JUHUm
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDxMiwcr86
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEy2I1vCYG
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2FOlWqIuz
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:748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplDKcrHUf9
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxonGrSTJQI
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKQaXOmsY6
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny25Fah1EJ
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nPW1quXlK
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYuLgE9frf
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1wdd3TLIW
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv485olt3C
"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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ8JMRBHef
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq92ZaWFvj
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLXjVkgbmK
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97IWN0NBaY
"What reward?" Christine asked.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ020u8xUBz5
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsmFTjLEmf
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlJXoUuIIl
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNpZqVD2JM
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRffnaTobu
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvakgDbKxEZ
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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRByKkcMdoJ
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe45FTTmOdA
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2yLP7QVTi
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kaGwwi5ay
"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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GqPWNfVzv
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2fi96Eqk8
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxram7WANXb
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpRMJgY7eb
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfE3Ri1Dmk
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4Kg9AUVDA
"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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SDJ96kSee
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU56uim4Xj
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI6royVpRL
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYsSn0mfvS
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyuIN7e462
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BVWuKLHOg
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjox3zOff7
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21my5OMbNg
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwHyva1Ufn
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX6wZZNYPt
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rs0PK2NdT
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWdEBGXaSe
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUuhGKdeHv
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aedJcEErG
"We'll do our best," I said.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh46y20GgBi
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjeORsSpMP
"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF97oySEMt9
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujilzpjiHm
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIelvLQiQWs
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27brb33mEv
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvecK7HwKUC
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U104uE0nO
"We all did," said Daehyun.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtpCtNRpfO
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eYEHLVRWS
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBkPDXLYU1
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY4Qkg39lH
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX1oLlkPNw
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNk0llKue8
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDpdZXgG72
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPmrfw0EyY
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo2RETqazo
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq9ucQwM5u
"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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UPbqCcrCx
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5t9ddLJpB
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZGhKlftDd
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMb1lVD53d
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVXbLNbW3p
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72DEiDin0s
Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8Iims7Jv6
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpf1KvAVCt
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv8sfINqFQ
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0Ka52Xl5f
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ClwM4aJOA
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7a68c05cO
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUvVlK8g7W
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kmTUgcvsA
"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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm60Y4OhYRE
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8K5wlTooS
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbCkStRyaA
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS6zGIRgQE
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI7EZNBALw
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bNBVznnHQ
"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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuHn7q5PVm
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTgCjKZpWw
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkxItiK8uI
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlspPHTsZRd
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92tr5TmtfO
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mwcEgptNx
"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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRs1vL3edS
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlioHFEET0e
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSjKOvKzfw
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYKMrsy5XL
"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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0GOkwcItW
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lSgiooHY1
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaffyeFZ2iw
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpvRyJsfuQ
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim9w6GXZSe
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNdtNl2J4h
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMhIyEO8cO
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI57dV3EbG1
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNYSZvf3fO
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ncoOdUUy5
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lJMCGVaNi
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZLL5dcCCQ
Just as I thought. What a bummer.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ176ohqrnSR
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8kBKKEPde
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuCuF1Mmos
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YFdOlo7MO
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbW4qT6vyB
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRKNOn0mVI
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJQKjXnQo6
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ts4hpmTEu
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteSRvTMwpl
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ6AB9CVNK
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2cFAygA4x
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOMnv7dQe8
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjniXqEdpzH
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g4DKXhToV
"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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf81dNxCLg
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAVsRkcK7i
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJE3vVoIGD
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mXQR4N67P
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9QHyZ8RIa
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWSGYL2aj7
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?748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrFl6EkJwU
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSr2ee4Yu7
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qFXahw7EX
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnojYXHV7Qj
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIoQa0dAkt
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYdfU3Xp90
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoOdLbLeyL
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OI0pRX638
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyHlwrbYXy
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC26fYCH4QU
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllVnrKfOPu
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfRD3jLIuC
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdsc3FMk1L
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FIuG1l5ah
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N83q0J3rq
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9In7XKnTW
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3tdO0CKpD
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ln7arfZBL
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQS7TqrFfz
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjNXgiViim
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlao92oNweb
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG8ZRhhXF9
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0kDGGHQzd
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2tWMowu7n
"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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVadoO1nSUU
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq37Xulbwn
"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."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOPTf4neB6
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XRWf5jOuK
"Sounds good," said Himchan.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUd26vjBzf
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5BDZnLD6x
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt92zCMQcuM
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckaQmV8nLM
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcIPOJ2Vh2
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDsApfWLF3
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhsYFR8ThA
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdEjNzZwdZ
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit10gfVwgZ
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1cppOwW39
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.
