We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.436Please respect copyright.PENANAQ36fdJgVs4
436Please respect copyright.PENANALPqRs6jAZQ
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANA2nO43bGgOd
436Please respect copyright.PENANAjCIQqGYPug
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAHYVflubZxS
436Please respect copyright.PENANAdzPJQQWYSM
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."436Please respect copyright.PENANAdf6HktHB1w
436Please respect copyright.PENANArHNDzWWfUN
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.436Please respect copyright.PENANASbg0XgQh95
436Please respect copyright.PENANANfStf2KM1P
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAtGbJVrafvd
436Please respect copyright.PENANAMA2SUvoMwV
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.436Please respect copyright.PENANAxE1ftyewZF
436Please respect copyright.PENANADfEF8uygBW
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.436Please respect copyright.PENANAn3euAKf9fL
436Please respect copyright.PENANArrf3ZtYB99
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"436Please respect copyright.PENANASVFtYrOb3Q
436Please respect copyright.PENANAFvhd4cwb1l
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAsnZiTi7GbC
436Please respect copyright.PENANA4w2nnT1bHV
"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?"436Please respect copyright.PENANAzA21OSh60e
436Please respect copyright.PENANAcAxKIwZGHP
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?"436Please respect copyright.PENANAVjv9muLL33
436Please respect copyright.PENANADaPrLUleqx
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAvp8DJoWdNd
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."436Please respect copyright.PENANArjdfBxGqIP
436Please respect copyright.PENANApQ8ThInW7Z
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."436Please respect copyright.PENANARvX4D86aIy
436Please respect copyright.PENANAr4uR2phZrf
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAbWfgAnO8x2
436Please respect copyright.PENANAKjrVQpxuLC
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."436Please respect copyright.PENANA282ZnHWTUI
436Please respect copyright.PENANAAb5M78BUMc
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.436Please respect copyright.PENANAarQMYwSyZG
436Please respect copyright.PENANALSEEP8EPsf
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."436Please respect copyright.PENANAC5sWWeLIcX
436Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZnpnV6YQg
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.436Please respect copyright.PENANAUuKiU8Zu69
436Please respect copyright.PENANAN5DB0T10uu
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAQZa83vwnEp
436Please respect copyright.PENANA51cC1AuOUc
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.436Please respect copyright.PENANAC1pk0Xa8tg
436Please respect copyright.PENANAFaUkU111pN
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAbsFiSWUUgZ
436Please respect copyright.PENANAHSBIrOWAja
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAd16w3AsgJ4
436Please respect copyright.PENANAKG5TD0Pmf6
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAtuUO72n54Y
436Please respect copyright.PENANAeKga7g1Kke
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.436Please respect copyright.PENANAejAVfS1gb0
436Please respect copyright.PENANAheksDUp3LR
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAO04aEd34it
436Please respect copyright.PENANATXQTOYat6P
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.436Please respect copyright.PENANAmZ9XJ2ippM
436Please respect copyright.PENANAhXYigXMofM
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.436Please respect copyright.PENANAgGezPCds94
436Please respect copyright.PENANAOQI7eaS3BA
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAjmpik88cuf
436Please respect copyright.PENANAYuyCVPQ6ws
He screamed.436Please respect copyright.PENANAdqQDv8YKvi
436Please respect copyright.PENANA3h7ghItIU8
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAbZPcnRcJOn
436Please respect copyright.PENANAtm61vAgXQS
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.436Please respect copyright.PENANA9i68Ughtwq
436Please respect copyright.PENANA1YgPqEhByZ
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"436Please respect copyright.PENANA2hTsFhs5EO
436Please respect copyright.PENANAJfFUbK7ZUn
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.436Please respect copyright.PENANAdXRZnLGUOy
436Please respect copyright.PENANAObvKm2gmHW
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANALccpHVBWjU
436Please respect copyright.PENANA2BgweBDTuf
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."436Please respect copyright.PENANAI7fG2BfGHx
436Please respect copyright.PENANAPzSjbjrqkA
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.436Please respect copyright.PENANAEDHiqEHlZ0
436Please respect copyright.PENANAgKX8UvCOqE
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.436Please respect copyright.PENANAUdkdKNq10Q
436Please respect copyright.PENANAXZlynvZCb7
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.436Please respect copyright.PENANADvh4H8in8E
436Please respect copyright.PENANAWPL8ak31c7
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."436Please respect copyright.PENANAssJk6gwbRX
436Please respect copyright.PENANA2MzrSZedsh
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.436Please respect copyright.PENANABDAvf4WWSb
436Please respect copyright.PENANAmDp1JfDNBl
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."436Please respect copyright.PENANAs1V6pTMbiS
436Please respect copyright.PENANAfNERHqWyvt
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."436Please respect copyright.PENANA8OHByUGUYG
436Please respect copyright.PENANA9QxWOWQcxg
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.436Please respect copyright.PENANAUBAru7JzWY
436Please respect copyright.PENANAKPXbU7VdqQ
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.436Please respect copyright.PENANAVByp3RtoAX
436Please respect copyright.PENANA7jDLY6ynVJ
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.436Please respect copyright.PENANAJnWp4CMAlQ
436Please respect copyright.PENANAkNGD78LQLv
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.436Please respect copyright.PENANAIoeIALik0t
436Please respect copyright.PENANAm6exUOSnC6
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAZYQ7BouEzm
436Please respect copyright.PENANApn95NQhtb3
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.436Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2uzwZWjlx
436Please respect copyright.PENANAabKRhMXFTq
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAGlKMkRoiUm
436Please respect copyright.PENANAOKmTDg7pC0
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.436Please respect copyright.PENANAgync6KHF0m
436Please respect copyright.PENANA9LGKV7Y5yD
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."436Please respect copyright.PENANAlio4nykrIu
436Please respect copyright.PENANAZfhJdqfcQM
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."436Please respect copyright.PENANAbIr0eiZKWv
436Please respect copyright.PENANAEcNOiSRFNk
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAthdz5XEmDA
436Please respect copyright.PENANAGaNlFNTFz4
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANArZpYshruXL
436Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ej9DU6YW8
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.436Please respect copyright.PENANAlxcq11zOjr
436Please respect copyright.PENANAEquNjRQsir
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."436Please respect copyright.PENANAklFBDSaRfd
436Please respect copyright.PENANAQcNBM6VCV6
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."436Please respect copyright.PENANAd7TA5YTcI3
436Please respect copyright.PENANAH1PwRsm0z5
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.436Please respect copyright.PENANACNnEvWWWaj
436Please respect copyright.PENANAttFGD6Zxaa
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.436Please respect copyright.PENANAwZFXTL0TmO
436Please respect copyright.PENANAaSflTUm5Ky
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.436Please respect copyright.PENANAra6Ri8Suvk
436Please respect copyright.PENANAmA5en1GEGL
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."436Please respect copyright.PENANAhsgK3I3VAM
436Please respect copyright.PENANAhjtVgVj33J
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.436Please respect copyright.PENANAwS7bu8pcL4
436Please respect copyright.PENANAM7XgD1vVp0
"I second to that," said Zoey.436Please respect copyright.PENANAImsuJspZ6D
436Please respect copyright.PENANAXioj8oLeKr
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.436Please respect copyright.PENANAM8WzCScdzy
436Please respect copyright.PENANAx9vGG7yUu1
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"436Please respect copyright.PENANAXt8r3krOoF
436Please respect copyright.PENANA5d1KZxAZC1
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.436Please respect copyright.PENANAFmh5me5iTC
436Please respect copyright.PENANAdLCOrUzoqM
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.436Please respect copyright.PENANAsb0YKUr96D
436Please respect copyright.PENANAIH8alIVJNN
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."436Please respect copyright.PENANAQlpAOQmOJL
436Please respect copyright.PENANAGDY8oOi0KY
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.436Please respect copyright.PENANAqmhgTWZlxD
436Please respect copyright.PENANA7IdaNobcVy
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.436Please respect copyright.PENANA4gAt1qaKWp
436Please respect copyright.PENANANSN35x6ykG
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.436Please respect copyright.PENANAngBqIQ7blq
436Please respect copyright.PENANATJw8jLCiII
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.436Please respect copyright.PENANAbCQvnQ2fPQ
436Please respect copyright.PENANAubMe8wSFaI
"Yep," Young-jae answered.436Please respect copyright.PENANAoAjerKrWMn
436Please respect copyright.PENANAaPwWRpSL0s
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.436Please respect copyright.PENANAaRGVpSNPzQ
436Please respect copyright.PENANAJZmdtSEAC2
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAKtvEhrFPeD
436Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7l0bG3YbV
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.436Please respect copyright.PENANASXbXltDU1U
436Please respect copyright.PENANALnKrVQ6Fba
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.436Please respect copyright.PENANAOHSAwHTg3W
436Please respect copyright.PENANAmOtp25Fo3w
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAnDdyoD2NPK
436Please respect copyright.PENANA3V82KCPjAd
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.436Please respect copyright.PENANAG3Fw5511Ay
436Please respect copyright.PENANAZvhY6hgTP1
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.436Please respect copyright.PENANAcmMjkZHHnI
436Please respect copyright.PENANARSqArIRULL
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.436Please respect copyright.PENANAUaHDTRRT4Q
436Please respect copyright.PENANAflqnxuBOau
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.436Please respect copyright.PENANAoYcLmyL5Q8
436Please respect copyright.PENANAptjbdR3UGQ
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"436Please respect copyright.PENANApQOzqsdQyV
436Please respect copyright.PENANAvN6qQhyVN0
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.436Please respect copyright.PENANAFpajkNwdaa
436Please respect copyright.PENANAkhe2w1PQbn
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.436Please respect copyright.PENANApUSBk9pQF6
436Please respect copyright.PENANAM72DmWY7CU
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."436Please respect copyright.PENANAgiKOtGwRBJ
436Please respect copyright.PENANAusdjtFIgHp
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"436Please respect copyright.PENANAipDaFyNCMC
436Please respect copyright.PENANAywLawzro8b
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."436Please respect copyright.PENANAeFqsWnJQq2
436Please respect copyright.PENANADMnaoMPc8J
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."436Please respect copyright.PENANAsaQsl1lJmD
436Please respect copyright.PENANAOjyLuaATQ4
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."436Please respect copyright.PENANAyQQFtPUKoO
436Please respect copyright.PENANArqlb20N1JQ
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.436Please respect copyright.PENANAyCofc5Bt9p
436Please respect copyright.PENANAbqpp4eorEH
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.436Please respect copyright.PENANAN4FUvFHVvE
436Please respect copyright.PENANAQGR3eZh0mR
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAd36ckdaeOP
436Please respect copyright.PENANAdIM3wlHfIJ
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."436Please respect copyright.PENANAkWDb5sa5in
436Please respect copyright.PENANA9JrBLNkRth
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.436Please respect copyright.PENANALYNeR31obH
436Please respect copyright.PENANAQTnBodXnrW
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."436Please respect copyright.PENANAaEDIMM8td1
436Please respect copyright.PENANAEsIYpSm71C
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:436Please respect copyright.PENANAtIjeb7os4x
436Please respect copyright.PENANAs6YIxtfK9T
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."436Please respect copyright.PENANA2agGTTvQJF
436Please respect copyright.PENANALKRDUw58y5
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAjAXi5tMICm
436Please respect copyright.PENANAXEE1V4djS3
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.436Please respect copyright.PENANAODNBK1W9nv
436Please respect copyright.PENANATpmA6JPQHe
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAUuPty20XCQ
436Please respect copyright.PENANAHJkc0p411a
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.436Please respect copyright.PENANA7Xc6WjPcLc
436Please respect copyright.PENANA1oV6xkwYbV
"What reward?" Christine asked.436Please respect copyright.PENANAmaIC4cwKmQ
436Please respect copyright.PENANAT9BYsyC8G6
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.436Please respect copyright.PENANAnC1wnc3Lms
436Please respect copyright.PENANAv1KUNjjFyt
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.436Please respect copyright.PENANAjF7oYkdmwR
436Please respect copyright.PENANANq36M2TwsE
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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAnNhSXbjptC
436Please respect copyright.PENANA5SuJFISpgd
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANARH1LdV8Ywb
436Please respect copyright.PENANAiJRGl1aOgv
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANA1BWjgnhxfE
436Please respect copyright.PENANAxcRIUmPtLb
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.436Please respect copyright.PENANA0D4Itb5lWy
436Please respect copyright.PENANAw2xi1REzoD
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."436Please respect copyright.PENANA2xM5BBCphy
436Please respect copyright.PENANA0TgYY62uoi
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANA0OzDgzwUvF
436Please respect copyright.PENANAC19LvCgg9C
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.436Please respect copyright.PENANAwn0Ts4mIIi
436Please respect copyright.PENANA9gXCU3vmrV
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."436Please respect copyright.PENANA516dWjrklw
436Please respect copyright.PENANAW9fteiqrWv
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.436Please respect copyright.PENANAattHqeYoKM
436Please respect copyright.PENANAy4n4oiWPTC
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.436Please respect copyright.PENANA6lH4968JpE
436Please respect copyright.PENANA1dfG0bQk6Z
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.436Please respect copyright.PENANAsiQZ3xeXiV
436Please respect copyright.PENANADJHDUoPMGF
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANA7C120OYS9k
436Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9hDYYo7mk
"We'll do our best," I said.436Please respect copyright.PENANAbesMzEpvKs
436Please respect copyright.PENANAaD3fCZBVSK
"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.436Please respect copyright.PENANAoEtYd3s6UF
436Please respect copyright.PENANA0C6VMuMP38
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.436Please respect copyright.PENANACZCoBkqiad
436Please respect copyright.PENANANgy3xH9GK8
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.436Please respect copyright.PENANA8FcV18ZGEp
436Please respect copyright.PENANAhHwzyjsnL4
"We all did," said Daehyun.436Please respect copyright.PENANAVvYcOZjWXn
436Please respect copyright.PENANAPMSI4tf2HD
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.436Please respect copyright.PENANADQAlqw5MNp
436Please respect copyright.PENANAOJHoFJuxzr
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.436Please respect copyright.PENANAs5XrHJAphG
436Please respect copyright.PENANAQFEiatGQME
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.436Please respect copyright.PENANAEwRTH9v4Jo
436Please respect copyright.PENANAli7KKiH7v3
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.436Please respect copyright.PENANAmGTrrnIBmT
436Please respect copyright.PENANAixpb9Mwjm5
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANA671rnG0xKC
436Please respect copyright.PENANATqDpjcPHPT
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."436Please respect copyright.PENANAQAMqROpK3D
436Please respect copyright.PENANAn7AfR3cFlT
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANA3nHNTBUetB
436Please respect copyright.PENANAuVs3RFTt5C
Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:436Please respect copyright.PENANAxTvLwFGtXq
436Please respect copyright.PENANAoTOD9hter7
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.436Please respect copyright.PENANAJw8NZam1dn
436Please respect copyright.PENANAi4O4qCU1jt
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.436Please respect copyright.PENANAUdZ4ktTmlZ
436Please respect copyright.PENANAeSoHOUT0Ji
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAC50ARbnN8U
436Please respect copyright.PENANATIb73JK9HZ
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAk1wGM6WtHf
436Please respect copyright.PENANAKiR7Bioeeq
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"436Please respect copyright.PENANAdWVIboqEB9
436Please respect copyright.PENANA4TdsBBffQS
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.436Please respect copyright.PENANA9agK83G6Um
436Please respect copyright.PENANAiCIlcaIzBm
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAbvsSWaX4v7
436Please respect copyright.PENANAzcRkUQzQrp
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.436Please respect copyright.PENANAHe2Os6cyhz
436Please respect copyright.PENANArHdvU83OlY
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.436Please respect copyright.PENANAH9qP8kK0S5
436Please respect copyright.PENANAhu8aUAss8u
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAiQDLSu6oK5
436Please respect copyright.PENANAzqkpz6PeKb
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."436Please respect copyright.PENANA4XMr4RCEoB
436Please respect copyright.PENANAXi8ZbYGkZz
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAmGsBe0Diva
436Please respect copyright.PENANAB98flT71Ev
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.436Please respect copyright.PENANAY1S1Vk10Ki
436Please respect copyright.PENANAYjq3ssbZUX
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAaTLYdrIJrk
436Please respect copyright.PENANAZTKCh7BfQ8
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAOLCbvU76tm
436Please respect copyright.PENANAfrvXEfQfVs
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.436Please respect copyright.PENANAT1DEOQ6PFS
436Please respect copyright.PENANAco7ZLqTlTy
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.436Please respect copyright.PENANAIwoufhkS70
436Please respect copyright.PENANAI6n07rOalq
Just as I thought. What a bummer.436Please respect copyright.PENANA1q7ys5wBVR
436Please respect copyright.PENANASKc5QUfRvm
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.436Please respect copyright.PENANA6lqqM5t0cN
436Please respect copyright.PENANAtIbpyVJ6xH
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.436Please respect copyright.PENANAfmOejrj3f6
436Please respect copyright.PENANAV9Ly5VWl50
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAHPwbunKEER
436Please respect copyright.PENANAYMujY0Yh3r
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.436Please respect copyright.PENANA9tPi65lUaq
436Please respect copyright.PENANAYzNoDbBACs
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.436Please respect copyright.PENANA9ROYdE4rb7
436Please respect copyright.PENANAVw3V2M5a4N
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.436Please respect copyright.PENANAOgIKw1ZQtN
436Please respect copyright.PENANAdgRXW9ut2o
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAt69Q7kISx3
436Please respect copyright.PENANA7xzoBQgzrK
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.436Please respect copyright.PENANAFZnPnVmwj8
436Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2WecPtr0U
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8MahQJ3KM
436Please respect copyright.PENANAyQPwN8A1Iq
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?436Please respect copyright.PENANAmOp8IopW0f
436Please respect copyright.PENANAU8II6f8W3i
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.436Please respect copyright.PENANAaFr1nXZeUt
436Please respect copyright.PENANAUkzkuBeg75
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.436Please respect copyright.PENANAdnKAnWJAtw
436Please respect copyright.PENANA5L53Vw17kc
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.436Please respect copyright.PENANA5E8M13CBVM
436Please respect copyright.PENANAZwQcqUDmD8
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAKenbB9xy9l
436Please respect copyright.PENANANji4lftxMn
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."436Please respect copyright.PENANAj7RJuyAmEm
436Please respect copyright.PENANAeSGvyxuANn
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.436Please respect copyright.PENANAm012kycRex
436Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ65rTq6Uf
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANABnMHxeUK4d
436Please respect copyright.PENANApLQCgdVZ4N
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.436Please respect copyright.PENANAI9GqfsWqdl
436Please respect copyright.PENANAXKrsLqCKab
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."436Please respect copyright.PENANAKEUjHRaqFC
436Please respect copyright.PENANAyllr7Ij6CS
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.436Please respect copyright.PENANAbFAS4R6o6a
436Please respect copyright.PENANAM6xbahkTkD
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAwAwy0AclIw
436Please respect copyright.PENANAQWaeHoKnp0
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAeYAqkTHXLk
436Please respect copyright.PENANAKw1INxdmJP
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAkFne0xjiqM
436Please respect copyright.PENANABXp6uXI38d
"Sounds good," said Himchan.436Please respect copyright.PENANAfjEH7BtNaB
436Please respect copyright.PENANAepJhWXJp0i
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."436Please respect copyright.PENANAXpdEAFbSim
436Please respect copyright.PENANAIwQL7b49I5
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.436Please respect copyright.PENANAZNhrUXiVXx
436Please respect copyright.PENANAqFS302OFM8
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAzVDtzl9yyu
436Please respect copyright.PENANAqYJGpUUaIO
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAIbP0ujDY5s
436Please respect copyright.PENANAsPgfkqE2iL
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.
