We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.805Please respect copyright.PENANA8dbwIzSBYE
805Please respect copyright.PENANAFlwzabrTcP
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAPXjtNfROs9
805Please respect copyright.PENANABV7qF2B1Sh
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAK769t8YTOT
805Please respect copyright.PENANAFuzow8s3qe
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."805Please respect copyright.PENANAuZeVGssM4I
805Please respect copyright.PENANAue0th9ArD6
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.805Please respect copyright.PENANAON7bl4ShP7
805Please respect copyright.PENANAbMTFjGI0M0
"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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAuXv2Z2kxpt
805Please respect copyright.PENANAnKbGwlUIx8
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.805Please respect copyright.PENANAlzbu5kBRLL
805Please respect copyright.PENANAz3ZRAY2FQ5
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.805Please respect copyright.PENANA68qTScSYSy
805Please respect copyright.PENANA4cFy4Avt2H
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"805Please respect copyright.PENANAO2F2HoKlZF
805Please respect copyright.PENANAEsCxAQeYog
"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."805Please respect copyright.PENANABx7CA6I0Dn
805Please respect copyright.PENANABUEJ5i3QRn
"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?"805Please respect copyright.PENANAuLCa38nPrY
805Please respect copyright.PENANAHmeIW51UQN
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?"805Please respect copyright.PENANAWrClij2o33
805Please respect copyright.PENANA39bA2dqgGv
"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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAGn3P0t4t90
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."805Please respect copyright.PENANAeBV0ag8QEc
805Please respect copyright.PENANASTHlvmOPjn
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."805Please respect copyright.PENANAHPDzr0L5jF
805Please respect copyright.PENANAyTGgALExcF
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAd3OLDJMMk1
805Please respect copyright.PENANACTk1TYl91p
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."805Please respect copyright.PENANAyr6ux0Yg2T
805Please respect copyright.PENANAskT5C6u9cc
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.805Please respect copyright.PENANAeJ1d2qzRDc
805Please respect copyright.PENANAfZ8Vpj4Czt
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."805Please respect copyright.PENANAx2ybQ8lQ0M
805Please respect copyright.PENANAMVODUrvEeh
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.805Please respect copyright.PENANARgtD2n6nnw
805Please respect copyright.PENANAjmznJOPvQO
"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."805Please respect copyright.PENANA6eQJS52fUN
805Please respect copyright.PENANAFDzE7hPUVK
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.805Please respect copyright.PENANApEGgcuUv5C
805Please respect copyright.PENANAqTpxRT9w1f
"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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAz4Gs9MxQ03
805Please respect copyright.PENANAWSRKhccCtE
"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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAMg6S4l1f3b
805Please respect copyright.PENANAl6Rg3BrD1z
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANArMgbYrwbG8
805Please respect copyright.PENANALMKgCwAed1
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.805Please respect copyright.PENANAx7RPelZNsK
805Please respect copyright.PENANAsqvYGDBbmi
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANA0PsjznL26u
805Please respect copyright.PENANAkj9p4vvaOR
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.805Please respect copyright.PENANA8H4kJ4x7KT
805Please respect copyright.PENANAh1VBpCzm0b
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.805Please respect copyright.PENANAHnjXmtyhTs
805Please respect copyright.PENANANZqevkh4Lb
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAHmTdSgD7IB
805Please respect copyright.PENANABjx0jDc7TX
He screamed.805Please respect copyright.PENANA3YCp8sYyWx
805Please respect copyright.PENANApgkoIZ9JLf
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANANIrdin76Wl
805Please respect copyright.PENANAyodP7lT9sm
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.805Please respect copyright.PENANAlSUfTZWYFz
805Please respect copyright.PENANAYyCvg611K8
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"805Please respect copyright.PENANA98IVoFJbKH
805Please respect copyright.PENANA7p1mLqMG9i
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.805Please respect copyright.PENANAOlAWrx0uJp
805Please respect copyright.PENANAh6mtJocL0P
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANABLq1X1TThX
805Please respect copyright.PENANAkiQ0NfUmZI
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."805Please respect copyright.PENANALi0Q4Dw2qZ
805Please respect copyright.PENANA3ORe05b444
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.805Please respect copyright.PENANA0pqqZQoeLD
805Please respect copyright.PENANAbZiEWSkQD2
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.805Please respect copyright.PENANAyTlgWmxCuw
805Please respect copyright.PENANAsDgCLRFQTG
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.805Please respect copyright.PENANAKun9T2YVHH
805Please respect copyright.PENANADyW6Hzw2Dz
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."805Please respect copyright.PENANAdT2q6mNLFc
805Please respect copyright.PENANAUva1J5sIPM
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.805Please respect copyright.PENANAU7FbjQny4k
805Please respect copyright.PENANArakPZJvKil
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."805Please respect copyright.PENANA0iKqQL92xo
805Please respect copyright.PENANABOMtEyDwGd
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."805Please respect copyright.PENANAKSuHLsh3Oc
805Please respect copyright.PENANAsHk0nf6xfM
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.805Please respect copyright.PENANAkFckxOfmGr
805Please respect copyright.PENANA9by9MY8NdR
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.805Please respect copyright.PENANAyEUcFtQ3Ir
805Please respect copyright.PENANAgKCPz5D6Lu
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.805Please respect copyright.PENANATEi51hjxZV
805Please respect copyright.PENANATLPhnfwu6Q
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.805Please respect copyright.PENANA67AAjc7T9m
805Please respect copyright.PENANAkpNgKpIRAJ
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAcFCaidbeqW
805Please respect copyright.PENANAnWtutQZAW3
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.805Please respect copyright.PENANANxiQBLjZoY
805Please respect copyright.PENANAna20vnrDfe
"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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAzAYDhU9JoL
805Please respect copyright.PENANA1qxjN2yAbu
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.805Please respect copyright.PENANADfotL52kLL
805Please respect copyright.PENANA9TlT8ExwcD
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."805Please respect copyright.PENANA037cNV9XaQ
805Please respect copyright.PENANAnUAzbp0eIw
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."805Please respect copyright.PENANAhYrQUmbax7
805Please respect copyright.PENANAoGr6Fv7XHo
"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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAr261l9Dwgq
805Please respect copyright.PENANAc6uPcEXkrc
"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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAwUbctbD32M
805Please respect copyright.PENANAxFX2nCcIJM
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.805Please respect copyright.PENANAlwH7WMYAZj
805Please respect copyright.PENANAUaGLbup8Xn
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."805Please respect copyright.PENANAogRP0mpclF
805Please respect copyright.PENANApA8DdzUFMj
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."805Please respect copyright.PENANA8LP2jaUb8O
805Please respect copyright.PENANARff7y4oaCQ
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.805Please respect copyright.PENANAW9fr392BOn
805Please respect copyright.PENANA6B1QSTgyjI
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.805Please respect copyright.PENANAvSMG0NCRQQ
805Please respect copyright.PENANAsly6NWhpfR
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.805Please respect copyright.PENANAMyKj0VcwqU
805Please respect copyright.PENANAEYDi5taOkp
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."805Please respect copyright.PENANABpGuQyLyOV
805Please respect copyright.PENANANPFkXHYjm1
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.805Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ9qIQx60O
805Please respect copyright.PENANAPVqQlX1S9W
"I second to that," said Zoey.805Please respect copyright.PENANA7FzCO5AXWw
805Please respect copyright.PENANAz745UgjLJm
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.805Please respect copyright.PENANAZZmj4P68Cq
805Please respect copyright.PENANAR1ZCnhkz1q
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"805Please respect copyright.PENANAGjPLOEjBIX
805Please respect copyright.PENANAjujOk6pl5f
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.805Please respect copyright.PENANAPMOQPx6F7o
805Please respect copyright.PENANAGXBBzmbOEd
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.805Please respect copyright.PENANAU6GWsvvZqI
805Please respect copyright.PENANAT2B3N8ys5a
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."805Please respect copyright.PENANATV0XLa9kvG
805Please respect copyright.PENANAlJYTdUzZ3l
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.805Please respect copyright.PENANA9gMXCFUlgs
805Please respect copyright.PENANA6X3VUmClXf
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.805Please respect copyright.PENANALnICsh8CIz
805Please respect copyright.PENANADkoXjZcRU4
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.805Please respect copyright.PENANATEsd7gut1i
805Please respect copyright.PENANAbi43wipL5q
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.805Please respect copyright.PENANAb0UgtPz98V
805Please respect copyright.PENANA4EvpYzXVh5
"Yep," Young-jae answered.805Please respect copyright.PENANAU84ilbtQbw
805Please respect copyright.PENANAOyzgFgRgi0
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.805Please respect copyright.PENANAtJH4k15cyS
805Please respect copyright.PENANAWxTby3LbIx
"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."805Please respect copyright.PENANA7mi5qOfMoc
805Please respect copyright.PENANAleKHjCY2re
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.805Please respect copyright.PENANAAf4LFJ6HOf
805Please respect copyright.PENANAahggckdF7a
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.805Please respect copyright.PENANAOcoBspJRYf
805Please respect copyright.PENANAmndTb7msz1
"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."805Please respect copyright.PENANAe9Cg1fV6lu
805Please respect copyright.PENANAzlinUjW4zn
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.805Please respect copyright.PENANAdXmNLkW5RX
805Please respect copyright.PENANA8plKSC7byE
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.805Please respect copyright.PENANA9bgEZZqY0w
805Please respect copyright.PENANAI0dIbP3JNm
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.805Please respect copyright.PENANAEmnwdRefG7
805Please respect copyright.PENANACLMEOQD5Ww
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.805Please respect copyright.PENANAqfwhvdCRoM
805Please respect copyright.PENANAQH9SXjGQ4i
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"805Please respect copyright.PENANALogw9aJsIq
805Please respect copyright.PENANAe31BOc2v2F
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.805Please respect copyright.PENANAnkgnRf3k5J
805Please respect copyright.PENANApXHTBBrX0M
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.805Please respect copyright.PENANAr0HhJ8CMA8
805Please respect copyright.PENANAsVCyqQsHAo
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."805Please respect copyright.PENANAoJsUhE6Xs0
805Please respect copyright.PENANAd2tMZfYDa2
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"805Please respect copyright.PENANA16Z4vsFREv
805Please respect copyright.PENANAsPWUf6XiwP
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."805Please respect copyright.PENANAb5Hfu9O4O6
805Please respect copyright.PENANAsbLtovet5N
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."805Please respect copyright.PENANAF4vCqCHkLM
805Please respect copyright.PENANAP4Pb0NcNCV
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."805Please respect copyright.PENANA12cF0YBa2z
805Please respect copyright.PENANArgaUpNkLib
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.805Please respect copyright.PENANAMxXDffmyS4
805Please respect copyright.PENANAGxIz81PXjo
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.805Please respect copyright.PENANA9UxtFXiMWD
805Please respect copyright.PENANAGZBW7OVQkf
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAFYnkwjOF55
805Please respect copyright.PENANAKccR9Khm27
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."805Please respect copyright.PENANAp2loCRbFCC
805Please respect copyright.PENANADyjJvdFgSV
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.805Please respect copyright.PENANAIfsBMQ9lYg
805Please respect copyright.PENANAA9gqe2m3SZ
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."805Please respect copyright.PENANAuSg11e59nB
805Please respect copyright.PENANAyDdBOjdTb4
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:805Please respect copyright.PENANAIpcA2IRCaC
805Please respect copyright.PENANAD6h1BjUk4b
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."805Please respect copyright.PENANASp8w0sPg2U
805Please respect copyright.PENANAdlv6aWxTw2
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAGrWVDNTjmq
805Please respect copyright.PENANAjeHv3YRhYk
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.805Please respect copyright.PENANAqMKF8AQf1f
805Please respect copyright.PENANAepcX6c7jQ7
"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."805Please respect copyright.PENANAJbHy5tGas1
805Please respect copyright.PENANA14aEPUdjIH
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.805Please respect copyright.PENANAvvApoEGFac
805Please respect copyright.PENANAtfpCZRkhgF
"What reward?" Christine asked.805Please respect copyright.PENANA7YOsegOsc6
805Please respect copyright.PENANAR2N51TcgeB
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.805Please respect copyright.PENANAoFeKotZmOT
805Please respect copyright.PENANA4i1sCgpBLU
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.805Please respect copyright.PENANANS3nE4ioXa
805Please respect copyright.PENANA54D15fNUOR
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."805Please respect copyright.PENANAs00ruoL64b
805Please respect copyright.PENANALtAMf2lox0
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAcULytBOpjt
805Please respect copyright.PENANAemh4cc7htU
"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."805Please respect copyright.PENANA36vMx8MDQg
805Please respect copyright.PENANA22NpFnGTF2
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.805Please respect copyright.PENANARvle9bioR9
805Please respect copyright.PENANAS2Xpluog4h
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."805Please respect copyright.PENANArrIPkomIji
805Please respect copyright.PENANAydMLQj7ysO
"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."805Please respect copyright.PENANAdx5uJNSj2I
805Please respect copyright.PENANAc4Jua7IHzT
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.805Please respect copyright.PENANAcxJ5GcR53h
805Please respect copyright.PENANA3wwqpmUdtI
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."805Please respect copyright.PENANAXtmgXT48xK
805Please respect copyright.PENANAbk4PEvLWm5
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.805Please respect copyright.PENANAfZOeS4lar1
805Please respect copyright.PENANAopRZiiAcAj
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.805Please respect copyright.PENANAedEWArDRdg
805Please respect copyright.PENANArYJd7JHFZr
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.805Please respect copyright.PENANAyiTqFAppZJ
805Please respect copyright.PENANAktJni3AZAT
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAlgCG3z90fd
805Please respect copyright.PENANAYCdCdOgdZM
"We'll do our best," I said.805Please respect copyright.PENANAzo5Z5uclxw
805Please respect copyright.PENANAyjhwP899U3
"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.805Please respect copyright.PENANAGePuZuHFQt
805Please respect copyright.PENANAwWqlUy86pc
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.805Please respect copyright.PENANABOOUlvU5WR
805Please respect copyright.PENANA3P8kVwViSv
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.805Please respect copyright.PENANAiBxTlhqXf4
805Please respect copyright.PENANA0bozk7ZMqx
"We all did," said Daehyun.805Please respect copyright.PENANAht5kDpC1yK
805Please respect copyright.PENANAEx80WutzHS
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.805Please respect copyright.PENANAZMBrsuV8cp
805Please respect copyright.PENANAzLS3ntKd53
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.805Please respect copyright.PENANAFWZLEjGouK
805Please respect copyright.PENANAAtaE1FT884
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.805Please respect copyright.PENANALubPYr6kMY
805Please respect copyright.PENANAGXrr9ruZsW
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.805Please respect copyright.PENANAoYigWnvuaR
805Please respect copyright.PENANAuuWzBEUKdP
"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."805Please respect copyright.PENANAc0DMPz0SYa
805Please respect copyright.PENANAeou0MocN0E
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."805Please respect copyright.PENANAye8rlumMcQ
805Please respect copyright.PENANAWKuN74aohC
"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.805Please respect copyright.PENANA99IqSXCeic
805Please respect copyright.PENANAN1npzZWGwN
Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:805Please respect copyright.PENANA18Qh21fGfi
805Please respect copyright.PENANA2yrq9yHKTI
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.805Please respect copyright.PENANALveKS2AU1H
805Please respect copyright.PENANAvqYgAll28S
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.805Please respect copyright.PENANAlBnBtQceWH
805Please respect copyright.PENANAdajMhvLty8
"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.805Please respect copyright.PENANA5STaeca0Yz
805Please respect copyright.PENANAZcbt3mKOAh
"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."805Please respect copyright.PENANA1vaXWi2KXo
805Please respect copyright.PENANA23TQARQNKK
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"805Please respect copyright.PENANApHZRHxL2ZB
805Please respect copyright.PENANADwvjqgXIIl
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.805Please respect copyright.PENANAv2lRBLWjdu
805Please respect copyright.PENANAmrQnFhHouM
"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."805Please respect copyright.PENANAaxTYxGbj6x
805Please respect copyright.PENANA6EKbx3C5y6
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.805Please respect copyright.PENANARwIIW6kVpn
805Please respect copyright.PENANAbQ9QUETmSH
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.805Please respect copyright.PENANADQ9OrKsE2T
805Please respect copyright.PENANA5diyOyTDWw
"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."805Please respect copyright.PENANA7Y1ODOG4R5
805Please respect copyright.PENANAKPv2UmrKL7
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."805Please respect copyright.PENANA029PkZPLja
805Please respect copyright.PENANADFMEBQ4UUI
"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."805Please respect copyright.PENANAiRKzC9IIbn
805Please respect copyright.PENANAXhCxBQM6pR
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.805Please respect copyright.PENANACC5e2EeTvz
805Please respect copyright.PENANAao1qNG7hNk
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAzdDPDi02qS
805Please respect copyright.PENANApSVHnmT7qr
"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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1xRhsBYKs
805Please respect copyright.PENANAqjK8nZT1cs
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.805Please respect copyright.PENANABX6fwwoQkk
805Please respect copyright.PENANANrRdKWafFd
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.805Please respect copyright.PENANAb2ZfTpjBNU
805Please respect copyright.PENANArJd5iH7oUf
Just as I thought. What a bummer.805Please respect copyright.PENANAmG8BWy7Z42
805Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ2cQmmELq
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.805Please respect copyright.PENANAL0W2s8SZpk
805Please respect copyright.PENANA7g1tBUZmb3
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.805Please respect copyright.PENANAZWj4dgJzXh
805Please respect copyright.PENANAbRxn6yReTZ
"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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAMxT20EMKtF
805Please respect copyright.PENANAjwsUqQ6oLt
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.805Please respect copyright.PENANACYXhmiJdgs
805Please respect copyright.PENANAaIIzsWZgjw
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.805Please respect copyright.PENANA1cNaDWVfXd
805Please respect copyright.PENANAqwSSUe8Xs0
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.805Please respect copyright.PENANAiKRimtQv8K
805Please respect copyright.PENANAjR9gSgnyGt
"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."805Please respect copyright.PENANA6ym2dUJyYE
805Please respect copyright.PENANAwZcI2QrA8u
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.805Please respect copyright.PENANAQTsyHpZamK
805Please respect copyright.PENANA7cqbiuErWu
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAYek1yFNjGj
805Please respect copyright.PENANAkqDcO53xCI
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?805Please respect copyright.PENANAl391MeHkdW
805Please respect copyright.PENANA2fTtivAT11
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.805Please respect copyright.PENANAWyAAVP2fJw
805Please respect copyright.PENANAnxc2bRptC0
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.805Please respect copyright.PENANAkzhA24JW49
805Please respect copyright.PENANA3mmUT6edEb
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.805Please respect copyright.PENANAhkZRz19Ojv
805Please respect copyright.PENANA92mh7npoko
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANA655bDBfl9x
805Please respect copyright.PENANARQTWl4S2YK
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."805Please respect copyright.PENANAY91iPYElUH
805Please respect copyright.PENANAWAYwHp0Gal
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.805Please respect copyright.PENANAw3JV8n0t9C
805Please respect copyright.PENANAdxPE8Ktmqs
"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.805Please respect copyright.PENANApxtJ9MVgXL
805Please respect copyright.PENANAYESNh5x395
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.805Please respect copyright.PENANAJMpGDoEnV8
805Please respect copyright.PENANAxtRw9hJ3Au
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."805Please respect copyright.PENANA2Qmm6n89Oi
805Please respect copyright.PENANAkRmy5yIPIK
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.805Please respect copyright.PENANAwDG9oZjthn
805Please respect copyright.PENANAUaduyMxp0Y
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANA1djDTdwG2I
805Please respect copyright.PENANAkb9ge7c0gR
"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."805Please respect copyright.PENANAfSQ13XvQz5
805Please respect copyright.PENANAPMXGFFjIfi
"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."805Please respect copyright.PENANAiCOBCsjPKt
805Please respect copyright.PENANAOwFNYTbanJ
"Sounds good," said Himchan.805Please respect copyright.PENANAp7eI0gzqSz
805Please respect copyright.PENANAYCSIhENNzW
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."805Please respect copyright.PENANA8APA1O3qy5
805Please respect copyright.PENANAJZaQNZPbTe
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.805Please respect copyright.PENANAFHOeeGDtHu
805Please respect copyright.PENANAbMeLMrRRnh
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANAKqoTUY7xNE
805Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5ZpAnXDmb
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.805Please respect copyright.PENANA7j3W6cpFv1
805Please respect copyright.PENANAsfOAeZiMcj
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.
