We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57S3CuJlVx
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6mmnObQCW
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLxhmvQfVb
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhQVwEAtrX
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYSJTSQG6D
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ373E9CYYPa
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50RPFIz0TR
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYBrDtKFd3
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7zM9ZwDAT
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIehDAS5IXo
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5mnMpIRgg
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ4rmK7hFM
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6CkARFyu7
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F460MyK7e
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ez3apGsB1
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuxyJn7jlD
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS67TJcAwV
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKBGPt6dCW
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUuBKzCNx9
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KAmY5O8ex
"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?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYJvlaLhux
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByN0yTq9kD
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?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKzi0hUYni
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22VAPAAclS
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTrUSGswCO
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm4s3j1THW
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbpzaT2D2A
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvOhvr8GES
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWXEL2PRVn
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkNXWbbXUR
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2KtRNrHK7
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3J7qDQqtp
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEssELVoCo
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKdtgfw9EU
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC431qxXGWg
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl3wA4z7Fm
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqttjg75tv
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt8k0kmkDH
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcBUio4kUG
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh05OwWhRTW
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssQ57Ck2cA
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJw2M6H2oE
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT6cc4tWmf
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CRNk5a2WX
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCmefAe1tO
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXTJvqTMYK
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X1EnrFO4c
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYJeYe5UVW
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8PACIfM5a
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVbv9LzXDZ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqsYNluEIK
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD6ZeAww75
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRSKp24jRS
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84dsBvayhT
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFiuJWGwxe
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtnAA0vOXK
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5YN5plOGl
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaDrf9DmuX
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t3FyPJQTC
He screamed.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneBgYj810F
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVrthUoNxQ
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodqAa5Zc2i
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe9Rw52ddE
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DtrSE3Prh
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7eMw1dX42
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotyCGga7Od
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIdilXkSGA
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfRK72nJB3
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7iKuCmqyc
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo49efVOlPc
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwJixkHci9
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuKmfxiS2w
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVINZw5bnB
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAyPSmL0tJ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBYeh2EVEc
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrjAibnT1w
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaOWlwKgg0
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIMrhNOOOD
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqdgL9cXf6
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsl69gHtRN
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesVle5JGxP
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgiQ3ytN1h
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcgS7dAPAz
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dvGGGCk6q
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeqn9EBv7P
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxtTUd1vuK
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkHQ3GcVrT
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPoAgJlq45
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqmwUHePtD
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku9LjFoxRG
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdnK7dwUOL
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv62MjhECmy
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYdHD5Yebp
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6qRBLePIm
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYwbdvlPgS
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjwsqt9nOg
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K5iy2LfHR
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjkkpfjvoz
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nOfwki5Ae
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgmMuPSUwW
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEHoGXG3ql
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzD22n2jYn
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gumg6bYw3
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBg4dGJSuE
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4aRq1SA8S
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTjf7vl4ts
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46ZLJ1sOcd
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnusaLmkYmB
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc8hQH4QHG
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDr6gQUbQC
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eFnaq3Z2q
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vOq9DjWXE
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ175j3qfqAW
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOMvf7809B
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6oyIsqTSo
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGCKp8kxBG
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhiOfOtvvc
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT8YHAgsyR
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYPHsUUuwJ
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbuVS10OxG
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgBhtaP0iQ
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmiZ0fuVm8
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUtZevvHIa
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRm7VHAdk2
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPaaWjbkwc
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXoDKibg7D
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeznq63GcQ3
"I second to that," said Zoey.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIpXGMewHD
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp0und4jKS
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzjPwV528Q
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM49cEXSYa
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTG4uVaCX6
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6zpHaKDar
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObHybNGHo1
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEhM6vk5Rx
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd08lAnXYK0
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjjSIkgAP0
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yhur1lxLK
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iUNbXpr1I
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT73EBpAywl
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBcfSzhS5r
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UCaJ14Oi9
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmv5LTWJ2A
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxO6Z2Qk28
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt7KCPfEdr
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCYZsYcCtu
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgELCIuN0n
"Yep," Young-jae answered.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DTWGc7DmL
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f2Eju8P2l
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9NeTYKxjF
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWaGE6vZ1R
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVkGbXPQ6O
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTIR3qesMX
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEGce2jomy
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaLZn0Jpmq
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuRBBc6zEP
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhetztESOm
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqQYY1NFSb
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ892sqrDPO
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJepavpDI9r
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgKfN1RnLN
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkV3wf3vmA
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq7Ve99rpV
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s8CDkhhRC
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz5OfRiSQQ
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMX9jSIJWl
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QLHPnS7OT
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEMuUYb7K7
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJEXfx8Hew
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyCJyBY6Ki
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppAZYNu9vW
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8OjtEP0bD
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJB7x4BcQ4
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgeucqyzQr
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGKB66erNu
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqT3BpjV76
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mxQItITOJ
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAei48kwsG
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1SqzW0bTq
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPD2MLQ3tO
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzESfdnUULw
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngBvWFh7o5
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdLKWwNOFx
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSCon4fHtm
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElKNEVDRWU
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteoaCPqkpZ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntu7fk7Zk7
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjsAlcgRz3
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnerZfnBZR
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO84Ec3CNg
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcOBCKc4oW
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhTyANh6vF
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHEBhBhP0C
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHposm3RI79
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBRhrcMuvC
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:680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjClTCBsHdw
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfbKJDg0fq
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSom6TBZ2u
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0heU7HBbv
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzw6gq839m
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSUXtiZpJ9
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsuCqYxLK7
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk7Cde4g0M
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OFPI8Ys0u
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8UQLWlet6
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPo7hmc5Gr
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzPVHsXyTl
"What reward?" Christine asked.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlumzPBPVP
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHh61DRdSC
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dImeZsSGF
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHbac9NA4f
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI1xBYdq5f
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRAlLLNSHu
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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ynP5yeIWm
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvWmAxeMCH
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dXuNsLaFA
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDUQlRDoba
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnP41CSQL9
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfdbamgeZ9
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPC58zaLRr
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxkU4esSoF
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPdgrHqR5i
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN88GEm4r6n
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDOtiSUkrz
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfnmqfdRxj
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGQeWptVwR
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM3mvhDjT2
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXBuEWQO4M
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQDaUYdfRq
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg9VpQmU6d
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznPcuRQkFi
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGuOXuq5kE
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlylVMfZpuQ
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrqBpEkv5x
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUojI2AY8C
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzJOUFXkqb
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQtY0YZJsF
"We'll do our best," I said.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS0F4mQIkf
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jz3HAQB7e
"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg566mRCU93
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPyCqRY5h0
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQaAFQ6WKM
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzZe1UmFU9
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqIOkyYRot
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQRSjtUsy7
"We all did," said Daehyun.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpxHGjiP2c
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IAagO6QAK
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKKkR9ypIH
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8jWW3mvcL
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW1mvG1Mc0
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZv4cHxsbG
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrPGAyPkye
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcI8xZnoXH
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6uYBEl4TU
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC03kJnOfST
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsLVU02nyT
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzrHZ4mgqB
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTWGeU3b6E
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1E1PhqFc6
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJPnM36mSP
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc9uW3xJ6k
Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3rTTw1Etd
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRw7folx5f
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUN96Dxo2t
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mVTbPdSt5
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZVvkH0ByS
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUhBMw63WK
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn91mjkjYA
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdqYbPfnpY
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcm5ei5tWt
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzsyzuNoiS
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU89EiDfolg
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYQFnWrfpQ
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlnaGkhBda
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQLdPoKVII
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZmVR4sMZG
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbzhjAcMbN
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ueQnQUyHO
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzNTnKT57v
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E6vzlDuLf
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JeRtHLdNL
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9tTcx1srP
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq89AuSCkXx
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnPNedNlz4
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzccjuBLNO
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqHM8zF3h0
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6XRG6g35t
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GRpBlp4gO
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YAgsPeHpP
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizrWoniy1z
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuJLfS7oOO
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQZIwZk7rg
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP5IxCkiD4
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbr2dQGBJt
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE81cigCEhY
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAH36pvFdI
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0WyrlFSRJ
Just as I thought. What a bummer.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZdHU8UYv5
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLETyGFSEt3
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhDz7o7ou7
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNCkGK8YRA
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFMsXW1nC5
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8nzEfJUT9
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzGmYApC6h
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdtRyEo2wz
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf0fWlTIgS
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNy8Lc8asA
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu02p7L5GE
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxVVQL9q0A
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Koo6gZcbg
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosJigsaYbH
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElR9hjpCxd
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28ys2M22Mg
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmHHGfT5yu
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhURrHptt0
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmFB1HXs82
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzBne8Lkkl
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?680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56vozZzTCs
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXcb0GDKdB
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjhUgUIg8V
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG24JJkBoR
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeLzNXdjkx
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBpwNLAt7c
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGyzCMyx3F
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aUrxo7Im9
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbeNdGhx50
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm3GKEia2f
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqk51Mdxea
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2Nvfflr0b
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag3irD0lPV
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM3z17tHbs
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i5u9doc18
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt1XgRjF98
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa2hdReboe
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMMMbBk0GV
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz6C2CtG94
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmUvS81SmP
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUJeM5iWGH
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo46Hm8E6U4
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OHdFrUs0D
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TNRNVb8mv
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyJyTxUEHq
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcxLtMfSR9
"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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2qhVHJBPB
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg6enOYIvl
"Sounds good," said Himchan.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdnuQvJ0MV
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9PlqhIUd9
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeId1WgBUf
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ312nkJ5esr
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAX3zPV3Gy
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJpuIGAZDj
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn0HiTBqSx
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs07aFBkSG
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSangxoF7gx
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjrRZG7I6x
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.
