We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYFqg6DCfx
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9UHmInj33
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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w5rA1w1zJ
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7itjH0HHw
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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsny31YDk94
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmeR2WcKih
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5nA2uFWEU
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSKDHJ5Ziz
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipSXzZUAmw
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ7ssgaw2x
"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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AzJnA578q
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxc6ujxTCe
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIex2fFPrt
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUH8yvI4aq
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonmb5XIBs8
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zmghUD7An
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTwNsW1Ue2
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC4m5Vz3jT
"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."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hCXuHHuYC
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFadxiQjGxr
"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?"970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvS6lDmmLA
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL6OnClzDg
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?"970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlADt1uupGN
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIewmWWPYJP
"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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKLkqdya8c
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv8paVSNWP
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDyGGjgAKF
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VJQkouPed
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qxF6nWOJw
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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmySqYC0oH
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUSskqhvdy
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNqHmcyDcy
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2kF7vIaMt
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj2Wjs7SYF
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBLEGKldRi
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL8OqBCrLy
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6eu8BfNkh
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgpj758n82
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NouTHHFBD
"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."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ228qHZrMLE
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwVAUof0yI
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivNMX2U55P
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6x312tZLb
"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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnHn0v2181
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGkPc4DCV0
"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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J1hmUoE83
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMhQoAjMag
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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXVSmDVH4u
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NVmuBEeWC
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9RebZdRQP
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcoAWWL3LX
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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcsFFaxOlS
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb59hA2y5D
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq1coX8Yca
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwzyp2ZX38
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz039aCAjXO
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkmLHuCTZx
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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuZ3iWC4fR
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10aWyyV3et
He screamed.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZtZcDuQAE
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSmg3bLUxd
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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2y6vjQe0Q
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJmgP89U2e
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2YgsIDgAe
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuKoFGRSCH
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL4IdPlny4
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaFgrkYGwP
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH38iw3EcSi
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaUVoFSbs8
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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiaLxrcImb
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AiR0LxmTz
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx3E08vuXb
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIsZAqSPwF
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fy5LWCy7C
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu2naBxYkb
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoNVEgPbFg
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtPVOs2aQj
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmmGWoZVRY
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx737t0Z9Z
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhT9Ne9QLD
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpF8rFZGRY
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2cQ3lETmv
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QGtqqEjrK
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvPGy1stPF
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKm0AGAwzj
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtXNiP5peI
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOapENllJJ
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8fOe6KG3j
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6QTLpL1sN
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbcSwobqSu
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAhClen8OB
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCGsac9ToS
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkWbaiREEL
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6wh3Zc32A
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4QkX5JZnl
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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeAO0fL04f
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWnk4TgIKh
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0PtIxTOtu
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtM3ea0glu
"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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnAiPhJ51x
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfP3zjJFcy
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKSjkhhLi8
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecNAWyRHCs
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO62w1oENIS
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BGQZim45T
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUTGC18hVs
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCCt2ZSxwQ
"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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppqwe00eTz
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAwdAgmrad
"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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kWwbMrjiD
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRGjRH4l3n
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4UyIuQjGp
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3U3MgyGCK
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxyodLRF0A
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJQkAfTwMx
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuRHHlcx09
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMGJE2D33c
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94i3f5zPR4
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWa9aAvftY
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj9hdLy77g
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnEP8LptJc
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh279Ktgez4
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMKqhspTDy
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYy3Uwdxle
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCRoqSg4Ld
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz43RzPrFiu
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWtcCfpgG7
"I second to that," said Zoey.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlezcAYI5eF
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfSWkf2fpj
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCg9aYEceA
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdH0MMocDk
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzasFDilhGU
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcErXBpw8i
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVLvYsuIUb
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6TFfQEenu
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwzmGAnnfF
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqDn0JwqE0
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY1VduL8gb
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0442sThMnt
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYVzk6IDv0
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBwyiP8qQ8
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7nXC9ubxP
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc5GzsfUN2
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvQxJscpVX
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIM1dQXe8V
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mBT8KblHr
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBnFX7xFqv
"Yep," Young-jae answered.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFFnKoxql2
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTtbo6cftL
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdUac3HgvI
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0JSAfeoFl
"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."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL1kVu6mTm
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOfipof1pq
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkPpCmDlbE
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfctyqfX1in
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySzOhWUhcT
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsiJMbpWWm
"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."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEIqvA1u4R
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWccnP9etX
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWnaV86dsh
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTgpRxzttz
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNod7N0ZuPA
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBdZKNLgHj
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqvTcRaVJb
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRHv9rlCe0
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu3WHahC3z
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsrYTDsaFq
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGDaVEUwQY
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY1OrDEtvC
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscdt2RPy8X
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrhYedhWOd
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoWN4kcxcB
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CGg8Ofs1m
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7QTJISAfL
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDDo9DCmdP
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2zemcXJ4V
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXIXF0LOOG
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J5xmvpfmg
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYWBNW4mP4
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4w7Zxglxe
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEJkTbnPbk
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb53OhpJYkQ
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSUO2aKbo6
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y4dmohokd
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGTmI1bXpj
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLa6hrk1gO
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S0Ff16FNi
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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYVHcKK71M
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX0G4lVrrO
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjhbg8ZVE8
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBR3ERyKgh
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXqFYUMWi8
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pGL1pW6QV
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuGLSmzBWr
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNxd1EnfRt
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:970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ3YSiCg1g
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46Z5bZN9oF
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5MORSlgUU
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV1ZSuTvuy
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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH9cQEugZS
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1kHEsAGth
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSxFldf0BY
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmbwylByEy
"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."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOSCUxAqeR
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvN2BMtHoz
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aQz9eki8i
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3qD2j6XEs
"What reward?" Christine asked.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWaUTkaN0R
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnFrKxO7co
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLABWZZimvC
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHynpeKQ1Iw
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD8kTbdk4S
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYFoXeGFU1
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."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wfj1jaW59
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPdZftYh8y
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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LPxb7fCtQ
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjkryLvXYz
"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."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXd2kvO5d2
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI0ye6pQ75
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRGxIznhU8
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSJxXv1tmp
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiPTjY9d2M
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDOUg0hJTK
"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."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDajMKfp4kS
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiDXVNhXLg
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp41cjHVKSf
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQySCSIGoE
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7haY3QZEC
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXmcN6j6Wh
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QaJFRm59F
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNPK2InGA9
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCLYEHuQTl
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtus4kXBec
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEZ0Cf9VwH
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAwNbSCPWm
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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvGXXZMnPL
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjebTxxts0u
"We'll do our best," I said.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYnNRmMoVM
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqALG8NJcNG
"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BiQS1m8gC
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPUJL7xVKQ
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDZnF6b8Kf
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoX37aTl6I
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEJ8YjjKTY
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ioMD1PVRv
"We all did," said Daehyun.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK2x4kSEc6
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1szFIqsJh
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnacJMRNuez
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4d009pljr
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWuHEplbVH
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvxj1X9zIr
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH0Eci1byh
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmte153A0Vr
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1vUm6Mnm6
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKsRh4fYn7
"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."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsnJRya1Cn
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfPxeotJOy
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEHmOniw05
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4klUYuNB32
"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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfSD6czI7t
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL3MI1ObOK
Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1p5l4pCzW
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aZo8t3COC
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyklXLjhGT
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuQMbU7tWm
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU45LrgxWC
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuijgleg7yl
"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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvScpe983i
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevX98derYN
"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."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr69WwIZcH
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehhLHczYVU
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqCwaGPJ58
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk5oXcAjQ6
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ8jhEkxNR
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrepHVTtKi
"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."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC1G34AKtJ
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzmRFOuokG
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjOMZRPMj4
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi6JXYwD9d
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2gJhjCzKV
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXAzZgEgDf
"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."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBHn5EV4GS
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIwLDOtml5
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMSYMiNwAM
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uTOVhnxCC
"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."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzoxbXpf3E
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP15EL4IUO
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9gAnVbmK2
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpBboChBg2
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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqxmn2ijUI
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQLBI4dYtK
"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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm42zEyF76S
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWN3uLsgiy
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDs8E3mrRI
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2fhnSG6bB
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjreZYarR8
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquQxrEHjGS
Just as I thought. What a bummer.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63I92OoZLM
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQdgH6qegT
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yGUcDm98U
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttblB1UVLe
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuV9pPpA31
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeYZfBrqir
"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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uoimSpDwz
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ7HAhItOa
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoDrvn2vzA
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaoQf6SyxU
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhkk2I4Npb
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclCnMjCiI3
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96oN4etXw4
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYmItwrhAE
"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."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7riRyP8q5
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFArelZDgJ
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL14YiEd54n
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb1NpbGDYp
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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3D2MJ7rZa
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg0Q53WPvN
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?970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx6qaDz4ra
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8ctZUCH0b
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7RL6fJWko
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqiBfG0OaE
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwon99gs6UT
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFWZf9J1E6
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWKQkQ4N7j
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHobNGbTkOP
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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFgrrZJsf9
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AoIraaS3Z
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOvsIBBnDn
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzA3Ev5yFK
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSYt2tNMfk
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPF37z6kHY
"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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwYMQNWFyu
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDdN9u4hao
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceJqEI2CKA
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykP3U2Jv9w
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fwpnFM5xs
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXhMgohmtf
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5HSRqwP2M
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr6RyDRPxM
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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqRLvbpeUP
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTHze5RHJJ
"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."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadTK5mZgyG
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAlMtDufXY
"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."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWMWMTrXKl
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWRolb1ILF
"Sounds good," said Himchan.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYPQ1W78kC
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7oyqHsVJw
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBodPJIL4i1
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqeVgqMtFJ
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPCS1yGVII
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48OuWVKPB6
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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX4eBxrSp1
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMnlOQnJir
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.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7RLSoKAwX
970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bOTWMFcOx
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.
