We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTh1hMexyZ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg1lstCsQq
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡercewK1cdy
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH8ClgXZrQ
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAKptnDbIV
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnvImeprxQ
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNkVvwoPS6
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOQPJpmZdI
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVyTLDD6X2
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeBaObQH3K
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPnjW6uHxF
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZDqQof7aD
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sSUHDWPpz
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOCX3Yk6jp
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinpTdzduYM
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcwih9XIvk
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzQulAIZRs
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpetv2sVdf
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn0QVhPR7v
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWMUAw5R99
"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?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPLKHF1lBc
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QUJhOxj9i
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?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxjhTLp5n6
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyCughWuRG
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8i7i5OOMW
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnAssTYNlw
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ858h5ZP7oc
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7dDgBaiLj
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J5oEKTAN6
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIqu8Hfe3R
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztJTTTy6yb
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDJ9gBlLS2
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa7ztyIWph
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV2e91dSQ6
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUewh44Gcaf
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnOBJLMM7N
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNhQ9y4rYi
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPih6yqr05
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoLa44GVCH
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9Rttiv7UC
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC7i0mKvLR
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmLXDDxlUe
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy09MesE7Oh
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMfi31R52Y
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubwTY5tA8z
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI8xbfVUYc
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U64xO0iSk
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxhGDXej26
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9uu0SdBqw
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOCa8xnX05
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZuWvCF1O1
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45JayTzpFY
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1zpteA7Au
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lVKWpBBAO
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBJidyVmP2
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUjwtB5hN5
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgxeqqMKzi
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhKVs1dSLC
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02f73xLuzs
He screamed.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lZhOVjiaC
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTqV670JRU
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4tlo3FXMB
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzec9o2mcYg
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkeO1s6ov4
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY8NATRT4p
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dT935Td89
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpZaHI4Puv
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9Ov4x7x3A
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7lRGrCblE
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5wJJoIqM9
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRhu7psG1P
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeubE4EqprN
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwwXGpyKrT
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNt915qJvS
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjowQbRemcZ
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5e4p5LQX1
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuKiLPIv77
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2G65SEpWI
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo7ZZypojU
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6chtDXOJFV
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7nOc8f8F1
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX4SU166kN
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqL7ayhHo2
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNGuvX5dsP
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth694OX0U1
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahmVyhhRKX
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusnsQCQOxQ
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K3vYPXFLb
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTB2aVrShG
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywu0vAWZYy
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9tqVO4d7E
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTGvWKu2D9
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX5QkEliBm
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUEJ2fr5Fb
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8ywIvDbJZ
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlt6T3beBr
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv5Qc4veOp
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgATPROqSgr
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFPw7OulTw
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV5psWqMGy
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzahVxbgXxZ
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9qKWVXo93
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcG55t2jZu
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBf4xuMJvL
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bW19C7kUw
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWwnQ2yEEB
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezLmLgZITe
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqp7IAOLSW
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooFN4KjRPQ
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQlREdKgpy
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROq7ocytXq
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zhS7vCNpO
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx56rcigy9g
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sBiOuwKmk
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJAoivZPLu
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9vK1WMhUG
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v1rtPOdMv
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WpqnnsEEQ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz4AcYfsCY
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFX1kYgXKg
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcaXQ0JweQ
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCGvIe6zyD
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU763VtQTD
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLMNxXsdTT
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmp2m8Zsuo
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSH67hoKWs
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYtyl1ySnN
"I second to that," said Zoey.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BSYAmB9FP
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5a7vgQZN1
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BkE5y7HGg
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59oemLFFHv
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ffDpeCPzT
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtd9RDBmEx
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrNpGa8iGu
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LCimekkwj
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOebw8DoDbI
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkSMPaqesQ
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalzr7E60au
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemKjppSohN
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eYxqMAMq9
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfXL3FHpQ8
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFT93VpFpk
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3LbryJCQp
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsnK8qhVy7
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvtfz1FA1S
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlCVzEQ4wj
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u8iXpvWFM
"Yep," Young-jae answered.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1admPzjK9t
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E8V43ZtPQ
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ72AbEl0r
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTUFg9pLrY
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGxRQsNk3R
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JXPMYKcW8
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7wasBFC5F
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ5Muf3diO
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS0BVDPtKk
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6NS4u6Uxt
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSvSIRWHeQ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCeaOxjI7J
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5Fv5kpiQm
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kMElmf6m1
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8QsjDkgfq
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9J1IAa0UP
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBWJYcrf37
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIMnQ7a2IR
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgebWnXGTKD
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sac69H57l
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuC3bAZLC4
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDiBIc5IpD
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jesxCQCGP
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezvJLH3cUN
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97sZRHxRox
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4O4Lfnlek
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QC5pD3QXa
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pB0335u9s
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScDG6OgXmH
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM36OoVcQV9
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCm0E6TYGJ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84t9cOSswx
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGxL4ZQEdc
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrNdexdsOA
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOjFai6yeo
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGHtaxZFEK
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJJQWt3Glc
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuiHNXH1eQ
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt55uPQPjJ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8GGDbJjxr
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswH8nKUkzJ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZjR3B1dku
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrjba9Z3OR
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLZ3G65XoH
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFqzzyW8J7
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHZRhPPjGj
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3hFUVR7PL
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1zOoHuGM0
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:679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElcKLq2d8j
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzoBYXgv8j
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdNhUo2Bvm
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpdV973cSz
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc52UhEwM1
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepTzkH5oDk
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClMJDdy0RA
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs0sOvFifl
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR1cbI4bk2
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5MhIY1kOK
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNr8DZRYSp
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivmXaCbt6b
"What reward?" Christine asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGYH6ZOwUm
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzlWxDe5rP
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQbioWGJI4
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavZaQSmFcd
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9V5XmydDG
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtkd91hjxO
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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoKSJ0BzF2
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2UttxDUOu
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WSpgoEGVK
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lM4ZCaVeB
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkuG3adkS6
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMx11pwcb7
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbXM7iVcQD
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEdf4YNmTa
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDtFZms3R5
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWYrlEVhhS
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuY3wRAhNL
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tLoNvIcyk
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03lE9ULoTc
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuthCdY0uYj
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKKHqRGgab
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4raXuDvu07
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrSBbjFQhc
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxe97xRUWG
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn3xKLXj7l
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrz3fO7HoF
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ886YCtwkVB
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyyzKBwsDs
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6jAUWjmxg
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8uSI2Ts83
"We'll do our best," I said.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVJeLmruMk
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TtawM1Ew2
"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ841yZBZuPT
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6ECFovND9
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnMlkzJf75
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9aTf5sdj5
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3Ei1PMfce
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWQaq1OTMB
"We all did," said Daehyun.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ375qyYW63p
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuhM7NrGnI
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbzCattIVe
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh00Nxpvw41
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYw4qkubA7
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhACXJXhcv7
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nd8G5HRmh
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEB8IXRejB
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimjodIqIj5
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qSeL3ocan
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9WFcoN7xz
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv0OMrzVo8
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPIsiZ9m4R
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUto7Lr1eze
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNugxKMSV4t
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRQNXBaT8V
Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbUS5HHgeP
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLDMKIOrFm
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniLJmmnX6i
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGzIZSqMEI
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10iBsJezbL
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8RrlArumP
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeBigFAewU
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda8laFdc2u
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TQUkAxgXo
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwnLQ0mM1H
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFhqCtTgWi
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXd1OtqlUe
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W44EhkgNC
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjQdukNW2v
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPihZSTyZ5I
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN03J1cEiw
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmzCsJwudN
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f5UcY7Vy3
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkSPVDosuR
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3440lA0Oqf
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4S9tcND7X
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwr5a1w1V8
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZZ1AOIi1u
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtHiAysLnd
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJuqpEkvuC
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOzZ9OGjRy
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2ki73BzO4
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79LfrpkFzQ
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiS2s7vUMg
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9TpbJlF0V
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOqfWXL6aG
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oOtmPN9OD
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbaj37BRWa
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt6bo98kj4
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6LxpSejWt
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73yJorDnXm
Just as I thought. What a bummer.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2A1om3Tey
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZlxUzMvjb
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfiYy9A6D1
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWR98nKElm
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbfyjRbldw
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqVcudpr2d
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05jdgIGufk
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNP6B87beq
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10SOwgtNw0
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV1QWShSyP
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8IQsriSYs
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEDWx52jQ9
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqfYZRAnhs
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtHfyV8exR
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqCywtHKdh
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3ahEhcwgS
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ2Svmp3wS
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4AUFznfCJ
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBCC0wkMXg
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShOQTedMdC
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?679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMYmLmlbBo
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkxXUSTPlh
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCOuxH0nm5
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XP8F8z3f3
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP2WOofpS0
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCOMJDOge2
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2gd2uKyZj
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7lX8dkApw
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2V7LpnhGB
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAbCih2Wrc
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLtun80VAu
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduZvQppgQd
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNID8s9zvjw
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH9PUhSejC
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz0JeokRNX
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tEkHyouVi
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FyJ0xx7U1
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccoaCWkqkz
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7jvh8BSrU
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN7qOhhD56
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ99RHjXF1B
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPimDR6vMkF
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxhQGaq5AT
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLABDDIG99
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHXRcL7sXK
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZeB5le2l4
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5CIFN6OpL
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw15dpslNl
"Sounds good," said Himchan.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jkHXSbquy
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwvDkHsIwX
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBOVeloRei
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkluJiA9Jm4
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NJhDKyg59
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVOxOHU4D8
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVHgFo9GyW
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sWWr8uqMJ
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mdhcPWIyQ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZJCgtcImU
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.
