We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.397Please respect copyright.PENANAWmAtcB9M5n
397Please respect copyright.PENANAM5RLPfKUpR
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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAY0BN5XKLxC
397Please respect copyright.PENANAqsQibtNDRJ
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.397Please respect copyright.PENANA7jNfPmEfby
397Please respect copyright.PENANA4GyesjHoA0
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."397Please respect copyright.PENANAhqQeiRycf6
397Please respect copyright.PENANAeUIqnEhz46
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.397Please respect copyright.PENANAqvL6zgpUaH
397Please respect copyright.PENANA18uQwLH25y
"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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAdK0g0Nbhf7
397Please respect copyright.PENANA6BksXRTvFM
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.397Please respect copyright.PENANAmE6SrbIeKf
397Please respect copyright.PENANA9xXAuueCWS
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.397Please respect copyright.PENANAcshGz4udbM
397Please respect copyright.PENANAVlFp7QLfHO
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"397Please respect copyright.PENANATSMkvVYjZt
397Please respect copyright.PENANApd4bPyugn9
"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."397Please respect copyright.PENANAfd4KpuXArl
397Please respect copyright.PENANAd7Vu9Pwn3H
"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?"397Please respect copyright.PENANAA2Pa4ZmUHm
397Please respect copyright.PENANAd8NlsSSwJ1
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?"397Please respect copyright.PENANAYOg94ZMAS2
397Please respect copyright.PENANABpP3VYXHMF
"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.397Please respect copyright.PENANA55iyqwvhKU
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."397Please respect copyright.PENANAaU3gkumnVQ
397Please respect copyright.PENANAJXgB9TqGpY
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."397Please respect copyright.PENANA01uxlvB6BS
397Please respect copyright.PENANAhcggeR4FaM
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.397Please respect copyright.PENANA1peicJsoVN
397Please respect copyright.PENANATmAKvun6YU
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."397Please respect copyright.PENANAStOCoKCbJW
397Please respect copyright.PENANAPtrnimDYki
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.397Please respect copyright.PENANAjCECT7cr8J
397Please respect copyright.PENANAQStPQOeUq1
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."397Please respect copyright.PENANAM344DtTX1o
397Please respect copyright.PENANAtcDDLKzJMq
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.397Please respect copyright.PENANARc1UMyEBdH
397Please respect copyright.PENANAgcZyWUDOKS
"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."397Please respect copyright.PENANAMlJG8aIZwh
397Please respect copyright.PENANAzhT1GAKwJA
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.397Please respect copyright.PENANAFuy652a56W
397Please respect copyright.PENANA74PBRRp11s
"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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAi3dT70E8KH
397Please respect copyright.PENANAV9RcrKC1gI
"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.397Please respect copyright.PENANARbh292z6O9
397Please respect copyright.PENANABw1Rg0JOyc
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.397Please respect copyright.PENANADHA1k0ittE
397Please respect copyright.PENANAfC26R8fnd4
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.397Please respect copyright.PENANAGtNFH6N45T
397Please respect copyright.PENANAO2ZBwio8U1
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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAGRyW1q3ZpL
397Please respect copyright.PENANAA8qpEzsstG
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.397Please respect copyright.PENANAYwHZt7foNU
397Please respect copyright.PENANAYT1YbwrKa4
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.397Please respect copyright.PENANAAnlJSX1Svo
397Please respect copyright.PENANAI0PFZ6AEA3
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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAz34tAYsUUV
397Please respect copyright.PENANAhJkX06Vt4y
He screamed.397Please respect copyright.PENANABQnUW9LyYN
397Please respect copyright.PENANAFWySNzxgoo
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.397Please respect copyright.PENANA9MyK8yKEHk
397Please respect copyright.PENANAA4uRoPVqY1
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.397Please respect copyright.PENANAg1k0ymIZWN
397Please respect copyright.PENANATuOHJa2k94
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"397Please respect copyright.PENANA8WrjdykTYG
397Please respect copyright.PENANAqRtK814LO2
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.397Please respect copyright.PENANAbcbRCXkaDK
397Please respect copyright.PENANAeQjVRS1Hox
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.397Please respect copyright.PENANACLv4SjTf6K
397Please respect copyright.PENANAPDtVGvjHhN
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."397Please respect copyright.PENANA2T89LDuqkk
397Please respect copyright.PENANAhTmUtfuudd
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.397Please respect copyright.PENANA2WuuETvdXO
397Please respect copyright.PENANAv6Rqdl7Dy8
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.397Please respect copyright.PENANAglRwwFYHjc
397Please respect copyright.PENANAxcBZNxG0O3
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.397Please respect copyright.PENANAGNLIrsjoWX
397Please respect copyright.PENANApWVKgUHeW8
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."397Please respect copyright.PENANAKeXhBo2ITO
397Please respect copyright.PENANAMJvWJHZ1zr
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.397Please respect copyright.PENANALnGjdQCDZw
397Please respect copyright.PENANAddDoRq0MOF
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."397Please respect copyright.PENANAfWeHuCpF7y
397Please respect copyright.PENANAO4r5KxSt1x
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."397Please respect copyright.PENANAZrWF73y20Q
397Please respect copyright.PENANA7CS7BiNTvx
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.397Please respect copyright.PENANA3PU54HXwMS
397Please respect copyright.PENANAlu8WampjL5
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.397Please respect copyright.PENANA5ll5D4P4uj
397Please respect copyright.PENANAXZkf5K1ExL
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.397Please respect copyright.PENANAndBUTMaMng
397Please respect copyright.PENANAuypePFobpa
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.397Please respect copyright.PENANA3lK4besUh9
397Please respect copyright.PENANAvB4u6NFlOG
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.397Please respect copyright.PENANACm7J2o6FEn
397Please respect copyright.PENANAjZfnbwNMYh
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.397Please respect copyright.PENANAx1WGATlwpN
397Please respect copyright.PENANAGXyU9ltK7w
"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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAysW3bAO92g
397Please respect copyright.PENANAqiYRLa8zMV
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.397Please respect copyright.PENANAPdjsCZO0wn
397Please respect copyright.PENANA8hZQ5VTJQx
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."397Please respect copyright.PENANAorzEAyLqfQ
397Please respect copyright.PENANAkvX2cDgOZK
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."397Please respect copyright.PENANA6yszBu37rF
397Please respect copyright.PENANAdGuPGMPpX0
"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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAYokXaqFyrq
397Please respect copyright.PENANAdhhCjhVCpS
"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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAWrys8wlobj
397Please respect copyright.PENANAODKtAS142n
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.397Please respect copyright.PENANA7tgAu3FoX6
397Please respect copyright.PENANANXwwp1YDqC
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."397Please respect copyright.PENANAyWF6Dva4qM
397Please respect copyright.PENANAgLACJr0wJC
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."397Please respect copyright.PENANAiAmKdymiwr
397Please respect copyright.PENANA9AvyeZgEgu
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.397Please respect copyright.PENANAmUwpAjTRjo
397Please respect copyright.PENANAqnEarJHZCG
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.397Please respect copyright.PENANAynD9l8rzMG
397Please respect copyright.PENANAP0rOhcCi10
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.397Please respect copyright.PENANABIt6BhfVmx
397Please respect copyright.PENANAlgN0BIq7Wi
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."397Please respect copyright.PENANA2XhPcHO6PF
397Please respect copyright.PENANAMzxJe2bjjQ
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.397Please respect copyright.PENANA54W9zNR7kf
397Please respect copyright.PENANAAeRSKguqbD
"I second to that," said Zoey.397Please respect copyright.PENANAYiRQKFq0zP
397Please respect copyright.PENANAFiBVDRVY1h
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.397Please respect copyright.PENANACyK1Sa0Oco
397Please respect copyright.PENANAhyRBwRAEBJ
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"397Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ0naywd3y
397Please respect copyright.PENANAiG5Nfyd8Y8
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.397Please respect copyright.PENANA01tPLI5Rgs
397Please respect copyright.PENANAWs5tU7r0pQ
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.397Please respect copyright.PENANAG6yKAYAHYQ
397Please respect copyright.PENANA6qXaGDWAd1
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."397Please respect copyright.PENANAWbNCSunwPt
397Please respect copyright.PENANALVe41ohtt1
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.397Please respect copyright.PENANAZoxwDB59w9
397Please respect copyright.PENANA2PhHIDdwwP
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.397Please respect copyright.PENANAFExHtg5CR3
397Please respect copyright.PENANAlzRSLf19Mk
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.397Please respect copyright.PENANA0qL6Oj4MHF
397Please respect copyright.PENANARPuwiEf3n8
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.397Please respect copyright.PENANAtoRJepUdnQ
397Please respect copyright.PENANALUt6HJ0UiW
"Yep," Young-jae answered.397Please respect copyright.PENANAZVW0DP0OW9
397Please respect copyright.PENANAa3OgdZMWpP
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.397Please respect copyright.PENANABnsF0r2OoV
397Please respect copyright.PENANAOha8ApuwFy
"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."397Please respect copyright.PENANAjOn11WJdMQ
397Please respect copyright.PENANAyK9uMajF2T
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.397Please respect copyright.PENANAfKX4ki2A8Q
397Please respect copyright.PENANAUtwdNz0zja
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.397Please respect copyright.PENANAXgshNwnVgm
397Please respect copyright.PENANAvvlPKH0eNb
"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."397Please respect copyright.PENANAUnfY7x55Pr
397Please respect copyright.PENANAHp3U3DZAF1
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.397Please respect copyright.PENANAjmaOuercNe
397Please respect copyright.PENANAlAHpFMaER5
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.397Please respect copyright.PENANAeWQcx4rYFg
397Please respect copyright.PENANAFstfIQLixe
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.397Please respect copyright.PENANAI0qysp5317
397Please respect copyright.PENANABgIV1wqHiX
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.397Please respect copyright.PENANAVB8bK6FL6S
397Please respect copyright.PENANAUibC5oeWfA
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"397Please respect copyright.PENANAo9mjX5GyVH
397Please respect copyright.PENANAGkOl9pqwct
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.397Please respect copyright.PENANABtkhaooyKh
397Please respect copyright.PENANAfLXRsM7RoL
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.397Please respect copyright.PENANA4ip0gOGKTz
397Please respect copyright.PENANAD3W9OtEHXk
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."397Please respect copyright.PENANAc8tmUtn9I1
397Please respect copyright.PENANAGgDtigSmJr
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"397Please respect copyright.PENANATJBqP9d9Zt
397Please respect copyright.PENANASc8f8WcPKU
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."397Please respect copyright.PENANA9Gl0H3RETH
397Please respect copyright.PENANAMKKhv3kOIE
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."397Please respect copyright.PENANAtXsbWTSESc
397Please respect copyright.PENANAozomqgyEjy
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."397Please respect copyright.PENANA77fBN6E3wb
397Please respect copyright.PENANA0YF7qmyxKZ
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.397Please respect copyright.PENANAhuioklckAk
397Please respect copyright.PENANAHiFihrQgPz
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.397Please respect copyright.PENANAHgXJuOsnoH
397Please respect copyright.PENANA7lIHrHyi5n
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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAnKcaxFDPjB
397Please respect copyright.PENANAEgogT0y1bJ
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."397Please respect copyright.PENANAuPSDOBivlW
397Please respect copyright.PENANANEAfS7VbbE
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.397Please respect copyright.PENANAVk72qWxtov
397Please respect copyright.PENANA5XHuwss64P
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."397Please respect copyright.PENANAFrlHIk4hT1
397Please respect copyright.PENANANAam0kEyKD
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:397Please respect copyright.PENANAVUcXRDZU5y
397Please respect copyright.PENANAusWSChmYr4
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."397Please respect copyright.PENANA9SC3gBLV3B
397Please respect copyright.PENANAb1UAmbCYlt
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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAwCk7DB44aQ
397Please respect copyright.PENANAzpeMICEUk4
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.397Please respect copyright.PENANAF4MjXNi028
397Please respect copyright.PENANABYb6swAqA6
"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."397Please respect copyright.PENANAdDvqGgMBZv
397Please respect copyright.PENANA74OAxtMoHE
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.397Please respect copyright.PENANAhe1CUG9cTY
397Please respect copyright.PENANAx1HaZsItvu
"What reward?" Christine asked.397Please respect copyright.PENANAvffn7cNBUa
397Please respect copyright.PENANAfQW9F6Iz2K
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.397Please respect copyright.PENANAR2evGZvvrR
397Please respect copyright.PENANAsuMvRcVRQx
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.397Please respect copyright.PENANATbchLSc8cO
397Please respect copyright.PENANAPnDI4dol93
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."397Please respect copyright.PENANA9QvzHFlI2g
397Please respect copyright.PENANA8gCHP999HI
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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAOnHRPH4qGx
397Please respect copyright.PENANAsyIcY6TECJ
"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."397Please respect copyright.PENANAsfVw1xhQEg
397Please respect copyright.PENANAAitlUx0vsr
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.397Please respect copyright.PENANAHg36pRu7Xk
397Please respect copyright.PENANAabQOo06tqc
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."397Please respect copyright.PENANAymkFoLKqKL
397Please respect copyright.PENANAa02eh2VAF3
"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."397Please respect copyright.PENANAziCnJO5FSM
397Please respect copyright.PENANAkTV0j8QUJY
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.397Please respect copyright.PENANAFkM0LA7Jp1
397Please respect copyright.PENANA3abSQ02gvR
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."397Please respect copyright.PENANAfO3oxE9ARk
397Please respect copyright.PENANA7MKDk4F7cB
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.397Please respect copyright.PENANASXB9TWrPca
397Please respect copyright.PENANAWO48tX1vXM
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.397Please respect copyright.PENANAAbhcNKKTTC
397Please respect copyright.PENANAq5sEeTOCFr
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.397Please respect copyright.PENANAsvqOqQryx4
397Please respect copyright.PENANANlJeYHANco
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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAD6XWaZz22C
397Please respect copyright.PENANAjc7ruLOw13
"We'll do our best," I said.397Please respect copyright.PENANAFqu1THvzzl
397Please respect copyright.PENANAsaJ7A8yVNy
"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.397Please respect copyright.PENANAfo4BDAgppy
397Please respect copyright.PENANAKrilvgODf0
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.397Please respect copyright.PENANAGn2fMpj6mk
397Please respect copyright.PENANA1v4UuS8eA6
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.397Please respect copyright.PENANAFf3Ey64cTZ
397Please respect copyright.PENANAUBMkSMhVvm
"We all did," said Daehyun.397Please respect copyright.PENANAeIaaY1oUNJ
397Please respect copyright.PENANAIegIvPltJe
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.397Please respect copyright.PENANAljDXlV6Eyi
397Please respect copyright.PENANAKeTv4BENPB
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.397Please respect copyright.PENANA5TdUVWBeSh
397Please respect copyright.PENANAGcGaRX12Xf
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.397Please respect copyright.PENANAtLowun2wbw
397Please respect copyright.PENANA7YM9KBz9Mv
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.397Please respect copyright.PENANAgEtCnQCRqY

"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."397Please respect copyright.PENANAoRfTjqJQqn
397Please respect copyright.PENANAgmBQlC0Uqp
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."397Please respect copyright.PENANALmPRsfvkvI
397Please respect copyright.PENANAjOV7Zo89wA
"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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAIZsTs0Bgkl

Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:397Please respect copyright.PENANAm2HbJL6uwt
397Please respect copyright.PENANAwNs8QV1Pro
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.397Please respect copyright.PENANAUOBigzeWgN
397Please respect copyright.PENANAtxeP1OqQ9e
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.397Please respect copyright.PENANArdkaAYkl5q
397Please respect copyright.PENANAExw27eqVOC
"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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAQw2x70vorm
397Please respect copyright.PENANAGU1hEHvJJ3
"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."397Please respect copyright.PENANAUHjV1TmjiW
397Please respect copyright.PENANAM0rddsnzz9
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"397Please respect copyright.PENANApMpsOqRrKh
397Please respect copyright.PENANAlnmjw0XEFd
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.397Please respect copyright.PENANA4VDujr4wN9
397Please respect copyright.PENANADGSHvdhrh9
"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."397Please respect copyright.PENANAWfCeI4felU
397Please respect copyright.PENANA4IxECbNSau
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.397Please respect copyright.PENANAhO8lcOQe7W
397Please respect copyright.PENANAvQtRityxjc
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.397Please respect copyright.PENANA0I4DMQga5B
397Please respect copyright.PENANAN8TZtAB5PI
"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."397Please respect copyright.PENANAPGWYt7txQp
397Please respect copyright.PENANAkn5mfoIJcw
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."397Please respect copyright.PENANAZGbrCGeTt4
397Please respect copyright.PENANAFm2e2zA1iu
"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."397Please respect copyright.PENANAwFE1A46nbK
397Please respect copyright.PENANABHXKEz9KkW
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.397Please respect copyright.PENANApedX1Iwqzr
397Please respect copyright.PENANAxCpx4Ka0aw
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.397Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZPU8hJugZ
397Please respect copyright.PENANAYgbMsjL7It
"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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAbpz158iRHI
397Please respect copyright.PENANAIivYLqGyQe
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.397Please respect copyright.PENANA2ds1xWvrkW
397Please respect copyright.PENANAz0sc39pe54
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.397Please respect copyright.PENANA352g5OJzu7
397Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4ALzh7gGT
Just as I thought. What a bummer.397Please respect copyright.PENANAZN145hByFQ
397Please respect copyright.PENANA3zOvuJKnEk
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.397Please respect copyright.PENANATsEjol6Y2r
397Please respect copyright.PENANAab9vGznksG
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.397Please respect copyright.PENANA6MbJ7p4CxJ
397Please respect copyright.PENANAEON3EhlbJO
"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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAGOyTD7B0Cs
397Please respect copyright.PENANAUliPsxkqFh
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.397Please respect copyright.PENANADBSpgENPii
397Please respect copyright.PENANAnXtg5NnxeK
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.397Please respect copyright.PENANAPJzrcIGMzT
397Please respect copyright.PENANAmcap65OAxK
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.397Please respect copyright.PENANArN1nkr5JSE
397Please respect copyright.PENANACEaEHXIBCH
"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."397Please respect copyright.PENANAFkwETPqYEP
397Please respect copyright.PENANAnoGjaC59qe
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.397Please respect copyright.PENANATXRUxMUML1
397Please respect copyright.PENANAjWVKCLtvnJ
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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAsa2eZFkHqf
397Please respect copyright.PENANAOoPlPYT9ga
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?397Please respect copyright.PENANAkkLEa3eRkt
397Please respect copyright.PENANAhNvYNgUr03
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.397Please respect copyright.PENANA8dxcg7GkWX
397Please respect copyright.PENANAbIKXvlOWUf
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.397Please respect copyright.PENANAN1Cvglk1Kw
397Please respect copyright.PENANAKPArnmEI5Q
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.397Please respect copyright.PENANAuVG3tncDdU
397Please respect copyright.PENANAkB9lNydjaR
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.397Please respect copyright.PENANA3SOnKh4deN
397Please respect copyright.PENANAMt13Cg5SGM
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."397Please respect copyright.PENANAp0rzCVNhWU
397Please respect copyright.PENANAnzMgDrgiJ0
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.397Please respect copyright.PENANAlqO9AMw7MD
397Please respect copyright.PENANAiqf2ntASAm
"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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAuTBq16NtSl
397Please respect copyright.PENANAdZeEFR1bZL
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.397Please respect copyright.PENANAtrMy2yrIvc
397Please respect copyright.PENANAXDNlv44AO9
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."397Please respect copyright.PENANAXN3T8T4bcq
397Please respect copyright.PENANAGdaDxOtTkV
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.397Please respect copyright.PENANAiWOFfPF2fV
397Please respect copyright.PENANAu7gKLrBa8I
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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAS9gbGKVY6P
397Please respect copyright.PENANAYcSwtjx54S
"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."397Please respect copyright.PENANA6cSyRhoYN1
397Please respect copyright.PENANANq0ERdeOcQ
"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."397Please respect copyright.PENANA7rVQk5FJdg
397Please respect copyright.PENANAjDBcdCxlq2
"Sounds good," said Himchan.397Please respect copyright.PENANAui0IyJJUv7
397Please respect copyright.PENANAaKyQGYVMaQ
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."397Please respect copyright.PENANApZCT8Q6MYb
397Please respect copyright.PENANAtcH8XWwUUe
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.397Please respect copyright.PENANATwH1X6pEO5
397Please respect copyright.PENANAqVLeYQZ3eA
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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAlApOUmVtzG
397Please respect copyright.PENANAN7Cje1MxRU
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.397Please respect copyright.PENANAKcQByIJKuF
397Please respect copyright.PENANAX1cNlMd8pi
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.
