"Okay, so here are the lyrics for the song," I said after writing them down.724Please respect copyright.PENANAftyRgzVfQH
724Please respect copyright.PENANAopyyWMMcvk
Everyone's attention automatically turned to me. They all fell silent. I read out the lyrics first then sang them out.
"So, what do you think?" I asked, addressing the question towards BAP.724Please respect copyright.PENANA6LN3Hr4FeG
724Please respect copyright.PENANAMmwtSMUx0O
"Just admit it," said Zoey, "the song is awesome."724Please respect copyright.PENANA5qGhfalGhy
724Please respect copyright.PENANAJY8jVvQNZX
"Zoey." Christine gave her a look that told her to keep quiet. "Let the others take it in first."724Please respect copyright.PENANAwVldJAu5wy
724Please respect copyright.PENANAxw4somNJGU
"Zoey's right," said Daehyun. "The lyrics are great."724Please respect copyright.PENANAVQvoInMmC8
724Please respect copyright.PENANAQ72vmXsvXd
"I now get what Daniel said," said Zelo, "the song is meant to be sad, but it's fun to sing. You can hear it with the way Sam sang it out."724Please respect copyright.PENANAbzFpTNrQbD
724Please respect copyright.PENANAL0MSoiVIyF
"You should listen to the tune," said Mike. "You'll love it."724Please respect copyright.PENANAhJXWsZGm5D
724Please respect copyright.PENANAH2nGCSLYgt
"I bet that's why you went searching for the guitar," said Jongup as he looked at me.724Please respect copyright.PENANAP49kUDUCcd
724Please respect copyright.PENANAOEBuTYgaWl
"Play the guitar, Sam," Himchan insisted. "We're all dying to hear it. I bet Yong-guk can't wait any longer."724Please respect copyright.PENANAJL0WRcy4Hw
724Please respect copyright.PENANA0FPmcBxjVo
"Huh?" Yong-guk looked at Himchan beside him, looking confused. "No, I'm not."724Please respect copyright.PENANAUmuKoKx0m6
724Please respect copyright.PENANAcbS7DPTh4k
"Of course you are," said Yong-nam as he gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "Don't forget, I'm your twin."724Please respect copyright.PENANA4zLexKdIyb
724Please respect copyright.PENANA4VvVCdXWd7
"Okay," I said as I took the guitar that had been laying on the table the whole time. "Let me play it, then."724Please respect copyright.PENANAeWCJr74Mqz
724Please respect copyright.PENANAbxFvVuGNVZ
I positioned the guitar properly before me with my crossed legs supporting it. Before I started to strum the strings, I took in a deep breath. I played out the tune first. Afterwards, I started to sing out the chorus. It wasn't long so it ended sooner than expected.724Please respect copyright.PENANAR9paTC1kc0
724Please respect copyright.PENANAMH7YwTedPZ
"Wow," said Young-jae, looking at me like he's just seen something's dazzled him. "The song's going to sound awesome."724Please respect copyright.PENANAQalBb5FKpr
724Please respect copyright.PENANAritiUe3gum
"Thanks," I said. "Oh, before I forget," I reached out for the pencil on the table and started to write something down. "We also worked on the first verse, but we couldn't finish it up yesterday. We were having a little trouble with the words so we want to see what you guys think."724Please respect copyright.PENANAhRJKEnvJsh
724Please respect copyright.PENANACap1zgLian
"Alright," said Yong-guk, looking to see what I was writing on the paper. "Whatever it is, I bet we can handle it."724Please respect copyright.PENANAdr9XygfQy4
724Please respect copyright.PENANAiGbSRjzP1y
"Can't wait to see you try," said Christine. "But then again, if it's you two l'm not worried."724Please respect copyright.PENANAYcGrkwUVbf
724Please respect copyright.PENANAa3B9Pp5eRu
"There you go again, Christine," I said after writing down the lyrics. "Okay, here we are." I laid down the pencil aside on the table.724Please respect copyright.PENANA9nKKWeSlFu
724Please respect copyright.PENANA06v3roCMGR
I felt Jongup lean closer so as to see what I had written. I leaned to the side a little, but his blond hair almost covered my face. I couldn't help but take a sniff. His hair smelt really nice. Well, this seems unusual. I tried to lean away further so as not to smell him.724Please respect copyright.PENANAygivZDbY1q
724Please respect copyright.PENANAnYk8xy3eN9
"Come on, Jongup," Zelo complained. "You're distracting Sam. We all want to hear what she has written."724Please respect copyright.PENANAzkMVqZOIr8
724Please respect copyright.PENANA671nF3lU4z
"I don't think that I'm distracting her," said Jongup as he looked at Zelo. "Right, Sam?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAYzDmQRLwcw
724Please respect copyright.PENANAfBsI4QT2Cm
It's when he turned his head to look at me that I yelped and leaned back further than before, almost falling to the floor. Instead, I ended up leaning on Yong-nam.724Please respect copyright.PENANAzTb2dV0nrW
724Please respect copyright.PENANAZTTMbxYFmU
Jongup looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. It's either he didn't know what he was about to do or he knew and was just playing dumb.724Please respect copyright.PENANAt3uROsKgyR
724Please respect copyright.PENANAwmKAu5Zeoz
"What's wrong, Sam?" he asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAtCIdBtjOm1
724Please respect copyright.PENANAhLoADY8DBY
I suddenly blushed. He really didn't know that he had almost planted a kiss on me. Anyway, it's best not to tell him. I hope the others hadn't noticed.724Please respect copyright.PENANAiXtrHHLdkd
724Please respect copyright.PENANA3hFLC07jXf
"Goodness, Jongup," said Mike, "you almost kissed my sister."724Please respect copyright.PENANAbaHD5RRnq3
724Please respect copyright.PENANAqiWVt7TK1T
And it just had to be Mike. Goodness, me!724Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5iqtrEVCN
724Please respect copyright.PENANAO31M3TYJjR
"Huh?" Jongup looked surprised. "I did?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAnWYyphiM6I
724Please respect copyright.PENANAr9qw0J7i7U
"And you were this close," said Zoey indicating a tiny space with her index finger and thumb.724Please respect copyright.PENANAdXKThi3uYq
724Please respect copyright.PENANA5zGJ7U7sxJ
"Oh...," Jongup turned to look at me. I was still leaning onto Yong-nam's shoulder. "I'm so sorry, Sam. Maybe I shouldn't have leaned in too close."724Please respect copyright.PENANA7WEqxqaJ2f
724Please respect copyright.PENANAnAEPYRCTLp
"You see, I told you so," said Zelo.724Please respect copyright.PENANAyeHRL9XgMg
724Please respect copyright.PENANAZkJX903Jli
"No, I'm okay," I said as I sat upright. "Sorry for leaning on you like that, Yong-nam. I hope I'm not too heavy."724Please respect copyright.PENANARTKOdvZFax
724Please respect copyright.PENANAr8pIO2InZI
Yong-nam cleared his throat. "Not at all," he answered. "You're actually pretty light."724Please respect copyright.PENANAK04ywA8hPZ
724Please respect copyright.PENANAJrNJEyZ7Wa
I nervously laughed, not sure whether he meant it or not.724Please respect copyright.PENANAu4GUYS76Xe
724Please respect copyright.PENANAdi3TFxyOzr
"Wow," said Zoey as she delightfully clapped her hands together. "First Sam avoids Jongup from kissing her and then she leans onto Yong-nam who prevents her from falling. So sweet."724Please respect copyright.PENANACVvvRsxKiN
724Please respect copyright.PENANAJvMCn3DYdA
"You're such a fantasist, Zoey," said Daniel as he shook his head.724Please respect copyright.PENANAY5G1bON2BD
724Please respect copyright.PENANAm1fgee7D0U
"Don't mind her," I said. "Can we forget the kissing incident and focus on the song, please?"724Please respect copyright.PENANADLOfv8uEFa
724Please respect copyright.PENANAXE0C8aJCLv
"Sure," said Mike. "That's if we can reset Zoey's brain or else she won't stop talking about it."724Please respect copyright.PENANA2r7H1y9PYL
724Please respect copyright.PENANAsbVOBIjOV6
"Are you saying that I'm kookoo?" Zoey asked, looking at Mike.724Please respect copyright.PENANAG5LTnaoKqW
724Please respect copyright.PENANALhooDEHFcw
"You can argue later, you two," I said, giving them a look. "Let's try and focus."724Please respect copyright.PENANAizdDArt2ss
724Please respect copyright.PENANAQ88Rjoos4R
I went back to looking at the paper in front of me and read out the lyrics for them. Just like we did with BAP's song, we started coming up with lyrics. But this time, it proved to be a lot difficult than we expected. Whatever we came up with didn't really fit with the song.724Please respect copyright.PENANA8gyTgcLfe5
724Please respect copyright.PENANADo6gP1ky2X
"Is it just me or something's just off?" Young-jae asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAspvPuBoI69
724Please respect copyright.PENANAo4zDlkYSBG
"I think I feel what you mean," said Zoey as she scratched her head.724Please respect copyright.PENANAKaPSgm8kh6
724Please respect copyright.PENANAd7TjSNOZbd
"Huh? What's Zoey saying?" Himchan asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAbitshDSWwm
724Please respect copyright.PENANAZqu4uCqPKC
"I told you we should've rewired her brain a little," said Mike as he turned to look at me. I shook my head. Zoey on the other hand, ignored him. That's so unlike her.724Please respect copyright.PENANAxK9jeIF6Ih
724Please respect copyright.PENANA6W0l82wafr
"I feel we aren't working like we did the first time," said Christine.724Please respect copyright.PENANAo2LOkM197E
724Please respect copyright.PENANAj2isAXbTUL
"Ya, that's what I meant," said Zoey.724Please respect copyright.PENANAN5hGF0iTJq
724Please respect copyright.PENANAEw56WdL9kK
"We just aren't coming up with the right lyrics," said Yong-guk, "that's all."724Please respect copyright.PENANAviJd3lrMjo
724Please respect copyright.PENANAiBTirL540q
"Why is that?" Himchan asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANArfIocQ1PBz
724Please respect copyright.PENANAmF1AmbG01R
"Who knows," said Daniel. "What do you think, Sam?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAxXPHVcs4AA
724Please respect copyright.PENANAXWnh4gjuRY
I shrugged my shoulders as I also couldn't figure out why we found it so difficult. I scratched the back of my head and pouted my lip a little.724Please respect copyright.PENANAfGzjBoTgsI
724Please respect copyright.PENANATg1yM0MJUw
"You look like you're about to cry, Sam," said Jongup.724Please respect copyright.PENANAzKuKWrjNoe
724Please respect copyright.PENANAWluuwY3mDY
"Don't mind me," I said. "I'm frustrated that we're going nowhere."724Please respect copyright.PENANAoVQbmHk6A9
724Please respect copyright.PENANACrX21XVhBT
"Maybe we're all just tired," said Zelo.724Please respect copyright.PENANA6GCGz6etvX
724Please respect copyright.PENANAPOm27Ptx7T
"I felt we rested enough," said Daehyun.724Please respect copyright.PENANAKVsbtFu22C
724Please respect copyright.PENANATaFVXwIpw6
"Or maybe we've been in the same place for too long," I suggested. "Sometimes the environment contributes greatly."724Please respect copyright.PENANAlzbX1vnAU1
724Please respect copyright.PENANA8Kz5gPnd3e
"Maybe," said Yong-guk.724Please respect copyright.PENANAyOdpNhxsIt
724Please respect copyright.PENANAWaxnAarjzF
"What do you think, Yong-nam?" Christine asked as she turned to look at him.724Please respect copyright.PENANAgySHdnxBjE
724Please respect copyright.PENANA0amS1nsIXa
He raised his arms up to stretch. As soon as he put them down, he said, "I think we're all just tired. We exhausted ourselves working on BAP's piece and thought we would do the same with this one. If you ask me, we should just call it a day and continue tomorrow."724Please respect copyright.PENANADMFNmjxoMS
724Please respect copyright.PENANAuzk2rbarr0
"Tomorrow?" Daniel looked shocked at the idea. "Won't that be a little too late for us?"724Please respect copyright.PENANANVR27ybwnX
724Please respect copyright.PENANAsLtjdE2MT5
"You're right," I said as I slapped my forehead. "We've to meet the songwriters and composers for the album. We won't have enough time."724Please respect copyright.PENANAJA8006t9O9
724Please respect copyright.PENANA0KHXOOMjzI
"Not forgetting that we should at least have something to present to Yang Hyun-suk," said Zoey.724Please respect copyright.PENANAgz0Mow9gKk
724Please respect copyright.PENANAg9xcAOXzng
"I told Collins to buy me more time, but I doubt Yang Hyun-suk will even want to hear it. Goodness, just thinking about it feels overwhelming." I buried my face into my hands.724Please respect copyright.PENANAM1xX1fD2ya
724Please respect copyright.PENANAuvZQVvKloL
"Now I wish we never had to make an album," said Zoey as she leaned back on the chair and sighed.724Please respect copyright.PENANAgmEKgMB1Qj
724Please respect copyright.PENANAKG1YzCAqek
"Wow, you guys are working on an album?" Jongup asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAMx5GUqdyPG
724Please respect copyright.PENANAE5QsuoeQTQ
"Yep," I answered as I lifted my face up from my hands. "Our managers are ambitious."724Please respect copyright.PENANAGY3Wu4dyYM
724Please respect copyright.PENANANyi5HFMLPo
"At least we don't have to worry about the other songs," said Zoey.724Please respect copyright.PENANAd12kwR10OB
724Please respect copyright.PENANAcer1dwCWMk
"But you heard what Collins said this morning, Zoey. This one has to be awesome. But the way we're so exhausted, I feel we aren't going anywhere."724Please respect copyright.PENANAj4RFlUPqrJ
724Please respect copyright.PENANAkCCz9KL7bC
"I think we should take a little break," said Yong-nam.724Please respect copyright.PENANA6TlE4yhdOm
724Please respect copyright.PENANAKm6R8pFumy
I went back first onto the floor with my eyes closed. I really did feel exhausted. Why did fatigue have to settle in like this?724Please respect copyright.PENANApoYm3HYJpR
724Please respect copyright.PENANAa1m0jSbgo1
"You're scaring me, Sam," I heard Yong-guk say.724Please respect copyright.PENANAYLydSENaiK
724Please respect copyright.PENANAE7joWcdd1l
"Oh, don't mind her," said Zoey. "She started this and finding a way to finish it is frustrating."724Please respect copyright.PENANAwAGRpevTZ7
724Please respect copyright.PENANAphT5lqF0w4
I smiled a little at what Zoey said. Starting something and not finishing it really is frustrating, especially if it involves something that you really love to do. And with time ticking by, Yang Hyun-suk and Collins will have no choice but to be disappointed tomorrow.724Please respect copyright.PENANACpDf1bOBmY
724Please respect copyright.PENANATaCuLFAPyl
"Wait..., does this mean we won't have the reward Lee was talking about?" I heard Daniel ask.724Please respect copyright.PENANAvtNXXOrhae
724Please respect copyright.PENANAJGugkUgnEJ
I opened my eyes as I remembered Daesung's invitation. I really wish I could tell them the truth, but I held my tongue. Even if we leave this place without much progress, Lee won't hold us back because it isn't much of a reward, but an invitation to go out for an outdoor movie. I sat up.724Please respect copyright.PENANAwVpqyCXBbo
724Please respect copyright.PENANAmU1APyK5mt
"Don't worry about that, Daniel," I said. "Lee will give us that reward."724Please respect copyright.PENANAOG2ia37wBK
724Please respect copyright.PENANA5PtcRQp8qs
"For someone who seems tired, you sound pretty confident," said Himchan.724Please respect copyright.PENANAXmd0XPGZLO
724Please respect copyright.PENANAjiPU9wQd8r
"I just know." I smiled at him as I shrugged my shoulders.724Please respect copyright.PENANAJyNCpteyjc
724Please respect copyright.PENANANUZufZIS7e
"Do you've any idea what it could be?" Daniel asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAoRMhSxqr7b
724Please respect copyright.PENANATxfGjPjnbO
I shook my head. It's best it turns out as a surprise.724Please respect copyright.PENANAZrX4sohfEF
724Please respect copyright.PENANASpFbvfiJiY
"So, what are we going to do now?" Zelo asked. "Just sit and do nothing?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAJUYb1fBHby
724Please respect copyright.PENANAremWQxtDue
"We can do something fun to pass the time," Christine suggested.724Please respect copyright.PENANA3SWQVc7SHh
724Please respect copyright.PENANAyp6hTuW2gC
"Not me," I went back to lying down on the floor.724Please respect copyright.PENANAA99Q6rM2Xx
724Please respect copyright.PENANAuD16yrjmlj
No one said a word. I could feel a few eyes on me, while others, I'm guessing, gave each other looks.724Please respect copyright.PENANAwFhL93FcKE
724Please respect copyright.PENANALlIEIXyEIW
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "You're such a party pooper."724Please respect copyright.PENANAWwGULQN0zL
724Please respect copyright.PENANA8GXgRM2go4
"Haven't heard you call me that in a while," I said as I smiled at the ceiling.724Please respect copyright.PENANAi6P2EvUL6P
724Please respect copyright.PENANAwHudQV5pPV
"Get up, will you? This is no time to be lying down."724Please respect copyright.PENANAJWUZes2p03
724Please respect copyright.PENANAAMiieMoMAb
"There's nothing wrong with lying down to rest, is there?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAXSMWwGqFoA
724Please respect copyright.PENANAwczWVlx8NM
"Goodness, me." Zoey sounded frustrated. She couldn't argue over that and she knew it.724Please respect copyright.PENANAu8398Upq2M
724Please respect copyright.PENANAxVViVlMqUV
"Maybe we should call Lee to pick us up," Mike suggested.724Please respect copyright.PENANAja2KpPcwj3
724Please respect copyright.PENANAsUTgwpn1qm
"Don't bother," I said as I closed my eyes. "With us not under her radar anymore she's probably doing something for herself right now."724Please respect copyright.PENANAp8YFzj4c3o
724Please respect copyright.PENANAd2aUGzHLhL
I heard Zelo and Daehyun chuckle while I heard Christine and Zoey mutter out in frustration.724Please respect copyright.PENANAdfSnzRaWjf
724Please respect copyright.PENANA3bwnxSXbDV
"Looks like you're stuck here with us until Lee comes to pick you up," I heard Yong-guk say.724Please respect copyright.PENANAPHYZ9DakzP
724Please respect copyright.PENANAh5LYcBGtvw
"But we can't sit here doing nothing," said Daniel. "Like Christine said, we better find something to do."724Please respect copyright.PENANABGmrKpCxzW
724Please respect copyright.PENANA4hTjB61VPi
"You should be resting," I suggested, my eyes still closed.724Please respect copyright.PENANATtow48fyjM
724Please respect copyright.PENANAtdssaNL21T
"Well, we don't want to," said Zoey. I imagined her folding her arms and looking at me like she would at Mike when he got her angry.724Please respect copyright.PENANARiPMNnn1dM
724Please respect copyright.PENANAIPl6slJo1q
I smiled. "Suit yourself."724Please respect copyright.PENANAus7lAzEXhc
724Please respect copyright.PENANAC2hwmompG1
"No one wants to do karaoke in the recording booth?" Jongup suggested.724Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4tt0A5c7Z
724Please respect copyright.PENANAXYxTHwn9kv
"I think we've done enough singing for one day," said Daehyun.724Please respect copyright.PENANAiTPVxA9pI2
724Please respect copyright.PENANAgOZFeCbiVY
"I agree," said Zoey.724Please respect copyright.PENANAhWDnII0a2N
724Please respect copyright.PENANAwoBSmEUz74
"If there's clearly nothing to do, then I think we should be resting like Sam's doing right now," said Yong-guk.724Please respect copyright.PENANAscpUCRRIUd
724Please respect copyright.PENANAAIvcyA9wAZ
"I like your thinking," I said with my eyes closed. I raised my hand to give him a thumbs up.724Please respect copyright.PENANA8OUHbaa0JL
724Please respect copyright.PENANAM1LyRAW0RL
"You songwriters all think the same," I heard Christine mutter.724Please respect copyright.PENANAHxuHKG3Vh7
724Please respect copyright.PENANAmzS1X1MQKB
"I might not agree with all this," Mike started to say, "but I'm going through with Sam's idea. I'm just going to lean back on the couch a little."724Please respect copyright.PENANAJAAC0njOK8
724Please respect copyright.PENANAtVmjTZkYXN
"Huh? Not you too, Mike," said Zoey, sounding surprised.724Please respect copyright.PENANAqULnpFxRkE
724Please respect copyright.PENANAVHKmNZ0IRP
"Quit it, Zoey." I heard him move on the couch, obviously putting himself in a more comfortable position. "There's nothing to do. Why not relax for a bit?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAHfyQDLTQoq
724Please respect copyright.PENANA8BYODM6Diq
"I shouldn't be surprised coming from you."724Please respect copyright.PENANATbdeCWUHVt
724Please respect copyright.PENANAAru39aWn8a
"Ya, ya, ya, Zoey. I'm the bad guy here. Doesn't matter now, does it?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAjQ0YbuxJsa
724Please respect copyright.PENANAqmyg45VQCA
"Well, if there's nothing for you guys to do at the moment, then I'm going to work on something," said Yong-guk.724Please respect copyright.PENANAjVQcuCQPnx
724Please respect copyright.PENANAgonn6LSb8j
"And what could that be?" Young-jae asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAsuSHpglYQN
724Please respect copyright.PENANA8AajXCUu0w
"Our song, of course."724Please respect copyright.PENANA0I9m9stY7m
724Please respect copyright.PENANAGsv7RqAGEI
"You go ahead and do that," I said.724Please respect copyright.PENANAgdZUd030AD
724Please respect copyright.PENANAn8YYjr05wy
There came an awkward pause and I opened one eye to look at him.724Please respect copyright.PENANAww7d9lC8iG
724Please respect copyright.PENANA7lSTEUimQw
"You look surprised, Yong-guk," said Yong-nam. He took the words right out of my mouth.724Please respect copyright.PENANAuoqcxrLzpX
724Please respect copyright.PENANAarpJZEQNfH
"I thought that would get Sam up from the floor since she seems to really like helping out," said Yong-guk.724Please respect copyright.PENANAwl5Q1wm5Mp
724Please respect copyright.PENANAzm1i0LKuJW
"I'm drained," I said as I closed my one eye and placed my open palm under my head. "As exciting as it sounds, I'll pass."724Please respect copyright.PENANAfpzUpFqO6I
724Please respect copyright.PENANAH8ul1Sxq4c
"Okay, then," said Yong-guk. "And you, Mike?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAdq673w5i4L
724Please respect copyright.PENANA7giaSL95c9
"I'll pass too," said Mike.724Please respect copyright.PENANAQNc8LtdV8m
724Please respect copyright.PENANAzvW757rsH2
"Okay. I'll be by the console. Any of you guys want to join me?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAnt73RZ4hlk
724Please respect copyright.PENANAoGTrASp8bt
"Well...," Zelo sounded hesitant and I heard a scratching sound across the table. I imagined he was scratching his head, wondering whether to go or not. "Me too," he finally said. "I don't feel like working on the song right now."724Please respect copyright.PENANArsQeerkjuu
724Please respect copyright.PENANAvgIPyLYF91
"I'm going to relax over here too," said Young-jae.724Please respect copyright.PENANAGItCogJo3Z
724Please respect copyright.PENANAdrtaLiXz0O
"What's up with everyone?" Yong-guk asked, sounding surprised.724Please respect copyright.PENANAXSCnuJ4I9u
724Please respect copyright.PENANA8nKBoqEm2c
"Like Yong-nam said, we're tired," I said as I sat up. "The best thing to do right now is relax."724Please respect copyright.PENANAUE4g58zeR0
724Please respect copyright.PENANAzjMnDEXuGt
"Aren't you worried about not making progress on your song?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAZBC0KHvKIm
724Please respect copyright.PENANAq7zq9ixq4k
"I was about to ask the same question," said Zoey with a sulky look on her face. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAulKDKqKPL1
724Please respect copyright.PENANAE74PDhkdn9
I shrugged. "At first I was, but right now, I need to relax a little before my brain explodes. Don't let me stop you from working on your song."724Please respect copyright.PENANAzkI84FfKIT
724Please respect copyright.PENANAs1WjmKikfj
"Alright, then," said Yong-nam as he also slept on the floor. "Looks like I can also rest. Keeping your eyes on time can be tiring too."724Please respect copyright.PENANAnricdHkI8l
724Please respect copyright.PENANAoG4KXCLU9i
"You of all people shouldn't even be sleeping," said Yong-guk.724Please respect copyright.PENANAftKw8mlioT
724Please respect copyright.PENANAdGEn4YIVYw
I laughed. As much as I wanted to hear these two brothers argue, it ended there. I went back to sleeping on the floor.724Please respect copyright.PENANA4QCjeQtdFr
724Please respect copyright.PENANAiKn2GVIf2W
"I'm going to join the relaxing spree too," said Jongup, as he pulled out his phone from his pocket and slept on the floor beside me.724Please respect copyright.PENANAQOpXvDCaIm
724Please respect copyright.PENANAVkfLsYYtxN
"Looks like the majority wins," said Himchan as he chuckled.724Please respect copyright.PENANAEFmfSK2EKc
724Please respect copyright.PENANAcSRwTDmVnO
Zoey mourned in frustration. Even I could tell she's tired. She had no choice but to give in.724Please respect copyright.PENANAaF1wpxGjA5
724Please respect copyright.PENANAHYtKbUD7Ag
"Oh, man!" Daniel muttered out loud.724Please respect copyright.PENANA6rQ48SjELP
724Please respect copyright.PENANAYIdceuiQJg
I lifted my head from the floor to see what Daniel's doing. He had his phone out too and tapping at it. He's probably playing a game.724Please respect copyright.PENANAkm0Ju9YfZf
724Please respect copyright.PENANAK4QJNwpfrs
"Sorry, guys," he said. He quickly looked up from his phone when he noticed people's eyes on him. "Playing a game over here."724Please respect copyright.PENANAWrba4kZj0d
724Please respect copyright.PENANAV1qgJ1ulVI
I shook my head at him as I put my head back on the floor. I looked beside me and saw Jongup on Instagram looking at cute cat videos. I turned the other side to see Yong-nam with his arm over his face, covering his eyes. He did seem just as tired as all of us. He did help come up with some lyrics, so no argument there.724Please respect copyright.PENANADbBOaCtusO
724Please respect copyright.PENANA4vS4lsHnMm
I heard Zoey sigh and that brought a smile across my face. "I give up," she said. "I haven't been on Twitter lately. Time to see what's going on in the world."724Please respect copyright.PENANAYqUSnEQAMk
724Please respect copyright.PENANA09jF9Pt6G1
"I think I'll have a little shut-eye," said Christine.724Please respect copyright.PENANAUdpy6XjSN7
724Please respect copyright.PENANA13PW4ufFV5
Everyone seemed to be busy doing their own things now. I counted Jongup, Daniel, Young-jae and Zoey on their phones. Daehyun, Himchan and Zelo were engaged in a conversation. Even when Mike was resting on the couch, he seemed to be contributing whenever he can. Christine, Yong-nam and I were really the ones resting as we closed our eyes.724Please respect copyright.PENANAYZHFvL4cH6
724Please respect copyright.PENANAQpWQOfcwC9
I heard someone stand up and guessed it was Yong-guk. I could hear footsteps head towards the other side of the room where the recording booth and console were. He seemed serious with what he wanted to do. I continued to lay there on the floor, hoping that I don't fall asleep.724Please respect copyright.PENANASCCelca75X
724Please respect copyright.PENANAH7u36TZUjI
I found myself slowly imagining about the outdoor movie we were going to watch. Will it be an oldies movie? I would love to watch such. It just sets you in the mood when it has to.724Please respect copyright.PENANAI2pcO3FZsP
724Please respect copyright.PENANAkcUPxSqDv8
I heard Jongup chuckle to himself and I knew he's still on his cat videos. A thought crossed my mind. Here I am thinking of the outdoor movie when I should be thinking about the song. I don't feel like dwelling on it. Now is the time to relax, nothing more.724Please respect copyright.PENANAR0S2wqttc8
724Please respect copyright.PENANAsqdG4DxdUU
"Hey, Sam?" I heard Jongup call me. "Are you asleep?"724Please respect copyright.PENANACcdOLguAYY
724Please respect copyright.PENANAhMMPK8ckGd
"No," I answered. I drew my eyes open and looked at him. "What is it?"724Please respect copyright.PENANA0lz1mGQH81
724Please respect copyright.PENANA3ufkp38Giv
"Watch this," he said as he scooted closer that our heads nearly touched. He held his phone up for the two of us to see. We watched a cute cat video where a little white and brown kitten was chasing a movable toy mouse on the floor. It was cute and yet funny at the same time as the kitten tried so many times to capture it. Jongup and I laughed.724Please respect copyright.PENANAsmh6CUv4VH
724Please respect copyright.PENANA6mj6dwop7v
"Oh, my," I said as I wiped away the tears in my eyes. "The little kitten really struggled. But you've to admit, it's so cute."724Please respect copyright.PENANAZEBHypaFbk
724Please respect copyright.PENANAD5M2xEDVde
"I know," said Jongup. "You should see this previous one. It will knock your socks off."724Please respect copyright.PENANAzInc7YGLBU
724Please respect copyright.PENANAoAcYweHNH1
I joined Jongup in watching more cat videos. We soon moved on to watch people participate in various dance challenges.724Please respect copyright.PENANAgZZm7Jo1AB
724Please respect copyright.PENANAnwUmV5cZQ2
"We should've a dance challenge one day," I said to Jongup as we watched.724Please respect copyright.PENANAl4k5xHOWid
724Please respect copyright.PENANAF4b2plerP9
"Huh?" he turned to look at me. "We should've a dance challenge?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAIHKceyOmuw
724Please respect copyright.PENANAAei11HcIQE
"Ya. I mean The Toxins vs BAP."724Please respect copyright.PENANAyVf9Zxgq6O
724Please respect copyright.PENANAcCYi1Nzctl
"Oh..., like the one you had with Monsta X?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAux3kd3mO51
724Please respect copyright.PENANAOU1oOBBQAn
"Yes, like that one. You watched it?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAYu37kPyL8I
724Please respect copyright.PENANAxuKkundKYV
"I think a lot of us did. People really liked it."724Please respect copyright.PENANAlpVHL1qZIy
724Please respect copyright.PENANAiTuIOnYckM
"Too bad we lost. But it was fun. We should've one one of these days. That's if we could even make the time for it."724Please respect copyright.PENANALpCsMFOssf
724Please respect copyright.PENANAPsZrup51FF
"Oh, you've an album to work on."724Please respect copyright.PENANA7cGaEP62JI
724Please respect copyright.PENANA0TUsCxgZiP
I stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Just thinking about it drains me." I went back to looking at his phone.724Please respect copyright.PENANALu78xSWRUJ
724Please respect copyright.PENANAAq1voFp8ke
"Did I hear someone talk about having a dance challenge with BAP?" Zoey asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANACDF9g5kj5c
724Please respect copyright.PENANAfASeHYCLk8
I raised my head a little and saw Zoey still on her phone.724Please respect copyright.PENANA6sCkB74dN8
724Please respect copyright.PENANADtCLIX85mD
"Yes, I said that," I said as I dropped my head and stared at Jongup's phone.724Please respect copyright.PENANAgq3KDTI0Zz
724Please respect copyright.PENANAh9F6wc9SRO
"Why not do so now?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAvG1tWVhKm1
724Please respect copyright.PENANAhbAkCXj6ut
"No!" Christine, Mike and I said out loud at the same time.724Please respect copyright.PENANAYjDEb5KCDN
724Please respect copyright.PENANAXnuulMRVvm
"Eish, guys. It's why I asked. You don't have to eat me alive."724Please respect copyright.PENANAFWdEQB03Bv
724Please respect copyright.PENANAC2qlS3hTqN
Himchan and the other BAP members around the table started to chuckle.724Please respect copyright.PENANAn09RUAFENY
724Please respect copyright.PENANAUoIrpxQ0bX
"You Toxins really are something," said Himchan. "You do know that the majority of you opposed, right?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAP284vrmPmm
724Please respect copyright.PENANA79g9mx3iI6
"Except Daniel," said Zelo.724Please respect copyright.PENANA4snW5KFwKm
724Please respect copyright.PENANAA8EzXcgym7
"Oh, I refuse too," said Daniel, still on his phone.724Please respect copyright.PENANAdwvZ0QSio7
724Please respect copyright.PENANAPj4vg43rsT
Zoey tsked. "You guys are no fun."724Please respect copyright.PENANAzua5TknJ4c
724Please respect copyright.PENANA5aUamvZqop
"Use logic, Zoey," said Christine. "We're all tired and don't have the energy for a dance challenge."724Please respect copyright.PENANANq6Wlup6Pv
724Please respect copyright.PENANAm2el46ZHyw
"I know that. I thought maybe someone's in the mood for it."724Please respect copyright.PENANA5X7yvA8lp6
724Please respect copyright.PENANARo99haD8WE
"No one is in the mood for it," said Mike.724Please respect copyright.PENANA68BwlGtMVP
724Please respect copyright.PENANAseJPJiN4EG
"And what if the BAP members were?"724Please respect copyright.PENANA0Dh5UBLpoR
724Please respect copyright.PENANAZvara20Wed
I heard Daehyun nervously chuckle. "To be honest, Zoey," he said, "I'm definitely not in the mood."724Please respect copyright.PENANAHMPzvBjyum
724Please respect copyright.PENANANtWtkkKUd9
"Me too," said Young-jae.724Please respect copyright.PENANAkAzHequPzZ
724Please respect copyright.PENANAZA0wck0jJb
"Me three," said Zelo.724Please respect copyright.PENANABEuBsbADE9
724Please respect copyright.PENANAWN4KPYAceg
"Guess I don't have to ask you, Himchan," said Zoey, sounding unimpressed.724Please respect copyright.PENANAjOGJFP4gWY
724Please respect copyright.PENANApsA05DtMOt
Himchan, just like Daehyun, nervously chuckled too.724Please respect copyright.PENANAq6gxUL89kC
724Please respect copyright.PENANAmZBJIJmKyd
"You can ask Yong-guk," Zelo suggested.724Please respect copyright.PENANAFmyOlmIVDy
724Please respect copyright.PENANAukBjnALWLu
"Nah. He's already busy and I don't like to be a bother."724Please respect copyright.PENANAWMc451eT4s
724Please respect copyright.PENANA3iftj7MTGP
"Really?" Mike asked. Uh-oh. I smell an argument brewing. "You bother a lot of us everyday."724Please respect copyright.PENANAjPQRKZRhj3
724Please respect copyright.PENANAR9S7y08rCM
"What did you say!?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAsZI8QelExD
724Please respect copyright.PENANArFSEHsHG37
"Quiet down, Zoey," said Christine. "You're disturbing Yong-nam. He's probably asleep."724Please respect copyright.PENANA48RXd46SOE
724Please respect copyright.PENANAWtmAvpTMHF
I turned to look at Yong-nam beside me and saw him move his arm above his eyes. He had one eye open. He turned his eye to look at me. I almost yelped. I felt embarrassed that he had caught me looking at him. The corner of his lips raised to a smile. He closed his eye and moved his arm back to cover his eyes. That was it.724Please respect copyright.PENANAitpMxDNRZi
724Please respect copyright.PENANAGnNnidaFCi
"I bet he isn't," said Zoey. "Is he, Sam?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAlZkPM32HFh
724Please respect copyright.PENANAEV1hJfysrY
"Huh?" I got a little caught off guard as I didn't answer Zoey's question.724Please respect copyright.PENANASaPFZoKrk2
724Please respect copyright.PENANAabs4gCYbsx
"Is he awake?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAb9d1utps4C
724Please respect copyright.PENANAwdU134DvY5
"Not sure," I answered. "He would've said something if he was."724Please respect copyright.PENANAuOvu8SNKOM
724Please respect copyright.PENANAHbr12Kg2wl
I looked at him and noticed a wide smile on his face. Okay...., didn't know what to make of it, so I quickly turned my attention back to Jongup's phone.724Please respect copyright.PENANA55u4uifcHr
724Please respect copyright.PENANAZRqgtTflr1
"Anyway, where was I?" Zoey asked as she paused to think a bit. I noticed that no one's willing to remind her. It's best not to.724Please respect copyright.PENANAEM7xtCIDSZ
724Please respect copyright.PENANAC1F8qZxoeo
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "It's what you said, Mike. How am I a bother to you?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAMy8KwW7nRt
724Please respect copyright.PENANAXjeFxz47cB
"You're being a bother right now. I'm trying to rest and you're disturbing me."724Please respect copyright.PENANAjU0IXyEbmh
724Please respect copyright.PENANAU4cpU7pBiM
Zoey hissed that I thought a snake had magically appeared in the room. If she was one, no doubt she would attack Mike first.724Please respect copyright.PENANAamNrRLpFe0
724Please respect copyright.PENANAcouyPRHflz
"Enough," said Christine. "No one wants to see or hear you two fight."724Please respect copyright.PENANA8YAzy3QORx
724Please respect copyright.PENANAWbEPpv008Z
"Mike started it," said Zoey.724Please respect copyright.PENANAE2N67zCqe5
724Please respect copyright.PENANAxRwmgS411n
"You amplified it," said Mike. "You always do."724Please respect copyright.PENANAfMEErN06cE
724Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ51MxvbAp
"For once I agree with Mike," I said. "Let it go, Zoey."724Please respect copyright.PENANA1hBrXtt3dr
724Please respect copyright.PENANA6jeuhGUeIF
"You guys are unbelievable," said Zoey.724Please respect copyright.PENANAsY9OzWPwzd
724Please respect copyright.PENANAUupN8zDeEG
"You're unbelievable," said Himchan as he chuckled. "You really are a drama queen. No offense."724Please respect copyright.PENANATIAkwNESIN
724Please respect copyright.PENANAM7BkcmnNSo
"None taken. These guys call me that all the time."724Please respect copyright.PENANAu229pBhmiZ
724Please respect copyright.PENANA57SMeAYlRT
After a while, all of us settled back to what we were doing. I was still watching videos with Jongup when I suddenly sat up from the floor. If I continued lying there, I would probably have a backache.724Please respect copyright.PENANAzdWBEZOu9b
724Please respect copyright.PENANAOzeTGgyPRm
I stretched out my arms and stood up, stretching my whole body.724Please respect copyright.PENANAoOlJ1hSlrq
724Please respect copyright.PENANAyy26ZZPBGN
"I've had enough of watching Instagram videos," I told Jongup.724Please respect copyright.PENANA55WdS8ErRH
724Please respect copyright.PENANAA3pDiSuNJi
He gave me a smile and went back to looking at his phone. I turned to look at everyone and almost all of them were either quietly resting or on their phones.724Please respect copyright.PENANA8H55YLESwq
724Please respect copyright.PENANAOF2hxuYN9f
I looked over at Yong-guk who was still seated at the console. I decided to go over and see how he's progressing with the song.724Please respect copyright.PENANA85UyWKRwA4
724Please respect copyright.PENANAbIcmVhC4Rm
"Hey, there," I said to him when I got behind him. I bent over to look at him from the side of his face.724Please respect copyright.PENANArQjdNMnqqK
724Please respect copyright.PENANAO8sf8DNxW0
"Oh, Sam," he looked up at me, surprised. "I didn't hear you coming."724Please respect copyright.PENANASqByTnTqKC
724Please respect copyright.PENANA1MM46DpE9q
"I've cat feet," I said as I took the empty seat next to him.724Please respect copyright.PENANAjG7qdjRSvx
724Please respect copyright.PENANA7WqgyfIUNA
"Cat feet?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAAMNmrn1pBq
724Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ2uLmOu1H
"I'm told there are times when people don't hear me coming so they say I've cat feet. I sometimes scare them."724Please respect copyright.PENANAdbiCwNUS33
724Please respect copyright.PENANAuiUb0lTvUA
"Oh, I see."724Please respect copyright.PENANArB00Am1uko
724Please respect copyright.PENANAB3RYqY0p66
"It's true, Yong-guk," Zoey said behind us. "So don't upset her or else she might come to your room and murder you."724Please respect copyright.PENANAaOFel8at8n
724Please respect copyright.PENANAHjCTutAYQ5
"I'll keep that in mind," said Yong-guk as he turned to smile at her.724Please respect copyright.PENANAqa9IgKDbNh
724Please respect copyright.PENANA2lUyJVfk95
"Don't listen to her," I said as I turned to look at the console in front of me. "So, what are you really working on? I thought we were done and dusted with your song."724Please respect copyright.PENANAeVBS2gBowm
724Please respect copyright.PENANAzmxYbxrTzk
"I'm not working on our song," said Yong-guk as he went to work on the laptop.724Please respect copyright.PENANA2pDcgsMcmw
724Please respect copyright.PENANAly7hzBcxbK
"Then, what are you working on?" I raised my eyebrow at him.724Please respect copyright.PENANAkTKC5xv1s2
724Please respect copyright.PENANAtqCOTeU56G
"On your song," he answered.724Please respect copyright.PENANAz22cKLYVk0
724Please respect copyright.PENANAS9wfrgTzkD
"Huh?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAe0oHf7up3T
724Please respect copyright.PENANAvonYkq3Q2T
"The tune you played earlier gave me a little inspiration to somehow come up with an instrumental. It's still not finished since I just started."724Please respect copyright.PENANAqaXsmaSI7W
724Please respect copyright.PENANAYg9U3XNdHC
"Wow." I'm surprised. I didn't think Yong-guk would go this far. I didn't even know what to say.724Please respect copyright.PENANAihqikJu7di
724Please respect copyright.PENANApZRcfbBdQw
"Hey, are you okay, Sam?" Yong-guk asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAwVcO8LvclW
724Please respect copyright.PENANAZAtEcK9Ywx
I quickly turned to look at him. "Huh?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAgBuk4Y4w6w
724Please respect copyright.PENANAJNNKTPycEY
"You spaced out for a bit. Is it a bad idea that I'm working on the instrumental? I know there will probably be someone working on it, but I thought I could do something, you know?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAjB0bOcxhUk
724Please respect copyright.PENANA6LdVmJUptr
I smiled at him. He really means it. There aren't many people in the world who are so thoughtful.724Please respect copyright.PENANA06mgxvPGpV
724Please respect copyright.PENANAey0g9WbQn2
"I know what you mean. And no. I think there's no better person to work on it than you, Yong-guk."724Please respect copyright.PENANAo26ufzuNJd
724Please respect copyright.PENANApLTVybPBv7
"Really?" He looked a little surprised with what I said.724Please respect copyright.PENANAPaHieyzbXl
724Please respect copyright.PENANA75Njw47G2X
"Of course! Who would've thought we would've you helping us? It's actually really nice of you."724Please respect copyright.PENANAhwFv9B8LaC
724Please respect copyright.PENANAGlcRnVMukK
I noticed his cheeks start to redden a little and he quickly turned away. I continued to smile. I had this overwhelming feeling like I could hug him, but now isn't the time.724Please respect copyright.PENANAqGZg8ycEz0
724Please respect copyright.PENANACZMWLVORxt
"May I hear what you've done so far?" I asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAHDSCwk62WX
724Please respect copyright.PENANASMwtg0nHlx
"Ah..., sure," he said as he brought over the laptop closer.724Please respect copyright.PENANAp15hpCSPt7
724Please respect copyright.PENANAeGKuoMCS82
He showed me what he had done and even when the instrumental was short, it sounded great. He really did follow the tune and melody like I had done with the guitar. He also added a few beats into the mix making the song sound more like pop.724Please respect copyright.PENANAb0f8m5HgCu
724Please respect copyright.PENANAW3GhN4AXLp
"Amazing," I looked at him with so much awe. "It's no wonder you're such a great producer."724Please respect copyright.PENANAXK2n6Xy8Tm
724Please respect copyright.PENANAUf7ZZpu3ib
He chuckled. "Coming from you, that means a lot."724Please respect copyright.PENANAJDPvhnI0cG
724Please respect copyright.PENANAUiXnd4ufKA
"The others should hear this." My ear twitched. "I know you're there, Mike."724Please respect copyright.PENANAkUGc2uQ0dK
724Please respect copyright.PENANARGJPan5DeB
"Dang it!" I heard him mutter. Yong-guk and I turned around to see him behind us. "How come my cat feet can't work on you?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAWYIcgyvzCw
724Please respect copyright.PENANA3oDYhPu5Dc
"Because what you've ain't cat feet," I smirked at him. "You've to work a lot harder than that."724Please respect copyright.PENANAKYTdzXHcOo
724Please respect copyright.PENANAjACMPddPgO
"Anyway....," he came closer and placed his hands on my shoulder and Yong-guk's, "what is it that some of us have to listen to?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAXHqOJE3sxF
724Please respect copyright.PENANAgpbi9Yc1hq
"This," I said as I pressed the play button on the laptop, playing out the instrumental for him.724Please respect copyright.PENANAxSMCqPzRjg
724Please respect copyright.PENANAOx9DMaUvSZ
"Wow," muttered Mike. "But wait..., why does this beat sound familiar?"724Please respect copyright.PENANABPVVLHxCBA
724Please respect copyright.PENANAtfvoUfnhH0
"It's because it's the beat to our song, silly," I said to him.724Please respect copyright.PENANAVdJvKkh3a3
724Please respect copyright.PENANArn7BLzZ4AD
"Wow! Really!" I saw Mike look at Yong-guk just like I did earlier, with so much awe. "This is what you were working on?"724Please respect copyright.PENANASwhYqQZgWT
724Please respect copyright.PENANArMuFNsv5c3
Yong-guk nodded his head. Mike almost screamed like a girl, but he tried not to be so loud. I couldn't help but chuckle. He looked like his five year old self when he got a remote control car for his birthday.724Please respect copyright.PENANAzNJuGNbcbb
724Please respect copyright.PENANANJtA36Ewhv
"You're amazing," he said as he patted Yong-guk on the shoulder. "This song will be awesome."724Please respect copyright.PENANAO28COorwZL
724Please respect copyright.PENANAScnV41GQtR
"Thanks," he said. "You should be thanking your sister, though."724Please respect copyright.PENANAehoo1XFZeF
724Please respect copyright.PENANAk4y5EpHkNg
"Huh?" Mike and I looked pluzzled.724Please respect copyright.PENANAaW7mFm4hAq
724Please respect copyright.PENANAAkKfsHyLOu
"Remember what I said," he said as he looked at me. "The way you played with the guitar inspired me to come up with this."724Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7H2d0BYme
724Please respect copyright.PENANAlT6NjuH8Tn
"Oh...," I forgot he said that. Now it's my turn to blush, and Yong-guk smiled.724Please respect copyright.PENANA2fNTKy7Qrn
724Please respect copyright.PENANArBsnEHTPE5
"Ya, my sister is a genius," said Mike. "May I join you?"724Please respect copyright.PENANA9Dnx8BUelJ
724Please respect copyright.PENANAOeuhYl0M5L
"Sure," said Yong-guk. "With you two here, I bet we can work on it together."724Please respect copyright.PENANAuDBdsY14eT
724Please respect copyright.PENANAVcD7m0vKiy
"And probably come up with lyrics for the song," I said when it dawned on me. "That's why you wanted me to come and join you here by the console."724Please respect copyright.PENANAw8cH7daPCh
724Please respect copyright.PENANAwVt4mhcyOq
"I see you've got what I intended to do." Yong-guk turned to look at me with a smile. Mike sat on his other side. "I thought working on the instrumental will give you some idea on lyrics for the song."724Please respect copyright.PENANAzxLGVA2DBi
724Please respect copyright.PENANAm7905XErBV
"We'll see," said Mike as he rubbed his hands together and looking at the console before him like a hot, tasty meal he couldn't wait to put in his mouth.724Please respect copyright.PENANAOIS88gzEBa
724Please respect copyright.PENANA57EAcghzjS
"Alright, let's start," said Yong-guk.724Please respect copyright.PENANAc73UjBnxiW
724Please respect copyright.PENANABMC3YOhxJb
The three of us worked on the beats maker software on the laptop. With Mike's creativity and Yong-guk's producer skills, working on the instrumental was smooth and simple. We had no idea how long we had been working on it, but we had fun and joked around whenever we could.724Please respect copyright.PENANArqlznkXXF2
724Please respect copyright.PENANAF31HTefzwZ
"Hey, what's going on here?" Himchan asked as he came to join us.724Please respect copyright.PENANAcld4zoM3r7
724Please respect copyright.PENANAy31NFlQSVS
"We're working on an instrumental," Mike answered.724Please respect copyright.PENANAV9VA9Zv1sx
724Please respect copyright.PENANAmoJDDoCS3c
"Which one?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAm5ZuYJdKGq
724Please respect copyright.PENANA986neqoJgN
"For our song," I answered. "You should hear it, it's really good."724Please respect copyright.PENANADE6pYq9033
724Please respect copyright.PENANAA7muCcW6ix
"Oh, I thought you had run out of ideas for the lyrics."724Please respect copyright.PENANA3nQzw3rGpe
724Please respect copyright.PENANALfFEkAMf2e
"Well, I did. Maybe if I continue working on the instrumental, I might come up with them."724Please respect copyright.PENANAchZQr2ugke
724Please respect copyright.PENANAad3Xp3wrQ1
"How far have you gone doing so?"724Please respect copyright.PENANA6kR05rQ1uk
724Please respect copyright.PENANAfquPxAWPUq
"Not too far," Yong-guk answered. "We've only tried to work on the first part and heading to the chorus. But even that needs a lot of work."724Please respect copyright.PENANAhBAYX8TC6M
724Please respect copyright.PENANAyWofB1YHWO
"I agree," said Mike.724Please respect copyright.PENANAEUcnT4tpG6
724Please respect copyright.PENANAG4GhBxYWSu
"And you're going to use this instrumental for your album?" Himchan asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANA98j0QYOWmz
724Please respect copyright.PENANAC8ZIIkDWAL
"Of course we're," I answered, looking back at him. I now understood why he asked and I winced.724Please respect copyright.PENANAW3UhQ6ZNgL
724Please respect copyright.PENANAocXtySMzTC
"What is it, Sam?" Mike asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAOojWqGi8Te
724Please respect copyright.PENANAtupCmWLv8i
"We need to seek permission to use this instrumental." I scratched the back of my head. "Goodness, why didn't I think about this before?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAjfpT7o1XLc
724Please respect copyright.PENANAjUXKQVuxVu
"Oh, ya," Mike turned to look at me quickly. "Why can't you give Collins a call and tell him that we've someone helping us?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAvkb0pg2qlC
724Please respect copyright.PENANA6rsKQvVQNc
"Collins may agree. But what about Yang Hyun-suk?"724Please respect copyright.PENANA7UPIMbKgEW
724Please respect copyright.PENANAkAP0p9Yk3G
Mike and I stared at each other. We both winced like we had done something wrong and we would be in big trouble for it.724Please respect copyright.PENANA2ykRA4tkYR
724Please respect copyright.PENANA4nBui7mDgc
"Gosh, the man is troubling," said Mike as he leaned back in his seat. "He can hunt you in your dreams if you think about him too much."724Please respect copyright.PENANAXDnVl3BaDs
724Please respect copyright.PENANAUrOCQhYikr
"He's really strict," I said. "And he's also hard to impress. If we do play out the instrumental for him, would he really like it?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAK2FEAQuM2v
724Please respect copyright.PENANA4eURGMD2jr
"This is your tune and melody, Sam. So, he can't refuse. I mean, the song we did with BigBang was all you too."724Please respect copyright.PENANAlAauWVNtza
724Please respect copyright.PENANAx86uwEOGVS
"It was?" Yong-guk and Himchan asked at the same time.724Please respect copyright.PENANAeNuLGt4Vab
724Please respect copyright.PENANAYHcmVStila
"Never mind that," I told them as I went back to looking at Mike. "I'm worried because Yong-guk is helping us produce this one. Will Yang Hyun-suk agree?"724Please respect copyright.PENANA0W8TPCpVJW
724Please respect copyright.PENANAk8BdueeRBF
"As long as he knows you thought of it in the first place, he'll definitely agree." Mike leaned forward so as to look at me.724Please respect copyright.PENANAZHEd9xquLp
724Please respect copyright.PENANAOdAzBguBa5
"Does this thing involving me always have to be highlighted?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAvxBmFBREXa
724Please respect copyright.PENANAZvWGxsh9l6
"Daa, yes! Out of all of us, Yang Hyun-suk approves of you the most. He'll definitely go through with it."724Please respect copyright.PENANA4x8gOHpCy7
724Please respect copyright.PENANA0cmLyzGHTr
I gave Mike a look. I don't consider myself as Yang Hyun-suk's favourite among The Toxins. I'm just afraid he won't approve.724Please respect copyright.PENANAXaSEKhfJTP
724Please respect copyright.PENANAaskNI3B1hc
"Okay, if that's the case, than what of Yong-guk? Will he really help us through till the end?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAED0VqkYFdS
724Please respect copyright.PENANAVV0D3iRCbJ
"I don't think we've to worry about that. Besides, even if he didn't offer to help, he seemed to do it out of his own free will, you know."724Please respect copyright.PENANAWzqk1DkRLa
724Please respect copyright.PENANA5MCumcNxgu
"I'm right here, you guys," said Yong-guk in between Mike and me. "I can clearly hear you."724Please respect copyright.PENANAxsEhyl4tN3
724Please respect copyright.PENANA38rt8zo82J
Mike and I turned to look at him, then ignored him like he wasn't there. Himchan chuckled.724Please respect copyright.PENANADVp5Cgg4Pa
724Please respect copyright.PENANAFbaMPtMAJX
"You're right," I said. "He'll stay till the end. He's such a good friend for helping us out."724Please respect copyright.PENANATnSAOhWz5R
724Please respect copyright.PENANADCQn22YZjs
"I know right," Mike smiled. "He's awesome."724Please respect copyright.PENANAtrEWhiXcCn
724Please respect copyright.PENANAAsR1unflMN
"I think you better focus on giving Collins a call, Sam," said Yong-guk, trying to sound serious, yet falling to do so.724Please respect copyright.PENANA9zLEUQo2aA
724Please respect copyright.PENANAQ09hcMWx38
"Aww," Himchan complained. "Their conversation was just about to get more interesting."724Please respect copyright.PENANAdIjyHVBBJm
724Please respect copyright.PENANAieJ1TvanEz
I laughed. "He's just trying to hide the fact that he's blushing."724Please respect copyright.PENANAimg57MejNf
724Please respect copyright.PENANA7FxG0sP6f9
"No, I'm not," said Yong-guk as he folded his arms and looked straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.724Please respect copyright.PENANA0nfQZ9JEy9
724Please respect copyright.PENANAnp0BItzEmo
Mike burst out laughing that he leaned back further in his seat. "Stop trying to put up a serious face, Yong-guk," he said. "You look awfully funny."724Please respect copyright.PENANAMe9QMy0W57
724Please respect copyright.PENANAGbNvYu7dZn
I couldn't help but agree with Mike as I also started laughing. I had to keep in mind that I had a phone call to make. I soon stood up from my seat.724Please respect copyright.PENANAeH1q7mYk4b
724Please respect copyright.PENANA8RONdNBdTn
"I'll be back," I said as I tried to stop laughing. "You better not have that face when I get back, Yong-guk."724Please respect copyright.PENANAf348hLx6kQ
724Please respect copyright.PENANA7LXdK2eIjF
I walked away from the others as I made my way to the door. I needed to be somewhere more private if I am to talk with Collins.724Please respect copyright.PENANAJxWnBnHFJk
724Please respect copyright.PENANASBJmnQ4v4E
I stepped out into the hall and looked both ways. There's nobody walking around. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and searched for Collins' number. I pressed the call button and placed the phone to my ear.724Please respect copyright.PENANAxizvIl0nx9
724Please respect copyright.PENANAnjzQW2UvAR
His phone rang, and it kept on ringing. I grew worried that he might not answer. Maybe he's busy. He did say he would be occupied today. I better call him at a later time.724Please respect copyright.PENANA42JgK2lK1p
724Please respect copyright.PENANA0WGDhf4PXF
Just when I'm about to cut the call, he picked up at the last minute.724Please respect copyright.PENANAqemDJpFayU
724Please respect copyright.PENANAFg0HamsN6T
"Hi, Sam," came his voice. "How's song writing going?"724Please respect copyright.PENANA5qlH4aWJHc
724Please respect copyright.PENANACkOpXc13w5
"Not good, I'm afraid," I said as I scratched the back of my head wondering how to bring up the instrumental thing.724Please respect copyright.PENANAd5QhtfREAu
724Please respect copyright.PENANAVlH9s9gxdZ
"You'll figure it out. You do have extra help, don't you?"724Please respect copyright.PENANATfC4Eryidp
724Please respect copyright.PENANARfvLpFzSVp
"I see Lee told you about BAP."724Please respect copyright.PENANAIIA6RcAP8H
724Please respect copyright.PENANAN3p1VbI5q7
"Well, she had to. So what can I do for you?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAMQI1e6Jk9u
724Please respect copyright.PENANAbMVULFNhMJ
"Well, we were working on the song and we felt a little stuck. So we had help with coming up with the instrumental for the song."724Please respect copyright.PENANAPUbPErn3on
724Please respect copyright.PENANAcKHAjgaKpa
"You're already coming up with that?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAxmgFtFx8FJ
724Please respect copyright.PENANAMHxno9T5dC
I scratched the back of my head even more as I started to pace up and down in front of the door. "Well, ya. You see, Yong-guk - the leader of BAP - kind of got inspired to make us the instrumental because of the way I played it with the guitar. So we were wondering if it's okay with you that we use it for the song."724Please respect copyright.PENANAQxUVZ0RosX
724Please respect copyright.PENANAhU3Yg2wNTf
There was silence on the other end. I wonder what Collins must be thinking. He's a little unpredictable sometimes and he might not agree with it.724Please respect copyright.PENANADAdU1WAEOA
724Please respect copyright.PENANAwyYJquw6NQ
"Well," he started to say, "we would've to listen to it to see if it's actually good. The big problem is whether he should be working on it in the first place."724Please respect copyright.PENANABC3FZDOnOZ
724Please respect copyright.PENANAwLhi5Jmfxv
I knew it. I had to say something quick to convince him.724Please respect copyright.PENANAL0ge4aC4Ri
724Please respect copyright.PENANA1quJga7oVp
"I know, but he's really good. And besides, Mike and I are helping out too. You can be rest assured that it will be great."724Please respect copyright.PENANAlv165DPJHq
724Please respect copyright.PENANAT5WlcArALX
"I believe you. But you know I'm not the only manager in this project of ours."724Please respect copyright.PENANAeP58bZbj2a
724Please respect copyright.PENANA1cuvsqgrBl
"If you could talk to Yang Hyun-suk for me, I bet he would agree. Yong-guk is a great producer and he's reputation proves that otherwise."724Please respect copyright.PENANAVeOtmzM5Kf
724Please respect copyright.PENANAAZtr48qOr8
"I don't have to talk to Yang Hyun-suk. He's right here with me. I put you on loud speaker."724Please respect copyright.PENANAtzrqoJatuY
724Please respect copyright.PENANAyc2fNTTqdC
I swallowed as I stopped pacing and my heart did one huge beat that I felt my chest hurt.724Please respect copyright.PENANAEAN2qOmtte
724Please respect copyright.PENANAxDTJ7PgFJz
"Oh..., good afternoon, Yang Hyun-suk sarangnim," I said quickly, so as not to seem surprised.724Please respect copyright.PENANAcNNy69BAUa
724Please respect copyright.PENANAz4VpB588DL
"Afternoon," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice. I could feel beads of sweet starting to form on my forehead. "I heard everything you had to say."724Please respect copyright.PENANAY65Wxm3ztR
724Please respect copyright.PENANAjvEE1O7vsN
"And what do you think?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAIFqI1dWotq
724Please respect copyright.PENANABcbT6PsFUm
"Well..., as much as the idea sounds tempting, I would actually refuse."724Please respect copyright.PENANABSZXWFYCfw
724Please respect copyright.PENANAeFpCdr40ew
My heart sank. I told myself it was worth a try anyway.724Please respect copyright.PENANAa3NSoVnkCU
724Please respect copyright.PENANAaO6LUnGACO
"But," he continued, "we're talking about Bang Yong-guk, and he's reputation, like you've said, precedes him. If he does want to help out and you think he's the right producer for the job, then I've no objection to it. You can proceed with making the instrumental."724Please respect copyright.PENANALcIcBKPEvw
724Please respect copyright.PENANAvYmokWCOn9
"Really!" I cried out in excitement. I can't believe he actually agreed.724Please respect copyright.PENANA9qbkuC6Eby
724Please respect copyright.PENANAXtEHTYVQTd
"Let's not forget that we're the ones that have the final say. If it's good, then we will proceed."724Please respect copyright.PENANAUSkuDTn2tu
724Please respect copyright.PENANAxt2GkJMOx1
"Thank you!" I said with so much excitement. I could hear the two managers chuckle to themselves. "I promise you won't be disappointed."724Please respect copyright.PENANAIijlPRCTuO
724Please respect copyright.PENANAgurNE3HD2J
"Make us proud, Sam," said Collins. "I hope you'll be able to come up with lyrics."724Please respect copyright.PENANAVoIVNSNaaY
724Please respect copyright.PENANAKE2WOgDZOn
"I will. Thank you once again."724Please respect copyright.PENANAwYJx0fxowV
724Please respect copyright.PENANA666uFkBxUt
The two managers wished me luck. As soon as the line cut, I punched the air with excitement. We're really doing this. I can't wait to tell the others.724Please respect copyright.PENANAOo8e2MEac5
724Please respect copyright.PENANAXRzbvY95Jx
I turned around and opened the door to the studio. As soon as I went in, I quickly rushed over to the others on the console.724Please respect copyright.PENANADVvsX4dvoO
724Please respect copyright.PENANAmrbvodVoT3
"What's the news?" Mike asked as he looked at me.724Please respect copyright.PENANAcbPqo2y0dx
724Please respect copyright.PENANAlz5V2wWd78
"I hope it's good," said Himchan.724Please respect copyright.PENANAXIZMJvKUm7
724Please respect copyright.PENANA3zL1QFscYD
"What news?" asked Daniel who was still seated on the couch. His eyes left the phone as he looked at us who were by the console.724Please respect copyright.PENANA0KUKHUoSxm
724Please respect copyright.PENANASqER7hXzlO
"They agreed," I answered.724Please respect copyright.PENANAJEcdhuvKYM
724Please respect copyright.PENANAcZYV2PaSrq
Himchan and Mike clapped, looking relieved. Yong-guk leaned back in his seat, looking cool and composed, but I could tell that he was just as happy as the three of us.724Please respect copyright.PENANAQBqpdeHtbn
724Please respect copyright.PENANANgPB90ikKJ
"Who agreed to what?" Daniel asked as he stood up from his couch to come over and join us. "I want to know what's going on."724Please respect copyright.PENANAhEvig1okjd
724Please respect copyright.PENANAnOam4zHEID
"Ya, I'm also anxious to know what you're all talking about," said Daehyun.724Please respect copyright.PENANAIOvQEFQLbH
724Please respect copyright.PENANAAtvXWMf7pU
"Me too," said Zoey. "What did I miss?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAJjqTKPgFfK
724Please respect copyright.PENANA2degLECSvb
"A lot," I answered.724Please respect copyright.PENANAxc51yPOiBe
724Please respect copyright.PENANAz5KpZKYE56
I told them what was going on and how I somehow managed to talk to the managers to go through with Yong-guk's instrumental.724Please respect copyright.PENANAiSRWQ2Qhqh
724Please respect copyright.PENANABqh7NY5cku
"Wow, that's awesome," said Zelo.724Please respect copyright.PENANAGuv0DkXimH
724Please respect copyright.PENANAQT8Gnv3zKu
"You see how the managers just love you, Sam?" Mike asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANA2c1atIORJ4
724Please respect copyright.PENANAd6jmX6oJbV
"No, they don't," I emphasised. "If they don't like the instrumental, we aren't going to use it. So it has to be perfect."724Please respect copyright.PENANAcDz7HfdVQc
724Please respect copyright.PENANA1LBWxK69kM
"But for them to agree its because they know Yong-guk is an awesome producer," said Himchan. "No doubt it will be lit."724Please respect copyright.PENANAHYmBgFjtkl
724Please respect copyright.PENANAQYLrroYhW5
"I agree with Himchan," said Zoey. "And besides, it's more of Sam's original, so they can't say no."724Please respect copyright.PENANAgAYjHesTUx
724Please respect copyright.PENANAMjFsnVEDVs
"Okay, we just need to focus on the instrumental and hopefully come up with the lyrics," I said.724Please respect copyright.PENANAA9GOp9vDfq
724Please respect copyright.PENANAcVJIAjeNwW
"Well, you better work on those fast," said Yong-nam, who was now wide awake, but still laying on the floor. "You don't have much time."724Please respect copyright.PENANA2rwBFvWU7d
724Please respect copyright.PENANAIGPNEipXoD
"Okay," I said as I rubbed my hands together. "Toxins, get over here by the console, please."724Please respect copyright.PENANALlaH7z8wCr
724Please respect copyright.PENANARm68P16Xjl
"Okay," said Christine and Zoey as they both stood up from the couch and quickly came over.724Please respect copyright.PENANAIThxrorv3o
724Please respect copyright.PENANACJZEkG3JXM
"We will be here to help in anyway we can," said Young-jae.724Please respect copyright.PENANA15yjSBH8hK
724Please respect copyright.PENANAjc3T9tNfz8
"Thanks, guys," I said with a smile. I went over to sit back on my chair next to Yong-guk.724Please respect copyright.PENANA9p74YuvbyL
724Please respect copyright.PENANA7E0g51DFIH
"Okay," said Yong-guk. "Let's continue where we ended, shall we?"
