"Okay, so here are the lyrics for the song," I said after writing them down.621Please respect copyright.PENANAmqQhyFQxSa
621Please respect copyright.PENANA07tFxp9jtD
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAPlWtrV3YWO
621Please respect copyright.PENANAFMjHR6WTNk
"Just admit it," said Zoey, "the song is awesome."621Please respect copyright.PENANATwsmmVmAX4
621Please respect copyright.PENANAjL03rOOnJN
"Zoey." Christine gave her a look that told her to keep quiet. "Let the others take it in first."621Please respect copyright.PENANAwr4ozSR3NV
621Please respect copyright.PENANAoxAI6hNLUz
"Zoey's right," said Daehyun. "The lyrics are great."621Please respect copyright.PENANAxP3fin1K6f
621Please respect copyright.PENANA9UIclseH7g
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAw9h4dlsDDd
621Please respect copyright.PENANAzqYjKQ7IAr
"You should listen to the tune," said Mike. "You'll love it."621Please respect copyright.PENANARFYtwkVH0V
621Please respect copyright.PENANAyyIINa8w5P
"I bet that's why you went searching for the guitar," said Jongup as he looked at me.621Please respect copyright.PENANARQBeELftjI
621Please respect copyright.PENANANxAqvpql9q
"Play the guitar, Sam," Himchan insisted. "We're all dying to hear it. I bet Yong-guk can't wait any longer."621Please respect copyright.PENANAi0BXo0uYiU
621Please respect copyright.PENANAaZRU3LuLm0
"Huh?" Yong-guk looked at Himchan beside him, looking confused. "No, I'm not."621Please respect copyright.PENANAJpHSE8piVA
621Please respect copyright.PENANANaZoxid9cf
"Of course you are," said Yong-nam as he gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "Don't forget, I'm your twin."621Please respect copyright.PENANAftiZ9Os4VG
621Please respect copyright.PENANApMRdytXx3N
"Okay," I said as I took the guitar that had been laying on the table the whole time. "Let me play it, then."621Please respect copyright.PENANAFk8jcM7XQs
621Please respect copyright.PENANAQz6DpaH2V7
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANA0jrwb4vSuo
621Please respect copyright.PENANACscVh2Vxxf
"Wow," said Young-jae, looking at me like he's just seen something's dazzled him. "The song's going to sound awesome."621Please respect copyright.PENANAk3gWKWdSsW
621Please respect copyright.PENANAplMc697XzS
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAMgGbH7NK42
621Please respect copyright.PENANAmbHjfFQLEO
"Alright," said Yong-guk, looking to see what I was writing on the paper. "Whatever it is, I bet we can handle it."621Please respect copyright.PENANADO1cgz5STV
621Please respect copyright.PENANAg2XfMC5IdD
"Can't wait to see you try," said Christine. "But then again, if it's you two l'm not worried."621Please respect copyright.PENANApdYE88vWsr
621Please respect copyright.PENANAn5tvJd2ixb
"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.621Please respect copyright.PENANA0M58MmL9Ts
621Please respect copyright.PENANAmu5YPI1Tp9
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAQtTqlcgKT6
621Please respect copyright.PENANAkV4AekSght
"Come on, Jongup," Zelo complained. "You're distracting Sam. We all want to hear what she has written."621Please respect copyright.PENANAyDbn9LgL5g
621Please respect copyright.PENANASlpMNKdGE2
"I don't think that I'm distracting her," said Jongup as he looked at Zelo. "Right, Sam?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAhtYR9KMN3f
621Please respect copyright.PENANAtRRXmCZjG9
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANALrS0ZCkvUn
621Please respect copyright.PENANAVk5j7CGGc5
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANArk5AHRbUl1
621Please respect copyright.PENANAGl25F65GxH
"What's wrong, Sam?" he asked.621Please respect copyright.PENANAtiJV1ZRL7e
621Please respect copyright.PENANAuzvnxCjwAX
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAhDO7e2dtxp
621Please respect copyright.PENANAUNmzeC3yg9
"Goodness, Jongup," said Mike, "you almost kissed my sister."621Please respect copyright.PENANAv8xznjTT8F
621Please respect copyright.PENANAbRpTBS0ir9
And it just had to be Mike. Goodness, me!621Please respect copyright.PENANA85BQNc9sWA
621Please respect copyright.PENANABqQNDuHGRG
"Huh?" Jongup looked surprised. "I did?"621Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y2FyL3t3v
621Please respect copyright.PENANANdsaruMmpX
"And you were this close," said Zoey indicating a tiny space with her index finger and thumb.621Please respect copyright.PENANArAhh2cwdgl
621Please respect copyright.PENANAyntYecKn7X
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAZNWcmJH3ET
621Please respect copyright.PENANA2c6nZXZ1Kl
"You see, I told you so," said Zelo.621Please respect copyright.PENANA1zGeGMnNT2
621Please respect copyright.PENANA0qqWRnn4IS
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANACWEghVkfV3
621Please respect copyright.PENANAgtDA4WpM1O
Yong-nam cleared his throat. "Not at all," he answered. "You're actually pretty light."621Please respect copyright.PENANAt17pMQ1o89
621Please respect copyright.PENANAKW9KRj1XZA
I nervously laughed, not sure whether he meant it or not.621Please respect copyright.PENANAJQLcaM4Ppb
621Please respect copyright.PENANAxGJAOvJbxq
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAv7TxugYBRf
621Please respect copyright.PENANAqovJ1GKTJ3
"You're such a fantasist, Zoey," said Daniel as he shook his head.621Please respect copyright.PENANAl01AypU0nt
621Please respect copyright.PENANAI2CdJ3vYjy
"Don't mind her," I said. "Can we forget the kissing incident and focus on the song, please?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAz9QuQo2W0e
621Please respect copyright.PENANAOdw0fVPJuc
"Sure," said Mike. "That's if we can reset Zoey's brain or else she won't stop talking about it."621Please respect copyright.PENANAJk2NB39HQO
621Please respect copyright.PENANAoIWmGPTWGd
"Are you saying that I'm kookoo?" Zoey asked, looking at Mike.621Please respect copyright.PENANAtlSXZp8rJG
621Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7NDWmZFS0
"You can argue later, you two," I said, giving them a look. "Let's try and focus."621Please respect copyright.PENANA5ntQ4olhVp
621Please respect copyright.PENANAd1wE2xOmlp
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANANYoxrUL1BT
621Please respect copyright.PENANAUziaxVqA2B
"Is it just me or something's just off?" Young-jae asked.621Please respect copyright.PENANAYWk2jYDB0u
621Please respect copyright.PENANA0uA6U2pIw9
"I think I feel what you mean," said Zoey as she scratched her head.621Please respect copyright.PENANA3xqVLAZAn5
621Please respect copyright.PENANAglR4hqJLOC
"Huh? What's Zoey saying?" Himchan asked.621Please respect copyright.PENANAFuZ8aYOUp1
621Please respect copyright.PENANA9CQi6qPX1b
"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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAUHNIy6azkw
621Please respect copyright.PENANAlU0bnHNX0Y
"I feel we aren't working like we did the first time," said Christine.621Please respect copyright.PENANAyt3ckUwh6t
621Please respect copyright.PENANAUwbFgar84v
"Ya, that's what I meant," said Zoey.621Please respect copyright.PENANAXrMijKgQCb
621Please respect copyright.PENANArlay3TUa4S
"We just aren't coming up with the right lyrics," said Yong-guk, "that's all."621Please respect copyright.PENANANUtEWdayhm
621Please respect copyright.PENANAwCJU0uYE1b
"Why is that?" Himchan asked.621Please respect copyright.PENANAhd3BXhrHP5
621Please respect copyright.PENANAU72Bmd0QhX
"Who knows," said Daniel. "What do you think, Sam?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAPncoEfGufN
621Please respect copyright.PENANAKpPp9gPggj
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAOS2NU1UwuR
621Please respect copyright.PENANAdoWSIKnXYj
"You look like you're about to cry, Sam," said Jongup.621Please respect copyright.PENANAHja9elsseH
621Please respect copyright.PENANAbq6zGnt0FN
"Don't mind me," I said. "I'm frustrated that we're going nowhere."621Please respect copyright.PENANA5D6Naq3Aa3
621Please respect copyright.PENANAXN8KAsFikf
"Maybe we're all just tired," said Zelo.621Please respect copyright.PENANADdcAs5v55p
621Please respect copyright.PENANA65DNxerag2
"I felt we rested enough," said Daehyun.621Please respect copyright.PENANAveZ1kZm7b0
621Please respect copyright.PENANA5VIkv9D93N
"Or maybe we've been in the same place for too long," I suggested. "Sometimes the environment contributes greatly."621Please respect copyright.PENANA1HvqrPHDk3
621Please respect copyright.PENANAIDkiqkC23P
"Maybe," said Yong-guk.621Please respect copyright.PENANADSt3HT1vZw
621Please respect copyright.PENANAfQVagTkHjU
"What do you think, Yong-nam?" Christine asked as she turned to look at him.621Please respect copyright.PENANAtzz1aGPSe0
621Please respect copyright.PENANAzfLJsMNSj6
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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAMxQ3qjIPvD
621Please respect copyright.PENANAugkPPU9evk
"Tomorrow?" Daniel looked shocked at the idea. "Won't that be a little too late for us?"621Please respect copyright.PENANACh7RY8JYLh
621Please respect copyright.PENANAKlrFMQTLma
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAcfbre7hbJC
621Please respect copyright.PENANATyd71YmKKx
"Not forgetting that we should at least have something to present to Yang Hyun-suk," said Zoey.621Please respect copyright.PENANA3XupHlaETJ
621Please respect copyright.PENANAitJI5zBcZL
"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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAJEAsUziZyX
621Please respect copyright.PENANAoSUhQ2sRg8
"Now I wish we never had to make an album," said Zoey as she leaned back on the chair and sighed.621Please respect copyright.PENANABL887BR2k5
621Please respect copyright.PENANAllpdtjO4W5
"Wow, you guys are working on an album?" Jongup asked.621Please respect copyright.PENANAB2NtMK0L6m
621Please respect copyright.PENANAQH3EKtvU1V
"Yep," I answered as I lifted my face up from my hands. "Our managers are ambitious."621Please respect copyright.PENANA9YC7AYQJ1m
621Please respect copyright.PENANAZqAvKPi702
"At least we don't have to worry about the other songs," said Zoey.621Please respect copyright.PENANAKpJMj58wzh
621Please respect copyright.PENANA9hN2Wx5Zw1
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANA6KSU19kk6u
621Please respect copyright.PENANAJF9HDcnm3O
"I think we should take a little break," said Yong-nam.621Please respect copyright.PENANA3Y1GMRDJCk
621Please respect copyright.PENANAUzkJK3wPHX
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?621Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9ZBlKHtmP
621Please respect copyright.PENANAQHtKIPIaB1
"You're scaring me, Sam," I heard Yong-guk say.621Please respect copyright.PENANATJdLGOCKuF
621Please respect copyright.PENANA2CHkrpuxGu
"Oh, don't mind her," said Zoey. "She started this and finding a way to finish it is frustrating."621Please respect copyright.PENANAghg1kVSpaJ
621Please respect copyright.PENANAMs81bwvVFg
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAVNqCxI45yr
621Please respect copyright.PENANAVftAvLGRYb
"Wait..., does this mean we won't have the reward Lee was talking about?" I heard Daniel ask.621Please respect copyright.PENANAVekIOmLMgh
621Please respect copyright.PENANABxmUkRSdkF
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAIi1uVbreC8
621Please respect copyright.PENANAFofgJ1dfNO
"Don't worry about that, Daniel," I said. "Lee will give us that reward."621Please respect copyright.PENANA4DlCkQAGgp
621Please respect copyright.PENANACvuUmibDIV
"For someone who seems tired, you sound pretty confident," said Himchan.621Please respect copyright.PENANATRI4BaF6rW
621Please respect copyright.PENANAcM1E34a2kb
"I just know." I smiled at him as I shrugged my shoulders.621Please respect copyright.PENANAUdnZSWIr8q
621Please respect copyright.PENANAnRIJ1zLWgK
"Do you've any idea what it could be?" Daniel asked.621Please respect copyright.PENANAMQFaCHS3od
621Please respect copyright.PENANARhHZrHxGKB
I shook my head. It's best it turns out as a surprise.621Please respect copyright.PENANAsXDhckdtwz
621Please respect copyright.PENANAw5Nf1VuniD
"So, what are we going to do now?" Zelo asked. "Just sit and do nothing?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAzE9axClVV1
621Please respect copyright.PENANAnR09QYq6A3
"We can do something fun to pass the time," Christine suggested.621Please respect copyright.PENANA7x4Vhxqfx6
621Please respect copyright.PENANAIbuPOtQBjP
"Not me," I went back to lying down on the floor.621Please respect copyright.PENANAE9Ivb0wJ0P
621Please respect copyright.PENANACWeX39LnQU
No one said a word. I could feel a few eyes on me, while others, I'm guessing, gave each other looks.621Please respect copyright.PENANAXPNBPVArEB
621Please respect copyright.PENANAfFt4pmSpyu
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "You're such a party pooper."621Please respect copyright.PENANAqvjeoPDR7d
621Please respect copyright.PENANAUSupTuL3ar
"Haven't heard you call me that in a while," I said as I smiled at the ceiling.621Please respect copyright.PENANAENT2nCFLH3
621Please respect copyright.PENANATI9tVTVVX0
"Get up, will you? This is no time to be lying down."621Please respect copyright.PENANAiBV8aJy0vG
621Please respect copyright.PENANA3qfmrkeHp0
"There's nothing wrong with lying down to rest, is there?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAP0BIg4oXEV
621Please respect copyright.PENANAsb3TeH4wPI
"Goodness, me." Zoey sounded frustrated. She couldn't argue over that and she knew it.621Please respect copyright.PENANAmjzC4ZNA8L
621Please respect copyright.PENANArPR34KT8Ay
"Maybe we should call Lee to pick us up," Mike suggested.621Please respect copyright.PENANA8pRat2OYne
621Please respect copyright.PENANAEyJmWqmRTa
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANA5MJCx120Sv
621Please respect copyright.PENANAwOlgUUtWvq
I heard Zelo and Daehyun chuckle while I heard Christine and Zoey mutter out in frustration.621Please respect copyright.PENANAeZORJkDpy3
621Please respect copyright.PENANA6ndcuoMSTW
"Looks like you're stuck here with us until Lee comes to pick you up," I heard Yong-guk say.621Please respect copyright.PENANAM2wJQssWLy
621Please respect copyright.PENANAnW8PMAt3ws
"But we can't sit here doing nothing," said Daniel. "Like Christine said, we better find something to do."621Please respect copyright.PENANAwtW6Mm3sC5
621Please respect copyright.PENANA2lIHfwEeDB
"You should be resting," I suggested, my eyes still closed.621Please respect copyright.PENANAUR3QmgOXGj
621Please respect copyright.PENANAiuRSkU4gsm
"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.621Please respect copyright.PENANARIRPjjAiPr
621Please respect copyright.PENANADb4Xirc6it
I smiled. "Suit yourself."621Please respect copyright.PENANAEg4JHSIsRi
621Please respect copyright.PENANA0GjGUWq8d5
"No one wants to do karaoke in the recording booth?" Jongup suggested.621Please respect copyright.PENANAshTlHGNd0S
621Please respect copyright.PENANAYB8UhZouqG
"I think we've done enough singing for one day," said Daehyun.621Please respect copyright.PENANA6FvTEbdf7E
621Please respect copyright.PENANAes4C3hNdky
"I agree," said Zoey.621Please respect copyright.PENANABboHKkCtrk
621Please respect copyright.PENANAb0k8wMOdkh
"If there's clearly nothing to do, then I think we should be resting like Sam's doing right now," said Yong-guk.621Please respect copyright.PENANAYh3lfXvras
621Please respect copyright.PENANAPLR1nLvIjr
"I like your thinking," I said with my eyes closed. I raised my hand to give him a thumbs up.621Please respect copyright.PENANAJotk3vIGgZ
621Please respect copyright.PENANAppGah6o9qJ
"You songwriters all think the same," I heard Christine mutter.621Please respect copyright.PENANAQpYtrP85wa
621Please respect copyright.PENANAFbVxiNU7x2
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAJN7rGWM7HA
621Please respect copyright.PENANAOnoJz0z3Sc
"Huh? Not you too, Mike," said Zoey, sounding surprised.621Please respect copyright.PENANACLtYJqyUcf
621Please respect copyright.PENANAaHFUBH3UIp
"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?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAldsJtZiDQ9
621Please respect copyright.PENANAWf2UgXK2vg
"I shouldn't be surprised coming from you."621Please respect copyright.PENANAKXiLCH5TDd
621Please respect copyright.PENANADGcuCs7nAl
"Ya, ya, ya, Zoey. I'm the bad guy here. Doesn't matter now, does it?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAW0n3xUNQ8U
621Please respect copyright.PENANABiKTuxifzk
"Well, if there's nothing for you guys to do at the moment, then I'm going to work on something," said Yong-guk.621Please respect copyright.PENANAwqkqv8jJU0
621Please respect copyright.PENANAec4wKklJDg
"And what could that be?" Young-jae asked.621Please respect copyright.PENANA0yMIIlQH5S
621Please respect copyright.PENANAftSL1KGAa8
"Our song, of course."621Please respect copyright.PENANALP6fz8aFDw
621Please respect copyright.PENANAFJll431rne
"You go ahead and do that," I said.621Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z8b3fjSJ2
621Please respect copyright.PENANAluT5geEUY0
There came an awkward pause and I opened one eye to look at him.621Please respect copyright.PENANA4kzVxhhzO2
621Please respect copyright.PENANAUM0GxljCU1
"You look surprised, Yong-guk," said Yong-nam. He took the words right out of my mouth.621Please respect copyright.PENANANN4hVu98pl
621Please respect copyright.PENANAkgRaDXgWFN
"I thought that would get Sam up from the floor since she seems to really like helping out," said Yong-guk.621Please respect copyright.PENANAWXzNXgG61J
621Please respect copyright.PENANAgPRlVbU1RE
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANARG6ncwQK6K
621Please respect copyright.PENANA42atIfyR7d
"Okay, then," said Yong-guk. "And you, Mike?"621Please respect copyright.PENANA5Gb4m3PDjM
621Please respect copyright.PENANAnVFFAzMWFe
"I'll pass too," said Mike.621Please respect copyright.PENANARNrewhvnAc
621Please respect copyright.PENANAPp2yx2SrLx
"Okay. I'll be by the console. Any of you guys want to join me?"621Please respect copyright.PENANACh2kZBfJLF
621Please respect copyright.PENANARmYqTgoKau
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANACcUMm8jMMo
621Please respect copyright.PENANA7gnU3M51m2
"I'm going to relax over here too," said Young-jae.621Please respect copyright.PENANAd9cskgNID1
621Please respect copyright.PENANAjI0f8pE3Ow
"What's up with everyone?" Yong-guk asked, sounding surprised.621Please respect copyright.PENANANOMfJxSiTT
621Please respect copyright.PENANAoZek2EWTqK
"Like Yong-nam said, we're tired," I said as I sat up. "The best thing to do right now is relax."621Please respect copyright.PENANASCRY9oOuaO
621Please respect copyright.PENANA4CKot3YVM9
"Aren't you worried about not making progress on your song?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAjnVzkveeBu
621Please respect copyright.PENANAFuNWDfoXH8
"I was about to ask the same question," said Zoey with a sulky look on her face. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAv5V7AVg472
621Please respect copyright.PENANAT4bleM7UWP
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."621Please respect copyright.PENANApafYLzVb72
621Please respect copyright.PENANAMIH9V0vDMR
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANA2AalKZLEZB
621Please respect copyright.PENANA4VHpu0WsVm
"You of all people shouldn't even be sleeping," said Yong-guk.621Please respect copyright.PENANAcoJaFxhebN
621Please respect copyright.PENANAuizzI8L69W
I laughed. As much as I wanted to hear these two brothers argue, it ended there. I went back to sleeping on the floor.621Please respect copyright.PENANAwCRjJCtIDJ
621Please respect copyright.PENANAKuJ5SNoF2U
"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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAklP8UL1bbj
621Please respect copyright.PENANAw70gpUFuPm
"Looks like the majority wins," said Himchan as he chuckled.621Please respect copyright.PENANASZjCePKvyC
621Please respect copyright.PENANA4WVqSSFamG
Zoey mourned in frustration. Even I could tell she's tired. She had no choice but to give in.621Please respect copyright.PENANAjkVlFFxy7a
621Please respect copyright.PENANAWTwHzpNrA5
"Oh, man!" Daniel muttered out loud.621Please respect copyright.PENANAYfMxXH7qOr
621Please respect copyright.PENANA4nIo7tHfu0
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANACIUXWuSWBI
621Please respect copyright.PENANA5RdOB19V0V
"Sorry, guys," he said. He quickly looked up from his phone when he noticed people's eyes on him. "Playing a game over here."621Please respect copyright.PENANAFrO8ObJ7d8
621Please respect copyright.PENANARhxVtauyUq
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAhrez6Ua0CZ
621Please respect copyright.PENANA7dekRXbpGg
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."621Please respect copyright.PENANABBlLgLpZFt
621Please respect copyright.PENANAsnqPYYyxvc
"I think I'll have a little shut-eye," said Christine.621Please respect copyright.PENANAunFySbDEWB
621Please respect copyright.PENANA0i26QEzDdt
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAUjGNG0JxMf
621Please respect copyright.PENANAas5HoHChYB
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAQly6IzxMcI
621Please respect copyright.PENANAjnFm9yqsIl
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANABm0CjgimkL
621Please respect copyright.PENANAYU3R67j2rw
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAtcviFfkYYZ
621Please respect copyright.PENANAgIjrc9OV87
"Hey, Sam?" I heard Jongup call me. "Are you asleep?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAkO9gcmsxuq
621Please respect copyright.PENANAudIawCN4wu
"No," I answered. I drew my eyes open and looked at him. "What is it?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAgWUBTODrWn
621Please respect copyright.PENANAjy350MMUjn
"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.621Please respect copyright.PENANA9hIpHAcf6E
621Please respect copyright.PENANAsbHXvECDs9
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANA4LFispUyPa
621Please respect copyright.PENANAMbpCACVXKB
"I know," said Jongup. "You should see this previous one. It will knock your socks off."621Please respect copyright.PENANABb9iYlClzY
621Please respect copyright.PENANAVSSoq60JS6
I joined Jongup in watching more cat videos. We soon moved on to watch people participate in various dance challenges.621Please respect copyright.PENANAPFTZ406rnW
621Please respect copyright.PENANAs9yYWlV2Xs
"We should've a dance challenge one day," I said to Jongup as we watched.621Please respect copyright.PENANAmsHWNvXifi
621Please respect copyright.PENANAVFuGH7xdAd
"Huh?" he turned to look at me. "We should've a dance challenge?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAK64nOSKxtD
621Please respect copyright.PENANAW39EJYDB3e
"Ya. I mean The Toxins vs BAP."621Please respect copyright.PENANAFYqg3pKsvu
621Please respect copyright.PENANAeGhA0fENE1
"Oh..., like the one you had with Monsta X?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAEnD8AEDgCK
621Please respect copyright.PENANAc3M52ThfRn
"Yes, like that one. You watched it?"621Please respect copyright.PENANA3SBS6fH4CT
621Please respect copyright.PENANAOgmyRNpNW4
"I think a lot of us did. People really liked it."621Please respect copyright.PENANAnYGM9nstWN
621Please respect copyright.PENANAK2WxYdWODZ
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAkf5bNzYLj8
621Please respect copyright.PENANAtGRvtBDFDS
"Oh, you've an album to work on."621Please respect copyright.PENANAzxcIvL6CKo
621Please respect copyright.PENANARq99g0ZXhQ
I stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Just thinking about it drains me." I went back to looking at his phone.621Please respect copyright.PENANAidnGEdwGoU
621Please respect copyright.PENANA8Z7ejlu5Z5
"Did I hear someone talk about having a dance challenge with BAP?" Zoey asked.621Please respect copyright.PENANA6rNhB1TUoI
621Please respect copyright.PENANAzqsmtIsrTr
I raised my head a little and saw Zoey still on her phone.621Please respect copyright.PENANAiW7e1ofBp0
621Please respect copyright.PENANAeltgdpvDN9
"Yes, I said that," I said as I dropped my head and stared at Jongup's phone.621Please respect copyright.PENANA7trPmoVyOp
621Please respect copyright.PENANA3L0ZxrZob9
"Why not do so now?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAsxlHQuMjsg
621Please respect copyright.PENANAjhBd8knBg4
"No!" Christine, Mike and I said out loud at the same time.621Please respect copyright.PENANAG5IlrpSXd0
621Please respect copyright.PENANAKswlG7nWl0
"Eish, guys. It's why I asked. You don't have to eat me alive."621Please respect copyright.PENANAp0bj6DRqS6
621Please respect copyright.PENANA9QqJsH95VL
Himchan and the other BAP members around the table started to chuckle.621Please respect copyright.PENANAMQWeXOFNXu
621Please respect copyright.PENANAdGbYwDCvbl
"You Toxins really are something," said Himchan. "You do know that the majority of you opposed, right?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAEIGt5tebp1
621Please respect copyright.PENANANaGYh3smoh
"Except Daniel," said Zelo.621Please respect copyright.PENANAyeYwy6DAgJ
621Please respect copyright.PENANAkpsUYGACCE
"Oh, I refuse too," said Daniel, still on his phone.621Please respect copyright.PENANA98sxdqG50h
621Please respect copyright.PENANA6SqFv2z6Hv
Zoey tsked. "You guys are no fun."621Please respect copyright.PENANA198LdeUzYw
621Please respect copyright.PENANApqsCdclucJ
"Use logic, Zoey," said Christine. "We're all tired and don't have the energy for a dance challenge."621Please respect copyright.PENANA4KIZY6FZyD
621Please respect copyright.PENANACl3kRu22el
"I know that. I thought maybe someone's in the mood for it."621Please respect copyright.PENANAk1aWAs43F7
621Please respect copyright.PENANA83EV51uj4U
"No one is in the mood for it," said Mike.621Please respect copyright.PENANAurkNzjJDgu
621Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z3kNJb9fo
"And what if the BAP members were?"621Please respect copyright.PENANACUwpKGzSKv
621Please respect copyright.PENANA6R86ppQHUF
I heard Daehyun nervously chuckle. "To be honest, Zoey," he said, "I'm definitely not in the mood."621Please respect copyright.PENANADKTn4F3zd2
621Please respect copyright.PENANASmAyRdeYBi
"Me too," said Young-jae.621Please respect copyright.PENANA8IsZUr0K1t
621Please respect copyright.PENANANzYzLyQY1O
"Me three," said Zelo.621Please respect copyright.PENANAc9vuJ9x7te
621Please respect copyright.PENANAIgiQWu1qIO
"Guess I don't have to ask you, Himchan," said Zoey, sounding unimpressed.621Please respect copyright.PENANASXJm4KBylT
621Please respect copyright.PENANAtvgHkjedRk
Himchan, just like Daehyun, nervously chuckled too.621Please respect copyright.PENANAW06Ic1MnUc
621Please respect copyright.PENANAdyCYLfo76Q
"You can ask Yong-guk," Zelo suggested.621Please respect copyright.PENANA07ZsHjtGZ6
621Please respect copyright.PENANAvIKEMbdhhO
"Nah. He's already busy and I don't like to be a bother."621Please respect copyright.PENANABPT3AGeHJY
621Please respect copyright.PENANAzL2IZdoKR0
"Really?" Mike asked. Uh-oh. I smell an argument brewing. "You bother a lot of us everyday."621Please respect copyright.PENANASSp8j3UbR1
621Please respect copyright.PENANAxj39CVV7Ty
"What did you say!?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAoGCF7LEULe
621Please respect copyright.PENANAF9NQokzDnU
"Quiet down, Zoey," said Christine. "You're disturbing Yong-nam. He's probably asleep."621Please respect copyright.PENANA1uKhXYLXRi
621Please respect copyright.PENANASTHm4H2i03
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAqeWGE0WFyv
621Please respect copyright.PENANAnZdRou2xM7
"I bet he isn't," said Zoey. "Is he, Sam?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAEuIP8NnWF5
621Please respect copyright.PENANAahlooZloVg
"Huh?" I got a little caught off guard as I didn't answer Zoey's question.621Please respect copyright.PENANAxyucQSDd9m
621Please respect copyright.PENANAFAT0qsn61X
"Is he awake?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAtyOvEWWXfu
621Please respect copyright.PENANANrM3aVJ7cO
"Not sure," I answered. "He would've said something if he was."621Please respect copyright.PENANAN2yL0Uz0qj
621Please respect copyright.PENANAJlS3rdDqNa
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAj9N36sAo6T
621Please respect copyright.PENANAxLf5W0wqDC
"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.621Please respect copyright.PENANALB1DALTW5S
621Please respect copyright.PENANAfeZy5vWe0V
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "It's what you said, Mike. How am I a bother to you?"621Please respect copyright.PENANA0PgnuROovn
621Please respect copyright.PENANAXssAxUiH42
"You're being a bother right now. I'm trying to rest and you're disturbing me."621Please respect copyright.PENANAtO0QsSSvQC
621Please respect copyright.PENANAIkrNKO5hDE
Zoey hissed that I thought a snake had magically appeared in the room. If she was one, no doubt she would attack Mike first.621Please respect copyright.PENANAGwZUfnOQWR
621Please respect copyright.PENANA0N9oMSCCDI
"Enough," said Christine. "No one wants to see or hear you two fight."621Please respect copyright.PENANAzbZwG7oJKr
621Please respect copyright.PENANAHF0o9mLf7G
"Mike started it," said Zoey.621Please respect copyright.PENANArIzSpO9wse
621Please respect copyright.PENANAH3mmcJyvrt
"You amplified it," said Mike. "You always do."621Please respect copyright.PENANAsHLhAjeAqm
621Please respect copyright.PENANANYe24uGY8q
"For once I agree with Mike," I said. "Let it go, Zoey."621Please respect copyright.PENANAueAk25Jr3B
621Please respect copyright.PENANAgW4OxEOLAH
"You guys are unbelievable," said Zoey.621Please respect copyright.PENANArTNMCjY2XL
621Please respect copyright.PENANAeRUEBbOxKv
"You're unbelievable," said Himchan as he chuckled. "You really are a drama queen. No offense."621Please respect copyright.PENANAsaYhWN8HBq
621Please respect copyright.PENANAl4OzbMYgvC
"None taken. These guys call me that all the time."621Please respect copyright.PENANAKo9CAk8KFz
621Please respect copyright.PENANA3n2WkCFIIY
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAFIPYUo42la
621Please respect copyright.PENANA6qraZRv5R8
I stretched out my arms and stood up, stretching my whole body.621Please respect copyright.PENANAKocnrXQ4Qi
621Please respect copyright.PENANAjroVDe38se
"I've had enough of watching Instagram videos," I told Jongup.621Please respect copyright.PENANAHcB6nSE3Da
621Please respect copyright.PENANAHppu21kUsk
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAYAci3yRwTN
621Please respect copyright.PENANAthfc69ariv
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAkm6jCxVP8v
621Please respect copyright.PENANAacM75MfeT3
"Hey, there," I said to him when I got behind him. I bent over to look at him from the side of his face.621Please respect copyright.PENANAHp7geF0bph
621Please respect copyright.PENANAK8sR1Jgh6G
"Oh, Sam," he looked up at me, surprised. "I didn't hear you coming."621Please respect copyright.PENANAe2wuqu6gsg
621Please respect copyright.PENANAkXSGzqCapp
"I've cat feet," I said as I took the empty seat next to him.621Please respect copyright.PENANAGf8fIr7Lrj
621Please respect copyright.PENANA4sOvaTbpS2
"Cat feet?"621Please respect copyright.PENANACfzfmWXD3o
621Please respect copyright.PENANAwafTYV8SBn
"I'm told there are times when people don't hear me coming so they say I've cat feet. I sometimes scare them."621Please respect copyright.PENANAN9wgXuy3aQ
621Please respect copyright.PENANAaddE7dQy9O
"Oh, I see."621Please respect copyright.PENANAoqmMUzTTBZ
621Please respect copyright.PENANAXVs1JoLi5Z
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANA0XbsTcJfXt
621Please respect copyright.PENANAvvKihO36hv
"I'll keep that in mind," said Yong-guk as he turned to smile at her.621Please respect copyright.PENANAvn22oRdZmk
621Please respect copyright.PENANAFk8si4Fz4C
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANA9o2DS9OKtT
621Please respect copyright.PENANAfImBZgnXpq
"I'm not working on our song," said Yong-guk as he went to work on the laptop.621Please respect copyright.PENANAjmyrCkRE88
621Please respect copyright.PENANAt41fBmYpTR
"Then, what are you working on?" I raised my eyebrow at him.621Please respect copyright.PENANAGhM7X1cXN9
621Please respect copyright.PENANAFR1iseAp2i
"On your song," he answered.621Please respect copyright.PENANAy7oAUK7Y0X
621Please respect copyright.PENANAfNsZT7Uc6N
"Huh?"621Please respect copyright.PENANABs8p5CK7Dr
621Please respect copyright.PENANARi6XYAb9H4
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAoQqIXZ9WRY
621Please respect copyright.PENANAmtvKwNs7wd
"Wow." I'm surprised. I didn't think Yong-guk would go this far. I didn't even know what to say.621Please respect copyright.PENANAuEvBQoTnzZ
621Please respect copyright.PENANAK4m03ku8kK
"Hey, are you okay, Sam?" Yong-guk asked.621Please respect copyright.PENANA8eJnHKxEJT
621Please respect copyright.PENANAG6ewW4DUHK
I quickly turned to look at him. "Huh?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAnyWZg65FRo
621Please respect copyright.PENANAkixAa9k17c
"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?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAg9Jp49SoYf
621Please respect copyright.PENANAOdM8wqy0cf
I smiled at him. He really means it. There aren't many people in the world who are so thoughtful.621Please respect copyright.PENANAiXZxlOnTdD
621Please respect copyright.PENANAxu7pWoy8vE
"I know what you mean. And no. I think there's no better person to work on it than you, Yong-guk."621Please respect copyright.PENANAAo9y1Iq379
621Please respect copyright.PENANA4Bccpd9ulf
"Really?" He looked a little surprised with what I said.621Please respect copyright.PENANA3KsuEzcNH3
621Please respect copyright.PENANAwYAjPCWRtf
"Of course! Who would've thought we would've you helping us? It's actually really nice of you."621Please respect copyright.PENANATdXJl9KWtx
621Please respect copyright.PENANAa5U2QpIVRs
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANA3yuKSvlrLq
621Please respect copyright.PENANAUiUhva6VSn
"May I hear what you've done so far?" I asked.621Please respect copyright.PENANAvApdrTR0tB
621Please respect copyright.PENANAtCuUGjD8mT
"Ah..., sure," he said as he brought over the laptop closer.621Please respect copyright.PENANA2kNrUAjmsY
621Please respect copyright.PENANAKFovGZDDYv
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAek8h9Yashq
621Please respect copyright.PENANAoG9MqqDe6k
"Amazing," I looked at him with so much awe. "It's no wonder you're such a great producer."621Please respect copyright.PENANAHqM2PAoktZ
621Please respect copyright.PENANAFN9FezWMNc
He chuckled. "Coming from you, that means a lot."621Please respect copyright.PENANA8nmuGB1Cvu
621Please respect copyright.PENANASdoMBM1ZSc
"The others should hear this." My ear twitched. "I know you're there, Mike."621Please respect copyright.PENANAX01y8SA6Jo
621Please respect copyright.PENANAC0cJXIgYvQ
"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?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAvF9Vla1RGh
621Please respect copyright.PENANA6lt1N61I1E
"Because what you've ain't cat feet," I smirked at him. "You've to work a lot harder than that."621Please respect copyright.PENANAS6WERs4Htq
621Please respect copyright.PENANAoDILlUBJ6u
"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?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAViBOExYFqn
621Please respect copyright.PENANAGP12TRbpyi
"This," I said as I pressed the play button on the laptop, playing out the instrumental for him.621Please respect copyright.PENANADK2u0y2rsB
621Please respect copyright.PENANAEVBJdv0qR6
"Wow," muttered Mike. "But wait..., why does this beat sound familiar?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAEtTFxXdR7E
621Please respect copyright.PENANA2wzGrE5VTr
"It's because it's the beat to our song, silly," I said to him.621Please respect copyright.PENANANcrbIxTFxl
621Please respect copyright.PENANAx5d9OksfzL
"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?"621Please respect copyright.PENANA0GLAKNtnrx
621Please respect copyright.PENANAM1TgYfBvJu
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAB58RUWp4av
621Please respect copyright.PENANASmAg0Bj7sQ
"You're amazing," he said as he patted Yong-guk on the shoulder. "This song will be awesome."621Please respect copyright.PENANAS5lHtFSM4m
621Please respect copyright.PENANANtPeja7dbW
"Thanks," he said. "You should be thanking your sister, though."621Please respect copyright.PENANANWfKMcMT0h
621Please respect copyright.PENANAwlqYYC5mrO
"Huh?" Mike and I looked pluzzled.621Please respect copyright.PENANAl99k2Nq8Em
621Please respect copyright.PENANAuUZrwDACmQ
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAdU0oO19lYf
621Please respect copyright.PENANAn09X95yPsJ
"Oh...," I forgot he said that. Now it's my turn to blush, and Yong-guk smiled.621Please respect copyright.PENANAoCIBb6sJJo
621Please respect copyright.PENANAtQkGDUEyTj
"Ya, my sister is a genius," said Mike. "May I join you?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAuxmNodtokN
621Please respect copyright.PENANA6BxPQ4Ymmm
"Sure," said Yong-guk. "With you two here, I bet we can work on it together."621Please respect copyright.PENANABgPjF3vjHZ
621Please respect copyright.PENANACUW0crkkHS
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAKU7Be3fns5
621Please respect copyright.PENANAqt230128Ip
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANARq0sfSdZBe
621Please respect copyright.PENANA0CDKYrGGTi
"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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAwxgEhpHZo3
621Please respect copyright.PENANAWnn8O72DBb
"Alright, let's start," said Yong-guk.621Please respect copyright.PENANAJphrMrTZ8X
621Please respect copyright.PENANA8XqJsS5I2A
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAoL4Nxk9i71
621Please respect copyright.PENANAFLdduNYBVS
"Hey, what's going on here?" Himchan asked as he came to join us.621Please respect copyright.PENANAykVaPIwmBn
621Please respect copyright.PENANA3yiQUtBk7f
"We're working on an instrumental," Mike answered.621Please respect copyright.PENANABH627M2BYb
621Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6lHwtg4nD
"Which one?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAYudi6WFW6Z
621Please respect copyright.PENANA13A4ymrMBD
"For our song," I answered. "You should hear it, it's really good."621Please respect copyright.PENANAJqjMGMr9NO
621Please respect copyright.PENANAEwNHojUfZ1
"Oh, I thought you had run out of ideas for the lyrics."621Please respect copyright.PENANAqoejQcM4dm
621Please respect copyright.PENANASezB3Abp6X
"Well, I did. Maybe if I continue working on the instrumental, I might come up with them."621Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z72GwCKBk
621Please respect copyright.PENANAzDo46Tvn9G
"How far have you gone doing so?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAgptvF4NQYC
621Please respect copyright.PENANAzjnWpqAfKt
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAv8GRTNHp31
621Please respect copyright.PENANAUpmC8wEj8J
"I agree," said Mike.621Please respect copyright.PENANAEmBRZP1et8
621Please respect copyright.PENANAAZ7IL1aQS8
"And you're going to use this instrumental for your album?" Himchan asked.621Please respect copyright.PENANAIKDbCp5uBY
621Please respect copyright.PENANA1TyXR8aKrM
"Of course we're," I answered, looking back at him. I now understood why he asked and I winced.621Please respect copyright.PENANAKdd9OtUw7R
621Please respect copyright.PENANApTZwQ7xfsR
"What is it, Sam?" Mike asked.621Please respect copyright.PENANAqcQSHu9NlN
621Please respect copyright.PENANADqDymtld3I
"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?"621Please respect copyright.PENANA1nN6Quv6sv
621Please respect copyright.PENANArohJsKArDr
"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?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAkOLCIbOnJp
621Please respect copyright.PENANAl4vGWWt5oH
"Collins may agree. But what about Yang Hyun-suk?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAKGe5bJfhAa
621Please respect copyright.PENANAsUnAo4vBLO
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAi7BsPKZRwy
621Please respect copyright.PENANAuh9RUVP6zg
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAItLOnzZvm9
621Please respect copyright.PENANAFsGmEXRTuD
"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?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAiSVOVMGT2U
621Please respect copyright.PENANA5Fe1hgfkwG
"This is your tune and melody, Sam. So, he can't refuse. I mean, the song we did with BigBang was all you too."621Please respect copyright.PENANAnKYPXX0vdd
621Please respect copyright.PENANABfO3Fwsk6r
"It was?" Yong-guk and Himchan asked at the same time.621Please respect copyright.PENANAVJkGOYeU4h
621Please respect copyright.PENANAGZq9QQyYEt
"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?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAl0uVmZ3QdL
621Please respect copyright.PENANAeaqvy7Gvnd
"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.621Please respect copyright.PENANACAKihaCzTj
621Please respect copyright.PENANAkIw2zUBCrd
"Does this thing involving me always have to be highlighted?"621Please respect copyright.PENANADVvKBYBO7n
621Please respect copyright.PENANAxRRrmnqnzR
"Daa, yes! Out of all of us, Yang Hyun-suk approves of you the most. He'll definitely go through with it."621Please respect copyright.PENANArnQBmaprMG
621Please respect copyright.PENANAkhKBBmf56a
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANA8T92G1XZv2
621Please respect copyright.PENANARxkAXY27jI
"Okay, if that's the case, than what of Yong-guk? Will he really help us through till the end?"621Please respect copyright.PENANA5xWG1gynvs
621Please respect copyright.PENANAN2v28wy48n
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAcCMwvasjKg
621Please respect copyright.PENANAsxtRWXua49
"I'm right here, you guys," said Yong-guk in between Mike and me. "I can clearly hear you."621Please respect copyright.PENANAFJhG05U1DT
621Please respect copyright.PENANADNzForr6fV
Mike and I turned to look at him, then ignored him like he wasn't there. Himchan chuckled.621Please respect copyright.PENANAq44QqUR6ox
621Please respect copyright.PENANAlxmtCG5RnW
"You're right," I said. "He'll stay till the end. He's such a good friend for helping us out."621Please respect copyright.PENANA3aQQh7vop6
621Please respect copyright.PENANASXl2WjnpgL
"I know right," Mike smiled. "He's awesome."621Please respect copyright.PENANAEuI57yrD1j
621Please respect copyright.PENANAR9xrt8VVGs
"I think you better focus on giving Collins a call, Sam," said Yong-guk, trying to sound serious, yet falling to do so.621Please respect copyright.PENANAfuUaKbPCwB
621Please respect copyright.PENANAeO4YZJXJpN
"Aww," Himchan complained. "Their conversation was just about to get more interesting."621Please respect copyright.PENANASfp5Z1UKwW
621Please respect copyright.PENANAtPEJKOGHfW
I laughed. "He's just trying to hide the fact that he's blushing."621Please respect copyright.PENANAOZ2j9VeNGk
621Please respect copyright.PENANAlb3wvbvS6d
"No, I'm not," said Yong-guk as he folded his arms and looked straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.621Please respect copyright.PENANAhAjhjd6lA7
621Please respect copyright.PENANAf4YfkwzTzm
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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAOtaWNBmIyq
621Please respect copyright.PENANAshwFjjSMAA
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANATORaHrp8Oq
621Please respect copyright.PENANAHAzQ08g6zj
"I'll be back," I said as I tried to stop laughing. "You better not have that face when I get back, Yong-guk."621Please respect copyright.PENANAmYBkOA6THo
621Please respect copyright.PENANA6wWRhFtEgs
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAStsJsQXT6O
621Please respect copyright.PENANASZf6JIDruH
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANApGLgbVUFmF
621Please respect copyright.PENANABuZVrsvZpJ
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANALaHY9VYtso
621Please respect copyright.PENANA85YDEiazGT
Just when I'm about to cut the call, he picked up at the last minute.621Please respect copyright.PENANABrF3eBZ5Ba
621Please respect copyright.PENANABRgFIldgBT
"Hi, Sam," came his voice. "How's song writing going?"621Please respect copyright.PENANA78hZGFO5Dx
621Please respect copyright.PENANATTJIPBHtaZ
"Not good, I'm afraid," I said as I scratched the back of my head wondering how to bring up the instrumental thing.621Please respect copyright.PENANAzDjqUz2W6c
621Please respect copyright.PENANAlCEo0p3e9q
"You'll figure it out. You do have extra help, don't you?"621Please respect copyright.PENANA6inNMYHM4B
621Please respect copyright.PENANAG5bvLI6840
"I see Lee told you about BAP."621Please respect copyright.PENANACUKwJSCCeu
621Please respect copyright.PENANAj92uuREiHM
"Well, she had to. So what can I do for you?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAEKpIjOcixr
621Please respect copyright.PENANA4M8uwRe7wk
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAo9bcc4Yw2N
621Please respect copyright.PENANAIOMUBCyxeB
"You're already coming up with that?"621Please respect copyright.PENANALAzvihCZof
621Please respect copyright.PENANAKLUDwhGIam
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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAcVYjMEOK79
621Please respect copyright.PENANAnmtXzS0naS
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANASp2gMOKXs9
621Please respect copyright.PENANAVLlJvu9llO
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANA4NpQrnd1I2
621Please respect copyright.PENANAlix5n4nZMe
I knew it. I had to say something quick to convince him.621Please respect copyright.PENANAWd9FkGmq1r
621Please respect copyright.PENANAr4nRMxhKlb
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANA2jeaeXEoxc
621Please respect copyright.PENANABlYdM0w2CI
"I believe you. But you know I'm not the only manager in this project of ours."621Please respect copyright.PENANAZL9xLsXhfL
621Please respect copyright.PENANAQhmgXqyUy7
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAvMQTNSFPlk
621Please respect copyright.PENANAX72XcD53GH
"I don't have to talk to Yang Hyun-suk. He's right here with me. I put you on loud speaker."621Please respect copyright.PENANAk1aQwQZ0HJ
621Please respect copyright.PENANAaVqwTkUxHq
I swallowed as I stopped pacing and my heart did one huge beat that I felt my chest hurt.621Please respect copyright.PENANA3fI60fHpGN
621Please respect copyright.PENANAj4K9ZXuwwu
"Oh..., good afternoon, Yang Hyun-suk sarangnim," I said quickly, so as not to seem surprised.621Please respect copyright.PENANA5RrT1wPcEd
621Please respect copyright.PENANAPXGqG7aLoz
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANA7kTkUoiu5E
621Please respect copyright.PENANApcteLzAQ2f
"And what do you think?"621Please respect copyright.PENANAyxqANixx7K
621Please respect copyright.PENANAoHCrTFQTia
"Well..., as much as the idea sounds tempting, I would actually refuse."621Please respect copyright.PENANA1LRJrdnIM4
621Please respect copyright.PENANAyVRP6u0dmW
My heart sank. I told myself it was worth a try anyway.621Please respect copyright.PENANAFBTXlrIw3d
621Please respect copyright.PENANAtGOyoTWXWt
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAXpxqH0lxBP
621Please respect copyright.PENANAPDCF6e0uFk
"Really!" I cried out in excitement. I can't believe he actually agreed.621Please respect copyright.PENANAnnlZIfBUNV
621Please respect copyright.PENANAjXXcEGG6Sm
"Let's not forget that we're the ones that have the final say. If it's good, then we will proceed."621Please respect copyright.PENANAcdECEnGu2A
621Please respect copyright.PENANAGDpQTkJ4Ny
"Thank you!" I said with so much excitement. I could hear the two managers chuckle to themselves. "I promise you won't be disappointed."621Please respect copyright.PENANAqPPiGmsThx
621Please respect copyright.PENANA30lQTqNHEn
"Make us proud, Sam," said Collins. "I hope you'll be able to come up with lyrics."621Please respect copyright.PENANAInewmSjnSz
621Please respect copyright.PENANAzREBQJczwl
"I will. Thank you once again."621Please respect copyright.PENANAwDPOpYiGhG
621Please respect copyright.PENANAb1FIfOGrvy
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAE7lRTJ75LY
621Please respect copyright.PENANAjFr6Xp79FE
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANASQ9T5MrqK6
621Please respect copyright.PENANAR776lYaMcM
"What's the news?" Mike asked as he looked at me.621Please respect copyright.PENANAOVJKdbnw5b
621Please respect copyright.PENANAhPUFPJY1fF
"I hope it's good," said Himchan.621Please respect copyright.PENANACtxmLqZJx6
621Please respect copyright.PENANA8FEThQf9dt
"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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3p7YcfjKg
621Please respect copyright.PENANA1MDMugbZzY
"They agreed," I answered.621Please respect copyright.PENANAucjA8IryqK
621Please respect copyright.PENANAo1Lcq2j7y8
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAfH4LekgGV1
621Please respect copyright.PENANAu4NixNAAK6
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANA20v60CxA9q
621Please respect copyright.PENANAVRoX0VPqUD
"Ya, I'm also anxious to know what you're all talking about," said Daehyun.621Please respect copyright.PENANAfVmC0TXcJJ
621Please respect copyright.PENANABwzMV5ASMq
"Me too," said Zoey. "What did I miss?"621Please respect copyright.PENANARkelvxFqdx
621Please respect copyright.PENANAVxrc26q7Jv
"A lot," I answered.621Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ9jebMn3d
621Please respect copyright.PENANAmM35nexpSr
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANASjlVvCgSQG
621Please respect copyright.PENANAV2vUWS8iMA
"Wow, that's awesome," said Zelo.621Please respect copyright.PENANA3jIU7aJfie
621Please respect copyright.PENANAN8wYGO5S85
"You see how the managers just love you, Sam?" Mike asked.621Please respect copyright.PENANAm7VnDzIfhQ
621Please respect copyright.PENANA0WI6enAaLM
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANAVi773mjCo0
621Please respect copyright.PENANA1sBOfcMvHE
"But for them to agree its because they know Yong-guk is an awesome producer," said Himchan. "No doubt it will be lit."621Please respect copyright.PENANAAVxEAa8nMa
621Please respect copyright.PENANAsHt1J2u6i0
"I agree with Himchan," said Zoey. "And besides, it's more of Sam's original, so they can't say no."621Please respect copyright.PENANATnF9i1ZMyu
621Please respect copyright.PENANAIe4lsuQJpZ
"Okay, we just need to focus on the instrumental and hopefully come up with the lyrics," I said.621Please respect copyright.PENANAdRpr43rbJv
621Please respect copyright.PENANAao1me5Xu84
"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."621Please respect copyright.PENANA52c8Zm90NQ
621Please respect copyright.PENANA4j6vaanOND
"Okay," I said as I rubbed my hands together. "Toxins, get over here by the console, please."621Please respect copyright.PENANAPKl5KN4zZZ
621Please respect copyright.PENANA4nOyuiSe1x
"Okay," said Christine and Zoey as they both stood up from the couch and quickly came over.621Please respect copyright.PENANALjw3EkY3No
621Please respect copyright.PENANAzYT08dvGFI
"We will be here to help in anyway we can," said Young-jae.621Please respect copyright.PENANANJm4BsyQ5w
621Please respect copyright.PENANAZQUXqzVGmI
"Thanks, guys," I said with a smile. I went over to sit back on my chair next to Yong-guk.621Please respect copyright.PENANAGA0Qjb6TnH
621Please respect copyright.PENANAWMDDww4Hfy
"Okay," said Yong-guk. "Let's continue where we ended, shall we?"
