"Okay, so here are the lyrics for the song," I said after writing them down.622Please respect copyright.PENANAdmeza8rx4T
622Please respect copyright.PENANAOYfc4vJ684
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZvRbH16Zy
622Please respect copyright.PENANARSNSwOljoi
"Just admit it," said Zoey, "the song is awesome."622Please respect copyright.PENANAP93g9jt6hl
622Please respect copyright.PENANAInYGfiCqXf
"Zoey." Christine gave her a look that told her to keep quiet. "Let the others take it in first."622Please respect copyright.PENANAJpnA7ggzTD
622Please respect copyright.PENANAuwER9y4xDB
"Zoey's right," said Daehyun. "The lyrics are great."622Please respect copyright.PENANAh80O10D3ck
622Please respect copyright.PENANAc2JxGIRoC5
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAKZknb608iY
622Please respect copyright.PENANAQ23HZteAh3
"You should listen to the tune," said Mike. "You'll love it."622Please respect copyright.PENANAqKG1emOPl7
622Please respect copyright.PENANAOOHL6b45RG
"I bet that's why you went searching for the guitar," said Jongup as he looked at me.622Please respect copyright.PENANAQqgM8k4W9F
622Please respect copyright.PENANAEjeGh5yJUk
"Play the guitar, Sam," Himchan insisted. "We're all dying to hear it. I bet Yong-guk can't wait any longer."622Please respect copyright.PENANAABcUSSGNsa
622Please respect copyright.PENANAhdpxwuLmur
"Huh?" Yong-guk looked at Himchan beside him, looking confused. "No, I'm not."622Please respect copyright.PENANAPsTbL3Dmmu
622Please respect copyright.PENANAUxjqYUx6Qj
"Of course you are," said Yong-nam as he gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "Don't forget, I'm your twin."622Please respect copyright.PENANAGFH3u6wZWb
622Please respect copyright.PENANAA66Z4Ml9Xl
"Okay," I said as I took the guitar that had been laying on the table the whole time. "Let me play it, then."622Please respect copyright.PENANAivXgyBLjvE
622Please respect copyright.PENANA2atcyszN9D
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANA42PHiAg7Jc
622Please respect copyright.PENANAEMxVinZGm9
"Wow," said Young-jae, looking at me like he's just seen something's dazzled him. "The song's going to sound awesome."622Please respect copyright.PENANAjpVMZCq9c3
622Please respect copyright.PENANAzeLUMRHshU
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAhuU5r8dtXP
622Please respect copyright.PENANANrZSPqRedB
"Alright," said Yong-guk, looking to see what I was writing on the paper. "Whatever it is, I bet we can handle it."622Please respect copyright.PENANAVgpPvlJonl
622Please respect copyright.PENANActjzUv4YgI
"Can't wait to see you try," said Christine. "But then again, if it's you two l'm not worried."622Please respect copyright.PENANACTfJ6cL5mC
622Please respect copyright.PENANAvzktiCxKJB
"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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAgYlfppf8hU
622Please respect copyright.PENANAlPfQvBhx0R
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAwwHQmm5Itu
622Please respect copyright.PENANAVpI4FRXdgV
"Come on, Jongup," Zelo complained. "You're distracting Sam. We all want to hear what she has written."622Please respect copyright.PENANArLKYRfgrr6
622Please respect copyright.PENANAWHjVQ1dmJ8
"I don't think that I'm distracting her," said Jongup as he looked at Zelo. "Right, Sam?"622Please respect copyright.PENANA0DGcyU1xAD
622Please respect copyright.PENANAOsRF7SOjJR
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANANTrx2iTow4
622Please respect copyright.PENANAYzfvDL6SV0
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAt59PWljPFj
622Please respect copyright.PENANAcnhJRJWxce
"What's wrong, Sam?" he asked.622Please respect copyright.PENANAZDYXS00FGm
622Please respect copyright.PENANAwJ0bnhBuvj
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAlsAlTxAkiM
622Please respect copyright.PENANA3GZMwS9MjK
"Goodness, Jongup," said Mike, "you almost kissed my sister."622Please respect copyright.PENANANc0tCWtRSV
622Please respect copyright.PENANAasXEzy3fV3
And it just had to be Mike. Goodness, me!622Please respect copyright.PENANApeNMBw4InJ
622Please respect copyright.PENANABWyZr6C7E6
"Huh?" Jongup looked surprised. "I did?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAHP3u1SXUf4
622Please respect copyright.PENANAFRdeZqgtSV
"And you were this close," said Zoey indicating a tiny space with her index finger and thumb.622Please respect copyright.PENANAFrdE05ftYC
622Please respect copyright.PENANATG00Hu3sKP
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAd6TEi0Sxwz
622Please respect copyright.PENANAtwCGn6anrO
"You see, I told you so," said Zelo.622Please respect copyright.PENANA35CsiHRBRc
622Please respect copyright.PENANAdJ8kwBqxYl
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAhlnbMH9DSh
622Please respect copyright.PENANAUyV14Jyx7T
Yong-nam cleared his throat. "Not at all," he answered. "You're actually pretty light."622Please respect copyright.PENANASWcL4gWYsf
622Please respect copyright.PENANADeqsV8E4PN
I nervously laughed, not sure whether he meant it or not.622Please respect copyright.PENANAFxOKkPF0D1
622Please respect copyright.PENANAILkUxs34rD
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANA4Yc2Mn8cMR
622Please respect copyright.PENANAI9jtGLKKVE
"You're such a fantasist, Zoey," said Daniel as he shook his head.622Please respect copyright.PENANAgUtL8jW3ps
622Please respect copyright.PENANAjtbWIZcdMa
"Don't mind her," I said. "Can we forget the kissing incident and focus on the song, please?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAUih4TXspfc
622Please respect copyright.PENANArFoViu20z9
"Sure," said Mike. "That's if we can reset Zoey's brain or else she won't stop talking about it."622Please respect copyright.PENANAApeMCLpGYn
622Please respect copyright.PENANAXhTwFl4XRY
"Are you saying that I'm kookoo?" Zoey asked, looking at Mike.622Please respect copyright.PENANA3EkTPslRo0
622Please respect copyright.PENANA60s78EjAoC
"You can argue later, you two," I said, giving them a look. "Let's try and focus."622Please respect copyright.PENANAPjY3vp3cZh
622Please respect copyright.PENANAmJF1oQcQ9d
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAg3XwSSoF1b
622Please respect copyright.PENANATHuWpcnkQA
"Is it just me or something's just off?" Young-jae asked.622Please respect copyright.PENANAKVrdE6N7PT
622Please respect copyright.PENANADVes4PqqGf
"I think I feel what you mean," said Zoey as she scratched her head.622Please respect copyright.PENANAQY2BmBa2En
622Please respect copyright.PENANA69CwIETxME
"Huh? What's Zoey saying?" Himchan asked.622Please respect copyright.PENANAH5E4CXl5n2
622Please respect copyright.PENANAaS7dkPcAnu
"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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAZyjcEZ3iC3
622Please respect copyright.PENANAjsg1Gpvns2
"I feel we aren't working like we did the first time," said Christine.622Please respect copyright.PENANATyerd8yedR
622Please respect copyright.PENANAL0Qjjrcfnt
"Ya, that's what I meant," said Zoey.622Please respect copyright.PENANAL7nIY6sFk8
622Please respect copyright.PENANAdDWiyCkff0
"We just aren't coming up with the right lyrics," said Yong-guk, "that's all."622Please respect copyright.PENANAKqwooL2eND
622Please respect copyright.PENANAfuMaLOVv77
"Why is that?" Himchan asked.622Please respect copyright.PENANAAQxudVu6wA
622Please respect copyright.PENANA9Jz0TcFZjy
"Who knows," said Daniel. "What do you think, Sam?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAQfOTxzfZGu
622Please respect copyright.PENANAsS6fiRv6Uc
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANA3K8jqsbZhT
622Please respect copyright.PENANAVcvheprDZq
"You look like you're about to cry, Sam," said Jongup.622Please respect copyright.PENANAB29TFr3Qdi
622Please respect copyright.PENANAG9rgjxdQDU
"Don't mind me," I said. "I'm frustrated that we're going nowhere."622Please respect copyright.PENANAWkdZF4DqsD
622Please respect copyright.PENANAKjzGnyTshz
"Maybe we're all just tired," said Zelo.622Please respect copyright.PENANAy3fYJVHzVs
622Please respect copyright.PENANAT7TaKUGchh
"I felt we rested enough," said Daehyun.622Please respect copyright.PENANAx5xtXAMsUC
622Please respect copyright.PENANAqrAoBrkp8P
"Or maybe we've been in the same place for too long," I suggested. "Sometimes the environment contributes greatly."622Please respect copyright.PENANAGetK6GRSVN
622Please respect copyright.PENANAEcJNr1hRJx
"Maybe," said Yong-guk.622Please respect copyright.PENANAmsv2FnXHbq
622Please respect copyright.PENANAwB9rIbNdE7
"What do you think, Yong-nam?" Christine asked as she turned to look at him.622Please respect copyright.PENANABrAxQvjhPf
622Please respect copyright.PENANAVTTwQgWFKr
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."622Please respect copyright.PENANA3ir3iGX6Bn
622Please respect copyright.PENANAvo7cq8WHnz
"Tomorrow?" Daniel looked shocked at the idea. "Won't that be a little too late for us?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAZkbhcT81K8
622Please respect copyright.PENANA81SlyDMR4G
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAiAGHXvFUYg
622Please respect copyright.PENANAIcIpD4oP93
"Not forgetting that we should at least have something to present to Yang Hyun-suk," said Zoey.622Please respect copyright.PENANAgrvc4iSHXS
622Please respect copyright.PENANAYX3yIpPnkL
"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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAzVZLkaH2vT
622Please respect copyright.PENANAfugAT1qpsL
"Now I wish we never had to make an album," said Zoey as she leaned back on the chair and sighed.622Please respect copyright.PENANAPf2dZ8Mm7j
622Please respect copyright.PENANA0HwGiMEyi3
"Wow, you guys are working on an album?" Jongup asked.622Please respect copyright.PENANACYX3duefjw
622Please respect copyright.PENANAQm1xdDQM1K
"Yep," I answered as I lifted my face up from my hands. "Our managers are ambitious."622Please respect copyright.PENANAtOVqb6sSEs
622Please respect copyright.PENANACKrTTNDOEG
"At least we don't have to worry about the other songs," said Zoey.622Please respect copyright.PENANATc1x480bmI
622Please respect copyright.PENANACs4rj0qdm4
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAihZJYi4BXZ
622Please respect copyright.PENANAtO7F628OYI
"I think we should take a little break," said Yong-nam.622Please respect copyright.PENANAMY4XjwySb1
622Please respect copyright.PENANAGHiPvGrkbK
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?622Please respect copyright.PENANACE0tffiTGo
622Please respect copyright.PENANAhcoCPO8UIh
"You're scaring me, Sam," I heard Yong-guk say.622Please respect copyright.PENANAGXhpMCxgmR
622Please respect copyright.PENANA9AcPHjBaym
"Oh, don't mind her," said Zoey. "She started this and finding a way to finish it is frustrating."622Please respect copyright.PENANAFIivkN95ix
622Please respect copyright.PENANABwAbphRrZO
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAHbpWf0COYt
622Please respect copyright.PENANAlbyubf7bag
"Wait..., does this mean we won't have the reward Lee was talking about?" I heard Daniel ask.622Please respect copyright.PENANA7q9PFNzpsH
622Please respect copyright.PENANA7y1e0nwxCl
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAmvLhVKoh9S
622Please respect copyright.PENANA0UDhEJZUvo
"Don't worry about that, Daniel," I said. "Lee will give us that reward."622Please respect copyright.PENANAveP1O0cxbx
622Please respect copyright.PENANAfCTQW3KjDa
"For someone who seems tired, you sound pretty confident," said Himchan.622Please respect copyright.PENANAaMckAaq2Dq
622Please respect copyright.PENANA4wJSqVF9Kl
"I just know." I smiled at him as I shrugged my shoulders.622Please respect copyright.PENANAHo0VBUpqWj
622Please respect copyright.PENANACPHMSeHzBh
"Do you've any idea what it could be?" Daniel asked.622Please respect copyright.PENANAPM6AMEl79z
622Please respect copyright.PENANAxt0N1CxRX1
I shook my head. It's best it turns out as a surprise.622Please respect copyright.PENANAizmKqUTWTV
622Please respect copyright.PENANAUrKaMMdS7D
"So, what are we going to do now?" Zelo asked. "Just sit and do nothing?"622Please respect copyright.PENANANocONOcqht
622Please respect copyright.PENANA1BLSbb9Tbf
"We can do something fun to pass the time," Christine suggested.622Please respect copyright.PENANAxliKtKy3ze
622Please respect copyright.PENANAByRCvvMJpV
"Not me," I went back to lying down on the floor.622Please respect copyright.PENANA1QTr30vtDb
622Please respect copyright.PENANACYCSZkJif9
No one said a word. I could feel a few eyes on me, while others, I'm guessing, gave each other looks.622Please respect copyright.PENANAc7z9GkyFIs
622Please respect copyright.PENANAmYDx7r8G2E
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "You're such a party pooper."622Please respect copyright.PENANAoxzVS9D7rJ
622Please respect copyright.PENANABUm3lTOSz3
"Haven't heard you call me that in a while," I said as I smiled at the ceiling.622Please respect copyright.PENANAnPRguaaJw3
622Please respect copyright.PENANAlHOVMtVxe0
"Get up, will you? This is no time to be lying down."622Please respect copyright.PENANAKQZZ9vT82c
622Please respect copyright.PENANAZFOolFcUXh
"There's nothing wrong with lying down to rest, is there?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAfWADpxf1Rv
622Please respect copyright.PENANADrcP3pXflC
"Goodness, me." Zoey sounded frustrated. She couldn't argue over that and she knew it.622Please respect copyright.PENANAJQ0IrfHVbz
622Please respect copyright.PENANAJLGJoh6fem
"Maybe we should call Lee to pick us up," Mike suggested.622Please respect copyright.PENANA6U0PWumXva
622Please respect copyright.PENANAK5ixbS1wDz
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAURurXg5Pbl
622Please respect copyright.PENANA2atrPF4c8O
I heard Zelo and Daehyun chuckle while I heard Christine and Zoey mutter out in frustration.622Please respect copyright.PENANAAVofQNwScl
622Please respect copyright.PENANASmGQkJDsG5
"Looks like you're stuck here with us until Lee comes to pick you up," I heard Yong-guk say.622Please respect copyright.PENANAzhUcgsUma3
622Please respect copyright.PENANAbNwp2LbiAn
"But we can't sit here doing nothing," said Daniel. "Like Christine said, we better find something to do."622Please respect copyright.PENANAfDJxkYagF7
622Please respect copyright.PENANANxmEQVe8Gm
"You should be resting," I suggested, my eyes still closed.622Please respect copyright.PENANAqvnVlMAxCb
622Please respect copyright.PENANAJMVpnTVQMI
"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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAmoTPRg4B6r
622Please respect copyright.PENANAvdxDp4SmEq
I smiled. "Suit yourself."622Please respect copyright.PENANAIV4yJ2OMHo
622Please respect copyright.PENANAzTJYPzOibZ
"No one wants to do karaoke in the recording booth?" Jongup suggested.622Please respect copyright.PENANAZJtoRlu9yI
622Please respect copyright.PENANAFtD33IVdqS
"I think we've done enough singing for one day," said Daehyun.622Please respect copyright.PENANAsUa0UaO5cn
622Please respect copyright.PENANAS3weGsylXz
"I agree," said Zoey.622Please respect copyright.PENANAlTE05T48uv
622Please respect copyright.PENANAqZ3lBtrcca
"If there's clearly nothing to do, then I think we should be resting like Sam's doing right now," said Yong-guk.622Please respect copyright.PENANA5wOhIMQ1yo
622Please respect copyright.PENANACy1yKpAcb5
"I like your thinking," I said with my eyes closed. I raised my hand to give him a thumbs up.622Please respect copyright.PENANAlzjl1lp81h
622Please respect copyright.PENANAiunPZyXXmq
"You songwriters all think the same," I heard Christine mutter.622Please respect copyright.PENANAsJvGWEdoxi
622Please respect copyright.PENANA6tyvugQCy6
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAFy0SacAEaU
622Please respect copyright.PENANAEfd7IB7z6W
"Huh? Not you too, Mike," said Zoey, sounding surprised.622Please respect copyright.PENANAHyYn0VYwgP
622Please respect copyright.PENANApZQgnkZrPe
"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?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAMuukpBq8zX
622Please respect copyright.PENANApEATWch0wQ
"I shouldn't be surprised coming from you."622Please respect copyright.PENANAmIaimXhTNp
622Please respect copyright.PENANA19jIZVVt51
"Ya, ya, ya, Zoey. I'm the bad guy here. Doesn't matter now, does it?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAHaVNNLrE3G
622Please respect copyright.PENANADpmAaIAHk4
"Well, if there's nothing for you guys to do at the moment, then I'm going to work on something," said Yong-guk.622Please respect copyright.PENANABzjrlCFIJX
622Please respect copyright.PENANAYci4rnG8AQ
"And what could that be?" Young-jae asked.622Please respect copyright.PENANAuDHA9oXJ1n
622Please respect copyright.PENANA4U3xqXLa2b
"Our song, of course."622Please respect copyright.PENANAYt9lhp0BSk
622Please respect copyright.PENANARHWWarjtIX
"You go ahead and do that," I said.622Please respect copyright.PENANAKjVWnfqvwv
622Please respect copyright.PENANAePcERo70Mq
There came an awkward pause and I opened one eye to look at him.622Please respect copyright.PENANA0YNhHIwnnr
622Please respect copyright.PENANAjLsS8pJmgx
"You look surprised, Yong-guk," said Yong-nam. He took the words right out of my mouth.622Please respect copyright.PENANAwggYtgzjq4
622Please respect copyright.PENANA7Zn7KRGhG8
"I thought that would get Sam up from the floor since she seems to really like helping out," said Yong-guk.622Please respect copyright.PENANAx73xH9xZiv
622Please respect copyright.PENANAAG3oWJF2Hj
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAVLMJKWT9fO
622Please respect copyright.PENANA8t1oVWNos1
"Okay, then," said Yong-guk. "And you, Mike?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAWEdqC2KjR4
622Please respect copyright.PENANAAwmfFZHo9c
"I'll pass too," said Mike.622Please respect copyright.PENANAenJJOD90Wo
622Please respect copyright.PENANAMVW8JAPRaB
"Okay. I'll be by the console. Any of you guys want to join me?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAhxMVwK3T4z
622Please respect copyright.PENANA8ciUA3NQTL
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAe4NpB8dOgI
622Please respect copyright.PENANAEd3rvzzXIR
"I'm going to relax over here too," said Young-jae.622Please respect copyright.PENANAkEZSCtaSFr
622Please respect copyright.PENANAbMF9fVd9xG
"What's up with everyone?" Yong-guk asked, sounding surprised.622Please respect copyright.PENANAcLVwqagM3N
622Please respect copyright.PENANANn1pEAqKH0
"Like Yong-nam said, we're tired," I said as I sat up. "The best thing to do right now is relax."622Please respect copyright.PENANA1nzl5Y0lpa
622Please respect copyright.PENANAfL8BlO2IqL
"Aren't you worried about not making progress on your song?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAAjY7jQw0Qn
622Please respect copyright.PENANAZDo6IrgSnU
"I was about to ask the same question," said Zoey with a sulky look on her face. 622Please respect copyright.PENANA8SrCgtGme2
622Please respect copyright.PENANAa7qT9ny8oB
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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAoO4FIgeHwE
622Please respect copyright.PENANAivaj9qzMhe
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANA3gIQ5NDwu2
622Please respect copyright.PENANAr7AfFzWyUY
"You of all people shouldn't even be sleeping," said Yong-guk.622Please respect copyright.PENANAA5OUl88EA5
622Please respect copyright.PENANAE6057s0sI1
I laughed. As much as I wanted to hear these two brothers argue, it ended there. I went back to sleeping on the floor.622Please respect copyright.PENANAERJjTvpf7r
622Please respect copyright.PENANAullG9AMWUU
"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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAcao36Pc7pJ
622Please respect copyright.PENANAT49CBPF63B
"Looks like the majority wins," said Himchan as he chuckled.622Please respect copyright.PENANAbH4ZCJ5OTh
622Please respect copyright.PENANAKm02owiOHt
Zoey mourned in frustration. Even I could tell she's tired. She had no choice but to give in.622Please respect copyright.PENANAmUIyzbu3sC
622Please respect copyright.PENANA4vQs0uQk9S
"Oh, man!" Daniel muttered out loud.622Please respect copyright.PENANAvQnDnFqllL
622Please respect copyright.PENANABWblOxiw7v
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAPeYaWscPZ6
622Please respect copyright.PENANAtrLWqpTDqx
"Sorry, guys," he said. He quickly looked up from his phone when he noticed people's eyes on him. "Playing a game over here."622Please respect copyright.PENANAQm3HoyTwbx
622Please respect copyright.PENANAt0NEBUJX4Z
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANACRcirObpXe
622Please respect copyright.PENANALRNsybelgW
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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAPQVfOL4kqP
622Please respect copyright.PENANArX4O0j9G1q
"I think I'll have a little shut-eye," said Christine.622Please respect copyright.PENANAHJCkfdGohB
622Please respect copyright.PENANAqHCeBICqvs
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAsyHrMta0iY
622Please respect copyright.PENANAvf3Z97BezG
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAXAuvFgF1Au
622Please respect copyright.PENANApjJrKCGdlG
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAPfLywBRskN
622Please respect copyright.PENANASygiClQovu
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAhkVFPAW89Z
622Please respect copyright.PENANAfOz6DsKpZO
"Hey, Sam?" I heard Jongup call me. "Are you asleep?"622Please respect copyright.PENANA2YgEnwiVk5
622Please respect copyright.PENANAu7WVt9XSIC
"No," I answered. I drew my eyes open and looked at him. "What is it?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAM0jQqiMeNt
622Please respect copyright.PENANAByHM1iY0Gq
"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.622Please respect copyright.PENANArATQsm4ast
622Please respect copyright.PENANAKv88BlfsEU
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANADfLWL9zq3E
622Please respect copyright.PENANAP7iE7xFFUB
"I know," said Jongup. "You should see this previous one. It will knock your socks off."622Please respect copyright.PENANAclJgVHr7xr
622Please respect copyright.PENANANCpNSrtxN7
I joined Jongup in watching more cat videos. We soon moved on to watch people participate in various dance challenges.622Please respect copyright.PENANAixEuCZjRT1
622Please respect copyright.PENANAcmIeNLwLi2
"We should've a dance challenge one day," I said to Jongup as we watched.622Please respect copyright.PENANA09HCRmy0yL
622Please respect copyright.PENANAevBpWgW3ix
"Huh?" he turned to look at me. "We should've a dance challenge?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAUE8AZy3BlR
622Please respect copyright.PENANAMEuI5Q8swQ
"Ya. I mean The Toxins vs BAP."622Please respect copyright.PENANAYOgOJHDZ5h
622Please respect copyright.PENANARAvYFBdam2
"Oh..., like the one you had with Monsta X?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAg9WNDBeX7l
622Please respect copyright.PENANA0uRvuLjpAS
"Yes, like that one. You watched it?"622Please respect copyright.PENANA44tGBmbdql
622Please respect copyright.PENANA3hcFoml4YF
"I think a lot of us did. People really liked it."622Please respect copyright.PENANAyvOpOBXUwV
622Please respect copyright.PENANABOYEBQ4kPo
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAlhy19TFqAg
622Please respect copyright.PENANADY0PfiSjjj
"Oh, you've an album to work on."622Please respect copyright.PENANAJtJ6fVpdDv
622Please respect copyright.PENANAZlWPG5zPyQ
I stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Just thinking about it drains me." I went back to looking at his phone.622Please respect copyright.PENANA8EVPC0bWYb
622Please respect copyright.PENANA1rKzFhKOf5
"Did I hear someone talk about having a dance challenge with BAP?" Zoey asked.622Please respect copyright.PENANADz8XbbZvsP
622Please respect copyright.PENANAKDVdfIDdlB
I raised my head a little and saw Zoey still on her phone.622Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZLUnkua2R
622Please respect copyright.PENANAMKwlLFN2bG
"Yes, I said that," I said as I dropped my head and stared at Jongup's phone.622Please respect copyright.PENANAnp8QjhY9Qc
622Please respect copyright.PENANApodfeufQ77
"Why not do so now?"622Please respect copyright.PENANANSETkmW0R7
622Please respect copyright.PENANAp2raWIHZIz
"No!" Christine, Mike and I said out loud at the same time.622Please respect copyright.PENANA9c9f6OJ8Ix
622Please respect copyright.PENANAShr25cyCIv
"Eish, guys. It's why I asked. You don't have to eat me alive."622Please respect copyright.PENANAkUOqkUWwff
622Please respect copyright.PENANAbzYtLwqUHy
Himchan and the other BAP members around the table started to chuckle.622Please respect copyright.PENANAhzZixCXUkV
622Please respect copyright.PENANAnKDnmQvr0d
"You Toxins really are something," said Himchan. "You do know that the majority of you opposed, right?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAOmx34LYfmc
622Please respect copyright.PENANAiDDolFAQaL
"Except Daniel," said Zelo.622Please respect copyright.PENANAs7zR3zRmbl
622Please respect copyright.PENANAzqj2tPdy8k
"Oh, I refuse too," said Daniel, still on his phone.622Please respect copyright.PENANAHBxbimMkcf
622Please respect copyright.PENANAAgVGwFjXXO
Zoey tsked. "You guys are no fun."622Please respect copyright.PENANAWxZnuEUOgU
622Please respect copyright.PENANA3RGtsSqRgx
"Use logic, Zoey," said Christine. "We're all tired and don't have the energy for a dance challenge."622Please respect copyright.PENANA0VZzIggbQA
622Please respect copyright.PENANAJjQscDTdiP
"I know that. I thought maybe someone's in the mood for it."622Please respect copyright.PENANAkqK1CxlpuU
622Please respect copyright.PENANALJSQKmeiDn
"No one is in the mood for it," said Mike.622Please respect copyright.PENANAcM4XAYOq4r
622Please respect copyright.PENANAXO55hqGXSv
"And what if the BAP members were?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAhnMPJcWiJk
622Please respect copyright.PENANAxPiYA60hUe
I heard Daehyun nervously chuckle. "To be honest, Zoey," he said, "I'm definitely not in the mood."622Please respect copyright.PENANAFPpPFfSusv
622Please respect copyright.PENANACSAO4b5trh
"Me too," said Young-jae.622Please respect copyright.PENANA72pQmTP1Lm
622Please respect copyright.PENANAr0k7XVTmRm
"Me three," said Zelo.622Please respect copyright.PENANADIv4B94BEN
622Please respect copyright.PENANAOjgN1ZJScW
"Guess I don't have to ask you, Himchan," said Zoey, sounding unimpressed.622Please respect copyright.PENANApu2QxooEUm
622Please respect copyright.PENANAHhJeWm6wSy
Himchan, just like Daehyun, nervously chuckled too.622Please respect copyright.PENANAgutmyhydvg
622Please respect copyright.PENANAguZXBOR93Z
"You can ask Yong-guk," Zelo suggested.622Please respect copyright.PENANAhjNNt8S6uD
622Please respect copyright.PENANAcwMrpDVIcP
"Nah. He's already busy and I don't like to be a bother."622Please respect copyright.PENANA1cESyic1pk
622Please respect copyright.PENANA67i1uWNw8B
"Really?" Mike asked. Uh-oh. I smell an argument brewing. "You bother a lot of us everyday."622Please respect copyright.PENANAbpTdevr1df
622Please respect copyright.PENANAEDOwSYxANS
"What did you say!?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAYWjduWdQIZ
622Please respect copyright.PENANAepolTIW8vo
"Quiet down, Zoey," said Christine. "You're disturbing Yong-nam. He's probably asleep."622Please respect copyright.PENANAzrDvh9HYk9
622Please respect copyright.PENANAnM0qJD45Nb
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAjwp3Fl4SEo
622Please respect copyright.PENANAkwfeA2pCyK
"I bet he isn't," said Zoey. "Is he, Sam?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAeITvezTde6
622Please respect copyright.PENANAXrbtbgd9dQ
"Huh?" I got a little caught off guard as I didn't answer Zoey's question.622Please respect copyright.PENANAHnSx2iHfJF
622Please respect copyright.PENANA0LqBQQkXi7
"Is he awake?"622Please respect copyright.PENANALdi9QEX3Sr
622Please respect copyright.PENANAbpoe6GyRq0
"Not sure," I answered. "He would've said something if he was."622Please respect copyright.PENANAeJAZBBo19W
622Please respect copyright.PENANAmMyfUksGNh
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANArOEptO0qS3
622Please respect copyright.PENANAhbKjV6gjiu
"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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAGB3WwVxAOq
622Please respect copyright.PENANAfq9CUIgY8f
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "It's what you said, Mike. How am I a bother to you?"622Please respect copyright.PENANA2zTrr4JHjr
622Please respect copyright.PENANAXMqsevqfWG
"You're being a bother right now. I'm trying to rest and you're disturbing me."622Please respect copyright.PENANA7mtR20gBRm
622Please respect copyright.PENANAmkfubt0BJk
Zoey hissed that I thought a snake had magically appeared in the room. If she was one, no doubt she would attack Mike first.622Please respect copyright.PENANAwhCKqvzGIM
622Please respect copyright.PENANAC4LYIERDaV
"Enough," said Christine. "No one wants to see or hear you two fight."622Please respect copyright.PENANA012DshRYfQ
622Please respect copyright.PENANAosxfdboESg
"Mike started it," said Zoey.622Please respect copyright.PENANAwM28rjrpRU
622Please respect copyright.PENANAskYZgPYDkS
"You amplified it," said Mike. "You always do."622Please respect copyright.PENANAjx4wZq8b7m
622Please respect copyright.PENANA1BU0Slk3w2
"For once I agree with Mike," I said. "Let it go, Zoey."622Please respect copyright.PENANA3XAeZupDAI
622Please respect copyright.PENANACyK95ZR0qc
"You guys are unbelievable," said Zoey.622Please respect copyright.PENANArUGt2zjAdE
622Please respect copyright.PENANAzqhBnmjBlx
"You're unbelievable," said Himchan as he chuckled. "You really are a drama queen. No offense."622Please respect copyright.PENANAfO1nErM24e
622Please respect copyright.PENANAjHdoT8i1FE
"None taken. These guys call me that all the time."622Please respect copyright.PENANAhfPvK75Ujc
622Please respect copyright.PENANAkqgzHT3JsO
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAbHGL6QBUyR
622Please respect copyright.PENANAbZSl2MDr2o
I stretched out my arms and stood up, stretching my whole body.622Please respect copyright.PENANAoLjf5mdX1P
622Please respect copyright.PENANAyi1kNkH1Hm
"I've had enough of watching Instagram videos," I told Jongup.622Please respect copyright.PENANACEsCeOVjDX
622Please respect copyright.PENANAbeYii40c9P
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAi0UzprEDVH
622Please respect copyright.PENANAtMQUnhQZvd
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANA3a36TFKc6I
622Please respect copyright.PENANAHHiThU4zsE
"Hey, there," I said to him when I got behind him. I bent over to look at him from the side of his face.622Please respect copyright.PENANA0JIUGNeNmJ
622Please respect copyright.PENANADQF5PM4jwF
"Oh, Sam," he looked up at me, surprised. "I didn't hear you coming."622Please respect copyright.PENANAAOnhuk7oH9
622Please respect copyright.PENANA4MIfyETiKC
"I've cat feet," I said as I took the empty seat next to him.622Please respect copyright.PENANAp0mAdvW2xm
622Please respect copyright.PENANAo0qngXgz0d
"Cat feet?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAZyhkbchTaP
622Please respect copyright.PENANAnAdPBVQqyp
"I'm told there are times when people don't hear me coming so they say I've cat feet. I sometimes scare them."622Please respect copyright.PENANAILXj75igAP
622Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5ii09yP6r
"Oh, I see."622Please respect copyright.PENANAyiP6qIkMz9
622Please respect copyright.PENANA4opZmvclFi
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAnJXarFAx0T
622Please respect copyright.PENANAmumTtbceIE
"I'll keep that in mind," said Yong-guk as he turned to smile at her.622Please respect copyright.PENANAMiJjmwtCyK
622Please respect copyright.PENANAvSN6DUAA6z
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAFiuLK3yG8Y
622Please respect copyright.PENANAiNZETMyUHF
"I'm not working on our song," said Yong-guk as he went to work on the laptop.622Please respect copyright.PENANADsAKkSQqWi
622Please respect copyright.PENANAzqCWF0qEKu
"Then, what are you working on?" I raised my eyebrow at him.622Please respect copyright.PENANA140SVVqiJ8
622Please respect copyright.PENANAsTkahUGCYU
"On your song," he answered.622Please respect copyright.PENANA2hYC067yFV
622Please respect copyright.PENANAyzywzPURoM
"Huh?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAUILlyewb5f
622Please respect copyright.PENANARpfr9DTeh6
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAY75hy82eKS
622Please respect copyright.PENANA2zzW499K3F
"Wow." I'm surprised. I didn't think Yong-guk would go this far. I didn't even know what to say.622Please respect copyright.PENANA745t14nf8L
622Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4EeXTuAhv
"Hey, are you okay, Sam?" Yong-guk asked.622Please respect copyright.PENANARuvpqW77i9
622Please respect copyright.PENANAiXh1tfWAgs
I quickly turned to look at him. "Huh?"622Please respect copyright.PENANA9GAfjotamx
622Please respect copyright.PENANAzJhafZgrtQ
"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?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAKbqK7tpVxj
622Please respect copyright.PENANA8d2ThWK84j
I smiled at him. He really means it. There aren't many people in the world who are so thoughtful.622Please respect copyright.PENANAlRWlJq2ffT
622Please respect copyright.PENANArvgbKUjkXi
"I know what you mean. And no. I think there's no better person to work on it than you, Yong-guk."622Please respect copyright.PENANA1UGIibBfV2
622Please respect copyright.PENANAHIdzyKCeFc
"Really?" He looked a little surprised with what I said.622Please respect copyright.PENANATiCx3Qd3pv
622Please respect copyright.PENANA17N9qjIN2C
"Of course! Who would've thought we would've you helping us? It's actually really nice of you."622Please respect copyright.PENANA0LglBQw8rq
622Please respect copyright.PENANAU3BafFXA4s
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAySgKbjxbxs
622Please respect copyright.PENANAzJwYNnEQai
"May I hear what you've done so far?" I asked.622Please respect copyright.PENANAg4r2uz0S6b
622Please respect copyright.PENANAGgCMcSS8n8
"Ah..., sure," he said as he brought over the laptop closer.622Please respect copyright.PENANAHcBmPWLaOW
622Please respect copyright.PENANAkxyVf2zAe9
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANApwmdgMnvnG
622Please respect copyright.PENANACrf5bwGiXX
"Amazing," I looked at him with so much awe. "It's no wonder you're such a great producer."622Please respect copyright.PENANASxdB6Bs6OW
622Please respect copyright.PENANA1KYm4gXJXx
He chuckled. "Coming from you, that means a lot."622Please respect copyright.PENANA2Nrv4yhMwr
622Please respect copyright.PENANAg2QoplLKzC
"The others should hear this." My ear twitched. "I know you're there, Mike."622Please respect copyright.PENANAvvjlLThp7A
622Please respect copyright.PENANAztQtGK6exv
"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?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAIlIcl5BDZv
622Please respect copyright.PENANA0KVFn9PMXo
"Because what you've ain't cat feet," I smirked at him. "You've to work a lot harder than that."622Please respect copyright.PENANAnzdaGAjXCC
622Please respect copyright.PENANAmghYHPMO93
"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?"622Please respect copyright.PENANASxodmn7Uzc
622Please respect copyright.PENANAJawXHgXKPv
"This," I said as I pressed the play button on the laptop, playing out the instrumental for him.622Please respect copyright.PENANAJT8fgvuXQs
622Please respect copyright.PENANAdZvX9hSxd1
"Wow," muttered Mike. "But wait..., why does this beat sound familiar?"622Please respect copyright.PENANA9eR5QdX1Jx
622Please respect copyright.PENANAAUWLizkuxJ
"It's because it's the beat to our song, silly," I said to him.622Please respect copyright.PENANA59rfMP8uwR
622Please respect copyright.PENANAkPFbssojJ9
"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?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAkIgqxazlrw
622Please respect copyright.PENANAVmnl5BAVMu
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANA2mOHKlatT8
622Please respect copyright.PENANAYkawoLKJxb
"You're amazing," he said as he patted Yong-guk on the shoulder. "This song will be awesome."622Please respect copyright.PENANAm1vSSqmwXp
622Please respect copyright.PENANAQhHUDNMlxP
"Thanks," he said. "You should be thanking your sister, though."622Please respect copyright.PENANAKDmNrmZkv9
622Please respect copyright.PENANAYh3j02HFks
"Huh?" Mike and I looked pluzzled.622Please respect copyright.PENANA1400FLNZjp
622Please respect copyright.PENANAE9nOoG7G0H
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAHEqtGfUr9T
622Please respect copyright.PENANAa6lC768VCm
"Oh...," I forgot he said that. Now it's my turn to blush, and Yong-guk smiled.622Please respect copyright.PENANAaKe3QfTiXl
622Please respect copyright.PENANA4IOhNgISqv
"Ya, my sister is a genius," said Mike. "May I join you?"622Please respect copyright.PENANARZOZBMVncj
622Please respect copyright.PENANAHJJk1NTSh0
"Sure," said Yong-guk. "With you two here, I bet we can work on it together."622Please respect copyright.PENANA69z3Dq9wo8
622Please respect copyright.PENANAajmmDtlZ9m
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAOQtEfM5ZoV
622Please respect copyright.PENANAzWN5OcPEg2
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAP5TLOhZCh2
622Please respect copyright.PENANAS2kqYaEQzE
"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.622Please respect copyright.PENANA0f6hgluqjA
622Please respect copyright.PENANAKEQE5OSS1w
"Alright, let's start," said Yong-guk.622Please respect copyright.PENANAcl2nHeNUra
622Please respect copyright.PENANAQhvnMGQlPH
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANA2SBNwmeP0Z
622Please respect copyright.PENANA8Aanrq1mrg
"Hey, what's going on here?" Himchan asked as he came to join us.622Please respect copyright.PENANAvBT7esLiSj
622Please respect copyright.PENANA4GykDkByKZ
"We're working on an instrumental," Mike answered.622Please respect copyright.PENANABXj27emp1n
622Please respect copyright.PENANADhTi93XqUY
"Which one?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAcS1066WAqw
622Please respect copyright.PENANAwJ4wgdf81u
"For our song," I answered. "You should hear it, it's really good."622Please respect copyright.PENANAAieGwDDDkB
622Please respect copyright.PENANAV4vuifJIQD
"Oh, I thought you had run out of ideas for the lyrics."622Please respect copyright.PENANApRGTIMmzc8
622Please respect copyright.PENANA9fqqlp2ftL
"Well, I did. Maybe if I continue working on the instrumental, I might come up with them."622Please respect copyright.PENANAUIb8PNggLl
622Please respect copyright.PENANACxjY2QGY5B
"How far have you gone doing so?"622Please respect copyright.PENANA3Oyak0oLwk
622Please respect copyright.PENANAMbB03SmIpn
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAzxLIbQSPcM
622Please respect copyright.PENANAV54gxNkJIi
"I agree," said Mike.622Please respect copyright.PENANA9UUNJ5eHBB
622Please respect copyright.PENANAE3nuB1kGsc
"And you're going to use this instrumental for your album?" Himchan asked.622Please respect copyright.PENANAYRCPW88WWa
622Please respect copyright.PENANATmNQVkA2l6
"Of course we're," I answered, looking back at him. I now understood why he asked and I winced.622Please respect copyright.PENANAmXDBJ62Ccm
622Please respect copyright.PENANAyuValVz80b
"What is it, Sam?" Mike asked.622Please respect copyright.PENANAXtN4qacYku
622Please respect copyright.PENANAvLqXFz0Jp7
"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?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAlGpSW1dtUP
622Please respect copyright.PENANAyNAOIpbp25
"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?"622Please respect copyright.PENANABm2ECZWLHb
622Please respect copyright.PENANAfV4ND6GR6s
"Collins may agree. But what about Yang Hyun-suk?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAqprvEeutEi
622Please respect copyright.PENANAmnDLnxmWNX
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANA7ivf0AwMV4
622Please respect copyright.PENANAslBcpkTwqu
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANA4FkCojPvRy
622Please respect copyright.PENANA2W3O9WQAaF
"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?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAA6aPOSMdhK
622Please respect copyright.PENANAjFoYE47BZH
"This is your tune and melody, Sam. So, he can't refuse. I mean, the song we did with BigBang was all you too."622Please respect copyright.PENANA3CqpFtxhfI
622Please respect copyright.PENANAwdkmkda2hE
"It was?" Yong-guk and Himchan asked at the same time.622Please respect copyright.PENANAzqL6l83U9I
622Please respect copyright.PENANAkMH5VNmWzd
"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?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAQdNNJyjmvk
622Please respect copyright.PENANADDskHJsI4i
"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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7OKBff5cE
622Please respect copyright.PENANAMNAHgCu0Ul
"Does this thing involving me always have to be highlighted?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAq1zu6JLWHz
622Please respect copyright.PENANAMeJCMmUMXJ
"Daa, yes! Out of all of us, Yang Hyun-suk approves of you the most. He'll definitely go through with it."622Please respect copyright.PENANAuOXw6QMCdu
622Please respect copyright.PENANADAxswPtSzC
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAGSh5KnPT8b
622Please respect copyright.PENANA5FAT2ni8Pi
"Okay, if that's the case, than what of Yong-guk? Will he really help us through till the end?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAsujpRDieKx
622Please respect copyright.PENANA1sCxKFARiB
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAUise81P5Kf
622Please respect copyright.PENANAsk2WZTqHQg
"I'm right here, you guys," said Yong-guk in between Mike and me. "I can clearly hear you."622Please respect copyright.PENANAgFw0GurvGs
622Please respect copyright.PENANA4aPkZQnqLC
Mike and I turned to look at him, then ignored him like he wasn't there. Himchan chuckled.622Please respect copyright.PENANAeMi7yQWAZq
622Please respect copyright.PENANAFe6rEGxjMB
"You're right," I said. "He'll stay till the end. He's such a good friend for helping us out."622Please respect copyright.PENANAWNCV8ZylyL
622Please respect copyright.PENANAy8byzXPr2U
"I know right," Mike smiled. "He's awesome."622Please respect copyright.PENANAd7vdXDiCgA
622Please respect copyright.PENANARqyaflBN2p
"I think you better focus on giving Collins a call, Sam," said Yong-guk, trying to sound serious, yet falling to do so.622Please respect copyright.PENANAiJko2aj3TM
622Please respect copyright.PENANAHHQkssRz2y
"Aww," Himchan complained. "Their conversation was just about to get more interesting."622Please respect copyright.PENANAwA5CLj5I6K
622Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ5uVU0i0t
I laughed. "He's just trying to hide the fact that he's blushing."622Please respect copyright.PENANAXOkum2jXoj
622Please respect copyright.PENANAa0Wlo29hqT
"No, I'm not," said Yong-guk as he folded his arms and looked straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.622Please respect copyright.PENANAJSMUgEmwd6
622Please respect copyright.PENANAeXpGb5QZib
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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAbVGJtiVwFH
622Please respect copyright.PENANAFiKnX1Vgx6
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAwWIZ9zJpJg
622Please respect copyright.PENANAsmmEL5ikmc
"I'll be back," I said as I tried to stop laughing. "You better not have that face when I get back, Yong-guk."622Please respect copyright.PENANAGlG1muVEdQ
622Please respect copyright.PENANAjBU4Fk0AF8
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANA2BA8aRGePL
622Please respect copyright.PENANAA3elND8MLY
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAekVEIvBt7w
622Please respect copyright.PENANALfFOq5KEmU
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANARdkZlj9bxS
622Please respect copyright.PENANAAudhAlWRc1
Just when I'm about to cut the call, he picked up at the last minute.622Please respect copyright.PENANAPN2jtqEY2E
622Please respect copyright.PENANACIOXxKupU7
"Hi, Sam," came his voice. "How's song writing going?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAqPJ03yMbqc
622Please respect copyright.PENANAyGNZ6nACWA
"Not good, I'm afraid," I said as I scratched the back of my head wondering how to bring up the instrumental thing.622Please respect copyright.PENANAuWVmthkdcC
622Please respect copyright.PENANAqjnoCbiBAK
"You'll figure it out. You do have extra help, don't you?"622Please respect copyright.PENANA8y1GDhpQOA
622Please respect copyright.PENANAs6XpX3tdUn
"I see Lee told you about BAP."622Please respect copyright.PENANAnOOkz7SchB
622Please respect copyright.PENANAS0QH9Af8dt
"Well, she had to. So what can I do for you?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAPzEWx4JbkC
622Please respect copyright.PENANA9yIaFS2CR4
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAaXKB9dffnQ
622Please respect copyright.PENANAI457jI3i4E
"You're already coming up with that?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAC4NHK7GZ8O
622Please respect copyright.PENANAx4KJvpdA8j
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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAm71EmsLtlR
622Please respect copyright.PENANADyAGtgCvOc
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANA0CYrvbqvqA
622Please respect copyright.PENANA5clLWwIu4I
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAnZyAjCadpX
622Please respect copyright.PENANARIAz1zOgOP
I knew it. I had to say something quick to convince him.622Please respect copyright.PENANAo8TZkgZW37
622Please respect copyright.PENANAatiDdw9K6v
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAY8lL1LuKZe
622Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ2ZlkQ9Vd
"I believe you. But you know I'm not the only manager in this project of ours."622Please respect copyright.PENANAPy7JWz7yHq
622Please respect copyright.PENANAOSouRvWqBj
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANA0Gq2zThqyR
622Please respect copyright.PENANAzxLtqdku5x
"I don't have to talk to Yang Hyun-suk. He's right here with me. I put you on loud speaker."622Please respect copyright.PENANAEIfZ7BHovr
622Please respect copyright.PENANAjqXCJP842K
I swallowed as I stopped pacing and my heart did one huge beat that I felt my chest hurt.622Please respect copyright.PENANAHRmtXuLpNL
622Please respect copyright.PENANAvQcahxPnvz
"Oh..., good afternoon, Yang Hyun-suk sarangnim," I said quickly, so as not to seem surprised.622Please respect copyright.PENANAj4V4wH2il8
622Please respect copyright.PENANAtpMn26DqZQ
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAotLM6rMQvg
622Please respect copyright.PENANAg1GZyGq9Zp
"And what do you think?"622Please respect copyright.PENANA406IyWqvjy
622Please respect copyright.PENANAtIwQkiMNmc
"Well..., as much as the idea sounds tempting, I would actually refuse."622Please respect copyright.PENANApOtjxcgNQp
622Please respect copyright.PENANASLWyrDc4l4
My heart sank. I told myself it was worth a try anyway.622Please respect copyright.PENANA4D7ioPor30
622Please respect copyright.PENANAERAwtUGIBJ
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANASuTlUwlLb6
622Please respect copyright.PENANAzRnTPpAr9o
"Really!" I cried out in excitement. I can't believe he actually agreed.622Please respect copyright.PENANA6gU9sWhFRY
622Please respect copyright.PENANAIH4GVpkuIQ
"Let's not forget that we're the ones that have the final say. If it's good, then we will proceed."622Please respect copyright.PENANA7uNSmbJAMS
622Please respect copyright.PENANAMi71NScfDl
"Thank you!" I said with so much excitement. I could hear the two managers chuckle to themselves. "I promise you won't be disappointed."622Please respect copyright.PENANAS6xhxiWUxV
622Please respect copyright.PENANA9hKnwddGUp
"Make us proud, Sam," said Collins. "I hope you'll be able to come up with lyrics."622Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ2Nyz4sss
622Please respect copyright.PENANAMYin1IFP8I
"I will. Thank you once again."622Please respect copyright.PENANADKe6oHwIdd
622Please respect copyright.PENANArqtDaxyAc7
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAn6ucPL9Kw2
622Please respect copyright.PENANAMc5fSJ1xHr
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAOnY4ilo8tB
622Please respect copyright.PENANAetPn21rFS9
"What's the news?" Mike asked as he looked at me.622Please respect copyright.PENANAyIOa8PJs4T
622Please respect copyright.PENANAatfs03V0O6
"I hope it's good," said Himchan.622Please respect copyright.PENANActxI3k9lgS
622Please respect copyright.PENANAsnABP2XXTH
"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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAZNZ7FQo4uk
622Please respect copyright.PENANAL9D7Oq3YX5
"They agreed," I answered.622Please respect copyright.PENANAjm3fQ5e0nv
622Please respect copyright.PENANArXenrsurHE
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAv9kH1dcsLk
622Please respect copyright.PENANANtVIZi9cWg
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANACaJ22jhNXx
622Please respect copyright.PENANAvn0Se6OByY
"Ya, I'm also anxious to know what you're all talking about," said Daehyun.622Please respect copyright.PENANABwRLmJtvP1
622Please respect copyright.PENANAVbrjczeF75
"Me too," said Zoey. "What did I miss?"622Please respect copyright.PENANAaS4dupxQlZ
622Please respect copyright.PENANA6M8DCwwhv1
"A lot," I answered.622Please respect copyright.PENANA2zAsFlpgNp
622Please respect copyright.PENANAw3rPF6wiZ2
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANApiyThotxiD
622Please respect copyright.PENANA1prmRYhXdX
"Wow, that's awesome," said Zelo.622Please respect copyright.PENANAAI5HkWJaQ8
622Please respect copyright.PENANAhX1DWzlWMl
"You see how the managers just love you, Sam?" Mike asked.622Please respect copyright.PENANAcArcpr1bnX
622Please respect copyright.PENANAMmDc1DA9j9
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAt8QO4ZsGis
622Please respect copyright.PENANAJiD2pfCMCG
"But for them to agree its because they know Yong-guk is an awesome producer," said Himchan. "No doubt it will be lit."622Please respect copyright.PENANAwTYo1zUqbP
622Please respect copyright.PENANAtTAhNan2x5
"I agree with Himchan," said Zoey. "And besides, it's more of Sam's original, so they can't say no."622Please respect copyright.PENANAC7KeUpIUZT
622Please respect copyright.PENANAR90JvfedL3
"Okay, we just need to focus on the instrumental and hopefully come up with the lyrics," I said.622Please respect copyright.PENANA9Fhx8vewHi
622Please respect copyright.PENANAgTXqEpbGZl
"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."622Please respect copyright.PENANAFkZzc81W2r
622Please respect copyright.PENANAzD8JR6gE71
"Okay," I said as I rubbed my hands together. "Toxins, get over here by the console, please."622Please respect copyright.PENANAXe14geebiV
622Please respect copyright.PENANA0M94qFiMqH
"Okay," said Christine and Zoey as they both stood up from the couch and quickly came over.622Please respect copyright.PENANAnqeGZo69s9
622Please respect copyright.PENANAuBpOjyNNOp
"We will be here to help in anyway we can," said Young-jae.622Please respect copyright.PENANA0Bb3LWrmCQ
622Please respect copyright.PENANAAy8pBM3GWZ
"Thanks, guys," I said with a smile. I went over to sit back on my chair next to Yong-guk.622Please respect copyright.PENANAMQYBfBN3ns
622Please respect copyright.PENANAG1K78nA4LU
"Okay," said Yong-guk. "Let's continue where we ended, shall we?"
