"Okay, so here are the lyrics for the song," I said after writing them down.716Please respect copyright.PENANAmGmQ8L7Mw1
716Please respect copyright.PENANAMyqpaLZSEh
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAJpAb3i0Dcr
716Please respect copyright.PENANAwxQtyNAWcf
"Just admit it," said Zoey, "the song is awesome."716Please respect copyright.PENANAi0yKNeeTjh
716Please respect copyright.PENANAT8R8YyXZ8x
"Zoey." Christine gave her a look that told her to keep quiet. "Let the others take it in first."716Please respect copyright.PENANAntPIaMxIXG
716Please respect copyright.PENANAFBcTxnsNvJ
"Zoey's right," said Daehyun. "The lyrics are great."716Please respect copyright.PENANAoYIzuSGZGG
716Please respect copyright.PENANAAfLXnZl7RC
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAch23zIwUr8
716Please respect copyright.PENANAX2gU7OQLcC
"You should listen to the tune," said Mike. "You'll love it."716Please respect copyright.PENANASTkRIlwggS
716Please respect copyright.PENANAdeI97tWmJR
"I bet that's why you went searching for the guitar," said Jongup as he looked at me.716Please respect copyright.PENANAcObYgkAkpx
716Please respect copyright.PENANAuu8hVqpovA
"Play the guitar, Sam," Himchan insisted. "We're all dying to hear it. I bet Yong-guk can't wait any longer."716Please respect copyright.PENANAw5uSeESohg
716Please respect copyright.PENANAk2CWMOEOtZ
"Huh?" Yong-guk looked at Himchan beside him, looking confused. "No, I'm not."716Please respect copyright.PENANAoOj8ZSrMfZ
716Please respect copyright.PENANAKXamBVSslW
"Of course you are," said Yong-nam as he gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "Don't forget, I'm your twin."716Please respect copyright.PENANAELFuAaXKbY
716Please respect copyright.PENANAiCKtpA7Cqd
"Okay," I said as I took the guitar that had been laying on the table the whole time. "Let me play it, then."716Please respect copyright.PENANABMhxZeWIjD
716Please respect copyright.PENANAwiR7S17aYY
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANABOqR6RVL0U
716Please respect copyright.PENANA69NkixvgOH
"Wow," said Young-jae, looking at me like he's just seen something's dazzled him. "The song's going to sound awesome."716Please respect copyright.PENANAeQQRVMmDQX
716Please respect copyright.PENANAfrW4Z66VmV
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAjWE4lKD3r8
716Please respect copyright.PENANA6oT2Pvi6sx
"Alright," said Yong-guk, looking to see what I was writing on the paper. "Whatever it is, I bet we can handle it."716Please respect copyright.PENANAHyIPe0B8Uv
716Please respect copyright.PENANAiA1JNHY2Ic
"Can't wait to see you try," said Christine. "But then again, if it's you two l'm not worried."716Please respect copyright.PENANA0xQ0eB49Nr
716Please respect copyright.PENANAyQWhlPPb5m
"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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAntWXIkRij4
716Please respect copyright.PENANA6CfwnzSjTM
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANADVQ4kUOnVZ
716Please respect copyright.PENANAfck64smS9p
"Come on, Jongup," Zelo complained. "You're distracting Sam. We all want to hear what she has written."716Please respect copyright.PENANAmlNcOTYZVE
716Please respect copyright.PENANAaUMLftR7KD
"I don't think that I'm distracting her," said Jongup as he looked at Zelo. "Right, Sam?"716Please respect copyright.PENANArpWNHCdJBx
716Please respect copyright.PENANAFJ9wIatpoX
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAyuolNHagAq
716Please respect copyright.PENANAzYQ92C96DD
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANABsGSabc139
716Please respect copyright.PENANAsXIrRVbA1M
"What's wrong, Sam?" he asked.716Please respect copyright.PENANAupmVXWSXWZ
716Please respect copyright.PENANAUri08achwd
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAyrlJuli5A0
716Please respect copyright.PENANA20qFyPL34T
"Goodness, Jongup," said Mike, "you almost kissed my sister."716Please respect copyright.PENANApNcGmGOlxf
716Please respect copyright.PENANAAFo6LdP1FL
And it just had to be Mike. Goodness, me!716Please respect copyright.PENANAJS2BQ0m9mj
716Please respect copyright.PENANAtEwBvNkSGO
"Huh?" Jongup looked surprised. "I did?"716Please respect copyright.PENANADrI5ZBwaTJ
716Please respect copyright.PENANAuyW4ygAkVv
"And you were this close," said Zoey indicating a tiny space with her index finger and thumb.716Please respect copyright.PENANAenduq0fMMt
716Please respect copyright.PENANAiTiJweJYRr
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAcQgvQYO1MJ
716Please respect copyright.PENANApnNhvkHNo6
"You see, I told you so," said Zelo.716Please respect copyright.PENANAvBmZ7jOqUU
716Please respect copyright.PENANAT04OotKp6E
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANANC6QZLoxp7
716Please respect copyright.PENANAZFpJ5Dv6bZ
Yong-nam cleared his throat. "Not at all," he answered. "You're actually pretty light."716Please respect copyright.PENANA1SEXg5Wcw3
716Please respect copyright.PENANASwqd2y8AgE
I nervously laughed, not sure whether he meant it or not.716Please respect copyright.PENANAForGyJfMlN
716Please respect copyright.PENANAKbcL7rmj33
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANA8X7Vt96bL5
716Please respect copyright.PENANA0faSd1CVSz
"You're such a fantasist, Zoey," said Daniel as he shook his head.716Please respect copyright.PENANAaVDZe1GdUK
716Please respect copyright.PENANAeyGpd9EHqD
"Don't mind her," I said. "Can we forget the kissing incident and focus on the song, please?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAmyN48H9OpW
716Please respect copyright.PENANAz8QK52FB9O
"Sure," said Mike. "That's if we can reset Zoey's brain or else she won't stop talking about it."716Please respect copyright.PENANAgTF5LVDWu8
716Please respect copyright.PENANAxFYO32eDX5
"Are you saying that I'm kookoo?" Zoey asked, looking at Mike.716Please respect copyright.PENANADSGvgqdXHh
716Please respect copyright.PENANANUDYmJTBwv
"You can argue later, you two," I said, giving them a look. "Let's try and focus."716Please respect copyright.PENANAbcQSHXt1Qw
716Please respect copyright.PENANATvryV4A8ND
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAJbQtnQobnR
716Please respect copyright.PENANAdw6wjCLvYK
"Is it just me or something's just off?" Young-jae asked.716Please respect copyright.PENANA60UVl01Gvg
716Please respect copyright.PENANAPTLvH5jhVJ
"I think I feel what you mean," said Zoey as she scratched her head.716Please respect copyright.PENANAEEOtCZAN8g
716Please respect copyright.PENANAqtV15fQkqm
"Huh? What's Zoey saying?" Himchan asked.716Please respect copyright.PENANAlrU4C1G7Jf
716Please respect copyright.PENANAay76GOedq9
"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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAYXZHLwZ3GX
716Please respect copyright.PENANAhrOlj1XFN4
"I feel we aren't working like we did the first time," said Christine.716Please respect copyright.PENANAQquyf2Is1o
716Please respect copyright.PENANAuCMJHCWFeo
"Ya, that's what I meant," said Zoey.716Please respect copyright.PENANAm4zDSQ9vgs
716Please respect copyright.PENANAxT8QUA2AeO
"We just aren't coming up with the right lyrics," said Yong-guk, "that's all."716Please respect copyright.PENANAxiJSdnmQYd
716Please respect copyright.PENANAeLvgT8Duoy
"Why is that?" Himchan asked.716Please respect copyright.PENANAZtS7BpaN0f
716Please respect copyright.PENANAHZZzk2ja4G
"Who knows," said Daniel. "What do you think, Sam?"716Please respect copyright.PENANA0y3wPw0Pf0
716Please respect copyright.PENANAMhAYGnNqCx
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAF5HTQ6X2Ul
716Please respect copyright.PENANAa1dyH3x5RF
"You look like you're about to cry, Sam," said Jongup.716Please respect copyright.PENANAyvmbqtf7tI
716Please respect copyright.PENANAQEwxzt7oJx
"Don't mind me," I said. "I'm frustrated that we're going nowhere."716Please respect copyright.PENANAqnMd38RZCZ
716Please respect copyright.PENANAlWbaIXaeZF
"Maybe we're all just tired," said Zelo.716Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ab7RQfUNr
716Please respect copyright.PENANAaKPAm4er6q
"I felt we rested enough," said Daehyun.716Please respect copyright.PENANAbSvxMSxG7b
716Please respect copyright.PENANAWju9BYoAKC
"Or maybe we've been in the same place for too long," I suggested. "Sometimes the environment contributes greatly."716Please respect copyright.PENANAQLrHhdjYmA
716Please respect copyright.PENANAe3WFSDEQwk
"Maybe," said Yong-guk.716Please respect copyright.PENANA5p89XPAYp6
716Please respect copyright.PENANAStcsueYAW9
"What do you think, Yong-nam?" Christine asked as she turned to look at him.716Please respect copyright.PENANAgZIvoryjH4
716Please respect copyright.PENANAd3KoGSK1y0
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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAuoCGkOLzLk
716Please respect copyright.PENANA94X2zG3mBz
"Tomorrow?" Daniel looked shocked at the idea. "Won't that be a little too late for us?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAOn7Hh8Nl3C
716Please respect copyright.PENANA9e9fK7HqXe
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANA15A8D0EhKl
716Please respect copyright.PENANA4njElN2izV
"Not forgetting that we should at least have something to present to Yang Hyun-suk," said Zoey.716Please respect copyright.PENANAFijlSJNYZr
716Please respect copyright.PENANAfDCvmwcf7J
"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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAghuvF7LmNT
716Please respect copyright.PENANA3S5yNr2dww
"Now I wish we never had to make an album," said Zoey as she leaned back on the chair and sighed.716Please respect copyright.PENANA57iqtBemqR
716Please respect copyright.PENANAWzibRJwrkE
"Wow, you guys are working on an album?" Jongup asked.716Please respect copyright.PENANAGS5nAeRSDA
716Please respect copyright.PENANAi6zXDer8m2
"Yep," I answered as I lifted my face up from my hands. "Our managers are ambitious."716Please respect copyright.PENANAhFtGptOWF4
716Please respect copyright.PENANAtTju0W9dGd
"At least we don't have to worry about the other songs," said Zoey.716Please respect copyright.PENANAjfIpTm9Fif
716Please respect copyright.PENANAAKjOoNTjcc
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANA3accYJVo8K
716Please respect copyright.PENANA6AR0oMDt1D
"I think we should take a little break," said Yong-nam.716Please respect copyright.PENANA6QoFQwNGnX
716Please respect copyright.PENANAw5U2wW7qeu
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?716Please respect copyright.PENANAjEx5y5qzDK
716Please respect copyright.PENANA25V7eUuSa0
"You're scaring me, Sam," I heard Yong-guk say.716Please respect copyright.PENANAGLNZ76DGGj
716Please respect copyright.PENANAsFVUMRNYXt
"Oh, don't mind her," said Zoey. "She started this and finding a way to finish it is frustrating."716Please respect copyright.PENANAk23wHD2ERZ
716Please respect copyright.PENANARAwbSxGKg9
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAa9fMNEpnmv
716Please respect copyright.PENANAspzRkSBqLK
"Wait..., does this mean we won't have the reward Lee was talking about?" I heard Daniel ask.716Please respect copyright.PENANANeoKcEhKxi
716Please respect copyright.PENANAilGpJG2qGg
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANASTiWGF99jn
716Please respect copyright.PENANAuKgT4IbIQS
"Don't worry about that, Daniel," I said. "Lee will give us that reward."716Please respect copyright.PENANAJeY1gsQeAY
716Please respect copyright.PENANApUEZg4WVji
"For someone who seems tired, you sound pretty confident," said Himchan.716Please respect copyright.PENANAkoGwi6XkqZ
716Please respect copyright.PENANAzKNvp0h62C
"I just know." I smiled at him as I shrugged my shoulders.716Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z3Grgj28S
716Please respect copyright.PENANAy5T8j61sdN
"Do you've any idea what it could be?" Daniel asked.716Please respect copyright.PENANAeeRnjrBZt8
716Please respect copyright.PENANAwOqwcDctbv
I shook my head. It's best it turns out as a surprise.716Please respect copyright.PENANAzPf35Gs0OS
716Please respect copyright.PENANA4SEg9QGdwx
"So, what are we going to do now?" Zelo asked. "Just sit and do nothing?"716Please respect copyright.PENANA4QXPiQvFfW
716Please respect copyright.PENANAiNVnVGh0zG
"We can do something fun to pass the time," Christine suggested.716Please respect copyright.PENANAMb3QRJn2fV
716Please respect copyright.PENANAuUzBkDd0B1
"Not me," I went back to lying down on the floor.716Please respect copyright.PENANA6e2zH27LWr
716Please respect copyright.PENANAe74QJRtR01
No one said a word. I could feel a few eyes on me, while others, I'm guessing, gave each other looks.716Please respect copyright.PENANAuGBjDxRqej
716Please respect copyright.PENANALMkVJqKUkL
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "You're such a party pooper."716Please respect copyright.PENANA1tjIVdxXZM
716Please respect copyright.PENANAsOPsd8GcvW
"Haven't heard you call me that in a while," I said as I smiled at the ceiling.716Please respect copyright.PENANAhBTG9SjeiS
716Please respect copyright.PENANAduAeVRArhz
"Get up, will you? This is no time to be lying down."716Please respect copyright.PENANApI5xEN99kM
716Please respect copyright.PENANAsRYXmJvfi4
"There's nothing wrong with lying down to rest, is there?"716Please respect copyright.PENANA7DPfuG2amf
716Please respect copyright.PENANACLB377fR9N
"Goodness, me." Zoey sounded frustrated. She couldn't argue over that and she knew it.716Please respect copyright.PENANACEPTJoAij9
716Please respect copyright.PENANA0f11dMvu5j
"Maybe we should call Lee to pick us up," Mike suggested.716Please respect copyright.PENANAFyAoWAdjLU
716Please respect copyright.PENANAcmV6biLBps
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANANHxJmPJU9B
716Please respect copyright.PENANAaylyOQdZmh
I heard Zelo and Daehyun chuckle while I heard Christine and Zoey mutter out in frustration.716Please respect copyright.PENANAKFFhbmkXEf
716Please respect copyright.PENANA5rcs9Tthkd
"Looks like you're stuck here with us until Lee comes to pick you up," I heard Yong-guk say.716Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2I3ZSE85d
716Please respect copyright.PENANA5N96RJQsqm
"But we can't sit here doing nothing," said Daniel. "Like Christine said, we better find something to do."716Please respect copyright.PENANAo3mR13haq2
716Please respect copyright.PENANAKmhADntZPu
"You should be resting," I suggested, my eyes still closed.716Please respect copyright.PENANAnLIA4R98XO
716Please respect copyright.PENANAZtN0rnqlYg
"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.716Please respect copyright.PENANA1W106N2mi5
716Please respect copyright.PENANAjosOqtaBb7
I smiled. "Suit yourself."716Please respect copyright.PENANAgxF3wEjl2F
716Please respect copyright.PENANAh9zeydtNuS
"No one wants to do karaoke in the recording booth?" Jongup suggested.716Please respect copyright.PENANAJckZcxnJbQ
716Please respect copyright.PENANAONjYvtIRvy
"I think we've done enough singing for one day," said Daehyun.716Please respect copyright.PENANAD0PTplPN90
716Please respect copyright.PENANAspylg4e4L2
"I agree," said Zoey.716Please respect copyright.PENANA4yHiGzAfmF
716Please respect copyright.PENANABBsa1WsJ7H
"If there's clearly nothing to do, then I think we should be resting like Sam's doing right now," said Yong-guk.716Please respect copyright.PENANAamYR5DCrYK
716Please respect copyright.PENANAEfBOrj2ytT
"I like your thinking," I said with my eyes closed. I raised my hand to give him a thumbs up.716Please respect copyright.PENANAFXDF4Zburw
716Please respect copyright.PENANABGFgfWo1v3
"You songwriters all think the same," I heard Christine mutter.716Please respect copyright.PENANA2J6lyao7iN
716Please respect copyright.PENANAgH7xO91kPJ
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAgjX93WWnip
716Please respect copyright.PENANA9hH4gC7UAX
"Huh? Not you too, Mike," said Zoey, sounding surprised.716Please respect copyright.PENANAL4db9e974F
716Please respect copyright.PENANA7TZs1Lhpi5
"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?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAmvGb69LP1x
716Please respect copyright.PENANAYgYsfa1sbP
"I shouldn't be surprised coming from you."716Please respect copyright.PENANApKAE12Tyzw
716Please respect copyright.PENANAkeYtAWkCp2
"Ya, ya, ya, Zoey. I'm the bad guy here. Doesn't matter now, does it?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAxDzHJgayU5
716Please respect copyright.PENANAPp6dJwtDjp
"Well, if there's nothing for you guys to do at the moment, then I'm going to work on something," said Yong-guk.716Please respect copyright.PENANASP1fqAgISM
716Please respect copyright.PENANAiOfJdccwFj
"And what could that be?" Young-jae asked.716Please respect copyright.PENANAMBgRLdCagU
716Please respect copyright.PENANAfBAYoF3hil
"Our song, of course."716Please respect copyright.PENANAuiTg4GCRBO
716Please respect copyright.PENANA7ow9FPPDZl
"You go ahead and do that," I said.716Please respect copyright.PENANATk6nxZUvFs
716Please respect copyright.PENANA37YTlxVr9X
There came an awkward pause and I opened one eye to look at him.716Please respect copyright.PENANALXGADZYyiH
716Please respect copyright.PENANA80Zxwm660u
"You look surprised, Yong-guk," said Yong-nam. He took the words right out of my mouth.716Please respect copyright.PENANA0bpcbimL0e
716Please respect copyright.PENANAfHHXGtug82
"I thought that would get Sam up from the floor since she seems to really like helping out," said Yong-guk.716Please respect copyright.PENANABuQGg4hoO7
716Please respect copyright.PENANAvauWVoiLEv
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANA76RJSTTyOs
716Please respect copyright.PENANAG0RGdVIUFp
"Okay, then," said Yong-guk. "And you, Mike?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAyQmyz9W2QR
716Please respect copyright.PENANAECDaKp6dkR
"I'll pass too," said Mike.716Please respect copyright.PENANAAfk11YwxFd
716Please respect copyright.PENANAd2r3Z82uFc
"Okay. I'll be by the console. Any of you guys want to join me?"716Please respect copyright.PENANA7uQwoXnVWz
716Please respect copyright.PENANATP13Nh7azI
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAHxPsNwFkzO
716Please respect copyright.PENANA3zAojYTOOM
"I'm going to relax over here too," said Young-jae.716Please respect copyright.PENANAVlHF3s2DXL
716Please respect copyright.PENANAAeKB2eKTfk
"What's up with everyone?" Yong-guk asked, sounding surprised.716Please respect copyright.PENANAbCmKx2asit
716Please respect copyright.PENANA6IyvPr3eqj
"Like Yong-nam said, we're tired," I said as I sat up. "The best thing to do right now is relax."716Please respect copyright.PENANAk4IFTOgQma
716Please respect copyright.PENANAZftSft7y4l
"Aren't you worried about not making progress on your song?"716Please respect copyright.PENANA0cWVbqZpYZ
716Please respect copyright.PENANAfVf6Hik68A
"I was about to ask the same question," said Zoey with a sulky look on her face. 716Please respect copyright.PENANAt88Ojrloqd
716Please respect copyright.PENANA7TtXM2le0X
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."716Please respect copyright.PENANA8GgM56qywo
716Please respect copyright.PENANAhOkOEsprtn
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAi5s1P50NGZ
716Please respect copyright.PENANAlLHstdli5H
"You of all people shouldn't even be sleeping," said Yong-guk.716Please respect copyright.PENANApYQoGxGK5S
716Please respect copyright.PENANAtxNRmztAPR
I laughed. As much as I wanted to hear these two brothers argue, it ended there. I went back to sleeping on the floor.716Please respect copyright.PENANAOPKjScyMvb
716Please respect copyright.PENANAW5zgC2C02e
"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.716Please respect copyright.PENANA2hdOEyjwwt
716Please respect copyright.PENANAcQJLCUAD6B
"Looks like the majority wins," said Himchan as he chuckled.716Please respect copyright.PENANABfa5ywcMKH
716Please respect copyright.PENANACyt2Aw1wvW
Zoey mourned in frustration. Even I could tell she's tired. She had no choice but to give in.716Please respect copyright.PENANAbKCXuoRC9L
716Please respect copyright.PENANA7rxa76AI5N
"Oh, man!" Daniel muttered out loud.716Please respect copyright.PENANASxhUjyARDN
716Please respect copyright.PENANAnkPwjN2dZz
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAnQbvabaDxO
716Please respect copyright.PENANAdNswhjZ1as
"Sorry, guys," he said. He quickly looked up from his phone when he noticed people's eyes on him. "Playing a game over here."716Please respect copyright.PENANAsEGdEOtZjJ
716Please respect copyright.PENANAfnkEuBm4qU
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAnXgyjQAIS3
716Please respect copyright.PENANA9Sc3wKI75U
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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAUpKyDIKYRv
716Please respect copyright.PENANA3jOUk18pqZ
"I think I'll have a little shut-eye," said Christine.716Please respect copyright.PENANAIV5hyoBxIz
716Please respect copyright.PENANAoiBzJquV7J
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANA0ArTN8tBMd
716Please respect copyright.PENANADSrILhe5ag
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAbWYMCnZeUa
716Please respect copyright.PENANAekpUSBx6Ky
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANA5g7SyYAVSs
716Please respect copyright.PENANAoZbDx4p6Hh
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAE0pI3VHRVJ
716Please respect copyright.PENANAQe8ajrelWW
"Hey, Sam?" I heard Jongup call me. "Are you asleep?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAM8QKiFksgA
716Please respect copyright.PENANAIdktylBrKX
"No," I answered. I drew my eyes open and looked at him. "What is it?"716Please respect copyright.PENANA8UStJE0lxO
716Please respect copyright.PENANAXwbwjPUM7Y
"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.716Please respect copyright.PENANACTr9rZnJs5
716Please respect copyright.PENANAwPI1YEviDg
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAdnI3mAMkAq
716Please respect copyright.PENANAWvQWRm3Pic
"I know," said Jongup. "You should see this previous one. It will knock your socks off."716Please respect copyright.PENANA3ufZqIDAKt
716Please respect copyright.PENANAsuSVhULptt
I joined Jongup in watching more cat videos. We soon moved on to watch people participate in various dance challenges.716Please respect copyright.PENANAsLkB2P0hNB
716Please respect copyright.PENANAxKQrI1EWAO
"We should've a dance challenge one day," I said to Jongup as we watched.716Please respect copyright.PENANASfPymQBjab
716Please respect copyright.PENANAvVJ9dfbRk8
"Huh?" he turned to look at me. "We should've a dance challenge?"716Please respect copyright.PENANA9uFhR4LiU2
716Please respect copyright.PENANAB2MPAQiqog
"Ya. I mean The Toxins vs BAP."716Please respect copyright.PENANAS3WmPPjvIp
716Please respect copyright.PENANAR8c0OFbA8N
"Oh..., like the one you had with Monsta X?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAdcl26CzGYx
716Please respect copyright.PENANAP1hxpI4Plg
"Yes, like that one. You watched it?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5ia8i35nn
716Please respect copyright.PENANAIT0M1rO8b2
"I think a lot of us did. People really liked it."716Please respect copyright.PENANAAqAe6RkpVl
716Please respect copyright.PENANAN5HWb4jPoF
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAO9uXmv5Duk
716Please respect copyright.PENANAOKM3R0eCC9
"Oh, you've an album to work on."716Please respect copyright.PENANAlny2jzVqO1
716Please respect copyright.PENANAj2yxYCZD8t
I stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Just thinking about it drains me." I went back to looking at his phone.716Please respect copyright.PENANAwd8dtpLLyQ
716Please respect copyright.PENANArl3mCcnnOu
"Did I hear someone talk about having a dance challenge with BAP?" Zoey asked.716Please respect copyright.PENANAhFQlHIsdvI
716Please respect copyright.PENANAg45AV82ZUD
I raised my head a little and saw Zoey still on her phone.716Please respect copyright.PENANA81tsQQX6T0
716Please respect copyright.PENANATaRnULLfLr
"Yes, I said that," I said as I dropped my head and stared at Jongup's phone.716Please respect copyright.PENANA9GUxlhavi4
716Please respect copyright.PENANAc5NfbEYbZg
"Why not do so now?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAWuTYGD38hz
716Please respect copyright.PENANANSFlAsvEip
"No!" Christine, Mike and I said out loud at the same time.716Please respect copyright.PENANA8f8KZzMDO3
716Please respect copyright.PENANA93oXe8T2ol
"Eish, guys. It's why I asked. You don't have to eat me alive."716Please respect copyright.PENANATqWi84cpDr
716Please respect copyright.PENANAFjKQeRtujH
Himchan and the other BAP members around the table started to chuckle.716Please respect copyright.PENANA93zhqleQJP
716Please respect copyright.PENANANbq167keQm
"You Toxins really are something," said Himchan. "You do know that the majority of you opposed, right?"716Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZAMxKYOhu
716Please respect copyright.PENANApJ0e36QTRv
"Except Daniel," said Zelo.716Please respect copyright.PENANABK6VjzcFGW
716Please respect copyright.PENANAdo24YXzc7x
"Oh, I refuse too," said Daniel, still on his phone.716Please respect copyright.PENANAidS5acE1mx
716Please respect copyright.PENANAxqKMgUGenf
Zoey tsked. "You guys are no fun."716Please respect copyright.PENANAr9izzGOb12
716Please respect copyright.PENANALMdxmtTF5S
"Use logic, Zoey," said Christine. "We're all tired and don't have the energy for a dance challenge."716Please respect copyright.PENANAXi1CiEhpL4
716Please respect copyright.PENANA7e0hqaZvju
"I know that. I thought maybe someone's in the mood for it."716Please respect copyright.PENANAv4OcnVogvx
716Please respect copyright.PENANAX8EsDcHWq4
"No one is in the mood for it," said Mike.716Please respect copyright.PENANAokUwu0LG89
716Please respect copyright.PENANAvCXrx13NJv
"And what if the BAP members were?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAm1dOEOW1CB
716Please respect copyright.PENANAkKXtJH34Xa
I heard Daehyun nervously chuckle. "To be honest, Zoey," he said, "I'm definitely not in the mood."716Please respect copyright.PENANAisA15NOM3T
716Please respect copyright.PENANAREW2RWqlj4
"Me too," said Young-jae.716Please respect copyright.PENANAyeNlXrph1P
716Please respect copyright.PENANAfBpZLH0Y06
"Me three," said Zelo.716Please respect copyright.PENANA0jVBve48E4
716Please respect copyright.PENANAUqzJQDXSjC
"Guess I don't have to ask you, Himchan," said Zoey, sounding unimpressed.716Please respect copyright.PENANAH0yCi2TDA3
716Please respect copyright.PENANADNmOgipmYV
Himchan, just like Daehyun, nervously chuckled too.716Please respect copyright.PENANAyxcXhe6hOe
716Please respect copyright.PENANA6W5OTCwkDY
"You can ask Yong-guk," Zelo suggested.716Please respect copyright.PENANAA3I0oHSYOy
716Please respect copyright.PENANAGROiHccvrY
"Nah. He's already busy and I don't like to be a bother."716Please respect copyright.PENANALuz7wX5TZt
716Please respect copyright.PENANAB4en2lJGtf
"Really?" Mike asked. Uh-oh. I smell an argument brewing. "You bother a lot of us everyday."716Please respect copyright.PENANAGJxYCLa5DD
716Please respect copyright.PENANA36fq6akUay
"What did you say!?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAt7Wxmalxzk
716Please respect copyright.PENANA7GQOsVxP2K
"Quiet down, Zoey," said Christine. "You're disturbing Yong-nam. He's probably asleep."716Please respect copyright.PENANAVIlVQ5JJlz
716Please respect copyright.PENANAPNGsjbKMNS
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANA81qCWLqAqP
716Please respect copyright.PENANA7f9X9KLsUV
"I bet he isn't," said Zoey. "Is he, Sam?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAqdbI0j3c2e
716Please respect copyright.PENANAOdh6r9Z38u
"Huh?" I got a little caught off guard as I didn't answer Zoey's question.716Please respect copyright.PENANAqouURrcqw6
716Please respect copyright.PENANAqayKMqqOvs
"Is he awake?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAhvDOvWhNs8
716Please respect copyright.PENANA3kjcCfRuEt
"Not sure," I answered. "He would've said something if he was."716Please respect copyright.PENANAZMQsJz0aLy
716Please respect copyright.PENANAegpJAFIlQG
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAVYiDvP8xtc
716Please respect copyright.PENANA6WAnOeQep1
"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.716Please respect copyright.PENANA9EceSIP4AK
716Please respect copyright.PENANAqIubeVnq0M
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "It's what you said, Mike. How am I a bother to you?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAdCzexCeo0m
716Please respect copyright.PENANASjTcSrvmFE
"You're being a bother right now. I'm trying to rest and you're disturbing me."716Please respect copyright.PENANA60hKk30yBU
716Please respect copyright.PENANAN9QFlTS7Yu
Zoey hissed that I thought a snake had magically appeared in the room. If she was one, no doubt she would attack Mike first.716Please respect copyright.PENANAsLuRN09fLG
716Please respect copyright.PENANAZMKMhqodgd
"Enough," said Christine. "No one wants to see or hear you two fight."716Please respect copyright.PENANAaCVH36Ya03
716Please respect copyright.PENANAlqBTC6fCL0
"Mike started it," said Zoey.716Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ0Xx40IMH
716Please respect copyright.PENANACH5LzPFUAc
"You amplified it," said Mike. "You always do."716Please respect copyright.PENANAaYS1CQCDa9
716Please respect copyright.PENANAHg8bwcvPyA
"For once I agree with Mike," I said. "Let it go, Zoey."716Please respect copyright.PENANABzkL0n4EwY
716Please respect copyright.PENANASyojg4rxRb
"You guys are unbelievable," said Zoey.716Please respect copyright.PENANAE2vm2bvl16
716Please respect copyright.PENANAgDh3FoPY3y
"You're unbelievable," said Himchan as he chuckled. "You really are a drama queen. No offense."716Please respect copyright.PENANAIit2kSWmsS
716Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4cP3Y7UYp
"None taken. These guys call me that all the time."716Please respect copyright.PENANAg68gcLaoKZ
716Please respect copyright.PENANAOGnLxQ6fjZ
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAFTBHlMZlvV
716Please respect copyright.PENANAfW29zCy2v4
I stretched out my arms and stood up, stretching my whole body.716Please respect copyright.PENANAcXESfdBiy6
716Please respect copyright.PENANA78bYM6xLl0
"I've had enough of watching Instagram videos," I told Jongup.716Please respect copyright.PENANArHIDiBDfVW
716Please respect copyright.PENANAmTiAk4hXJR
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANA8dtNZMKPID
716Please respect copyright.PENANASn1el0Lbve
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAewRL1m4qva
716Please respect copyright.PENANAch0phXx2OU
"Hey, there," I said to him when I got behind him. I bent over to look at him from the side of his face.716Please respect copyright.PENANAAlyEyx3EoT
716Please respect copyright.PENANA1jfLczuOSO
"Oh, Sam," he looked up at me, surprised. "I didn't hear you coming."716Please respect copyright.PENANAAzqyrvLcei
716Please respect copyright.PENANAtbNxzHCcYK
"I've cat feet," I said as I took the empty seat next to him.716Please respect copyright.PENANALwS3yCqJ9o
716Please respect copyright.PENANAqCq0yLQ2v0
"Cat feet?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAMT6UJ6wdn8
716Please respect copyright.PENANAygXRvfg2AS
"I'm told there are times when people don't hear me coming so they say I've cat feet. I sometimes scare them."716Please respect copyright.PENANAMR47WoP8DU
716Please respect copyright.PENANAQJR20IPCn4
"Oh, I see."716Please respect copyright.PENANAHkjyqa4jHS
716Please respect copyright.PENANA6nWIvvrjZR
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAEya6cIgnwd
716Please respect copyright.PENANAIumOmaK895
"I'll keep that in mind," said Yong-guk as he turned to smile at her.716Please respect copyright.PENANAcvRidqlGlE
716Please respect copyright.PENANACIPPnrdAFB
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAgxmSfbn3R3
716Please respect copyright.PENANAtLXNSE3JL4
"I'm not working on our song," said Yong-guk as he went to work on the laptop.716Please respect copyright.PENANA9VWBJkPMkt
716Please respect copyright.PENANA7orcpfBhDL
"Then, what are you working on?" I raised my eyebrow at him.716Please respect copyright.PENANAlc3BKthkJB
716Please respect copyright.PENANAwIcPCMgj3Q
"On your song," he answered.716Please respect copyright.PENANAgFzHaZCXVV
716Please respect copyright.PENANAO18zIVON8s
"Huh?"716Please respect copyright.PENANALmwbKTdo52
716Please respect copyright.PENANAfQlpFTkMZ3
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANABrN0J6tLwU
716Please respect copyright.PENANAuafIX9YzBr
"Wow." I'm surprised. I didn't think Yong-guk would go this far. I didn't even know what to say.716Please respect copyright.PENANA1SxFZkaYEy
716Please respect copyright.PENANAIaLu0qAaNk
"Hey, are you okay, Sam?" Yong-guk asked.716Please respect copyright.PENANAEKFWXWF3eW
716Please respect copyright.PENANAz0wZkcEbBP
I quickly turned to look at him. "Huh?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAfpF1ID4l3n
716Please respect copyright.PENANAXB3xv1eOY5
"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?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAPfeszj8mrM
716Please respect copyright.PENANA9toOKYN5Ze
I smiled at him. He really means it. There aren't many people in the world who are so thoughtful.716Please respect copyright.PENANAJY5k2o6x4c
716Please respect copyright.PENANADEDk6jFETq
"I know what you mean. And no. I think there's no better person to work on it than you, Yong-guk."716Please respect copyright.PENANAdtc9Cugall
716Please respect copyright.PENANAfnDhG4tck2
"Really?" He looked a little surprised with what I said.716Please respect copyright.PENANAvofTJVSTVr
716Please respect copyright.PENANAG1XtwXTbhZ
"Of course! Who would've thought we would've you helping us? It's actually really nice of you."716Please respect copyright.PENANAdXkR86luoI
716Please respect copyright.PENANAdVkrWxYUou
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANA22LjQTAm2x
716Please respect copyright.PENANAO1PKEMIJEn
"May I hear what you've done so far?" I asked.716Please respect copyright.PENANAePGHfMtDX5
716Please respect copyright.PENANAYx0AYZEqyx
"Ah..., sure," he said as he brought over the laptop closer.716Please respect copyright.PENANAocBEDWZS6k
716Please respect copyright.PENANANx0qpEqmp9
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAhz0mnFM6R6
716Please respect copyright.PENANArKRdoQgqD8
"Amazing," I looked at him with so much awe. "It's no wonder you're such a great producer."716Please respect copyright.PENANAIts79YPbVu
716Please respect copyright.PENANAB917Gc3Qae
He chuckled. "Coming from you, that means a lot."716Please respect copyright.PENANAurz7aV6OeS
716Please respect copyright.PENANAWxj5i8XXL2
"The others should hear this." My ear twitched. "I know you're there, Mike."716Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ig4OZiiyh
716Please respect copyright.PENANA0DVEZjLQYR
"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?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAwNQzdRoOge
716Please respect copyright.PENANAJTab6UIqjO
"Because what you've ain't cat feet," I smirked at him. "You've to work a lot harder than that."716Please respect copyright.PENANAHGijlh9fhn
716Please respect copyright.PENANAicWv61S1pt
"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?"716Please respect copyright.PENANABTpwAPNg7I
716Please respect copyright.PENANAGcJv1LWrI5
"This," I said as I pressed the play button on the laptop, playing out the instrumental for him.716Please respect copyright.PENANAK4QVjCwptz
716Please respect copyright.PENANAV3F7vVElyf
"Wow," muttered Mike. "But wait..., why does this beat sound familiar?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAEA7HUhGvHG
716Please respect copyright.PENANARxMMWX8AvT
"It's because it's the beat to our song, silly," I said to him.716Please respect copyright.PENANAwJ1CwiCVhU
716Please respect copyright.PENANARNqW1dKOzz
"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?"716Please respect copyright.PENANASf1kJN3ZlH
716Please respect copyright.PENANAaWH7SPW5QG
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAFXxQ9AWIDe
716Please respect copyright.PENANAfqpnJ8FmfL
"You're amazing," he said as he patted Yong-guk on the shoulder. "This song will be awesome."716Please respect copyright.PENANAM3OTmblKSU
716Please respect copyright.PENANAs1jWrKX3GC
"Thanks," he said. "You should be thanking your sister, though."716Please respect copyright.PENANAqNZgmxdnf0
716Please respect copyright.PENANA8JTU5HEkJd
"Huh?" Mike and I looked pluzzled.716Please respect copyright.PENANAzZPTfx8z8G
716Please respect copyright.PENANASSmVP92U1r
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ4m7PmFHa
716Please respect copyright.PENANAr09OskouUw
"Oh...," I forgot he said that. Now it's my turn to blush, and Yong-guk smiled.716Please respect copyright.PENANA14I9vzT9dC
716Please respect copyright.PENANAvOLwXWvytS
"Ya, my sister is a genius," said Mike. "May I join you?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAxQUNMOZNKP
716Please respect copyright.PENANAxBdaadOls3
"Sure," said Yong-guk. "With you two here, I bet we can work on it together."716Please respect copyright.PENANA8RyNDMaptO
716Please respect copyright.PENANAI06b8fHZUb
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAA1guk4ywSV
716Please respect copyright.PENANATBK9zEOUpT
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAzkSKbWLa8v
716Please respect copyright.PENANAnzHWi1mPLw
"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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAiMnpLXeRIV
716Please respect copyright.PENANAGS9JYMB7fh
"Alright, let's start," said Yong-guk.716Please respect copyright.PENANAdgJ275DHna
716Please respect copyright.PENANAtbXMpEgo1C
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANA5FbTyZhnPc
716Please respect copyright.PENANAnjWNMLj068
"Hey, what's going on here?" Himchan asked as he came to join us.716Please respect copyright.PENANA5uL7sEVtCe
716Please respect copyright.PENANAZmVei9hLsD
"We're working on an instrumental," Mike answered.716Please respect copyright.PENANAVyF0coeVey
716Please respect copyright.PENANAAgfEj1GOJ8
"Which one?"716Please respect copyright.PENANActtkyEkVY8
716Please respect copyright.PENANANCwqilhrA0
"For our song," I answered. "You should hear it, it's really good."716Please respect copyright.PENANAQtRzsff4Bo
716Please respect copyright.PENANAzmPOIi687z
"Oh, I thought you had run out of ideas for the lyrics."716Please respect copyright.PENANAhw9lFdaffz
716Please respect copyright.PENANATPSWLjD5X4
"Well, I did. Maybe if I continue working on the instrumental, I might come up with them."716Please respect copyright.PENANAB73zzUkYhl
716Please respect copyright.PENANAlqhfI8VxRH
"How far have you gone doing so?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAbCpCrGoBdI
716Please respect copyright.PENANA2lva0pM0P1
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAEHdS1vza6m
716Please respect copyright.PENANAh2CUzx8lYJ
"I agree," said Mike.716Please respect copyright.PENANAi2ZIJlB2JY
716Please respect copyright.PENANAXfSlIhh4fJ
"And you're going to use this instrumental for your album?" Himchan asked.716Please respect copyright.PENANAPtywzszYez
716Please respect copyright.PENANArHVcY2mbOK
"Of course we're," I answered, looking back at him. I now understood why he asked and I winced.716Please respect copyright.PENANA4Se0McHDyt
716Please respect copyright.PENANABVpr4jSmER
"What is it, Sam?" Mike asked.716Please respect copyright.PENANAvpRWCMTVdJ
716Please respect copyright.PENANARmIVV1x4Eq
"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?"716Please respect copyright.PENANA3TnEyAeIyl
716Please respect copyright.PENANAZEedOp22lB
"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?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAfYWYnAdGRc
716Please respect copyright.PENANAhp9SIZkh1h
"Collins may agree. But what about Yang Hyun-suk?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAbVX0MFBsTW
716Please respect copyright.PENANAMcJSEio9D7
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAnb64imrMGS
716Please respect copyright.PENANABZOBnla5VP
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAvCvLvchVL1
716Please respect copyright.PENANAzXyD1DEazZ
"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?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAEA9xFneOvD
716Please respect copyright.PENANAtDVlH6V48I
"This is your tune and melody, Sam. So, he can't refuse. I mean, the song we did with BigBang was all you too."716Please respect copyright.PENANAEAsEdHuTOM
716Please respect copyright.PENANAMkKcLiQiyb
"It was?" Yong-guk and Himchan asked at the same time.716Please respect copyright.PENANA7Dcz9gKlLw
716Please respect copyright.PENANAYV1oHLWfZf
"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?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAQOMO3rVbWx
716Please respect copyright.PENANAdypFJS1e5r
"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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAyFhqKykTza
716Please respect copyright.PENANA1rt0DTlolL
"Does this thing involving me always have to be highlighted?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAXvCzlo3o1u
716Please respect copyright.PENANAbPunX7JHi9
"Daa, yes! Out of all of us, Yang Hyun-suk approves of you the most. He'll definitely go through with it."716Please respect copyright.PENANA4qp4TWB1tb
716Please respect copyright.PENANAV8wWGJ2743
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAFpZWMgUI4B
716Please respect copyright.PENANASATHl3ZeAB
"Okay, if that's the case, than what of Yong-guk? Will he really help us through till the end?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAt6UWQZfvMl
716Please respect copyright.PENANAX9UEG141vB
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAOBctc5ilQJ
716Please respect copyright.PENANAcneByzwKix
"I'm right here, you guys," said Yong-guk in between Mike and me. "I can clearly hear you."716Please respect copyright.PENANARFnAE1RGYz
716Please respect copyright.PENANAxjKZD8oc88
Mike and I turned to look at him, then ignored him like he wasn't there. Himchan chuckled.716Please respect copyright.PENANAT54na26tWe
716Please respect copyright.PENANAxn1TbQS9LW
"You're right," I said. "He'll stay till the end. He's such a good friend for helping us out."716Please respect copyright.PENANArDySlPxxgP
716Please respect copyright.PENANAVLOY79QMnJ
"I know right," Mike smiled. "He's awesome."716Please respect copyright.PENANAIX6qR7m6NM
716Please respect copyright.PENANA2dGqca1ifM
"I think you better focus on giving Collins a call, Sam," said Yong-guk, trying to sound serious, yet falling to do so.716Please respect copyright.PENANAFs2gBtUVti
716Please respect copyright.PENANAP7uakw1nvv
"Aww," Himchan complained. "Their conversation was just about to get more interesting."716Please respect copyright.PENANAs9Lp5LDJHp
716Please respect copyright.PENANAwuYk7AHCO5
I laughed. "He's just trying to hide the fact that he's blushing."716Please respect copyright.PENANA1UeyVDkbLV
716Please respect copyright.PENANA1RjNXxhbVM
"No, I'm not," said Yong-guk as he folded his arms and looked straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.716Please respect copyright.PENANAn8kfVOQ27F
716Please respect copyright.PENANANZgYsKCBgp
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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAFaGweUhubl
716Please respect copyright.PENANAW55LoSTKEC
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAELN1oYfI6l
716Please respect copyright.PENANAMTTGJ3haQH
"I'll be back," I said as I tried to stop laughing. "You better not have that face when I get back, Yong-guk."716Please respect copyright.PENANA3EyxZnSugf
716Please respect copyright.PENANAcZvwGm5ox3
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANALCMRwqaQKv
716Please respect copyright.PENANAvys42TsLYU
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAHvzPZJdltU
716Please respect copyright.PENANAeqQvfqJP2v
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANADfZFiGiqrz
716Please respect copyright.PENANAKEnsRj3HDn
Just when I'm about to cut the call, he picked up at the last minute.716Please respect copyright.PENANAvH8SKqGNjy
716Please respect copyright.PENANAx5qC4NC5CT
"Hi, Sam," came his voice. "How's song writing going?"716Please respect copyright.PENANACkJovvRSS6
716Please respect copyright.PENANAqCS01jSvPC
"Not good, I'm afraid," I said as I scratched the back of my head wondering how to bring up the instrumental thing.716Please respect copyright.PENANAGMTprhlYPZ
716Please respect copyright.PENANAgCpntPCxJw
"You'll figure it out. You do have extra help, don't you?"716Please respect copyright.PENANApm358DMuaU
716Please respect copyright.PENANATqohG3O1K9
"I see Lee told you about BAP."716Please respect copyright.PENANAsLjloaGKeb
716Please respect copyright.PENANAEtJjZQ7GNT
"Well, she had to. So what can I do for you?"716Please respect copyright.PENANA6KuRNBOjMf
716Please respect copyright.PENANApGhZc9y8F4
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAKEbheb1DdJ
716Please respect copyright.PENANAcj8hdiZPV0
"You're already coming up with that?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAecwAR3HbGf
716Please respect copyright.PENANAvP3IsYLqo7
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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAN4otTgJnfd
716Please respect copyright.PENANAk8NRyEntAe
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAszVNCn7nus
716Please respect copyright.PENANAGCpsil92fU
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAdS33vcESJ8
716Please respect copyright.PENANANaYo6CHAo9
I knew it. I had to say something quick to convince him.716Please respect copyright.PENANAKQ5WJnEWvv
716Please respect copyright.PENANASznhLtWBMp
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAhDMhYdV0a7
716Please respect copyright.PENANAGqRieglCTV
"I believe you. But you know I'm not the only manager in this project of ours."716Please respect copyright.PENANATQPXMXEoBx
716Please respect copyright.PENANAuvo2OtrlVE
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAtNjhtByS47
716Please respect copyright.PENANA0paLMydK6D
"I don't have to talk to Yang Hyun-suk. He's right here with me. I put you on loud speaker."716Please respect copyright.PENANADXpBfCixsS
716Please respect copyright.PENANAG0rM4zJ9Bt
I swallowed as I stopped pacing and my heart did one huge beat that I felt my chest hurt.716Please respect copyright.PENANATTmSD16hXl
716Please respect copyright.PENANAp4cXL0QQxb
"Oh..., good afternoon, Yang Hyun-suk sarangnim," I said quickly, so as not to seem surprised.716Please respect copyright.PENANAlpTPCkgm7R
716Please respect copyright.PENANAQyg5WYmCog
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAhu1JGhXvTZ
716Please respect copyright.PENANAwTXeUzKNcm
"And what do you think?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAOeivlmvIfE
716Please respect copyright.PENANAkA3vA4ZQi5
"Well..., as much as the idea sounds tempting, I would actually refuse."716Please respect copyright.PENANAGeCkJX9mcv
716Please respect copyright.PENANA8wSzHdFKhF
My heart sank. I told myself it was worth a try anyway.716Please respect copyright.PENANAy2DtXs9oxG
716Please respect copyright.PENANAUe4DLWOWTl
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAhi93qCvJwW
716Please respect copyright.PENANApMpm6Y23iO
"Really!" I cried out in excitement. I can't believe he actually agreed.716Please respect copyright.PENANABX1G7GR0uA
716Please respect copyright.PENANA8uq2CuJYmo
"Let's not forget that we're the ones that have the final say. If it's good, then we will proceed."716Please respect copyright.PENANAJZwq96VVG2
716Please respect copyright.PENANA4RgJQJEjBB
"Thank you!" I said with so much excitement. I could hear the two managers chuckle to themselves. "I promise you won't be disappointed."716Please respect copyright.PENANA163gmgKgLx
716Please respect copyright.PENANAxpkmuTAND1
"Make us proud, Sam," said Collins. "I hope you'll be able to come up with lyrics."716Please respect copyright.PENANAipgGQLtL0e
716Please respect copyright.PENANAxP0rIbjrUZ
"I will. Thank you once again."716Please respect copyright.PENANAuP38G0F8em
716Please respect copyright.PENANA6Kx0aIGGDV
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAB6SfJBF5SA
716Please respect copyright.PENANAQYnQAIOZrU
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAAksLnxPDK6
716Please respect copyright.PENANAy2kCriIEwD
"What's the news?" Mike asked as he looked at me.716Please respect copyright.PENANA5KrAqDhnqs
716Please respect copyright.PENANAVA0xv2oKbo
"I hope it's good," said Himchan.716Please respect copyright.PENANAlGGSeqdRHW
716Please respect copyright.PENANAS7vzJPGIBI
"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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAKloydyt0nT
716Please respect copyright.PENANAkj5wVdunLU
"They agreed," I answered.716Please respect copyright.PENANAZhCzrH6xM5
716Please respect copyright.PENANAuDQLVRbZMo
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANARVKnADf4I9
716Please respect copyright.PENANAC37eK1iVxn
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANA38KOsypXWg
716Please respect copyright.PENANA2QyLNMvZfR
"Ya, I'm also anxious to know what you're all talking about," said Daehyun.716Please respect copyright.PENANAlzfClB0NMT
716Please respect copyright.PENANAbbwHINt9kD
"Me too," said Zoey. "What did I miss?"716Please respect copyright.PENANAroAhJmK4WJ
716Please respect copyright.PENANAcycEjqSQLw
"A lot," I answered.716Please respect copyright.PENANAQiJ9DPWzCH
716Please respect copyright.PENANADeVjpW3pBU
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.716Please respect copyright.PENANAERNGWRAQMn
716Please respect copyright.PENANAG1T4maHz4Q
"Wow, that's awesome," said Zelo.716Please respect copyright.PENANAz5W17tyfcZ
716Please respect copyright.PENANA3jnwmLGEuq
"You see how the managers just love you, Sam?" Mike asked.716Please respect copyright.PENANAQvIoPDrp3O
716Please respect copyright.PENANAgSgdEysWhH
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANAxJrkZn6zk3
716Please respect copyright.PENANAnDRzIDqjuV
"But for them to agree its because they know Yong-guk is an awesome producer," said Himchan. "No doubt it will be lit."716Please respect copyright.PENANALcMGdOny2G
716Please respect copyright.PENANAlFWYs2k23Z
"I agree with Himchan," said Zoey. "And besides, it's more of Sam's original, so they can't say no."716Please respect copyright.PENANA5zEBQ0N1Pn
716Please respect copyright.PENANAxEgYc50aFW
"Okay, we just need to focus on the instrumental and hopefully come up with the lyrics," I said.716Please respect copyright.PENANAsowummspH8
716Please respect copyright.PENANAWTk7zEXt0W
"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."716Please respect copyright.PENANACKQLECNATa
716Please respect copyright.PENANArEiaYpHT2j
"Okay," I said as I rubbed my hands together. "Toxins, get over here by the console, please."716Please respect copyright.PENANAKwlza0VmIU
716Please respect copyright.PENANAwGT65bt5ur
"Okay," said Christine and Zoey as they both stood up from the couch and quickly came over.716Please respect copyright.PENANAIgAS0WcH8j
716Please respect copyright.PENANAK0JNrLDFV9
"We will be here to help in anyway we can," said Young-jae.716Please respect copyright.PENANAm0IEKdLoXO
716Please respect copyright.PENANAGtPXNYcBAa
"Thanks, guys," I said with a smile. I went over to sit back on my chair next to Yong-guk.716Please respect copyright.PENANAqkY5o1uGyc
716Please respect copyright.PENANAL5bEmJmUU3
"Okay," said Yong-guk. "Let's continue where we ended, shall we?"
