We had all gathered around the console with the producer, Yang Hyun-suk, Collins and Lee taking their seats while we stood around. The producer got the instrumental from Bang Yong-guk which he put in a flashdrive.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjykW6bwHp

645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSZu3WEiuu
As much as I didn't feel nervous like I did before, I still found myself playing with my fingers that I hid behind me. I felt Yong-guk nudge me on the shoulder with his as he stood next to me. I turned to look at him. His smile told me to remain calm and that everything's going to be fine. I smile back, assuring him that I'm okay.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAifGPOBdQw

645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwnsjVqw6Z
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7QrpgH8Es
We watched the producer insert the drive in the USB port of his laptop right next to the console.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l8XTXTTPo

645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL6IfeYMVB
I realise that the place is quiet, and I can feel the tension amongst ourselves. I looked at the other Toxins, and I can tell they're nervous. I wish I could tell them that all is well, but I would only be repeating what they said earlier. Let’s just see how all this goes.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb2G5acGov
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6BJ9kj0WK
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHKS9rynCa
Soon enough, the tune came flowing through the speaker after the producer hit the play button on his laptop, then came along the beat and other sound effects. I had my fingers crossed for the few seconds that passed. I just hope they like it.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLFlL0WHBk

645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z9zyFC7fA

645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIXTmUpPYm
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ430fqrJvWe
The producer did likewise and all our eyes turned to Yang Hyun-suk. I could sense nervous tension in the air as we all looked at him. Could there be something wrong? We only just started.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKybPA5gSDt
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgsJyGcoL0
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAP7ToGG29
There came a long pause as his eyes were fixed on the see-through glass of the recording booth. I can tell he’s thinking of something, but what could it be? Maybe, he doesn’t like the song. Could it be that bad? For him to stop it so soon, anyone could assume the worst.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVefWTiyKY
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs4BKPj4gz
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ955246Iku6
"May I see the lyrics?" he asked as he turned around to look at us. His eyes fell specifically on me, though.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI6gfyXO6T

645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWqjDZPe8h
"Of course," I said as I quickly rushed back to where we sat. I left my bag there with the paper with the lyrics in it. I picked the bag, looked inside and removed the folded paper. I make my way back.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuT7D0XLKH
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3Z3QOGezn
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfmKBXhD6N
I give the paper to Yang Hyun-suk and he quickly unfolded it. I’m glad I wrote the lyrics on a clean sheet of paper, because the other had a lot of scribbles and cancellations. That’s just the life of a song-writer, I guess.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYJA22faZG
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJjDpBPfXL
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEIbKdGVKf
He looked at the paper and now the nervous tension in the room got a whole lot worse. I saw him raise his eyebrow and I turned to look at Yong-guk. Surprisingly, he had a smirk on his face as he looked at me. How is he not scared right now?645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKnrhtjVYw
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjM9PjAM4u
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkWJr7TY5H
Yang Hyun-suk turned around on the swivel chair, then turned back to look at us. This is it. His final judgement.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBH4UMes4O
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFRFVQi5i6
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdEdUcEorr
"This is good," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Once we fuse the instrumental with these lyrics, it will be a great hit."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5ic8HMLEk

645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFKv4AFfTc
I sighed in relief while the rest clapped and cheered a little, especially the ladies. I felt Yong-guk put his hand on my shoulder with a smile. He mouthed out an "I-told-you-so" and I couldn’t help but blush.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdytOVSc6zi

645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSu43oDUvi
"This is an excellent piece of work, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk as he handed the paper to Collins. "As much as it is a breakup song, the tune and the beat make it fun to sing to."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIPb5ITvYX
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgxDICMVg5

"Okay, settle down, everyone," said Yang Hyun-suk as he stood up from his chair to address us. "Don’t get so excited. We need everyone’s cooperation to make this album a success."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1Xpbqgmfc
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdMvheYt1r

645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr4OIJZlKB
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP34QDgYyc8
"So, as we mentioned to you some time ago, you’ll be working with other lyricists and producers for the album, so we’ve to work effectively," said Yang Hyun-suk. "It will be tiring for you, but this song should be perfected today so as to make time to create others."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZeYmTP1bQ
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAyDa7bbC1
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxcDyKLzWk
We all looked at each other. It won’t be the first time any of us has had to perfect a song or an album in a short period of time. Looks like us Toxins have to burn the oil before leaving.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0wGhIBxjr
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylTtMjJLlm

645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8apTY769q
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRheib4mkT
"I know, this seems sudden, again, and we’re sorry about that," Yang Hyun-suk apologised. "We thought it would be nice to shoot a music video for the fans in order to promote the album. It will be stressful, but in the long run, it will be prove to be very effective."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7JjFNLVUV
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvfMmTCS6n
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfENfkrgxtW
The thought of making a music video still didn’t sit well with me. We’ll be so stressed out from making the album that I don’t know if we’re ever going to manage making a music video. But just like Yang Hyun-suk said, it will be effective when it comes to promoting the album. I look around and the excitement we had earlier just dissipated like it wasn’t even there to begin with.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK69zHRHSU9

Yong-guk and I gave a nod of our heads. The two managers started to make their way out of the recording room wishing us the best. As soon as they left, there is silence amongst ourselves. A few seconds later, I went for the door and opened it to peek down both ends of the hall. They are gone. I closed the door and turned to address the others:645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOV33YKGAt

A lot of people are expecting this BTW collaboration to happen, and we’ve to give them the best that we can offer. So can we please, settle down so that we can find a way to work around this?

We've Yong-guk and the producer over here to make sure we finish this song today. We've lyricists and other producers coming in later to help finish the album. I know the music video is a real pushover, but there will be a lot of people helping us out with it.

Yong-guk went on ahead to explain that we will have to hear how the song will play out first before we start to give out parts to sing. Mike and I were with him when making the instrumental and we knew how the lyrics will flow, so we would do a test-run and see if everything will be alright. If need be, we all know there might be a change here and there with either the tune on some parts of the lyrics.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGl2eB9Hzu

I placed a hand on his shoulder assuring him that it’s all going to be okay.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMF8vUmJDo

The two of us go in the booth to the centre of the room to the microphones and the headphones mounted, ready to be worn. We put the headphones on and Yong-guk instructed through the mic on the other side that they will first play the instrumental, then we can see how to fuse in the lyrics. The good part about working with Mike and Yong-guk yesterday, is that even when we were making the instrumental, we sort of tried to work with the lyrics we had. But anything can happen, so we’ve to be ready to make some changes.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxSmWZ8UbL

645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwocCABqBMW
Mike and I gave him the thumbs up. The instrumental started to play and we listened intently. As soon as the instrumental was done, I could see the rest of BTW looking excited. Looks like they like the instrumental. Now the hard part begins. I found Mike looking at me.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOOz8ZuRtd

645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOy4wLQIB6
Mike and I looked at the paper I had placed on the stand before us. We talked a little and agreed on a few things that we already thought about yesterday. As soon as we were done, we gave the producer and Yong-guk a thumbs up. We're ready to go.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4bsEPeurp
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHwG0WFvdl
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIgRPg6ce1
I see the producer hit the record button on the console and the music soon started to play. I began with a little harmony before I started to sing out the lyrics of the first verse. I had to sing the lyrics out a little faster due to the fast beat of the instrumental. Mike joined me afterwards.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7cwafYEnH
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY8NcvTDIi
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesi5cwyEPD
I didn’t think much about it as I continued to sing alongside Mike. And I later realised that this song is pretty fun to sing to. As we entered the chorus, I realised that Mike and I were actually snapping our fingers and moving from side to side to the tune. When we finished the chorus, the producer held us to a stop.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Co8Qgd6nn

"Okay, guys," the producer started to say. I think we might be doing a do-over by the way he sounded. "The song is great."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMPOL7mSNQ
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCherjOZUH
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeHcACNMq6
I’m shocked. He looked so stoic I thought he would make us do a do-over. I can now see the rest of BTW smiling on happily like a team they were supporting had won a game. Lee gave Mike and me a two thumbs-up. Yong-guk continued to smile back at us, looking on proudly.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VVSfESqjc

"You guys are amazing!" came Zoey’s voice through the speaker. Mike and I turned to the window and saw her standing next to Yong-guk and speaking into the mic. She's really loud, that Mike had to remove his headphones and pretended that his ears had been pierced by her voice by sticking his index finger into one of them.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWdykWRLv7

645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89CXM0ofDw
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiE87UjAGl
Just like that, we continued composing the song. And so far, it went on smoothly. On the second verse, we had to work around the rap parts first with Mike before we sang them out, but that also went on fine with a few changes. We finished composing the song, and Mike and I were able to go sing the song from A to Z perfectly.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZkJSUWChF

"Okay, everyone," came Yong-guk. "We need to put the song on record soon. So while we drink our water and have a bite to eat, let’s divide the song into parts and see who will sing what verse. We’ll have a lot of you for backup vocals."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjacVObRXoe
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdODuMQt9o
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bOGy0pdMd
And we did just that. A lot of us will have parts to sing from the first verses, the bridges and the chorus. And those who rap mainly took the second verse, the third and last verses. Let’s not forget that there’s also going to be backup vocals.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBetfR8y7t

Apparently no one left the room. Everyone including Yong-guk and the producer came to join some of us on the couch. The good thing is we were keeping ourselves occupied. Some were on their phones while some of us were engaged in small conversations. It’s then that I remembered that I had a message on my phone.

I looked around and I can feel the uneasiness in the room. This isn’t good. Whatever Johnny has planned is ruining our chance of recording the song, if not the whole album.

Mike and Mino did as they were told and Mino did likewise to lock the door behind him. He and Mike stood by the door. Everyone in the room is now silent. We could hear footsteps getting closer and closer. I’m counting two people. Could it be GD and Johnny?645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAFZGWodfR

There came a knock. With our torches on and pointed at the door, Mike gave a nod of his head that he’ll open it. We all held our breaths as Mike took hold of the door knob. I surely hope it’s not some kind of joke and we end up finding Johnny.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhBRBTxHR0

We all stood up from our seats and started to make way to the recording room. I stopped for a bit and pulled out my phone. I really want to call GD to find out where he is and if he knows where Johnny is too. I turned to see Lee talking to the guards, obviously telling them to keep an eye out while we work.

I start to wonder how this place could be on lockdown just over Johnny. Did something else have happened that we aren’t aware of? We aren't even aware that we're on lockdown.
