"Okay, guys, let’s take a few minutes break and continue afterwards," Yong-guk spoke into the microphone. 162Please respect copyright.PENANARGIuufeZhY

162Please respect copyright.PENANAKDkOspMTWd
As soon as I took off the headphones, I could hear everyone around mutter a little in frustration. They are tired, and I couldn’t blame them, since I was too. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAPM3dKQ3MtY
162Please respect copyright.PENANA8gVGu2gpjl
162Please respect copyright.PENANAmNzgKIZ8WL
So far so good with recording the song. But we had to make a number of pauses here and there when Yong-guk or the producer felt the need to change tune. All we need to work on now was the last verse and backup vocals. 162Please respect copyright.PENANA4bqkPmvQbv

"I need to use the ladies’ room," said Zoey. "Sam, will you escort me?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAnzfDVDA6qV
162Please respect copyright.PENANAZyFHi77t7l
162Please respect copyright.PENANAL1PXNdeCrG

162Please respect copyright.PENANAcbD5mGcvHF

"Anyone else want to come?" Zoey asked the BlackPink members, already settled on the couch.162Please respect copyright.PENANAWV73zZA6Dl

162Please respect copyright.PENANA070kPFgiNj
162Please respect copyright.PENANAngnh06rplP

162Please respect copyright.PENANA7Hk20wIm4Z
162Please respect copyright.PENANAGdM2P64abB

162Please respect copyright.PENANAA2Fs0SNhOv
162Please respect copyright.PENANAnqNwufIRh7

162Please respect copyright.PENANArKr3IfXcLc
162Please respect copyright.PENANARhB2LzNaUp
We found one of the guards standing by the door. The other guard who was with us last night must have escorted Lee.162Please respect copyright.PENANAGehgYMlPRZ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAD0zaMMhOjg
162Please respect copyright.PENANALEfM8GWIOP
"Going somewhere, ladies?" the guard asked.162Please respect copyright.PENANAWX43cnArhg
162Please respect copyright.PENANAiVBX0ryppv
162Please respect copyright.PENANAsVCHuTybxY

162Please respect copyright.PENANAoolUNyHJaE
162Please respect copyright.PENANAfDsuMIsoQ5
The rooms were just at the other end of the hall, so I could feel the guard’s eyes on us as we walked. As soon as the three of us went in, Zoey quickly started to look around, checking the toilet stalls if there's anyone.162Please respect copyright.PENANAU0Ss2RZRGV
162Please respect copyright.PENANARp4cZLFtm1
162Please respect copyright.PENANA6IMmMcS0Hw
"Okay, there’s no one here and I couldn’t be any happier that it’s the two of you who are here with me," said Zoey after she finished looking around. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAGwCtVFpUCI
162Please respect copyright.PENANA7VNxyUXSFn
162Please respect copyright.PENANArXn3dymG0Z
"Um…, I seriously just want to go," said Christine as she entered one of the stalls. I went into the other one.162Please respect copyright.PENANAzoa1vzgc6v
162Please respect copyright.PENANAhMmnZUrokM
162Please respect copyright.PENANAsAfiejvU0b
"Ya, I know," said Zoey. "I’m just glad that it’s you guys who came here with me."162Please respect copyright.PENANA7dVE2g9B51
162Please respect copyright.PENANAEjVAMOQDJN
162Please respect copyright.PENANARBrEBHzZUh
"What is running through your mind, Zoey?" I asked as I drew my pants down to take a leak.162Please respect copyright.PENANAq0sscFBhBq
162Please respect copyright.PENANAU5EipzeXKy
162Please respect copyright.PENANAX9mJz7e9kk
"Oh, nothing. I was planning to just stay in here for a while and take some time to myself."162Please respect copyright.PENANAmLmzTpA3Kk
162Please respect copyright.PENANAnF1hjqVgfI
162Please respect copyright.PENANAugJ5ql10rr
I raise an eyebrow. I’m not buying it. As soon as I was done, I drew up my pants, flushed the toilet and walked out of the stall.162Please respect copyright.PENANA070si6ypxC
162Please respect copyright.PENANA0Tz48UM6R8
162Please respect copyright.PENANAS5Eeq8fEQd
"You’re lying, Zoey," I said as I passed her to wash my hands by the sinks.162Please respect copyright.PENANAdxdw5EZZkG
162Please respect copyright.PENANAbYxdtgB95O
162Please respect copyright.PENANAJdus2EbNhi

162Please respect copyright.PENANAk229ttFxkZ
162Please respect copyright.PENANA7uXnCc6cn2
"You want to sneak out of here and find Johnny. In fact, since we came here with you, you plan to convince us to do so."162Please respect copyright.PENANA2G8XGOLPqz
162Please respect copyright.PENANAgnGxJjAdUZ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAi2oF5HAzg5
"Okay, you caught me," she said, raising her hands in surrender. "I really want to get him and squeeze his neck."162Please respect copyright.PENANAqrmyyQFGVq
162Please respect copyright.PENANAerhgGyUg5e
162Please respect copyright.PENANAJRiZsnU3jj
"That’s called murder, Zoey," said Christine from her stall. The sound of the flushing toilet came afterwards.162Please respect copyright.PENANATs4cregwgP
162Please respect copyright.PENANA2ofR9z5i8m
162Please respect copyright.PENANA14aoOGNs2j
"Fine, I want to teach him a lesson so that he won’t have to come after us again," she said.162Please respect copyright.PENANAb75OWdhhCz
162Please respect copyright.PENANAV1fNP3zHf5
162Please respect copyright.PENANAIsEf0nTYDB
"Did you just forget that we made a promise this morning not to go after him?" Christine asked as she walked out. "And even if we wanted to, we’ve a song to finish recording. Or have you forgotten about that too?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAjjtGpGMB2o
162Please respect copyright.PENANADt8L5lbZ1h
162Please respect copyright.PENANArYVsWJVkzi

162Please respect copyright.PENANAdK8NTEtXw3
162Please respect copyright.PENANAjYKur63rV6
"Look, Zoey," I said as Christine came over to wash her hands, "as much as we all want to go out there and find Johnny to teach him a lesson, it's too risky. And if you ask me, producing the album couldn't have come at a better time to keep us busy instead of obsessing over him."162Please respect copyright.PENANAABUZdV3i7M
162Please respect copyright.PENANAvfbkvgdQ8Z
162Please respect copyright.PENANANTp5Qxpd7X
"I'm not obsessing over him!"162Please respect copyright.PENANAd5HyIanKcz
162Please respect copyright.PENANAMTWoyB4NyU
162Please respect copyright.PENANAeGeKAtnTD4
"You want to squeeze his neck," said Christine as she turned to look at her. "That sounds like obsession."162Please respect copyright.PENANAjgIv0NdKqA
162Please respect copyright.PENANAmXvqmXroVL
162Please respect copyright.PENANAoFtQUoQv45
Zoey stomped her foot on the white tiled floor. "Come on, you two," she said. "Are you telling me you don’t want to go out there and find him?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAao5ts8aev3
162Please respect copyright.PENANAbO3hggSUyU
162Please respect copyright.PENANAajdUPpnw02
"As much as I want to, I know that recording the album is way more important. We’re all worried about what he can do and he might very well just get in the way of things. But we’ve to leave this to the guards. Let them do their job while we focus on ours."162Please respect copyright.PENANAgDIotRuEnX
162Please respect copyright.PENANAgX1Ac1V4JS
162Please respect copyright.PENANAdBrMXpOC6C
Zoey folded her arms. "I don’t think the guards can do a better job at dealing with Johnny than we can."162Please respect copyright.PENANAp1Ep6JJPuY
162Please respect copyright.PENANANu6ThBU5yV
162Please respect copyright.PENANAunvyA9AIWE
"You’re right," I said. "But the tricks we used on Johnny before, might not work now. If you ask me, we’ve to plan something extraordinary which will need time. And which we don’t have."162Please respect copyright.PENANAD7xYRuFDQd
162Please respect copyright.PENANAVMpok9k62M
162Please respect copyright.PENANAFoirrypzMu
"I agree with Sam," said Christine. "Johnny is haunting us at a time when we need to work on an album. And I won’t lie, even if we did make our promise to Lee and Collins, I was going to go out with you. But we’re all tied up. And we can’t jeopardise everyone and the album because of a grown man who keeps acting like a child."162Please respect copyright.PENANAHQu0Ek9e5h
162Please respect copyright.PENANAl5w170qmNB
162Please respect copyright.PENANAsbaKK3SzO2
I chuckled. "Did you really have to put it like that, Christine?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAn84ew7G2bU
162Please respect copyright.PENANAIsKdPhyROA
162Please respect copyright.PENANAGfka9V71gt
"It’s the honest truth. Johnny needs to grow up for once and let the past go. I mean, even Daniel seems more like an adult than he is."162Please respect copyright.PENANA8HZidyRFFp
162Please respect copyright.PENANAdTiggZvrz9
162Please respect copyright.PENANAbgsBfNCddJ
"I get your point," said Zoey. "But I’m scared that he might do something to ruin what we’re working on. That’s why I want him out of the way quickly."162Please respect copyright.PENANAWrxmWF2QiR
162Please respect copyright.PENANAtItKl9LKD2
162Please respect copyright.PENANAXbDCGzbSWJ
I looked at Zoey and I had a feeling she might be right. Johnny - like he usually is - might as well get in the way of what we're doing. That’s if he really does end up doing so. We just have to be cautious from now on.162Please respect copyright.PENANAgwuNFsrz73
162Please respect copyright.PENANAxVV1gixkTF
162Please respect copyright.PENANAbcLPrGgldj
"We’ll figure something out when things get out of hand," I said to her. "You might be right on this, Zoey. But if he - and that’s a big if - jeopardises this album, we must put up a countermeasure."162Please respect copyright.PENANAL872d4mzEI
162Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4zCHHypny
162Please respect copyright.PENANAXvDW7eoJ59
Zoey cheered out a "Yes" while Christine groaned.162Please respect copyright.PENANAfe1XRaZLld
162Please respect copyright.PENANAxn5hVdpOUt
162Please respect copyright.PENANAwW3txSvKL2
"But if we’re going to do this, then the others have to know too," I quickly added.162Please respect copyright.PENANAt9zSlzPSLS
162Please respect copyright.PENANASe5fdMSfFH
162Please respect copyright.PENANAPbneYKLnCw
The mood on Zoey’s face suddenly vanished. "What do you mean we have to involve the others?"162Please respect copyright.PENANA9MX4QDusKb
162Please respect copyright.PENANABwUs8lYg8V
162Please respect copyright.PENANAN9WPe2uG1U

162Please respect copyright.PENANAaAwTxSbK2B
162Please respect copyright.PENANArD9juLanWq
"Well…, not entirely," I said with a smirk on my face. "If - and that’s a big if - Johnny does try to jeopardise the album, she’ll also want to get her hands on him. In fact, everyone involved would."162Please respect copyright.PENANAKEbfxcpRyl
162Please respect copyright.PENANA1gFZI9AG0w

"I hate to admit, but you do know Lee well, don’t you, Sam?" Christine asked.162Please respect copyright.PENANAcQp5syQ0uL
162Please respect copyright.PENANAPzpEvByAEI
162Please respect copyright.PENANADKHsTknv7L

162Please respect copyright.PENANAJwt6MYnORA
162Please respect copyright.PENANAvfruIMkifM
"So Sam is on board," said Zoey, "if - and that's a big if - Johnny messes with the album. How about you, Christine?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAfdzNsNU0w1
162Please respect copyright.PENANAxTP5Zro0uj
162Please respect copyright.PENANAYJqPFp6Tyl
"I’m already in," said Christine. "Like Sam said, we would all want to get our hands on him if he does such."162Please respect copyright.PENANAZg9c1RNq3Z
162Please respect copyright.PENANACSLkLyArjb
162Please respect copyright.PENANAXnxkgomWWq

162Please respect copyright.PENANAqSDWLHoi94
162Please respect copyright.PENANAKQe3pMwFu9

162Please respect copyright.PENANAMcvkOZC1hB
162Please respect copyright.PENANAs6MMUT5X0x
"Typical," Christine said, rolling her eyes at Zoey. She turned to look at me. "Do you really think he can do it?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAoCogW1Fs3G
162Please respect copyright.PENANA0KWLcrHlkO
162Please respect copyright.PENANAbzpkTLCcmZ
"Remember when I said this isn’t the old days when we had to deal with his lousy pranks a lot better? This time is different. I believe he can do something serious. Last night at the park was no typical prank."162Please respect copyright.PENANAlZavpQfjkN
162Please respect copyright.PENANA9cGwphJdro
162Please respect copyright.PENANA91LRsETzgq

162Please respect copyright.PENANAZND1BiIb9C
Zoey soon flushed and seconds later she came out to wash her hands in the sink. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAI50paplcUw
162Please respect copyright.PENANAnlyOJFIrj7
162Please respect copyright.PENANAKLRZy7iLna
"Of course, he’s serious," said Zoey. "I just fear that he may hold a gun to our heads." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAVRyvpESMZL
162Please respect copyright.PENANAossHBeOXfC
162Please respect copyright.PENANA5kHb39DL8e

162Please respect copyright.PENANAUkxyUapOV3
162Please respect copyright.PENANAUhqqqzQ6Ex
"But it’s could be a possibility," I said. "Johnny does like to take things a little too far from time to time."162Please respect copyright.PENANAyxKj7s2qII

162Please respect copyright.PENANAzO3GThfLnE
162Please respect copyright.PENANAoiAaHhLOEb
Zoey and I didn’t argue there. I’m just glad we get to go back with Zoey. If Christine and I hadn’t come with her, she would’ve gone to find Jehan herself. 162Please respect copyright.PENANANZtZCA7z1m

162Please respect copyright.PENANAQTgkkF6JBp

162Please respect copyright.PENANAyZAtEIXNBK
162Please respect copyright.PENANAowVSZg3VKC
"No, not yet," said Jinwoo as he stood from where he sat and walked up to us. "Strange that she isn't here."162Please respect copyright.PENANAqm6xLZuVnc
162Please respect copyright.PENANAFAfI7f57xp
162Please respect copyright.PENANAT2CBxD3YOG
He's right. I would like to know that she's alright, so I pull out my phone to give her a call. 162Please respect copyright.PENANArJZj6z2WPZ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAKbVC8tTesj
162Please respect copyright.PENANAp6auDqzKaC
She immediately picked up. "Sam, are you okay?" she asked.162Please respect copyright.PENANAB85AmCYRMa
162Please respect copyright.PENANAdzdvnpwePT

162Please respect copyright.PENANAFcLPqCrj8h
162Please respect copyright.PENANAqqeYf2nasT
"Oh, right. I'm heading back to you. I went to meet the managers and see if there's any update on Johnny. But sadly, to no avail."162Please respect copyright.PENANA4SJMGpiXwg
162Please respect copyright.PENANAlpj6owH7vT
162Please respect copyright.PENANATK8OHViAhz

162Please respect copyright.PENANARQXzlxHrdK

162Please respect copyright.PENANAzqzn3E9ykI
162Please respect copyright.PENANAyeTyxqJ7fD
"Oh, he's good," said Mike. "I remember how he could easily get away from us wherever we knew he was the one pulling pranks. Like Sam says, he's just like a fox. You can never tell where he's hiding."162Please respect copyright.PENANAifywRGo7J4

162Please respect copyright.PENANAxbR8nTdPQH
162Please respect copyright.PENANAnhvRmDVLMX

162Please respect copyright.PENANAqgowVXKXPO
162Please respect copyright.PENANAeWkI70KoMF
"Maybe later, you two can go on a date or something," said Jennie. I found myself blushing, surprised that she said that. Yong-guk looked at Jennie with his mouth agape.162Please respect copyright.PENANAYBcPDYjoQA
162Please respect copyright.PENANAXxGtAmy0cT

162Please respect copyright.PENANA8LCsCnGhdK
162Please respect copyright.PENANASFAzX86SmV
"Oh, don’t pretend," said Jennie, waving her hand at him. "You simply can’t take your eyes off her. I noticed how close you two were when you came here in the studio."162Please respect copyright.PENANARZeRuKoLtm
162Please respect copyright.PENANASbwuhnK2x4

162Please respect copyright.PENANAFrcFGBpEJT
"Ya," said Seunghoon as he came to stand next to me to put his arm around my shoulders, drawing me into a bear hug. "Besides, I’m the one she’s supposed to be hanging out with. Not him." He threw Yong-guk a look.162Please respect copyright.PENANAMqiyYlkpGP

162Please respect copyright.PENANAjKdL3l6kWm
"Nah, I agree with Jennie," said Zoey. "Let's face it, Yong-guk, if Jennie can see you've eyes for Sam, then so can all of us. And I can tell how you enjoyed working with her close to you yesterday." Zoey wiggled her eyebrows.162Please respect copyright.PENANAtMY259BHPV

162Please respect copyright.PENANAI1N9SwTACQ
"I think the others are right," said Christine. "You two would make a cute power couple. Imagine this: You’re both songwriters and producers, though for Sam it’s like a part-time thing." I turn to her with a look. I'm not a producer at all. "It’s just perfect."162Please respect copyright.PENANAw7zmUDvwmw
162Please respect copyright.PENANAgURyMDuyaU
162Please respect copyright.PENANAht8N3RWjeS
"I know, right?" Jennie asked. "They seem like a match made in heaven."162Please respect copyright.PENANAn8GCK81r5w

"Goodness, everyone here is starting to annoy me," Seunghoon said. Apart from me, I don’t think anyone got what he said. He’s hug got even tighter.162Please respect copyright.PENANAfkY7vXWHBi
162Please respect copyright.PENANAlU5gyekN5e
162Please respect copyright.PENANAR7BmEPyQHu
"Enough, you guys," said Mike. "Don't you think you've gone way too far? You always try to pair up her with a guy all the time."162Please respect copyright.PENANAB7XvZQE8Gc
162Please respect copyright.PENANARQaKS1AMDH
162Please respect copyright.PENANAWWbMkQ5X5s
"Really?" Jisoo asked.162Please respect copyright.PENANAOVB1nmSfwU
162Please respect copyright.PENANASvoOp3CZFw
162Please respect copyright.PENANA7sZtgJ6pGl
"Zoey and Christine are always in the forefront," Daniel answered. "Before we even landed here, they thought of pairing her up with anyone from BigBang."162Please respect copyright.PENANAE8mYTsp2I5
162Please respect copyright.PENANAsJbVSBcSZ9
162Please respect copyright.PENANAwk1URjGxsW
"Hey, we might have thought of that," said Zoey. "But it’s not my fault that almost all of them like her. Except Taeyang, of course. He treats us like his sisters."162Please respect copyright.PENANAfC4BGP6DfI
162Please respect copyright.PENANAyqkntNd8gC
162Please respect copyright.PENANAkyTX61ekgg
"I had no idea four of the BigBang members like her," said Lisa, finding all this amusing that she put her phone aside.162Please respect copyright.PENANA0NpaqsJQha
162Please respect copyright.PENANApIk1UBQkXs
162Please respect copyright.PENANALSsVXQFaw7
"You better believe it," said Zoey. "Daesung and GD are head over heels in love with her."162Please respect copyright.PENANAbiKiEp0rfa
162Please respect copyright.PENANATWvJzAksdM
162Please respect copyright.PENANApTx7R0CzHf
I blushed when all eyes fell on me. I bet the producer by the console had his eyes on me too. I've had enough of this discussion. It has to end right now.162Please respect copyright.PENANAH8yuQlZYFM
162Please respect copyright.PENANASfApGQKg8l
162Please respect copyright.PENANAlHC0fm4XJ5
"Enough, people," said Yong-guk as he quickly stood up from his seat. "Let's get to work!"162Please respect copyright.PENANAkhYhbVIKYJ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAxR9eBkI0Y9
162Please respect copyright.PENANAGCghFzpbLm
Everyone now murmured in disappointment. The conversation was just getting good and Yong-guk had to ruin it. I couldn't help but feel relieved. I was feeling uncomfortable and I'm thankful to Yong-guk for bringing that up. Even Seunghoon's grip had loosened. I can finally breathe.162Please respect copyright.PENANAqySaZD7IY3
162Please respect copyright.PENANAlsTYsNYyj9
162Please respect copyright.PENANARcko84J0Lx
"You really squeezed me too hard," I said, looking up at him.162Please respect copyright.PENANA5WMtAhIZRH
162Please respect copyright.PENANA4gB3SaY31B
162Please respect copyright.PENANASZwqG7Ch19
"I'm so sorry," he said, looking very apologetic as he quickly clapped his hands together.162Please respect copyright.PENANAPhiCdWfvCY
162Please respect copyright.PENANALNLq7biB65
162Please respect copyright.PENANA0g97CPJVGK
"This conversation was just getting good, Yong-guk," said Rose. "Why did you have to ruin it all of a sudden?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAjGbksubQUs
162Please respect copyright.PENANA0hb0IGH9fV
162Please respect copyright.PENANAflec9dw15W
"Because we don't have time on our hands," Yong-guk answered.162Please respect copyright.PENANAvlqhNmiM6i
162Please respect copyright.PENANAewBFD2CkaL
162Please respect copyright.PENANAEo3WjoX3Ia
"I agree," said Mike. "Let's finish the song and move on."162Please respect copyright.PENANAWo0QaxdVAs
162Please respect copyright.PENANAeEflGaZmm9
162Please respect copyright.PENANAHE4hoXIQJ6

162Please respect copyright.PENANA84PhJpO89I
"I like to have my love life private," I said.162Please respect copyright.PENANAYvbJxWOHg7
162Please respect copyright.PENANAIehdTZ7LMd
162Please respect copyright.PENANAxBaIUZpqkz
"Okay, enough about my sister's love life, please," said Daniel.162Please respect copyright.PENANA3egegqMvkE
162Please respect copyright.PENANA2SSrOsyqrG
162Please respect copyright.PENANASBbBy1x8pW
"Ya, we've better things to worry about," said Seungyoon. "You girls can talk about it later." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAmVPBih02Fs
162Please respect copyright.PENANAe0MHEuEJrG
162Please respect copyright.PENANAueIFRQ5Sx7
"OK, fine," said Rose. "But this was getting interesting." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAHwGg3fQxhk
162Please respect copyright.PENANAV37uohOxQ3
162Please respect copyright.PENANAtSDJXPkK0p

162Please respect copyright.PENANAKZM72gbW18
"Everyone, to the recording booth, please," the producer now chirped in. "We need to be done with this before the day ends." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAy4E6fTIaw4
162Please respect copyright.PENANANCb0u5Hvkz
162Please respect copyright.PENANAJbDpm60etH
After the producer spoke, a lot of us got serious and started to make our way to the booth. I stood there for a while as I tried to clear away the heat from my cheeks. I can't believe I'm still blushing up till now. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAaEatv6mIlK
162Please respect copyright.PENANAWbAPY7lXqI
162Please respect copyright.PENANAigPqTity5i
"Hey, are you okay?" Yong-guk asked after Jennie and Seunghoon left my side. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAOCiKE5lApD
162Please respect copyright.PENANAzZB7pm9Lpc
162Please respect copyright.PENANA023TLBT7N5
"No," I honestly answered. I rubbed my cheeks with the palm of my hands. I turned to look at him. "Are you okay?" 162Please respect copyright.PENANAWYatyP8BMr
162Please respect copyright.PENANAMo0FclBKYc
162Please respect copyright.PENANAn5pOR6ApTj
"Not really." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAv61qKqMrN2
162Please respect copyright.PENANAqgJ612UlL9
162Please respect copyright.PENANApqDIZ0Narg
"These guys really embarrassed us, huh?" 162Please respect copyright.PENANAaKUOvsT43y
162Please respect copyright.PENANANERfoYO4nG
162Please respect copyright.PENANAjSgykyw5jC
"Very much." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAkqcmc3yrQl
162Please respect copyright.PENANAcXuy4Q92M2
162Please respect copyright.PENANAxocvzwlbec
"Well, I better get in there. I'm sorry for what happened." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAdmKgQmf3Nq
162Please respect copyright.PENANAooIpfFU0Wn
162Please respect copyright.PENANAraPkBhgBSx
"Oh, don't worry about it. As much as they were joking around, I can't help but feel that...." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAtu9p7F9BGi
162Please respect copyright.PENANA8TFv74CNWe
162Please respect copyright.PENANAmy28WhJMKV
Yong-guk paused as he looked at me, then suddenly looked away. What was he about to say just now? And is he blushing? 162Please respect copyright.PENANAYwMPlQ8pJK
162Please respect copyright.PENANA8SVcf5URXA
162Please respect copyright.PENANASNLYczJF8w
"What were you going to say?" I asked. 162Please respect copyright.PENANASYtJmaOflm
162Please respect copyright.PENANAMxA0ApjBDf
162Please respect copyright.PENANAPClPxuwcYN
"Nothing," he said, avoiding my eyes. "You better go in there." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAh6hTvw655D
162Please respect copyright.PENANATj5G7wd9wG
162Please respect copyright.PENANARSLpFhNhfa
"Ya, right," I quickly darted for the recording booth. I couldn't help but feel Yong-guk wanted to say something really important. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAqeEPsW2QSj
162Please respect copyright.PENANAOALXQdfOVZ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAB9F3SPgWsl
"Hey, isn't Lee supposed to be back by now?" Mike asked me as soon as I entered the booth. 162Please respect copyright.PENANArLkWyLDCmZ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAhMxqDIixgE
162Please respect copyright.PENANAdrSe2lhVLq
"She said she's on her way," I answered. "But you're right. I wonder what's holding her up." 162Please respect copyright.PENANABZLS0cSyB9
162Please respect copyright.PENANAVgvXsA774k
162Please respect copyright.PENANAp6q2QbdaNg
"Could Johnny and her have met?" Zoey asked. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAR2eRAWvZ5h
162Please respect copyright.PENANAxCugaElPe1
162Please respect copyright.PENANAgIza7qWR8Q
That's one scenario I don't want to think of. If they do meet or if they already have, who knows what would happen. 162Please respect copyright.PENANANKnirTwK0j
162Please respect copyright.PENANAvFW89UzmSt
162Please respect copyright.PENANAhYaSETvw2p
"Let us not worry too much," said Daniel. "She did leave with the guard, right? She'll be back before we know it." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAUCCD3uuAuT
162Please respect copyright.PENANAyyS0wdD59W
162Please respect copyright.PENANA100jBhIFLx
"Mmm, I don't know," said Seungyoon as he already had headphones over his head. "Don't you think we should give her a call to make sure she's alright?" 162Please respect copyright.PENANAc2jbSdt6Mn
162Please respect copyright.PENANATXGVzZn3ai
162Please respect copyright.PENANAqVJ9VZEDRE
"I think that's a good idea," said Jisoo. She now turned to look at me. "Why don't you give her a ring, Sam?" 162Please respect copyright.PENANAzLk6s3qdmp
162Please respect copyright.PENANAPHuZqBFE9x
162Please respect copyright.PENANA3rNf7EZ33g
"Let's be quick about it, alright?" came the producer. "We don't want to waste any more time." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAoCqdH8rKqA
162Please respect copyright.PENANAOL8zmSKutV
162Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7qSNTrL7a
I gave him a thumbs-up as I quickly pulled out my phone to call Lee. I put the phone to my ear and waited. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAje75cKQwfQ
162Please respect copyright.PENANA4nkVInymlJ
162Please respect copyright.PENANA8TnYYsVnVm
Everyone's eyes are on me. I'm starting to worry. Why isn't she picking up? Had she somehow left her phone behind somewhere? 162Please respect copyright.PENANAH8XnZ7Lyd5
162Please respect copyright.PENANA0FGsd1ElfE
162Please respect copyright.PENANAfwGEkTQcN1
"She isn't picking up," I announced after the line couldn't connect. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAz6mh2N8dyg
162Please respect copyright.PENANANYPAaByqRY
162Please respect copyright.PENANAEvjcSbryt3
"Where could she be?" Jinwoo asked. "Now I'm starting to think of the worst." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAsIHndItFtS
162Please respect copyright.PENANACka10mOmHO
162Please respect copyright.PENANAVc6iM7q3hD
"Same here," said Christine. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2qBQixRJZ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAR5zuctiq2X
162Please respect copyright.PENANAEJfg2JnkkB
"Maybe we go out and look for her?" Jennie suggested. 162Please respect copyright.PENANA9y7ypKtaV2
162Please respect copyright.PENANARNBmaGn26r
162Please respect copyright.PENANAqNTZ06DgT6
"Sounds like a plan, but I don't think the producer would want that," said Mino as he turned to look at the producer on the other side of the booth. 162Please respect copyright.PENANA292Hr7Ja7q
162Please respect copyright.PENANAAVGJSvq23i
162Please respect copyright.PENANAHuJFopCs3c
"I agree," the producer said through the mic. "I know you're worried, but we still have a lot to do with the song."162Please respect copyright.PENANAqXXC4Utdk4
162Please respect copyright.PENANAy7JrvmlV6x
162Please respect copyright.PENANA6tAWmQeNyR
"I second with him," said Yong-guk. "Let's try to work quickly, and if Lee won't be back at that time, maybe a few of us can go out and look for her."162Please respect copyright.PENANAcYyYoq1fBz
162Please respect copyright.PENANAuFomwAZbBo
162Please respect copyright.PENANAOSkeV8llw4
"Works well for me," said Zoey as she quickly put on her headphones. "Let's get to work, people." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAnE6lVCS7JF
162Please respect copyright.PENANAXxaHkzQe0b
162Please respect copyright.PENANAh3lLphqYkX
Everyone else in the booth agreed and I could tell how serious they were when we started to work on the third verse and the back-up vocals. As we followed the producer and Yong-guk's instructions, we made fewer mistakes than expected. Even when we worked, a few of us couldn't help but look out through the glass of the booth to see whether Lee would walk into the room or we might find her seated on the seats watching us. But sadly, there is still no sign of her.162Please respect copyright.PENANAdvxvVI4qy2
162Please respect copyright.PENANAPXxoUPtmnb
162Please respect copyright.PENANAQIiWvfORjt
We were finally done and it took almost an hour and thirty minutes.162Please respect copyright.PENANAJDEDfUbzNt
162Please respect copyright.PENANAbimqdJeAWM
162Please respect copyright.PENANAyDwzHCWKP1
"Okay, now that we're done," said the producer, "you can do whatever you want."162Please respect copyright.PENANAxZFBtEckuv
162Please respect copyright.PENANA9WprybR2Gp
162Please respect copyright.PENANA1Sya7N2o2Z
"I thought he would never say that," said Zoey as she literally threw her headphones away and headed for the door. If it wasn't for Mino standing behind her at the time to catch them, they would've landed on the floor. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAPtrRrEICME
162Please respect copyright.PENANADzUuN8I9eE
162Please respect copyright.PENANAzCq5fSzqiY
"Hold your horses, Zoey," came Yong-guk as he magically stood by the door when she opened it. "We all can't go out there and look for her. For all we know, she might be with the managers or maybe she's not in the building."162Please respect copyright.PENANAiYdYCOFmBY
162Please respect copyright.PENANAKNxPRfSRtj
162Please respect copyright.PENANAc6PsgonV95
I bet now is the time to tell them. "Lee couldn't have walked out of the premises," I said. "Now that Johnny is here, they decided to put the place on lockdown. No one goes in or out." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAAa8cUpLO2Z
162Please respect copyright.PENANAXt1DfT675Q
162Please respect copyright.PENANA2Wi6Ns8czi
"What! We're on lockdown!" Seunghoon asked. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAij70wTY7S7
162Please respect copyright.PENANA1tQG8rp0kI
162Please respect copyright.PENANA2yQ3BbApyL
"And you knew?" Mike asked. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAdjWL3qsFNj
162Please respect copyright.PENANAlrTbXzBe4u
162Please respect copyright.PENANAvBtWVyFlei
"Well, if I had told you when we started to work on the song, would you've worked at all?" I asked as I shrugged my shoulders. "Lee probably knew that too, but she didn't want to worry us." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAsmlzBgtUIA
162Please respect copyright.PENANAH2RLlGeRnA
162Please respect copyright.PENANAvv9noBMn6l
"I did too," said the producer. "Someone who works here sent me a text saying that they couldn't get in as he had gone out to get something. Security seem keen to capture this Johnny guy." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAwSXifCa8cP
162Please respect copyright.PENANACKK4AK5z1E
162Please respect copyright.PENANAmhAXKR73uh
"Lockdown or not, we need to find Lee," said Zoey. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAXkuFbOPMO9
162Please respect copyright.PENANAZI8vcvV3XO
162Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z4zB6JA2k
"Okay, but like Yong-guk said, we all can't go," I said. 162Please respect copyright.PENANA89ezvVfq4Y
162Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z39WoSNnI
162Please respect copyright.PENANALzIJmVjKBe
"Okay, then who wants to go out and look for her?" Mike asked. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAgK18nIMDMG
162Please respect copyright.PENANAlpvwS6q0SG
162Please respect copyright.PENANAVh68hKRJFC
Everyone in the booth, including myself raised hands. We all looked at each other. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAun3H8GmT9l
162Please respect copyright.PENANA6WCpog9y3L
162Please respect copyright.PENANA5JJhuriaUh
"Well, this is going to be tough," said the producer, who looked on. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAUEy7GLmEJg
162Please respect copyright.PENANAGapzbndItL
162Please respect copyright.PENANAo7Fx1NQkaC
"Why can't we all go?" Jennie asked. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAOZDdp1x3KE
162Please respect copyright.PENANASKtGbOONAk
162Please respect copyright.PENANAYs8TS1nehU
"Even if its a good idea, we'll have the managers on our necks for not listening to them," I explained. "The fewer who go, the better." 162Please respect copyright.PENANA0UpgYVB8JR
162Please respect copyright.PENANAtLZ74GHfLn
162Please respect copyright.PENANAFnshwcdiMr
"Well, no one is stopping me from going," said Zoey as she folded her arms. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAyQJBFkpO6k
162Please respect copyright.PENANAhiLTw0aVod
162Please respect copyright.PENANA4UHTjOeNlg
"We know," the rest of us said at the same time. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAVg0kt5QhrK
162Please respect copyright.PENANAglhn3P3wvv
162Please respect copyright.PENANAhAcTywfa05
"Fine, each member from each group will go," said Yong-guk. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAEqHLeTpZgQ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAO0Rp0cZrKY
162Please respect copyright.PENANAY5aaEvpqfa
"But that means only three go," said Jisoo. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAnfsaWhuGoc
162Please respect copyright.PENANAmGkQvXgU9z
162Please respect copyright.PENANAmdbrUCkAgJ
"I think we need to add two more," I suggested. 162Please respect copyright.PENANA4R2XRoDfOi
162Please respect copyright.PENANASvK3P5gwE6
162Please respect copyright.PENANAqAKAq4mZik
"Okay, I want to go look for her," said Seunghoon. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAgKwCXaWFI0
162Please respect copyright.PENANAxLOiW6ZbHZ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAPVZAPMTHJD
"I'll go too," said Jisoo. 162Please respect copyright.PENANANzpp2NILoi
162Please respect copyright.PENANA2B4kSfQ2xl
162Please respect copyright.PENANAR9Ptj9luSA
"Okay, now two people will have to join in," I said. "Who is willing to go?" 162Please respect copyright.PENANA8ITgWhOaZI
162Please respect copyright.PENANAbyrBRiQ9Sv
162Please respect copyright.PENANAk8zCqX8RIX
"I'll go," said Mino. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAeC1gZyddxJ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAqmsFZVZifv
162Please respect copyright.PENANAIedq5u8rNs
"One more left," said Yong-guk. "I think Sam should go." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAjBp1EoBYC7
162Please respect copyright.PENANA8BpDPTs78N
162Please respect copyright.PENANAqppq3Hw7SE
"Me?" I raised an eyebrow at him. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAcHLb4mjkzp
162Please respect copyright.PENANA9cHZUwQTJk
162Please respect copyright.PENANAOMBQnBpdir
"I agree," said Christine. "The Toxins know Johnny better than anyone. And if there's anyone who can figure him out, it's you, Sam." 162Please respect copyright.PENANA34jxLY4iwL
162Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ6YHywKwE
162Please respect copyright.PENANAxoIvgXzJPQ
"You're forgetting that Zoey is just as good as figuring him out as me," I point out. 162Please respect copyright.PENANA068bwIicss
162Please respect copyright.PENANAMT9wJkN1s0
162Please respect copyright.PENANAnp7k4Lhs7s
"Ya, but I'll need your help out there," said Zoey. "You don't want me clawing at his face when I see him, do you?" 162Please respect copyright.PENANACV560X6D87
162Please respect copyright.PENANA6RtQVDvXsX
162Please respect copyright.PENANAzHBHR1uWvd
"That's exactly what you’ll do," Mike told her. Zoey hissed at him while Daniel laughed. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAQpnGmHGJTD
162Please respect copyright.PENANALotZ4zy9rY
162Please respect copyright.PENANAfvJI6PnUER
"I agree with Zoey," said Yong-guk. "You’ve to go, Sam. And just like you said, the fewer who go, the better." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAMGv0bp0H5C
162Please respect copyright.PENANAzWfUVC3Vxw
162Please respect copyright.PENANAcXnTxQLs9G
"Okay, can I call her again before we go?" I asked as I got my phone. "Who knows, we might find she's right down the hall." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAMPgaGeqVC7
162Please respect copyright.PENANAT3EjIb2Fe6
162Please respect copyright.PENANAnvoLVz9vBL
"Go ahead," said Seungyoon. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAHcx9X3svQh
162Please respect copyright.PENANArMIhVnT4rU
162Please respect copyright.PENANA71MLODFQI3
I called Lee again and after three rings, she still didn’t pick up. I could see Christine cross her fingers. Everyone else is looking anxious, all hoping for Lee to pick up the call. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAWBOGbQDPhk
162Please respect copyright.PENANAOOp6f1hTnD
162Please respect copyright.PENANAsAG48jRED8
Just as it was about to cut, she finally answered. Thank goodness. 162Please respect copyright.PENANA4WyixiyGlf
162Please respect copyright.PENANANuSzqBEdYl
162Please respect copyright.PENANAMZmDnP55dd
"Lee, are you there?" I asked. I put the phone on loud so that everyone could hear. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAo1bDoyeIIO
162Please respect copyright.PENANAqk6LIUDous
162Please respect copyright.PENANAtzHNFJQYsW
We received silence instead. This isn’t right. Then we heard someone panting and the sound of running feet. Could that be Lee? 162Please respect copyright.PENANAI5n9fs7YL1
162Please respect copyright.PENANAf1WL9Uatfb
162Please respect copyright.PENANAA0ZSoM9KC3
"Lee, answer me. Are you there?" I asked again, this time I’m the one who is anxious. 162Please respect copyright.PENANARFhom02y5v
162Please respect copyright.PENANAd6bPwF1Kk6
162Please respect copyright.PENANASBd4EBqYdh
"Sam?" Lee called. The sound in her voice was that of someone scared. "Are you there?" 162Please respect copyright.PENANA5gAsCtAHca
162Please respect copyright.PENANA4vpLsowPgC
162Please respect copyright.PENANAdAXxKflaUD
"Where are you? And are you running?" 162Please respect copyright.PENANAeDCRPUZKwZ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAJbZY2A2GOW
162Please respect copyright.PENANAa35PPZKljl
"It’s Johnny," she now whispered. "I don’t know how he caught up to me, but he’s here." 162Please respect copyright.PENANA9LrXYTflrV
162Please respect copyright.PENANAeEteidHgzZ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAvvQrEgnNAG

Daniel opened the door and together walked out with the producer, closing the door behind them. The producer started talking to the guard asking to escort him and Daniel to the men’s room. Daniel also added that he really needed to go as he felt he had a running stomach. We could hear footsteps walk away from the door. Seunghoon who was closer opened it slowly and quietly. He poked his head out to see what’s happening. It only took a few seconds before he brought his head back in and opened the door wide. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAYK21LjvVz1
