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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlJlmMRbPN

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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2FWeQHWiQ

"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."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g2mll3ER1

"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.

"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."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ4mnaPRge

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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIbZ0Y545s

"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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMOuHKpyOf

"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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnY13hmvvt

"Ya, I can see that," said Seunghoon, sounding upset. He squeezed me even tighter that I felt like I'm being cuddled by an anaconda.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtq5Lpq2mV

"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."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoRcPs0Bm1

668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd6qe4dizg
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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGDBaw0IKD

668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0Z4b25yR6
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwGNX9En9E
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAGSm6hyVZ

668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sPd9boZw3
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB9LUJtCs3

668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MGcf0yMEm
Yong-guk paused as he looked at me, then suddenly looked away. What was he about to say just now? And is he blushing? 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpinVJgkH0N
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrPpFDME4z
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVfPPHzN3L

668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2YR14KpLO
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjabCYJGv5

668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNGEOz5FiE
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERXwP2RFvM

668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0sV5SMxZP
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx2PDKTWDi
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GsOMQYq6E
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZV0dz6tEg

668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CrWE95BMs
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftT0NEvOQr

668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cykFFEf6Z
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFYeCx2PZ9
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY2UHA0Aj1
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUCEIdgyfO
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVCP9q8rMC
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? 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOM4mvJsrV
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RBWGkbLN3

668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxTc0QlrsR
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabokGFw2wV
"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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbuKhlYOdO
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo8KdI24uX
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe76XswWOHo

668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1usWKcVa6s
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LXEKFQ6kp
"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."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2kZxjdohZ
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiCXuGnDOl
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXaAh8eXu3

668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSbwTQG6aO
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgOEB9lTt6
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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF16OQVaLrV
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OohIGDZr0

"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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxUqKAaq0k
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx41hkcOPm
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrkEd1wOIg
"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."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eB0vVZ1ph

668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkVWwZuD8b
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." 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJmX2q7QDy

668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52532dEt5p
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf5H148QRC
"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." 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIpt97c2aK

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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpscxSK8CPx

We received silence instead. This isn’t right. Then we heard someone panting and the sound of running feet. Could that be Lee? 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTzfElITcH

"He told me to run while he deals with Johnny himself. But to be honest, I hear noises behind me and I don’t know what’s going on. Darn it! I think he’s coming." We hear the sound of running feet again. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2myhCuvzWn

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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrJ2fEJBHW
