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. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAXxwHQJnhoI
363Please respect copyright.PENANAnDzHTFJgtG
363Please respect copyright.PENANABLtBYQ5lHq
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. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAy20H2nygji

A lot of us understood what he meant. The fatigue is slowly starting to get to me too. 363Please respect copyright.PENANA0jFaYvzgBw

363Please respect copyright.PENANA0BLntyllDc
363Please respect copyright.PENANAXGnXHCOJcl

363Please respect copyright.PENANAJanEPVLRXO

363Please respect copyright.PENANAfhvN1tHS3l
363Please respect copyright.PENANADv7RhSCGth

363Please respect copyright.PENANAG6HWTiLLxc
363Please respect copyright.PENANAvIGkfBpAdE

363Please respect copyright.PENANA5c3UHstHLn
363Please respect copyright.PENANAIN66n2hJNA
"Be careful out there," Yong-guk said to us as we went for the door.363Please respect copyright.PENANAGGS023MAhL
363Please respect copyright.PENANA6lq67M7ytx
363Please respect copyright.PENANASgyC9opd1j

363Please respect copyright.PENANAtRrBkkfPCk
363Please respect copyright.PENANAKMk3ULEjrh
We found one of the guards standing by the door. The other guard who was with us last night must have escorted Lee.363Please respect copyright.PENANA9JuZjv5X6Q
363Please respect copyright.PENANA8sSRRJI6jW
363Please respect copyright.PENANAXIcOw9zfCa
"Going somewhere, ladies?" the guard asked.363Please respect copyright.PENANAL7KjE1gXJ1
363Please respect copyright.PENANA0qaLIU5uvs
363Please respect copyright.PENANAcPmyR9JALT

363Please respect copyright.PENANA3YQoM06qBN
363Please respect copyright.PENANATGs1eyPSme
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.363Please respect copyright.PENANAcOSFBRWEy7
363Please respect copyright.PENANAM11KE0na9f
363Please respect copyright.PENANAlOP2ucaFzD
"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. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAwacPJBydMl
363Please respect copyright.PENANAPBguQmz8OP
363Please respect copyright.PENANAwkIpwj61i9
"Um…, I seriously just want to go," said Christine as she entered one of the stalls. I went into the other one.363Please respect copyright.PENANAADbSymBCmO
363Please respect copyright.PENANAFKLvNAi2nI
363Please respect copyright.PENANAB4T3LWulxT

363Please respect copyright.PENANAgEX7J29cCv
363Please respect copyright.PENANAiWKXTxPlGo
"What is running through your mind, Zoey?" I asked as I drew my pants down to take a leak.363Please respect copyright.PENANAcJuvVXvJKL
363Please respect copyright.PENANA2o2TlvfLuN
363Please respect copyright.PENANAE0UZhW8Cs3

363Please respect copyright.PENANAHbZxfKWfp5
363Please respect copyright.PENANA4KwJsMmXcz
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.363Please respect copyright.PENANAyrxNfpYEyP
363Please respect copyright.PENANAkjBP3aZnlM
363Please respect copyright.PENANAjdCJzLDjZY
"You’re lying, Zoey," I said as I passed her to wash my hands by the sinks.363Please respect copyright.PENANApVdx4dAWiC
363Please respect copyright.PENANAN6LwRDAVaW
363Please respect copyright.PENANAl8Rb4JqQdF

363Please respect copyright.PENANAokkke51AGo
363Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ461FdpMf
"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."363Please respect copyright.PENANARuHN08onBp
363Please respect copyright.PENANAskTzbj1J1P
363Please respect copyright.PENANAp8H9NxPtaA
"Okay, you caught me," she said, raising her hands in surrender. "I really want to get him and squeeze his neck."363Please respect copyright.PENANAdUSFBw0yYs
363Please respect copyright.PENANAD7LkNA0liC
363Please respect copyright.PENANAJFuoV1xdXm
"That’s called murder, Zoey," said Christine from her stall. The sound of the flushing toilet came afterwards.363Please respect copyright.PENANA0u49kIblLO
363Please respect copyright.PENANAviAwJsESCR
363Please respect copyright.PENANA05AY143Oiy
"Fine, I want to teach him a lesson so that he won’t have to come after us again," she said.363Please respect copyright.PENANAN5rACv4Rzw
363Please respect copyright.PENANACDuubaXLZb
363Please respect copyright.PENANACtZyuGj7sK
"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?"363Please respect copyright.PENANAa14iF70QsR
363Please respect copyright.PENANAZEZLhuRNmN
363Please respect copyright.PENANAY4lkKOKitQ

363Please respect copyright.PENANANTnhyI6zrN
363Please respect copyright.PENANAqUiqJuQjJ5
"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."363Please respect copyright.PENANAU5UoT5fgmY
363Please respect copyright.PENANAbkZLSn6AlP
363Please respect copyright.PENANAcg0oasoj0T
"I'm not obsessing over him!"363Please respect copyright.PENANA2yAZUvAl44
363Please respect copyright.PENANAgfApMllcNC
363Please respect copyright.PENANAQYYPaRduZR
"You want to squeeze his neck," said Christine as she turned to look at her. "That sounds like obsession."363Please respect copyright.PENANAIabXsSlfYL
363Please respect copyright.PENANAqTwpiY5P3d
363Please respect copyright.PENANArFR5hSwZNU
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?"363Please respect copyright.PENANAwgYekUWdHU
363Please respect copyright.PENANAnFALggtszQ
363Please respect copyright.PENANAWjCvDbgdqs
"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."363Please respect copyright.PENANAQdRtA4qPZ1
363Please respect copyright.PENANAxPdxm7aJlX
363Please respect copyright.PENANAAX11jTZhSB
Zoey folded her arms. "I don’t think the guards can do a better job at dealing with Johnny than we can."363Please respect copyright.PENANABSZJinOVy0
363Please respect copyright.PENANA81bd946CAq
363Please respect copyright.PENANAAnEkOW1t1c
"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."363Please respect copyright.PENANAEvLRLwOAN3
363Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1BDAuQr6q
363Please respect copyright.PENANAFKiDNKwxRH
"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."363Please respect copyright.PENANANu4DoARpYH
363Please respect copyright.PENANAotLGwIFe6n
363Please respect copyright.PENANACbFucDZfTJ
I chuckled. "Did you really have to put it like that, Christine?"363Please respect copyright.PENANAh91MXZgffF
363Please respect copyright.PENANAE2p9iqe3I9
363Please respect copyright.PENANAnXM0RsZQaA
"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."363Please respect copyright.PENANAdehzuufw78
363Please respect copyright.PENANA6MlUqdfAVM
363Please respect copyright.PENANAznUMBo0BrA
"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."363Please respect copyright.PENANAZ34f4YTfDU
363Please respect copyright.PENANAv9f7blqJLH
363Please respect copyright.PENANAzYYN8U5kwl
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.363Please respect copyright.PENANAWgI3Lw0vvB
363Please respect copyright.PENANAGz26Je4fGW
363Please respect copyright.PENANAs10Zg1uQ6M
"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."363Please respect copyright.PENANA7syYNDtxqH
363Please respect copyright.PENANAy1q032tMiI
363Please respect copyright.PENANAzwHs9FsGXi
Zoey cheered out a "Yes" while Christine groaned.363Please respect copyright.PENANAhmYnYMxC5w
363Please respect copyright.PENANAI66WheJFCD
363Please respect copyright.PENANAbtCixd7HbP
"But if we’re going to do this, then the others have to know too," I quickly added.363Please respect copyright.PENANAw0LpmZBKbY
363Please respect copyright.PENANASISwEBns4L
363Please respect copyright.PENANAmORRNwDbyQ
The mood on Zoey’s face suddenly vanished. "What do you mean we have to involve the others?"363Please respect copyright.PENANAUIyWcZAzM1
363Please respect copyright.PENANAKbaS18lOsx

363Please respect copyright.PENANAfw197Fy5nB
363Please respect copyright.PENANAODJG58e7jC
"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."363Please respect copyright.PENANADAag1UwLSB
363Please respect copyright.PENANApOl01lSb23
363Please respect copyright.PENANAE0bvVNGPWY
"I hate to admit, but you do know Lee well, don’t you, Sam?" Christine asked.363Please respect copyright.PENANAjYGyoSQDL7
363Please respect copyright.PENANANAYlGqWo8H
363Please respect copyright.PENANAmZIUYtvFzj

363Please respect copyright.PENANA0KBaLy03nZ
363Please respect copyright.PENANAJtsGPowfmu
"So Sam is on board," said Zoey, "if - and that's a big if - Johnny messes with the album. How about you, Christine?"363Please respect copyright.PENANAPSRjtlk7dU
363Please respect copyright.PENANA4ClBCmrgFC
363Please respect copyright.PENANAhnokDXP0Nh
"I’m already in," said Christine. "Like Sam said, we would all want to get our hands on him if he does such."363Please respect copyright.PENANAOd3Zy4nqy7
363Please respect copyright.PENANASBj1fkVSy4
363Please respect copyright.PENANAiAOEHfL4Z1

363Please respect copyright.PENANAISpukyEski
363Please respect copyright.PENANAn6A1cLmo5A

363Please respect copyright.PENANAmYE3eMZIjj
363Please respect copyright.PENANA9cxV6J3aeN
"Typical," Christine said, rolling her eyes at Zoey. She turned to look at me. "Do you really think he can do it?"363Please respect copyright.PENANAWiRluVnc3z
363Please respect copyright.PENANA9D50sHnyXs
363Please respect copyright.PENANAvlmeCr62MG
"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."363Please respect copyright.PENANAg5HEcSJCdF
363Please respect copyright.PENANAmF6qiBAMB7
363Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3DIxfJGZG

363Please respect copyright.PENANAJKJy5mD6Jx
363Please respect copyright.PENANAZOPxlIJOyJ
Zoey soon flushed and seconds later she came out to wash her hands in the sink. 363Please respect copyright.PENANA33Du7ViTOZ
363Please respect copyright.PENANAujwzc1NR3Y
363Please respect copyright.PENANAe15XdYLIJx
"Of course, he’s serious," said Zoey. "I just fear that he may hold a gun to our heads." 363Please respect copyright.PENANAiAl2Lf4NQD
363Please respect copyright.PENANASlGMNXnc6L
363Please respect copyright.PENANAlN1Gfd6n0w

363Please respect copyright.PENANA6WuNoqrRz7
363Please respect copyright.PENANAZpeOrLfCBt
"But it’s could be a possibility," I said. "Johnny does like to take things a little too far from time to time."363Please respect copyright.PENANAQZdtxl4JuM
363Please respect copyright.PENANArIIoUghlc0
363Please respect copyright.PENANAx15EiT18bJ

363Please respect copyright.PENANAZFUV4fKknW
363Please respect copyright.PENANAen3y76BQZD
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. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAKerxj3Y5Jl

363Please respect copyright.PENANA1wbtcgC3wN
363Please respect copyright.PENANA2zF4bP4fr0

363Please respect copyright.PENANAyLrx4smPGX
363Please respect copyright.PENANAOgLYZmXeSD
"No, not yet," said Jinwoo as he stood from where he sat and walked up to us. "Strange that she isn't here."363Please respect copyright.PENANAN3acbxm9iB
363Please respect copyright.PENANA4Yt2dtsQX9
363Please respect copyright.PENANAuiPy0SpzTp
He's right. I would like to know that she's alright, so I pull out my phone to give her a call. 363Please respect copyright.PENANA7ehmpX76SQ
363Please respect copyright.PENANAW5fc2c25zU
363Please respect copyright.PENANA9dssf3CRQr

363Please respect copyright.PENANAwAaMxCTnXy
363Please respect copyright.PENANAfXJ3bzXgOG
"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."363Please respect copyright.PENANA4U1ZcVRXpt
363Please respect copyright.PENANAzfAgH8W7sv
363Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0MPUMDpaR

363Please respect copyright.PENANAS5LKOa9hq1
363Please respect copyright.PENANALBq2982xFV
"They still haven't got him?" Jisoo asked immediately I cut the call. "How is he that difficult to catch?"363Please respect copyright.PENANAF3qSeaXDqZ
363Please respect copyright.PENANAFbgJt5VU4Y
363Please respect copyright.PENANARb6nNdZYiB
"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."363Please respect copyright.PENANABXPm8mSOvx
363Please respect copyright.PENANAfarDzb6ZSe

363Please respect copyright.PENANA7ybi2ShUnl
363Please respect copyright.PENANARiOusrS77K

363Please respect copyright.PENANATPie0hYQSF
363Please respect copyright.PENANAu0Yzo2VGcb
"In a few minutes," he answered with a smile.363Please respect copyright.PENANA7EaIgFoirW
363Please respect copyright.PENANAwyAPrJUPQZ
363Please respect copyright.PENANAxer9TRXo0A
"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.363Please respect copyright.PENANALPLXolWJzC
363Please respect copyright.PENANAg2wa5OJimX
363Please respect copyright.PENANAIg7zlVImDl

363Please respect copyright.PENANA9toVDu2UF7
363Please respect copyright.PENANAxAcCTpKYwQ
"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."363Please respect copyright.PENANAI0gnijqNWi
363Please respect copyright.PENANAkFMSDLcBlO
363Please respect copyright.PENANAA4PWy4viAq

363Please respect copyright.PENANA9seqEehMQl
"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.363Please respect copyright.PENANAVWCkJmP1HE

363Please respect copyright.PENANACs7SHzC0j5
"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.363Please respect copyright.PENANAEyXlVXioJb

363Please respect copyright.PENANAaOxA5tFGlh
363Please respect copyright.PENANAfzhppJUBw5

363Please respect copyright.PENANAPh9VnpjLXG
"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."363Please respect copyright.PENANACBHQuNQFvn
363Please respect copyright.PENANA40IzjwaWBh
363Please respect copyright.PENANAig3IH2xs3t
"I know, right?" Jennie asked. "They seem like a match made in heaven."363Please respect copyright.PENANAfalpfJydCi

"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.363Please respect copyright.PENANAbuq8IPYzh3
363Please respect copyright.PENANAaKO7e4tGFR
363Please respect copyright.PENANAY2CWZpKJSf
"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."363Please respect copyright.PENANAXDbU9SgwY5
363Please respect copyright.PENANAAftgs4mv6f
363Please respect copyright.PENANArSqlmVCyy8
"Really?" Jisoo asked.363Please respect copyright.PENANAnktJaLxSRN
363Please respect copyright.PENANAuPZpdaPb2R
363Please respect copyright.PENANAU8r272Mp4s
"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."363Please respect copyright.PENANAgWl0M5wKvm
363Please respect copyright.PENANAFGvT6ztXYe
363Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9Ns3Wl9jG
"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."363Please respect copyright.PENANAzI1xc9AUcM
363Please respect copyright.PENANAIMN5h763v2
363Please respect copyright.PENANA101cINspNU
"I had no idea four of the BigBang members like her," said Lisa, finding all this amusing that she put her phone aside.363Please respect copyright.PENANAGLlK7ysRNU
363Please respect copyright.PENANA0lNKWpTvHs
363Please respect copyright.PENANAYefdsTVYe5
"You better believe it," said Zoey. "Daesung and GD are head over heels in love with her."363Please respect copyright.PENANAQ37u0cuChx
363Please respect copyright.PENANAjtZKOnfZ22
363Please respect copyright.PENANAAN0gZCBMoe
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.363Please respect copyright.PENANATZDDPcUj7b
363Please respect copyright.PENANAO8fZESVzax
363Please respect copyright.PENANAjL3p4dlXfy
"Enough, people," said Yong-guk as he quickly stood up from his seat. "Let's get to work!"363Please respect copyright.PENANAjLjcweL8OR
363Please respect copyright.PENANA0RWcgPMj6U
363Please respect copyright.PENANAsZIZ3pSyII
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.363Please respect copyright.PENANAqBxwa6muUP
363Please respect copyright.PENANAtAVZeCRRzT
363Please respect copyright.PENANAUZyxpwonpi
"You really squeezed me too hard," I said, looking up at him.363Please respect copyright.PENANAwCc6ybXpnJ
363Please respect copyright.PENANA4n2iEjLBQj
363Please respect copyright.PENANAGqe5hvw9w1
"I'm so sorry," he said, looking very apologetic as he quickly clapped his hands together.363Please respect copyright.PENANA3b4MT9V5xH
363Please respect copyright.PENANA27RSvB4WZj
363Please respect copyright.PENANA5gbyeTFczp
"This conversation was just getting good, Yong-guk," said Rose. "Why did you have to ruin it all of a sudden?"363Please respect copyright.PENANA91mnDu70po
363Please respect copyright.PENANAtRYunUNyAl
363Please respect copyright.PENANApX7VAh3yxz
"Because we don't have time on our hands," Yong-guk answered.363Please respect copyright.PENANAdwtJFQRH6v
363Please respect copyright.PENANA2ni7nEzhZc
363Please respect copyright.PENANAdodS2owZVs
"I agree," said Mike. "Let's finish the song and move on."363Please respect copyright.PENANAbRjfA6TqRY
363Please respect copyright.PENANArbUPFgQtk1
363Please respect copyright.PENANApfBsAUImel
"You've plenty to tell us, Sam," said Jennie as she quickly came to stand next to me.363Please respect copyright.PENANAFjcghLsfRm
363Please respect copyright.PENANArqveCLwTuC
363Please respect copyright.PENANAt9OGkiJD44
"I like to have my love life private," I said.363Please respect copyright.PENANAQUIz7X6wfc
363Please respect copyright.PENANAaLiGIJWuk3
363Please respect copyright.PENANAq39q0Ypnng
"Okay, enough about my sister's love life, please," said Daniel.363Please respect copyright.PENANAvuFSxKPLhD
363Please respect copyright.PENANAfc1BmejyCP
363Please respect copyright.PENANAVXNZNB79sS
"Ya, we've better things to worry about," said Seungyoon. "You girls can talk about it later." 363Please respect copyright.PENANAvviFClLDIY
363Please respect copyright.PENANAy7leGmR55Z
363Please respect copyright.PENANAqCGGxSz7qF
"OK, fine," said Rose. "But this was getting interesting." 363Please respect copyright.PENANA9tX2yg9xja
363Please respect copyright.PENANAw78UFgHz75
363Please respect copyright.PENANAmR3s0jmsIb
"Totally interesting," said Lisa. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAx3Y8Mh0qPu
363Please respect copyright.PENANAJdF9dNswng
363Please respect copyright.PENANAEwVrN58o1C
"Everyone, to the recording booth, please," the producer now chirped in. "We need to be done with this before the day ends." 363Please respect copyright.PENANACQLkE3VwYP
363Please respect copyright.PENANA8xcdnyJgIs
363Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZGGInMVoB
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. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAplA41k4pxa
363Please respect copyright.PENANAe6NLD1PZLD
363Please respect copyright.PENANATocjjJhWLp
"Hey, are you okay?" Yong-guk asked after Jennie and Seunghoon left my side. 363Please respect copyright.PENANArzBH0E7Fls
363Please respect copyright.PENANAfrLzjwsoc2
363Please respect copyright.PENANAKiXE0gdw8O
"No," I honestly answered. I rubbed my cheeks with the palm of my hands. I turned to look at him. "Are you okay?" 363Please respect copyright.PENANAAOGumczAv5
363Please respect copyright.PENANAASZxIjOwQt
363Please respect copyright.PENANAR7BKpzCFTP
"Not really." 363Please respect copyright.PENANAJuBy1aAVr8
363Please respect copyright.PENANAOuMFEqY9Vl
363Please respect copyright.PENANA1hhYmBKIrK
"These guys really embarrassed us, huh?" 363Please respect copyright.PENANAp6FEkVWLXB
363Please respect copyright.PENANAs0BHj92CuY
363Please respect copyright.PENANAfeiLNTGEer
"Very much." 363Please respect copyright.PENANAR9ba0mHYDN
363Please respect copyright.PENANAqjhsxOHYCM
363Please respect copyright.PENANAtFwdnfgBRI
"Well, I better get in there. I'm sorry for what happened." 363Please respect copyright.PENANAGKWO9oxZkw
363Please respect copyright.PENANAOVAChpp0rx
363Please respect copyright.PENANAsxT2z3yIA3
"Oh, don't worry about it. As much as they were joking around, I can't help but feel that...." 363Please respect copyright.PENANAW3Vy2nto5A
363Please respect copyright.PENANA3oajek1xgw
363Please respect copyright.PENANAbroZExBYww
Yong-guk paused as he looked at me, then suddenly looked away. What was he about to say just now? And is he blushing? 363Please respect copyright.PENANAsAlCqfI8dd
363Please respect copyright.PENANA3efLhiNXUD
363Please respect copyright.PENANAtAS7U6VFlG
"What were you going to say?" I asked. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAacEOaPgrqp
363Please respect copyright.PENANAjGX5QotDQk
363Please respect copyright.PENANAyuhDNe57BQ
"Nothing," he said, avoiding my eyes. "You better go in there." 363Please respect copyright.PENANAXAbzttfaZC
363Please respect copyright.PENANAnWWhHJ0hjT
363Please respect copyright.PENANAzNf991nFaY
"Ya, right," I quickly darted for the recording booth. I couldn't help but feel Yong-guk wanted to say something really important. 363Please respect copyright.PENANADb8DJjj1tl
363Please respect copyright.PENANAGTSiSF6CrG
363Please respect copyright.PENANAQboDM2F4Y8
"Hey, isn't Lee supposed to be back by now?" Mike asked me as soon as I entered the booth. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAEzR06ZYPUy
363Please respect copyright.PENANAnqhDC1qKzj
363Please respect copyright.PENANAB9Vt1X0F4h
"She said she's on her way," I answered. "But you're right. I wonder what's holding her up." 363Please respect copyright.PENANA3ebE3AS3N5
363Please respect copyright.PENANA98n3criLkq
363Please respect copyright.PENANAX7X56hZf2J
"Could Johnny and her have met?" Zoey asked. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAuTGrehIQvO
363Please respect copyright.PENANANoHcdMgVTA
363Please respect copyright.PENANAPRFetwotql
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. 363Please respect copyright.PENANA06Juuiqm7z
363Please respect copyright.PENANAXrDK1bEj0D
363Please respect copyright.PENANA6GTLMh9L3g
"Let us not worry too much," said Daniel. "She did leave with the guard, right? She'll be back before we know it." 363Please respect copyright.PENANAz0ZKsGs37Q
363Please respect copyright.PENANAMV5GA6Om8i
363Please respect copyright.PENANAQGQbPxVtEK
"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?" 363Please respect copyright.PENANAMZUDa01php
363Please respect copyright.PENANAz8EgTkPM2l
363Please respect copyright.PENANA5ojELHJ1Xa
"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?" 363Please respect copyright.PENANAdwnf0Lwvwx
363Please respect copyright.PENANA1zbAV87zxa
363Please respect copyright.PENANAdvXP9sPTVn
"Let's be quick about it, alright?" came the producer. "We don't want to waste any more time." 363Please respect copyright.PENANAM8kWg2dzYJ
363Please respect copyright.PENANAaEwew6Pfsf
363Please respect copyright.PENANAD3LoVZ4mcp
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. 363Please respect copyright.PENANASYFrzGPZ51
363Please respect copyright.PENANArOLjw49FNS
363Please respect copyright.PENANAxxSvmy1Ox7
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? 363Please respect copyright.PENANAMRkhFfG7s0
363Please respect copyright.PENANAqTOlrCZU9h
363Please respect copyright.PENANAU0RoAhj4RF
"She isn't picking up," I announced after the line couldn't connect. 363Please respect copyright.PENANA1zb328YNHC
363Please respect copyright.PENANAGeE2phurij
363Please respect copyright.PENANA3HgLsBNWp9
"Where could she be?" Jinwoo asked. "Now I'm starting to think of the worst." 363Please respect copyright.PENANArVkAMRSZzs
363Please respect copyright.PENANAFdbeqfdeDn
363Please respect copyright.PENANAgNMkib3A9X
"Same here," said Christine. 363Please respect copyright.PENANA7eZNSrBIDu
363Please respect copyright.PENANAbqPUk25BGe
363Please respect copyright.PENANAeictsWPztt
"Maybe we go out and look for her?" Jennie suggested. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ5m0mxFMS
363Please respect copyright.PENANAVOUpB2SjSF
363Please respect copyright.PENANA76LXRUDVck
"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. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAuMYzWhR9Sz
363Please respect copyright.PENANAkf1fpDRUzc
363Please respect copyright.PENANA5YLMEtXHAn
"I agree," the producer said through the mic. "I know you're worried, but we still have a lot to do with the song."363Please respect copyright.PENANAyPT5S08jux
363Please respect copyright.PENANAP3XfHydhAr
363Please respect copyright.PENANA0H7hUaXFJy
"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."363Please respect copyright.PENANAE5pluepgNz
363Please respect copyright.PENANApagUNWqJuW
363Please respect copyright.PENANAItq0G8Bbzs
"Works well for me," said Zoey as she quickly put on her headphones. "Let's get to work, people." 363Please respect copyright.PENANAn1HmL9kPed
363Please respect copyright.PENANAulkv7zbTdu
363Please respect copyright.PENANAfhTC1y4hYF
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.363Please respect copyright.PENANAWFUq0IXbWy
363Please respect copyright.PENANAQkLKeepeQ7
363Please respect copyright.PENANAamMYNw6vQD
We were finally done and it took almost an hour and thirty minutes.363Please respect copyright.PENANAS7q6G4aDIr
363Please respect copyright.PENANAf1qTOEO0i7
363Please respect copyright.PENANAloYA8eR8Q1
"Okay, now that we're done," said the producer, "you can do whatever you want."363Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6bhoevtmg
363Please respect copyright.PENANAn8KP4irSub
363Please respect copyright.PENANAVZH5MQnsrk
"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. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAODKUZA6IVI
363Please respect copyright.PENANAsNR4l5n9md
363Please respect copyright.PENANA2QRnT9JZxI
"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."363Please respect copyright.PENANA2Qih7WvRF0
363Please respect copyright.PENANAGy69LZpQIY
363Please respect copyright.PENANAw3qAua25Rg
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." 363Please respect copyright.PENANAsrhOwtk0uD
363Please respect copyright.PENANAOJNMwYy2lL
363Please respect copyright.PENANACAIjVW43e5
"What! We're on lockdown!" Seunghoon asked. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAIUfTqx4Re9
363Please respect copyright.PENANAhZrenFKm8x
363Please respect copyright.PENANAoVZ5MmLKNP
"And you knew?" Mike asked. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAPPMvpFDEQ4
363Please respect copyright.PENANAO50rj7hHru
363Please respect copyright.PENANA18UZ0BCJ2G
"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." 363Please respect copyright.PENANAbU4W61jfgl
363Please respect copyright.PENANAdA0o7O3HLQ
363Please respect copyright.PENANA0KYLCmOwZV
"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." 363Please respect copyright.PENANA12gH9jiLB6
363Please respect copyright.PENANAhp7b4cZzXW
363Please respect copyright.PENANAeZDg68yoLl
"Lockdown or not, we need to find Lee," said Zoey. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAoJV3PD2V6x
363Please respect copyright.PENANADJpv5cgHJc
363Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZLgksr8as
"Okay, but like Yong-guk said, we all can't go," I said. 363Please respect copyright.PENANA5mfONwANAp
363Please respect copyright.PENANAb9OmPzaswh
363Please respect copyright.PENANAOQ9SK4pKiK
"Okay, then who wants to go out and look for her?" Mike asked. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAT46l5AYzQy
363Please respect copyright.PENANAyomMqtpXHd
363Please respect copyright.PENANAtjavcfTg3U
Everyone in the booth, including myself raised hands. We all looked at each other. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAA36vVxAoxO
363Please respect copyright.PENANA81S1QdKM1D
363Please respect copyright.PENANAun0CN1Rt1z
"Well, this is going to be tough," said the producer, who looked on. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAAAk1PwhRU7
363Please respect copyright.PENANAIEV4CVyGZ7
363Please respect copyright.PENANAdDGRQjsFv1
"Why can't we all go?" Jennie asked. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAk7SYKplfMN
363Please respect copyright.PENANAVO6p9Qwfdq
363Please respect copyright.PENANA70PzQAKuX2
"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." 363Please respect copyright.PENANAldiPDC3n3G
363Please respect copyright.PENANAZXIKgz3a7i
363Please respect copyright.PENANAIydACu1RTy
"Well, no one is stopping me from going," said Zoey as she folded her arms. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAsCRB3RB1Lz
363Please respect copyright.PENANA0GIy6AltcB
363Please respect copyright.PENANAR77QZ6dWte
"We know," the rest of us said at the same time. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAWmVD7iQWY7
363Please respect copyright.PENANAbnZJ7Q4jJC
363Please respect copyright.PENANA01a08kSOLR
"Fine, each member from each group will go," said Yong-guk. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAq3axjpmGHg
363Please respect copyright.PENANAaZFok5oXAN
363Please respect copyright.PENANAhUJ14eVKx8
"But that means only three go," said Jisoo. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAVOdoaDwd5A
363Please respect copyright.PENANAYnyXYVrAZX
363Please respect copyright.PENANAD4W6qqr2pm
"I think we need to add two more," I suggested. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAwKJYa1qGpC
363Please respect copyright.PENANAfW0BDUnPSk
363Please respect copyright.PENANADtbpnduZ4b
"Okay, I want to go look for her," said Seunghoon. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAs4YNHW5Eye
363Please respect copyright.PENANASyC8p5q4lC
363Please respect copyright.PENANAbdxeQSA5St
"I'll go too," said Jisoo. 363Please respect copyright.PENANASXn7HpMJPk
363Please respect copyright.PENANA01pVwC3VPL
363Please respect copyright.PENANArPcRK8LpEM
"Okay, now two people will have to join in," I said. "Who is willing to go?" 363Please respect copyright.PENANAs8KWItL1S6
363Please respect copyright.PENANAXCNzp5Q4XE
363Please respect copyright.PENANAAV4c9PPamH
"I'll go," said Mino. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAQEIgCFQO9s
363Please respect copyright.PENANA5WL6usPKyy
363Please respect copyright.PENANAxVK8v5pry3
"One more left," said Yong-guk. "I think Sam should go." 363Please respect copyright.PENANA3CUa7InXt3
363Please respect copyright.PENANAMoQ6qjVxSM
363Please respect copyright.PENANAg4xcICCbfD
"Me?" I raised an eyebrow at him. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAUpjrtOlb4s
363Please respect copyright.PENANAlli0SEjnah
363Please respect copyright.PENANA8gAsAlBUwv
"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." 363Please respect copyright.PENANAcDmv6pDy1M
363Please respect copyright.PENANAEyPJ6wyiZi
363Please respect copyright.PENANArKzl5vHUJD
"You're forgetting that Zoey is just as good as figuring him out as me," I point out. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAME5ll3s59K
363Please respect copyright.PENANA6et3wA1vDy
363Please respect copyright.PENANATwzIQ8ElkV
"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?" 363Please respect copyright.PENANAvHVJpyoKP8
363Please respect copyright.PENANAU0Tx5kqZmr
363Please respect copyright.PENANARpcvUedGXp
"That's exactly what you’ll do," Mike told her. Zoey hissed at him while Daniel laughed. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAbjPh9yJm0Z
363Please respect copyright.PENANAF0qgy4qUxR
363Please respect copyright.PENANAf3D5P1IsaB
"I agree with Zoey," said Yong-guk. "You’ve to go, Sam. And just like you said, the fewer who go, the better." 363Please respect copyright.PENANAEkbyqOK8zQ
363Please respect copyright.PENANAVstx90rrzp
363Please respect copyright.PENANAyYBO2hWjC5
"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." 363Please respect copyright.PENANAhYVgDbWpSK
363Please respect copyright.PENANAWAGiIUZ0zV
363Please respect copyright.PENANAJpNFWvW72P
"Go ahead," said Seungyoon. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAvlNZIWa7cs
363Please respect copyright.PENANASPo9HX8j6p
363Please respect copyright.PENANAwdS5sXPK00
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. 363Please respect copyright.PENANA6fYQADGGKR
363Please respect copyright.PENANAlrdNEPBVoi
363Please respect copyright.PENANAuQMxbBzxhG
Just as it was about to cut, she finally answered. Thank goodness. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAVJleK5t4bw
363Please respect copyright.PENANA5K4LI9LzCB
363Please respect copyright.PENANAQpSJk4EyD8
"Lee, are you there?" I asked. I put the phone on loud so that everyone could hear. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAcXrySabbRU
363Please respect copyright.PENANAcPhXSWDHEt
363Please respect copyright.PENANAIUcthw8Kb1
We received silence instead. This isn’t right. Then we heard someone panting and the sound of running feet. Could that be Lee? 363Please respect copyright.PENANA3U8p9LsnFb
363Please respect copyright.PENANAOCh6gkccV8
363Please respect copyright.PENANAj5nvxrF5h7
"Lee, answer me. Are you there?" I asked again, this time I’m the one who is anxious. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAFWQcBekasb
363Please respect copyright.PENANADp7FEneLeD
363Please respect copyright.PENANAxi6DsgpNlJ
"Sam?" Lee called. The sound in her voice was that of someone scared. "Are you there?" 363Please respect copyright.PENANA9IzmuXEhgR
363Please respect copyright.PENANAbd218KjkDZ
363Please respect copyright.PENANAUFgQyUI6wX
"Where are you? And are you running?" 363Please respect copyright.PENANAlhPoBuwcHn
363Please respect copyright.PENANAq5TlohElTN
363Please respect copyright.PENANAZj1z5XFEYa
"It’s Johnny," she now whispered. "I don’t know how he caught up to me, but he’s here." 363Please respect copyright.PENANAoeedbhvnRg
363Please respect copyright.PENANAKPoFknMe91
363Please respect copyright.PENANAegLCDYWyAt

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. 363Please respect copyright.PENANAq9Pp7Yuq6H
