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. 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg6xpf5Fvq

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.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd6QgmzDNJ

"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."382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QWQ0Bm8vX

"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."382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7eX1n2b4F

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.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZjOtxIGye

"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.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11zY3KtQ8R

"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.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ342yNbNN8L

382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIFRAmfgqo
"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.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpVNwEiy64

"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."382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTqeBJp56g

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.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CEMs6YtaS

382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphng57Qhia
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNn9pxkS4c
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.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdAeRqZU1g

382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwnHqfb18i

382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp9INrijbf
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY9oDGtKXS
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. 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWBMk5Bed0

382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6JQ8dTufm
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGbDc3ThGB
"No," I honestly answered. I rubbed my cheeks with the palm of my hands. I turned to look at him. "Are you okay?" 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8O5u3kts2

382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBgRyvzZz2
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE093MCKnOI
Yong-guk paused as he looked at me, then suddenly looked away. What was he about to say just now? And is he blushing? 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVFdNfngSm
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8MHKmPL8H
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ2W3UCzpZ

382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUPkzrihfS
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhKYx8YzcS
"Nothing," he said, avoiding my eyes. "You better go in there." 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6JYKAonNp
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN5gnkMJkM
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu2eossvlE
"Ya, right," I quickly darted for the recording booth. I couldn't help but feel Yong-guk wanted to say something really important. 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYcAt0OyKq
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFthiApzN8e
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGad6pcpvyX

382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGevCZEZ87
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NoS1XlFkI
"She said she's on her way," I answered. "But you're right. I wonder what's holding her up." 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2bBRYecw7
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiGhcntSSS
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRKsqFXORD

382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUD4sU0FP6
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYQfdzkE6u
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. 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pn90eb6KS
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr8zSGeVo8
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5YqMUQ0B6

382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvEokHfbJm
"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?" 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdBitJtHBW
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m5BPg33up
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG8PvNrJM7
"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?" 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9raJebSvee
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZWffKdar7
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JzDOdwRTW
"Let's be quick about it, alright?" came the producer. "We don't want to waste any more time." 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWsQjuc28W
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw59wGzsyjO
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMj0kdF3nR
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. 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4ytmu0Kfz
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hhVRIBVib
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XuzrYEeZ1
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? 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFctqBLjafG
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMPMtfNhYf
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaV0Mwh1F0

382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUSyKZ1zep

382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHPvWEFmEp
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkXbgoN8K0

382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iWGm6oUVL
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct3byqscQ0
"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. 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh4Q1sg1Xa
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarIWSA95ov
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh9NqTw1oS
"I agree," the producer said through the mic. "I know you're worried, but we still have a lot to do with the song."382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTpblSTdzp
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNcRgEGnyO
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXv5AVC8o1
"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."382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi67VdKRVmg
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7sNODABSg
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTNfjqiEwq

382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOXW3pgw4O
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOG9FVumXr
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.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDMYk4leeD
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFTAhISIAz
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8S4v9SYWY

382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qDKvWw8PB
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe4cKX5laf

382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCgqoWVI3S
"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. 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaOhOUdzNt
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgWRWOel6V
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEKg89hUOH
"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."382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSRshwXBS2

382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61k1tHyue2
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." 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2IRJAN13F
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxK6ORzFDJ

382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyZqSaPWkB
"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." 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx2OYTwlJ5
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY5wTbGK7p
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvys2xksIdB
"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." 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsbqimhR5E
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE64JaTFpEn

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. 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT0nguti7W

We received silence instead. This isn’t right. Then we heard someone panting and the sound of running feet. Could that be Lee? 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL0MBmGtGL

"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. 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzFMzzUdrJ

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. 382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNGM6IrmFl
