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. 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtrpisabDH

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.476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CGKwVsmBd

"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."476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpeKX343yD

"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.

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.476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynE6uQXzhI

"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.476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRmqj5fm4J

"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.476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hbO2nvgGX

"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."476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJMHMzLmgc

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.476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGOit1wB54

476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9IkbSECs3
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EgCSsjRjw
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. 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwZdSUE80T

Yong-guk paused as he looked at me, then suddenly looked away. What was he about to say just now? And is he blushing? 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy25L0yHNh
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7OGeATPAB
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55PkIRav08

476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynarzAzLnp
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxsgg729N0

476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2uRP6JZ5L
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlkvaoWRR7
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. 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptVO376Jjz

476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8c51twIP0

476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyEAWWKO5M
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIWP1PYL7F

476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oZNrfQ9YW
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzEwCOUjBA
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. 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGwBYEuGKh
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikjFWgur0W
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8upd1yvYWM
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? 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHagw3HIOt1
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvl0haIuty

476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU1uF5rwfb
"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. 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KsuFx7sXh
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTTfT5VMYF
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS9lzkCyPR

476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbQb9rljpI
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4PsUOBWTf
"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."476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdErthicnBb
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7EVixY59C
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakPAQxqfjF

476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmw7y2aktn
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.476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDln6Kmng6P
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68gXaHyZkJ

476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93nv3Q7K2z
"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. 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0fTjS7Avc
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgZ2VZ76MQ
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKlyNzloiY
"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."476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATPhS5z3M7

476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxena3AQ3VA
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." 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7JgaO1Qk0

476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEmYhrEaX0
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqxXtCzWmb
"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." 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nz8qWri96

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. 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRDh319JB2

We received silence instead. This isn’t right. Then we heard someone panting and the sound of running feet. Could that be Lee? 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDxZfA3frx

"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. 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNWx4VurBm

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. 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j19DVbkFe
