"Okay, guys, let’s take a few minutes break and continue afterwards," Yong-guk spoke into the microphone. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAe9Lo7xdJII

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. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAS9bI1bsSDu
161Please respect copyright.PENANAGLpRgAzO64
161Please respect copyright.PENANA79V2t50PvQ
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. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAkgWrd6I92Y

"I need to use the ladies’ room," said Zoey. "Sam, will you escort me?"161Please respect copyright.PENANALYj7egqa5i
161Please respect copyright.PENANAwuU7AgFsiq
161Please respect copyright.PENANAOwWAuGpC8k

161Please respect copyright.PENANAbk6Oq53Evt

The other three members said they were okay.161Please respect copyright.PENANAsXLBmESvzn
161Please respect copyright.PENANADjl3G4InJA
161Please respect copyright.PENANAOc9oPzVM4i

161Please respect copyright.PENANAZIeysMsbxH
161Please respect copyright.PENANATOjTk0TncQ
"Be careful out there," Yong-guk said to us as we went for the door.161Please respect copyright.PENANAl4eOEKFaxz
161Please respect copyright.PENANAHpEeiWYlpb
161Please respect copyright.PENANAisUd9eYcxm

161Please respect copyright.PENANAuKU72SVUKn
161Please respect copyright.PENANAaGw5KOdd9R
We found one of the guards standing by the door. The other guard who was with us last night must have escorted Lee.161Please respect copyright.PENANAAm0PtDn9AZ
161Please respect copyright.PENANAXjkWAUMFhf
161Please respect copyright.PENANAIhstjqjPrC
"Going somewhere, ladies?" the guard asked.161Please respect copyright.PENANAKUf7pd9g8W
161Please respect copyright.PENANAhU3O87dNJ6
161Please respect copyright.PENANAXqvbJhHC04

161Please respect copyright.PENANA4UsEeqefFv
161Please respect copyright.PENANAvObk0eBlnR
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.161Please respect copyright.PENANAXf4mclkWOp
161Please respect copyright.PENANA0ydU1XT8ZL
161Please respect copyright.PENANAxLFuMvsGgv
"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. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAmql5xSKMm7
161Please respect copyright.PENANASfTOKe5sYe
161Please respect copyright.PENANAetnVnMvRal
"Um…, I seriously just want to go," said Christine as she entered one of the stalls. I went into the other one.161Please respect copyright.PENANAhmcWj5gCU7
161Please respect copyright.PENANAik0A0wM2IC
161Please respect copyright.PENANAJnNIJKBzbg

161Please respect copyright.PENANA9X0MfFOsWW
161Please respect copyright.PENANAjVJzVtDdMX
"What is running through your mind, Zoey?" I asked as I drew my pants down to take a leak.161Please respect copyright.PENANAx1wkDWPFTt
161Please respect copyright.PENANAYo7gFj64Tc
161Please respect copyright.PENANABraAS9jNIr
"Oh, nothing. I was planning to just stay in here for a while and take some time to myself."161Please respect copyright.PENANAK0GAnqIVVC
161Please respect copyright.PENANAdrGVwOtBbn
161Please respect copyright.PENANAj1M2VpehuE
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.161Please respect copyright.PENANAo5QsjH21WB
161Please respect copyright.PENANAvcmzK5KtIB
161Please respect copyright.PENANATiRgmv2zXT
"You’re lying, Zoey," I said as I passed her to wash my hands by the sinks.161Please respect copyright.PENANAANJh4A3qOV
161Please respect copyright.PENANAbxLxW2B0FI
161Please respect copyright.PENANAyPTUY9Q069

161Please respect copyright.PENANArgoPoiPGAR
161Please respect copyright.PENANADXG8UmJ89w
"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."161Please respect copyright.PENANAzTrzeHWr8w
161Please respect copyright.PENANAGq2MGjXCVg
161Please respect copyright.PENANATcyQgVwyXQ
"Okay, you caught me," she said, raising her hands in surrender. "I really want to get him and squeeze his neck."161Please respect copyright.PENANAmqFyrzKLCk
161Please respect copyright.PENANADsXTuZKcFg
161Please respect copyright.PENANAwGSqyM8LH6
"That’s called murder, Zoey," said Christine from her stall. The sound of the flushing toilet came afterwards.161Please respect copyright.PENANAWLbbvitTF7
161Please respect copyright.PENANA9TUCZN5hQm
161Please respect copyright.PENANA0WQdevAWLI
"Fine, I want to teach him a lesson so that he won’t have to come after us again," she said.161Please respect copyright.PENANA63HpyYCyfB
161Please respect copyright.PENANAO17EuoCFT0
161Please respect copyright.PENANA7dElmlxxgq
"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?"161Please respect copyright.PENANA4V355bFcjy
161Please respect copyright.PENANAUqvPsTEZYp
161Please respect copyright.PENANAwSKnx5dPBw

161Please respect copyright.PENANAGsV5N15Qyl
161Please respect copyright.PENANA41n9yfHcfc
"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."161Please respect copyright.PENANAsvJLrpuJKy
161Please respect copyright.PENANAsT7vLd7fAZ
161Please respect copyright.PENANAKKLl4N0bL8
"I'm not obsessing over him!"161Please respect copyright.PENANA1JGMa41DW5
161Please respect copyright.PENANAuQBMLKc1Z9
161Please respect copyright.PENANAscEX9APckY
"You want to squeeze his neck," said Christine as she turned to look at her. "That sounds like obsession."161Please respect copyright.PENANAuxhTwa8gt2
161Please respect copyright.PENANA2MUbRyJP5w
161Please respect copyright.PENANAZIJTFExMTI
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?"161Please respect copyright.PENANADal76P3fPx
161Please respect copyright.PENANAT6uTolgFZ5
161Please respect copyright.PENANATufgh90MTl
"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."161Please respect copyright.PENANAWIObr96t9D
161Please respect copyright.PENANAWNNma3oDy6
161Please respect copyright.PENANAUil6jInwM9
Zoey folded her arms. "I don’t think the guards can do a better job at dealing with Johnny than we can."161Please respect copyright.PENANAZJU6autC2r
161Please respect copyright.PENANARaC8DPIodG
161Please respect copyright.PENANAx71Y66PfH4
"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."161Please respect copyright.PENANAdXA3I5eU5w
161Please respect copyright.PENANAwHskB8el0Y
161Please respect copyright.PENANA6yMUW2cAnl
"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."161Please respect copyright.PENANAhN7d6FN5ZL
161Please respect copyright.PENANAuYjcjoxU9B
161Please respect copyright.PENANARrVe6n4b4K
I chuckled. "Did you really have to put it like that, Christine?"161Please respect copyright.PENANA1lNosEFpiV
161Please respect copyright.PENANAZYKzOaYSmM
161Please respect copyright.PENANA3pmRf79u56
"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."161Please respect copyright.PENANAMqGDQ03uGU
161Please respect copyright.PENANAcr6qO0ql55
161Please respect copyright.PENANArXeZMeceXy
"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."161Please respect copyright.PENANAoNVKKjCIIe
161Please respect copyright.PENANAwrGQPO9k7r
161Please respect copyright.PENANAUlSGjwyBTs
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.161Please respect copyright.PENANAkla48PPtwL
161Please respect copyright.PENANAmRKAPIfbNJ
161Please respect copyright.PENANARREeIoPHuC
"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."161Please respect copyright.PENANAD4MhSzbMhl
161Please respect copyright.PENANAharNWIqnKr
161Please respect copyright.PENANAtMdW4FDE9e
Zoey cheered out a "Yes" while Christine groaned.161Please respect copyright.PENANALxKXN6OKp8
161Please respect copyright.PENANAAX5K3qD43m
161Please respect copyright.PENANAOZzsRNV3HD
"But if we’re going to do this, then the others have to know too," I quickly added.161Please respect copyright.PENANAvgjv574JK7
161Please respect copyright.PENANAvPMHmmAB9d
161Please respect copyright.PENANAhKdhfIdzDE
The mood on Zoey’s face suddenly vanished. "What do you mean we have to involve the others?"161Please respect copyright.PENANA3B6PWjT6Os

161Please respect copyright.PENANAv8qdF2CsVs
161Please respect copyright.PENANA1WN3cMrAgh
"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."161Please respect copyright.PENANAcJGqop3TbX
161Please respect copyright.PENANAG9FU9rOOp1

161Please respect copyright.PENANADJ1KV3HoZL
161Please respect copyright.PENANAwl2uZrflAd

161Please respect copyright.PENANAgvhkni2lL5
161Please respect copyright.PENANAEgbugbI9ia
"So Sam is on board," said Zoey, "if - and that's a big if - Johnny messes with the album. How about you, Christine?"161Please respect copyright.PENANAAsaA9pjztc
161Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ0ye58BGG
161Please respect copyright.PENANACUcVA9wn7C
"I’m already in," said Christine. "Like Sam said, we would all want to get our hands on him if he does such."161Please respect copyright.PENANAXAHT9PuiTi
161Please respect copyright.PENANAAKSesRxREh
161Please respect copyright.PENANAN1rvUyltcT

161Please respect copyright.PENANA0Xpi6SBwZI
161Please respect copyright.PENANAjM1rIagxPC

161Please respect copyright.PENANAaJeLZNuJ3C
161Please respect copyright.PENANAm0MrlpxRC6
"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."161Please respect copyright.PENANAMwYL8KZkYW
161Please respect copyright.PENANAu3ELlBUqhX
161Please respect copyright.PENANAfpMIwNg7jZ

Zoey soon flushed and seconds later she came out to wash her hands in the sink. 161Please respect copyright.PENANA9IS0iFYFs4
161Please respect copyright.PENANAOsNVzm4Shq
161Please respect copyright.PENANANWFmWLW7Cg
"Of course, he’s serious," said Zoey. "I just fear that he may hold a gun to our heads." 161Please respect copyright.PENANAnNfldDYqRF
161Please respect copyright.PENANACrxpyHN3oc
161Please respect copyright.PENANA8aNCfvhW4X

161Please respect copyright.PENANACzxbTwM6b6
161Please respect copyright.PENANAVKaGlmsxhY

161Please respect copyright.PENANAttdmQKLEkN
161Please respect copyright.PENANAjVfOvR6lQ2
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. 161Please respect copyright.PENANArLvo9mgPmS

161Please respect copyright.PENANA33VxPgwvOh
161Please respect copyright.PENANAmuhreMDfCG
"No, not yet," said Jinwoo as he stood from where he sat and walked up to us. "Strange that she isn't here."161Please respect copyright.PENANA00hmax9fwm
161Please respect copyright.PENANAT0Fp2KibL6
161Please respect copyright.PENANAR81oRuT8vt
He's right. I would like to know that she's alright, so I pull out my phone to give her a call. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAZeg0OC8Hp7
161Please respect copyright.PENANAqlncYvNZof
161Please respect copyright.PENANAmXKOqZbJUV
She immediately picked up. "Sam, are you okay?" she asked.161Please respect copyright.PENANAYaPJ1RQNKY
161Please respect copyright.PENANAGMP9UrRj6l

161Please respect copyright.PENANALmc6rwrxYO
161Please respect copyright.PENANAlw3wN0A47B
"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."161Please respect copyright.PENANAlV9iVr33WK
161Please respect copyright.PENANAsZlwAUwBGQ
161Please respect copyright.PENANANWinxqZQYf

161Please respect copyright.PENANABMjYWCxv71
161Please respect copyright.PENANA6jCiRTwQwl
"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."161Please respect copyright.PENANA0XNROd0Gnh

161Please respect copyright.PENANAQRksASqIzq

"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.161Please respect copyright.PENANAmDTD5OZHnT

161Please respect copyright.PENANAMzNW0l5hHm
"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."161Please respect copyright.PENANAcCBBwQ9b0U
161Please respect copyright.PENANA2r3sYEU0LE

161Please respect copyright.PENANAvpRiIpFpbN
"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.161Please respect copyright.PENANABq31aXmALH

"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.161Please respect copyright.PENANApKY3lkM847

161Please respect copyright.PENANAyxZeUKCnt6
161Please respect copyright.PENANALvVo3zQjx8
"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."161Please respect copyright.PENANAmJznrZ5cin
161Please respect copyright.PENANAz0SdQ7pbhw
161Please respect copyright.PENANAvYU656o2oX

"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.161Please respect copyright.PENANAfJXzFapbNv
161Please respect copyright.PENANAG5czTWSc8z
161Please respect copyright.PENANAZQZxbOsFRm
"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."161Please respect copyright.PENANAVGvtXUswmL
161Please respect copyright.PENANALqGhIGFVOL
161Please respect copyright.PENANASvIJbcf079
"Really?" Jisoo asked.161Please respect copyright.PENANARcDkBa9Yc9
161Please respect copyright.PENANAUPkVsy2vOt
161Please respect copyright.PENANAh6lvy79B8p
"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."161Please respect copyright.PENANAhyXWGDxpL7
161Please respect copyright.PENANAiHRSGhhlfM
161Please respect copyright.PENANAQblyPUpLqm
"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."161Please respect copyright.PENANAkSVHZdHc0w
161Please respect copyright.PENANAScMCxXuzrd
161Please respect copyright.PENANAahP5aPlqH5
"I had no idea four of the BigBang members like her," said Lisa, finding all this amusing that she put her phone aside.161Please respect copyright.PENANAAM9VPUwxPJ
161Please respect copyright.PENANAAPvRjsRdZq
161Please respect copyright.PENANA2r7KwEP9o1
"You better believe it," said Zoey. "Daesung and GD are head over heels in love with her."161Please respect copyright.PENANAenuh1o2N4c
161Please respect copyright.PENANALiQNBaxQfo
161Please respect copyright.PENANAKPa1OBwZoO
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.161Please respect copyright.PENANADCg6CDEwek
161Please respect copyright.PENANA4DuTzrEee4
161Please respect copyright.PENANAEIpuwiqvPv
"Enough, people," said Yong-guk as he quickly stood up from his seat. "Let's get to work!"161Please respect copyright.PENANAMZOxHKA5PV
161Please respect copyright.PENANAEluMyCx4mF
161Please respect copyright.PENANACWrWBNqNx5
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.161Please respect copyright.PENANAcqyVeoVoSS
161Please respect copyright.PENANAo3WGYAqTLB
161Please respect copyright.PENANAq0PenfkjiE
"You really squeezed me too hard," I said, looking up at him.161Please respect copyright.PENANAsA21UMwcJf
161Please respect copyright.PENANAf2O0bilvFm
161Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6F0ClUYd7
"I'm so sorry," he said, looking very apologetic as he quickly clapped his hands together.161Please respect copyright.PENANAiz9qIaPaHZ
161Please respect copyright.PENANADul4XcGuJL
161Please respect copyright.PENANAyQSQHGooXy
"This conversation was just getting good, Yong-guk," said Rose. "Why did you have to ruin it all of a sudden?"161Please respect copyright.PENANAXYr0iFHn6s
161Please respect copyright.PENANAkYm1tbT8Sl
161Please respect copyright.PENANA7RsheotnHC
"Because we don't have time on our hands," Yong-guk answered.161Please respect copyright.PENANA3HblHtRqyC
161Please respect copyright.PENANA7vlZWyga55
161Please respect copyright.PENANAJUhWpyOyb9
"I agree," said Mike. "Let's finish the song and move on."161Please respect copyright.PENANAp7k0U9yh65
161Please respect copyright.PENANAxdO6nEB2pT
161Please respect copyright.PENANAmlwnVTu6HZ

161Please respect copyright.PENANAUBW0sSIi19

161Please respect copyright.PENANAC195MTM151
161Please respect copyright.PENANAJsw1pi7Obe
"Okay, enough about my sister's love life, please," said Daniel.161Please respect copyright.PENANAjtAKzDruqX
161Please respect copyright.PENANA6zRmA8AMlZ
161Please respect copyright.PENANAHv4tuaAFRN
"Ya, we've better things to worry about," said Seungyoon. "You girls can talk about it later." 161Please respect copyright.PENANARWUxHqlRIE
161Please respect copyright.PENANAB4VAbKZHIb
161Please respect copyright.PENANAEJLhBK1xCu
"OK, fine," said Rose. "But this was getting interesting." 161Please respect copyright.PENANAVXqhOiMw8t
161Please respect copyright.PENANAo3pDbKrByZ
161Please respect copyright.PENANAF5OZplMd6H
"Totally interesting," said Lisa. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAI8NYQYiSGc
161Please respect copyright.PENANAEbyzTT1Rhk
161Please respect copyright.PENANAOGgWsmgrmt
"Everyone, to the recording booth, please," the producer now chirped in. "We need to be done with this before the day ends." 161Please respect copyright.PENANAT0eEjgQZrf
161Please respect copyright.PENANA53BJm5YA0E
161Please respect copyright.PENANAxLXRJlYv4R
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. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAuEF1YDDkSX
161Please respect copyright.PENANAzM6ShcoeHZ
161Please respect copyright.PENANAWccT0UsAOg
"Hey, are you okay?" Yong-guk asked after Jennie and Seunghoon left my side. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAyKbP1swdWX
161Please respect copyright.PENANAIxPZF6vHq3
161Please respect copyright.PENANAXjNGZRen8Z
"No," I honestly answered. I rubbed my cheeks with the palm of my hands. I turned to look at him. "Are you okay?" 161Please respect copyright.PENANAcb4p0G85Mz
161Please respect copyright.PENANAMvcm7fhDWQ
161Please respect copyright.PENANAZa8CVaX412
"Not really." 161Please respect copyright.PENANAjSbvmcU2Ub
161Please respect copyright.PENANAwDVDQRDmoJ
161Please respect copyright.PENANA4VNlYgXUKr
"These guys really embarrassed us, huh?" 161Please respect copyright.PENANA6Mbcqa5Isr
161Please respect copyright.PENANASISdb8YqJf
161Please respect copyright.PENANAW9czxKCrsQ
"Very much." 161Please respect copyright.PENANAARgjF9dvWm
161Please respect copyright.PENANAV6YuTWBpTJ
161Please respect copyright.PENANAMegSd64qqO
"Well, I better get in there. I'm sorry for what happened." 161Please respect copyright.PENANADrHFXMW5AY
161Please respect copyright.PENANAX69N1HgyIO
161Please respect copyright.PENANAMx0Viyu3ON
"Oh, don't worry about it. As much as they were joking around, I can't help but feel that...." 161Please respect copyright.PENANAYxZooWaQ5a
161Please respect copyright.PENANA5N2JUOUTg0
161Please respect copyright.PENANAt6Bf7kwFZG
Yong-guk paused as he looked at me, then suddenly looked away. What was he about to say just now? And is he blushing? 161Please respect copyright.PENANAZESntVn3Pv
161Please respect copyright.PENANAexLYbiw3jI
161Please respect copyright.PENANACvDxKfy6c3
"What were you going to say?" I asked. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAOHj3WOqB2Q
161Please respect copyright.PENANAgf5lHy0xDk
161Please respect copyright.PENANAoLOa9pqQhg
"Nothing," he said, avoiding my eyes. "You better go in there." 161Please respect copyright.PENANAokn1cqf6Ri
161Please respect copyright.PENANAZUUY0WJtRg
161Please respect copyright.PENANAOuTEwPvCii
"Ya, right," I quickly darted for the recording booth. I couldn't help but feel Yong-guk wanted to say something really important. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAdbkMLZGbrU
161Please respect copyright.PENANAYExWk9JQc4
161Please respect copyright.PENANAcrzujshciI
"Hey, isn't Lee supposed to be back by now?" Mike asked me as soon as I entered the booth. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAmu8b1hfIv3
161Please respect copyright.PENANA7rKOQ9uT7w
161Please respect copyright.PENANA6BmfAb8uP0
"She said she's on her way," I answered. "But you're right. I wonder what's holding her up." 161Please respect copyright.PENANAH0mDUi1R8n
161Please respect copyright.PENANAaCatkAUqNP
161Please respect copyright.PENANAzGbriCMBQZ
"Could Johnny and her have met?" Zoey asked. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAQKl111EbTo
161Please respect copyright.PENANANfXifUpfD5
161Please respect copyright.PENANAE3VzgodwMh
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. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAUxDXZn9pdk
161Please respect copyright.PENANA4XL2rIeElm
161Please respect copyright.PENANA8fycZ4ErBv
"Let us not worry too much," said Daniel. "She did leave with the guard, right? She'll be back before we know it." 161Please respect copyright.PENANAoLX2a2SrmU
161Please respect copyright.PENANAPGkGBhRkdv
161Please respect copyright.PENANA0bS4OpNxdE
"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?" 161Please respect copyright.PENANAeNEis7y01i
161Please respect copyright.PENANADxJcjqP5Sm
161Please respect copyright.PENANAgrQWFaFJ1J
"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?" 161Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZlQLmyb66
161Please respect copyright.PENANA6OglQrjsno
161Please respect copyright.PENANAsnwO1Kyyqn
"Let's be quick about it, alright?" came the producer. "We don't want to waste any more time." 161Please respect copyright.PENANABH53ZT5Otr
161Please respect copyright.PENANA2PHu7eMgcg
161Please respect copyright.PENANArkbc1fuRf3
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. 161Please respect copyright.PENANArrPwgkS2Ns
161Please respect copyright.PENANAaBi7wE05td
161Please respect copyright.PENANAGuBndAyWtE
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? 161Please respect copyright.PENANAjRDJnayabj
161Please respect copyright.PENANAvroUdPFNUy
161Please respect copyright.PENANA4P7JxZNO87
"She isn't picking up," I announced after the line couldn't connect. 161Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ntsw11auH
161Please respect copyright.PENANALHF4hsyUUq
161Please respect copyright.PENANAoVhOxQDHYF
"Where could she be?" Jinwoo asked. "Now I'm starting to think of the worst." 161Please respect copyright.PENANAzzYJb4CP8D
161Please respect copyright.PENANATfxga2CQ2e
161Please respect copyright.PENANAnty1xmtpjs
"Same here," said Christine. 161Please respect copyright.PENANASiCVybPKc5
161Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4XHJcZohh
161Please respect copyright.PENANAKHP51qkxkZ
"Maybe we go out and look for her?" Jennie suggested. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAErhksF9mV2
161Please respect copyright.PENANASgdtiDSBx3
161Please respect copyright.PENANA8OufKjLCnH
"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. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAEB9lKgvWPk
161Please respect copyright.PENANAgcymlnWiFo
161Please respect copyright.PENANAfHcSVEG8JF
"I agree," the producer said through the mic. "I know you're worried, but we still have a lot to do with the song."161Please respect copyright.PENANAVjHIzf3sTC
161Please respect copyright.PENANAg9nfNHuHnQ
161Please respect copyright.PENANA9pJvmeXvem
"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."161Please respect copyright.PENANArdySUL6FAI
161Please respect copyright.PENANAIuodziYFpe
161Please respect copyright.PENANAbp7eYmIR5u
"Works well for me," said Zoey as she quickly put on her headphones. "Let's get to work, people." 161Please respect copyright.PENANAZCLV2mWI8n
161Please respect copyright.PENANAN7tVOxZpxx
161Please respect copyright.PENANAHccsNwsBnR
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.161Please respect copyright.PENANAw5p8QugZgn
161Please respect copyright.PENANAPcyDJ4vdow
161Please respect copyright.PENANABLTZMVICRd
We were finally done and it took almost an hour and thirty minutes.161Please respect copyright.PENANAFWpapPbfni
161Please respect copyright.PENANANOfPOgeFN1
161Please respect copyright.PENANAL90EkV2ujR
"Okay, now that we're done," said the producer, "you can do whatever you want."161Please respect copyright.PENANAuTqdSVaalD
161Please respect copyright.PENANAHHWnUMFrIL
161Please respect copyright.PENANA7DWWJ0wQ5G
"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. 161Please respect copyright.PENANANI0ayejfRY
161Please respect copyright.PENANArMvRAto302
161Please respect copyright.PENANAuFj1DFSr9S
"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."161Please respect copyright.PENANA0GzHY0vcwM
161Please respect copyright.PENANAHcRMvLnIcg
161Please respect copyright.PENANAc1XqAxBJwM
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." 161Please respect copyright.PENANAwk56DqynAX
161Please respect copyright.PENANAY1azaqCwBT
161Please respect copyright.PENANATaVBKk9VLg
"What! We're on lockdown!" Seunghoon asked. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAe3JfGNwfMZ
161Please respect copyright.PENANAccqRoeGSRt
161Please respect copyright.PENANAt4yiLje58C
"And you knew?" Mike asked. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAlGMLlV1tGm
161Please respect copyright.PENANAp7PRSrv2gB
161Please respect copyright.PENANARKn7fpDVCU
"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." 161Please respect copyright.PENANA7us1Uqkt8z
161Please respect copyright.PENANAeLEgV0XwuU
161Please respect copyright.PENANAcsz6GsgfnB
"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." 161Please respect copyright.PENANAeq7OxlvOud
161Please respect copyright.PENANASRQJfngW8c
161Please respect copyright.PENANApTY2ty4eND
"Lockdown or not, we need to find Lee," said Zoey. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAs4DjIcFuAN
161Please respect copyright.PENANAR8apjUnwzq
161Please respect copyright.PENANAkalPLzqUOJ
"Okay, but like Yong-guk said, we all can't go," I said. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAtnbFqEzvaa
161Please respect copyright.PENANA8rfDHBI2Zv
161Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ5nvQjBy6
"Okay, then who wants to go out and look for her?" Mike asked. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAqpPKCM21qb
161Please respect copyright.PENANAbD1nUxO39z
161Please respect copyright.PENANASvQyQ5Ja56
Everyone in the booth, including myself raised hands. We all looked at each other. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAPLhPdYSXHP
161Please respect copyright.PENANAUsz7u2FZOH
161Please respect copyright.PENANATEjYGHnRJ1
"Well, this is going to be tough," said the producer, who looked on. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAegL35U1bpm
161Please respect copyright.PENANAAHlyNe7oRt
161Please respect copyright.PENANAW3t9cwxXom
"Why can't we all go?" Jennie asked. 161Please respect copyright.PENANA8VHe8clRta
161Please respect copyright.PENANAjPldaNaIHM
161Please respect copyright.PENANAJRxCyOuIrU
"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." 161Please respect copyright.PENANAwjkHcvDnzH
161Please respect copyright.PENANA630syDYzC8
161Please respect copyright.PENANAdsyWKnEySH
"Well, no one is stopping me from going," said Zoey as she folded her arms. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAHRZbRfYUL6
161Please respect copyright.PENANAgeFnNTOV69
161Please respect copyright.PENANAcsyQF9dMwY

161Please respect copyright.PENANA6QctpHqBc0
161Please respect copyright.PENANA36p9dkhIGB
"Fine, each member from each group will go," said Yong-guk. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAH7NqvRcxtm
161Please respect copyright.PENANAIejQKmwNrc
161Please respect copyright.PENANAE9jNAGMQpY
"But that means only three go," said Jisoo. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAGtAaqqbxIl
161Please respect copyright.PENANAVrrkRL23NZ
161Please respect copyright.PENANAY17N6jGSY1
"I think we need to add two more," I suggested. 161Please respect copyright.PENANApPO1c6a2pC
161Please respect copyright.PENANAHerC5FU0JD
161Please respect copyright.PENANA1M0rROSSZy
"Okay, I want to go look for her," said Seunghoon. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAKL5z7jCyIO
161Please respect copyright.PENANAisTikmuxhx
161Please respect copyright.PENANAyQCDp62syK
"I'll go too," said Jisoo. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAaa2UBFHgkI
161Please respect copyright.PENANA3Mvy0rtOla
161Please respect copyright.PENANAfoJau4XSbm
"Okay, now two people will have to join in," I said. "Who is willing to go?" 161Please respect copyright.PENANAyoMkfzjZCi
161Please respect copyright.PENANAoskeBButmO
161Please respect copyright.PENANAocGCIz5BD8
"I'll go," said Mino. 161Please respect copyright.PENANA1FXORuAVvS
161Please respect copyright.PENANAZX4VzcMiWx
161Please respect copyright.PENANAEXmhSqTWll
"One more left," said Yong-guk. "I think Sam should go." 161Please respect copyright.PENANAjiDwE6jbnU
161Please respect copyright.PENANAicSc8j3nwQ
161Please respect copyright.PENANAlYsvCGD3Ia
"Me?" I raised an eyebrow at him. 161Please respect copyright.PENANA0ardcBiivM
161Please respect copyright.PENANArbPNPrRKQ7
161Please respect copyright.PENANAvvrqyXLzJn
"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." 161Please respect copyright.PENANAEByIpYhAAO
161Please respect copyright.PENANAhSBJmEPQT6
161Please respect copyright.PENANARJcktNJ1cR
"You're forgetting that Zoey is just as good as figuring him out as me," I point out. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAourBuT2SoQ
161Please respect copyright.PENANAiCbqJC4fTC
161Please respect copyright.PENANAl51stb4EEZ
"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?" 161Please respect copyright.PENANAXsWcYI2HGO
161Please respect copyright.PENANAzPPo1q9zu3
161Please respect copyright.PENANAoPNiHGxYyM
"That's exactly what you’ll do," Mike told her. Zoey hissed at him while Daniel laughed. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAIJxTSGMsCs
161Please respect copyright.PENANAfCPTAuj2Lj
161Please respect copyright.PENANAibD58zoDMn
"I agree with Zoey," said Yong-guk. "You’ve to go, Sam. And just like you said, the fewer who go, the better." 161Please respect copyright.PENANAxZTD3DGqAw
161Please respect copyright.PENANAvbokGbgLIV
161Please respect copyright.PENANAFG5NqoTw7B
"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." 161Please respect copyright.PENANAcx3aQOxIRn
161Please respect copyright.PENANA9d0alJepek
161Please respect copyright.PENANAAIQuJojQZQ
"Go ahead," said Seungyoon. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAWDjqsGjfWH
161Please respect copyright.PENANATnymAPv81o
161Please respect copyright.PENANA5YMPcGH4fy
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. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAKOI6HeD8yy
161Please respect copyright.PENANATNaNcBGTMR
161Please respect copyright.PENANAUs3SEORHcH
Just as it was about to cut, she finally answered. Thank goodness. 161Please respect copyright.PENANANLO71PbYYd
161Please respect copyright.PENANAwwkY8z56wN
161Please respect copyright.PENANA4UfF4m2lNc
"Lee, are you there?" I asked. I put the phone on loud so that everyone could hear. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAWBgbVpmzDy
161Please respect copyright.PENANA42dV6bAItb
161Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZDuP6ojzo
We received silence instead. This isn’t right. Then we heard someone panting and the sound of running feet. Could that be Lee? 161Please respect copyright.PENANAQBt8ZXG5q3
161Please respect copyright.PENANAPuXV3tbdxU
161Please respect copyright.PENANA4cGbpmld2g
"Lee, answer me. Are you there?" I asked again, this time I’m the one who is anxious. 161Please respect copyright.PENANADFBaQGvnJU
161Please respect copyright.PENANA0quwO6sC8k
161Please respect copyright.PENANAotTtZmn6Ec
"Sam?" Lee called. The sound in her voice was that of someone scared. "Are you there?" 161Please respect copyright.PENANAOqJBzqdS5V
161Please respect copyright.PENANAXUQKoDSsuI
161Please respect copyright.PENANA2wlg1k4qrR
"Where are you? And are you running?" 161Please respect copyright.PENANATyH89xsqDT
161Please respect copyright.PENANAZalZkCLeEb
161Please respect copyright.PENANAD0Y9Beq1mP
"It’s Johnny," she now whispered. "I don’t know how he caught up to me, but he’s here." 161Please respect copyright.PENANAIjdMzJ8fGR
161Please respect copyright.PENANAMIc9pgYgEC
161Please respect copyright.PENANAvbgxEhS08r

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. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAT8nvFIbeKS
