"Okay, so here are the lyrics for the song," I said after writing them down.344Please respect copyright.PENANAXURKcjXTEQ
344Please respect copyright.PENANAkKKdNWLitP
Everyone's attention automatically turned to me. They all fell silent. I read out the lyrics first then sang them out.
"So, what do you think?" I asked, addressing the question towards BAP.344Please respect copyright.PENANAikIHcFmbOU
344Please respect copyright.PENANA9bcZuekFUX
"Just admit it," said Zoey, "the song is awesome."344Please respect copyright.PENANAIi7BNWNa5L
344Please respect copyright.PENANAyt2DCdzarU
"Zoey." Christine gave her a look that told her to keep quiet. "Let the others take it in first."344Please respect copyright.PENANAwenp0wAvCC
344Please respect copyright.PENANAtif5oUAli7
"Zoey's right," said Daehyun. "The lyrics are great."344Please respect copyright.PENANAH0cg0ViBML
344Please respect copyright.PENANA0MWoH3792x
"I now get what Daniel said," said Zelo, "the song is meant to be sad, but it's fun to sing. You can hear it with the way Sam sang it out."344Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ufc3wztxH
344Please respect copyright.PENANA1i1HkYBJRF
"You should listen to the tune," said Mike. "You'll love it."344Please respect copyright.PENANAq3GoWGExp4
344Please respect copyright.PENANATIWyXapN3A
"I bet that's why you went searching for the guitar," said Jongup as he looked at me.344Please respect copyright.PENANAzBNC0AuA8a
344Please respect copyright.PENANAOCJqM7cAUg
"Play the guitar, Sam," Himchan insisted. "We're all dying to hear it. I bet Yong-guk can't wait any longer."344Please respect copyright.PENANAgAzwkZr5dX
344Please respect copyright.PENANAychXL5HqQH
"Huh?" Yong-guk looked at Himchan beside him, looking confused. "No, I'm not."344Please respect copyright.PENANAkxui8xgp5f
344Please respect copyright.PENANALK1Lg4XY7Z
"Of course you are," said Yong-nam as he gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "Don't forget, I'm your twin."344Please respect copyright.PENANAdWkcKUQLFw
344Please respect copyright.PENANAjjKPCguQ6h
"Okay," I said as I took the guitar that had been laying on the table the whole time. "Let me play it, then."344Please respect copyright.PENANAfQcDjuQc5T
344Please respect copyright.PENANApXPSBlWVax
I positioned the guitar properly before me with my crossed legs supporting it. Before I started to strum the strings, I took in a deep breath. I played out the tune first. Afterwards, I started to sing out the chorus. It wasn't long so it ended sooner than expected.344Please respect copyright.PENANAtxjS00Q6lk
344Please respect copyright.PENANA5QQzQHoc1m
"Wow," said Young-jae, looking at me like he's just seen something's dazzled him. "The song's going to sound awesome."344Please respect copyright.PENANApy4h8rtyLy
344Please respect copyright.PENANAgUxWEAouLq
"Thanks," I said. "Oh, before I forget," I reached out for the pencil on the table and started to write something down. "We also worked on the first verse, but we couldn't finish it up yesterday. We were having a little trouble with the words so we want to see what you guys think."344Please respect copyright.PENANAqLW1F6leCW
344Please respect copyright.PENANA1GXDRJ3wVM
"Alright," said Yong-guk, looking to see what I was writing on the paper. "Whatever it is, I bet we can handle it."344Please respect copyright.PENANA4CS4NGlrZQ
344Please respect copyright.PENANAPbnsadUXtW
"Can't wait to see you try," said Christine. "But then again, if it's you two l'm not worried."344Please respect copyright.PENANAb1EkxrUDzn
344Please respect copyright.PENANALOii212xTT
"There you go again, Christine," I said after writing down the lyrics. "Okay, here we are." I laid down the pencil aside on the table.344Please respect copyright.PENANAB72dGR02lt
344Please respect copyright.PENANAWpmQbDOhnS
I felt Jongup lean closer so as to see what I had written. I leaned to the side a little, but his blond hair almost covered my face. I couldn't help but take a sniff. His hair smelt really nice. Well, this seems unusual. I tried to lean away further so as not to smell him.344Please respect copyright.PENANAReSSv0UPH4
344Please respect copyright.PENANA9AT9lH0En5
"Come on, Jongup," Zelo complained. "You're distracting Sam. We all want to hear what she has written."344Please respect copyright.PENANAQheydGQ2uG
344Please respect copyright.PENANAqXtYu2KYm0
"I don't think that I'm distracting her," said Jongup as he looked at Zelo. "Right, Sam?"344Please respect copyright.PENANALcx8Ig0iWM
344Please respect copyright.PENANAZtdwnuTC6P
It's when he turned his head to look at me that I yelped and leaned back further than before, almost falling to the floor. Instead, I ended up leaning on Yong-nam.344Please respect copyright.PENANAtffU1rotUH
344Please respect copyright.PENANAcN8AT6ZUm0
Jongup looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. It's either he didn't know what he was about to do or he knew and was just playing dumb.344Please respect copyright.PENANA6klepzoXMj
344Please respect copyright.PENANAG6CAv36lZg
"What's wrong, Sam?" he asked.344Please respect copyright.PENANAThgC7XYSZf
344Please respect copyright.PENANAtlPDqWEhER
I suddenly blushed. He really didn't know that he had almost planted a kiss on me. Anyway, it's best not to tell him. I hope the others hadn't noticed.344Please respect copyright.PENANAutfaGUK5Yy
344Please respect copyright.PENANAriI7XaUJtF
"Goodness, Jongup," said Mike, "you almost kissed my sister."344Please respect copyright.PENANAHguBxIVrPS
344Please respect copyright.PENANAyMPf2qC23h
And it just had to be Mike. Goodness, me!344Please respect copyright.PENANA1VCxcrVweX
344Please respect copyright.PENANAk3yotGa9oE
"Huh?" Jongup looked surprised. "I did?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAwDRHWXSJ80
344Please respect copyright.PENANAldGtWhJJOk
"And you were this close," said Zoey indicating a tiny space with her index finger and thumb.344Please respect copyright.PENANA9jrqYmlGxZ
344Please respect copyright.PENANAVUgdepknfs
"Oh...," Jongup turned to look at me. I was still leaning onto Yong-nam's shoulder. "I'm so sorry, Sam. Maybe I shouldn't have leaned in too close."344Please respect copyright.PENANAgVU15cL9iC
344Please respect copyright.PENANAIs5mBMWM06
"You see, I told you so," said Zelo.344Please respect copyright.PENANAoKHSzKeUqa
344Please respect copyright.PENANA1nKKklEQzc
"No, I'm okay," I said as I sat upright. "Sorry for leaning on you like that, Yong-nam. I hope I'm not too heavy."344Please respect copyright.PENANAvUCRu940kL
344Please respect copyright.PENANAvtreu5jb3B
Yong-nam cleared his throat. "Not at all," he answered. "You're actually pretty light."344Please respect copyright.PENANA1e4vI7rXUt
344Please respect copyright.PENANAjf7q5QyjNt
I nervously laughed, not sure whether he meant it or not.344Please respect copyright.PENANALWnOA3PAyB
344Please respect copyright.PENANABkmIHslCMF
"Wow," said Zoey as she delightfully clapped her hands together. "First Sam avoids Jongup from kissing her and then she leans onto Yong-nam who prevents her from falling. So sweet."344Please respect copyright.PENANAL7s28TOhGX
344Please respect copyright.PENANA7umHa413Ew
"You're such a fantasist, Zoey," said Daniel as he shook his head.344Please respect copyright.PENANAYFQjXdXkv0
344Please respect copyright.PENANAUalcvIcWKe
"Don't mind her," I said. "Can we forget the kissing incident and focus on the song, please?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAXz4RHwSm8b
344Please respect copyright.PENANAIVKdQhNGCn
"Sure," said Mike. "That's if we can reset Zoey's brain or else she won't stop talking about it."344Please respect copyright.PENANAzzjpY4stMK
344Please respect copyright.PENANA0iSnwTgc8D
"Are you saying that I'm kookoo?" Zoey asked, looking at Mike.344Please respect copyright.PENANAp5sKB9E5Hd
344Please respect copyright.PENANAw09CzY635C
"You can argue later, you two," I said, giving them a look. "Let's try and focus."344Please respect copyright.PENANAMK46r56hnH
344Please respect copyright.PENANAo2REs0dvkm
I went back to looking at the paper in front of me and read out the lyrics for them. Just like we did with BAP's song, we started coming up with lyrics. But this time, it proved to be a lot difficult than we expected. Whatever we came up with didn't really fit with the song.344Please respect copyright.PENANAXMOQuDh8xd
344Please respect copyright.PENANAMQZVLTFcRl
"Is it just me or something's just off?" Young-jae asked.344Please respect copyright.PENANASTb8GEibEj
344Please respect copyright.PENANAIFXsKFOGFt
"I think I feel what you mean," said Zoey as she scratched her head.344Please respect copyright.PENANAaFwEXvo0YS
344Please respect copyright.PENANAmTnH6Q3IdV
"Huh? What's Zoey saying?" Himchan asked.344Please respect copyright.PENANA4g1pRQF7in
344Please respect copyright.PENANAC3XYrcNQno
"I told you we should've rewired her brain a little," said Mike as he turned to look at me. I shook my head. Zoey on the other hand, ignored him. That's so unlike her.344Please respect copyright.PENANAlwqnRdL1c0
344Please respect copyright.PENANAtTBAFCxhoB
"I feel we aren't working like we did the first time," said Christine.344Please respect copyright.PENANApds5TqfHhe
344Please respect copyright.PENANAjekpzA5pCH
"Ya, that's what I meant," said Zoey.344Please respect copyright.PENANANZlPOZ8DYv
344Please respect copyright.PENANAWutW3dLB8z
"We just aren't coming up with the right lyrics," said Yong-guk, "that's all."344Please respect copyright.PENANAjb8XorrT6v
344Please respect copyright.PENANAl93Pr4qDGL
"Why is that?" Himchan asked.344Please respect copyright.PENANAMNGF8CPknP
344Please respect copyright.PENANAXVwqjxIBTs
"Who knows," said Daniel. "What do you think, Sam?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAVn0jelyIjS
344Please respect copyright.PENANAE5bpxWerkt
I shrugged my shoulders as I also couldn't figure out why we found it so difficult. I scratched the back of my head and pouted my lip a little.344Please respect copyright.PENANATh7BVmJdzd
344Please respect copyright.PENANAgrDQezh9qw
"You look like you're about to cry, Sam," said Jongup.344Please respect copyright.PENANA0kp2hCVTd7
344Please respect copyright.PENANAxY0hSHkOAJ
"Don't mind me," I said. "I'm frustrated that we're going nowhere."344Please respect copyright.PENANAdQKqztCy4t
344Please respect copyright.PENANAmpHq8MOm8L
"Maybe we're all just tired," said Zelo.344Please respect copyright.PENANAJIKvTf51AZ
344Please respect copyright.PENANAf0H4UIh2j6
"I felt we rested enough," said Daehyun.344Please respect copyright.PENANAAocPNlTeVN
344Please respect copyright.PENANA0N2u5resWC
"Or maybe we've been in the same place for too long," I suggested. "Sometimes the environment contributes greatly."344Please respect copyright.PENANAF6awJamWRX
344Please respect copyright.PENANAj31i5ZQuiV
"Maybe," said Yong-guk.344Please respect copyright.PENANAQoPglNKVVk
344Please respect copyright.PENANABKefLWLFrN
"What do you think, Yong-nam?" Christine asked as she turned to look at him.344Please respect copyright.PENANARRdS488Xzb
344Please respect copyright.PENANAodEueONMvO
He raised his arms up to stretch. As soon as he put them down, he said, "I think we're all just tired. We exhausted ourselves working on BAP's piece and thought we would do the same with this one. If you ask me, we should just call it a day and continue tomorrow."344Please respect copyright.PENANAEIsI86y3fv
344Please respect copyright.PENANAB7UNpnfLAx
"Tomorrow?" Daniel looked shocked at the idea. "Won't that be a little too late for us?"344Please respect copyright.PENANA0qiUFmlr7F
344Please respect copyright.PENANAUBdllOG8D8
"You're right," I said as I slapped my forehead. "We've to meet the songwriters and composers for the album. We won't have enough time."344Please respect copyright.PENANAAUDEyuT2q5
344Please respect copyright.PENANAyoErvAltPh
"Not forgetting that we should at least have something to present to Yang Hyun-suk," said Zoey.344Please respect copyright.PENANAEb4vFEEAPu
344Please respect copyright.PENANAkRWh4clGPl
"I told Collins to buy me more time, but I doubt Yang Hyun-suk will even want to hear it. Goodness, just thinking about it feels overwhelming." I buried my face into my hands.344Please respect copyright.PENANAmBpFVMA7Wu
344Please respect copyright.PENANAcCRIWFhOaP
"Now I wish we never had to make an album," said Zoey as she leaned back on the chair and sighed.344Please respect copyright.PENANAVP0r4CEuWo
344Please respect copyright.PENANACyQC99tAon
"Wow, you guys are working on an album?" Jongup asked.344Please respect copyright.PENANANKpT9rpmXu
344Please respect copyright.PENANAa7aD59YTpP
"Yep," I answered as I lifted my face up from my hands. "Our managers are ambitious."344Please respect copyright.PENANAJp1juEAtrY
344Please respect copyright.PENANAP3MxVYo4a2
"At least we don't have to worry about the other songs," said Zoey.344Please respect copyright.PENANA4xX7CxrXzx
344Please respect copyright.PENANAVrjdBrAStn
"But you heard what Collins said this morning, Zoey. This one has to be awesome. But the way we're so exhausted, I feel we aren't going anywhere."344Please respect copyright.PENANA6KtKLjNvVu
344Please respect copyright.PENANAdmV059MviZ
"I think we should take a little break," said Yong-nam.344Please respect copyright.PENANAMDuaoFukrR
344Please respect copyright.PENANA7hEtkmc1wi
I went back first onto the floor with my eyes closed. I really did feel exhausted. Why did fatigue have to settle in like this?344Please respect copyright.PENANAVVYVVmG8hl
344Please respect copyright.PENANAphng9rS5nC
"You're scaring me, Sam," I heard Yong-guk say.344Please respect copyright.PENANAqLXUOlnc40
344Please respect copyright.PENANAis4Urgv2Zn
"Oh, don't mind her," said Zoey. "She started this and finding a way to finish it is frustrating."344Please respect copyright.PENANAsJK7oKs4OQ
344Please respect copyright.PENANA0HeesCMF4M
I smiled a little at what Zoey said. Starting something and not finishing it really is frustrating, especially if it involves something that you really love to do. And with time ticking by, Yang Hyun-suk and Collins will have no choice but to be disappointed tomorrow.344Please respect copyright.PENANAg8BArXuQJc
344Please respect copyright.PENANATx5B3rNj2g
"Wait..., does this mean we won't have the reward Lee was talking about?" I heard Daniel ask.344Please respect copyright.PENANAkYFg8hWECN
344Please respect copyright.PENANAsGM2lkmhwM
I opened my eyes as I remembered Daesung's invitation. I really wish I could tell them the truth, but I held my tongue. Even if we leave this place without much progress, Lee won't hold us back because it isn't much of a reward, but an invitation to go out for an outdoor movie. I sat up.344Please respect copyright.PENANAPZU2jieOe6
344Please respect copyright.PENANAUWTTPOK1Ur
"Don't worry about that, Daniel," I said. "Lee will give us that reward."344Please respect copyright.PENANAISIblqGPc2
344Please respect copyright.PENANA8QNZ9vPuI0
"For someone who seems tired, you sound pretty confident," said Himchan.344Please respect copyright.PENANA0LdgHSZAnJ
344Please respect copyright.PENANAyHoiBV9HYU
"I just know." I smiled at him as I shrugged my shoulders.344Please respect copyright.PENANADM3l6SlC0R
344Please respect copyright.PENANACMQfOLh8zU
"Do you've any idea what it could be?" Daniel asked.344Please respect copyright.PENANArAvUYRP7Q8
344Please respect copyright.PENANAc3JaXypoIz
I shook my head. It's best it turns out as a surprise.344Please respect copyright.PENANAMtqbAYC0xf
344Please respect copyright.PENANAQHFMA8nKB6
"So, what are we going to do now?" Zelo asked. "Just sit and do nothing?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAE8jqd0IkXU
344Please respect copyright.PENANAZIM9dcAXhK
"We can do something fun to pass the time," Christine suggested.344Please respect copyright.PENANA95PhO2urB0
344Please respect copyright.PENANANf0bu6JXrP
"Not me," I went back to lying down on the floor.344Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3SJn9bPaR
344Please respect copyright.PENANAIyiuGTprSy
No one said a word. I could feel a few eyes on me, while others, I'm guessing, gave each other looks.344Please respect copyright.PENANAsEqZB3FCDp
344Please respect copyright.PENANATnjeHzN417
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "You're such a party pooper."344Please respect copyright.PENANAzHaKxAvjzN
344Please respect copyright.PENANA7ErYFnVJ3C
"Haven't heard you call me that in a while," I said as I smiled at the ceiling.344Please respect copyright.PENANAvAometcsTV
344Please respect copyright.PENANAmfKkZBbwsu
"Get up, will you? This is no time to be lying down."344Please respect copyright.PENANA0w7U4uuwSf
344Please respect copyright.PENANAs5bHxmpziv
"There's nothing wrong with lying down to rest, is there?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAkPfp4VgjxA
344Please respect copyright.PENANAPgd4By29Fg
"Goodness, me." Zoey sounded frustrated. She couldn't argue over that and she knew it.344Please respect copyright.PENANA2OUdouAjNT
344Please respect copyright.PENANAOpO96CFUQd
"Maybe we should call Lee to pick us up," Mike suggested.344Please respect copyright.PENANAmPAQOWF04C
344Please respect copyright.PENANAs3d5n3mJKV
"Don't bother," I said as I closed my eyes. "With us not under her radar anymore she's probably doing something for herself right now."344Please respect copyright.PENANAMVONo4wvhO
344Please respect copyright.PENANAndFbgpuMVF
I heard Zelo and Daehyun chuckle while I heard Christine and Zoey mutter out in frustration.344Please respect copyright.PENANAEz4HVu1GU9
344Please respect copyright.PENANAi80MfE9kyU
"Looks like you're stuck here with us until Lee comes to pick you up," I heard Yong-guk say.344Please respect copyright.PENANA5i3UnSDdIl
344Please respect copyright.PENANAblemNklmmW
"But we can't sit here doing nothing," said Daniel. "Like Christine said, we better find something to do."344Please respect copyright.PENANA8fCqkfWhMZ
344Please respect copyright.PENANARa2uu3vASL
"You should be resting," I suggested, my eyes still closed.344Please respect copyright.PENANARma7Uq69hb
344Please respect copyright.PENANAA6r8keVNNU
"Well, we don't want to," said Zoey. I imagined her folding her arms and looking at me like she would at Mike when he got her angry.344Please respect copyright.PENANAdriBui8Kvs
344Please respect copyright.PENANAW6VPFsVQyu
I smiled. "Suit yourself."344Please respect copyright.PENANAPauIhdBCTr
344Please respect copyright.PENANA3lcGPaBcDH
"No one wants to do karaoke in the recording booth?" Jongup suggested.344Please respect copyright.PENANAsQMbdWsgeo
344Please respect copyright.PENANAD0CfBtyyuP
"I think we've done enough singing for one day," said Daehyun.344Please respect copyright.PENANAKQsvbb4OWL
344Please respect copyright.PENANAIHYDgyeYhy
"I agree," said Zoey.344Please respect copyright.PENANAWAeHTcjekx
344Please respect copyright.PENANAVpr10aE6IS
"If there's clearly nothing to do, then I think we should be resting like Sam's doing right now," said Yong-guk.344Please respect copyright.PENANAkcB2u0pqiu
344Please respect copyright.PENANAN5sjF0OJig
"I like your thinking," I said with my eyes closed. I raised my hand to give him a thumbs up.344Please respect copyright.PENANAT5L8rJiEjX
344Please respect copyright.PENANAzphKhscjZJ
"You songwriters all think the same," I heard Christine mutter.344Please respect copyright.PENANASGjGiTp0b5
344Please respect copyright.PENANA10e7TRCbGh
"I might not agree with all this," Mike started to say, "but I'm going through with Sam's idea. I'm just going to lean back on the couch a little."344Please respect copyright.PENANAFjTABpH6C0
344Please respect copyright.PENANAQTAQMqT29y
"Huh? Not you too, Mike," said Zoey, sounding surprised.344Please respect copyright.PENANAEeNqjKtF8Y
344Please respect copyright.PENANAIoPRpvvr7m
"Quit it, Zoey." I heard him move on the couch, obviously putting himself in a more comfortable position. "There's nothing to do. Why not relax for a bit?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAioIWGxNQHA
344Please respect copyright.PENANANwXoE2RjvH
"I shouldn't be surprised coming from you."344Please respect copyright.PENANA4kwwQtp1h6
344Please respect copyright.PENANAyJR64xDP8S
"Ya, ya, ya, Zoey. I'm the bad guy here. Doesn't matter now, does it?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAuGlyfF4tf4
344Please respect copyright.PENANA5JzcHRu5CX
"Well, if there's nothing for you guys to do at the moment, then I'm going to work on something," said Yong-guk.344Please respect copyright.PENANANo5kfRljSA
344Please respect copyright.PENANA9JcNCUE9hW
"And what could that be?" Young-jae asked.344Please respect copyright.PENANAj2OV9nEjOZ
344Please respect copyright.PENANAbRbVoHBSkx
"Our song, of course."344Please respect copyright.PENANAJF09IzftrK
344Please respect copyright.PENANAMVYg9qNcLM
"You go ahead and do that," I said.344Please respect copyright.PENANAt5M84ghAZ2
344Please respect copyright.PENANArOQsFaR7Va
There came an awkward pause and I opened one eye to look at him.344Please respect copyright.PENANAWRDFwEvh3J
344Please respect copyright.PENANAWqusR7zhNF
"You look surprised, Yong-guk," said Yong-nam. He took the words right out of my mouth.344Please respect copyright.PENANANoocc4KQMS
344Please respect copyright.PENANAwZFDTwVB1r
"I thought that would get Sam up from the floor since she seems to really like helping out," said Yong-guk.344Please respect copyright.PENANAu39ueGfrAH
344Please respect copyright.PENANAiqTTEWUoE3
"I'm drained," I said as I closed my one eye and placed my open palm under my head. "As exciting as it sounds, I'll pass."344Please respect copyright.PENANAgArWusuWUP
344Please respect copyright.PENANAnO2ViJrg1E
"Okay, then," said Yong-guk. "And you, Mike?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAQrZtQWybgG
344Please respect copyright.PENANAMqNZGCGN1p
"I'll pass too," said Mike.344Please respect copyright.PENANAEqg0vEfdcT
344Please respect copyright.PENANAaGKl98mZS0
"Okay. I'll be by the console. Any of you guys want to join me?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAu5apzFJgCc
344Please respect copyright.PENANATcJW7sstNF
"Well...," Zelo sounded hesitant and I heard a scratching sound across the table. I imagined he was scratching his head, wondering whether to go or not. "Me too," he finally said. "I don't feel like working on the song right now."344Please respect copyright.PENANAOKavTNrogJ
344Please respect copyright.PENANAGtpyh1PdI5
"I'm going to relax over here too," said Young-jae.344Please respect copyright.PENANAZwzKzq6QKC
344Please respect copyright.PENANAKSJjMO6oMv
"What's up with everyone?" Yong-guk asked, sounding surprised.344Please respect copyright.PENANAHMFiR6AYDE
344Please respect copyright.PENANAkZerOyTRHh
"Like Yong-nam said, we're tired," I said as I sat up. "The best thing to do right now is relax."344Please respect copyright.PENANAl4RBFVj4bj
344Please respect copyright.PENANAuz8wtWcJpx
"Aren't you worried about not making progress on your song?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAycCNHefy4k
344Please respect copyright.PENANAwLIm42nQko
"I was about to ask the same question," said Zoey with a sulky look on her face. 344Please respect copyright.PENANAjCK4Qy5Fvw
344Please respect copyright.PENANA80giQ0PrqU
I shrugged. "At first I was, but right now, I need to relax a little before my brain explodes. Don't let me stop you from working on your song."344Please respect copyright.PENANAhac6JXSNUZ
344Please respect copyright.PENANAZ62UOzA0fJ
"Alright, then," said Yong-nam as he also slept on the floor. "Looks like I can also rest. Keeping your eyes on time can be tiring too."344Please respect copyright.PENANAMCKNbd3szH
344Please respect copyright.PENANApfGdFEB4Z7
"You of all people shouldn't even be sleeping," said Yong-guk.344Please respect copyright.PENANAztIy011GaO
344Please respect copyright.PENANAH64d4fjZHl
I laughed. As much as I wanted to hear these two brothers argue, it ended there. I went back to sleeping on the floor.344Please respect copyright.PENANA2VVr6wORVe
344Please respect copyright.PENANAUBCgH2SB2C
"I'm going to join the relaxing spree too," said Jongup, as he pulled out his phone from his pocket and slept on the floor beside me.344Please respect copyright.PENANA9DYHJZsSWF
344Please respect copyright.PENANA4OBPTSMmQG
"Looks like the majority wins," said Himchan as he chuckled.344Please respect copyright.PENANApOkG9TAiuj

Zoey mourned in frustration. Even I could tell she's tired. She had no choice but to give in.344Please respect copyright.PENANAyuDp3mzlEs
344Please respect copyright.PENANAPAo2cse8yV
"Oh, man!" Daniel muttered out loud.344Please respect copyright.PENANAow3cizHVNx
344Please respect copyright.PENANAsfPEBabIGA
I lifted my head from the floor to see what Daniel's doing. He had his phone out too and tapping at it. He's probably playing a game.344Please respect copyright.PENANAhWpk7GHgIX
344Please respect copyright.PENANA6XfawtKFDW
"Sorry, guys," he said. He quickly looked up from his phone when he noticed people's eyes on him. "Playing a game over here."344Please respect copyright.PENANASlcYHhD7vA
344Please respect copyright.PENANASCVojcJHiD
I shook my head at him as I put my head back on the floor. I looked beside me and saw Jongup on Instagram looking at cute cat videos. I turned the other side to see Yong-nam with his arm over his face, covering his eyes. He did seem just as tired as all of us. He did help come up with some lyrics, so no argument there.344Please respect copyright.PENANAirFFx2DBo5
344Please respect copyright.PENANAu3MQ0JRU60
I heard Zoey sigh and that brought a smile across my face. "I give up," she said. "I haven't been on Twitter lately. Time to see what's going on in the world."344Please respect copyright.PENANAc0zEOIfvlK
344Please respect copyright.PENANAzY4F94voWm
"I think I'll have a little shut-eye," said Christine.344Please respect copyright.PENANAaq8oFnP7pE
344Please respect copyright.PENANAdLeldtxLEv
Everyone seemed to be busy doing their own things now. I counted Jongup, Daniel, Young-jae and Zoey on their phones. Daehyun, Himchan and Zelo were engaged in a conversation. Even when Mike was resting on the couch, he seemed to be contributing whenever he can. Christine, Yong-nam and I were really the ones resting as we closed our eyes.344Please respect copyright.PENANAxXN4SnX1AG
344Please respect copyright.PENANAUGSpl83RI4
I heard someone stand up and guessed it was Yong-guk. I could hear footsteps head towards the other side of the room where the recording booth and console were. He seemed serious with what he wanted to do. I continued to lay there on the floor, hoping that I don't fall asleep.344Please respect copyright.PENANAlPoOXE07Lo
344Please respect copyright.PENANAl9tZTsa6Yp
I found myself slowly imagining about the outdoor movie we were going to watch. Will it be an oldies movie? I would love to watch such. It just sets you in the mood when it has to.344Please respect copyright.PENANAwwoJ8GppN2
344Please respect copyright.PENANAZkiC9iKYIZ
I heard Jongup chuckle to himself and I knew he's still on his cat videos. A thought crossed my mind. Here I am thinking of the outdoor movie when I should be thinking about the song. I don't feel like dwelling on it. Now is the time to relax, nothing more.344Please respect copyright.PENANAfX4zshs1ap
344Please respect copyright.PENANAKyRh9k0qEu
"Hey, Sam?" I heard Jongup call me. "Are you asleep?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAANy7ifdICn
344Please respect copyright.PENANAh724LYx50P
"No," I answered. I drew my eyes open and looked at him. "What is it?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAfPmxlHkyle
344Please respect copyright.PENANAsOo6Lq9bq3
"Watch this," he said as he scooted closer that our heads nearly touched. He held his phone up for the two of us to see. We watched a cute cat video where a little white and brown kitten was chasing a movable toy mouse on the floor. It was cute and yet funny at the same time as the kitten tried so many times to capture it. Jongup and I laughed.344Please respect copyright.PENANAqhmDXPRZRZ
344Please respect copyright.PENANAhe5Kl2et7m
"Oh, my," I said as I wiped away the tears in my eyes. "The little kitten really struggled. But you've to admit, it's so cute."344Please respect copyright.PENANAm93x0Dqstd
344Please respect copyright.PENANAIxKdDLSOSr
"I know," said Jongup. "You should see this previous one. It will knock your socks off."344Please respect copyright.PENANAv4yVMcLzC8
344Please respect copyright.PENANACyBAwSWo5d
I joined Jongup in watching more cat videos. We soon moved on to watch people participate in various dance challenges.344Please respect copyright.PENANALxXUmvtjdo
344Please respect copyright.PENANAB7ahc3e1F9
"We should've a dance challenge one day," I said to Jongup as we watched.344Please respect copyright.PENANAuramn7vL6w
344Please respect copyright.PENANAcF1icqJTGT
"Huh?" he turned to look at me. "We should've a dance challenge?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAwRWzLngpsn
344Please respect copyright.PENANAagt1u7uLqy
"Ya. I mean The Toxins vs BAP."344Please respect copyright.PENANAw5gtZlfvkW
344Please respect copyright.PENANA5q6SJeKn0e
"Oh..., like the one you had with Monsta X?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAl85K5pFuIu
344Please respect copyright.PENANAuGglWHgbbp
"Yes, like that one. You watched it?"344Please respect copyright.PENANANxuXgjS3EJ
344Please respect copyright.PENANA1T5vnT8Huy
"I think a lot of us did. People really liked it."344Please respect copyright.PENANAvJIKOf0MRy
344Please respect copyright.PENANARBrSDfh1XF
"Too bad we lost. But it was fun. We should've one one of these days. That's if we could even make the time for it."344Please respect copyright.PENANAMqLNjfLQkR
344Please respect copyright.PENANA4OQeqdDPuB
"Oh, you've an album to work on."344Please respect copyright.PENANAqGzQr5fUqS
344Please respect copyright.PENANAzWaFlWCqRS
I stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Just thinking about it drains me." I went back to looking at his phone.344Please respect copyright.PENANAnKdXCcqJU2
344Please respect copyright.PENANA3oXZ8khUlW
"Did I hear someone talk about having a dance challenge with BAP?" Zoey asked.344Please respect copyright.PENANALLJh30JbAz
344Please respect copyright.PENANANa4kCwbZKX
I raised my head a little and saw Zoey still on her phone.344Please respect copyright.PENANAU6Lr0uHslk
344Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2LFxsHaOH
"Yes, I said that," I said as I dropped my head and stared at Jongup's phone.344Please respect copyright.PENANAR2WDpNLsM8
344Please respect copyright.PENANA8acJCJyLCm
"Why not do so now?"344Please respect copyright.PENANABH4O38m5Zv
344Please respect copyright.PENANAReUVKf7bpN
"No!" Christine, Mike and I said out loud at the same time.344Please respect copyright.PENANAu1MiTyQAhe
344Please respect copyright.PENANA0XfRjgQLOs
"Eish, guys. It's why I asked. You don't have to eat me alive."344Please respect copyright.PENANAT2HyEuM6wu
344Please respect copyright.PENANAzVfro9brAX
Himchan and the other BAP members around the table started to chuckle.344Please respect copyright.PENANAYl6hAc6T0V
344Please respect copyright.PENANAzBrNePFExq
"You Toxins really are something," said Himchan. "You do know that the majority of you opposed, right?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAQjirZBnBAl
344Please respect copyright.PENANAPmxSt9w5TZ
"Except Daniel," said Zelo.344Please respect copyright.PENANAFSMiwLPwqG
344Please respect copyright.PENANAde69CpKMw3
"Oh, I refuse too," said Daniel, still on his phone.344Please respect copyright.PENANATetfRIeUuN
344Please respect copyright.PENANArit2d03d82
Zoey tsked. "You guys are no fun."344Please respect copyright.PENANAGYZPUqOuSZ
344Please respect copyright.PENANAqZ62PS5wW9
"Use logic, Zoey," said Christine. "We're all tired and don't have the energy for a dance challenge."344Please respect copyright.PENANAZciPa32n4A
344Please respect copyright.PENANAdV2rmphl4r
"I know that. I thought maybe someone's in the mood for it."344Please respect copyright.PENANA7Wj5t36Cc0
344Please respect copyright.PENANAIxj4gCf0y0
"No one is in the mood for it," said Mike.344Please respect copyright.PENANAyiH5vsoSe4
344Please respect copyright.PENANApDXOkLIW65
"And what if the BAP members were?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAJhZEkRUSMo
344Please respect copyright.PENANALxWmoYIHVm
I heard Daehyun nervously chuckle. "To be honest, Zoey," he said, "I'm definitely not in the mood."344Please respect copyright.PENANAjy9kMCcki5
344Please respect copyright.PENANARPDkCIKot0
"Me too," said Young-jae.344Please respect copyright.PENANAtffnkZRwVV
344Please respect copyright.PENANAySihUswzG6
"Me three," said Zelo.344Please respect copyright.PENANAWLS1uyWc7C
344Please respect copyright.PENANAvF8NbGNFWG
"Guess I don't have to ask you, Himchan," said Zoey, sounding unimpressed.344Please respect copyright.PENANAV5Jfv2gp00
344Please respect copyright.PENANA8a8KxFQYcf
Himchan, just like Daehyun, nervously chuckled too.344Please respect copyright.PENANA0zOMXBVBoi
344Please respect copyright.PENANA6ITwCX1JbT
"You can ask Yong-guk," Zelo suggested.344Please respect copyright.PENANAwtuYTFaX3m
344Please respect copyright.PENANAAPd3hpA1FR
"Nah. He's already busy and I don't like to be a bother."344Please respect copyright.PENANA1CbgnNVQtF
344Please respect copyright.PENANAwEAuNGSXFQ
"Really?" Mike asked. Uh-oh. I smell an argument brewing. "You bother a lot of us everyday."344Please respect copyright.PENANAL8B0w5iCHP
344Please respect copyright.PENANAD3LRgrfbBI
"What did you say!?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAYqZng08Cty
344Please respect copyright.PENANAC0wWvSByS7
"Quiet down, Zoey," said Christine. "You're disturbing Yong-nam. He's probably asleep."344Please respect copyright.PENANA7YxEFtGwQ2
344Please respect copyright.PENANA5NlKSX8Ujv
I turned to look at Yong-nam beside me and saw him move his arm above his eyes. He had one eye open. He turned his eye to look at me. I almost yelped. I felt embarrassed that he had caught me looking at him. The corner of his lips raised to a smile. He closed his eye and moved his arm back to cover his eyes. That was it.344Please respect copyright.PENANAnyjlAc2rzK
344Please respect copyright.PENANANu2ezSJh1F
"I bet he isn't," said Zoey. "Is he, Sam?"344Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ew5eK19tu
344Please respect copyright.PENANAxaIvYSD51C
"Huh?" I got a little caught off guard as I didn't answer Zoey's question.344Please respect copyright.PENANA7G8FBgCMya
344Please respect copyright.PENANA44VQ40b3Wc
"Is he awake?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAr9qXJLpwfV
344Please respect copyright.PENANAEjUNq5zTre
"Not sure," I answered. "He would've said something if he was."344Please respect copyright.PENANABYHtHhztRM
344Please respect copyright.PENANAeDF0bX4uFI
I looked at him and noticed a wide smile on his face. Okay...., didn't know what to make of it, so I quickly turned my attention back to Jongup's phone.344Please respect copyright.PENANAOGLSQ9l0Mj
344Please respect copyright.PENANARY9sDbSkJG
"Anyway, where was I?" Zoey asked as she paused to think a bit. I noticed that no one's willing to remind her. It's best not to.344Please respect copyright.PENANANC7tVe6yGC
344Please respect copyright.PENANAhqDk4flRM1
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "It's what you said, Mike. How am I a bother to you?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAJTw2scJPIL
344Please respect copyright.PENANAUC99k8oypV
"You're being a bother right now. I'm trying to rest and you're disturbing me."344Please respect copyright.PENANA3kATUfI5E2
344Please respect copyright.PENANAyIDo32O49f
Zoey hissed that I thought a snake had magically appeared in the room. If she was one, no doubt she would attack Mike first.344Please respect copyright.PENANA5tFDBfeEGJ
344Please respect copyright.PENANAQLEnKaPoLs
"Enough," said Christine. "No one wants to see or hear you two fight."344Please respect copyright.PENANAvUbWhRNf4n
344Please respect copyright.PENANACNLfZMm9jI
"Mike started it," said Zoey.344Please respect copyright.PENANAoFQxK79PAQ
344Please respect copyright.PENANA4GTejrcnMu
"You amplified it," said Mike. "You always do."344Please respect copyright.PENANAQmnJsucfKQ
344Please respect copyright.PENANAPW4bUwbwcl
"For once I agree with Mike," I said. "Let it go, Zoey."344Please respect copyright.PENANAJbQogMQiHI
344Please respect copyright.PENANA93kP0FoVV7
"You guys are unbelievable," said Zoey.344Please respect copyright.PENANAL0LnxwDT2g
344Please respect copyright.PENANAOCal7H9IHl
"You're unbelievable," said Himchan as he chuckled. "You really are a drama queen. No offense."344Please respect copyright.PENANACogmhInB8V
344Please respect copyright.PENANAxuml226Uns
"None taken. These guys call me that all the time."344Please respect copyright.PENANAfkBHfe8SfB
344Please respect copyright.PENANAm1PXMJ5GO7
After a while, all of us settled back to what we were doing. I was still watching videos with Jongup when I suddenly sat up from the floor. If I continued lying there, I would probably have a backache.344Please respect copyright.PENANAoyO2zHUd6m
344Please respect copyright.PENANAP66RCPyQNX
I stretched out my arms and stood up, stretching my whole body.344Please respect copyright.PENANAkSUHy1eRt7
344Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jx1aNqcul
"I've had enough of watching Instagram videos," I told Jongup.344Please respect copyright.PENANAab5S4N4kdf
344Please respect copyright.PENANAxPy0BED5GL
He gave me a smile and went back to looking at his phone. I turned to look at everyone and almost all of them were either quietly resting or on their phones.344Please respect copyright.PENANA8lVOii7CzE
344Please respect copyright.PENANAH2Xg0kvRA3
I looked over at Yong-guk who was still seated at the console. I decided to go over and see how he's progressing with the song.344Please respect copyright.PENANADZ7Z9mSox6
344Please respect copyright.PENANAHfgdE8OqvS
"Hey, there," I said to him when I got behind him. I bent over to look at him from the side of his face.344Please respect copyright.PENANAZuh81flGS0
344Please respect copyright.PENANAFrrDkXDWlz
"Oh, Sam," he looked up at me, surprised. "I didn't hear you coming."344Please respect copyright.PENANAY64oOMy1h0
344Please respect copyright.PENANAWa1x0buYd9
"I've cat feet," I said as I took the empty seat next to him.344Please respect copyright.PENANAMnDYnPOojG
344Please respect copyright.PENANAkhzWlm6Y94
"Cat feet?"344Please respect copyright.PENANA17qKLJL5z2
344Please respect copyright.PENANAIjOaeoGeNj
"I'm told there are times when people don't hear me coming so they say I've cat feet. I sometimes scare them."344Please respect copyright.PENANAY5SE02kBuX
344Please respect copyright.PENANArU9EZcLWQ5
"Oh, I see."344Please respect copyright.PENANAKU5xwyqgQG
344Please respect copyright.PENANAd1MmMPBOoZ
"It's true, Yong-guk," Zoey said behind us. "So don't upset her or else she might come to your room and murder you."344Please respect copyright.PENANA9HZKigR8U0
344Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1FRp6X7gQ
"I'll keep that in mind," said Yong-guk as he turned to smile at her.344Please respect copyright.PENANAeceixgwwVv
344Please respect copyright.PENANAxj6aTvbLRB
"Don't listen to her," I said as I turned to look at the console in front of me. "So, what are you really working on? I thought we were done and dusted with your song."344Please respect copyright.PENANApeJc39fOK2
344Please respect copyright.PENANAfFDZaHREin
"I'm not working on our song," said Yong-guk as he went to work on the laptop.344Please respect copyright.PENANAMtKhFZ0TFi
344Please respect copyright.PENANAIYXBeES0A6
"Then, what are you working on?" I raised my eyebrow at him.344Please respect copyright.PENANA0urvI1XpoN
344Please respect copyright.PENANAvvnwUL762s
"On your song," he answered.344Please respect copyright.PENANAPqG9PlNtsN
344Please respect copyright.PENANAJoKPNJvOjx
"Huh?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAAcJkXk4djh
344Please respect copyright.PENANAtYzWLNyLnh
"The tune you played earlier gave me a little inspiration to somehow come up with an instrumental. It's still not finished since I just started."344Please respect copyright.PENANAlnTrBtK9ax
344Please respect copyright.PENANAxlQlfECQxi
"Wow." I'm surprised. I didn't think Yong-guk would go this far. I didn't even know what to say.344Please respect copyright.PENANAfsNTzVI4yB
344Please respect copyright.PENANAQi7P31L9rI
"Hey, are you okay, Sam?" Yong-guk asked.344Please respect copyright.PENANAPAi7HmT5W7
344Please respect copyright.PENANAqV91fxzXmS
I quickly turned to look at him. "Huh?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAY9e52QxIU1
344Please respect copyright.PENANAOmdIOZxVKV
"You spaced out for a bit. Is it a bad idea that I'm working on the instrumental? I know there will probably be someone working on it, but I thought I could do something, you know?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAPKaWvCRq7p
344Please respect copyright.PENANAcAu5CRh3I6
I smiled at him. He really means it. There aren't many people in the world who are so thoughtful.344Please respect copyright.PENANAzQHqu4qhY7
344Please respect copyright.PENANAQObk3mGYFB
"I know what you mean. And no. I think there's no better person to work on it than you, Yong-guk."344Please respect copyright.PENANAoYP0odf7q4
344Please respect copyright.PENANAV1ryq398Yx
"Really?" He looked a little surprised with what I said.344Please respect copyright.PENANAAsltL8xxE9
344Please respect copyright.PENANAkI7N0A8tQw
"Of course! Who would've thought we would've you helping us? It's actually really nice of you."344Please respect copyright.PENANAPkFF4TunoO
344Please respect copyright.PENANArCJy0h3tqT
I noticed his cheeks start to redden a little and he quickly turned away. I continued to smile. I had this overwhelming feeling like I could hug him, but now isn't the time.344Please respect copyright.PENANAKuDtghsmdz
344Please respect copyright.PENANA1dPJmBDNpE
"May I hear what you've done so far?" I asked.344Please respect copyright.PENANAvC9qfI0R2c
344Please respect copyright.PENANAbLSwXdpp9J
"Ah..., sure," he said as he brought over the laptop closer.344Please respect copyright.PENANACwPLim5n8u
344Please respect copyright.PENANAUNbfBlOHbZ
He showed me what he had done and even when the instrumental was short, it sounded great. He really did follow the tune and melody like I had done with the guitar. He also added a few beats into the mix making the song sound more like pop.344Please respect copyright.PENANAXFWvT346G6
344Please respect copyright.PENANAgTqGFz5WNW
"Amazing," I looked at him with so much awe. "It's no wonder you're such a great producer."344Please respect copyright.PENANAaETkLdV5XP
344Please respect copyright.PENANAVdaqIGpL6I
He chuckled. "Coming from you, that means a lot."344Please respect copyright.PENANA2nAOeJwOxD
344Please respect copyright.PENANAP73HpwkH2U
"The others should hear this." My ear twitched. "I know you're there, Mike."344Please respect copyright.PENANARjssMuXGKd
344Please respect copyright.PENANAAfT4gxFl00
"Dang it!" I heard him mutter. Yong-guk and I turned around to see him behind us. "How come my cat feet can't work on you?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAsX9KnrHETS
344Please respect copyright.PENANADBdUq4rLfZ
"Because what you've ain't cat feet," I smirked at him. "You've to work a lot harder than that."344Please respect copyright.PENANA5qBtodkyNx
344Please respect copyright.PENANAk1GJqdFARo
"Anyway....," he came closer and placed his hands on my shoulder and Yong-guk's, "what is it that some of us have to listen to?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAcdKorEPlJC
344Please respect copyright.PENANA4g3jwz59gI
"This," I said as I pressed the play button on the laptop, playing out the instrumental for him.344Please respect copyright.PENANAMmae2JqiEv
344Please respect copyright.PENANApWIJGHVbem
"Wow," muttered Mike. "But wait..., why does this beat sound familiar?"344Please respect copyright.PENANApj5wev6et7
344Please respect copyright.PENANAQJx3lQj1S9
"It's because it's the beat to our song, silly," I said to him.344Please respect copyright.PENANAhR8nf0Pg1A
344Please respect copyright.PENANArsloWQLwoq
"Wow! Really!" I saw Mike look at Yong-guk just like I did earlier, with so much awe. "This is what you were working on?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAn4lOPxY4Sn
344Please respect copyright.PENANACzLIftChVz
Yong-guk nodded his head. Mike almost screamed like a girl, but he tried not to be so loud. I couldn't help but chuckle. He looked like his five year old self when he got a remote control car for his birthday.344Please respect copyright.PENANAj7NnLJrvJW
344Please respect copyright.PENANAnkxhU9DhbZ
"You're amazing," he said as he patted Yong-guk on the shoulder. "This song will be awesome."344Please respect copyright.PENANAFfmGayD7wM
344Please respect copyright.PENANAPv9auGMwRv
"Thanks," he said. "You should be thanking your sister, though."344Please respect copyright.PENANA84ynjq0UGw
344Please respect copyright.PENANAqvAGvM9tdR
"Huh?" Mike and I looked pluzzled.344Please respect copyright.PENANASoyyPbkDJ4
344Please respect copyright.PENANA9ibT2ZnlAa
"Remember what I said," he said as he looked at me. "The way you played with the guitar inspired me to come up with this."344Please respect copyright.PENANA1g5E1zWtTT
344Please respect copyright.PENANAKbJWiUBjmE
"Oh...," I forgot he said that. Now it's my turn to blush, and Yong-guk smiled.344Please respect copyright.PENANAiGrD9Uarvi
344Please respect copyright.PENANAbV1Avw1viZ
"Ya, my sister is a genius," said Mike. "May I join you?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAS4ocnWh5Qi
344Please respect copyright.PENANARfOPOUK4EL
"Sure," said Yong-guk. "With you two here, I bet we can work on it together."344Please respect copyright.PENANAbsIG4fkVZF
344Please respect copyright.PENANA7s7M687tLD
"And probably come up with lyrics for the song," I said when it dawned on me. "That's why you wanted me to come and join you here by the console."344Please respect copyright.PENANAbrecKr9u4d
344Please respect copyright.PENANAwTn2WYsS92
"I see you've got what I intended to do." Yong-guk turned to look at me with a smile. Mike sat on his other side. "I thought working on the instrumental will give you some idea on lyrics for the song."344Please respect copyright.PENANA62iBCTHUlF
344Please respect copyright.PENANAfDvd6nZhvK
"We'll see," said Mike as he rubbed his hands together and looking at the console before him like a hot, tasty meal he couldn't wait to put in his mouth.344Please respect copyright.PENANAdM6ya4P9hM
344Please respect copyright.PENANAFQNI8VRU6y
"Alright, let's start," said Yong-guk.344Please respect copyright.PENANAx48XObeoCp
344Please respect copyright.PENANA2tMIc54h2B
The three of us worked on the beats maker software on the laptop. With Mike's creativity and Yong-guk's producer skills, working on the instrumental was smooth and simple. We had no idea how long we had been working on it, but we had fun and joked around whenever we could.344Please respect copyright.PENANA1PDVSR225y
344Please respect copyright.PENANA193zEWsuPG
"Hey, what's going on here?" Himchan asked as he came to join us.344Please respect copyright.PENANAJi1MOHEHJN
344Please respect copyright.PENANAUJdQXV5S8i
"We're working on an instrumental," Mike answered.344Please respect copyright.PENANAVPCMd3eqkN
344Please respect copyright.PENANAcIHp9wRapF
"Which one?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAFK0TT6VqNO
344Please respect copyright.PENANAeVAGQuOdRK
"For our song," I answered. "You should hear it, it's really good."344Please respect copyright.PENANAYrIQoqlaER
344Please respect copyright.PENANAQGuv49w1OZ
"Oh, I thought you had run out of ideas for the lyrics."344Please respect copyright.PENANAXJEhXiSMUM
344Please respect copyright.PENANAafTJl6xYRF
"Well, I did. Maybe if I continue working on the instrumental, I might come up with them."344Please respect copyright.PENANASWvLf4ba7o
344Please respect copyright.PENANA6oVHw3T61p
"How far have you gone doing so?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAxAdNMO5hMb
344Please respect copyright.PENANArTLsxnSnEM
"Not too far," Yong-guk answered. "We've only tried to work on the first part and heading to the chorus. But even that needs a lot of work."344Please respect copyright.PENANAvkKcJgr8h6
344Please respect copyright.PENANAdRYwQzH0ZJ
"I agree," said Mike.344Please respect copyright.PENANAbRvdPmjyWm
344Please respect copyright.PENANAb5zllSDK9b
"And you're going to use this instrumental for your album?" Himchan asked.344Please respect copyright.PENANAEjYh8pHr9t
344Please respect copyright.PENANATeEiGu8K6H
"Of course we're," I answered, looking back at him. I now understood why he asked and I winced.344Please respect copyright.PENANAfj9wUQYuU5
344Please respect copyright.PENANAqlU0Y3WLLh
"What is it, Sam?" Mike asked.344Please respect copyright.PENANAef2mH8zW0p
344Please respect copyright.PENANAdMsfMzf6sC
"We need to seek permission to use this instrumental." I scratched the back of my head. "Goodness, why didn't I think about this before?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAFQz5cALftp
344Please respect copyright.PENANAUsBnLDq9jx
"Oh, ya," Mike turned to look at me quickly. "Why can't you give Collins a call and tell him that we've someone helping us?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAGF9etAQKyd
344Please respect copyright.PENANAvuzSbH4wfV
"Collins may agree. But what about Yang Hyun-suk?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAPjArIqcuww
344Please respect copyright.PENANApm5JlB9QBZ
Mike and I stared at each other. We both winced like we had done something wrong and we would be in big trouble for it.344Please respect copyright.PENANAdqYrXfAzeS
344Please respect copyright.PENANAkbl5ywaKnx
"Gosh, the man is troubling," said Mike as he leaned back in his seat. "He can hunt you in your dreams if you think about him too much."344Please respect copyright.PENANAjGMmkFiQl7
344Please respect copyright.PENANAHJQNPy4AOT
"He's really strict," I said. "And he's also hard to impress. If we do play out the instrumental for him, would he really like it?"344Please respect copyright.PENANA7VYnHMCp3t
344Please respect copyright.PENANAHC2soaCln0
"This is your tune and melody, Sam. So, he can't refuse. I mean, the song we did with BigBang was all you too."344Please respect copyright.PENANA3PYDZa8QTr
344Please respect copyright.PENANA5K9Rqjh6Qu
"It was?" Yong-guk and Himchan asked at the same time.344Please respect copyright.PENANA1UPaqPeI2c
344Please respect copyright.PENANA1Dhxs6epzI
"Never mind that," I told them as I went back to looking at Mike. "I'm worried because Yong-guk is helping us produce this one. Will Yang Hyun-suk agree?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAyMQcAJdyHX
344Please respect copyright.PENANAb7n2EAE1de
"As long as he knows you thought of it in the first place, he'll definitely agree." Mike leaned forward so as to look at me.344Please respect copyright.PENANAhyo1QFkz5f
344Please respect copyright.PENANA3L8iOPg3IA
"Does this thing involving me always have to be highlighted?"344Please respect copyright.PENANADDsgvYw1G2
344Please respect copyright.PENANApV4MLvY8q9
"Daa, yes! Out of all of us, Yang Hyun-suk approves of you the most. He'll definitely go through with it."344Please respect copyright.PENANAMsdUXPw18W
344Please respect copyright.PENANAk7NqVAlHRz
I gave Mike a look. I don't consider myself as Yang Hyun-suk's favourite among The Toxins. I'm just afraid he won't approve.344Please respect copyright.PENANA7SnpMPSlpD
344Please respect copyright.PENANApmQ9TWmUR0
"Okay, if that's the case, than what of Yong-guk? Will he really help us through till the end?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAxptzQmDPsA
344Please respect copyright.PENANAgaWAAPhFCY
"I don't think we've to worry about that. Besides, even if he didn't offer to help, he seemed to do it out of his own free will, you know."344Please respect copyright.PENANA4Go3I52H9t
344Please respect copyright.PENANAfekXGvC2kF
"I'm right here, you guys," said Yong-guk in between Mike and me. "I can clearly hear you."344Please respect copyright.PENANA6eX3cX0ZfM
344Please respect copyright.PENANAjml0zZEaIY
Mike and I turned to look at him, then ignored him like he wasn't there. Himchan chuckled.344Please respect copyright.PENANAdo8n1X5c5a
344Please respect copyright.PENANAdDC40KUybc
"You're right," I said. "He'll stay till the end. He's such a good friend for helping us out."344Please respect copyright.PENANAxJmyxfXH17
344Please respect copyright.PENANA3Lpq9G9JLw
"I know right," Mike smiled. "He's awesome."344Please respect copyright.PENANAvMJyDqLNNW
344Please respect copyright.PENANA7AmzJcun5K
"I think you better focus on giving Collins a call, Sam," said Yong-guk, trying to sound serious, yet falling to do so.344Please respect copyright.PENANAf3V8BlPGvC
344Please respect copyright.PENANAhKIMbtnrL6
"Aww," Himchan complained. "Their conversation was just about to get more interesting."344Please respect copyright.PENANAM1OAtLrQdm
344Please respect copyright.PENANAhi62g2WGhU
I laughed. "He's just trying to hide the fact that he's blushing."344Please respect copyright.PENANADaBnmdN6Nb
344Please respect copyright.PENANAQoxYRdFlhS
"No, I'm not," said Yong-guk as he folded his arms and looked straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.344Please respect copyright.PENANA7wu9O5WtAD
344Please respect copyright.PENANAoVE9gsjmJ8
Mike burst out laughing that he leaned back further in his seat. "Stop trying to put up a serious face, Yong-guk," he said. "You look awfully funny."344Please respect copyright.PENANAJF73zOx9q1
344Please respect copyright.PENANAmk1yY1WL3X
I couldn't help but agree with Mike as I also started laughing. I had to keep in mind that I had a phone call to make. I soon stood up from my seat.344Please respect copyright.PENANAcbHmndge6X
344Please respect copyright.PENANAx88Ah8lSde
"I'll be back," I said as I tried to stop laughing. "You better not have that face when I get back, Yong-guk."344Please respect copyright.PENANAv4BJEjS2eZ
344Please respect copyright.PENANA0k8J1T96Pl
I walked away from the others as I made my way to the door. I needed to be somewhere more private if I am to talk with Collins.344Please respect copyright.PENANAKxnoVg2UzH
344Please respect copyright.PENANAYO0nHPBcx1
I stepped out into the hall and looked both ways. There's nobody walking around. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and searched for Collins' number. I pressed the call button and placed the phone to my ear.344Please respect copyright.PENANAqoKVGPJGg1
344Please respect copyright.PENANAAu2qak0WQi
His phone rang, and it kept on ringing. I grew worried that he might not answer. Maybe he's busy. He did say he would be occupied today. I better call him at a later time.344Please respect copyright.PENANA7q6bcAyfAl
344Please respect copyright.PENANAA5tau4szIR
Just when I'm about to cut the call, he picked up at the last minute.344Please respect copyright.PENANArWcc3smUcj
344Please respect copyright.PENANATQiNaFYEMG
"Hi, Sam," came his voice. "How's song writing going?"344Please respect copyright.PENANATzXFVcvAuW
344Please respect copyright.PENANAnLjubuyQ7D
"Not good, I'm afraid," I said as I scratched the back of my head wondering how to bring up the instrumental thing.344Please respect copyright.PENANAGg7NiNJeBj
344Please respect copyright.PENANAygRHHJO8Gh
"You'll figure it out. You do have extra help, don't you?"344Please respect copyright.PENANApkYrYPv2zD
344Please respect copyright.PENANAYSp4nDTjqh
"I see Lee told you about BAP."344Please respect copyright.PENANANgddpnL5hI
344Please respect copyright.PENANA8Z91yR62wo
"Well, she had to. So what can I do for you?"344Please respect copyright.PENANA1wFc9cPOoS
344Please respect copyright.PENANABlctQebU6w
"Well, we were working on the song and we felt a little stuck. So we had help with coming up with the instrumental for the song."344Please respect copyright.PENANA44MgrroiFY
344Please respect copyright.PENANAX4hLWOPI7s
"You're already coming up with that?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAXJNdaCKTVi
344Please respect copyright.PENANA2pA83hun32
I scratched the back of my head even more as I started to pace up and down in front of the door. "Well, ya. You see, Yong-guk - the leader of BAP - kind of got inspired to make us the instrumental because of the way I played it with the guitar. So we were wondering if it's okay with you that we use it for the song."344Please respect copyright.PENANAJOmozhxTV4
344Please respect copyright.PENANAe3s2mcj1w1
There was silence on the other end. I wonder what Collins must be thinking. He's a little unpredictable sometimes and he might not agree with it.344Please respect copyright.PENANAZWEVLm0Wtt
344Please respect copyright.PENANA7ibfxMmsiF
"Well," he started to say, "we would've to listen to it to see if it's actually good. The big problem is whether he should be working on it in the first place."344Please respect copyright.PENANAg2lnCa4n9G
344Please respect copyright.PENANAASYEMaXLLV
I knew it. I had to say something quick to convince him.344Please respect copyright.PENANApKS4sPeVYm
344Please respect copyright.PENANAdG8WHoJHjT
"I know, but he's really good. And besides, Mike and I are helping out too. You can be rest assured that it will be great."344Please respect copyright.PENANAFGutu32bgD
344Please respect copyright.PENANAYayOVhgrFv
"I believe you. But you know I'm not the only manager in this project of ours."344Please respect copyright.PENANACQmMrwYlPo
344Please respect copyright.PENANAK2BFCpHyMw
"If you could talk to Yang Hyun-suk for me, I bet he would agree. Yong-guk is a great producer and he's reputation proves that otherwise."344Please respect copyright.PENANAk1BYOMT9Z4
344Please respect copyright.PENANAM6DfATlchJ
"I don't have to talk to Yang Hyun-suk. He's right here with me. I put you on loud speaker."344Please respect copyright.PENANAIbG6iTLIBL
344Please respect copyright.PENANAXDl316007O
I swallowed as I stopped pacing and my heart did one huge beat that I felt my chest hurt.344Please respect copyright.PENANAXFDEYStrt4
344Please respect copyright.PENANAX9SfUhxTZI
"Oh..., good afternoon, Yang Hyun-suk sarangnim," I said quickly, so as not to seem surprised.344Please respect copyright.PENANAvC0T2rjcpO
344Please respect copyright.PENANASpxGekEYvl
"Afternoon," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice. I could feel beads of sweet starting to form on my forehead. "I heard everything you had to say."344Please respect copyright.PENANAZAau56gYp6
344Please respect copyright.PENANAKHKTzoEFx1
"And what do you think?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAMQohlYwY7K
344Please respect copyright.PENANA6jWfCjMPFw
"Well..., as much as the idea sounds tempting, I would actually refuse."344Please respect copyright.PENANAFtfjNExRuf
344Please respect copyright.PENANARWuORuErBB
My heart sank. I told myself it was worth a try anyway.344Please respect copyright.PENANAKhObfJ9iGr
344Please respect copyright.PENANAF5gN7c2gc2
"But," he continued, "we're talking about Bang Yong-guk, and he's reputation, like you've said, precedes him. If he does want to help out and you think he's the right producer for the job, then I've no objection to it. You can proceed with making the instrumental."344Please respect copyright.PENANAkHc1XnaVmw
344Please respect copyright.PENANAR1Cu1IGiXo
"Really!" I cried out in excitement. I can't believe he actually agreed.344Please respect copyright.PENANAxtdl3hX41U
344Please respect copyright.PENANAhbY7thPgjV
"Let's not forget that we're the ones that have the final say. If it's good, then we will proceed."344Please respect copyright.PENANAo0IsAc0lmR
344Please respect copyright.PENANA4kA3r8kt4H
"Thank you!" I said with so much excitement. I could hear the two managers chuckle to themselves. "I promise you won't be disappointed."344Please respect copyright.PENANA1zJ1fBgxPU
344Please respect copyright.PENANAzspi8PZDMA
"Make us proud, Sam," said Collins. "I hope you'll be able to come up with lyrics."344Please respect copyright.PENANA9YU4E9jRJ4
344Please respect copyright.PENANAt0f6MQK3r4
"I will. Thank you once again."344Please respect copyright.PENANAAWYdV35Bjw
344Please respect copyright.PENANAXybpfo5r9W
The two managers wished me luck. As soon as the line cut, I punched the air with excitement. We're really doing this. I can't wait to tell the others.344Please respect copyright.PENANAMay1wVdgaF
344Please respect copyright.PENANAherhyNeZsZ
I turned around and opened the door to the studio. As soon as I went in, I quickly rushed over to the others on the console.344Please respect copyright.PENANAkLgRDDrdWF
344Please respect copyright.PENANA5ikNPRv0ZD
"What's the news?" Mike asked as he looked at me.344Please respect copyright.PENANAvnKqjA2Cz0
344Please respect copyright.PENANA58FP0p119r
"I hope it's good," said Himchan.344Please respect copyright.PENANApWCHo9rbb7
344Please respect copyright.PENANAKSp42E09QS
"What news?" asked Daniel who was still seated on the couch. His eyes left the phone as he looked at us who were by the console.344Please respect copyright.PENANAt9e546UVkB
344Please respect copyright.PENANA4bM2cChGrO
"They agreed," I answered.344Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7zFys1kNk
344Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5hkDATxEu
Himchan and Mike clapped, looking relieved. Yong-guk leaned back in his seat, looking cool and composed, but I could tell that he was just as happy as the three of us.344Please respect copyright.PENANAgUzEIO4qcx
344Please respect copyright.PENANASUFP1anQhH
"Who agreed to what?" Daniel asked as he stood up from his couch to come over and join us. "I want to know what's going on."344Please respect copyright.PENANAVBka5vysgm
344Please respect copyright.PENANAZRQOXZxDsv
"Ya, I'm also anxious to know what you're all talking about," said Daehyun.344Please respect copyright.PENANA1NahmAthDc
344Please respect copyright.PENANAa8r4LLPB8s
"Me too," said Zoey. "What did I miss?"344Please respect copyright.PENANAt2uPR8TTpK
344Please respect copyright.PENANA36G2cWoQae
"A lot," I answered.344Please respect copyright.PENANAyF75USxHew
344Please respect copyright.PENANAwJOw98dXtQ
I told them what was going on and how I somehow managed to talk to the managers to go through with Yong-guk's instrumental.344Please respect copyright.PENANAxOjIVAaw6m
344Please respect copyright.PENANAyUY29hE4mV
"Wow, that's awesome," said Zelo.344Please respect copyright.PENANAWvIhC39u7W
344Please respect copyright.PENANALd0SCtRVWF
"You see how the managers just love you, Sam?" Mike asked.344Please respect copyright.PENANAsfttPbPNY2
344Please respect copyright.PENANAS8yjIZVwu8
"No, they don't," I emphasised. "If they don't like the instrumental, we aren't going to use it. So it has to be perfect."344Please respect copyright.PENANASoHQ5QJ4eX
344Please respect copyright.PENANAJFNRl90LHq
"But for them to agree its because they know Yong-guk is an awesome producer," said Himchan. "No doubt it will be lit."344Please respect copyright.PENANA9w6kvBld1p
344Please respect copyright.PENANAkE9oLMwOa1
"I agree with Himchan," said Zoey. "And besides, it's more of Sam's original, so they can't say no."344Please respect copyright.PENANAYcxrBNuroU
344Please respect copyright.PENANAD1789QFhH5
"Okay, we just need to focus on the instrumental and hopefully come up with the lyrics," I said.344Please respect copyright.PENANACO4GVyxrZa
344Please respect copyright.PENANAYFN1T2UR9n
"Well, you better work on those fast," said Yong-nam, who was now wide awake, but still laying on the floor. "You don't have much time."344Please respect copyright.PENANA3stD74x8hf
344Please respect copyright.PENANAGCdz2qWso8
"Okay," I said as I rubbed my hands together. "Toxins, get over here by the console, please."344Please respect copyright.PENANA35ZJUi2xq0
344Please respect copyright.PENANAZHx0Gz1QPA
"Okay," said Christine and Zoey as they both stood up from the couch and quickly came over.344Please respect copyright.PENANAMyb8WlFBm2
344Please respect copyright.PENANAT2OMkJ5c3R
"We will be here to help in anyway we can," said Young-jae.344Please respect copyright.PENANAUU50HTNskz
344Please respect copyright.PENANAlpyOUKxjg9
"Thanks, guys," I said with a smile. I went over to sit back on my chair next to Yong-guk.344Please respect copyright.PENANAit761RBRdd
344Please respect copyright.PENANAbqIyJKIB49
"Okay," said Yong-guk. "Let's continue where we ended, shall we?"
