After I yawned and stretched on my comfortble bed, I turned around to the side where I could see the window. It was morning alright and a Saturday too. That meant I could sleep till whenever, but at the moment, I didn't feel like sleeping in late since I was already awake. I sat up on my bed and checked the time on my phone that had laid next to my bed lamp all night as usual. It was only 6:55.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01s1cEufW3
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFlXRldtbM
I kicked away the bed covers and stood up from my bed. I continued to stretch some more before making my way to the bathroom. Zoey was still fast asleep. I really admired people like her who knew they had to sleep in on a weekend.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2vRIfLdna
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy46L1WTijf
After brushing my teeth and washing my face a little to help me be wide awake, I went back in the bedroom, wore my sleeping gown and bed slippers, then made my way out of the room into the hall. It was quiet. So quiet that I could hear the noise of the traffic outside as I made my way into the lounge. There were cars honking, cars accelerating unto the road and some people calling out to each other as they went about their daily business.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrn2DFvvsx
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET8txiXtxa
I made my way to the balcony, opened the door and stepped out. The air outside was nice and refreshing. I looked down the balcony where I could see the main road outside the hotel premises. Even on a weekend, people still seemed to be busy, most of them, I bet, were going to work. Others were probably going somewhere spending the weekend with their friends and families.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrKqf3gCch
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD3ajpDtLD
As I continued to look around the town, I heard someone coming closer behind me. I didn't turn around immediately as I said:897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaBWiagIDD
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRAW4cXEi0
"Morning, Daniel."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v9JD7sDga
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhujVJyI6eJ
"Dang it!" Daniel muttered as he came to stand by my side. He was also in his sleeping robe. "How did you know it was me?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IBKrrXNq1
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3XPsuqVa2
"I don't know," I said as I smiled at him. "Maybe it's because you're always trying to get back at me for creeping up on you sometimes."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERncjKnsVy
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCPnTlF2yK
"That's because I never hear your footsteps. You're a cat, remember?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8XlnoxH3S
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPI991PBu1
I laughed. "I know. Why are you up so early?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz6z6an9xK
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSSHRkAK4G
"I just woke up. I thought you would be sleeping in too."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2bdtVZepK
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XpujiLa4Y
"Just like you, I also woke up."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fIuuuiJm3
"Yesterday was fun, wasn't it?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGyGgifvsF
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCMkDOKuen
"Ya, it was great."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVTsKXJePz
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRbEF4koAd
The two of us continued to look out around the city of Seoul from the balcony. We didn't say a word as we just stood there and watched for a while.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK81aLWuHlt
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiGGUD2KG1
"I'm hungry," said Daniel as he broke the silence.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5Lzdg6wFS
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDjT8GdHeZ
"We can order breakfast right now while the others are asleep. But no sweet stuff for you," I warned. "You had too much yesterday."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpPuwWcVAK
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jODIpU4dj
"I know, I know."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPZhGsFMXT
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUX1E2k27P
The both of us went back inside the lounge and we found Collins by the hotel landline. Hopefully, I thought, he was ordering our breakfast.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaIosuTuFV
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqinVGMM6jO
As soon as he put the phone down, he turned to look at us.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hh94I3ZmS
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCVqigvVX3
"I was wondering who was out at the balcony," said Collins. "I was expecting Sam or Lee to be up, not you, Daniel."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXnuquy36a
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxPBufbWHo
"I know, it's an improvement," said Daniel with a smile.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuwwPfyra3
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWfPGcr1dX
"Did you order our breakfast?" I asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr9S52rgqv
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFs34ZaDJy
"Ummm, no, actually, someone called," said Collins.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oavuEgKx5
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnpYfYGmEb
"How come we didn't hear the phone ring?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwkLSgFSBI
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNZ5605ofT
"As soon as I came in, the phone started to ring and I picked it up immediately."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAANyEQvGP
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6I3L4kc6C
"Oh, who was it from?" Daniel asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0S4iZE8a9
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthwVpNhhaL
"Some reporters want an interview with you guys over your new single with BigBang. And also on BTW."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8J0MFaI0M
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vkrdd8AT0
I rolled my eyes as I scoffed. "Mmm, same old, same old," I said.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuftCb8PqCh
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe13raXnTG3
"Ya, so the phone will be pretty busy at some point during the day, so, you shouldn't mind at all. I should let Lee take care of it."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisgsqfAxHS
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g58SYnrVk
"That's if she gets out of bed early," said Daniel. "Everyone's really bummed out after yesterday's event."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO5w4jlrBH
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMguS8GBpZt
"Which still proves to be a success. Have you checked the number of views on your video?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF0O8VihOV
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1AYQX1KS1
"I don't want to know right now. I would check on that later. I like to be surprised by the number when I least expect it."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyytG57xww
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdV1wn3ueu
"I agree with my brother," I said. "Besides, I don't think I'm in the mood to look at my phone early in the morning."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwEgAu9F5V
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwYlGZUfss
"You kids are really something else," said Collins. "Okay, let me call room service so that they can bring up our breakfast."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIpC3dvecd
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfJE1QSBbK
"Thank you," said Daniel as he sighed in relief. "You just read my mind. I'm hungry. Oh, and no sugary stuff for me, please. Sam warned me that I shouldn't have anymore."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ul31tW9KD
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3K3D9VTHb
Collins raised an eyebrow at Daniel. "I know," he said. "Your mum would kill me if she ever finds out. She's as tough as nails."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhmaCv9qwS
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mj7YBZtJn
"Well, I'm glad that you agree there is someone out there who is way tougher than you."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaoSbAVUhk
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpncMjjuNIl
Collins just shook his head at Daniel while I placed my hand on his head and ruffled his short black hair. Collins soon picked up the hotel landline and called for room service to bring up our breakfast.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlDTL1IkRU
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7p2xpWHqO
It was still just the three of us now settled at the dining table after our breakfast arrived. Collins made sure to order toast, eggs and bacon for all of us so that Daniel could have a non-sweet healthy breakfast. There was coffee and juice for any of us who preferred either.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KMao5FBhO
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW5vQjLgdr
"So, what are you all planning to do today?" Collins asked as we ate.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyILH7Co1II
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLZAKK6kJ7
"Come to think about it, we didn't really think about it," I said as I looked at Collins.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLsoPI3SS6
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ4ARQLUiu
"Or talked about it," said Daniel.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcos1u03trz
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARJycL49Mz
"Maybe you guys could do an interview today?" Collins suggested. "But again, it seems too soon and the reporters would really like BTW and BigBang to be there."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5SLBpTe3A
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbkI3Y3hoZ
"Won't that be too crowded?" I asked. "We're way to many."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrt5EvWuSj
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ807wc6wtQv
"Please, Sam," said Daniel. "There are K-Pop groups whose numbers are more than the four groups combined and they carry out interviews just fine."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg1sM7F7eW
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzkCwV9A9t
"Daniel's right. But then again, we wouldn't want to make it too complicated," said Collins. "So, I think it would be okay if each leader in each group attend the interview. But I have to run it through Yang Hyun-Suk first. I bet he has also been receiving calls like I have."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ6gUcHNfB
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzzLuchJix
"Yes, but let's not do it on a weekend," I said. "We've had such a busy week and I bet what everyone wants to do is just stay in and get enough rest as possible."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuImNM2KGQV
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR671b5Wxnn
"I agree," said Daniel raising his fork in the air.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWYPNyKSQ2
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsI69xXozI
"Yes, you guys can rest for the entire weekend," said Collins. "But let's not forget that on Monday we are on a tight schedule from then onwards. BTW has to be right on track with creating new songs."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMbdlz830Y
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDekzyaZ70Y
Daniel dropped his fork after he had just picked up the bacon he had cut out and wanted to put in his mouth. I for one, almost choked on my orange juice as I gently placed the glass down on the table. 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuePIbohbL
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UPrPMge8O
"Did you just say songs, songs? Not 'a' song?" Daniel asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ6CoeNUvE
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrCP2hLvZg
"Ya," Collins answered. "You guys will have a little album. Won't be more than five songs."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SQmAp4CBB
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoFMQJ14nn
"Five songs in two weeks?" I asked also shocked. "That's too much pressure, don't you think?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVUwzVX85D
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPMVcFlADj
"I know. But you guys wanted BTW so badly. So, we thought it will be fun if you made an album."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VfBpywbLI
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZLZaRQkG0
"An album in two weeks. We have to come up with songs and produce them. It's going to take a lot of time."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK4Aiag3mO
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtesFzOfX9
"We know. That's why the three combined groups have excellent song writers, producers and choreographers. So whatever happens, you will all be fine. Remember, this isn't the first time you have worked under pressure."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZt5fcxCaR
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S6hj2J7CI
Daniel and I looked at each other and we knew he was right. Going through this obstacle wasn't going to be the first time for us, Toxins. We had gone through hard times after our debut turned out to be a disaster and the five of us at that time, had to make it work the second chance we got. And it really did count. Some would have called it luck. Others would have called it hard work. But the five of us called it putting our life on the line.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22xToyIH7m
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5ycxkQl86
"So," continued Collins as we went back to looking at him. "I hope you will be able to break this news to the group. We wanted to tell you all this yesterday but everyone was in a good mood."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaO2r2NyE0
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEAlURQnpz
"And you think telling them now will be great?" Daniel asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPyK2bhiRv
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvfkKj1QBn
"Not really, no. But it's best you know this today rather than on a Monday when you've had a good weekend of rest."
"I can get started on some lyrics," I said. "But it isn't going to be easy. I need some inspiration to write."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf70x5kPSa
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJosUre4MB
"I hope the inspiration comes soon. You should prepare and tell the others as well. Right now, you're in charge."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCIKy09OK4
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0quiOzjb6
"Wait, I'm in charge of BTW?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjv77SVkFk
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB2ewPCI66
"Yes, you're the leader."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWssOs1St7r
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYxSYXD5hH
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" I said waving my index finger. "I can't be leader."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5ljemdm0k
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9qsuC47zi
"Why?" Daniel asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGxlQ3MUg9
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrN4UX9vzt
"Because it's BTW and it's a huge group. I already have the four of you Toxins to deal with."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo0Catn70r
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDzHn2pMMq
"Ya, but what does it got to do with the others? The rest are more mature than we are, so, handling them will be fine."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakqwT66GGo
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqygcfzAJ40
I rolled my eyes at him. "Easy for you to say because you're not the one who has been given the responsibility."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCwIioGwff
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60XQNhxozF
Daniel smiled at me. "Good point."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgUTCBOBaL
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOtBKIB1R1
"Sam," said Collins. "I know you don't want this, but Yang Hyun-suk thinks the same too. There is no better person to take up this role."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqeNgmUfxS
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z7KSrMFwi
"But why can't it be someone like Mino or Seungyoon? Jisoo or Jennie? Zoey or Mike?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rTvpBLvOy
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3uMiAxphh
Daniel raised an eyebrow at me and so did Collins. Then they both started to laugh.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYbeDoaiA4
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYNYWpEESw
"What's so funny?" I asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTxRch0KIT
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1x37PIASV
"I can't believe you thought of Zoey, but, let's face it, Sam," said Collins."You have been chosen by Yang Hyun-suk and I to lead BTW."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB92csdlRPP
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisaAvZhdmu
"Well, Zoey's the one who came up the group name. Don't you think she deserves to be leader?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItYrPknUFf
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuSL1hQJOW
Collins and Daniel looked at each other and then back at me. They knew I had a point somehow.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikD72lBTbA
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmgOkNODCQ
"We know," said Collins. "But unfortunately, we need someone to push everyone to their best these next two weeks. And that person is you."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecjcSvxwEZ
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux8qMoQP8o
If I was a kid, I would thrown my arms and legs in the air and wailed to make a point, but I wasn't. I should have seen this coming. We never thought of who should be the leader. We should have chosen amongst ourselves instead of the managers doing it for us.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjJUkAaNC7
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMVyWAWFKE
"Fine," I said as I folded my arms. "I'll make a call or send a message to the others and see where we can start."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T9PIywXyG
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CK0jn997F
"And that's why we chose you," said Collins as he smiled at me. "Now, I have to go about my business. When Lee wakes up, tell her to call me."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeg3AqWpB6
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf5IQ32pkJ
"Sure," Daniel and I said at the same time.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p6eJl8JCU
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy46wIJ2ODm
Collins soon stood up from the table and left for his room. He must have gone to pick up a few things before leaving. It was just Daniel and I at the table now.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE5mzNd9eF
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzARwSsver
"So, how are you going to break it out to all of BTW that we are making an album?" Daniel asked as he continued to eat his breakfast.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1ZMkUGKCb
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOJ7hAwOQc
"The usual," I said as I lifted the glass of orange juice to my lips. "Straight and simple."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtd2GDsQ3z
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt4u9aUjdO
"Mmm, we're really in for it, aren't we?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhbPSHUJ8M
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Re1nb7L1p
"Totally. We wanted BTW and we got it without thinking of the consequences."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrjghspEuY
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuHu5Lz30w
"Yikes. I know of one person who might laugh at us right now."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvao6bwa2P
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GPjIPwC0C
I drank my juice as I knew who Daniel was talking about.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY0I4c1QiA
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTabwBge6Q
"G-Dragon," we both said at the same time.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl7Bk7jQ7e
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrvgIGnpYC
After we finished our breakfast, Collins finally left. Then, Daniel and I both went to our rooms to take a shower. Just as I was done, I walked back into the bedroom and Zoey was wide awake and seated on her bed.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdQPN0MfjM
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBfh5TfcOB
"Morning," I greeted her as I was drying my wet hair.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9VeTdyJXE
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQysiN5gcCZ
She yawned before she answered, "morning. Did you just get up a few minutes ago?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1gjXbhWXb
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gJPHsOOke
"No. I actually woke up like an hour ago. You better take a shower and eat your breakfast."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd8WIaS44w
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4QtBcftZy
"Why? Are we going somewhere today?" she asked as she rubbed her sleepy eyes.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyylSBXsIPo
"I don't know. Maybe." I shrugged my shoulders. "Just go take a shower."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlRLseLqGz
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahhYrsMBao
"Okay, I'm going." Zoey pushed aside her bed covers and got out of bed. In her sleepy state, she walked all the way to the bathroom.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7L7qejeyV
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AaZEArxKY
As soon as she had locked the door behind her, I took my phone that was on my bedside and went online. I had messages coming in from all over. From the fans, famous artists and celebrities who were commenting about the video and all. I had a bunch of email too and two of them came from both my mum and dad. I made sure to reply to them first. I'll get to replying to the other messages later.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPrvfhehHL
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMw4pbq9o1
I soon went on my WhatsApp app and ignoring all the messages that were coming in, I went on to make a group consisting of BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER, a.k.a, BTW. Luckily, apart from the four Toxins, I had the others' phone numbers and I immediately added them all in the group.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR57i0mTlU
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCqYZQfKfQ
After that was done, I went on to post something:897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTr3VxXsg1
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHbLVe8Rmv
"Morning everyone. Some of you are asleep right now and would see this message earlier on, but I have something to tell you and I don't know if you're going to like it. We, as in BTW, are going to make an album and I was told this morning by Collins. So, we have to gather together....."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s6LpYFswg
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zleS2mvhf
I thought about the message and erased it. I heard Zoey turn on the shower. I didn't know how I was going to write this. I did tell Daniel that I was going to keep it straight and simple. I started to type and this time I wrote:897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfcBl4zANc
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlekSWY324
"Morning everyone, Sam here. Big announcement: We're going to make an album and we have to start working on it fast. We only have two weeks, so let's make it count."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6TKKX7lqi
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL69qjV3TIg
I looked at the message again and I realized I sounded like some of my high school teachers whenever they were announcing about a test or a quiz. They were simple and straightforward and I hoped my message portrayed the same even when I knew others might not like it. Besides, most of us never liked it when our teachers announced about having tests like that either. I guess we just had to deal with it.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH0Ergl8Ff
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuigq3Iz0on
I quickly dressed up and since I had a feeling that I wouldn't be going out today, I wore comfy clothes. A cotton white t-shirt and a blue cotton trousers that wasn't so tight. After drying my hair, I tied it up into a rough bun and I got my notebook and pen in the drawer then went out to the lounge and sat on the couch.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmxkUtUq4I
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aRuwfVj8b
A good ten minutes had passed and as I sat there with the top of my pen tapping against my forehead and my notebook on my lap, I couldn't come up with an idea for a song or any random lyrics. This wasn't pretty. We only had two weeks. I really needed people here so that we can work all this out.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRZtKCbYP8
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVhI7EGEYJ
"Morning," came Lee whom I hadn't heard come into the lounge. She was still in her white night dress with her white night gown.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJQZIzhKep
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC089ZT2VSZ
"Morning," I said. "Oh, Collins said you should call him when you get up."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4yfMJP2bg
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoCX8IA6J9
Lee yawned. "Okay. I really needed the extra sleep and I have never felt so good. I'll just go freshen up and call him."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiYIxKcRl7
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpgx2UVRVH
Just as she turned around to leave, she stopped. She turned around again and looked at me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoKeR0eRdB
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauQwIIf8x0
"Wait," she said. "You're here alone with your notebook and pen." I looked at her as she paused for a bit. It looked like she was trying to put something together.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUyd06seZG
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDMeQyuslk
"Oh, my. Collins told you the plan, didn't he?" Lee asked, her eyes now wide awake.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbSXp6Jfqj
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5RRKGFGjg
"Ya," I answered as I shrugged my shoulders. "Daniel and I were the unfortunate ones to hear it straight from his mouth."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCyxYFc69Q
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYqNxe5Mpp
"I thought he was going to tell you guys, like, tomorrow. But I think it's good you know about it now. We only have two weeks."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyeNMyMlSx
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxXfDF30bY
"That's why I'm here. But so far, I can't seem to come up with a single idea for one song."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0qfOhgJ9U
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNghvMb6iV
"It will come around. It always does."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTcMpGAS2V
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI3ON3RqY4
"I need inspiration," I said as I threw my head back against the couch. "That's what I need. And a lot of my team's help."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5uPX0pWHh
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRkQe4TMcu
"Did someone say help?" Daniel asked as he came into the lounge. "Morning Lee."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKkql1R0EM
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uUJKyKsQs
"Morning," Lee greeted him. "Have you told these guys they are making an album?" she asked as she looked at me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBCTjcNxVw
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqLPSbksxQ
"I've gone as far as creating a WhatsApp group to inform the others," I answered. "They will get the message and contact me immediately."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdNADPJ6Lt
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLURUyUhS6R
"You made a group chat?" Daniel asked looked at his phone that he carried in his hand and checked. "Oh, I see it."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ij53QDSxT
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7S64NC4cY
"Has anyone responded yet?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIlbPkXzSv
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb6xB3ChaB
"No, it's like everyone is still asleep. Or probably just ignoring their phones."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicM0mIVOhx
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf4B0fsOAD
"They are asleep for sure," said Lee. "Christine's still in bed."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAdfmB9wTR
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLkYuBMxQa
"Mike just got into the shower," said Daniel.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocd11Ujos9
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZUSgoMkOj
"And so did Zoey," I said. "I won't tell them there and then in case the news would make them lose their appetite."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvqqg9ew55
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYaEuqzxw4
"Good call," said Lee. "I'll catch you guys later." And she soon left the lounge.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMWwfjS9Fi
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZhIoeC5x4
"Any ideas, yet?" Daniel asked as he came to sit next to me on the couch.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSKaMZLoUm
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJGCFuEKUN
"Does this answer your question?" I asked as I showed him my blank notepad.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiHXjSldCq
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaCaIaiiot
"Well, there are also no crumpled papers on the floor, so, this is a bad sign."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWjnfOLJjb
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb3upoDMcd
"A bad one indeed. Do you have any ideas?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8Ea4Vl1MT
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVwRnBIfiG
"To be honest, no."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaUJaMKsDx
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPkilCJHsB
The two of us sat there in silence, then just when I thought an idea was emerging, it quickly sank deep within the depths of my mind.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdElgRy0MY
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4ThzSyQbw
"I thought I had it," I said as I later on sighed. "I think this weekend was really meant for resting. Right now, I can't think straight."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVYFRMEFLO
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAmTLRIGnp
"Maybe all you need is inspiration like you suggested earlier."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV381ijw0h
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnX1jWOskf
"I wonder where I'm going to get it from. Can you check if anyone else in the group has responded to the message?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtb8GSd9Ny
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt1ANw2RDf
Daniel did just that and still there was nothing.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoppoAPylRS
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJKGOrkeSu
"Okay, this isn't working," I said as I stood up from the couch, leaving the notebook and the pen behind on the seat. I started to pace up and down. "Our first song what should it be about?" I pointed my finger at Daniel as he was the only one there.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZmCp6la2s
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbGkrzQIWa
"Heartbreak," he answered. "We haven't done a heartbreak song in a while."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlzIgobxiv
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpqv9zHScE
I took my pen and notebook and wrote. "Okay, heartbreak. But you know heartbreak songs are easily written when you've really gone through one. Has anyone been in one lately?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcnBXQOtG6
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsG2K8L3Qs
"I guess not." Daniel stared up at the ceiling and I could tell that his mind wheels were turning. "You and Zoey had gotten into a fight some time ago over G-Dragon, didn't you?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fJlqhAFoI
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ffZL79LNz
"Ya, some of us wouldn't want to talk about it. Besides, it wasn't much of a big deal. Zoey didn't go much into a heartbreak because she believed that I had betrayed her."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIk9dyS97x
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKE9kIHh7U
"You know, it's not always about the girl losing the guy she likes that hurts. Even friendship with her best friend goes into jeopardy."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqB5Jwwot4
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7MiBCLMWi
I paused for a minute as I thought over Daniel's statement. An idea sparked in my head.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9oaiOYggq
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJgiE39WTE
I quickly wrote it down. Daniel looked at me and he stood up from his seat so as to see what I had written.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG57a6JE178
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuV0ZDoADI
"Your idea might have given me a better one," I said as I looked at him.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8D7E7fsOb
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiZtOm0Psz
"Okay, what have you come up with?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF3zjQ8gIF
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1j6JTlYiG
"As I suggested earlier, heartbreak songs are better when you've been through it yourself. So, instead of writing the song in Zoey's point of view, I thought of writing it on mine."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuwoic4tpJ
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBI66eJJdb
"I just heard my name," said Zoey as she came into the room. She saw Daniel and I standing alongside each other.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjH0OrdCA0
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe7v5LR3Va
"Morning, Zoey," said Daniel.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZobmVSmXZI
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE93nGJHzb
"Morning," Zoey replied with a smile. That assured me that she hadn't seen the message yet. "Oh, breakfast. I'm starving."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnTmKEFiOp
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg0EIlW4Va
She settled herself at the dining table. Daniel and I went back to the song.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ549H33NMDi
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFmknyYu7J
"Okay, so you want to write on your point of view. How?" he asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHHFcIj2w0
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXofifewulB
"You know how G-Dragon and I are always having a go at each other and that at some point in time it became totally serious?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaFATfmvky
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w6LlQVrTK
"Ya," he nodded his head.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdtk2eU01x
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr8SrnJbFa
"Are you guys writing a song?" Zoey asked as she ate her breakfast.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nnOuPbt2o
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3lK9sDbJW
"Kind of," I answered. I went back to Daniel. "So, as much as it was heart breaking, I think I can come with an idea from it."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIpHqx1Bnr
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YtKRXVUSY
Daniel looked at what I wrote on the notebook. "A Sad Song," was what I wrote.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5fOwudZtL
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfwERZa54m
"A sad song? So, it will be a sad heartbreak song or what?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIK7jJJGIP
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z9hzR3N2f
"Not really. I want to turn it around a bit. As sad as the song can be, I want to make it a little fun."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeIRwN7Sn5
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fx6LjDJL7
"Make a sad song sound fun? How?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs8kpzPrSB
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnopIgGMLak
Mike soon came into the lounge and he greeted all over us as he went to join Zoey for breakfast. We all greeted him back.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8aTtdamZ3
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q6nd4ydGH
"You know when there are those times you just want to sit down and listen to a sad song to cure your broken heart?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2dnFgVVMA
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3AqJkLOgx
"Ya, except that sad songs kind of make it worse."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMo0odbyi2
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2psxIShKo
"Exactly. Now what if you want so badly to sing a sad song but instead, you sing a song that will make you happy despite you being broken?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfo1l2VYvh
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsIqIY57dP
"Wait, so you never used to feel bad after your fights with GD?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj3GfBd2qs
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8yYve2pan
"I would. But sometimes you just try to find a sad song to comfort you but it doesn't really come to mind."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCEmYiWC7y
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ6ktEdPmB
I soon scribbled on my notebook and Daniel was right there, waiting to see what I had written. Before I was done, Christine came rushing into the lounge still in her pyjamas.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rGRB0OTA1
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNsbf2usEt
"We are making an album!?" she exclaimed.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADWRVQtm2p
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM6uKANbGN
Time seemed to have stopped when she said those words. I looked up at her and she was looking back at me with her eyes wide open and her phone in her hand.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdst0GLGco
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjykWiC6xSW
"Wait, what?" Mike asked. "Did you just say we are making an album?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPEX4pQcXG
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXwGi0Q1qV
"Sam sent a message on WhatsApp saying that BTW is making an album," said Christine, her eyes still on me. "Is this some kind of prank?"
Daniel and I didn't say a word as Zoey and Mike also took their phones and checked it for themselves. Both of their faces turned as white as snow upon seeing the message. They stood up from their seats and their eyes fell on me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuutS9YOhL
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28S1fX4jyP
"Tell me this is one of your brilliant lies, Sam," said Mike. "You're pretty good at them and you know it."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczscx4dRlz
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChr1TJTl2z
"Umm, as much as I want it to be a lie, I'm afraid it's true," I said as I lowered my pen and notebook and looked at the other three Toxins. "We had a talk with Collins this morning."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX3Wo5EKKS
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qrFN3OknO
"By 'we' you mean-?" Zoey asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupRmokubYm
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekhhl40z9q
"Daniel and I," I answered. "We talked about it over breakfast and trust me, we didn't think that it would come to this. But the managers had agreed that we make an album of not more than five songs."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDtZQUQTZ1
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7vhvvT7s7
"Five songs!" Mike couldn't believe it. "We have two weeks and we have five songs to write and produce."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8l717NaPr
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mdgvESIKc
"Ya, trust us, we told him the same thing and we weren't happy either," said Daniel. "We still aren't, but there is simply nothing we can do. We wanted BTW, so, this is what we get in return."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7pauYZUT5
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkqbSmWhxl
"Dang it," said Zoey. "And here I thought we might just have a blast with one more song till we leave but instead, we get to do five."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VSPmXIoqb
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyRp08ax8O
"Has anyone in the group responded yet?" I asked. 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5OZBArD2s
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR3voQ4rWc
"I saw a few messages just now," said Mike. "Looks like the others aren't happy about this either."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9XFGF7rfc
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlCVDu0hFS
"Well, Daniel and I were planning on the first song and we really need everyone on this. I have to respond in the group and see where we can meet up. That's if anyone wants to."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvI0r458Kk
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkIHPm2VFn
"Great," said Christine, rolling her eyes. "There will be one person who would be laughing at us because of this."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgxPGxxpvM
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAJtxDIdgt
"G-Dragon," the five of us responded at the same time with annoyance.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUuN5XXkIi
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmCzbJmipz
"Okay, turn those frowns around, everyone," said Daniel. "We have a busy day ahead."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAZEGDymOc
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna1oVKsEwb
"Ya, for sure," said Christine as she made her way out of the lounge.
"Don't worry," I encouraged her. "We have been put under pressure before. And as unexpected as this is, I know we can do it."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OejU59gaQ
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxi9V0D9vI
"Tell me you're the leader, Sam," said Christine as she looked at me, standing at the doorway of the lounge.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz4fT658sh
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3BqmYibMm
"I am." Christine smiled and I saw Zoey and Mike throw each other happy looks through the corner of my eye. At least that gave them some comfort.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKGvOfUiLi
897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpTFXXX8Gu
"Now, go get ready," I said as Christine rushed into the hall. "We have an album to make."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxITMC29yl
