We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0JG10ABWU
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMieLvH9eJ
We stood outside the gates of the building and were allowed inside by security. The building was four or five storeys high. Yong-nam continued to lead the way till we went inside.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVNMKQTbIY
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCM0RIwd76
We were in the reception area and there were two female receptionists at their desk. Yong-nam greeted one of them while the other was currently on a phone call. Yong-nam talked to the free receptionist and as soon as they were done, she turned and smiled at us welcoming us to the agency as she spoke in English.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAJu2LL2TI
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ56vKEclon
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbcY6w0skI
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH978RxJkFq
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGRlPhFc70
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIfIPmwl4w
"Come on," said Yong-nam, "the others must probably be wondering why I've taken so long."
Yong-nam led us to the elevator a few feet away from the desk. He pressed the up button and we waited for a few seconds til the doors flew open. Just before we stepped in, Zoey held us to a stop as she stood in front of us, blocking the way to the elevator.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wR9rufd4p
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7oSsCVWPs
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEH2qz74jj
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5DLEvFFhB
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40qDdybHjf
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDrm4kwagt
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VTRqZosMe
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsklDZ8KDx
"Oh, brother," Mike muttered as he stared at the ceiling. "Not this again. The elevator is going to close if we don't go in."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3818jiuAGd
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBysYjhyosE
"We're seven, Zoey," I said. "Don't worry, the elevator will hold us just fine."
"Okay, just checking," said Zoey with a smile. "You remember what happened last time, right?"713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy3CbUyONs
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJccxhMNnb
Us Toxins would never forget the day when the five of us and the other five BigBang members got squeezed up in the elevator back at YG. There was barely enough room and it was at that point when we thought we would plummet to our deaths.
"Okay, since there's nothing to worry about," said Yong-nam, "should we get going?"713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfqDY5dAHT
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCGkWnWoD2
"Yes, please," said Daniel.
We all went inside and the elevator doors closed before us. Yong-nam who was closer to the elevator buttons, pressed one of them and the elevator started to move upwards. As soon as it did, the soft melodious elevator music started to play.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAR4ErbiVt
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWNRIxHgYK
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA638lltC3
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXnwFa5tkX
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5f2gNOUXw
Soon the elevator came to a stop and the doors flew open. In front of us stood a long carpeted hallway. Yong-nam stepped out, leading the way as usual. He told us where we were; the recording studios.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVEonmsO8d
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PSBVTRDvJ
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHykmtywwHi
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0RvPZ7ZGr
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y14sx0clw
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OKaF1dIMr
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQI6etlCwK
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8yLYWacK3
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR79fw37nwj
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVghsJmjV9
"We were also working on writing our song back at the hotel," said Zoey, "we needed some motivation, so that's why we came to buy doughnuts."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYLGRLfW78
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r2xhAZuQM
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIBb8jxD3n
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EbnJPFtBQ
"Kind of. But they really work on Sam here," Zoey pointed her thumb at me as I walked behind her. I rolled my eyes. That's so not true. Well..., maybe with chocolate.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUWMdCjfo9
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X8adtwXil
"Doughnuts aren't really my favourite, you know?" I said as I looked at Christine beside me. She quickly noticed my eyes and flushed a little.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH3k9SiWDT
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEfq5u8oU2
Zoey might like chocolate dip doughnuts, but Christine "loves" doughnuts. During our school days, she sometimes wouldn't take the school bus home just so she could buy doughnuts at the nearest store.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75qZl9c5PJ
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CcsNCQ8gJ
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnLSdOZuET
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi2UBNCFX4
We soon stopped by one of the doors down the hall and Yong-nam knocked with his free hand. For a second, no one answered.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICAfNQB9LX
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ5FAi5nP4
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7w3tqHCbP
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp6Mcc8tzq
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjd8DZGnZm
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bBk7S0zD1
It took a few seconds till the door finally opened. Daehyun was the one behind it and his eyes weren't fixed on us as he seemed to be engaged in some conversation currently taking place in the room. But soon afterwards, his eyes focused on us that he did the unthinkable.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9E8PYCs8E
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVOv94Rtze
He screamed.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLKb4w6GDH
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LuNg6Wh1M
The door shut quickly in our faces. Well, that's weird. Everyone of us in the hall, looked at each other with puzzled looks. Did Daehyun just do that? I could understand if he were a girl, but a guy....? I'm finding it a little hard to believe.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3bILoG61v
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK4TMF6gWx
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINswlAqwtv
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycruLLcCx2
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjHiih3qtb
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoJjQWojSG
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyB0gOE3uM
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtm7WtEjqY
The door opened again and this time, it was Zelo. He gasped and I thought he might shut the door in front of us like Daehyun, but he didn't.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTrR28WZd4
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vjdcyaijS
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0aTVYLNfY
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMykT2LMmy
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xe7wfUdnp
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9eBeSgXcM
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXh7VkKFPA
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQhV99aw4F
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsNFxZ0tkR
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhZaCOJnvO
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOtiCYcENb
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0hziJl4qW
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgvrh5IJNQ
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3ozdibu9Y
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zNhu835bd
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6VNRPNlW7
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFe0klsccM
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb5SJRfgpd
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96gFYiYDJ9
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbxmbUSpRh
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTroQlCclJ
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLtLIsLv6n
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV7DCoj2B2
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqAC1jQXlW
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrYw6dZGMe
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4pPQXP4Mb
As we entered the room, I noticed that the place looked busy. There was the recording room on the other side of the room and the sitting area looked a little messy with papers all around and Young-jae was picking up some of the mess.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL88aRYkay
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXCuPsC5gB
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV61xRtem8
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD38pzfN6z
"Nonsense, you guys couldn't have come at a better time," said Young-jae as he threw away the crumpled papers in the waste bin located at the corner.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2LKiVJKk6
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP3vJzO7P1
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEpbFUimUp
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC3sHqZNDZ
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqcTwAndOl
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse5mvlVZRE
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOBI5hbSxF
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkZT6MAMsP
"Same here," said Zelo as he came to stand in between my two brothers. He's way taller than the both of them and I tried not to point it out.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh13p2GGktt
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4uEOgJ0N6
"Please, sit down," said Daehyun as he came towards Christine and me, held each of our hands, and dragged us to one of the couches next to the one Zoey sat.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1FiXdQ0Lx
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB3TPVa8oq
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMyxDXRj0A
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMHVp35MWx
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo8wLOQZWT
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3RMEzIcIC
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi3KiECiBW
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT7bLi67eB
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8GLbYIq2O
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOsbvVTpt8
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NqINKbGOd
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvrerX2Vw9
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtg1q7SxvV
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuRoglSNVF
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKeTUdFmPT
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoyYbbiyr5
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ6w3dtrSm
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3ZNtdnEBU
"I second to that," said Zoey.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIofeMhaOO
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICAckY7vfS
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP0WolzADZ
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyqjOkCMvE
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9Hm54V8yt
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5MfUhiVsX
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F0t3LjsLu
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdLUfGqHuq
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5sj2qdNbC
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn5gVQq4yh
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7umnlhKAEl
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoNc3CfSe5
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCqUwzKFGJ
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDntKGb4nU
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhQouevTof
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdWG1xnQKA
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YHgJrHMmg
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtXlIjvI9D
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDcMcsopt4
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFE3nOdRnJ
"Yep," Young-jae answered.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh2bbDpW5K
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89AvxeDtyG
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVxZYNkTHf
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrUNSKURt2
"We've all been there," said Mike after swallowing his first bite, "it's hell when you can't seem to figure out the right lyrics."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSWJtLXouL
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBAz7w7QWQ
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRuJHR99JQ
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi4CPQX4QD
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDki1AVS4QH
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhthgpxRBP
"We were actually supposed to do it as a group," said Daniel. He had just finished his first doughnut and stretched out his hand for another. "I mean, the whole BTW. But the others didn't show up."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rkWz8FKma
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs0smQSz2p
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBjqYItHW3
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRrQ9ZQ1BQ
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm3VLHuZS0
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDAsecOrtz
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohOjl8QqCK
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsEtUJbNML
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu4kYX2oVM
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl57CVxqlt
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufJzFXWFua
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnIDWAuXHw
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUQX7cjeMs
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXlHtToyyM
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG6U9t6lIk
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoIkqRpntm
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRDwnpYeCH
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySsoz41qnC
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWtgq085R6
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBOGnCz7PU
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKEuY7CqdX
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh3FpkcMH4
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4sLlx6tlQ
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF37HMcxJa
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfCVbTtvBh
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtT8j0HjV9
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHNMWESmP7
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3zwgF9dW8
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8QQ5Xyvw6
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk3rgRURYk
That's right. We had agreed that we weren't going to stay here long. I also shouldn't forget about the other program. Maybe now was the perfect time to tell the other Toxins about it.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyi3pfZQj0
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbM9rwBF9P
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06bMP1qvRH
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnulsu2trne
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRORAfXQwE
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3Z0aGNf4J
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp24u2fDXML
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptfmzgCAK9
I took another doughnut from the box, wondering how I'm going to break it to the others that we had plans tonight. But as soon as I straightened up to say something, Lee said:713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ2RfhxceT
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyzMWDKtee
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELNgtLzaz3
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ClmdV22Aa
I looked at her, and I am glad that no one noticed the look on my face. The others around me muttered happily to each other. I raised an eyebrow at Lee wondering what she's getting at.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98nM9mTwHw
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0o8Fe8H3d
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tDReOaJZ4
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBELGjavSB2
"Yep," Lee replied with a smile on her face. "And if you manage to make a tremendous amount of progress by the evening, you might just receive a reward."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJgw0cOC3N
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd8mu9ek6g
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ7GuIbOZw
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjBlGaFTD0
"What reward?" Christine asked.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGIMLGqpMh
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGEV2Wj5WZ
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBX7fHTfqI
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HjH8Y9yPP
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqNfd1UC0q
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy3m3DdaiH
Lee quickly swallowed. "One thing's certain, I'm neither your bodyguard nor your babysitter. Oh.., don't worry about Collins. I'll just tell him you preferred to work alongside B.A.P for now."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiGcFfMsz1
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsTW4D5E0c
I gave Lee a look and I knew why she's doing all this. We tire her out a lot, so this is her only chance to get us out of her radar at least for a few hours. Who knows, she might just find herself at a massage parlor, relaxing. She's taking advantage that she knows about tonight.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBUWxxsM6g
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jnu51QJt3
"You shouldn't worry about them, Lee," said Yong-nam as he smiled at her. "If they cause any trouble, I'll be sure to handle them."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwBleVCaFh
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5eb5iJwyF
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszBE0U5BW5
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWjjsvHbK6
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR6I4IJHe9
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObV5dDBJqt
"I believe you, Yong-nam," said Lee as she smiled back. "I doubt if they would give you any trouble, that's if they will be serious about receiving that reward."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlW9Q3BiIX
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJx24TPo4z
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOgAfEJ06m
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFzCidzxVx
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXOJJtKaul
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlGYcxQTef
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WU1xMWj7V
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx32mrznHee
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyLEgv0BIi
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCCNppRGwC
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VEXhNcuCP
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp9A4SgRBN
I sighed again. Maybe I should just ruin this for her by telling the others about tonight. But..., staying here and working on our song with B.A.P didn't seem like a bad idea. Who knows, we might get the lyrics we need and we also get to help B.A.P with theirs.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8tJITQoAu
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZAbsiAKRc
"We'll do our best," I said.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwdeVSUKTU
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD4dDUg2Ue
"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetJTCyCjC1
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7ivonpTCy
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA5W30Sguj
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ25YHdujN
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt8r1cu1SE
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX9aE3QEEX
"We all did," said Daehyun.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFvxojxpdg
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPXXsLBlby
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxGJqh4pCh
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXghCVLgR7a
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujgx25ZOQh
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNR55tJIOV
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG7FRJb0cp
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFv4lTCjGO
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdslX6SFeu
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrwlDUVKum
"Oh, you don't have to. But if you insist, then okay," she said and turned to look at the other Toxins. "Be on your best behaviour, guys."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbSxt94Bvi
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOlGVF2CSr
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPWurMvkhl
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2OS3bAiSG
"I really hope so. Come on, Sam. See you next time, B.A.P." she waved at the B.A.P members and they also did the same.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pVkQcE3LM
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD4ppB9oa5
Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbPW1n2XAl
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghDutlWKWd
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya6NRXr3zg
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnznvqg6n7
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd2GgPq7Tx
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ4q2L8q0K
"No, you just did that because you wanted us out of your hairs for a while." I gave Lee the I-know-your-plan look.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4EXghwBI4
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnnla8COnL
"Wow, you really know me that well." She chuckled. "But you can't deny it; leaving you here to work with B.A.P may be just what you need to make progress on the song."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nYXcdZJi4
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlScUOuorFV
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtxElVLsqB
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BIF2cCjYg
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltQfZK0xpR
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAamDAqwxs
"Sometimes you need to motivate people by saying such things," she answered. "It might not seem like it, but you saw how excited they were."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e6tLPU2me
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGvWhWkQ73
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgjQ74qvHD
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHbPfrUjO7
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ610DkLvJwU
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxS6n419TM
"You'll see. The others will work so hard, the song will turn out great," said Lee as the elevator doors slide open in front of us. "It's good since you guys already have the idea. It will be more perfected this time around."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQi9K6GCWC
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSYfxebgzJ
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHT6D25dZl
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdd0bFoQRW
"You do that." Lee walked into the elevator and she pressed the button to the ground floor. She soon looked at me and gave me a thumbs up. "All the best."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJtltqmAZ1
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyLKhqHIU7
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkCBCd0uy8
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSL9LHYbbj
I made my way back to the studio room and just before I reached the door, I took my phone out and sent Daesung a message. As soon as I was done, I put my phone away and entered the room.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg662o7iMZ
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXNzSkLdP3
"Good, Sam is back," said Zoey.
Time stopped for a second. Just when Zoey said that, I knew something's up and I had to prepare for whatever it is.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CCo7MarUk
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIaLrFiHzD
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTbTCK3yyh
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVanDfQnPh
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPHgWymZXI
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzb1klYE6w
Just as I thought. What a bummer.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSNQRFLXpk
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RhReKeFrX
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy6L35aDDe
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuKemU4KH8
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWezKzOxM9A
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZrKrCRHqI
"Too fast," I said as I slowly approached them. Everyone else seemed to be back to where they sat previously except for Yong-guk whom I found standing with pieces of paper in his hands.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtHktIqICV
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeQstyy0SH
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAl50K7b6Z
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUCV9VM5HE
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0bCY9yPik
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiszURC4ic
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAg6oOwdJ6
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlBV8pk3Lk
"These guys were about to start arguing," said Yong-nam as he stood up from the floor and came to stand next to me. "So, I had to calm them down."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq5jIKiD5B
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJS64lx2Te
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZLVUowEPy
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcGFfCwxCQ
Mike scoffed with his arms folded. "Ya, you can say that," he said without a care in the world, yet I felt a hint of annoyance in his voice.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblPngnBmdi
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq4hboiUto
As much as I wanted to know what Yong-nam might have done or said to them, we had to deal with the main issue at hand. Whose song are we working on first?713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kQELI5MhK
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIpsAgTt6x
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGaTXgeKoV
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6dckS1AQc
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBXJScQ7L7
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o1YZwYDjn
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xKp7MKIyu
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mq2xpczTA
I scratched my head as I began to think. Both groups here are struggling to come up with lyrics for their song, so which should be worked on first? If I suggested ours, as much as B.A.P have us as their guests since we bought ourselves here, didn't seem bad at all. But B.A.P had the idea to offer us help with our song first.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8ukTEdQaB
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR4QsfpPcp
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueNzcbSwc1
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztws1AC4jf
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWMCaaupKb
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H5eQTPwsS
"The fact that they are the ones who thought of all of us helping each other, I don't see why they can't have their song worked on first," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN8e6zO8Mk
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxh7ruDaIG
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX8StoOxyo
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLevmPgIbI
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf6VeLxm5M
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc1NO3SMBo
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRG1BVp2Lz
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnLeRt27BX
Mike and Christine didn't argue either. The rest of the B.A.P members smiled at me that I felt like looking away. Their smiles were suddenly making me blush for some reason.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvdrKQxm7k
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K7UY9sABa
"Okay," said Yong-guk, everyone's eyes turned to him. "We can start working on the song right now, but before that we have to take note of time since the Toxins aren't going to stay the whole day."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6FI5XqHPP
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fzht1bssI
"I agree," I said and Yong-nam beside me looked at the time on his watch.
"I'll be your time keeper," he said. "And this is close to 11:00 AM. The Toxins leave this place close to 4:30 PM. So each piece of work has at least two hours and thirty minutes."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWWkkTgfdx
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwalizYWJB1
"Sounds good," said Himchan.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kmumFWSJf
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QO9HZSLwt
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt3wVXRA7Y
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLp6c4iz2J
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV9D0LINho
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvnf0FEp0a
The whole room had a different atmosphere to it. I could tell everyone's excited and geared up. This would be a great experience for some of us. We, Toxins already worked with BigBang on our single. But now we get to work on two songs and with a different group too.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldXxoYMsIm
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9MpcWXxTu
I turned to look at Yong-guk. His eyes found mine and he seemed to have read my mind as we both smiled at each other.
"Let's get to work," I said.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMtgJZXW2u
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOaMCbjQO6
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.
