We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh3YnqKcGV
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd3W4Ri1iv
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6fA7cEYoM
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06wR1YmeaY
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXKleIHMIh
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn1Ie382jn
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFMEm1bR7b
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLSMobYypJ
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv1vnlyMCv
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoOcNaHO9D
"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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9xG8uJhSl
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon7Xyt5cLe
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQfz2QosVZ
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssdIJhH8R6
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFnHO5Jvkx
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegCK1Z4GEB
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa0vHN5deo
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBaEByYGW8
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3i7jpWrgf
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfajBneRWaU
"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?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME8pf8kAvd
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkDpXouirU
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?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR4kio5Wmu
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWaMr9hgQ8
"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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SI3NRH4i5
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgCEI9v18Z
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa2kLlSwxx
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eEhZ09RiA
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGispjrP0yu
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh18ewk89em
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNlMCcseg1
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLV2bNxjt6
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvCWQ6NrNi
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyodXhOwwAy
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmuhgXCQ8h
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT4VaE1lEv
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJti42k0AHs
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOrkkLhn13
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEQgBhYMDk
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxhentwjUP
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIgLjQnB4Y
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCQnuFgTI3
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm8fS8NJ3A
"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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5bs43rlcS
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xZlu1IRuk
"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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT9cE2VtOd
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnT16Ra05h
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIrd7i41Tp
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21dX9GKWw4
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYLXhVPvA4
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhkQL7MSGM
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe8QVVY55J
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq3r9b5apc
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHZBbAAbYA
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwNtf1XGvL
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa7YS3OX1W
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6oAyAnRly
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWztFMSUek
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdublxYYtyF
He screamed.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcCQE0airF
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZaQZ6zGJj
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8PKUQwBLq
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOMOZsvt2A
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey5THbonn0
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1boZ0047Gj
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07sNku5Bqc
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡripWpf0bxw
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCGVndrmGI
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqxz2q6VQc
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoEKl6xVUC
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI2eoGUL1Z
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpECfUIbU5
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsR7QpBAS3
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnwPJH0RS8
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj6NZ3GbG3
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAjCZoklXS
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97USIAOyDz
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCX51eAWaf
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuiFKaWX5w
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHIeBGEwOk
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf1RLoNGvm
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAZhs2RZOZ
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpa6Y6O9L6
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMAZ5agPHz
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI6osbh4AW
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P5Q47lKLi
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7s5kvT07h
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA3esuTtEG
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpQGGTA1eF
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGwSOT5wWE
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JjCBuan5a
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBLhaScCTw
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF5o4WY4LD
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yT0o3BFhD
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgAmSH9xdh
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNf0vHeOXG
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3nbcup0QE
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Ro9stp77
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9ibgfA6cX
"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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKSQxKiLe1
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNfD5e1Sg8
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwjMgrNYQB
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRpUqpHaW8
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6BzShoJo5
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEam5TwnEbu
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvlFvRLsNu
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpuKSv8m2S
"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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ7svd2PFk
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5AY750gqW
"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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YKU2wRKNW
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQN1a57to9
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQlFs808uM
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqszVrG6ZIR
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP2nfO1YLm
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPnoHFSVGp
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nB0XarcJR
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4MF2AZMvS
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0bUtSkUth
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX9xhKPwny
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIeTcWA3eR
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBThwPHLko
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFvt5xsWy3
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt0jyOOH6O
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXOrdHeOO0
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVUN2bSUyE
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPnRatwMtP
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWRgAVohoE
"I second to that," said Zoey.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML8kAtbeuo
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu250mPNR2Z
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvTHZLjBxe
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeqKVYKWym
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEbZcwAKiK
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x2f61U9rx
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2A8IevfBa
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ457i6cFzs5
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSKVcryKcf
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEp4Q3iIdh
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ytp2zNSKt
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJyxw473sN
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVmQ0nVwkx
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkCESCSBA0
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eChNgBVCe
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6Le63IBzF
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmZCH9htuC
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeQYR2AgLn
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrp1zUV4vK
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8Nxv1P04U
"Yep," Young-jae answered.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNpkT1y7pc
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwaoX4y0fg
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqePTE7U7yb
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGKANE5T5b
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCJJekGVLT
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ACykdhSyr
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8YC6Vql7D
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJnPffSZeq
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhTn01FFMu
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGT4H278aF
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k6AN8MdkV
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwial6ghU5
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8OaaWQBr4
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr9V650nQe
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcSI4xNAOz
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2EFOZWEas
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UodKp4m2u
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbDicJllYO
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3RySDamlQ
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp4QaZ93yn
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZsIiHNGmt
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3nfVIWCzE
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEKMa21jtW
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2gzADFNlu
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0lKVGLlN5
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDFZUMQPUf
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWdy1DYb31
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wVacFbGwy
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSLqhFqG4W
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3482gEetTP
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnyg4arOdV
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQtudLiJEm
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6DXIToxPi
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJmAbVQZbF
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoud7cYHLsG
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEOFqywjDt
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8fNxODZYn
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S0JIqDc2f
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQM9iskfPn
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTmskGnseI
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMgJEnda8K
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZobPYkKPm
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGaRovpwdP
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxhy7a1pNm
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvjDQVlpCz
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhBn35gvsw
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFalePu7aOx
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcbANB11eQ
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:826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi5s2zxhIw
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A3AbxVnPT
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiBxrjZKwM
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIacd8NZfl2
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FB2Jd7JaA
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfcLjxu2nc
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIwEMYbIfE
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoW9TLpS0o
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TvQpPZUD6
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrPokuddiC
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1XaUFf0kZ
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsia6O1NUb
"What reward?" Christine asked.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIIUDuKn2D
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOkb19blFn
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTURzdkOJU
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJYWHrszc7
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC1pGw9tt4
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHpAZ5vUV5
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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIDZblUZmK
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuh84KhDMP
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71JxO64zND
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdJcFOH8hK
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dh0ucoM1K
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXIoDUpZbT
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQa3WEMXV7
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjnLZrjvdk
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmrD2OQJfX
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XMhbeG2tv
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuhknbeqpz
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzP2w9VZi1
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIglSw35MJJ
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjHrflumKj
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6eu8obTIu
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06ZXnxIvSt
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiOF8zoEnX
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HOIYluxaG
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvlV5ozYNr
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nrwmKCmR2
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgteWOPQBAd
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4nMQFT6Wk
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNFJCQeZQC
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87ZKoRd4u9
"We'll do our best," I said.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIRQxrO80U
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikJQwGcTRy
"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLLgmEqYWo
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ij0d6ZdAt
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv0if1qAlE
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyOQTgU4iK
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh4tavfo8r
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqHKUTlnKK
"We all did," said Daehyun.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYn4reZOk1
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xg6s2BSIn
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhm8X57iLS
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbsxaYuNdW
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsksa3nYPeG
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsrdxm83zJ
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJlnnhc8im
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo0JdPPS7m
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAHnffunOe
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduekwHBV0H
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5sXGJtg6U
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaRJXaMbVW
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8jXOQccwq
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV4NsfqqJa
"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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNdhOLmWFf
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTdgTIPyWa
Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqOvq9ir5W
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotfCvVDMNH
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsL8vPHY0t
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYMUHrl9Lz
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExKxrEY35e
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWFSEf6x0B
"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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBS0Ctd25J
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOIqecjkAO
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQPos8pZCR
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjM2410Pz7
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF0JydcCRM
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4Nn1clGQ4
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCP32apnYd
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEmtfJrbdd
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgzva2Zp9K
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaeh2SEnz5
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39v0gjCSz9
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8kZGm5Lu4
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy92Ka2uusG
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y3DMsSD46
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ4i1Tsezt
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNXzez7NuP
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnurzrhkYs
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MLLEHdOKO
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuabqM4qlqJ
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETl7IooL2C
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdN9ygkUHe
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9PcLpYhdC
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd4SA41Zge
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3ztBh2AgV
"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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0Z0bqlJlY
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEDSV5HE6p
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaglpc8oKS9
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUasJSI1Cdu
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5cJHLq8Hn
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DJA071UAc
Just as I thought. What a bummer.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuDBWUturj
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI5FF64Mi2
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UXsliYWIs
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XHHNe4tMn
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu58YnQxmf
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH7GrzIPZV
"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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRITCnWHMN0
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOwopHucOL
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgQAPKPS6a
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge9HBCcLCX
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWohxuaX7S
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsiDnlG7Ii
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFteyhPePe
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdK1GDJ0Ze
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhhFgZXl5g
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc2EfThuai
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFAWNpMErU
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk6GEBbupa
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgljODp7Ey9
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLLkNwsgZy
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?826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWZGAhnOKM
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8gLZLNQYd
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJb8H4qwqV
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAafegPxh4
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zv8JLDWkt
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbhUCkkIEl
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJyc3HiImN
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTEeVyDiCi
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL8zmNFmpY
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCX80eiq2i
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFmRoxAYkO
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKyUzFpbmv
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PQRk5TRxv
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbhwNLs2p0
"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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsIZtDG44Y
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs4byCkXDE
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuGKEhsuoZ
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQSpLwDYMh
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLovxd2ze8H
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj66biFWc3q
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiAO89we3M
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2DoYD1AXC
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH8HPSDfhd
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0hbgbdqFZ
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mcOi5yQui
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eJB9a9y6P
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRZZynRmkO
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFmWuz3617
"Sounds good," said Himchan.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABR2aDZZBn
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl7ZD8hRkQ
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSvMbT8BDJ
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLJ73PRsDM
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbjJfYl2ai
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gfCI9DmOw
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1evM9hXJOo
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W62dXo6z7
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u5EEiFUtj
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lqtd9cBJB
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.
