We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.795Please respect copyright.PENANAUbuJxLsxeP
795Please respect copyright.PENANA0erMht8qCI
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.795Please respect copyright.PENANAOwv19JoSNh
795Please respect copyright.PENANAlYcOmkLkiy
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.795Please respect copyright.PENANACXx4gF5K8I
795Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZPalKRaM2
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."795Please respect copyright.PENANAMOojOvtvm7
795Please respect copyright.PENANAH9fOQTFkGH
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.795Please respect copyright.PENANAfdoNe1zFeP
795Please respect copyright.PENANACeE8NoHMZI
"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.795Please respect copyright.PENANAggwXIyXWCv
795Please respect copyright.PENANAA7UF3HOCf3
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.795Please respect copyright.PENANA9WRDxkiVbW
795Please respect copyright.PENANAAq7tlFq0P6
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.795Please respect copyright.PENANAZBnAmvlLa4
795Please respect copyright.PENANALOwaQ1Hjtz
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"795Please respect copyright.PENANA7Wqahc20AO
795Please respect copyright.PENANAP4n5J1FvXt
"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."795Please respect copyright.PENANAys6s78I2Zt
795Please respect copyright.PENANAUFaHxuEqBb
"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?"795Please respect copyright.PENANAJuCvZRLw1x
795Please respect copyright.PENANAvfbCwlK309
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?"795Please respect copyright.PENANAfOV7bA4rqz
795Please respect copyright.PENANA5UWt284TYW
"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.795Please respect copyright.PENANAqCry10Hbww
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."795Please respect copyright.PENANA1FwrUtTipf
795Please respect copyright.PENANAjpqfEYmASo
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."795Please respect copyright.PENANALUttDqItet
795Please respect copyright.PENANAxd3jiPgcPw
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.795Please respect copyright.PENANANDARUvEldx
795Please respect copyright.PENANAvFVmjhQFCa
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."795Please respect copyright.PENANAmAPOKYbMzz
795Please respect copyright.PENANAKZMsPqsPuD
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.795Please respect copyright.PENANAEbUSFEDUp9
795Please respect copyright.PENANACJwxzs7DLt
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."795Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9wuiK9FjP
795Please respect copyright.PENANA1BsX0xVxxf
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.795Please respect copyright.PENANApdGBLeO9lh
795Please respect copyright.PENANAwodoFGu5mp
"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."795Please respect copyright.PENANA4SxtIYyOHF
795Please respect copyright.PENANAYsMzO5qQxA
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.795Please respect copyright.PENANAnLD3AU5XyO
795Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1zT7mSYab
"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.795Please respect copyright.PENANAtevnayEWMe
795Please respect copyright.PENANArRPbWCGniP
"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.795Please respect copyright.PENANAsfDZqs2lV6
795Please respect copyright.PENANAUq4h3lZnB9
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.795Please respect copyright.PENANAix7zu7sazm
795Please respect copyright.PENANAgmXoPN1pSs
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.795Please respect copyright.PENANAISMAvrFdN0
795Please respect copyright.PENANAhAZ0Mnh4MI
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.795Please respect copyright.PENANAWI8iuMJPQ3
795Please respect copyright.PENANAG7PnK4plJm
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.795Please respect copyright.PENANAgraSe45Mj7
795Please respect copyright.PENANAam6Dvk9LPe
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.795Please respect copyright.PENANAu0k0Ca4XkC
795Please respect copyright.PENANAaJZKT653sr
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.795Please respect copyright.PENANApVMp9IzWmw
795Please respect copyright.PENANAlPMc8LBgu2
He screamed.795Please respect copyright.PENANAUrDi1wOGPt
795Please respect copyright.PENANA7U0H08kYMz
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.795Please respect copyright.PENANAsAcXoT2r6G
795Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ea1B3H8ty
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.795Please respect copyright.PENANAqcbKkRvK2T
795Please respect copyright.PENANARhJQ3nNsAa
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"795Please respect copyright.PENANArJ73hCwx1C
795Please respect copyright.PENANAQLj1dV5abW
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.795Please respect copyright.PENANApok9Ox9WKw
795Please respect copyright.PENANAC3qPK5Kum7
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.795Please respect copyright.PENANAqFWhyeR1qk
795Please respect copyright.PENANA4WrdnfiBji
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."795Please respect copyright.PENANAsFx45WpHTK
795Please respect copyright.PENANAtRVFghuP4k
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.795Please respect copyright.PENANAT1c989PITh
795Please respect copyright.PENANAN9c1dv3lVP
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.795Please respect copyright.PENANAkHnom0535n
795Please respect copyright.PENANAYkfjakaFCH
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.795Please respect copyright.PENANAuk10m1MgrV
795Please respect copyright.PENANAXWVJ9z9sCw
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."795Please respect copyright.PENANAEobAUbg1dk
795Please respect copyright.PENANA9kqpfyQPUA
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.795Please respect copyright.PENANACwH5hocqn3
795Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ3TWkEdDA
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."795Please respect copyright.PENANAYlFoIFgJTa
795Please respect copyright.PENANAUafLF2hZbD
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."795Please respect copyright.PENANAeh5BkRJTWR
795Please respect copyright.PENANA59S9XxQH2z
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.795Please respect copyright.PENANAEPnQsUtaVp
795Please respect copyright.PENANA3jou6MtRo4
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.795Please respect copyright.PENANA92yAra1Ecc
795Please respect copyright.PENANA83HoWEhiHF
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.795Please respect copyright.PENANALeOgPRhBlV
795Please respect copyright.PENANAHCMmLr0FtF
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.795Please respect copyright.PENANACm51fgIbIG
795Please respect copyright.PENANAmRbEu4Hw9r
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.795Please respect copyright.PENANA6oZsSIApNu
795Please respect copyright.PENANA8BmTFNJHqy
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.795Please respect copyright.PENANAHcrEKb9Wzg
795Please respect copyright.PENANAEd9C36EGEM
"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.795Please respect copyright.PENANAb4oZKUwefp
795Please respect copyright.PENANAKKvUYeJkUt
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.795Please respect copyright.PENANAsytPMgWKc6
795Please respect copyright.PENANABQwgkhzrPi
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."795Please respect copyright.PENANAQTM6t7Eba7
795Please respect copyright.PENANAWOdozBJhcJ
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."795Please respect copyright.PENANAXxFfr1oWsh
795Please respect copyright.PENANAWQaxElEt0R
"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.795Please respect copyright.PENANADOJ8i55O27
795Please respect copyright.PENANAetrPZnq0fP
"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.795Please respect copyright.PENANARyDsiM46gD
795Please respect copyright.PENANAwCqPKseDv1
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.795Please respect copyright.PENANAVJWRx0jWES
795Please respect copyright.PENANA8hrGsiafqj
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."795Please respect copyright.PENANACvE428M7YY
795Please respect copyright.PENANANTYaFpTVg0
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."795Please respect copyright.PENANAeOOux1x8Z8
795Please respect copyright.PENANA0gnQMdvtuj
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.795Please respect copyright.PENANAObODir535F
795Please respect copyright.PENANArQpnXxv3tk
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.795Please respect copyright.PENANA4AalQ8D5F1
795Please respect copyright.PENANAj3KW25X8UK
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.795Please respect copyright.PENANAY8XgLQqZpq
795Please respect copyright.PENANANceiac18kC
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."795Please respect copyright.PENANAZ579VSO6Un
795Please respect copyright.PENANACipZ8HhMsZ
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.795Please respect copyright.PENANAzkfenlUOHb
795Please respect copyright.PENANAqWZO1XinRr
"I second to that," said Zoey.795Please respect copyright.PENANABNtCrUsfkz
795Please respect copyright.PENANAtrsTjjLund
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.795Please respect copyright.PENANA7J5z2CkwsH
795Please respect copyright.PENANAKcq4u70gtf
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"795Please respect copyright.PENANA2Cce0EBbCF
795Please respect copyright.PENANAshuepHJ1ij
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.795Please respect copyright.PENANA1aLFG8i0jx
795Please respect copyright.PENANAHE4tjqTD65
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.795Please respect copyright.PENANA2lkQPblRZk
795Please respect copyright.PENANArjuQcm0enK
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."795Please respect copyright.PENANAK8F6db84uN
795Please respect copyright.PENANAmlyeHi1tPS
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.795Please respect copyright.PENANAl5kGmh1Xan
795Please respect copyright.PENANAw3O8Ofj0sO
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.795Please respect copyright.PENANAkYLMpYzIUv
795Please respect copyright.PENANA1wpaQVpgri
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.795Please respect copyright.PENANARRiJ3ldTex
795Please respect copyright.PENANAw1dP7HFFq5
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.795Please respect copyright.PENANAKKSRWxEpEU
795Please respect copyright.PENANAvmLkTqNcAd
"Yep," Young-jae answered.795Please respect copyright.PENANAX8l6tfBB9O
795Please respect copyright.PENANANubPpzMlGG
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.795Please respect copyright.PENANA5DuQGtubDc
795Please respect copyright.PENANA5m4bxoMkn9
"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."795Please respect copyright.PENANARQaerOOyA8
795Please respect copyright.PENANAzokubjPXuC
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.795Please respect copyright.PENANAAvZBCzTfzI
795Please respect copyright.PENANAhpxVDxEk2W
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.795Please respect copyright.PENANADpnGTaPsGJ
795Please respect copyright.PENANAQiuYcqXVCD
"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."795Please respect copyright.PENANA9mvJSgW4Gl
795Please respect copyright.PENANA61ll72LI8E
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.795Please respect copyright.PENANASZNLRHVHxb
795Please respect copyright.PENANA9Psl08TUuK
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.795Please respect copyright.PENANAotzjhPmtXQ
795Please respect copyright.PENANA0jfJ5imLOR
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.795Please respect copyright.PENANAdjFNBUN6i9
795Please respect copyright.PENANAhLMMURVOyN
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.795Please respect copyright.PENANAKrXxeZM8c4
795Please respect copyright.PENANAlNL9vpZApX
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"795Please respect copyright.PENANAd4v8W7zsyQ
795Please respect copyright.PENANAi95Gb3v7MA
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.795Please respect copyright.PENANAKapCxAY1aK
795Please respect copyright.PENANAE4QwEhsuIj
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.795Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZBFs4NviH
795Please respect copyright.PENANALoSYhtGL8b
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."795Please respect copyright.PENANAdR4Dn71Q4w
795Please respect copyright.PENANADqMyPpzLQj
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"795Please respect copyright.PENANAvr4yLhKScl
795Please respect copyright.PENANAljwF2CWp6d
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."795Please respect copyright.PENANAQdrKyTHbVN
795Please respect copyright.PENANApqzldZXRKJ
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."795Please respect copyright.PENANAOx1a04pdp5
795Please respect copyright.PENANA7AZvxw5doh
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."795Please respect copyright.PENANA0jHGmPIl1f
795Please respect copyright.PENANAMuluajKODQ
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.795Please respect copyright.PENANA58tqgxxoDk
795Please respect copyright.PENANAFmfYfjK6Q5
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.795Please respect copyright.PENANAVwsNqqurTv
795Please respect copyright.PENANA0zPlXoBygS
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.795Please respect copyright.PENANAyewveX5rP2
795Please respect copyright.PENANASuAIqjFCn3
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."795Please respect copyright.PENANAg1NdC7eZDc
795Please respect copyright.PENANAEFHLBwu4rV
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.795Please respect copyright.PENANABLa0xUZuik
795Please respect copyright.PENANAYHGPM1lGKi
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."795Please respect copyright.PENANAPRRiuw1pKC
795Please respect copyright.PENANAo8me9VT6KL
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:795Please respect copyright.PENANAxZ6iRQqdmL
795Please respect copyright.PENANAxtJIFPtg0u
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."795Please respect copyright.PENANAXLBt6qYsYr
795Please respect copyright.PENANAc0bAw8uEvo
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.795Please respect copyright.PENANA5dmz2FFujG
795Please respect copyright.PENANA7gxgqac5Z6
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.795Please respect copyright.PENANA1D50P38d7T
795Please respect copyright.PENANAThT0KTKqPf
"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."795Please respect copyright.PENANAQdLVfEg9vd
795Please respect copyright.PENANAxzOaytwTeS
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.795Please respect copyright.PENANAlgUUAtvk4z
795Please respect copyright.PENANAlTuLlPrECW
"What reward?" Christine asked.795Please respect copyright.PENANA7WWVhG0kZl
795Please respect copyright.PENANALpE4H4UjDN
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.795Please respect copyright.PENANA3EVAJJjdWw
795Please respect copyright.PENANAShVIutqCzY
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.795Please respect copyright.PENANAkbnAVzSX1g
795Please respect copyright.PENANAM2L0kpd9TF
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."795Please respect copyright.PENANAc4lpBQfzrq
795Please respect copyright.PENANAeqZLJPUmzE
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.795Please respect copyright.PENANA8UhmrWMmOl
795Please respect copyright.PENANAD1MF7NHb2z
"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."795Please respect copyright.PENANAthOuGYg9nW
795Please respect copyright.PENANABceS5lI8Q6
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.795Please respect copyright.PENANAysYcWILoDH
795Please respect copyright.PENANAMsmcoQdwJ2
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."795Please respect copyright.PENANA9qzbBmPb2B
795Please respect copyright.PENANAHy4CQtcuUD
"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."795Please respect copyright.PENANA4f9m2X6PFz
795Please respect copyright.PENANArHtljblTHv
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.795Please respect copyright.PENANAvaOjFobVeZ
795Please respect copyright.PENANAEW3Bri3FzH
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."795Please respect copyright.PENANAmxHKf7p56i
795Please respect copyright.PENANAoOprCqg0An
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.795Please respect copyright.PENANAnr9Y9M1RaB
795Please respect copyright.PENANAz0Ligi7Ns3
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.795Please respect copyright.PENANAYZz1J3A39t
795Please respect copyright.PENANA0SO5ugXVn9
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.795Please respect copyright.PENANAol07Ck4519
795Please respect copyright.PENANAFD2qMLoHfH
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.795Please respect copyright.PENANAO0YYwSFiu2
795Please respect copyright.PENANAA7G9xKpqN1
"We'll do our best," I said.795Please respect copyright.PENANAF9HNjTMCoG
795Please respect copyright.PENANAOBdPTXHIe8
"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.795Please respect copyright.PENANAUFcOJRD8PQ
795Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7slf39Bgz
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.795Please respect copyright.PENANAUgrFlZZ3Pn
795Please respect copyright.PENANAskrnhHrCCu
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.795Please respect copyright.PENANA5SR2oCy0JE
795Please respect copyright.PENANA8LhZ31abmy
"We all did," said Daehyun.795Please respect copyright.PENANAcms6XH8W6J
795Please respect copyright.PENANAYee8i1xLYU
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.795Please respect copyright.PENANAG8pVVXZMhz
795Please respect copyright.PENANARokK9ufYda
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.795Please respect copyright.PENANAXWmj7JYyT7
795Please respect copyright.PENANAmLwTtoHJq6
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.795Please respect copyright.PENANA6eZewqHnFx
795Please respect copyright.PENANAmGNDwAjlHA
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.795Please respect copyright.PENANAAsqFXvv0vp

"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."795Please respect copyright.PENANAJQcTph2NII
795Please respect copyright.PENANAjq1nAo4qSy
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."795Please respect copyright.PENANAtmYRayJ5fV
795Please respect copyright.PENANApVb1pi2VqS
"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.795Please respect copyright.PENANA1fFCShdBMz

Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:795Please respect copyright.PENANAqN1UWDsx8q
795Please respect copyright.PENANA9kQP4cbFXH
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.795Please respect copyright.PENANAr5vuJyNb9u
795Please respect copyright.PENANAbr3LsAhZ2A
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.795Please respect copyright.PENANAJgJj9FxdHp
795Please respect copyright.PENANA5yWsqXJV5I
"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.795Please respect copyright.PENANAL4aYq8fhSY
795Please respect copyright.PENANANTErEx92yw
"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."795Please respect copyright.PENANAZXa8PK7PBK
795Please respect copyright.PENANA0LxozUYHox
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"795Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3iUVrL0V8
795Please respect copyright.PENANA7DRhHeyMFY
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.795Please respect copyright.PENANAovaIaEXQgx
795Please respect copyright.PENANAoh4yRx2NnP
"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."795Please respect copyright.PENANA0p5lxK49JD
795Please respect copyright.PENANALK30s968P0
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.795Please respect copyright.PENANADEES2pi8Me
795Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y8hcMZvb5
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.795Please respect copyright.PENANAuFsAR68Gsr
795Please respect copyright.PENANAsPA0Avsc2Q
"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."795Please respect copyright.PENANA9PCSOi5pcs
795Please respect copyright.PENANAzrRQZIrCwQ
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."795Please respect copyright.PENANAAdcRNrHac5
795Please respect copyright.PENANAzG8ckIq6uW
"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."795Please respect copyright.PENANAQHDJVTogCB
795Please respect copyright.PENANAp2Dd9ER36B
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.795Please respect copyright.PENANAgpMa16Ypcw
795Please respect copyright.PENANAfIVyGij6rk
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.795Please respect copyright.PENANAPqkQHCLOhG
795Please respect copyright.PENANAWgF8XDWgaP
"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.795Please respect copyright.PENANA5TGTVvRTZW
795Please respect copyright.PENANA7YsCAvopDa
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.795Please respect copyright.PENANAgYYinzTCQN
795Please respect copyright.PENANAPeMcDwOFoD
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.795Please respect copyright.PENANAJqcIQ9NMs0
795Please respect copyright.PENANA8xuwxC148J
Just as I thought. What a bummer.795Please respect copyright.PENANAPo5bN2K4UT
795Please respect copyright.PENANAOUIxWRA3lP
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.795Please respect copyright.PENANAkw6K5oJkwa
795Please respect copyright.PENANALrWeQ94abO
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.795Please respect copyright.PENANACd0ydIyUG0
795Please respect copyright.PENANA9gmWFm0A6y
"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.795Please respect copyright.PENANAUprqYhtzRw
795Please respect copyright.PENANABGMliYjTbE
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.795Please respect copyright.PENANAWh0uHaEY31
795Please respect copyright.PENANA7Hc9yGksZx
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.795Please respect copyright.PENANA7vpA4VZcxo
795Please respect copyright.PENANAA0ad7Ojk95
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.795Please respect copyright.PENANAIiUa0C4157
795Please respect copyright.PENANA5kzoHOFNAL
"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."795Please respect copyright.PENANA5Zo8nRcJki
795Please respect copyright.PENANAB3iDjBCgr2
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.795Please respect copyright.PENANABCID3hT76Z
795Please respect copyright.PENANALfxXsV6YM5
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.795Please respect copyright.PENANAvN6nEwVHDg
795Please respect copyright.PENANAzlQ83K4UBt
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?795Please respect copyright.PENANAKAYIJk3MkJ
795Please respect copyright.PENANAV6v0gCw0hS
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.795Please respect copyright.PENANAa6pcmyjyXC
795Please respect copyright.PENANAehyAhZzPWM
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.795Please respect copyright.PENANASpLTotJGTj
795Please respect copyright.PENANA9xWxEcIFIE
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.795Please respect copyright.PENANAulbvaWrRYq
795Please respect copyright.PENANA4XyXw0D3Ca
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.795Please respect copyright.PENANApyxDmOVxNx
795Please respect copyright.PENANA73wtVFsQeW
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."795Please respect copyright.PENANAnMWmzLNY36
795Please respect copyright.PENANAvYwXjefsqm
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.795Please respect copyright.PENANAdVNFnwgU9b
795Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q3KHEYe4R
"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.795Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZTwCvbjZr
795Please respect copyright.PENANAgoyUwZiUxG
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.795Please respect copyright.PENANAofpq0ej01F
795Please respect copyright.PENANA5OJHxe8O8h
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."795Please respect copyright.PENANABy8o42LL0j
795Please respect copyright.PENANAF2HLQq0YJc
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.795Please respect copyright.PENANAY1e8N8g8Uv
795Please respect copyright.PENANAmsQ3Adb9DR
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.795Please respect copyright.PENANAvaEfHhqkLu
795Please respect copyright.PENANAJbVuF97hn5
"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."795Please respect copyright.PENANAVPttXJK0bl
795Please respect copyright.PENANAW8EHUA3I7E
"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."795Please respect copyright.PENANAWsJCkB4t0j
795Please respect copyright.PENANAgcnVdPeZrs
"Sounds good," said Himchan.795Please respect copyright.PENANA6DIc3ZGy43
795Please respect copyright.PENANArisP8XJj3S
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."795Please respect copyright.PENANADUiUvLNc3s
795Please respect copyright.PENANAtPBOio2w5i
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.795Please respect copyright.PENANA6u5wAX5DaB
795Please respect copyright.PENANArLiRAYNx3D
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.795Please respect copyright.PENANADG62GKSfLl
795Please respect copyright.PENANARn7fAWL4Kc
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.795Please respect copyright.PENANARpJ1ZlNEI7
795Please respect copyright.PENANAWaSHsuxsmE
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.
