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
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0co5xnr60
"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
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmTNbRjUOf
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.
