We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP9JhI2xF6
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtuhEI87eL
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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwORxK0Krv
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3fNqYcndq
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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTw5469Wu2
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp9UfnSPr5
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvJkfwceqP
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClzWPBkp03
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsoRvS01Wo
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gUPmZKyYd
"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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMgWn06UsI
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1ZNKchp5c
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNgU8edgMM
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2NwtIXABr
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g16RGOz86
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlW7AjYBiC
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh3Z8DY6T8
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpncfFntlui
"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."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWkvH8rINr
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCt4uhHG7q
"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?"719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQw2Js6HOH
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYOEZO7zaq
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?"719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzCOHeUhna
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJJ3Y2soPC
"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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vWQ3AswvM
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0TdTh8d2a
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCZO1SAHrT
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzte0t4QAB
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh8eAlchyV
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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUc4WBY0dk
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndcGePtl1v
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA9mhxhvLT
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMykEsDkEAh
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs1Ma1E1Cv
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46jNNcFpKG
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KadrQnKZL
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCze4jvkn5E
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D7TL0nIxu
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wLk7b4M19
"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."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqw7Wf6HKw
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvwWcHt7GP
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSYNHc4CmB
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tMblex7B9
"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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWXBhagwEm
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcUusdmhjK
"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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdkAiSHRMk
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbYFEp7yPh
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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKxqhIWzMc
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwcpkgqxqs
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ305rNdZShi
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJSzLUVtk7
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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bNYEzKDVj
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLbqipmoAU
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoySWe0kpUa
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9AKWx4TB1
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoSlDhIw7t
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez3AFm31Qy
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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJptuVif9GC
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4YdVfFdaV
He screamed.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsncYMaQ6Z
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkuwcCm5hu
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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd2gLqFqSc
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWRYZVEH9G
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq38eSpNlhK
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndEu1ftAbL
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU7K8CHnBK
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFaNwBjL3g
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJjgnRkzZU
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJVsvQ8ykV
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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h9ki4bSPM
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSigQCsuHMw
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSnlZMI8Cw
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqDyAIrArD
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOC5P1KqBP
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKkDPaAsnh
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYyVMHBYZ6
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUAcxFZZuz
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAlLGyzR7A
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S1JlkHr0U
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXWBH1vs7m
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CUxjN2Ce4
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FROwtTooR
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm9z2jKdKp
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE6PUiuDbc
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVhCAQHNtO
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7qag2R8BX
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyeajZXsj6
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FqECyVgcF
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp0Yu99Rdx
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHqDKSsh5y
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H0Tt6jszq
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNhwNDaSds
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0DaiCdDZn
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRf7gXVQWS
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZOhcUAxFi
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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwRyPluIuV
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzDP04oTuC
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyDCeJRqo5
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2Z8vtdelo
"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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C7tFeUKD3
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVjyoF8wah
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqojrwiIiOx
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnW2SgUiQz
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WU2HwwJ5t
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4HAfm18l4
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpoiVXsxIn
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiVcJWcdDF
"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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rEQsvtaz9
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjtptY7P1j
"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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghlggfQQyL
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkZNq9TFDy
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyXBdVR0qu
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4imzfYRrIP
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIt3TF4QEJ
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa6W6iPAL3
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvREONc0rq
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjE6C0gfir
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDQuqSYBoP
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrgDAgfbn3
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKB7d2XXme
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO1UElTC5F
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnSbFs357z
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a0QEhy2VZ
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrq7pH9YTi
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrdXJ9P4D0
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvxyy0rMue
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOuMbuwwFt
"I second to that," said Zoey.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96V3HKY2Tj
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd9zoahgc7
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRduVC1cn62
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ970sOBeGBf
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hc75XXxSF
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53Ohii6Ck0
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCvLuLuBPV
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDsY7XFneV
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPBwwj55Aq
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEl0Pc6Sqk
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPqgFKC7I7
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Oq0xAZrF
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5eAS9Hd6W
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFyXn17cSo
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8uRNhxMpc
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NvWaKtVuV
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP1NOCgorl
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZW0unPVu2
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk186mPw9E
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXP4bc4cpN
"Yep," Young-jae answered.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxRGqsZA7r
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKM7KhneGk
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaxCeffN29
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvA6OOUD8e
"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."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF10ioONnD
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQhwKpPVN2
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FVTwnKuVx
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHZBXCmsK5
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicZRqqekHx
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrkWh9wDv7
"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."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorNr9cFcvf
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiNGdCRnRr
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KkX0t9Jwg
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqTJ6lyKL7
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIDeuTd0Eb
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWemH72qPUc
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvEKUzqeL1
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqLrxaBuzF
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR6Wfa2uZ8
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZl4rlRKJl
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv56QSzsjPM
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCGfBaDQKy
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2zwj23Ce3
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBqoMYGaa0
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZQKNmEZj4
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5EmkdxPk1
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CHbajnrQP
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp3USpRuxe
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhwdRoOB6F
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZDKUG4gI8
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm53uCw2Zx
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXvRLh3pD0
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs4ZaUsJns
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf3pH1zEMg
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ynsaikxpx
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pgQihMVxr
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdfXuLDd7U
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCccnb7Y4GR
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzSE9ji9wu
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL8iYsZwKC
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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc5JetmODU
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzCwbqacbK
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdinTPS9jY
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ969F7UUPg5
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4qAuKqKhg
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S74vTDKmY
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsHIKbVJSI
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWXfSgsWXm
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:719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrq7PZZqWy
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4WmebHvvy
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGmgzOx7he
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlaQefXo4s
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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNmuxqGDaD
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGkP4pnZMu
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbROJ1jiIX
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzliFIYFug
"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."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQswKac580
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡectfXIuNzk
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4liu3KC3N
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphP3QXzbWf
"What reward?" Christine asked.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUoVoC2QOS
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84hzpNKxkz
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhYskl4tBp
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfCrTFoTbi
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vf3wlyQZc
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFueqtc8C0P
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."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aDGwKt4xq
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR1AYPkKe7
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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE2aqAtdLG
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u1SpD9Uf9
"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."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYbavb6nTx
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnnl25K6TI
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoS3bHKrX1
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9PxgZiGBU
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jkDLJeMJP
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqF9DoKzss
"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."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVblRtHEAzi
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAO7FkMKop
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuEYoNoEDP
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsEjdr3YsU
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5ZlY5IsBT
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt5qcY6VJq
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3kG2nrRhI
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh3sB74TC4
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW3arE57PO
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqjlhtc6J4
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6ukvuqfzx
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZqBb5xp0b
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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY2lfKYzy3
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC3R92TpeH
"We'll do our best," I said.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo2kyakd3p
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR2eHcnQye
"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWCOID5U7S
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JnJhbqWMB
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uIna8ocrc
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29EY7O406O
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEkUrdHVHx
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYnE8cvzvN
"We all did," said Daehyun.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVS4rdz2qW
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp9IN88EIl
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9MzTqbmHx
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL5ZYZz8Kc
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZD1XfAJ8i
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzsZmMFVB4
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hUDiYUA1X
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi5ZhWfM08
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh6wE6KlOy
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x2F3RcJr6
"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."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVH7SvglIs
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcJn92HBNp
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX6XECEuSX
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXpL2plZQF
"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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiM6lCF8Bl
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSZxqC2van
Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPogBVZVX9
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGXzOmWO0A
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lNnqZ4goX
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDyjl6uKee
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChve03RqFF
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmpGRe5zwG
"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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2X3RMmKrN
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9NFTsRW20
"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."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL8c3NTAo3
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAVA9YASkh
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniWm5RHIBj
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXIoAWfMNC
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncVtAhtGDk
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yGDgVqoVQ
"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."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqW2mbLQLW
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXIZVOsmzy
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJqyOqba8Z
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxCMOCL20g
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uoaHuwAP0
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysmsdTtRWv
"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."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbBXeQzZRs
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFMEwqd1eN
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJtZvpYvKB
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVMqBzxaTh
"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."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnGvOmO27E
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKNpxMfO1s
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JJ1e4HdD2
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrgO1mdApV
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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VOtuQlfQA
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR3GfFocz5
"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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxmkOHsTpG
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRjxoLeSSe
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzd8parnSB
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLLC6tcalF
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QKcQ1brMr
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL2JDAbMFo
Just as I thought. What a bummer.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs8w4hcH6L
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX2zoPiwp5
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC66hk4WOk
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyB8qJC360
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4OjFvdEqg
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEDxFurSDC
"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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnSJYSxVIH
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPETdyqxhP
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXCkwUpt45
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A71ViXDNp
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lWkdXAxit
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2yeqGrUdT
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeDCyxMs5k
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbsSTUA2GO
"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."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaTfdGKfJl
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi8kgW8J5g
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVc2m1t2Zj
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DiPdZbZMA
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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qZQ53RKYo
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsonwOHptOm
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?719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnLXIT0d3h
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ro8hCoGMM
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUcVNItemx
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq0yXoAeCK
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi1NfbzbWQ
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YzIbDFZ87
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWb8o1yMsv
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJkYd9YAgz
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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdu6uA3QW1
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtZzZKhwap
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2lw53x6sD
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpkuoeJzwn
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ863KrBTGm
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYovzfHXWc
"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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPYFHfngOV
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWVzYHb9e9
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzrOz5vdtp
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3rJyH9Z5K
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLiP2QSzY4
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIEDdLQZ63
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA3ER7B7Bf
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhuxKCTXpr
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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqs9X0tM7e
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgmZVPynEX
"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."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI05NOCbGt
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDch44Mgu3
"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."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNqlOvrqMu
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQazocg6nRG
"Sounds good," said Himchan.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn05skVPTj
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIOaVwO8pm
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8uuqaWSoT
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnH1AIjCTR
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbPMxd4xbZ
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO969Q3uh82
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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1aFK25Krq
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TUrJvrZBD
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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpUmc1ePz0
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc1E2Scfqe
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.
