We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKa48TU6rw
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3qAPCWvB3
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG01tovxjT
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4RNOXCeRJ
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOyLe7UoTy
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcOK4CxEJ9
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OlteZ0yVC
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICgLPgMXU7
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2qTlG3XfR
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG4xUWp2MS
"Come on," said Yong-nam, "the others must probably be wondering why I've taken so long."8964 copyright protection81ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS18ghge5c 維尼
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuSnR5dTcc
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkJM1WCQI8
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGJx3SnHWN
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFqttGOssP
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpfnBaE4WO
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSzhG7X6y3
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIyzTh7tFv
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKEyOEYJ5S
"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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf7WcqRJ8s
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4Y4pfjIjx
"We're seven, Zoey," I said. "Don't worry, the elevator will hold us just fine."8964 copyright protection81ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY8C7rsHiq 維尼
"Okay, just checking," said Zoey with a smile. "You remember what happened last time, right?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMJX2n9HsE
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj7ACV95Do
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.8964 copyright protection81ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMrn0gXPnp 維尼
"Okay, since there's nothing to worry about," said Yong-nam, "should we get going?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4WS8iRCse
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGmRzNu0H1
"Yes, please," said Daniel.8964 copyright protection81ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvI8W2vODi 維尼
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZCFHkFKWQ
8964 copyright protection81ＰＥＮＡＮＡA13Y1s0SUq 維尼
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbPIL3FfKI
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFLdroFZar
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWjQXhfRbi
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfruoVUVCL
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmbYk4RwQX
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvq8Igtd52
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EzIGjvsmw
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaOsqLEwYf
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUE89eapG8
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aQ8YVjY0R
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaEvx7SwWW
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwCjWiZP02
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8adwwffEo
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt4UgOkyhZ
"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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc47bqW0IK
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nNYkWUwte
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3LNSa7hZB
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ8pWQYCnB
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCO0mUWWKZ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYIX8gh8Yp
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDLHjTQzly
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueJ2lvz51w
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zVWuC8VJm
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh03qGLcnQ
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKYjUZN1NN
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBtaliLmSX
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xNhYw93K5
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPOO57RM2W
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qRhM7Vt9i
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEDM6o7wnG
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLvURZo29J
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRONfNi0MLF
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCDQvcpKFS
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1OyOqsqfo
He screamed.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SkD2ERhyw
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOdq5eWOBd
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuY5zuey2L
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleoAakdGrw
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F7lXe7OCg
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxlKj4c75G
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN0OclJbJs
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtPodKBoEB
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCkqHohGlM
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57igIDGM6o
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4o627z6TP
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JNsoojyx2
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yfgDpvVWK
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaXALXeiGA
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm877H8Rvem
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz8HT6l649
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDdojAF3GQ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MxxGPZEFA
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkBtvkR7oq
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepW1YjiQEj
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeHQ2qhyiM
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaGO348W97
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh4MzmwsYI
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm81NiPAi1T
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIVVK5Majg
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCymQpSVXu
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5srRZXenNk
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt6sBaTqzl
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsvo880H6F
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Yfhu6jheS
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU7LdKhxb3
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCaPYx6ow9
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuWV0ZvZ0x
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZHUGHbuQQ
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDpWLYxScw
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLaXwJ1WxH
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlFgJ8NOYh
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn68dCenyW
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjrhiZdqNq
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2oMWYg7pf
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUuGggABGD
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO3fOShBOt
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAWvGtxAlb
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZYCoCSwTJ
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRMbiUmhwe
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiRTRlPVHv
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS2s1p5HSF
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Rr4ZsOAZF
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8DwM6igBe
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkInn4bTXMn
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2VhRnhZUC
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B8Nsg76Nw
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgBaDAxsVW
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo037O9HBy7
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YdqKRqLd2
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm94brZVQco
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5WW9neY5z
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ko1uooSkS
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VjpWdFtY7
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cP0YjT7LI
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMqUsxk7Ck
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9kSutCugJ
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AHzbMXVXq
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgie2LEkrr
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypTftcXE8V
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngHq5KJPnO
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6gWc6yMGq
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDeIPaMSOi
"I second to that," said Zoey.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbOJhuW0pD
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPMOmXN2Pj
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYuZ4qDwli
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7m9hNPMzs
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUScZrUEON
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwx2K0KdHi
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5jCsCyTlI
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBHDMNOou9
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJcE8zRNo3
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQvAj7zWaM
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJys6iIRe2E
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RP06HHVfn
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtw89riw15
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oCWhsZIE0
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKLDVvP8fy
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ8NktJmml
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaUZWBW0Be
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOf2inwTeO
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNuCEYUxMv
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHrH8wAzr0
"Yep," Young-jae answered.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIqVmKi6xC
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMPxhMdgrg
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDlWCq9OGh
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLQkbmUGUF
"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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt1PbZVbQ2
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfubhdKvl7
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18eCT3YsWv
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGh1JpA47e
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0uij6xW9n
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvife2nT8RC
"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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbuFHxwUlQ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWTnjTxgfL
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8YmcuSV7m
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzhjKACMzm
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA2oe1qBFq
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5tncFMwCL
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY86dXcGlP
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShASPrsupO
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHr1AhNPCE
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ek7NzLYA9
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3ewtII3sK
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdV0KzFxCf
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsc6ipKGaK
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2QpkGgw5M
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxVT6S1rVV
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1i0e6mq4D
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDviKpVjO5l
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5HUaDjyhD
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJjkJDmFWR
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzYCYxaIsS
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB24MdYGoTO
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D9uDowC1W
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8n3ivKfyX
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjUIb9xaOb
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKni1WnQy10
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg8k3NawjK
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFlwpI1chZ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLoyjVmyZ8
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGaEHUd0aX
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcusZPwc1Br
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vT04G6UmC
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtwee3e4Pj
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhH9a2Q0MN
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q8I6Jiglb
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiEwac1ilq
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7Lt7f7PuZ
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYImq8xE6Mb
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTPPuPAiDa
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:85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnUbLIaCGU
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRv2pPhOBe
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElviPQPut3
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXFqGEdisj
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJauGqjGk7m
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfVppxnRmP
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwWuGSgKbw
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgfdlrPeMS
"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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTU1l0RrPl
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gVcA2ooBu
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV8Jk0Rvas
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcihMgEEjEa
"What reward?" Christine asked.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAeDncWgIW
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mo4iAwKsM
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu8v99dikF
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTUTD7mBCl
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbbkdMN7xv
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJiLYg8yEp
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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodwJTvo7us
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO9JtzGUJP
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImjubyRJOJ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyhYiGMU9K
"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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNAvrKGGTU
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3VC2eWYn7
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2uCTY8ADN
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXg03AMT82
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte2ldfOV0y
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmBbtDRqv1
"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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVskoNREAb
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9VvYGrKT8
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IieXD3Wo8
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH40lYwqsx
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv5qINxk9j
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR95iv0UuY2
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j4QmhCu9l
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs96ZSqPW0
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01Hh4zjCEG
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiJhOyWvJh
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQgBgk08xX
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRttTEjjgau
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdDvfrgput
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWfdP4h9y4
"We'll do our best," I said.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysqNh8rQqh
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxvKlJPER7
"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscSiXPfAC4
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEEWFNgmc4
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnYbgd7DDi
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3R3AyjoIc
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhR6wvzz5l

"We all did," said Daehyun.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIuEZ4hrvQ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51nr0UXlIO
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6NjTirFmu
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9tBR6Swdj
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH07V53CeuL
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgkqP4Oyyd
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxaASgeJGc
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXgmd10G4w
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9i1oAye1M
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLIE22Kp0n
"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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp8521IgqM
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUmwStAyGj
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP9B1llTSj
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOEjOqymVW
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZskOt7Z2n
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkyxUTQprU
Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaqx8DiiWy
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxxJeJqRjS
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOsneG2zNt
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcCf6QF4LW
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm59IYiUn4y
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5enDaMj09N
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MLsb2Tuj5
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULib0ZMFoR
"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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVIAo7RCip
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZt4Ctw47c
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IpVsvMhkR
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz2BhdaZG2
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrplzYO4Lvk
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscxBpNqElj
"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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLb1nEY8Og
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnKJ01qFKw
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDTDh2t0Cj
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpJ4sBcswT
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvcHIFDBEz
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LultclPsH
"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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTeV5y3PPJ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn6hL4Gipv
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpzFqkBm4d
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36w2WsLqV1
"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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ibqORSa4p
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgdYN6gR64
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtSE7N8uLb
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQiErxiSwA
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn83nUX7Ri
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4DioeklJS
"Good, Sam is back," said Zoey.8964 copyright protection81ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqouayYvRk 維尼
Time stopped for a second. Just when Zoey said that, I knew something's up and I had to prepare for whatever it is.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtVVSEduDp
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST6AELOkKG
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN1mF2AGvb
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTwCcipzDe
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMkiLT7htS
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKunEtU8s1
Just as I thought. What a bummer.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1XmvGR0zB
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFByHimdyFI
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRw1kN5wqT
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlsHNUjxvP
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROpS6wv4XI
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7Bt0j6rox
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38UGsr3Ne6
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20SBVzpQvH
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQR4UjQbtE
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2GWcnnGd6
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxca28nqcZ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmziSjkqRRb
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfXt1qz7EG
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxP1xiyOBI
"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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT9b4dozja
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3PMeAsu3h
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZhhKD4Mct
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fwu4v92CM
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLABkDPFSR
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmfglsvUsM
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?85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6BtyFgWKv
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf29zUAlpS
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"8964 copyright protection81ＰＥＮＡＮＡVajAt6X1xM 維尼
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecOm1MVZyC
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNsW0AI0AO
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7omTC7faj
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7OM8e3iXZ
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrq3bDclVA
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNlilEvZlu
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvaEgKgkNA
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSEms1JGz0
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR2U5s602r
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tgR3ZCw85
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBpxuB1aoj
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRLtIRQihb
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPY1T7KNQt
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7xpGc6Fse
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUcxnX8sxC
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvkADLQLNL
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYWrBBFDdN
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsbfuKixsg
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmglKSaLdiO
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZS50FRcqC
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL9Jcj5wgw
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWcJmDiwnu
"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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8J6oInyyx
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyE7WK3JSX
"I agree," I said and Yong-nam beside me looked at the time on his watch.8964 copyright protection81ＰＥＮＡＮＡciVShQTRiY 維尼
"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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrqEqMGj6W
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2hRytUXJT
"Sounds good," said Himchan.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ439zqN4hm8
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoG5Muu4Se
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWWE30GRs2
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xIGe7VUdp
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDyhXOzahL
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEvUIZiQyB
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl4gpa8YCg
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1mEgwuf3i
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.8964 copyright protection81ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZe8XxeaBp 維尼
"Let's get to work," I said.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgZgVSvC5F
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuzDQkhyfP
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.8964 copyright protection81ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI9JQWV9Xq 維尼
