We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdeCpTYYzJ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3etVfAfix8
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x0cW2A2CH
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCJsYFDeq0
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj4OvTd0oF
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjgOKsZFe5
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEr07hy7oJ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWVjvYfwGQ
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O36G4tpBF
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvMmKxjgQj
"Come on," said Yong-nam, "the others must probably be wondering why I've taken so long."8964 copyright protection49ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbfGCRAmN8 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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4gi6KQFt0
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FDhdY55OG
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUT5hi38kU
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSpL5ioFzw
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8uPaGGBXR
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3XQ8DiLM8
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTGT1z0v50
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vMqS11PT0
"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."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WeVzAZ8DW
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0zO40o4Fg
"We're seven, Zoey," I said. "Don't worry, the elevator will hold us just fine."8964 copyright protection49ＰＥＮＡＮＡexjLyvV7F9 維尼
"Okay, just checking," said Zoey with a smile. "You remember what happened last time, right?"53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg2lNsO9f3
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbClo7uvvq
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 protection49ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXQxFxbFa8 維尼
"Okay, since there's nothing to worry about," said Yong-nam, "should we get going?"53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPJCc5QIQi
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMFdaQHDBh
"Yes, please," said Daniel.8964 copyright protection49ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7qVsWCy1Q 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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkvRIpCv7w
8964 copyright protection49ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP5cAN1QRe 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."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy9HcBbK9A
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY4VStm7dP
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ftiNeO5vC
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUZ8TEP8GC
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC4pOSLMsz
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk00jIdJxf
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDl7XUYN4B
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoXV26VqG3
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MpbiDtgmP
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDtflxhX0B
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVZj2BoWny
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rFy3HPYmN
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95ffH0HxZS
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCyPIcVAPc
"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."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf80gQOFqXw
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSvUp8CHpb
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqml3Rba1g
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2SoboZQvn
"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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgMzkJq4xh
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcTpwpcQOF
"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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQGBzZMySF
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsr32x1zFi
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1eRZ3RpC3
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9prYsj49tO
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8mpRraxCP
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAoA1eImmF
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gSg7sSoHu
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORYnhQqO80
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mjpCJwWdx
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWqTam0QZm
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Sb2qNUhhi
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMEtgt7mkI
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Yyr7JQ24
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEutL8jOdCH
He screamed.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGHBL0KvEc
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjwBu6aqTu
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNig6ugxvo
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQzZIl0ZVh
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDNoHhb9je
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj49kk6cZP
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK46VAqtzr
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwbOgrUr74
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlh3OBvHIX
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtCZbnb2DM
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RRvV81GpA
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF1K5NPCSO
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREltcfCax0
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVVfdRPpSq
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLSi2RypRz
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5sCrRgzmF
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ7067FDsV
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF4XqUcIpZ
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgSf82DFPW
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDwX3kvDvK
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOrmaTHbpo
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB1XL171Wm
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0SqpuPY34
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCLZtcOT6E
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JdWD1P5Qo
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8BOBGDtdt
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpi6JD1O5H
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroIYoWQecn
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl31q8zBXog
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttrrgYRxsD
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87NQ55DPKp
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6dfEXanB3
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFzR9xkeb7
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHgEzfvrNM
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRMhNhTHpE
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxegfXVuaX
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j0ghOtt1Z
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVpVW3fsP9
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh8fz4EARv
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMMcVV8MZR
"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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ1OK0F7wt
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXnWTMhKU3
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfd2u2c5Nw
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3dkKdwAe1
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XZSo5bwUJ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZsD6d8HpU
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeiHXQe7ce
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ620ggxk1yc
"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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBGy7dODa5
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFtM1Po7cJ
"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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4l1yNfutA
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbkwew7vlU
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekjh01XMmP
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwdEmopbfp
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxSj62qM2e
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWeLfgP1HS
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ahO3TgO24
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LudZvXAk7
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQD8jnXSXD
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJB7XlP67O
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXjDCFFIfr
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdniVrWHRoR
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVxQDz0gFk
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCw6MgwyX3
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0kF04cGhG
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmKDdrcKMO
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs1Ze1suFm
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BoWxIQMRE
"I second to that," said Zoey.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgF7NcGiI5
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6UZRO77j0
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EveSiRXI3
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiOtLr6xxF
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD4H3Mkkl0
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYialR2SsRv
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYBCFUuVQu
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8oX2DI1s1
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyL4xevtrK
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafhBzaqfoB
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBTB3QvxHh
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BYJ63CXeY
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFOCl3hxhu
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8N2NpcDes
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk5aejopjH
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYRJsus0ab
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK362OSoSwA
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWja7tBE4cs
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IzXu9XwL0
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFXUsG5X5Q
"Yep," Young-jae answered.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSePg6BpB5
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSt0kQtIQk
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPrI4SP9xW
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqJ3fLNicv
"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."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYLv7Rt3oS
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDHdVfmX02
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6orTfYxdT7
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOjAB6jZhq
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w40ADLxa2
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TtEm4Kufh
"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."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHA4IcDeCK
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUw7pu1eQz
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3rZt2xhUA
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d4fOJLYGg
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYayKmrk7H
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP8Qnhpfy1
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrxBzTNmkI
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1fTjxZPMx
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWne2TBPRjr
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5P24MjBCq
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnT9HqyUlC
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlPaFtKwaX
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhxTOgi0qe
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXMEMx2dsf
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCbrCR1yIs
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOSabCRiOw
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVrMXIL4mj
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nSLpPuJpq
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaNgTewazH
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJuuaiXN0c
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamUUh68Z0j
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahr41TYdBL
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVioBssqhqx
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPUgntJarC
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyehGLX5cwl
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC0CFReuWn
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLPtJui0my
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9UapDab6v
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHbfu9JUVo
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lPe5dF96B
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH773jjR4P
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouV6WF469p
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOQTuHvI5x
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxY9Hx0FEQ
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaJQLP9aF7
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKRcrBgBD0
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSeJFA0xMs
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuX6nV9zDa
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:53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv320PjGR7
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxePmMqBWAI
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckNknd3uvk
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPywKmLfIMp
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUIqxpQ3cI
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQyA8mdMGm
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDuwgcKL0T
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUG6OjN5bz
"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."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb80CZpZd8t
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU8RNXxLtt
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkFoRoBnoJ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sffMOdzLP
"What reward?" Christine asked.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQXfP271dG
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyO4yRUxV9
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXHrLVLFaJ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbrGwOQJBk
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuGn9P6M9U
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0zES2QVtF
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."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2IvtkfrhG
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpifXRHtYpc
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuH41cDBOk
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKNfA58Hg6
"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."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKIZdfVhP3
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkdCqavirT
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMAK7gUk0v
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eitbBTLc5
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY9btIKrcG
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhxkVW4j76
"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."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78arxBWSRU
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzA5zT7QU1
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRGaC7dSmz
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU23VeIX9x7
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uNKQGrmhk
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta5yGGyfWQ
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFIKkbXYkD
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6xn1aDrQK
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x2wHiel8C
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr2RWmugau
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYt8R6PpsZ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7RchmLkkS
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoKH2nIht5
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx37xIG9Tx8
"We'll do our best," I said.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8d91TWL7F
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtwO8ZPEbD
"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMcbPTiTkU
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WAzfjHGiy
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88KU0Q9E4O
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFcA4jyLkC
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJYCPKRrAx
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r0JEFmlY9
"We all did," said Daehyun.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lT8fSvJXX
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSPyggvwm0
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2KOE1hdBQ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqxGKRAN9d
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOstfs0sSZf
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2vmPoW6d4
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTi8QnhaGp
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYT4D9hJNa
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsiieeeQwd
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFutF5Pzk1t
"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."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXsLNtPLJa
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVUcSsD57i
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47fhtpEsIo
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau91YVt525
"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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QZLTeK41m
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOsh4zJdRB
Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG0htkCBq2
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JKW81OstC
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6YtUpv3Ox
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrUpySgZhH
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFaL8xTw2P
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtdhT7MSgN
"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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg10KMxj4kk
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCkBnnecDC
"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."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmDypAjhzG
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80SRsyD7mH
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gIwYsLIQM
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjr6sIHCo8
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpofh3rXil
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKXPdvOPAr
"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."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yIzxpKVzE
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHN5pwoar3
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzYqEABo1f
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs3SsfYU3T
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL12QJTBws
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6JbYNuCJA
"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."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IFXYvB3ah
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjiSChCiEt
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzCeMbc9lJ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CdMj0a1wo
"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."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS3nduLcGG
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1aBJmIrqT
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOgD5PCAI0
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DYk09HcFK
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tudfie4xI
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRptUEDEFXl
"Good, Sam is back," said Zoey.8964 copyright protection49ＰＥＮＡＮＡZui49wX4n6 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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG23FEEhYRy
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmovpzVnOFk
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEc2Dskyyz
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8IKnleNEN
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZn4lGZsfJ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhxZJAmxC0
Just as I thought. What a bummer.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljZSeedPaC
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9auBUYtjF
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfCbT5bPE4
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUo1QBr7lx
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw42sOey1do
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4pVkGczHR
"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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjw60yEbhG
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g5jTpcrYN
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2WkhPGMOz
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bmUjDvhIm
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTZyzro0Ze
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xVvIZUo7f
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57meO2x3s5
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8meoGIGqw
"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."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6htuuuXQT
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7Yo7pSIeX
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl0IqBEgvu
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwXOQlJsUk
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMgekYiNZC
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVmOwhZ8Lo
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?53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtLpYHT4gG
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgFPcXc2fb
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"8964 copyright protection49ＰＥＮＡＮＡlajHobBnMu 維尼
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0yUe1Pqkf
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XWX9w714t
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9ed9gNwZt
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2UsHqVM8g
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYJTc8LZvX
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnItSxMjBA
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLuEYsia6f
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hAwrW2iAW
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgFcj3xdvn
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68Wr8ulR3Q
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuINoqBdISb
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5quCxe23I
"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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBPTmq254A
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HVQnqGyoN
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJSsNEsGyS
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIcCVgenCb
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUsXgCmRA7
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4msbCvCYlR
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkszCwET3ZH
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21p3w3Msxz
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGCaAZ6zdF
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbKtG03KWZ
"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."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJClFJ0bkW
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ022BriS6to
"I agree," I said and Yong-nam beside me looked at the time on his watch.8964 copyright protection49ＰＥＮＡＮＡspJNIR2tNd 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."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDM0xRrVAi
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDRXEN1ivK
"Sounds good," said Himchan.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NrxsRx8dt
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi6GUvev0L
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6EoykNQ19
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA97aRDlJPc
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gaWec0ckv
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs27Te8gPI
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9EraVk2TP
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBo1NtUBOX
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 protection49ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK4J7y7M0D 維尼
"Let's get to work," I said.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWz3AyTE3f
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFTxOxYmH9
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.8964 copyright protection49ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFq5B46ga2 維尼
