"Okay, so here are the lyrics for the song," I said after writing them down.628Please respect copyright.PENANAhSJ5THecI1
628Please respect copyright.PENANAYVXtTLkDh1
Everyone's attention automatically turned to me. They all fell silent. I read out the lyrics first then sang them out.
"So, what do you think?" I asked, addressing the question towards BAP.628Please respect copyright.PENANAcsJMZAQ2bu
628Please respect copyright.PENANA3RUlGEjNB1
"Just admit it," said Zoey, "the song is awesome."628Please respect copyright.PENANAJYdfdzKC9d
628Please respect copyright.PENANAOIyiWdCspy
"Zoey." Christine gave her a look that told her to keep quiet. "Let the others take it in first."628Please respect copyright.PENANAukVt9oARua
628Please respect copyright.PENANAwSzJFjoq2R
"Zoey's right," said Daehyun. "The lyrics are great."628Please respect copyright.PENANALuwBNYTsS0
628Please respect copyright.PENANATa6kgJMJa8
"I now get what Daniel said," said Zelo, "the song is meant to be sad, but it's fun to sing. You can hear it with the way Sam sang it out."628Please respect copyright.PENANAI65pvkTeo3
628Please respect copyright.PENANAWG2h6A45bJ
"You should listen to the tune," said Mike. "You'll love it."628Please respect copyright.PENANAP3AM2dDloG
628Please respect copyright.PENANAxW157SkM4A
"I bet that's why you went searching for the guitar," said Jongup as he looked at me.628Please respect copyright.PENANA5s6uT7vuQG
628Please respect copyright.PENANAS9zkNBPw1B
"Play the guitar, Sam," Himchan insisted. "We're all dying to hear it. I bet Yong-guk can't wait any longer."628Please respect copyright.PENANAF6qQ4gUPnX
628Please respect copyright.PENANAjPLv3CzRzg
"Huh?" Yong-guk looked at Himchan beside him, looking confused. "No, I'm not."628Please respect copyright.PENANAPcyrOBoZTH
628Please respect copyright.PENANATwDfPX9bH1
"Of course you are," said Yong-nam as he gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "Don't forget, I'm your twin."628Please respect copyright.PENANAmH1JjjysXY
628Please respect copyright.PENANAJfDjcreeg0
"Okay," I said as I took the guitar that had been laying on the table the whole time. "Let me play it, then."628Please respect copyright.PENANAwA3onAEv0I
628Please respect copyright.PENANA44PF6XOoii
I positioned the guitar properly before me with my crossed legs supporting it. Before I started to strum the strings, I took in a deep breath. I played out the tune first. Afterwards, I started to sing out the chorus. It wasn't long so it ended sooner than expected.628Please respect copyright.PENANAAW6xP5Zf1m
628Please respect copyright.PENANACBoURmDRqz
"Wow," said Young-jae, looking at me like he's just seen something's dazzled him. "The song's going to sound awesome."628Please respect copyright.PENANAN4vnETm0Pe
628Please respect copyright.PENANANsDBomV4ug
"Thanks," I said. "Oh, before I forget," I reached out for the pencil on the table and started to write something down. "We also worked on the first verse, but we couldn't finish it up yesterday. We were having a little trouble with the words so we want to see what you guys think."628Please respect copyright.PENANAX3IbXnCaBs
628Please respect copyright.PENANAK0mdK0hnQq
"Alright," said Yong-guk, looking to see what I was writing on the paper. "Whatever it is, I bet we can handle it."628Please respect copyright.PENANA90NYouzRrc
628Please respect copyright.PENANAEn9MNWRXxH
"Can't wait to see you try," said Christine. "But then again, if it's you two l'm not worried."628Please respect copyright.PENANADti95nI0zi
628Please respect copyright.PENANAcXu8eGiv6X
"There you go again, Christine," I said after writing down the lyrics. "Okay, here we are." I laid down the pencil aside on the table.628Please respect copyright.PENANA911gqwULwI
628Please respect copyright.PENANAFYfAFGPYl0
I felt Jongup lean closer so as to see what I had written. I leaned to the side a little, but his blond hair almost covered my face. I couldn't help but take a sniff. His hair smelt really nice. Well, this seems unusual. I tried to lean away further so as not to smell him.628Please respect copyright.PENANAxr1PzgJHDB
628Please respect copyright.PENANAeXbfINBk5w
"Come on, Jongup," Zelo complained. "You're distracting Sam. We all want to hear what she has written."628Please respect copyright.PENANADkDBwKKDqc
628Please respect copyright.PENANAgK9wnDDwyB
"I don't think that I'm distracting her," said Jongup as he looked at Zelo. "Right, Sam?"628Please respect copyright.PENANABCquI97nfy
628Please respect copyright.PENANAkjdgc6Uhag
It's when he turned his head to look at me that I yelped and leaned back further than before, almost falling to the floor. Instead, I ended up leaning on Yong-nam.628Please respect copyright.PENANAOcPZPuUx75
628Please respect copyright.PENANAu7atDyNda7
Jongup looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. It's either he didn't know what he was about to do or he knew and was just playing dumb.628Please respect copyright.PENANAtWtfTthBNs
628Please respect copyright.PENANAOsAmlv4GqP
"What's wrong, Sam?" he asked.628Please respect copyright.PENANA2eCOUxC09b
628Please respect copyright.PENANA0DsWAO4XfZ
I suddenly blushed. He really didn't know that he had almost planted a kiss on me. Anyway, it's best not to tell him. I hope the others hadn't noticed.628Please respect copyright.PENANAr6ejTE3DQC
628Please respect copyright.PENANAkX7ircrL2h
"Goodness, Jongup," said Mike, "you almost kissed my sister."628Please respect copyright.PENANALO9PXlhXS6
628Please respect copyright.PENANAkLucOvy9El
And it just had to be Mike. Goodness, me!628Please respect copyright.PENANAYEnavnk6v0
628Please respect copyright.PENANARFQSlpEbAo
"Huh?" Jongup looked surprised. "I did?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAELwSKnlN5A
628Please respect copyright.PENANAfx3XJXn4VP
"And you were this close," said Zoey indicating a tiny space with her index finger and thumb.628Please respect copyright.PENANAgIUTre4PGF
628Please respect copyright.PENANAZvhsZJT6eS
"Oh...," Jongup turned to look at me. I was still leaning onto Yong-nam's shoulder. "I'm so sorry, Sam. Maybe I shouldn't have leaned in too close."628Please respect copyright.PENANA4mqutcF4SC
628Please respect copyright.PENANAXvYmQPVDHU
"You see, I told you so," said Zelo.628Please respect copyright.PENANAp50X9OeRJR
628Please respect copyright.PENANAgQnnYMJ78k
"No, I'm okay," I said as I sat upright. "Sorry for leaning on you like that, Yong-nam. I hope I'm not too heavy."628Please respect copyright.PENANA0acMeyxR2z
628Please respect copyright.PENANAZfpvLKMTnD
Yong-nam cleared his throat. "Not at all," he answered. "You're actually pretty light."628Please respect copyright.PENANALKNVH2p5xr
628Please respect copyright.PENANATcQ9zQqki6
I nervously laughed, not sure whether he meant it or not.628Please respect copyright.PENANA35lBKYLnhn
628Please respect copyright.PENANAyxu25HJ0hN
"Wow," said Zoey as she delightfully clapped her hands together. "First Sam avoids Jongup from kissing her and then she leans onto Yong-nam who prevents her from falling. So sweet."628Please respect copyright.PENANAQv24BAe7T0
628Please respect copyright.PENANAN7BYdU1RuN
"You're such a fantasist, Zoey," said Daniel as he shook his head.628Please respect copyright.PENANADi9mMvJNWJ
628Please respect copyright.PENANAKXcc5twgav
"Don't mind her," I said. "Can we forget the kissing incident and focus on the song, please?"628Please respect copyright.PENANA1P1JOMe0o4
628Please respect copyright.PENANAvyjRRa8vhw
"Sure," said Mike. "That's if we can reset Zoey's brain or else she won't stop talking about it."628Please respect copyright.PENANAQbLe7TI0sC
628Please respect copyright.PENANAg0mBBvpOZZ
"Are you saying that I'm kookoo?" Zoey asked, looking at Mike.628Please respect copyright.PENANAyMUeLLq2M7
628Please respect copyright.PENANAE0cC0l7wJh
"You can argue later, you two," I said, giving them a look. "Let's try and focus."628Please respect copyright.PENANAREcOA4s2IZ
628Please respect copyright.PENANAT4ryYX3A54
I went back to looking at the paper in front of me and read out the lyrics for them. Just like we did with BAP's song, we started coming up with lyrics. But this time, it proved to be a lot difficult than we expected. Whatever we came up with didn't really fit with the song.628Please respect copyright.PENANAJE4pzr4d5r
628Please respect copyright.PENANAarKBnSAvaO
"Is it just me or something's just off?" Young-jae asked.628Please respect copyright.PENANA1EiJ0DDezn
628Please respect copyright.PENANAKEyCG0RpMq
"I think I feel what you mean," said Zoey as she scratched her head.628Please respect copyright.PENANA67HV0wnvQ4
628Please respect copyright.PENANAl5VaFqmTHS
"Huh? What's Zoey saying?" Himchan asked.628Please respect copyright.PENANAxE8wsfA5cs
628Please respect copyright.PENANAc7xmzZVTHf
"I told you we should've rewired her brain a little," said Mike as he turned to look at me. I shook my head. Zoey on the other hand, ignored him. That's so unlike her.628Please respect copyright.PENANAgocyDH4MYz
628Please respect copyright.PENANAGxdIazF77v
"I feel we aren't working like we did the first time," said Christine.628Please respect copyright.PENANA2XBw616QBE
628Please respect copyright.PENANAjtuB3BSi8U
"Ya, that's what I meant," said Zoey.628Please respect copyright.PENANALPtOCrHxwZ
628Please respect copyright.PENANATmMnWmguTD
"We just aren't coming up with the right lyrics," said Yong-guk, "that's all."628Please respect copyright.PENANAX1wYvGPWFB
628Please respect copyright.PENANA9UdSqJEAYr
"Why is that?" Himchan asked.628Please respect copyright.PENANASte7F4E0Or
628Please respect copyright.PENANAgBVg7bzhye
"Who knows," said Daniel. "What do you think, Sam?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAu2pNpvMfmJ
628Please respect copyright.PENANA39AsokFkP5
I shrugged my shoulders as I also couldn't figure out why we found it so difficult. I scratched the back of my head and pouted my lip a little.628Please respect copyright.PENANAp8mcuZx3uj
628Please respect copyright.PENANAx6dKzD9uNQ
"You look like you're about to cry, Sam," said Jongup.628Please respect copyright.PENANAqEHYWD9fwD
628Please respect copyright.PENANAN5zxMWrtfs
"Don't mind me," I said. "I'm frustrated that we're going nowhere."628Please respect copyright.PENANA5emNU2oTrj
628Please respect copyright.PENANA2zytdiSBnI
"Maybe we're all just tired," said Zelo.628Please respect copyright.PENANAVprPUQnTVu
628Please respect copyright.PENANATYamatf3zt
"I felt we rested enough," said Daehyun.628Please respect copyright.PENANAGWGkd3psF8
628Please respect copyright.PENANA8oTCz50rJJ
"Or maybe we've been in the same place for too long," I suggested. "Sometimes the environment contributes greatly."628Please respect copyright.PENANAlli7e383V2
628Please respect copyright.PENANAGxAyyiznSa
"Maybe," said Yong-guk.628Please respect copyright.PENANAyqZkAnTtDW
628Please respect copyright.PENANAMIIXARtpaM
"What do you think, Yong-nam?" Christine asked as she turned to look at him.628Please respect copyright.PENANABY26HkJ1h1
628Please respect copyright.PENANAjYETgiSQFx
He raised his arms up to stretch. As soon as he put them down, he said, "I think we're all just tired. We exhausted ourselves working on BAP's piece and thought we would do the same with this one. If you ask me, we should just call it a day and continue tomorrow."628Please respect copyright.PENANAthGgI7nYP7
628Please respect copyright.PENANAqN4282Tnn1
"Tomorrow?" Daniel looked shocked at the idea. "Won't that be a little too late for us?"628Please respect copyright.PENANA2ctrrkfByq
628Please respect copyright.PENANAENUt0kisSc
"You're right," I said as I slapped my forehead. "We've to meet the songwriters and composers for the album. We won't have enough time."628Please respect copyright.PENANA0durJtqs3r
628Please respect copyright.PENANAOZIeQ1CiEQ
"Not forgetting that we should at least have something to present to Yang Hyun-suk," said Zoey.628Please respect copyright.PENANAvfDxW7rDTa
628Please respect copyright.PENANA1CAL6qT6PE
"I told Collins to buy me more time, but I doubt Yang Hyun-suk will even want to hear it. Goodness, just thinking about it feels overwhelming." I buried my face into my hands.628Please respect copyright.PENANA0eiugM6wxK
628Please respect copyright.PENANAa3odRBfcpE
"Now I wish we never had to make an album," said Zoey as she leaned back on the chair and sighed.628Please respect copyright.PENANAuFUeocY1RW
628Please respect copyright.PENANAjvkupTAza8
"Wow, you guys are working on an album?" Jongup asked.628Please respect copyright.PENANAdrKp3Tdgca
628Please respect copyright.PENANAB4z2rlMVeP
"Yep," I answered as I lifted my face up from my hands. "Our managers are ambitious."628Please respect copyright.PENANAHWeo0foF3q
628Please respect copyright.PENANAc4mO8js8XP
"At least we don't have to worry about the other songs," said Zoey.628Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3PcV9xeed
628Please respect copyright.PENANAbbhc3nMO0O
"But you heard what Collins said this morning, Zoey. This one has to be awesome. But the way we're so exhausted, I feel we aren't going anywhere."628Please respect copyright.PENANAwZliS850sH
628Please respect copyright.PENANAqOxcvhjiq7
"I think we should take a little break," said Yong-nam.628Please respect copyright.PENANA9gbvpaxt7p
628Please respect copyright.PENANAVZDkMRr6Ny
I went back first onto the floor with my eyes closed. I really did feel exhausted. Why did fatigue have to settle in like this?628Please respect copyright.PENANAO8WUiQT7u6
628Please respect copyright.PENANAPIVGUGQQRh
"You're scaring me, Sam," I heard Yong-guk say.628Please respect copyright.PENANASVKKYCWmui
628Please respect copyright.PENANAN8ceNdWew2
"Oh, don't mind her," said Zoey. "She started this and finding a way to finish it is frustrating."628Please respect copyright.PENANA2iyYtHVGuf
628Please respect copyright.PENANAgr7NqP33jD
I smiled a little at what Zoey said. Starting something and not finishing it really is frustrating, especially if it involves something that you really love to do. And with time ticking by, Yang Hyun-suk and Collins will have no choice but to be disappointed tomorrow.628Please respect copyright.PENANAxXKFt1dD0a
628Please respect copyright.PENANAEhY5FkpjN8
"Wait..., does this mean we won't have the reward Lee was talking about?" I heard Daniel ask.628Please respect copyright.PENANAugR0OiTGm9
628Please respect copyright.PENANAG9jvhXRWMK
I opened my eyes as I remembered Daesung's invitation. I really wish I could tell them the truth, but I held my tongue. Even if we leave this place without much progress, Lee won't hold us back because it isn't much of a reward, but an invitation to go out for an outdoor movie. I sat up.628Please respect copyright.PENANA7sW4OLgzO0
628Please respect copyright.PENANAt2TM3UCSf8
"Don't worry about that, Daniel," I said. "Lee will give us that reward."628Please respect copyright.PENANAwOQ7ApRK2D
628Please respect copyright.PENANAG2PJJepEOq
"For someone who seems tired, you sound pretty confident," said Himchan.628Please respect copyright.PENANA1fFfP6rkJv
628Please respect copyright.PENANAtUGQ01vb5m
"I just know." I smiled at him as I shrugged my shoulders.628Please respect copyright.PENANA6zpqV4WVzY
628Please respect copyright.PENANAWkLdZ1RrKw
"Do you've any idea what it could be?" Daniel asked.628Please respect copyright.PENANAkXQWzrRjvZ
628Please respect copyright.PENANAobzP5XXFDC
I shook my head. It's best it turns out as a surprise.628Please respect copyright.PENANATvLRkc4MWy
628Please respect copyright.PENANA6z4XTuU7Sa
"So, what are we going to do now?" Zelo asked. "Just sit and do nothing?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAPeDY3V1uFl
628Please respect copyright.PENANAnHcvmvw9vp
"We can do something fun to pass the time," Christine suggested.628Please respect copyright.PENANAldnsfrfyR7
628Please respect copyright.PENANAWxmfDHBsPU
"Not me," I went back to lying down on the floor.628Please respect copyright.PENANAtM6tBEdWso
628Please respect copyright.PENANAdON8swkd8h
No one said a word. I could feel a few eyes on me, while others, I'm guessing, gave each other looks.628Please respect copyright.PENANAen17B0Hy8N
628Please respect copyright.PENANAE281eo5Ok2
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "You're such a party pooper."628Please respect copyright.PENANAPRFJNABd1e
628Please respect copyright.PENANAAI178C0AWt
"Haven't heard you call me that in a while," I said as I smiled at the ceiling.628Please respect copyright.PENANAv7vthnEpUB
628Please respect copyright.PENANAflD3RqFMZY
"Get up, will you? This is no time to be lying down."628Please respect copyright.PENANAtOVvbFbghU
628Please respect copyright.PENANAnlLQfGvEK1
"There's nothing wrong with lying down to rest, is there?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAZLE6eN34k8
628Please respect copyright.PENANABpdkGZlkHT
"Goodness, me." Zoey sounded frustrated. She couldn't argue over that and she knew it.628Please respect copyright.PENANAijppfEGaMB
628Please respect copyright.PENANAGfu0hlPhcL
"Maybe we should call Lee to pick us up," Mike suggested.628Please respect copyright.PENANAq1Va9voVEk
628Please respect copyright.PENANAeMyanjkZlx
"Don't bother," I said as I closed my eyes. "With us not under her radar anymore she's probably doing something for herself right now."628Please respect copyright.PENANA7zVTTxrHT5
628Please respect copyright.PENANAUiWKrvB92H
I heard Zelo and Daehyun chuckle while I heard Christine and Zoey mutter out in frustration.628Please respect copyright.PENANAjvsnqoZES3
628Please respect copyright.PENANAkswG9KuroR
"Looks like you're stuck here with us until Lee comes to pick you up," I heard Yong-guk say.628Please respect copyright.PENANAyIyexjaSAM
628Please respect copyright.PENANAt4InZWivfR
"But we can't sit here doing nothing," said Daniel. "Like Christine said, we better find something to do."628Please respect copyright.PENANA75HP6viXh6
628Please respect copyright.PENANAMwiSmh5Loj
"You should be resting," I suggested, my eyes still closed.628Please respect copyright.PENANAQV6iCIS9qd
628Please respect copyright.PENANAjAPsyhwJRo
"Well, we don't want to," said Zoey. I imagined her folding her arms and looking at me like she would at Mike when he got her angry.628Please respect copyright.PENANA77m4pO0GFr
628Please respect copyright.PENANAhVc1FEZDFY
I smiled. "Suit yourself."628Please respect copyright.PENANAyCkg3zf0ja
628Please respect copyright.PENANAxIhVGO8Hef
"No one wants to do karaoke in the recording booth?" Jongup suggested.628Please respect copyright.PENANAtOnHJWBcwm
628Please respect copyright.PENANAcZh65SRxhj
"I think we've done enough singing for one day," said Daehyun.628Please respect copyright.PENANAwyIUDNxy9D
628Please respect copyright.PENANAEuPOhvcnx2
"I agree," said Zoey.628Please respect copyright.PENANA6vC4HD1dF1
628Please respect copyright.PENANApLYdaJ6ENv
"If there's clearly nothing to do, then I think we should be resting like Sam's doing right now," said Yong-guk.628Please respect copyright.PENANAEyFNzSgjcH
628Please respect copyright.PENANA5BdkGJoqvR
"I like your thinking," I said with my eyes closed. I raised my hand to give him a thumbs up.628Please respect copyright.PENANApeFBTSWY72
628Please respect copyright.PENANAESaZhBDlno
"You songwriters all think the same," I heard Christine mutter.628Please respect copyright.PENANAVatmbosCjb
628Please respect copyright.PENANAxzQGWnfDdM
"I might not agree with all this," Mike started to say, "but I'm going through with Sam's idea. I'm just going to lean back on the couch a little."628Please respect copyright.PENANAOJmWYZC5Cp
628Please respect copyright.PENANA0aw6HrA2xs
"Huh? Not you too, Mike," said Zoey, sounding surprised.628Please respect copyright.PENANAPaa7vWSaDE
628Please respect copyright.PENANAP1xMZmHmrK
"Quit it, Zoey." I heard him move on the couch, obviously putting himself in a more comfortable position. "There's nothing to do. Why not relax for a bit?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAybDTZmn8d9
628Please respect copyright.PENANAmG6UUu8YUw
"I shouldn't be surprised coming from you."628Please respect copyright.PENANAiMmpySJSKe
628Please respect copyright.PENANAdKccuot9Td
"Ya, ya, ya, Zoey. I'm the bad guy here. Doesn't matter now, does it?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAGNL8VPjmYr
628Please respect copyright.PENANAaemGjx4opg
"Well, if there's nothing for you guys to do at the moment, then I'm going to work on something," said Yong-guk.628Please respect copyright.PENANAserUlhbWAt
628Please respect copyright.PENANA21hcqRFJGP
"And what could that be?" Young-jae asked.628Please respect copyright.PENANAA48NqU645Z
628Please respect copyright.PENANATCS3ROEYny
"Our song, of course."628Please respect copyright.PENANAGUgLNgMVGC
628Please respect copyright.PENANAhtevafsASp
"You go ahead and do that," I said.628Please respect copyright.PENANASCZTHrv3Td
628Please respect copyright.PENANAsiphqkaRiL
There came an awkward pause and I opened one eye to look at him.628Please respect copyright.PENANAbg4cVDoVdz
628Please respect copyright.PENANAqSE6CK0PbP
"You look surprised, Yong-guk," said Yong-nam. He took the words right out of my mouth.628Please respect copyright.PENANAtpEfGU3gma
628Please respect copyright.PENANARfrO08wSvT
"I thought that would get Sam up from the floor since she seems to really like helping out," said Yong-guk.628Please respect copyright.PENANA8b3d0fZe3w
628Please respect copyright.PENANAf3Yo2IOacd
"I'm drained," I said as I closed my one eye and placed my open palm under my head. "As exciting as it sounds, I'll pass."628Please respect copyright.PENANAUryQqcou6A
628Please respect copyright.PENANA3MCEyGiUQy
"Okay, then," said Yong-guk. "And you, Mike?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAjeT5VzG70v
628Please respect copyright.PENANAeL47M7qVBN
"I'll pass too," said Mike.628Please respect copyright.PENANAmXntrOXL0C
628Please respect copyright.PENANA0FlpGKeWwR
"Okay. I'll be by the console. Any of you guys want to join me?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAnmIAIrRutf
628Please respect copyright.PENANAWzu9Iw5gCa
"Well...," Zelo sounded hesitant and I heard a scratching sound across the table. I imagined he was scratching his head, wondering whether to go or not. "Me too," he finally said. "I don't feel like working on the song right now."628Please respect copyright.PENANALSMIvjzhhe
628Please respect copyright.PENANA5CZLvlzkJt
"I'm going to relax over here too," said Young-jae.628Please respect copyright.PENANAwQKJ5adQC9
628Please respect copyright.PENANAZw0D0KkBjE
"What's up with everyone?" Yong-guk asked, sounding surprised.628Please respect copyright.PENANAtjveA3qQuR
628Please respect copyright.PENANAwjf4NmpSBR
"Like Yong-nam said, we're tired," I said as I sat up. "The best thing to do right now is relax."628Please respect copyright.PENANAwQnd6dK4yo
628Please respect copyright.PENANAN9H3PmqnWx
"Aren't you worried about not making progress on your song?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAk41EWfM7F3
628Please respect copyright.PENANAhLtczTqBdQ
"I was about to ask the same question," said Zoey with a sulky look on her face. 628Please respect copyright.PENANAsOXu8yeL0i
628Please respect copyright.PENANAce8lPxalLr
I shrugged. "At first I was, but right now, I need to relax a little before my brain explodes. Don't let me stop you from working on your song."628Please respect copyright.PENANARFnPhrv5JJ
628Please respect copyright.PENANAKf0svaX5Rx
"Alright, then," said Yong-nam as he also slept on the floor. "Looks like I can also rest. Keeping your eyes on time can be tiring too."628Please respect copyright.PENANACdzKxf8wJi
628Please respect copyright.PENANAicXa2gkscQ
"You of all people shouldn't even be sleeping," said Yong-guk.628Please respect copyright.PENANAdQcvYNqfaN
628Please respect copyright.PENANAH20I9QTOVW
I laughed. As much as I wanted to hear these two brothers argue, it ended there. I went back to sleeping on the floor.628Please respect copyright.PENANAiuTTc62AAl
628Please respect copyright.PENANAUhAldS510h
"I'm going to join the relaxing spree too," said Jongup, as he pulled out his phone from his pocket and slept on the floor beside me.628Please respect copyright.PENANAZyqxHDeeWZ
628Please respect copyright.PENANApc6xZurSzw
"Looks like the majority wins," said Himchan as he chuckled.628Please respect copyright.PENANALkNDLg0dzA

Zoey mourned in frustration. Even I could tell she's tired. She had no choice but to give in.628Please respect copyright.PENANA9RR7Vtw8L0
628Please respect copyright.PENANAfwwp0SFwQt
"Oh, man!" Daniel muttered out loud.628Please respect copyright.PENANAxForXDzOms
628Please respect copyright.PENANAiojPOt7Y1f
I lifted my head from the floor to see what Daniel's doing. He had his phone out too and tapping at it. He's probably playing a game.628Please respect copyright.PENANAi5Xc5FZj9R
628Please respect copyright.PENANA4LfiC3alZf
"Sorry, guys," he said. He quickly looked up from his phone when he noticed people's eyes on him. "Playing a game over here."628Please respect copyright.PENANA3hSLGcMGfv
628Please respect copyright.PENANAurk0GDnNwy
I shook my head at him as I put my head back on the floor. I looked beside me and saw Jongup on Instagram looking at cute cat videos. I turned the other side to see Yong-nam with his arm over his face, covering his eyes. He did seem just as tired as all of us. He did help come up with some lyrics, so no argument there.628Please respect copyright.PENANAYkU19LDOk0
628Please respect copyright.PENANATpZF51n85X
I heard Zoey sigh and that brought a smile across my face. "I give up," she said. "I haven't been on Twitter lately. Time to see what's going on in the world."628Please respect copyright.PENANAa4C7aK1HdT
628Please respect copyright.PENANAlv4FkW90bo
"I think I'll have a little shut-eye," said Christine.628Please respect copyright.PENANA0gJZ3karN1
628Please respect copyright.PENANALuADZ7hUwt
Everyone seemed to be busy doing their own things now. I counted Jongup, Daniel, Young-jae and Zoey on their phones. Daehyun, Himchan and Zelo were engaged in a conversation. Even when Mike was resting on the couch, he seemed to be contributing whenever he can. Christine, Yong-nam and I were really the ones resting as we closed our eyes.628Please respect copyright.PENANAxCw3nCZKTG
628Please respect copyright.PENANAF6ITLjPsQY
I heard someone stand up and guessed it was Yong-guk. I could hear footsteps head towards the other side of the room where the recording booth and console were. He seemed serious with what he wanted to do. I continued to lay there on the floor, hoping that I don't fall asleep.628Please respect copyright.PENANAbCAA61ggU0
628Please respect copyright.PENANAoHpjywmWiM
I found myself slowly imagining about the outdoor movie we were going to watch. Will it be an oldies movie? I would love to watch such. It just sets you in the mood when it has to.628Please respect copyright.PENANAlwqNGXMooL
628Please respect copyright.PENANAHiS03tTgc6
I heard Jongup chuckle to himself and I knew he's still on his cat videos. A thought crossed my mind. Here I am thinking of the outdoor movie when I should be thinking about the song. I don't feel like dwelling on it. Now is the time to relax, nothing more.628Please respect copyright.PENANAUAlMlFFWcR
628Please respect copyright.PENANAv3anUy74iN
"Hey, Sam?" I heard Jongup call me. "Are you asleep?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAiAh6x6xF6h
628Please respect copyright.PENANAyjdHgGxYH7
"No," I answered. I drew my eyes open and looked at him. "What is it?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAASwm64UjIL
628Please respect copyright.PENANATPLToZebze
"Watch this," he said as he scooted closer that our heads nearly touched. He held his phone up for the two of us to see. We watched a cute cat video where a little white and brown kitten was chasing a movable toy mouse on the floor. It was cute and yet funny at the same time as the kitten tried so many times to capture it. Jongup and I laughed.628Please respect copyright.PENANAC3mF0CfbOE
628Please respect copyright.PENANAZM6YdE7zWL
"Oh, my," I said as I wiped away the tears in my eyes. "The little kitten really struggled. But you've to admit, it's so cute."628Please respect copyright.PENANAiznNcSdoFt
628Please respect copyright.PENANAcrbkJVE1XX
"I know," said Jongup. "You should see this previous one. It will knock your socks off."628Please respect copyright.PENANAbPgNqdyIPf
628Please respect copyright.PENANAxZZ359ADTI
I joined Jongup in watching more cat videos. We soon moved on to watch people participate in various dance challenges.628Please respect copyright.PENANAE2TZiUkk0B
628Please respect copyright.PENANAUWFhu8dPRs
"We should've a dance challenge one day," I said to Jongup as we watched.628Please respect copyright.PENANA7zBPPRYF3p
628Please respect copyright.PENANArZTzjbl2Lm
"Huh?" he turned to look at me. "We should've a dance challenge?"628Please respect copyright.PENANArymnReS4qa
628Please respect copyright.PENANAYZP4DThBRf
"Ya. I mean The Toxins vs BAP."628Please respect copyright.PENANAOIIdkaHjN3
628Please respect copyright.PENANA7dxkXdd89Y
"Oh..., like the one you had with Monsta X?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1JeXtazPy
628Please respect copyright.PENANAVC35j316yG
"Yes, like that one. You watched it?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAWthHVCaorR
628Please respect copyright.PENANAPohOaX7cMC
"I think a lot of us did. People really liked it."628Please respect copyright.PENANArXUbQkw70i
628Please respect copyright.PENANAnIS18azw2Q
"Too bad we lost. But it was fun. We should've one one of these days. That's if we could even make the time for it."628Please respect copyright.PENANAhhQn3g5C3r
628Please respect copyright.PENANAjB4LM1eDWd
"Oh, you've an album to work on."628Please respect copyright.PENANAaweAq5k1iq
628Please respect copyright.PENANAntSLnpj44T
I stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Just thinking about it drains me." I went back to looking at his phone.628Please respect copyright.PENANA0PblEPZFxZ
628Please respect copyright.PENANAaH5xH2sLLQ
"Did I hear someone talk about having a dance challenge with BAP?" Zoey asked.628Please respect copyright.PENANAxkzTygiOeT
628Please respect copyright.PENANAXXTMNuVgFY
I raised my head a little and saw Zoey still on her phone.628Please respect copyright.PENANAfypn90r0eK
628Please respect copyright.PENANAlPZQX2KW35
"Yes, I said that," I said as I dropped my head and stared at Jongup's phone.628Please respect copyright.PENANAv59KHxHpvH
628Please respect copyright.PENANAvo6cThTUtE
"Why not do so now?"628Please respect copyright.PENANA3XJ3em5BMA
628Please respect copyright.PENANALcRYbMBkVQ
"No!" Christine, Mike and I said out loud at the same time.628Please respect copyright.PENANA6MDReXVfJN
628Please respect copyright.PENANAbSJNSCvOAO
"Eish, guys. It's why I asked. You don't have to eat me alive."628Please respect copyright.PENANAlsuhmh74xE
628Please respect copyright.PENANAojLWjCQC1A
Himchan and the other BAP members around the table started to chuckle.628Please respect copyright.PENANAYc38DaTPbi
628Please respect copyright.PENANA2c7FeBxdl2
"You Toxins really are something," said Himchan. "You do know that the majority of you opposed, right?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAz4YLvsNdSB
628Please respect copyright.PENANAB9Q5xyHvU0
"Except Daniel," said Zelo.628Please respect copyright.PENANACD6xGKCulg
628Please respect copyright.PENANAmfAoFZ69gE
"Oh, I refuse too," said Daniel, still on his phone.628Please respect copyright.PENANAnTlpmQfgCV
628Please respect copyright.PENANAKxaN8D2FWN
Zoey tsked. "You guys are no fun."628Please respect copyright.PENANAOV5IL4r4Kt
628Please respect copyright.PENANACtUpPsXhCk
"Use logic, Zoey," said Christine. "We're all tired and don't have the energy for a dance challenge."628Please respect copyright.PENANA0NQjt52eMN
628Please respect copyright.PENANAr4Z78SYHWm
"I know that. I thought maybe someone's in the mood for it."628Please respect copyright.PENANARcPgSatG5a
628Please respect copyright.PENANA4Bd4d3JPQv
"No one is in the mood for it," said Mike.628Please respect copyright.PENANAjxVBAmtSzs
628Please respect copyright.PENANAQnLO0WHvsj
"And what if the BAP members were?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAzqH48Gj4Eb
628Please respect copyright.PENANApxUsUsbbWs
I heard Daehyun nervously chuckle. "To be honest, Zoey," he said, "I'm definitely not in the mood."628Please respect copyright.PENANA1lIPXSpaWz
628Please respect copyright.PENANAIzYhNOT62R
"Me too," said Young-jae.628Please respect copyright.PENANAl0jpoXB6Ev
628Please respect copyright.PENANATnrkGWKzyT
"Me three," said Zelo.628Please respect copyright.PENANArJ9JDe2fuM
628Please respect copyright.PENANAgC2HCpQ0DM
"Guess I don't have to ask you, Himchan," said Zoey, sounding unimpressed.628Please respect copyright.PENANA7qAlMEQB8g
628Please respect copyright.PENANAj2drhcc1de
Himchan, just like Daehyun, nervously chuckled too.628Please respect copyright.PENANA0CRG1KZTYk
628Please respect copyright.PENANAGKebM1nP4Y
"You can ask Yong-guk," Zelo suggested.628Please respect copyright.PENANALjSnSIYTaF
628Please respect copyright.PENANAT1zHWg604c
"Nah. He's already busy and I don't like to be a bother."628Please respect copyright.PENANAk33nUHZiMQ
628Please respect copyright.PENANA7JLyIqIaEu
"Really?" Mike asked. Uh-oh. I smell an argument brewing. "You bother a lot of us everyday."628Please respect copyright.PENANAr4Fjk8smga
628Please respect copyright.PENANAO3FBpax13F
"What did you say!?"628Please respect copyright.PENANA56GLXEJivi
628Please respect copyright.PENANAGrGA2V0XA6
"Quiet down, Zoey," said Christine. "You're disturbing Yong-nam. He's probably asleep."628Please respect copyright.PENANATX7DOIl2oM
628Please respect copyright.PENANA9xaMrybmF3
I turned to look at Yong-nam beside me and saw him move his arm above his eyes. He had one eye open. He turned his eye to look at me. I almost yelped. I felt embarrassed that he had caught me looking at him. The corner of his lips raised to a smile. He closed his eye and moved his arm back to cover his eyes. That was it.628Please respect copyright.PENANAjJqZEOFBL7
628Please respect copyright.PENANACGkLqaoeve
"I bet he isn't," said Zoey. "Is he, Sam?"628Please respect copyright.PENANANPXAZ44Hiy
628Please respect copyright.PENANAFrrBb6H9KZ
"Huh?" I got a little caught off guard as I didn't answer Zoey's question.628Please respect copyright.PENANAk8jYhfSSdz
628Please respect copyright.PENANArIL5SnKaTL
"Is he awake?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAlCZEJIDEQe
628Please respect copyright.PENANAGPFoE9St15
"Not sure," I answered. "He would've said something if he was."628Please respect copyright.PENANAoM1KAOwI6G
628Please respect copyright.PENANAa0AsgkWXtR
I looked at him and noticed a wide smile on his face. Okay...., didn't know what to make of it, so I quickly turned my attention back to Jongup's phone.628Please respect copyright.PENANAooPq3X4ewZ
628Please respect copyright.PENANAPQJDe3jxoR
"Anyway, where was I?" Zoey asked as she paused to think a bit. I noticed that no one's willing to remind her. It's best not to.628Please respect copyright.PENANARnOz48maxX
628Please respect copyright.PENANAnBU7do6Fab
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "It's what you said, Mike. How am I a bother to you?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAjYRVg9tKoD
628Please respect copyright.PENANABmSO4vLOCV
"You're being a bother right now. I'm trying to rest and you're disturbing me."628Please respect copyright.PENANAjcbaSSL39T
628Please respect copyright.PENANA6DNH6QVX08
Zoey hissed that I thought a snake had magically appeared in the room. If she was one, no doubt she would attack Mike first.628Please respect copyright.PENANAkDlax9D3gK
628Please respect copyright.PENANASEqAh1CcCg
"Enough," said Christine. "No one wants to see or hear you two fight."628Please respect copyright.PENANArTmoUJNbNg
628Please respect copyright.PENANA1aOncJeHSg
"Mike started it," said Zoey.628Please respect copyright.PENANASvs9wX3hvV
628Please respect copyright.PENANACnPPuFF79H
"You amplified it," said Mike. "You always do."628Please respect copyright.PENANA4DMKRjyVRH
628Please respect copyright.PENANAGh575yJzff
"For once I agree with Mike," I said. "Let it go, Zoey."628Please respect copyright.PENANAaWUk3FdNZR
628Please respect copyright.PENANAuB54sfkDfu
"You guys are unbelievable," said Zoey.628Please respect copyright.PENANAjNAfWA14OH
628Please respect copyright.PENANAzgyhTVtCnP
"You're unbelievable," said Himchan as he chuckled. "You really are a drama queen. No offense."628Please respect copyright.PENANANrxIt8ZeyO
628Please respect copyright.PENANAaIEUOBMqAs
"None taken. These guys call me that all the time."628Please respect copyright.PENANA1a7pwJIT5L
628Please respect copyright.PENANA5YzeovprjW
After a while, all of us settled back to what we were doing. I was still watching videos with Jongup when I suddenly sat up from the floor. If I continued lying there, I would probably have a backache.628Please respect copyright.PENANAs6nxCcIFMw
628Please respect copyright.PENANAEXqTw8y3Tu
I stretched out my arms and stood up, stretching my whole body.628Please respect copyright.PENANAQdc1X1RUBi
628Please respect copyright.PENANABVOSuiFW4u
"I've had enough of watching Instagram videos," I told Jongup.628Please respect copyright.PENANA4CPsDjIUKP
628Please respect copyright.PENANAgIoSDYfNaC
He gave me a smile and went back to looking at his phone. I turned to look at everyone and almost all of them were either quietly resting or on their phones.628Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ0CKhcfRJ
628Please respect copyright.PENANAOG6hf0txCC
I looked over at Yong-guk who was still seated at the console. I decided to go over and see how he's progressing with the song.628Please respect copyright.PENANAZl5cbgCVsx
628Please respect copyright.PENANABnWl6ULzac
"Hey, there," I said to him when I got behind him. I bent over to look at him from the side of his face.628Please respect copyright.PENANAmAxmgkHk6p
628Please respect copyright.PENANAnrr7aXoyM5
"Oh, Sam," he looked up at me, surprised. "I didn't hear you coming."628Please respect copyright.PENANAm0ufJfzz6d
628Please respect copyright.PENANAxuvw58g1Wa
"I've cat feet," I said as I took the empty seat next to him.628Please respect copyright.PENANAMc2VOPsp8s
628Please respect copyright.PENANA3OiP5Qgh2B
"Cat feet?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAkRPAWbrNWa
628Please respect copyright.PENANAyI9A2nQb9E
"I'm told there are times when people don't hear me coming so they say I've cat feet. I sometimes scare them."628Please respect copyright.PENANAOZ4S5kghUF
628Please respect copyright.PENANAv5sJDYUZ8j
"Oh, I see."628Please respect copyright.PENANAJq1TYPJAD0
628Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3AmiBdGAm
"It's true, Yong-guk," Zoey said behind us. "So don't upset her or else she might come to your room and murder you."628Please respect copyright.PENANAsA2pbDh05k
628Please respect copyright.PENANAVnh3o5Jw4P
"I'll keep that in mind," said Yong-guk as he turned to smile at her.628Please respect copyright.PENANA5m5CVFP0Jf
628Please respect copyright.PENANA6j4DoU0RJI
"Don't listen to her," I said as I turned to look at the console in front of me. "So, what are you really working on? I thought we were done and dusted with your song."628Please respect copyright.PENANAmExxxvzDJa
628Please respect copyright.PENANALyG7MPZGiD
"I'm not working on our song," said Yong-guk as he went to work on the laptop.628Please respect copyright.PENANAiw18RsDKJJ
628Please respect copyright.PENANAVhiPZHCPEQ
"Then, what are you working on?" I raised my eyebrow at him.628Please respect copyright.PENANAXKFNfbNcX9
628Please respect copyright.PENANAsXDYGGyUQF
"On your song," he answered.628Please respect copyright.PENANANhUqakM9rl
628Please respect copyright.PENANAG1sUJ7T30e
"Huh?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAermLqAGZzw
628Please respect copyright.PENANAJG97GURc6B
"The tune you played earlier gave me a little inspiration to somehow come up with an instrumental. It's still not finished since I just started."628Please respect copyright.PENANAZEjTYeOjZ5
628Please respect copyright.PENANA25pIj159ak
"Wow." I'm surprised. I didn't think Yong-guk would go this far. I didn't even know what to say.628Please respect copyright.PENANAEXeOX158lw
628Please respect copyright.PENANA5cUE3nFgZt
"Hey, are you okay, Sam?" Yong-guk asked.628Please respect copyright.PENANAEcPHyvRlst
628Please respect copyright.PENANAwgrZvDpC1W
I quickly turned to look at him. "Huh?"628Please respect copyright.PENANA1rxLF7qE6X
628Please respect copyright.PENANAw21XeVqCR8
"You spaced out for a bit. Is it a bad idea that I'm working on the instrumental? I know there will probably be someone working on it, but I thought I could do something, you know?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAvU5UcILK8J
628Please respect copyright.PENANAV6f1ijkP7J
I smiled at him. He really means it. There aren't many people in the world who are so thoughtful.628Please respect copyright.PENANAuM8WGf9PSz
628Please respect copyright.PENANAtjCqxscJlt
"I know what you mean. And no. I think there's no better person to work on it than you, Yong-guk."628Please respect copyright.PENANADPoG6lSAXr
628Please respect copyright.PENANAzgtXGMYbKK
"Really?" He looked a little surprised with what I said.628Please respect copyright.PENANAn6ioSE7GkS
628Please respect copyright.PENANAoyWRSg5mwy
"Of course! Who would've thought we would've you helping us? It's actually really nice of you."628Please respect copyright.PENANAYmOMYlaRJg
628Please respect copyright.PENANAsyo1m4mB5d
I noticed his cheeks start to redden a little and he quickly turned away. I continued to smile. I had this overwhelming feeling like I could hug him, but now isn't the time.628Please respect copyright.PENANA8qGaHcEOc8
628Please respect copyright.PENANA1Tmohd6N2O
"May I hear what you've done so far?" I asked.628Please respect copyright.PENANADbl5ezEBeL
628Please respect copyright.PENANApBI0xPPovr
"Ah..., sure," he said as he brought over the laptop closer.628Please respect copyright.PENANAn7rlsGATFj
628Please respect copyright.PENANANQ9E5pcIZ1
He showed me what he had done and even when the instrumental was short, it sounded great. He really did follow the tune and melody like I had done with the guitar. He also added a few beats into the mix making the song sound more like pop.628Please respect copyright.PENANApzvCimcryV
628Please respect copyright.PENANAlPk2M23buL
"Amazing," I looked at him with so much awe. "It's no wonder you're such a great producer."628Please respect copyright.PENANAWznHXU1pue
628Please respect copyright.PENANAa1l4ywZ5bb
He chuckled. "Coming from you, that means a lot."628Please respect copyright.PENANAPBLPaPYxah
628Please respect copyright.PENANAbSBGNnnPil
"The others should hear this." My ear twitched. "I know you're there, Mike."628Please respect copyright.PENANA7zzDacv9gP
628Please respect copyright.PENANAsDLnCzW4KY
"Dang it!" I heard him mutter. Yong-guk and I turned around to see him behind us. "How come my cat feet can't work on you?"628Please respect copyright.PENANARLABR6NQ5F
628Please respect copyright.PENANA7NosFLPEBi
"Because what you've ain't cat feet," I smirked at him. "You've to work a lot harder than that."628Please respect copyright.PENANA4wTPQDEfpP
628Please respect copyright.PENANAD7a7wYwTpt
"Anyway....," he came closer and placed his hands on my shoulder and Yong-guk's, "what is it that some of us have to listen to?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAzULAUHolV7
628Please respect copyright.PENANA5SjJ2NbnhO
"This," I said as I pressed the play button on the laptop, playing out the instrumental for him.628Please respect copyright.PENANA9hViPsljTA
628Please respect copyright.PENANANVcaMBU50t
"Wow," muttered Mike. "But wait..., why does this beat sound familiar?"628Please respect copyright.PENANArc3O0wSToK
628Please respect copyright.PENANAhhESNGCj8P
"It's because it's the beat to our song, silly," I said to him.628Please respect copyright.PENANA58E8IJleAM
628Please respect copyright.PENANA3xGcdsRvur
"Wow! Really!" I saw Mike look at Yong-guk just like I did earlier, with so much awe. "This is what you were working on?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAqBnFhr4k2Y
628Please respect copyright.PENANAbA8Rl0r2Ty
Yong-guk nodded his head. Mike almost screamed like a girl, but he tried not to be so loud. I couldn't help but chuckle. He looked like his five year old self when he got a remote control car for his birthday.628Please respect copyright.PENANA3YNOqFxtrt
628Please respect copyright.PENANAHb78uUqYDv
"You're amazing," he said as he patted Yong-guk on the shoulder. "This song will be awesome."628Please respect copyright.PENANAHhQp9QgFj1
628Please respect copyright.PENANAy18O0j29Gc
"Thanks," he said. "You should be thanking your sister, though."628Please respect copyright.PENANADx9a8Cbimi
628Please respect copyright.PENANAUmr5sSKDHh
"Huh?" Mike and I looked pluzzled.628Please respect copyright.PENANASQmdDZrpfd
628Please respect copyright.PENANATF0jY2gIzQ
"Remember what I said," he said as he looked at me. "The way you played with the guitar inspired me to come up with this."628Please respect copyright.PENANA4x9Z68iR5U
628Please respect copyright.PENANAsYYDblmUmE
"Oh...," I forgot he said that. Now it's my turn to blush, and Yong-guk smiled.628Please respect copyright.PENANAfmFdMONyCm
628Please respect copyright.PENANAG2tZGJ2gf3
"Ya, my sister is a genius," said Mike. "May I join you?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAt4T2p8PjHL
628Please respect copyright.PENANABmHOo5zxHt
"Sure," said Yong-guk. "With you two here, I bet we can work on it together."628Please respect copyright.PENANAMHH1Jdf7A0
628Please respect copyright.PENANAMtm7eczK1I
"And probably come up with lyrics for the song," I said when it dawned on me. "That's why you wanted me to come and join you here by the console."628Please respect copyright.PENANAgU6BoKi5eV
628Please respect copyright.PENANAspSVQsfXNY
"I see you've got what I intended to do." Yong-guk turned to look at me with a smile. Mike sat on his other side. "I thought working on the instrumental will give you some idea on lyrics for the song."628Please respect copyright.PENANAf17PuyPTmo
628Please respect copyright.PENANApzfgUIO9NU
"We'll see," said Mike as he rubbed his hands together and looking at the console before him like a hot, tasty meal he couldn't wait to put in his mouth.628Please respect copyright.PENANAYaWHIYPtEa
628Please respect copyright.PENANA0N8DTPJQRS
"Alright, let's start," said Yong-guk.628Please respect copyright.PENANAUlWvUFKuVy
628Please respect copyright.PENANAOOHlnfQuv7
The three of us worked on the beats maker software on the laptop. With Mike's creativity and Yong-guk's producer skills, working on the instrumental was smooth and simple. We had no idea how long we had been working on it, but we had fun and joked around whenever we could.628Please respect copyright.PENANA3yqJreMQUc
628Please respect copyright.PENANAqwcaq7tt0r
"Hey, what's going on here?" Himchan asked as he came to join us.628Please respect copyright.PENANAQcyAWIbF2T
628Please respect copyright.PENANA6T0ixH1M60
"We're working on an instrumental," Mike answered.628Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0em7MVclX
628Please respect copyright.PENANAP7ykE9KCSr
"Which one?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAJiIZCO2nF8
628Please respect copyright.PENANAilSRYvBQlu
"For our song," I answered. "You should hear it, it's really good."628Please respect copyright.PENANAtFNgz51gVo
628Please respect copyright.PENANAucTE27N20q
"Oh, I thought you had run out of ideas for the lyrics."628Please respect copyright.PENANA6pjT1fdX8R
628Please respect copyright.PENANA3gThvEMk9R
"Well, I did. Maybe if I continue working on the instrumental, I might come up with them."628Please respect copyright.PENANA3eowTWCSAZ
628Please respect copyright.PENANA3Zbp1gKC9X
"How far have you gone doing so?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAJY2dy7q1Yq
628Please respect copyright.PENANAhBj3PjjVhz
"Not too far," Yong-guk answered. "We've only tried to work on the first part and heading to the chorus. But even that needs a lot of work."628Please respect copyright.PENANAxDXIHRF9Il
628Please respect copyright.PENANAqbdUrrsGGe
"I agree," said Mike.628Please respect copyright.PENANAlQrSlt5DQK
628Please respect copyright.PENANApmvyps3hpF
"And you're going to use this instrumental for your album?" Himchan asked.628Please respect copyright.PENANAdjDAWexsfk
628Please respect copyright.PENANA4TQ0HWGBYB
"Of course we're," I answered, looking back at him. I now understood why he asked and I winced.628Please respect copyright.PENANAoVgQaCMK0c
628Please respect copyright.PENANA4bw4qTen1y
"What is it, Sam?" Mike asked.628Please respect copyright.PENANAzo92bGYn1Q
628Please respect copyright.PENANAVqANgueEZo
"We need to seek permission to use this instrumental." I scratched the back of my head. "Goodness, why didn't I think about this before?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAkDHrQ95ZZy
628Please respect copyright.PENANAhXfofH4oeD
"Oh, ya," Mike turned to look at me quickly. "Why can't you give Collins a call and tell him that we've someone helping us?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAWAF141Jqqo
628Please respect copyright.PENANA5hTYM37oDW
"Collins may agree. But what about Yang Hyun-suk?"628Please respect copyright.PENANA3rbuY7Dhn2
628Please respect copyright.PENANAdJivyDWKpl
Mike and I stared at each other. We both winced like we had done something wrong and we would be in big trouble for it.628Please respect copyright.PENANAf9mohNegYt
628Please respect copyright.PENANA078YOwwHrw
"Gosh, the man is troubling," said Mike as he leaned back in his seat. "He can hunt you in your dreams if you think about him too much."628Please respect copyright.PENANAGjjtrJ979O
628Please respect copyright.PENANAUTkiZsK8kd
"He's really strict," I said. "And he's also hard to impress. If we do play out the instrumental for him, would he really like it?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAPeM4b97dkq
628Please respect copyright.PENANA6AomHsk0YG
"This is your tune and melody, Sam. So, he can't refuse. I mean, the song we did with BigBang was all you too."628Please respect copyright.PENANAJ13TZEXBJY
628Please respect copyright.PENANAo3F4qxvNtD
"It was?" Yong-guk and Himchan asked at the same time.628Please respect copyright.PENANAAl3nzosg3h
628Please respect copyright.PENANARNn26qjNZy
"Never mind that," I told them as I went back to looking at Mike. "I'm worried because Yong-guk is helping us produce this one. Will Yang Hyun-suk agree?"628Please respect copyright.PENANACNAH50CvTN
628Please respect copyright.PENANA2q7iQBG4Te
"As long as he knows you thought of it in the first place, he'll definitely agree." Mike leaned forward so as to look at me.628Please respect copyright.PENANA6ie467Eu59
628Please respect copyright.PENANAMiva8jnIG9
"Does this thing involving me always have to be highlighted?"628Please respect copyright.PENANA3M7OEwEqLo
628Please respect copyright.PENANAqYlEhKWAYY
"Daa, yes! Out of all of us, Yang Hyun-suk approves of you the most. He'll definitely go through with it."628Please respect copyright.PENANAvIT5hToKmW
628Please respect copyright.PENANAOpusvtaE9W
I gave Mike a look. I don't consider myself as Yang Hyun-suk's favourite among The Toxins. I'm just afraid he won't approve.628Please respect copyright.PENANAqSr6w5hwo7
628Please respect copyright.PENANAStsRWsfylB
"Okay, if that's the case, than what of Yong-guk? Will he really help us through till the end?"628Please respect copyright.PENANANkvWzJ09Aw
628Please respect copyright.PENANARIhUAuce8O
"I don't think we've to worry about that. Besides, even if he didn't offer to help, he seemed to do it out of his own free will, you know."628Please respect copyright.PENANAonclZaFbWt
628Please respect copyright.PENANArsa6iG7Wpt
"I'm right here, you guys," said Yong-guk in between Mike and me. "I can clearly hear you."628Please respect copyright.PENANAfIiyKMboCx
628Please respect copyright.PENANAxOxJbt3xDm
Mike and I turned to look at him, then ignored him like he wasn't there. Himchan chuckled.628Please respect copyright.PENANARETdg97mQK
628Please respect copyright.PENANAtQZ34IX4nL
"You're right," I said. "He'll stay till the end. He's such a good friend for helping us out."628Please respect copyright.PENANA2it3TLBLWm
628Please respect copyright.PENANAd43CSohEF6
"I know right," Mike smiled. "He's awesome."628Please respect copyright.PENANAsKMMhRKMxA
628Please respect copyright.PENANAYjK5ZqHVSO
"I think you better focus on giving Collins a call, Sam," said Yong-guk, trying to sound serious, yet falling to do so.628Please respect copyright.PENANAKmIZVis8cM
628Please respect copyright.PENANAhuBbtE0UBU
"Aww," Himchan complained. "Their conversation was just about to get more interesting."628Please respect copyright.PENANACRwJJbfMqi
628Please respect copyright.PENANAMb2c8CrSXz
I laughed. "He's just trying to hide the fact that he's blushing."628Please respect copyright.PENANAyrAhjsMrNN
628Please respect copyright.PENANAKbWwmDHR2Y
"No, I'm not," said Yong-guk as he folded his arms and looked straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.628Please respect copyright.PENANAtRn65WBaAX
628Please respect copyright.PENANA8VByXZVn67
Mike burst out laughing that he leaned back further in his seat. "Stop trying to put up a serious face, Yong-guk," he said. "You look awfully funny."628Please respect copyright.PENANA8uYbN8iIUx
628Please respect copyright.PENANAR2iP5dfgM0
I couldn't help but agree with Mike as I also started laughing. I had to keep in mind that I had a phone call to make. I soon stood up from my seat.628Please respect copyright.PENANA3qK6mL7P9C
628Please respect copyright.PENANAz6vxdVQpih
"I'll be back," I said as I tried to stop laughing. "You better not have that face when I get back, Yong-guk."628Please respect copyright.PENANAuDI4SHn7a1
628Please respect copyright.PENANACqgJSsTMTD
I walked away from the others as I made my way to the door. I needed to be somewhere more private if I am to talk with Collins.628Please respect copyright.PENANAH1JhN5beKL
628Please respect copyright.PENANAnIAhV4xXHt
I stepped out into the hall and looked both ways. There's nobody walking around. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and searched for Collins' number. I pressed the call button and placed the phone to my ear.628Please respect copyright.PENANA0CxiD9Bvsi
628Please respect copyright.PENANA75OCuNDevC
His phone rang, and it kept on ringing. I grew worried that he might not answer. Maybe he's busy. He did say he would be occupied today. I better call him at a later time.628Please respect copyright.PENANAGKtcMVF3g7
628Please respect copyright.PENANAuyAvRKjuJP
Just when I'm about to cut the call, he picked up at the last minute.628Please respect copyright.PENANApZvmd7b5j1
628Please respect copyright.PENANAM4j5qKHxMj
"Hi, Sam," came his voice. "How's song writing going?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAhZqZnGURjl
628Please respect copyright.PENANAhb2WTp3mgz
"Not good, I'm afraid," I said as I scratched the back of my head wondering how to bring up the instrumental thing.628Please respect copyright.PENANA9nRiu0wE52
628Please respect copyright.PENANAElFncAYOQx
"You'll figure it out. You do have extra help, don't you?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAF7WtdiUNjq
628Please respect copyright.PENANAXdt2HEYB2I
"I see Lee told you about BAP."628Please respect copyright.PENANAgYBUqOXAmp
628Please respect copyright.PENANAiy25tBp1fo
"Well, she had to. So what can I do for you?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAFfkZm7fJoe
628Please respect copyright.PENANAz7L3tcUFCS
"Well, we were working on the song and we felt a little stuck. So we had help with coming up with the instrumental for the song."628Please respect copyright.PENANAWzakrRvhqz
628Please respect copyright.PENANA1gXEcbVtVf
"You're already coming up with that?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAichgh42aMe
628Please respect copyright.PENANAJKq8hjJlvs
I scratched the back of my head even more as I started to pace up and down in front of the door. "Well, ya. You see, Yong-guk - the leader of BAP - kind of got inspired to make us the instrumental because of the way I played it with the guitar. So we were wondering if it's okay with you that we use it for the song."628Please respect copyright.PENANA7VBRaCM101
628Please respect copyright.PENANAnrC0uahAGr
There was silence on the other end. I wonder what Collins must be thinking. He's a little unpredictable sometimes and he might not agree with it.628Please respect copyright.PENANAZFeTLxTGta
628Please respect copyright.PENANANOrC4qGHkz
"Well," he started to say, "we would've to listen to it to see if it's actually good. The big problem is whether he should be working on it in the first place."628Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZyI89QZBf
628Please respect copyright.PENANASyhj13cwYZ
I knew it. I had to say something quick to convince him.628Please respect copyright.PENANAook4q7U6XP
628Please respect copyright.PENANAAIPSRILxUx
"I know, but he's really good. And besides, Mike and I are helping out too. You can be rest assured that it will be great."628Please respect copyright.PENANAWXK8RruBBX
628Please respect copyright.PENANA8iRKDClq6r
"I believe you. But you know I'm not the only manager in this project of ours."628Please respect copyright.PENANApbuN3VGxV4
628Please respect copyright.PENANAEOZwnUNr1w
"If you could talk to Yang Hyun-suk for me, I bet he would agree. Yong-guk is a great producer and he's reputation proves that otherwise."628Please respect copyright.PENANA9nVs1pRvjK
628Please respect copyright.PENANAmuDkerCoHX
"I don't have to talk to Yang Hyun-suk. He's right here with me. I put you on loud speaker."628Please respect copyright.PENANAECchjr3MYj
628Please respect copyright.PENANAMKMSjTo1Ew
I swallowed as I stopped pacing and my heart did one huge beat that I felt my chest hurt.628Please respect copyright.PENANAK59mGh0Z43
628Please respect copyright.PENANALLpMa0vK5S
"Oh..., good afternoon, Yang Hyun-suk sarangnim," I said quickly, so as not to seem surprised.628Please respect copyright.PENANAQppoLXnfSj
628Please respect copyright.PENANA8Qvem1VDOo
"Afternoon," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice. I could feel beads of sweet starting to form on my forehead. "I heard everything you had to say."628Please respect copyright.PENANArrCz6TGETo
628Please respect copyright.PENANAPWD9Ovaftl
"And what do you think?"628Please respect copyright.PENANA9ACRoXQCNZ
628Please respect copyright.PENANAyUV4RbBZ6v
"Well..., as much as the idea sounds tempting, I would actually refuse."628Please respect copyright.PENANA9vpU5hshf0
628Please respect copyright.PENANAKoSifXzt28
My heart sank. I told myself it was worth a try anyway.628Please respect copyright.PENANAsFXai41pCP
628Please respect copyright.PENANA19sDOPwFks
"But," he continued, "we're talking about Bang Yong-guk, and he's reputation, like you've said, precedes him. If he does want to help out and you think he's the right producer for the job, then I've no objection to it. You can proceed with making the instrumental."628Please respect copyright.PENANAurg5j5qHs2
628Please respect copyright.PENANAYep7CwOawg
"Really!" I cried out in excitement. I can't believe he actually agreed.628Please respect copyright.PENANAVifgOYPLRB
628Please respect copyright.PENANAVpzsfwHPMZ
"Let's not forget that we're the ones that have the final say. If it's good, then we will proceed."628Please respect copyright.PENANAtxAyeI1Eev
628Please respect copyright.PENANANZX0UQQO17
"Thank you!" I said with so much excitement. I could hear the two managers chuckle to themselves. "I promise you won't be disappointed."628Please respect copyright.PENANAZDpxac2bZZ
628Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ejlnl5AEi
"Make us proud, Sam," said Collins. "I hope you'll be able to come up with lyrics."628Please respect copyright.PENANAHV3Hw7lZQz
628Please respect copyright.PENANA02ri5VL9TJ
"I will. Thank you once again."628Please respect copyright.PENANAFYILOFHZ1e
628Please respect copyright.PENANAn5YLGJXueI
The two managers wished me luck. As soon as the line cut, I punched the air with excitement. We're really doing this. I can't wait to tell the others.628Please respect copyright.PENANAmmmgvKekyb
628Please respect copyright.PENANAV8CNKzhWwo
I turned around and opened the door to the studio. As soon as I went in, I quickly rushed over to the others on the console.628Please respect copyright.PENANATdheBNudBp
628Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZYI1XAFm5
"What's the news?" Mike asked as he looked at me.628Please respect copyright.PENANA6bRpvOkWQL
628Please respect copyright.PENANAeFWjZnP7R1
"I hope it's good," said Himchan.628Please respect copyright.PENANA9wJYo0NmGQ
628Please respect copyright.PENANAuvKSTENSL0
"What news?" asked Daniel who was still seated on the couch. His eyes left the phone as he looked at us who were by the console.628Please respect copyright.PENANAtTy41Xs4mP
628Please respect copyright.PENANAczJmeFkBB5
"They agreed," I answered.628Please respect copyright.PENANAdX04RrmAj4
628Please respect copyright.PENANA0I7LGz5ywk
Himchan and Mike clapped, looking relieved. Yong-guk leaned back in his seat, looking cool and composed, but I could tell that he was just as happy as the three of us.628Please respect copyright.PENANArIZZBsnAF3
628Please respect copyright.PENANA8SlhSeGBEt
"Who agreed to what?" Daniel asked as he stood up from his couch to come over and join us. "I want to know what's going on."628Please respect copyright.PENANAPEccSY4O3j
628Please respect copyright.PENANAH2ywd3SNAy
"Ya, I'm also anxious to know what you're all talking about," said Daehyun.628Please respect copyright.PENANAA8Yh6p2acr
628Please respect copyright.PENANANuhvuhRoXN
"Me too," said Zoey. "What did I miss?"628Please respect copyright.PENANA2Os9vNlh0O
628Please respect copyright.PENANA0F6boDgxgM
"A lot," I answered.628Please respect copyright.PENANASEq74Wf3B0
628Please respect copyright.PENANAk3KlNGT6aW
I told them what was going on and how I somehow managed to talk to the managers to go through with Yong-guk's instrumental.628Please respect copyright.PENANAic0oD5R6kb
628Please respect copyright.PENANAlspH7PZ0Zd
"Wow, that's awesome," said Zelo.628Please respect copyright.PENANAsKRxFbEAHj
628Please respect copyright.PENANARO9au4iHc5
"You see how the managers just love you, Sam?" Mike asked.628Please respect copyright.PENANAN6aTlyyZwa
628Please respect copyright.PENANAdm4NFB0wRw
"No, they don't," I emphasised. "If they don't like the instrumental, we aren't going to use it. So it has to be perfect."628Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ5DxpQxxt
628Please respect copyright.PENANAVOG3MO2Con
"But for them to agree its because they know Yong-guk is an awesome producer," said Himchan. "No doubt it will be lit."628Please respect copyright.PENANAro5fDrGd4X
628Please respect copyright.PENANAq9elLvEuAx
"I agree with Himchan," said Zoey. "And besides, it's more of Sam's original, so they can't say no."628Please respect copyright.PENANAYbZjWypXJV
628Please respect copyright.PENANAXTDOoVBDgM
"Okay, we just need to focus on the instrumental and hopefully come up with the lyrics," I said.628Please respect copyright.PENANALTJixops4w
628Please respect copyright.PENANASlTH5BHmym
"Well, you better work on those fast," said Yong-nam, who was now wide awake, but still laying on the floor. "You don't have much time."628Please respect copyright.PENANAJQP2khYiXi
628Please respect copyright.PENANANxb22H3SRz
"Okay," I said as I rubbed my hands together. "Toxins, get over here by the console, please."628Please respect copyright.PENANAI1PHfVT4Hd
628Please respect copyright.PENANAcSLTgWCbDv
"Okay," said Christine and Zoey as they both stood up from the couch and quickly came over.628Please respect copyright.PENANA1DW7f4ZbpO
628Please respect copyright.PENANAEomkegB7WY
"We will be here to help in anyway we can," said Young-jae.628Please respect copyright.PENANAk2eYRAKLOF
628Please respect copyright.PENANAkufUxPOoIP
"Thanks, guys," I said with a smile. I went over to sit back on my chair next to Yong-guk.628Please respect copyright.PENANAAcPvSZQ8I3
628Please respect copyright.PENANADJOinDrNNf
"Okay," said Yong-guk. "Let's continue where we ended, shall we?"
