"Okay, so here are the lyrics for the song," I said after writing them down.307Please respect copyright.PENANAiQdJYabnae
307Please respect copyright.PENANA4yigRpdjls
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAXstwtrBrL5
307Please respect copyright.PENANAs8YJcsMrIE
"Just admit it," said Zoey, "the song is awesome."307Please respect copyright.PENANAe8auXBab6U
307Please respect copyright.PENANArbzXcTWYoi
"Zoey." Christine gave her a look that told her to keep quiet. "Let the others take it in first."307Please respect copyright.PENANARWJytGYBK5
307Please respect copyright.PENANAhc3asZQl7G
"Zoey's right," said Daehyun. "The lyrics are great."307Please respect copyright.PENANAf3v4pYdqoJ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAbPa7jWdkEQ
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAdoaAJ6kJpf
307Please respect copyright.PENANAlJLEPlNoMi
"You should listen to the tune," said Mike. "You'll love it."307Please respect copyright.PENANAG49iPk0j90
307Please respect copyright.PENANAWpMFmbXwJa
"I bet that's why you went searching for the guitar," said Jongup as he looked at me.307Please respect copyright.PENANADJ6vnylJtc
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfe11Pp1vyS
"Play the guitar, Sam," Himchan insisted. "We're all dying to hear it. I bet Yong-guk can't wait any longer."307Please respect copyright.PENANA0qNIDujVWL
307Please respect copyright.PENANAM13YCT9cII
"Huh?" Yong-guk looked at Himchan beside him, looking confused. "No, I'm not."307Please respect copyright.PENANAiuNv7Imo2k
307Please respect copyright.PENANAIRw5hdy6kF
"Of course you are," said Yong-nam as he gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "Don't forget, I'm your twin."307Please respect copyright.PENANAr59W9UfEjz
307Please respect copyright.PENANAcb4DySUQsV
"Okay," I said as I took the guitar that had been laying on the table the whole time. "Let me play it, then."307Please respect copyright.PENANASd1QzNNOWJ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAnp0vNaifwl
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAPnOnOu2MHY
307Please respect copyright.PENANAkvJMtQagVK
"Wow," said Young-jae, looking at me like he's just seen something's dazzled him. "The song's going to sound awesome."307Please respect copyright.PENANASDWEWPzkgg
307Please respect copyright.PENANApt6v4zQeMk
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANABglnm16rVs
307Please respect copyright.PENANAj7G2XDHpyK
"Alright," said Yong-guk, looking to see what I was writing on the paper. "Whatever it is, I bet we can handle it."307Please respect copyright.PENANABecUmAxavc
307Please respect copyright.PENANAN6pbXZtIFF
"Can't wait to see you try," said Christine. "But then again, if it's you two l'm not worried."307Please respect copyright.PENANAyU6ZsVdfK6
307Please respect copyright.PENANAgf7DQtzQm3
"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.307Please respect copyright.PENANA282OL2ebOG
307Please respect copyright.PENANA4sKA0MEgeO
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAxO6moPxUOq
307Please respect copyright.PENANA0tnNzWf1Kr
"Come on, Jongup," Zelo complained. "You're distracting Sam. We all want to hear what she has written."307Please respect copyright.PENANA98BCeLV3HZ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAk3rD9Y6Tg9
"I don't think that I'm distracting her," said Jongup as he looked at Zelo. "Right, Sam?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAuwkEcNrQN0
307Please respect copyright.PENANAG4TxXRFPe2
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAHSPkpP8EDp
307Please respect copyright.PENANAWxhhJwvfPf
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAZYvZPadScL
307Please respect copyright.PENANAsnbNK0bsmC
"What's wrong, Sam?" he asked.307Please respect copyright.PENANAYoeA4yM7K2
307Please respect copyright.PENANAhOTkgeItem
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANADS5h15baXK
307Please respect copyright.PENANATirY6IMszb
"Goodness, Jongup," said Mike, "you almost kissed my sister."307Please respect copyright.PENANAZwCOBsPqxB
307Please respect copyright.PENANAt0ZnQCZDLF
And it just had to be Mike. Goodness, me!307Please respect copyright.PENANA6qjo5m66qY
307Please respect copyright.PENANA7qSu1kSFCU
"Huh?" Jongup looked surprised. "I did?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8fcawRrEW
307Please respect copyright.PENANAXYHj2XtNb3
"And you were this close," said Zoey indicating a tiny space with her index finger and thumb.307Please respect copyright.PENANA2TfY5oP4X7
307Please respect copyright.PENANAF31UddeiQp
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAmAIB1YKEpR
307Please respect copyright.PENANAz7SxSsvLBZ
"You see, I told you so," said Zelo.307Please respect copyright.PENANA8gAnDDdz5x
307Please respect copyright.PENANAREVmyU3i1V
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAReBiTxXCGe
307Please respect copyright.PENANAEbjL39bNd3
Yong-nam cleared his throat. "Not at all," he answered. "You're actually pretty light."307Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7l4TDtMse
307Please respect copyright.PENANAFw6NXAvFd8
I nervously laughed, not sure whether he meant it or not.307Please respect copyright.PENANAPXNbxkzFs8
307Please respect copyright.PENANAK2gAdvNA9j
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAlZOgwNEQOT
307Please respect copyright.PENANAsigRY753nz
"You're such a fantasist, Zoey," said Daniel as he shook his head.307Please respect copyright.PENANArK9T9ekYvu
307Please respect copyright.PENANA5REF8J1PPa
"Don't mind her," I said. "Can we forget the kissing incident and focus on the song, please?"307Please respect copyright.PENANA2VQ2NQsH2Y
307Please respect copyright.PENANARytoRPzcGd
"Sure," said Mike. "That's if we can reset Zoey's brain or else she won't stop talking about it."307Please respect copyright.PENANA3YYiGTFwtm
307Please respect copyright.PENANA4hNTdbaiZs
"Are you saying that I'm kookoo?" Zoey asked, looking at Mike.307Please respect copyright.PENANADmwWeTRNg7
307Please respect copyright.PENANApx6Sos0gYD
"You can argue later, you two," I said, giving them a look. "Let's try and focus."307Please respect copyright.PENANAkxjmTdX2qr
307Please respect copyright.PENANAkAAhqVbW54
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAJQWDWUDFX4
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6Lai8Z52kx
"Is it just me or something's just off?" Young-jae asked.307Please respect copyright.PENANA5ntSNjBnbX
307Please respect copyright.PENANAFAPfojJ2SP
"I think I feel what you mean," said Zoey as she scratched her head.307Please respect copyright.PENANAx94RxAeGDP
307Please respect copyright.PENANAtMqQzfJ5Jx
"Huh? What's Zoey saying?" Himchan asked.307Please respect copyright.PENANAkidv5TY3Wv
307Please respect copyright.PENANACAuk4HyNMh
"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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAs1lgXIsoLE
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ow0ENDL3S
"I feel we aren't working like we did the first time," said Christine.307Please respect copyright.PENANAT6HkLUyagU
307Please respect copyright.PENANAbGufhzzYiz
"Ya, that's what I meant," said Zoey.307Please respect copyright.PENANAW6RDdLFOM3
307Please respect copyright.PENANAYA3x4PpPtA
"We just aren't coming up with the right lyrics," said Yong-guk, "that's all."307Please respect copyright.PENANADVi8LGtFYU
307Please respect copyright.PENANAL81ECq4WHz
"Why is that?" Himchan asked.307Please respect copyright.PENANA9LsCurIl6g
307Please respect copyright.PENANAF5Xzp0mMIG
"Who knows," said Daniel. "What do you think, Sam?"307Please respect copyright.PENANA2Fmswqjype
307Please respect copyright.PENANAWLymBJcEJN
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAse8CSqytAJ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAF0i6CDjen4
"You look like you're about to cry, Sam," said Jongup.307Please respect copyright.PENANATJ1DNWFfCW
307Please respect copyright.PENANAPuQ00O8RvU
"Don't mind me," I said. "I'm frustrated that we're going nowhere."307Please respect copyright.PENANA8SFrZCu5Ht
307Please respect copyright.PENANAJGaTuc7vMa
"Maybe we're all just tired," said Zelo.307Please respect copyright.PENANAvvSLVP6qpH
307Please respect copyright.PENANAaWYH4Nz4uI
"I felt we rested enough," said Daehyun.307Please respect copyright.PENANAnkjaF6Y0Db
307Please respect copyright.PENANAnqEA4MwO03
"Or maybe we've been in the same place for too long," I suggested. "Sometimes the environment contributes greatly."307Please respect copyright.PENANAl9szd0xk6o
307Please respect copyright.PENANAkfxi4LBU0C
"Maybe," said Yong-guk.307Please respect copyright.PENANAHQnuYSCZMu
307Please respect copyright.PENANAGFYlyMYzkZ
"What do you think, Yong-nam?" Christine asked as she turned to look at him.307Please respect copyright.PENANAi4eeQzWMmW
307Please respect copyright.PENANANXOmu1l9re
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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAsmryaX0EZY
307Please respect copyright.PENANAdFxIjEOa2m
"Tomorrow?" Daniel looked shocked at the idea. "Won't that be a little too late for us?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAWAZ85ONkBL
307Please respect copyright.PENANA0kL2KwxQ2O
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAU2Tjb2d2w0
307Please respect copyright.PENANA8zQQeayAfc
"Not forgetting that we should at least have something to present to Yang Hyun-suk," said Zoey.307Please respect copyright.PENANAoiWfwVDmdl
307Please respect copyright.PENANAQG1fEQC95k
"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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAoF0YSjtXw0
307Please respect copyright.PENANApDP9QVu0X9
"Now I wish we never had to make an album," said Zoey as she leaned back on the chair and sighed.307Please respect copyright.PENANAD5Fitt80x7
307Please respect copyright.PENANAFjK3SezfLC
"Wow, you guys are working on an album?" Jongup asked.307Please respect copyright.PENANARvvj12FXU8
307Please respect copyright.PENANA7euJb0Wb20
"Yep," I answered as I lifted my face up from my hands. "Our managers are ambitious."307Please respect copyright.PENANAV5aidZSPRb
307Please respect copyright.PENANAng2zYkPZsF
"At least we don't have to worry about the other songs," said Zoey.307Please respect copyright.PENANARaCeCyXJ1E
307Please respect copyright.PENANAJFYHD4ou4h
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANA4hZyyCpRhr
307Please respect copyright.PENANAYtltqVniyO
"I think we should take a little break," said Yong-nam.307Please respect copyright.PENANAqmhhHXTaxf
307Please respect copyright.PENANAva1qnQzz1s
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?307Please respect copyright.PENANAMeg538dFqD
307Please respect copyright.PENANALC56X884QQ
"You're scaring me, Sam," I heard Yong-guk say.307Please respect copyright.PENANAbm0OtIeCaY
307Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZrYtkZok9
"Oh, don't mind her," said Zoey. "She started this and finding a way to finish it is frustrating."307Please respect copyright.PENANA8rvI0GV6UF
307Please respect copyright.PENANAuwtTomATzt
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAGNCHLLR7nE
307Please respect copyright.PENANAKQyFzlR02j
"Wait..., does this mean we won't have the reward Lee was talking about?" I heard Daniel ask.307Please respect copyright.PENANAf2FtRLHzUu
307Please respect copyright.PENANAPAjNe9uvar
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAqXyMtqjsnf
307Please respect copyright.PENANAk1aYzirzHp
"Don't worry about that, Daniel," I said. "Lee will give us that reward."307Please respect copyright.PENANAVQapRDcHmb
307Please respect copyright.PENANAmE1VIF2qcL
"For someone who seems tired, you sound pretty confident," said Himchan.307Please respect copyright.PENANALMAyKw0P2e
307Please respect copyright.PENANABTtn6NgINE
"I just know." I smiled at him as I shrugged my shoulders.307Please respect copyright.PENANAIfShvXXeGt
307Please respect copyright.PENANAGnfyBw7ams
"Do you've any idea what it could be?" Daniel asked.307Please respect copyright.PENANAHyFIurkKPq
307Please respect copyright.PENANAxrijp9MI4B
I shook my head. It's best it turns out as a surprise.307Please respect copyright.PENANAlBjqecctqk
307Please respect copyright.PENANASsJsgXfDwn
"So, what are we going to do now?" Zelo asked. "Just sit and do nothing?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAfv8dc31wDK
307Please respect copyright.PENANAkagEz9bqb8
"We can do something fun to pass the time," Christine suggested.307Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZCiUwQAIT
307Please respect copyright.PENANAUmoNic82p9
"Not me," I went back to lying down on the floor.307Please respect copyright.PENANAnghyP3wj3E
307Please respect copyright.PENANAnmvbzzfbjQ
No one said a word. I could feel a few eyes on me, while others, I'm guessing, gave each other looks.307Please respect copyright.PENANANWHCFxJmuI
307Please respect copyright.PENANAJS3cezgV2d
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "You're such a party pooper."307Please respect copyright.PENANAqBzDmnjeXE
307Please respect copyright.PENANAo27SDfRlCv
"Haven't heard you call me that in a while," I said as I smiled at the ceiling.307Please respect copyright.PENANAGG2MRhmKbk
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfwn4A29o2L
"Get up, will you? This is no time to be lying down."307Please respect copyright.PENANAeDWpx7wm37
307Please respect copyright.PENANA71LGoJh7WF
"There's nothing wrong with lying down to rest, is there?"307Please respect copyright.PENANADBWmVIxYag
307Please respect copyright.PENANAeKfahAY7Vs
"Goodness, me." Zoey sounded frustrated. She couldn't argue over that and she knew it.307Please respect copyright.PENANA7nYfLNWnCv
307Please respect copyright.PENANANAMXmwiWVz
"Maybe we should call Lee to pick us up," Mike suggested.307Please respect copyright.PENANA0bhQxSb3ia
307Please respect copyright.PENANAFeebnDw7qs
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAi9upoxrBxW
307Please respect copyright.PENANAH5lckkhsjy
I heard Zelo and Daehyun chuckle while I heard Christine and Zoey mutter out in frustration.307Please respect copyright.PENANAMznPMFjvqa
307Please respect copyright.PENANAi2BQswBsyR
"Looks like you're stuck here with us until Lee comes to pick you up," I heard Yong-guk say.307Please respect copyright.PENANAdBuqgRODKF
307Please respect copyright.PENANAKYUKVfQrDL
"But we can't sit here doing nothing," said Daniel. "Like Christine said, we better find something to do."307Please respect copyright.PENANATMoCdGSjE9
307Please respect copyright.PENANAOSOPZUaRVc
"You should be resting," I suggested, my eyes still closed.307Please respect copyright.PENANAOeaWx8BMEe
307Please respect copyright.PENANAEWp357psMA
"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.307Please respect copyright.PENANApJwqwf5wRH
307Please respect copyright.PENANAxGB8VejsMc
I smiled. "Suit yourself."307Please respect copyright.PENANADQNaGdDJaU
307Please respect copyright.PENANAsyWRZJ1NHy
"No one wants to do karaoke in the recording booth?" Jongup suggested.307Please respect copyright.PENANAVDKqn5jtMm
307Please respect copyright.PENANAYYGt2uRLio
"I think we've done enough singing for one day," said Daehyun.307Please respect copyright.PENANA8Esjc4uXc8
307Please respect copyright.PENANACCOQpU2Zoz
"I agree," said Zoey.307Please respect copyright.PENANAtNkzwAqet5
307Please respect copyright.PENANAtHYh926VoM
"If there's clearly nothing to do, then I think we should be resting like Sam's doing right now," said Yong-guk.307Please respect copyright.PENANAvMmCwjgAwf
307Please respect copyright.PENANAXKwcONAwGl
"I like your thinking," I said with my eyes closed. I raised my hand to give him a thumbs up.307Please respect copyright.PENANAgekpmnvbD6
307Please respect copyright.PENANARiSVSZsfKK
"You songwriters all think the same," I heard Christine mutter.307Please respect copyright.PENANAnIyaKQ4F3T
307Please respect copyright.PENANAhbFnrQzUbT
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAFYRBOdNtMB
307Please respect copyright.PENANAjXlGpna609
"Huh? Not you too, Mike," said Zoey, sounding surprised.307Please respect copyright.PENANAKFNXOO913G
307Please respect copyright.PENANAKVp0DEyuO8
"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?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAex6sCOWfXE
307Please respect copyright.PENANAjT0blJIH1p
"I shouldn't be surprised coming from you."307Please respect copyright.PENANAM14eIRFmTO
307Please respect copyright.PENANAk2GCoD0ZUi
"Ya, ya, ya, Zoey. I'm the bad guy here. Doesn't matter now, does it?"307Please respect copyright.PENANA7g5BWnsE73
307Please respect copyright.PENANAsy8nFua7Ni
"Well, if there's nothing for you guys to do at the moment, then I'm going to work on something," said Yong-guk.307Please respect copyright.PENANAzfVekIStMJ
307Please respect copyright.PENANA4PRHIaQ4Ba
"And what could that be?" Young-jae asked.307Please respect copyright.PENANAHwtajdpof9
307Please respect copyright.PENANAjSGjAG50zV
"Our song, of course."307Please respect copyright.PENANAOvdU4XZ3bD
307Please respect copyright.PENANAt8CwZToUU3
"You go ahead and do that," I said.307Please respect copyright.PENANARM7NUSoI2O
307Please respect copyright.PENANABJK9rzj45i
There came an awkward pause and I opened one eye to look at him.307Please respect copyright.PENANAD374YmZahx
307Please respect copyright.PENANAyawM8z7Kp2
"You look surprised, Yong-guk," said Yong-nam. He took the words right out of my mouth.307Please respect copyright.PENANAgqtwax0sZc
307Please respect copyright.PENANATSRGXSc80r
"I thought that would get Sam up from the floor since she seems to really like helping out," said Yong-guk.307Please respect copyright.PENANATpEdfiWWia
307Please respect copyright.PENANAqwH7Xae5r5
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANA3e5fozcFvQ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAstHJYZdHTg
"Okay, then," said Yong-guk. "And you, Mike?"307Please respect copyright.PENANApGlJ4GR2QI
307Please respect copyright.PENANAEcHIFnyHir
"I'll pass too," said Mike.307Please respect copyright.PENANA81nfFohWAe
307Please respect copyright.PENANAqqTs1xiSmi
"Okay. I'll be by the console. Any of you guys want to join me?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAocAmxLSKLz
307Please respect copyright.PENANAbhKUbu8Zcj
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZzSsacyI7
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6VLHoZQL08
"I'm going to relax over here too," said Young-jae.307Please respect copyright.PENANA633PsMlXbl
307Please respect copyright.PENANApuavXOZkzt
"What's up with everyone?" Yong-guk asked, sounding surprised.307Please respect copyright.PENANAyBUUsLGIy2
307Please respect copyright.PENANAbC8P3gkBGm
"Like Yong-nam said, we're tired," I said as I sat up. "The best thing to do right now is relax."307Please respect copyright.PENANAT2ZkIJA9VO
307Please respect copyright.PENANAj9dw9O0rI5
"Aren't you worried about not making progress on your song?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAO23od5n4qn
307Please respect copyright.PENANAeAjXdeMU6H
"I was about to ask the same question," said Zoey with a sulky look on her face. 307Please respect copyright.PENANAlLznrNFRm8
307Please respect copyright.PENANAps3mccNrN6
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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAue6xnUZZo0
307Please respect copyright.PENANAjKb1E8cGm0
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAVeZjPLHXe9
307Please respect copyright.PENANAXLGKtjJS6Q
"You of all people shouldn't even be sleeping," said Yong-guk.307Please respect copyright.PENANAR7UFXulVDt
307Please respect copyright.PENANARKGhF03wJp
I laughed. As much as I wanted to hear these two brothers argue, it ended there. I went back to sleeping on the floor.307Please respect copyright.PENANAgFCq1JzNEo
307Please respect copyright.PENANA4X8ZnwwX5S
"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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAZysupzyJOM
307Please respect copyright.PENANAmSm2XKUCtn
"Looks like the majority wins," said Himchan as he chuckled.307Please respect copyright.PENANAy2vgXJRp33
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfCJrLXuSU2
Zoey mourned in frustration. Even I could tell she's tired. She had no choice but to give in.307Please respect copyright.PENANAcXF7ilqzeE
307Please respect copyright.PENANAWuMt7AwDgD
"Oh, man!" Daniel muttered out loud.307Please respect copyright.PENANA6Kd8XMkp2h
307Please respect copyright.PENANAclgK6Wgajn
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAjemD1eMc4k
307Please respect copyright.PENANAAH5hVNlL4r
"Sorry, guys," he said. He quickly looked up from his phone when he noticed people's eyes on him. "Playing a game over here."307Please respect copyright.PENANAMjTvrEQ9wE
307Please respect copyright.PENANAXdMwNokaZu
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANA9BjUgLUIP2
307Please respect copyright.PENANAPpkLsOu5n8
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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAKL7369L8BK
307Please respect copyright.PENANAnShA3I58Dg
"I think I'll have a little shut-eye," said Christine.307Please respect copyright.PENANAbkXqLmcAA3
307Please respect copyright.PENANAHvU7S8s4Jk
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAgIahfwJ25z
307Please respect copyright.PENANAav4wXhIIqi
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAgi4BuJTIpI
307Please respect copyright.PENANAr39GCoSZjY
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAfqQQOf9JMH
307Please respect copyright.PENANAWSTawWKlBh
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAyx302yqN5x
307Please respect copyright.PENANAB6VSxy61vW
"Hey, Sam?" I heard Jongup call me. "Are you asleep?"307Please respect copyright.PENANA24KKhSUQKa
307Please respect copyright.PENANAXAOzvc6dBo
"No," I answered. I drew my eyes open and looked at him. "What is it?"307Please respect copyright.PENANA0P7yEzOF3k
307Please respect copyright.PENANAA7XsDjUk6C
"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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAmb7ESDheKc
307Please respect copyright.PENANAOvVEu4kXTD
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANABvj1PL3WSc
307Please respect copyright.PENANALYnRfFe15v
"I know," said Jongup. "You should see this previous one. It will knock your socks off."307Please respect copyright.PENANAnevww3bWh8
307Please respect copyright.PENANAj8uf0fgWyF
I joined Jongup in watching more cat videos. We soon moved on to watch people participate in various dance challenges.307Please respect copyright.PENANA4RQvtnFb9Z
307Please respect copyright.PENANA2qNVnTsnGL
"We should've a dance challenge one day," I said to Jongup as we watched.307Please respect copyright.PENANA9XrMEYNYE4
307Please respect copyright.PENANAOQD43mMXYp
"Huh?" he turned to look at me. "We should've a dance challenge?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAh0ZTWEVPK6
307Please respect copyright.PENANAqI6ekZARj5
"Ya. I mean The Toxins vs BAP."307Please respect copyright.PENANAr5qpesj988
307Please respect copyright.PENANAg8UnVeFvk6
"Oh..., like the one you had with Monsta X?"307Please respect copyright.PENANA5Oj1lr5IaW
307Please respect copyright.PENANAURbo4GiJkR
"Yes, like that one. You watched it?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAsqbydbPVOS
307Please respect copyright.PENANAcMyN0E0XCa
"I think a lot of us did. People really liked it."307Please respect copyright.PENANA2QtQphEMvk
307Please respect copyright.PENANAc12tzuYB1H
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAMMz5tiGWYF
307Please respect copyright.PENANAftE0vZafw8
"Oh, you've an album to work on."307Please respect copyright.PENANAruovUawDY1
307Please respect copyright.PENANA4u2qYnjI5O
I stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Just thinking about it drains me." I went back to looking at his phone.307Please respect copyright.PENANA0yMvDjq2uv
307Please respect copyright.PENANATenQiRThDg
"Did I hear someone talk about having a dance challenge with BAP?" Zoey asked.307Please respect copyright.PENANARqaFZ0qtb0
307Please respect copyright.PENANAzG3HHFU1Zn
I raised my head a little and saw Zoey still on her phone.307Please respect copyright.PENANAsiWLqoGqAk
307Please respect copyright.PENANAb4Wx35LNV2
"Yes, I said that," I said as I dropped my head and stared at Jongup's phone.307Please respect copyright.PENANAxsgrN8eIEn
307Please respect copyright.PENANAav2jtnQyLr
"Why not do so now?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAnGp0DD9QxV
307Please respect copyright.PENANAoEC5Yue6xk
"No!" Christine, Mike and I said out loud at the same time.307Please respect copyright.PENANAX8F8oSNYZA
307Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ip9rxZVUS
"Eish, guys. It's why I asked. You don't have to eat me alive."307Please respect copyright.PENANAFPrIIsrcs5
307Please respect copyright.PENANAhdHj1RNkAO
Himchan and the other BAP members around the table started to chuckle.307Please respect copyright.PENANAXlfpryOD8p
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6ugS6p4UYg
"You Toxins really are something," said Himchan. "You do know that the majority of you opposed, right?"307Please respect copyright.PENANANx2F4QU3Hl
307Please respect copyright.PENANAo3PC1tmKD5
"Except Daniel," said Zelo.307Please respect copyright.PENANAFjq5c9DnV9
307Please respect copyright.PENANABqCqMYKTEn
"Oh, I refuse too," said Daniel, still on his phone.307Please respect copyright.PENANAhlMxsQDBpv
307Please respect copyright.PENANAarGf5kfhde
Zoey tsked. "You guys are no fun."307Please respect copyright.PENANAf14JNnnXlK
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3U7CG5kIrO
"Use logic, Zoey," said Christine. "We're all tired and don't have the energy for a dance challenge."307Please respect copyright.PENANA7ChVZEUxJm
307Please respect copyright.PENANASenZuVZwzF
"I know that. I thought maybe someone's in the mood for it."307Please respect copyright.PENANAARa7ARJJ1x
307Please respect copyright.PENANAL3xRr33MPR
"No one is in the mood for it," said Mike.307Please respect copyright.PENANAlhIFzthDyT
307Please respect copyright.PENANAP1YUd8ljkL
"And what if the BAP members were?"307Please respect copyright.PENANA7hv7FDhV6t
307Please respect copyright.PENANAZCvoS4dtR2
I heard Daehyun nervously chuckle. "To be honest, Zoey," he said, "I'm definitely not in the mood."307Please respect copyright.PENANAsRwyyvDjsn
307Please respect copyright.PENANA1EHLCPk1qz
"Me too," said Young-jae.307Please respect copyright.PENANA5FygLOwAoV
307Please respect copyright.PENANAwPxvbokVLw
"Me three," said Zelo.307Please respect copyright.PENANAwGjLLzX2HZ
307Please respect copyright.PENANANAI9lpWYSK
"Guess I don't have to ask you, Himchan," said Zoey, sounding unimpressed.307Please respect copyright.PENANAtha36qzVVx
307Please respect copyright.PENANA5WnSjr6ljt
Himchan, just like Daehyun, nervously chuckled too.307Please respect copyright.PENANAjlMpXxlsHb
307Please respect copyright.PENANAhaDDuMWSAk
"You can ask Yong-guk," Zelo suggested.307Please respect copyright.PENANADME1gBpfdK
307Please respect copyright.PENANAVwtNLnoW4D
"Nah. He's already busy and I don't like to be a bother."307Please respect copyright.PENANAhseChko5SX
307Please respect copyright.PENANAQsc3LcNTA7
"Really?" Mike asked. Uh-oh. I smell an argument brewing. "You bother a lot of us everyday."307Please respect copyright.PENANAbYIuHeQQG1
307Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2pHqoSPDc
"What did you say!?"307Please respect copyright.PENANA1UsPVdKV6G
307Please respect copyright.PENANAnK2mMsNfZr
"Quiet down, Zoey," said Christine. "You're disturbing Yong-nam. He's probably asleep."307Please respect copyright.PENANAFOjYKoaTPD
307Please respect copyright.PENANAbORI82rVRa
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAQRtTzOKxvp
307Please respect copyright.PENANAG7sVNR8Nbb
"I bet he isn't," said Zoey. "Is he, Sam?"307Please respect copyright.PENANARnQtef9osH
307Please respect copyright.PENANA74yZSDruu9
"Huh?" I got a little caught off guard as I didn't answer Zoey's question.307Please respect copyright.PENANAf6WEEItYuK
307Please respect copyright.PENANAcK9sBohWPl
"Is he awake?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAMHTaAXd17y
307Please respect copyright.PENANA4How7jy0vg
"Not sure," I answered. "He would've said something if he was."307Please respect copyright.PENANAYnTOuJ3mV3
307Please respect copyright.PENANAyqsbrCAMBC
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAJT9yaRrqBL
307Please respect copyright.PENANANuWTrnyimE
"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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAD3IyLE7JQB
307Please respect copyright.PENANAcmu7RVF6UD
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "It's what you said, Mike. How am I a bother to you?"307Please respect copyright.PENANA4OYUsX80XO
307Please respect copyright.PENANAF1vlEcCMgj
"You're being a bother right now. I'm trying to rest and you're disturbing me."307Please respect copyright.PENANAzhSthMLqxY
307Please respect copyright.PENANApDLzHVyCOQ
Zoey hissed that I thought a snake had magically appeared in the room. If she was one, no doubt she would attack Mike first.307Please respect copyright.PENANAtVGSh57i8s
307Please respect copyright.PENANA0FFlsIsHyX
"Enough," said Christine. "No one wants to see or hear you two fight."307Please respect copyright.PENANAqJdKl1ex2d
307Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5dg3rLGIk
"Mike started it," said Zoey.307Please respect copyright.PENANAhz2BAbTlLY
307Please respect copyright.PENANA26oyt2WqNv
"You amplified it," said Mike. "You always do."307Please respect copyright.PENANAvFwyhQ5TMa
307Please respect copyright.PENANAH88gpShw6l
"For once I agree with Mike," I said. "Let it go, Zoey."307Please respect copyright.PENANA7MmlkupGy2
307Please respect copyright.PENANACS7PQ42EoX
"You guys are unbelievable," said Zoey.307Please respect copyright.PENANA32fOeU74ZT
307Please respect copyright.PENANApu96NoDr0F
"You're unbelievable," said Himchan as he chuckled. "You really are a drama queen. No offense."307Please respect copyright.PENANA0IxwnPhXDN
307Please respect copyright.PENANAIxzsXAJhjo
"None taken. These guys call me that all the time."307Please respect copyright.PENANARXmF6SFL2t
307Please respect copyright.PENANAsEqOFfxdM4
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAJOP1ASsyEf
307Please respect copyright.PENANAovpe5gCppH
I stretched out my arms and stood up, stretching my whole body.307Please respect copyright.PENANAXozlkEQOHt
307Please respect copyright.PENANAKDqGoFwKFx
"I've had enough of watching Instagram videos," I told Jongup.307Please respect copyright.PENANACbTnbvUOeb
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6TLlEfpZra
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAO0sH6n8ogp
307Please respect copyright.PENANAjRJgf70Vlj
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAzHzhrIEnJm
307Please respect copyright.PENANASg26AlGsD8
"Hey, there," I said to him when I got behind him. I bent over to look at him from the side of his face.307Please respect copyright.PENANAEMFqHmzs9z
307Please respect copyright.PENANAaiipd55rDg
"Oh, Sam," he looked up at me, surprised. "I didn't hear you coming."307Please respect copyright.PENANAuCpdTxXuyA
307Please respect copyright.PENANAoIMRmZK0b4
"I've cat feet," I said as I took the empty seat next to him.307Please respect copyright.PENANACQAz4eJGn3
307Please respect copyright.PENANAvpNx3gHOKE
"Cat feet?"307Please respect copyright.PENANA2t8Jpnt2yE
307Please respect copyright.PENANAf9H0J9u5BF
"I'm told there are times when people don't hear me coming so they say I've cat feet. I sometimes scare them."307Please respect copyright.PENANAwFLUK8l7yN
307Please respect copyright.PENANApxTPS5FMAH
"Oh, I see."307Please respect copyright.PENANAWgEqnyt6Ic
307Please respect copyright.PENANAjYBFYwRPlG
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAvaGC5bEeze
307Please respect copyright.PENANAhw8qblh4L8
"I'll keep that in mind," said Yong-guk as he turned to smile at her.307Please respect copyright.PENANA9rj883fdlD
307Please respect copyright.PENANANLcz8P9BSV
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANA0G1Jupt74z
307Please respect copyright.PENANAHL8TuXiOfR
"I'm not working on our song," said Yong-guk as he went to work on the laptop.307Please respect copyright.PENANAoqZ2ztsoup
307Please respect copyright.PENANAelTW6VssKw
"Then, what are you working on?" I raised my eyebrow at him.307Please respect copyright.PENANA6R4D7fzVlp
307Please respect copyright.PENANAbjxKDVtrPm
"On your song," he answered.307Please respect copyright.PENANAh4iULZM2pu
307Please respect copyright.PENANAsJVAVq41IU
"Huh?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAcXut2Cqg71
307Please respect copyright.PENANAThdmeKNe51
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAfsODXdwgGK
307Please respect copyright.PENANAn240rzjhwk
"Wow." I'm surprised. I didn't think Yong-guk would go this far. I didn't even know what to say.307Please respect copyright.PENANA2wLzNjsVSy
307Please respect copyright.PENANAoeXUCgEVDv
"Hey, are you okay, Sam?" Yong-guk asked.307Please respect copyright.PENANAMWxaWBOEiP
307Please respect copyright.PENANAY7IZWPDwUA
I quickly turned to look at him. "Huh?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAj8SlZXSlEU
307Please respect copyright.PENANAH8spzdXXNj
"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?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAUvNg2TgbsF
307Please respect copyright.PENANAqxCWv7TYmy
I smiled at him. He really means it. There aren't many people in the world who are so thoughtful.307Please respect copyright.PENANA5wn6YIkpZ0
307Please respect copyright.PENANAPL46Ugjlcb
"I know what you mean. And no. I think there's no better person to work on it than you, Yong-guk."307Please respect copyright.PENANA4XAVqLj9ww
307Please respect copyright.PENANACww4GJKlGb
"Really?" He looked a little surprised with what I said.307Please respect copyright.PENANArqrss6tVBC
307Please respect copyright.PENANAQJqIXoiEDG
"Of course! Who would've thought we would've you helping us? It's actually really nice of you."307Please respect copyright.PENANAyWeLUFQhQa
307Please respect copyright.PENANArQZJqQW9Iu
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAPafi7KkUUO
307Please respect copyright.PENANAHC0jJY5roi
"May I hear what you've done so far?" I asked.307Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y0euhxxHq
307Please respect copyright.PENANAAsXPjuT2tf
"Ah..., sure," he said as he brought over the laptop closer.307Please respect copyright.PENANAicL1PY43LH
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3cPPGOhZYu
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANADznWpmCjaj
307Please respect copyright.PENANAIEqaDFtCaz
"Amazing," I looked at him with so much awe. "It's no wonder you're such a great producer."307Please respect copyright.PENANA2lVR2znAwN
307Please respect copyright.PENANA2P7xx3IjrL
He chuckled. "Coming from you, that means a lot."307Please respect copyright.PENANAJINiSkVyCx
307Please respect copyright.PENANAR7pLwMnMxS
"The others should hear this." My ear twitched. "I know you're there, Mike."307Please respect copyright.PENANAIC5txC7Ja0
307Please respect copyright.PENANAq6lwUccQUh
"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?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAmR6NWrIRT9
307Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4w2Ls6KBS
"Because what you've ain't cat feet," I smirked at him. "You've to work a lot harder than that."307Please respect copyright.PENANAx4FN5qLIPo
307Please respect copyright.PENANA1o6L1SpN1T
"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?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAdXHoGhm0lH
307Please respect copyright.PENANA8B7t0Ir8e0
"This," I said as I pressed the play button on the laptop, playing out the instrumental for him.307Please respect copyright.PENANA48PsjtwpBa
307Please respect copyright.PENANAbdLEyiby4Q
"Wow," muttered Mike. "But wait..., why does this beat sound familiar?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAPiwt3RN1Rx
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfER1UbH6bi
"It's because it's the beat to our song, silly," I said to him.307Please respect copyright.PENANAdGE79N0Ou8
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3UUuSUxSh2
"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?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAqPtYc9SJIS
307Please respect copyright.PENANAg3ttH6t2yg
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAGvEL28ISA3
307Please respect copyright.PENANA4l7CqHO37P
"You're amazing," he said as he patted Yong-guk on the shoulder. "This song will be awesome."307Please respect copyright.PENANAzCGkcpjbfh
307Please respect copyright.PENANAimbyTIA8by
"Thanks," he said. "You should be thanking your sister, though."307Please respect copyright.PENANAF6lmH7NNVB
307Please respect copyright.PENANAHNkUattU5B
"Huh?" Mike and I looked pluzzled.307Please respect copyright.PENANAV4bJ6UWJPl
307Please respect copyright.PENANAHBgEItN2Oe
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAK5nmFyoGJ9
307Please respect copyright.PENANAPAvcvMMmhA
"Oh...," I forgot he said that. Now it's my turn to blush, and Yong-guk smiled.307Please respect copyright.PENANAy44uiLm0EP
307Please respect copyright.PENANADjFuessTdR
"Ya, my sister is a genius," said Mike. "May I join you?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAoBgnl08om3
307Please respect copyright.PENANARX7qv81BWV
"Sure," said Yong-guk. "With you two here, I bet we can work on it together."307Please respect copyright.PENANA0tJxTNPZJs
307Please respect copyright.PENANAYHjxSQ04Zc
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAR0XlbQOc7R
307Please respect copyright.PENANAENmvkIIXsl
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAMTrkj4rx2x
307Please respect copyright.PENANADkFg0Nhvjq
"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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAlMATvLUKsN
307Please respect copyright.PENANAAsVkidePNU
"Alright, let's start," said Yong-guk.307Please respect copyright.PENANA1uTKuyk8z9
307Please respect copyright.PENANAsgnecqp56Z
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANASPtROZSVzr
307Please respect copyright.PENANAzVpQ4WQvLs
"Hey, what's going on here?" Himchan asked as he came to join us.307Please respect copyright.PENANASf7PJoJZx2
307Please respect copyright.PENANAOtvRsmcjHu
"We're working on an instrumental," Mike answered.307Please respect copyright.PENANAN6XeztoryW
307Please respect copyright.PENANAPICCGPOXnd
"Which one?"307Please respect copyright.PENANASB4aDihutw
307Please respect copyright.PENANAMQjvd9n7QS
"For our song," I answered. "You should hear it, it's really good."307Please respect copyright.PENANAb381HM8Ard
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3m9bHzmPhP
"Oh, I thought you had run out of ideas for the lyrics."307Please respect copyright.PENANAuFqhqvoqhi
307Please respect copyright.PENANAxNORYDIQ6E
"Well, I did. Maybe if I continue working on the instrumental, I might come up with them."307Please respect copyright.PENANARPTyCfg2MH
307Please respect copyright.PENANA2SL29CrYE8
"How far have you gone doing so?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAsdq800uHRq
307Please respect copyright.PENANAHKlDgZ0ebz
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAFsWp5moadH
307Please respect copyright.PENANAVG4w9vVkNl
"I agree," said Mike.307Please respect copyright.PENANAU3ONH5pIBc
307Please respect copyright.PENANAw4RHkCubmo
"And you're going to use this instrumental for your album?" Himchan asked.307Please respect copyright.PENANAhn3p068OaR
307Please respect copyright.PENANAMIVatWSzZL
"Of course we're," I answered, looking back at him. I now understood why he asked and I winced.307Please respect copyright.PENANAkHPkH9W6oG
307Please respect copyright.PENANAmpJ9sgFWQD
"What is it, Sam?" Mike asked.307Please respect copyright.PENANAUlPy6f7rzW
307Please respect copyright.PENANAPhINaea8xM
"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?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAcslj87qHeX
307Please respect copyright.PENANAM24sfuDsXW
"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?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAUyQ218eN9P
307Please respect copyright.PENANADr4BHKIjLP
"Collins may agree. But what about Yang Hyun-suk?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAl96GHPxtZw
307Please respect copyright.PENANAj8WaavQ9P2
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAFf5YXvqy0B
307Please respect copyright.PENANAvFKbFMRaH9
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAofQrnVsADo
307Please respect copyright.PENANACoOOnM2IFv
"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?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAL5u79k6Yf0
307Please respect copyright.PENANAvdZ5jnTdmP
"This is your tune and melody, Sam. So, he can't refuse. I mean, the song we did with BigBang was all you too."307Please respect copyright.PENANAgblwgCLl2V
307Please respect copyright.PENANAshzEs9vrr2
"It was?" Yong-guk and Himchan asked at the same time.307Please respect copyright.PENANA7cBKofvMfA
307Please respect copyright.PENANAFZ3xVyGMCa
"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?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAbMTPOOzs4T
307Please respect copyright.PENANAQPcmnBhoma
"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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAnoDysUniLv
307Please respect copyright.PENANAiBoufUPgdb
"Does this thing involving me always have to be highlighted?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAds7tbMUHvf
307Please respect copyright.PENANAWEvB8GV527
"Daa, yes! Out of all of us, Yang Hyun-suk approves of you the most. He'll definitely go through with it."307Please respect copyright.PENANA7xIKHD8wPW
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfTYTrvTMW7
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAaFvVSLiLSr
307Please respect copyright.PENANAVPGUKNXJxS
"Okay, if that's the case, than what of Yong-guk? Will he really help us through till the end?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAcI0FvWSYU2
307Please respect copyright.PENANAdWyXahQsvH
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANA1qJAFpdva9
307Please respect copyright.PENANAczOHwwTxEP
"I'm right here, you guys," said Yong-guk in between Mike and me. "I can clearly hear you."307Please respect copyright.PENANAx94quz1PJl
307Please respect copyright.PENANAzoB1ISEdn8
Mike and I turned to look at him, then ignored him like he wasn't there. Himchan chuckled.307Please respect copyright.PENANAfvOC44BUoH
307Please respect copyright.PENANANomIW89Z2T
"You're right," I said. "He'll stay till the end. He's such a good friend for helping us out."307Please respect copyright.PENANAAEjPI7TokD
307Please respect copyright.PENANA80ylXydBqS
"I know right," Mike smiled. "He's awesome."307Please respect copyright.PENANAiXupJSRsw6
307Please respect copyright.PENANA4J57bc0UMP
"I think you better focus on giving Collins a call, Sam," said Yong-guk, trying to sound serious, yet falling to do so.307Please respect copyright.PENANAFSHXju3rj9
307Please respect copyright.PENANAGhJ1SjagOU
"Aww," Himchan complained. "Their conversation was just about to get more interesting."307Please respect copyright.PENANAuQt9H4AU7S
307Please respect copyright.PENANAcQUYUrS8El
I laughed. "He's just trying to hide the fact that he's blushing."307Please respect copyright.PENANAr307yP5K6J
307Please respect copyright.PENANA9YHc7nqnzU
"No, I'm not," said Yong-guk as he folded his arms and looked straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.307Please respect copyright.PENANAz1r2WQeS7b
307Please respect copyright.PENANAKkTPVR1znf
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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAGEfuWDDjid
307Please respect copyright.PENANAG7nPNxKIOJ
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAGSHQJEK7ky
307Please respect copyright.PENANAmiVP52kD2P
"I'll be back," I said as I tried to stop laughing. "You better not have that face when I get back, Yong-guk."307Please respect copyright.PENANA4muswrVMFG
307Please respect copyright.PENANAMEKYWFovHF
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAi3BKU4yl7y
307Please respect copyright.PENANAo3jaGvWDgh
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANApseS5ojsnY
307Please respect copyright.PENANA1PKMgzw6Dq
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAJq0nnP0Wpe
307Please respect copyright.PENANAq7nFdF1YOC
Just when I'm about to cut the call, he picked up at the last minute.307Please respect copyright.PENANAvNYJdoT6PA
307Please respect copyright.PENANAeQ1xZW5Cet
"Hi, Sam," came his voice. "How's song writing going?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAyvIxW9IjsM
307Please respect copyright.PENANAeOjYGSzNJ5
"Not good, I'm afraid," I said as I scratched the back of my head wondering how to bring up the instrumental thing.307Please respect copyright.PENANAaoCEJUsXYf
307Please respect copyright.PENANAZO2oNZfwjK
"You'll figure it out. You do have extra help, don't you?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAVBp7OZURZA
307Please respect copyright.PENANArzUsg4zvTg
"I see Lee told you about BAP."307Please respect copyright.PENANAW4QNRh084z
307Please respect copyright.PENANA7HGwNbNV05
"Well, she had to. So what can I do for you?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAXchf4M27qc
307Please respect copyright.PENANA4j8jZMMFr9
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAuMnHb9JGW1
307Please respect copyright.PENANA8MoeoI7gJD
"You're already coming up with that?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAIU6F5B7jo0
307Please respect copyright.PENANA8u0gWfXo4B
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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAoimfYFeocm
307Please respect copyright.PENANAP0Qb0KhsEr
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAoI7P6BINR6
307Please respect copyright.PENANAKYFz3ENLu2
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAgcWqVXBcVe
307Please respect copyright.PENANAGlJFtsRrOI
I knew it. I had to say something quick to convince him.307Please respect copyright.PENANAEh9k9gqGdZ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAsRTsY03nKD
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAMxHFhkpfiX
307Please respect copyright.PENANA0hF9JbGPsp
"I believe you. But you know I'm not the only manager in this project of ours."307Please respect copyright.PENANAZuNihLhAo1
307Please respect copyright.PENANAoIZE7rMdo5
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAPXST9ew1Dv
307Please respect copyright.PENANAMor2oAEieO
"I don't have to talk to Yang Hyun-suk. He's right here with me. I put you on loud speaker."307Please respect copyright.PENANAgGWH08bVay
307Please respect copyright.PENANAUl7o4JBJ05
I swallowed as I stopped pacing and my heart did one huge beat that I felt my chest hurt.307Please respect copyright.PENANAnGFSqQ6C5o
307Please respect copyright.PENANAFrkBpi1VoE
"Oh..., good afternoon, Yang Hyun-suk sarangnim," I said quickly, so as not to seem surprised.307Please respect copyright.PENANA544KdcRATm
307Please respect copyright.PENANAUpqRjQfg9Y
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAKFEAQiQ1pw
307Please respect copyright.PENANAdMyElShvYu
"And what do you think?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAPWNf5B1p8w
307Please respect copyright.PENANA80hwiMplIL
"Well..., as much as the idea sounds tempting, I would actually refuse."307Please respect copyright.PENANA2xJabEda9j
307Please respect copyright.PENANAETn3pSBkoU
My heart sank. I told myself it was worth a try anyway.307Please respect copyright.PENANA0u7RVcfA9y
307Please respect copyright.PENANANxW3BEepCo
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAXIDMpO49il
307Please respect copyright.PENANAxe8U2KjPBC
"Really!" I cried out in excitement. I can't believe he actually agreed.307Please respect copyright.PENANAD2xJplaRaX
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6mv1Jv1N8I
"Let's not forget that we're the ones that have the final say. If it's good, then we will proceed."307Please respect copyright.PENANAQvxCT5cDZj
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6t6IAgadDc
"Thank you!" I said with so much excitement. I could hear the two managers chuckle to themselves. "I promise you won't be disappointed."307Please respect copyright.PENANALivub7gwJH
307Please respect copyright.PENANAIMnP60JI6a
"Make us proud, Sam," said Collins. "I hope you'll be able to come up with lyrics."307Please respect copyright.PENANAY7YZB7QWpi
307Please respect copyright.PENANAgNE8NkCy12
"I will. Thank you once again."307Please respect copyright.PENANAOYifDV2Mtl
307Please respect copyright.PENANAChd3gTSCHm
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAKUQUu0o3ej
307Please respect copyright.PENANAYtpNmbJyin
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAnLCVTxlMAz
307Please respect copyright.PENANAhApgB97sb9
"What's the news?" Mike asked as he looked at me.307Please respect copyright.PENANAO47w9R2DDI
307Please respect copyright.PENANAahjxfaGdRk
"I hope it's good," said Himchan.307Please respect copyright.PENANATGiImbPbcW
307Please respect copyright.PENANAsx7G2XC26I
"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.307Please respect copyright.PENANA3bHn4t5bs7
307Please respect copyright.PENANAhHP80IJF3r
"They agreed," I answered.307Please respect copyright.PENANA7kPNedbmer
307Please respect copyright.PENANAPhEm2CERiG
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAAsGlaMk0X7
307Please respect copyright.PENANAEQXoIZ3wmd
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANABinx6lsAfw
307Please respect copyright.PENANArtJA1ZWxax
"Ya, I'm also anxious to know what you're all talking about," said Daehyun.307Please respect copyright.PENANAVsQaDl3vVn
307Please respect copyright.PENANAr8qBvHdSqw
"Me too," said Zoey. "What did I miss?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAciVSpN6obL
307Please respect copyright.PENANAM1MhDg7utK
"A lot," I answered.307Please respect copyright.PENANAgNJD0EzYyb
307Please respect copyright.PENANANY4FIg8KVf
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAHq3t2pTRfj
307Please respect copyright.PENANAg0oubcUFs2
"Wow, that's awesome," said Zelo.307Please respect copyright.PENANAbM34UBrb8m
307Please respect copyright.PENANA1QIiiiu3Vq
"You see how the managers just love you, Sam?" Mike asked.307Please respect copyright.PENANAWKSBHhbsck
307Please respect copyright.PENANAcmUWhABJAQ
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAvGkXqawUhv
307Please respect copyright.PENANAtbDfAjOMcd
"But for them to agree its because they know Yong-guk is an awesome producer," said Himchan. "No doubt it will be lit."307Please respect copyright.PENANAxUWxmAxWvm
307Please respect copyright.PENANAvwHpIJLhCv
"I agree with Himchan," said Zoey. "And besides, it's more of Sam's original, so they can't say no."307Please respect copyright.PENANA36lEYT12FZ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAffVIrdqqdN
"Okay, we just need to focus on the instrumental and hopefully come up with the lyrics," I said.307Please respect copyright.PENANAAqbe7qHdxg
307Please respect copyright.PENANAmgWIQqwyx2
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAUxMktP8XIF
307Please respect copyright.PENANApa3KfV6fqd
"Okay," I said as I rubbed my hands together. "Toxins, get over here by the console, please."307Please respect copyright.PENANAO76za3b4T4
307Please respect copyright.PENANAJaBVm7UJxf
"Okay," said Christine and Zoey as they both stood up from the couch and quickly came over.307Please respect copyright.PENANAjXK3kXZfkd
307Please respect copyright.PENANAGuZk7Nl741
"We will be here to help in anyway we can," said Young-jae.307Please respect copyright.PENANAjKr5RWXJ2K
307Please respect copyright.PENANA9tJHdflyNL
"Thanks, guys," I said with a smile. I went over to sit back on my chair next to Yong-guk.307Please respect copyright.PENANAVhhFbB0wtD
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfOIV8cEnuQ
"Okay," said Yong-guk. "Let's continue where we ended, shall we?"
