"Okay, so here are the lyrics for the song," I said after writing them down.718Please respect copyright.PENANA05lDcJeLNv
718Please respect copyright.PENANAU2g6GADzzB
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANARlDx5LmAdx
718Please respect copyright.PENANAWeXJsU4Oe7
"Just admit it," said Zoey, "the song is awesome."718Please respect copyright.PENANACuQSn11hqn
718Please respect copyright.PENANAk8myhyvOk3
"Zoey." Christine gave her a look that told her to keep quiet. "Let the others take it in first."718Please respect copyright.PENANAOLJo7v9KuK
718Please respect copyright.PENANAm81LwQjiOG
"Zoey's right," said Daehyun. "The lyrics are great."718Please respect copyright.PENANAtNTRo6a5r9
718Please respect copyright.PENANAWUpIBtTsDI
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANARFryvqdPNb
718Please respect copyright.PENANA03QJF4r3K8
"You should listen to the tune," said Mike. "You'll love it."718Please respect copyright.PENANAtX4IdxAMMs
718Please respect copyright.PENANAR64pTDgOqP
"I bet that's why you went searching for the guitar," said Jongup as he looked at me.718Please respect copyright.PENANAD11o0qqKmJ
718Please respect copyright.PENANAj72AjTQXVI
"Play the guitar, Sam," Himchan insisted. "We're all dying to hear it. I bet Yong-guk can't wait any longer."718Please respect copyright.PENANAsj0CErNPoy
718Please respect copyright.PENANADqclFb6BJk
"Huh?" Yong-guk looked at Himchan beside him, looking confused. "No, I'm not."718Please respect copyright.PENANApR3RIT4GEq
718Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZCxtKechy
"Of course you are," said Yong-nam as he gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "Don't forget, I'm your twin."718Please respect copyright.PENANANcSxCV2Kw0
718Please respect copyright.PENANASJHjNRTW4d
"Okay," I said as I took the guitar that had been laying on the table the whole time. "Let me play it, then."718Please respect copyright.PENANASO7SeXJInC
718Please respect copyright.PENANAJNfBx59cEO
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANA07j5bqmFds
718Please respect copyright.PENANADFdfdWsN7m
"Wow," said Young-jae, looking at me like he's just seen something's dazzled him. "The song's going to sound awesome."718Please respect copyright.PENANAX2nuM8IB8Y
718Please respect copyright.PENANAc44CONiHUV
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAKdaGP9IjEV
718Please respect copyright.PENANAw65MmG3flN
"Alright," said Yong-guk, looking to see what I was writing on the paper. "Whatever it is, I bet we can handle it."718Please respect copyright.PENANAfPHsngfwpA
718Please respect copyright.PENANA6MhnRMflT6
"Can't wait to see you try," said Christine. "But then again, if it's you two l'm not worried."718Please respect copyright.PENANATGV3NtuzoI
718Please respect copyright.PENANA7ozZsSpNCH
"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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAPYax4rGw9F
718Please respect copyright.PENANAuFtsVs68bo
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAIjbPmU9Tne
718Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3xixRaXLp
"Come on, Jongup," Zelo complained. "You're distracting Sam. We all want to hear what she has written."718Please respect copyright.PENANAYYcmbmk22D
718Please respect copyright.PENANAhWHIDtV0dj
"I don't think that I'm distracting her," said Jongup as he looked at Zelo. "Right, Sam?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAGY9QxQzajd
718Please respect copyright.PENANAs10zN8F9QR
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANA3Qg8W1X0Dm
718Please respect copyright.PENANAAeCaMasKxq
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAJq3DRzC1a1
718Please respect copyright.PENANAPqWcpg80kY
"What's wrong, Sam?" he asked.718Please respect copyright.PENANAqyxzvkcZ3U
718Please respect copyright.PENANAriWwkwQVjt
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANA0tfB3f0R3P
718Please respect copyright.PENANAvc15C8GOFG
"Goodness, Jongup," said Mike, "you almost kissed my sister."718Please respect copyright.PENANAtYmUItiZKf
718Please respect copyright.PENANAXHgIZ5TqTw
And it just had to be Mike. Goodness, me!718Please respect copyright.PENANAI9GCuLucJo
718Please respect copyright.PENANAUlKX8MWBS5
"Huh?" Jongup looked surprised. "I did?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAb7N65FnmXC
718Please respect copyright.PENANAdI9DcqcezH
"And you were this close," said Zoey indicating a tiny space with her index finger and thumb.718Please respect copyright.PENANAWAqovIHzgL
718Please respect copyright.PENANAzX8zLmgPKD
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAA0fNT2fo6o
718Please respect copyright.PENANAl41RGqd0Ik
"You see, I told you so," said Zelo.718Please respect copyright.PENANAhn5fUkH7u0
718Please respect copyright.PENANAYNCwwbjoTc
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANANhC0dNl6BA
718Please respect copyright.PENANACjnbuDbLYG
Yong-nam cleared his throat. "Not at all," he answered. "You're actually pretty light."718Please respect copyright.PENANA8PhgUWf9Ju
718Please respect copyright.PENANA5X1QSHK4kg
I nervously laughed, not sure whether he meant it or not.718Please respect copyright.PENANAVnyB48HucP
718Please respect copyright.PENANAyV2cAzzG38
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAkjysQ60ewr
718Please respect copyright.PENANADqPkNoWMk3
"You're such a fantasist, Zoey," said Daniel as he shook his head.718Please respect copyright.PENANAgm020DirwF
718Please respect copyright.PENANAUSErqqi59t
"Don't mind her," I said. "Can we forget the kissing incident and focus on the song, please?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAmiw52EdQSq
718Please respect copyright.PENANAEnxUmalECU
"Sure," said Mike. "That's if we can reset Zoey's brain or else she won't stop talking about it."718Please respect copyright.PENANAGaQ2BGrhDl
718Please respect copyright.PENANAS82FiUdRiz
"Are you saying that I'm kookoo?" Zoey asked, looking at Mike.718Please respect copyright.PENANAK0pU4pssZr
718Please respect copyright.PENANAnq8Ak6UJPH
"You can argue later, you two," I said, giving them a look. "Let's try and focus."718Please respect copyright.PENANAVuvf7PoQ7d
718Please respect copyright.PENANA8xilIq11Tu
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANABhehx6TuL5
718Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ95QpGi9K
"Is it just me or something's just off?" Young-jae asked.718Please respect copyright.PENANANqcGqVKvN7
718Please respect copyright.PENANAyabGuo9obU
"I think I feel what you mean," said Zoey as she scratched her head.718Please respect copyright.PENANAOLG1mA04a8
718Please respect copyright.PENANAkchGTvXsuY
"Huh? What's Zoey saying?" Himchan asked.718Please respect copyright.PENANAlPaT1rEqMv
718Please respect copyright.PENANAWXWa9FdI8o
"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.718Please respect copyright.PENANA93p6e8WEln
718Please respect copyright.PENANAhkj2UQUT7H
"I feel we aren't working like we did the first time," said Christine.718Please respect copyright.PENANAQvXsBpbnM1
718Please respect copyright.PENANALAqxdK9bdq
"Ya, that's what I meant," said Zoey.718Please respect copyright.PENANArSeSLBdA5K
718Please respect copyright.PENANAhIDoENos5f
"We just aren't coming up with the right lyrics," said Yong-guk, "that's all."718Please respect copyright.PENANAa0dw7jmrgd
718Please respect copyright.PENANAtH8PmK9Ogz
"Why is that?" Himchan asked.718Please respect copyright.PENANArhbUEMuvlk
718Please respect copyright.PENANA2KZYOfRZbe
"Who knows," said Daniel. "What do you think, Sam?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAeI28CKsEPB
718Please respect copyright.PENANAeGE6MgH4Ko
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAAm6ceoudGu
718Please respect copyright.PENANAYD9u9uWmqy
"You look like you're about to cry, Sam," said Jongup.718Please respect copyright.PENANA2YMdfOCydL
718Please respect copyright.PENANAPfQ2uy63Pe
"Don't mind me," I said. "I'm frustrated that we're going nowhere."718Please respect copyright.PENANAsMxEzcSafx
718Please respect copyright.PENANANMAQ5ulFrn
"Maybe we're all just tired," said Zelo.718Please respect copyright.PENANAdrNlUr7wSO
718Please respect copyright.PENANAjvf1T7MYrl
"I felt we rested enough," said Daehyun.718Please respect copyright.PENANAjqu1m6KO4z
718Please respect copyright.PENANAK0YUKavhFl
"Or maybe we've been in the same place for too long," I suggested. "Sometimes the environment contributes greatly."718Please respect copyright.PENANAOKv2vbrYfP
718Please respect copyright.PENANAjev1wpLxcn
"Maybe," said Yong-guk.718Please respect copyright.PENANAbt0kX8C03r
718Please respect copyright.PENANAwc65GT5izV
"What do you think, Yong-nam?" Christine asked as she turned to look at him.718Please respect copyright.PENANA8qENMXX7UB
718Please respect copyright.PENANAg7ADj3jKmo
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."718Please respect copyright.PENANArxtrqFct24
718Please respect copyright.PENANAGH3AOgn0A5
"Tomorrow?" Daniel looked shocked at the idea. "Won't that be a little too late for us?"718Please respect copyright.PENANA83xpblXESX
718Please respect copyright.PENANA2cMySpEeTo
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAHwnmYsROXl
718Please respect copyright.PENANAAWTffvj0zZ
"Not forgetting that we should at least have something to present to Yang Hyun-suk," said Zoey.718Please respect copyright.PENANAkwCEWR7E7j
718Please respect copyright.PENANAmMfzgLzV28
"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.718Please respect copyright.PENANArWFIunCpFA
718Please respect copyright.PENANAb7C5KnYwyu
"Now I wish we never had to make an album," said Zoey as she leaned back on the chair and sighed.718Please respect copyright.PENANAPFtOIPDDhr
718Please respect copyright.PENANAsL1NFYm02B
"Wow, you guys are working on an album?" Jongup asked.718Please respect copyright.PENANADa9rm48rZ1
718Please respect copyright.PENANANssUX4k8f5
"Yep," I answered as I lifted my face up from my hands. "Our managers are ambitious."718Please respect copyright.PENANAJUpfgVTpZ3
718Please respect copyright.PENANAOUq8aQi5OG
"At least we don't have to worry about the other songs," said Zoey.718Please respect copyright.PENANAg1lqar0P2G
718Please respect copyright.PENANAVOLCL6RTWi
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZOHJhBW7i
718Please respect copyright.PENANAzwnc5GRUcc
"I think we should take a little break," said Yong-nam.718Please respect copyright.PENANAiFBRy8ba5Y
718Please respect copyright.PENANAkwIseQpTkj
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?718Please respect copyright.PENANAYRwGhEasya
718Please respect copyright.PENANAzAlmpybqnI
"You're scaring me, Sam," I heard Yong-guk say.718Please respect copyright.PENANApNEogGWp1q
718Please respect copyright.PENANAFiX9VSQV2j
"Oh, don't mind her," said Zoey. "She started this and finding a way to finish it is frustrating."718Please respect copyright.PENANALDE0TACJ49
718Please respect copyright.PENANAepLw3zzmxy
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAeMsDTWz7Uy
718Please respect copyright.PENANA3cmsXlRHHZ
"Wait..., does this mean we won't have the reward Lee was talking about?" I heard Daniel ask.718Please respect copyright.PENANAqgwAPn7UI3
718Please respect copyright.PENANAb8SnOTac2w
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANArcA1ZAa2Tr
718Please respect copyright.PENANASEbBv4cB4b
"Don't worry about that, Daniel," I said. "Lee will give us that reward."718Please respect copyright.PENANA0L93RAnsMI
718Please respect copyright.PENANAeP9W3b07gE
"For someone who seems tired, you sound pretty confident," said Himchan.718Please respect copyright.PENANAgrQJso3ng6
718Please respect copyright.PENANAxniE456ynt
"I just know." I smiled at him as I shrugged my shoulders.718Please respect copyright.PENANA5r9QavkBpW
718Please respect copyright.PENANAhqT8e4oqzy
"Do you've any idea what it could be?" Daniel asked.718Please respect copyright.PENANAGesTXPe8A8
718Please respect copyright.PENANA6WkgBYC4vd
I shook my head. It's best it turns out as a surprise.718Please respect copyright.PENANA4FDoP9PEGA
718Please respect copyright.PENANA2757o8WpEV
"So, what are we going to do now?" Zelo asked. "Just sit and do nothing?"718Please respect copyright.PENANACtt4wHbh29
718Please respect copyright.PENANAexHOQbT67q
"We can do something fun to pass the time," Christine suggested.718Please respect copyright.PENANAIn87CfXn4b
718Please respect copyright.PENANAbSlmC734n2
"Not me," I went back to lying down on the floor.718Please respect copyright.PENANAwHma3cW0r0
718Please respect copyright.PENANAEHRFoiIzOi
No one said a word. I could feel a few eyes on me, while others, I'm guessing, gave each other looks.718Please respect copyright.PENANAeUBQFPYQRC
718Please respect copyright.PENANAzaALzPflFV
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "You're such a party pooper."718Please respect copyright.PENANApENAS7chfc
718Please respect copyright.PENANAw9sE53TagU
"Haven't heard you call me that in a while," I said as I smiled at the ceiling.718Please respect copyright.PENANA9mACBatm1c
718Please respect copyright.PENANAqJIRHLJFk2
"Get up, will you? This is no time to be lying down."718Please respect copyright.PENANAdbt5hevItE
718Please respect copyright.PENANAGMt3zIevhw
"There's nothing wrong with lying down to rest, is there?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAAngiPqpz6u
718Please respect copyright.PENANAoUnxps2Pi6
"Goodness, me." Zoey sounded frustrated. She couldn't argue over that and she knew it.718Please respect copyright.PENANA5KO5M3g7gX
718Please respect copyright.PENANAajgxqHE0kx
"Maybe we should call Lee to pick us up," Mike suggested.718Please respect copyright.PENANAL0iGHHwldb
718Please respect copyright.PENANA1NwGH3xhyU
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAwzhrT7KZFM
718Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8unh7ssdD
I heard Zelo and Daehyun chuckle while I heard Christine and Zoey mutter out in frustration.718Please respect copyright.PENANAWxd9KaAQ6v
718Please respect copyright.PENANA97YeZ23lGu
"Looks like you're stuck here with us until Lee comes to pick you up," I heard Yong-guk say.718Please respect copyright.PENANAu6Cw08awlf
718Please respect copyright.PENANAPFov9Ybvc4
"But we can't sit here doing nothing," said Daniel. "Like Christine said, we better find something to do."718Please respect copyright.PENANAmCTfkYrEwz
718Please respect copyright.PENANAs3Lvf3nyh0
"You should be resting," I suggested, my eyes still closed.718Please respect copyright.PENANAZeSHRSJr0W
718Please respect copyright.PENANAk0acHheWWS
"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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAx281StjCRa
718Please respect copyright.PENANALL1ATcFshl
I smiled. "Suit yourself."718Please respect copyright.PENANAVktCVPDZ52
718Please respect copyright.PENANAZERfsFpGC5
"No one wants to do karaoke in the recording booth?" Jongup suggested.718Please respect copyright.PENANAMh0azaua59
718Please respect copyright.PENANAxlaYRdNyU1
"I think we've done enough singing for one day," said Daehyun.718Please respect copyright.PENANAvyvr7m8vbO
718Please respect copyright.PENANAHISJuzIW4g
"I agree," said Zoey.718Please respect copyright.PENANAjFaCetVPft
718Please respect copyright.PENANAD0fK6DNm1F
"If there's clearly nothing to do, then I think we should be resting like Sam's doing right now," said Yong-guk.718Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0C8Uqxkfm
718Please respect copyright.PENANARtRu9gbFxg
"I like your thinking," I said with my eyes closed. I raised my hand to give him a thumbs up.718Please respect copyright.PENANAMaDEUbzwP8
718Please respect copyright.PENANAHBGz7ny1rC
"You songwriters all think the same," I heard Christine mutter.718Please respect copyright.PENANAiJUJ0mz0DH
718Please respect copyright.PENANAECFugTFEYu
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAimPbIC7E5r
718Please respect copyright.PENANAkcglZ7TDq8
"Huh? Not you too, Mike," said Zoey, sounding surprised.718Please respect copyright.PENANALMhQiYjzUe
718Please respect copyright.PENANA3YLudoaYSS
"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?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAPO5ORNjUIh
718Please respect copyright.PENANAXRwJ3sSJiI
"I shouldn't be surprised coming from you."718Please respect copyright.PENANAhgaCaOKK3J
718Please respect copyright.PENANAoM1DhbWQdT
"Ya, ya, ya, Zoey. I'm the bad guy here. Doesn't matter now, does it?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAqjGm8sOl5c
718Please respect copyright.PENANAuHuTlDHPIA
"Well, if there's nothing for you guys to do at the moment, then I'm going to work on something," said Yong-guk.718Please respect copyright.PENANAtlnceFNm50
718Please respect copyright.PENANADrtabtZR1P
"And what could that be?" Young-jae asked.718Please respect copyright.PENANAORxu1ieBZo
718Please respect copyright.PENANAuPbx3N7Ldr
"Our song, of course."718Please respect copyright.PENANAnKCU1bdPTZ
718Please respect copyright.PENANAPzu71r9KOJ
"You go ahead and do that," I said.718Please respect copyright.PENANAxVjVkv4P6D
718Please respect copyright.PENANAqit4kfDUsM
There came an awkward pause and I opened one eye to look at him.718Please respect copyright.PENANAQMSeeZNLYp
718Please respect copyright.PENANApghOK1vKxO
"You look surprised, Yong-guk," said Yong-nam. He took the words right out of my mouth.718Please respect copyright.PENANAg3Kho8lo49
718Please respect copyright.PENANAd1chcdAC4j
"I thought that would get Sam up from the floor since she seems to really like helping out," said Yong-guk.718Please respect copyright.PENANA0O8RncQwdn
718Please respect copyright.PENANAGy5GdxeHY4
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANA7UqO9fx8TE
718Please respect copyright.PENANArxiUt30Nw6
"Okay, then," said Yong-guk. "And you, Mike?"718Please respect copyright.PENANALqgGsOsXvV
718Please respect copyright.PENANAddhD1WztBj
"I'll pass too," said Mike.718Please respect copyright.PENANAsSiafl7QLs
718Please respect copyright.PENANA2yg8Enp3nl
"Okay. I'll be by the console. Any of you guys want to join me?"718Please respect copyright.PENANATsyNcLpHU7
718Please respect copyright.PENANAHo7hw3cSyu
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANA7o3vUgUtiD
718Please respect copyright.PENANAawGvVDvOC5
"I'm going to relax over here too," said Young-jae.718Please respect copyright.PENANAhwXX3JVpsH
718Please respect copyright.PENANAprgJ1zWaKj
"What's up with everyone?" Yong-guk asked, sounding surprised.718Please respect copyright.PENANApkVPs6IIGn
718Please respect copyright.PENANAZt49sUHbst
"Like Yong-nam said, we're tired," I said as I sat up. "The best thing to do right now is relax."718Please respect copyright.PENANAHGxtMM2BfU
718Please respect copyright.PENANAjxjYC3qzjb
"Aren't you worried about not making progress on your song?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAdh5iHf6jkG
718Please respect copyright.PENANA1xXDtMyAB4
"I was about to ask the same question," said Zoey with a sulky look on her face. 718Please respect copyright.PENANA5w8hBdGiUC
718Please respect copyright.PENANAUE2fvFmTXN
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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAUmtQSKARFp
718Please respect copyright.PENANAjfiYWqvbBG
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAC3G4iiYDyu
718Please respect copyright.PENANA2xePBTUMRz
"You of all people shouldn't even be sleeping," said Yong-guk.718Please respect copyright.PENANAPh973eT5CP
718Please respect copyright.PENANAtSgVA2Ewef
I laughed. As much as I wanted to hear these two brothers argue, it ended there. I went back to sleeping on the floor.718Please respect copyright.PENANArNeGbcAR3J
718Please respect copyright.PENANARxnDA4MKZ0
"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.718Please respect copyright.PENANASeTvprgtfA
718Please respect copyright.PENANAlLER7Gjsfb
"Looks like the majority wins," said Himchan as he chuckled.718Please respect copyright.PENANAl29k9FkjGj

Zoey mourned in frustration. Even I could tell she's tired. She had no choice but to give in.718Please respect copyright.PENANAKqGWzCnUMj
718Please respect copyright.PENANAxZ38fgR3cU
"Oh, man!" Daniel muttered out loud.718Please respect copyright.PENANAxeJwKi7uGW
718Please respect copyright.PENANAQs6DMoOJsr
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAFyOeZDWrya
718Please respect copyright.PENANASqyTPLKitP
"Sorry, guys," he said. He quickly looked up from his phone when he noticed people's eyes on him. "Playing a game over here."718Please respect copyright.PENANAGvbCX7nKK2
718Please respect copyright.PENANARLM7mUwPLE
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAPGPVO522Kt
718Please respect copyright.PENANA8TSVuALsIJ
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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAbjGTk4sNnp
718Please respect copyright.PENANA7A1At1qo8B
"I think I'll have a little shut-eye," said Christine.718Please respect copyright.PENANAcad7FFcDxA
718Please respect copyright.PENANADUYP9RE686
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAepEHzRFwDa
718Please respect copyright.PENANAWWxNK4kKeV
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANA9zwSySg3F8
718Please respect copyright.PENANAGYBjcSNYIJ
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAZBtdzRg79o
718Please respect copyright.PENANAE3TiCzAdMP
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAGY67RleeHA
718Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2oUkwmeBF
"Hey, Sam?" I heard Jongup call me. "Are you asleep?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAbg2p3LYlbu
718Please respect copyright.PENANAsfMTn115vY
"No," I answered. I drew my eyes open and looked at him. "What is it?"718Please respect copyright.PENANA10Ye4JXO3s
718Please respect copyright.PENANAvHueINXpyn
"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.718Please respect copyright.PENANA4VSMmumZwm
718Please respect copyright.PENANALW9nY0pK6M
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAA8GRizVDUQ
718Please respect copyright.PENANAoaHjiQcULx
"I know," said Jongup. "You should see this previous one. It will knock your socks off."718Please respect copyright.PENANAhX7o0IWMR5
718Please respect copyright.PENANAHSayK3SX91
I joined Jongup in watching more cat videos. We soon moved on to watch people participate in various dance challenges.718Please respect copyright.PENANAyRkXQNUr5i
718Please respect copyright.PENANARW8Us00r7T
"We should've a dance challenge one day," I said to Jongup as we watched.718Please respect copyright.PENANAMoNfMyVKDx
718Please respect copyright.PENANAviFTw5YGYm
"Huh?" he turned to look at me. "We should've a dance challenge?"718Please respect copyright.PENANACanHsJ1rvY
718Please respect copyright.PENANAIvXweR4IYB
"Ya. I mean The Toxins vs BAP."718Please respect copyright.PENANAimZvFq7pRg
718Please respect copyright.PENANArtrohmuMfB
"Oh..., like the one you had with Monsta X?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAS0WrjhbUWi
718Please respect copyright.PENANA9YkvmScqUa
"Yes, like that one. You watched it?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAmrN6psEB5l
718Please respect copyright.PENANApGJvQYshYL
"I think a lot of us did. People really liked it."718Please respect copyright.PENANAfoBFrBpCEA
718Please respect copyright.PENANAUtClUM2d60
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAIw60HQGGZA
718Please respect copyright.PENANADr7fGLGQfp
"Oh, you've an album to work on."718Please respect copyright.PENANA6kfXkI9uCi
718Please respect copyright.PENANATiOQmeuAc1
I stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Just thinking about it drains me." I went back to looking at his phone.718Please respect copyright.PENANAEDt8hU6i0L
718Please respect copyright.PENANA8FDSa7Ojwb
"Did I hear someone talk about having a dance challenge with BAP?" Zoey asked.718Please respect copyright.PENANAGFpWDNivqW
718Please respect copyright.PENANABA9yODLLYr
I raised my head a little and saw Zoey still on her phone.718Please respect copyright.PENANATfmAyq3SIH
718Please respect copyright.PENANA2WVUTcr8UG
"Yes, I said that," I said as I dropped my head and stared at Jongup's phone.718Please respect copyright.PENANAymQWmcb64B
718Please respect copyright.PENANAkf4eYmakRL
"Why not do so now?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAi5ILQKjnwO
718Please respect copyright.PENANAa88FS2ELh2
"No!" Christine, Mike and I said out loud at the same time.718Please respect copyright.PENANAruUZnkkCII
718Please respect copyright.PENANAvqidIffnUd
"Eish, guys. It's why I asked. You don't have to eat me alive."718Please respect copyright.PENANASflN1XLU0n
718Please respect copyright.PENANAUHch299bql
Himchan and the other BAP members around the table started to chuckle.718Please respect copyright.PENANAmnDTPpAd8y
718Please respect copyright.PENANAB7anYebFkd
"You Toxins really are something," said Himchan. "You do know that the majority of you opposed, right?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAtWWxuGNrtB
718Please respect copyright.PENANAIJhEeXOooB
"Except Daniel," said Zelo.718Please respect copyright.PENANAPidkoyrmEa
718Please respect copyright.PENANACaofOcC1RS
"Oh, I refuse too," said Daniel, still on his phone.718Please respect copyright.PENANAu8SHSUxp5t
718Please respect copyright.PENANAwxUB7uAKrH
Zoey tsked. "You guys are no fun."718Please respect copyright.PENANAMFJmhmPd1A
718Please respect copyright.PENANAPdFsBVU2kx
"Use logic, Zoey," said Christine. "We're all tired and don't have the energy for a dance challenge."718Please respect copyright.PENANAljsF6dlMQU
718Please respect copyright.PENANAKsYXtNY2vS
"I know that. I thought maybe someone's in the mood for it."718Please respect copyright.PENANArVJ8YDxybV
718Please respect copyright.PENANAJgWuuoyNWU
"No one is in the mood for it," said Mike.718Please respect copyright.PENANA3hy45AfVv5
718Please respect copyright.PENANAnsvfElOl06
"And what if the BAP members were?"718Please respect copyright.PENANA9wWX5cLaO2
718Please respect copyright.PENANA3UJV3oMGrs
I heard Daehyun nervously chuckle. "To be honest, Zoey," he said, "I'm definitely not in the mood."718Please respect copyright.PENANAnEypZJgEsa
718Please respect copyright.PENANAsfZvMxuGBl
"Me too," said Young-jae.718Please respect copyright.PENANAJYrJe43PGw
718Please respect copyright.PENANAer37ekxdHe
"Me three," said Zelo.718Please respect copyright.PENANA6IWgJPKLjK
718Please respect copyright.PENANA97PPMCt7qs
"Guess I don't have to ask you, Himchan," said Zoey, sounding unimpressed.718Please respect copyright.PENANA5PRmSATWX1
718Please respect copyright.PENANAHTbCrOAqLj
Himchan, just like Daehyun, nervously chuckled too.718Please respect copyright.PENANAPWhBfNPoUW
718Please respect copyright.PENANA8i9iEfYbz4
"You can ask Yong-guk," Zelo suggested.718Please respect copyright.PENANAMUYXGhYCXQ
718Please respect copyright.PENANAfUtSTVlhzX
"Nah. He's already busy and I don't like to be a bother."718Please respect copyright.PENANAe1rh1vIjgD
718Please respect copyright.PENANAUnDRMjyuED
"Really?" Mike asked. Uh-oh. I smell an argument brewing. "You bother a lot of us everyday."718Please respect copyright.PENANAbcTUWaw7E8
718Please respect copyright.PENANA5dCnakB8yV
"What did you say!?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAgPvuxnSHqs
718Please respect copyright.PENANAD1R8xHssnT
"Quiet down, Zoey," said Christine. "You're disturbing Yong-nam. He's probably asleep."718Please respect copyright.PENANAtXQbs3o37k
718Please respect copyright.PENANAPawmyn4VQk
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAz0xcJHBauC
718Please respect copyright.PENANAkSpOb4IPsS
"I bet he isn't," said Zoey. "Is he, Sam?"718Please respect copyright.PENANARJM4amuSXu
718Please respect copyright.PENANAPp6zcCvQAn
"Huh?" I got a little caught off guard as I didn't answer Zoey's question.718Please respect copyright.PENANAlVYuIq5uNL
718Please respect copyright.PENANAJmhJM14f8g
"Is he awake?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAPK6cAMAcEV
718Please respect copyright.PENANAEYZ7TAf08D
"Not sure," I answered. "He would've said something if he was."718Please respect copyright.PENANAN7EROIUBlz
718Please respect copyright.PENANAsLDo5jYnfG
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAVpKwR0W61m
718Please respect copyright.PENANA3YQ7ES68QF
"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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAJe5C3XhwQ2
718Please respect copyright.PENANARsNL2dutqt
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "It's what you said, Mike. How am I a bother to you?"718Please respect copyright.PENANASHbseeC6aI
718Please respect copyright.PENANAHNe4j9beEf
"You're being a bother right now. I'm trying to rest and you're disturbing me."718Please respect copyright.PENANAdsOFaGHLOt
718Please respect copyright.PENANAiLCk4hpsJe
Zoey hissed that I thought a snake had magically appeared in the room. If she was one, no doubt she would attack Mike first.718Please respect copyright.PENANAe5NGr2w0Rh
718Please respect copyright.PENANAf5sdvszoky
"Enough," said Christine. "No one wants to see or hear you two fight."718Please respect copyright.PENANAeQxThr9gXN
718Please respect copyright.PENANAJxA3FPtpP1
"Mike started it," said Zoey.718Please respect copyright.PENANAvQ6fPGKSFe
718Please respect copyright.PENANAwPQp3wuFc2
"You amplified it," said Mike. "You always do."718Please respect copyright.PENANAj7Fb2NoA4W
718Please respect copyright.PENANAUrCctjBQhy
"For once I agree with Mike," I said. "Let it go, Zoey."718Please respect copyright.PENANACbyklN6AGR
718Please respect copyright.PENANAPJStGJ0ebr
"You guys are unbelievable," said Zoey.718Please respect copyright.PENANAk7weY0N5SW
718Please respect copyright.PENANARne4qTRqhU
"You're unbelievable," said Himchan as he chuckled. "You really are a drama queen. No offense."718Please respect copyright.PENANAvZnZbenyUa
718Please respect copyright.PENANAYNFRCxLTDF
"None taken. These guys call me that all the time."718Please respect copyright.PENANALmgu8b7NNO
718Please respect copyright.PENANAuwRVBd2OUc
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAZUYnbIHLgE
718Please respect copyright.PENANATN54Zg2EsO
I stretched out my arms and stood up, stretching my whole body.718Please respect copyright.PENANA8R1mUFKw3K
718Please respect copyright.PENANAKU5dywMweK
"I've had enough of watching Instagram videos," I told Jongup.718Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9U0KSUbfU
718Please respect copyright.PENANAO0wDgX70cR
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAuXMqZl83iV
718Please respect copyright.PENANAKVroOXlKeg
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAHVNy4H0O5z
718Please respect copyright.PENANAjXyZEpKS4u
"Hey, there," I said to him when I got behind him. I bent over to look at him from the side of his face.718Please respect copyright.PENANAWh0RdIN8ST
718Please respect copyright.PENANACAwQKx7NiN
"Oh, Sam," he looked up at me, surprised. "I didn't hear you coming."718Please respect copyright.PENANA9zwBysoUv6
718Please respect copyright.PENANAYf00CGk2zb
"I've cat feet," I said as I took the empty seat next to him.718Please respect copyright.PENANAyAkGteh0xJ
718Please respect copyright.PENANALVYjJgfzPz
"Cat feet?"718Please respect copyright.PENANACNjAA455Gc
718Please respect copyright.PENANAsqmqPAjoam
"I'm told there are times when people don't hear me coming so they say I've cat feet. I sometimes scare them."718Please respect copyright.PENANAWseeTwSTKV
718Please respect copyright.PENANAmzXcKdFDcf
"Oh, I see."718Please respect copyright.PENANAS7xXk8mSIa
718Please respect copyright.PENANAl0SJtQ4dh1
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAO4DKfhG7NH
718Please respect copyright.PENANAoNq28ASZAn
"I'll keep that in mind," said Yong-guk as he turned to smile at her.718Please respect copyright.PENANAF8aNFmsuyq
718Please respect copyright.PENANAQEAeGX6JHb
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAbp1NOFf0rJ
718Please respect copyright.PENANAX2Ti83fDwG
"I'm not working on our song," said Yong-guk as he went to work on the laptop.718Please respect copyright.PENANAaw3wWVUTjE
718Please respect copyright.PENANAfoGkVjFLvr
"Then, what are you working on?" I raised my eyebrow at him.718Please respect copyright.PENANApzZFgswVXx
718Please respect copyright.PENANAMNFAGomSQe
"On your song," he answered.718Please respect copyright.PENANAxF7ov1IeqP
718Please respect copyright.PENANACa17QmS7Nu
"Huh?"718Please respect copyright.PENANA1xDIQHehbb
718Please respect copyright.PENANArE7lnr4MUp
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8PSt6yqdq
718Please respect copyright.PENANAklgUiMmReZ
"Wow." I'm surprised. I didn't think Yong-guk would go this far. I didn't even know what to say.718Please respect copyright.PENANAwnegCJBlxa
718Please respect copyright.PENANAe6T5hlc08t
"Hey, are you okay, Sam?" Yong-guk asked.718Please respect copyright.PENANAQUwBb7kx9A
718Please respect copyright.PENANAxX7M1RgDRO
I quickly turned to look at him. "Huh?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAUgOR3yuqtE
718Please respect copyright.PENANAVLLdeLXV1w
"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?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAfAtocAWQzw
718Please respect copyright.PENANAJ95OlyPCEZ
I smiled at him. He really means it. There aren't many people in the world who are so thoughtful.718Please respect copyright.PENANAg6oGYGQgDr
718Please respect copyright.PENANAQz35GFDu2h
"I know what you mean. And no. I think there's no better person to work on it than you, Yong-guk."718Please respect copyright.PENANA27uVvJxu5U
718Please respect copyright.PENANAwhIaJZe0Jo
"Really?" He looked a little surprised with what I said.718Please respect copyright.PENANACWnxiP6ZxU
718Please respect copyright.PENANADq4YAb3mHi
"Of course! Who would've thought we would've you helping us? It's actually really nice of you."718Please respect copyright.PENANADqez7ytk03
718Please respect copyright.PENANAwdCET0BGt6
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAmqA2TtdRPR
718Please respect copyright.PENANAU6xgNh6sme
"May I hear what you've done so far?" I asked.718Please respect copyright.PENANAFIjSPKc3Ev
718Please respect copyright.PENANAI3dPK8Az6E
"Ah..., sure," he said as he brought over the laptop closer.718Please respect copyright.PENANAXXEq2hr3XH
718Please respect copyright.PENANAGoNecK29jH
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANA9oTVV3Ju9T
718Please respect copyright.PENANA7MXiXmQfmu
"Amazing," I looked at him with so much awe. "It's no wonder you're such a great producer."718Please respect copyright.PENANAaaxNIinhPs
718Please respect copyright.PENANAPJZFbga6oV
He chuckled. "Coming from you, that means a lot."718Please respect copyright.PENANAR0fkfKktdu
718Please respect copyright.PENANAANgu0lgarK
"The others should hear this." My ear twitched. "I know you're there, Mike."718Please respect copyright.PENANAnrOBX2jkeh
718Please respect copyright.PENANAElute0iDxD
"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?"718Please respect copyright.PENANA4R0SFlqwMv
718Please respect copyright.PENANAyHOqZ3qNuW
"Because what you've ain't cat feet," I smirked at him. "You've to work a lot harder than that."718Please respect copyright.PENANANXg7SNwbqe
718Please respect copyright.PENANAop3bgYvxZe
"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?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAVEgfBPCNkx
718Please respect copyright.PENANAFekLqEwjZ0
"This," I said as I pressed the play button on the laptop, playing out the instrumental for him.718Please respect copyright.PENANAA4CbMlLU4U
718Please respect copyright.PENANA0uVU58zeel
"Wow," muttered Mike. "But wait..., why does this beat sound familiar?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAbrSQMHEFsZ
718Please respect copyright.PENANAiqNw8Sv5eX
"It's because it's the beat to our song, silly," I said to him.718Please respect copyright.PENANANEzoj7PT0K
718Please respect copyright.PENANApRPoNP2ZcA
"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?"718Please respect copyright.PENANA59b0BO5iGt
718Please respect copyright.PENANAggALmv5Fso
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAMIZcw1N6kP
718Please respect copyright.PENANAiYH0uOPLcJ
"You're amazing," he said as he patted Yong-guk on the shoulder. "This song will be awesome."718Please respect copyright.PENANAilX74og41U
718Please respect copyright.PENANAuz91VM9xrD
"Thanks," he said. "You should be thanking your sister, though."718Please respect copyright.PENANARC1FAhH7ys
718Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5AjmNKSZb
"Huh?" Mike and I looked pluzzled.718Please respect copyright.PENANAG2f1HmsXao
718Please respect copyright.PENANAcMX1VOUJqF
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANA1pFZYEh2px
718Please respect copyright.PENANAyJNy5fgRAo
"Oh...," I forgot he said that. Now it's my turn to blush, and Yong-guk smiled.718Please respect copyright.PENANAf6nOoCHsAO
718Please respect copyright.PENANABGruB6yHWA
"Ya, my sister is a genius," said Mike. "May I join you?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAHvbJyrxtJR
718Please respect copyright.PENANA3OhB5WIF02
"Sure," said Yong-guk. "With you two here, I bet we can work on it together."718Please respect copyright.PENANAFYyoW4mIfP
718Please respect copyright.PENANAzOAr5fPN3q
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAjR86VZEbnt
718Please respect copyright.PENANAxbcozFApX6
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAUiG0cdRvDD
718Please respect copyright.PENANAOJizhKapxK
"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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAgqN2UJCHqW
718Please respect copyright.PENANAD6HFT4kIwT
"Alright, let's start," said Yong-guk.718Please respect copyright.PENANALM9i9QfIEK
718Please respect copyright.PENANA4qoARyjLyI
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAvnmAo7LFzt
718Please respect copyright.PENANAp68qIea71X
"Hey, what's going on here?" Himchan asked as he came to join us.718Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ8GExQv08
718Please respect copyright.PENANAwiDETeeRoB
"We're working on an instrumental," Mike answered.718Please respect copyright.PENANAilqRovwja5
718Please respect copyright.PENANAq3rTptluIQ
"Which one?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAgXPWDWnMvu
718Please respect copyright.PENANAxUVnv6RfPw
"For our song," I answered. "You should hear it, it's really good."718Please respect copyright.PENANADkLLGieziX
718Please respect copyright.PENANAPQBE67pRlY
"Oh, I thought you had run out of ideas for the lyrics."718Please respect copyright.PENANAWnwOUCioB1
718Please respect copyright.PENANAovcqfVNZAa
"Well, I did. Maybe if I continue working on the instrumental, I might come up with them."718Please respect copyright.PENANA1V9KD1nr9M
718Please respect copyright.PENANAbpFlVdhOEl
"How far have you gone doing so?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAysNXTHv3yN
718Please respect copyright.PENANAdpcbaJ2pC3
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAAHykvACa4y
718Please respect copyright.PENANAZN9Teb10Bz
"I agree," said Mike.718Please respect copyright.PENANAoS9pjemj5k
718Please respect copyright.PENANAoZtr7CfY3C
"And you're going to use this instrumental for your album?" Himchan asked.718Please respect copyright.PENANAbQcdCAul1I
718Please respect copyright.PENANA6eES7tzWHW
"Of course we're," I answered, looking back at him. I now understood why he asked and I winced.718Please respect copyright.PENANAaPxIEyS6yX
718Please respect copyright.PENANAUjJKHFe6pL
"What is it, Sam?" Mike asked.718Please respect copyright.PENANAOSOoOBs3CC
718Please respect copyright.PENANAdLLVWcB1d1
"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?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAxTRiaVgibB
718Please respect copyright.PENANARrzIMDGV8m
"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?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAth82M0DX5D
718Please respect copyright.PENANAwsyxkuReWE
"Collins may agree. But what about Yang Hyun-suk?"718Please respect copyright.PENANADVNbs4pgrP
718Please respect copyright.PENANA7SlpqIVbp9
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAHDGtlZYyAk
718Please respect copyright.PENANANluxuY7SbY
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAeIWPdF9jNy
718Please respect copyright.PENANAVAjIYTwRIg
"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?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAdtw0qai2a4
718Please respect copyright.PENANAYOoOvxexy9
"This is your tune and melody, Sam. So, he can't refuse. I mean, the song we did with BigBang was all you too."718Please respect copyright.PENANAdzXp5SMUuP
718Please respect copyright.PENANAsiVRuK04rd
"It was?" Yong-guk and Himchan asked at the same time.718Please respect copyright.PENANAis5mpYfzSt
718Please respect copyright.PENANAqHzFK2A9G9
"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?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAJcE1tPdF2P
718Please respect copyright.PENANAQT35TX5rE5
"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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAudj6xMIbVQ
718Please respect copyright.PENANAFsMWHVeChj
"Does this thing involving me always have to be highlighted?"718Please respect copyright.PENANA6pt7LFnV3n
718Please respect copyright.PENANAlNk3Wlstvq
"Daa, yes! Out of all of us, Yang Hyun-suk approves of you the most. He'll definitely go through with it."718Please respect copyright.PENANApzg8d3iurr
718Please respect copyright.PENANA6DaZAHJTr0
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAX4sLyPHR5X
718Please respect copyright.PENANAPyiTx8RS6Y
"Okay, if that's the case, than what of Yong-guk? Will he really help us through till the end?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAXiOteY76MO
718Please respect copyright.PENANAupRoW9dRzw
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANA2IopvO7bCf
718Please respect copyright.PENANAUgiN6rnUPz
"I'm right here, you guys," said Yong-guk in between Mike and me. "I can clearly hear you."718Please respect copyright.PENANAZbvTKVs5N9
718Please respect copyright.PENANAKlEE6zZcVM
Mike and I turned to look at him, then ignored him like he wasn't there. Himchan chuckled.718Please respect copyright.PENANAsfkz1XPlYB
718Please respect copyright.PENANA9BtU4CKvIm
"You're right," I said. "He'll stay till the end. He's such a good friend for helping us out."718Please respect copyright.PENANA1LrfxP5MRO
718Please respect copyright.PENANANOJh5sbQGq
"I know right," Mike smiled. "He's awesome."718Please respect copyright.PENANAKtZuz7PkjT
718Please respect copyright.PENANAlVSawnCmgK
"I think you better focus on giving Collins a call, Sam," said Yong-guk, trying to sound serious, yet falling to do so.718Please respect copyright.PENANA41ul90ZcMr
718Please respect copyright.PENANAE0SaCj1ROg
"Aww," Himchan complained. "Their conversation was just about to get more interesting."718Please respect copyright.PENANAWpFuODj3Jk
718Please respect copyright.PENANAxFfXIiD98H
I laughed. "He's just trying to hide the fact that he's blushing."718Please respect copyright.PENANARGEu8ui9qt
718Please respect copyright.PENANA0r6nW67nqU
"No, I'm not," said Yong-guk as he folded his arms and looked straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.718Please respect copyright.PENANAe7WUCtTklf
718Please respect copyright.PENANAu0uAa3tPd4
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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAAKTBYWcped
718Please respect copyright.PENANAnT6AItHXiD
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAxR5VEJ6kZu
718Please respect copyright.PENANAbmrAwurUFZ
"I'll be back," I said as I tried to stop laughing. "You better not have that face when I get back, Yong-guk."718Please respect copyright.PENANA98h1w1MeNR
718Please respect copyright.PENANA8TQ9dkMQP9
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAizKjotyNgd
718Please respect copyright.PENANAR88CKRb2HV
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAWxL8I9gqTt
718Please respect copyright.PENANAC1PePsTOhj
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAAkXPLXn7kB
718Please respect copyright.PENANATZFm8FV1Cc
Just when I'm about to cut the call, he picked up at the last minute.718Please respect copyright.PENANAYBl3jOdBWR
718Please respect copyright.PENANARni2913qWv
"Hi, Sam," came his voice. "How's song writing going?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAwTYqPENznO
718Please respect copyright.PENANA3ip9e2xdI6
"Not good, I'm afraid," I said as I scratched the back of my head wondering how to bring up the instrumental thing.718Please respect copyright.PENANAfXAUvYAyY1
718Please respect copyright.PENANA2ix66jNC3J
"You'll figure it out. You do have extra help, don't you?"718Please respect copyright.PENANABNPog6uJj3
718Please respect copyright.PENANAbOgbeFbor3
"I see Lee told you about BAP."718Please respect copyright.PENANAQwjDly2Fza
718Please respect copyright.PENANAuyjmptLszs
"Well, she had to. So what can I do for you?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAcqq23QrJDP
718Please respect copyright.PENANAda2bWlU8fe
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAFYuLf8OLJR
718Please respect copyright.PENANANKkUduc8Pe
"You're already coming up with that?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAwn2g9Nw4DS
718Please respect copyright.PENANAggh2jBWpT6
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."718Please respect copyright.PENANA4w07YPHpYq
718Please respect copyright.PENANAEQg333vpEV
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAcYKwczxK2q
718Please respect copyright.PENANAdcUdHAVJZ9
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAW4W5mUli05
718Please respect copyright.PENANAKlGg4uNnHh
I knew it. I had to say something quick to convince him.718Please respect copyright.PENANA1Acgjiu6JU
718Please respect copyright.PENANAXuRJ9BnVaG
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAEERUmYhSV6
718Please respect copyright.PENANAG4uvwHUHlU
"I believe you. But you know I'm not the only manager in this project of ours."718Please respect copyright.PENANAUztdkRgrKq
718Please respect copyright.PENANAwVyntyA6M8
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANA1oR6zDODAh
718Please respect copyright.PENANAd7Bbn8bpTE
"I don't have to talk to Yang Hyun-suk. He's right here with me. I put you on loud speaker."718Please respect copyright.PENANAr7lt7Wu1Yv
718Please respect copyright.PENANALQUxx7TRJU
I swallowed as I stopped pacing and my heart did one huge beat that I felt my chest hurt.718Please respect copyright.PENANA0MB1HoEmMc
718Please respect copyright.PENANAzMHskSiKZb
"Oh..., good afternoon, Yang Hyun-suk sarangnim," I said quickly, so as not to seem surprised.718Please respect copyright.PENANAuGPpGO96Vv
718Please respect copyright.PENANAl2nVQYQSjL
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAtIKuWycNrO
718Please respect copyright.PENANA6XAwdXzHxA
"And what do you think?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAn3GBAJYPpK
718Please respect copyright.PENANADq3HGpqos3
"Well..., as much as the idea sounds tempting, I would actually refuse."718Please respect copyright.PENANAj5VR2F21ZQ
718Please respect copyright.PENANA1EqafULcHP
My heart sank. I told myself it was worth a try anyway.718Please respect copyright.PENANAx05lWb4kVv
718Please respect copyright.PENANAKumtgwUDNg
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAyodwB1zt67
718Please respect copyright.PENANAcoEYIDPBD3
"Really!" I cried out in excitement. I can't believe he actually agreed.718Please respect copyright.PENANA8JCesAR9ed
718Please respect copyright.PENANAhXY0APvCLo
"Let's not forget that we're the ones that have the final say. If it's good, then we will proceed."718Please respect copyright.PENANAu1ErHvDZzU
718Please respect copyright.PENANAVjXFtgHDoU
"Thank you!" I said with so much excitement. I could hear the two managers chuckle to themselves. "I promise you won't be disappointed."718Please respect copyright.PENANAw3hGTtXMoj
718Please respect copyright.PENANAxkOH3wkMk2
"Make us proud, Sam," said Collins. "I hope you'll be able to come up with lyrics."718Please respect copyright.PENANARuQLnQQPSi
718Please respect copyright.PENANAbCwqvMZzVd
"I will. Thank you once again."718Please respect copyright.PENANAskZW81w2bB
718Please respect copyright.PENANAjf5197T9xj
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAEYpEfJkPgK
718Please respect copyright.PENANANvuTnNlz3K
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAMoMdfd3BMF
718Please respect copyright.PENANAb806rw02QO
"What's the news?" Mike asked as he looked at me.718Please respect copyright.PENANA9g9R9iz5Bu
718Please respect copyright.PENANA5BIdI8apkX
"I hope it's good," said Himchan.718Please respect copyright.PENANAgOR3GTUc7J
718Please respect copyright.PENANAMOFTbTGt9l
"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.718Please respect copyright.PENANA5NZkRGcvtE
718Please respect copyright.PENANAwvxBrwGYwx
"They agreed," I answered.718Please respect copyright.PENANA72g7iugq9v
718Please respect copyright.PENANAqzPnOWVMrY
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAxTJqPmabje
718Please respect copyright.PENANA74bUDtvuzS
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAeW4aGGhORa
718Please respect copyright.PENANA5yDtF2hjAB
"Ya, I'm also anxious to know what you're all talking about," said Daehyun.718Please respect copyright.PENANAEmBpQAkWF8
718Please respect copyright.PENANAff64DGNJv4
"Me too," said Zoey. "What did I miss?"718Please respect copyright.PENANAGolJ4xsyD0
718Please respect copyright.PENANAeGrr1JjNKD
"A lot," I answered.718Please respect copyright.PENANAg9nJdOKedD
718Please respect copyright.PENANAWPlLnHWe3r
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.718Please respect copyright.PENANAbRNlXO6vlG
718Please respect copyright.PENANAraXsVyHN7i
"Wow, that's awesome," said Zelo.718Please respect copyright.PENANA0uHOrXBcwj
718Please respect copyright.PENANAUy9Gzsee6X
"You see how the managers just love you, Sam?" Mike asked.718Please respect copyright.PENANApf4tvcZZJQ
718Please respect copyright.PENANAAN1OykGlKz
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAeCmIVC5Z81
718Please respect copyright.PENANAkAAZ0mfk0p
"But for them to agree its because they know Yong-guk is an awesome producer," said Himchan. "No doubt it will be lit."718Please respect copyright.PENANAS1JEAxNgoV
718Please respect copyright.PENANAYdsQJsdDYx
"I agree with Himchan," said Zoey. "And besides, it's more of Sam's original, so they can't say no."718Please respect copyright.PENANAfqShcbLt5S
718Please respect copyright.PENANASMSSPcSVq5
"Okay, we just need to focus on the instrumental and hopefully come up with the lyrics," I said.718Please respect copyright.PENANAaUl9vQKYmo
718Please respect copyright.PENANAAQs1LIt2m2
"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."718Please respect copyright.PENANAEmcBcrMopj
718Please respect copyright.PENANAkfqHSxX3ZC
"Okay," I said as I rubbed my hands together. "Toxins, get over here by the console, please."718Please respect copyright.PENANAifCFJgFkrn
718Please respect copyright.PENANAbOSO0RRb7s
"Okay," said Christine and Zoey as they both stood up from the couch and quickly came over.718Please respect copyright.PENANAVdKSOj9Rz1
718Please respect copyright.PENANAypGBD761Su
"We will be here to help in anyway we can," said Young-jae.718Please respect copyright.PENANAbtAX0ya3WY
718Please respect copyright.PENANAhkElivW7Bx
"Thanks, guys," I said with a smile. I went over to sit back on my chair next to Yong-guk.718Please respect copyright.PENANAnEOMcoOZkQ
718Please respect copyright.PENANAJgc27lVsom
"Okay," said Yong-guk. "Let's continue where we ended, shall we?"
