"Okay, so here are the lyrics for the song," I said after writing them down.631Please respect copyright.PENANAQlJa3kyxqA
631Please respect copyright.PENANABSk26YpvAc
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAaKYwVG3bkd
631Please respect copyright.PENANAuJutPdsinS
"Just admit it," said Zoey, "the song is awesome."631Please respect copyright.PENANAui8LWfrCvc
631Please respect copyright.PENANAV61xqpCZ6U
"Zoey." Christine gave her a look that told her to keep quiet. "Let the others take it in first."631Please respect copyright.PENANAiXY78VHTFh
631Please respect copyright.PENANANkDD6FMq0s
"Zoey's right," said Daehyun. "The lyrics are great."631Please respect copyright.PENANA7nZNbm1uXm
631Please respect copyright.PENANATfeMRhCzk2
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANA7HPgfPnvio
631Please respect copyright.PENANAZaYmH1iVJl
"You should listen to the tune," said Mike. "You'll love it."631Please respect copyright.PENANAWaCdgQa7OD
631Please respect copyright.PENANAjkFdqbXWCS
"I bet that's why you went searching for the guitar," said Jongup as he looked at me.631Please respect copyright.PENANA6DHaSDV18T
631Please respect copyright.PENANAE2cJ42Y8HO
"Play the guitar, Sam," Himchan insisted. "We're all dying to hear it. I bet Yong-guk can't wait any longer."631Please respect copyright.PENANAipg3CnZLAN
631Please respect copyright.PENANAWSGvCrds6I
"Huh?" Yong-guk looked at Himchan beside him, looking confused. "No, I'm not."631Please respect copyright.PENANAVzi3B1cyNr
631Please respect copyright.PENANAng5RPK0Xls
"Of course you are," said Yong-nam as he gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "Don't forget, I'm your twin."631Please respect copyright.PENANAt9yfpnzsYb
631Please respect copyright.PENANAPhodX5Xk93
"Okay," I said as I took the guitar that had been laying on the table the whole time. "Let me play it, then."631Please respect copyright.PENANAmGViumzVRe
631Please respect copyright.PENANAu66UdmDQXu
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAJrxqFmYebX
631Please respect copyright.PENANAUnzBcH7Id8
"Wow," said Young-jae, looking at me like he's just seen something's dazzled him. "The song's going to sound awesome."631Please respect copyright.PENANAItIpMIhjgk
631Please respect copyright.PENANA4aOK34tKd5
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAhlzE4HXnDY
631Please respect copyright.PENANA1Is05DTR9K
"Alright," said Yong-guk, looking to see what I was writing on the paper. "Whatever it is, I bet we can handle it."631Please respect copyright.PENANAsZa7Weagmf
631Please respect copyright.PENANA1JKC9pahyh
"Can't wait to see you try," said Christine. "But then again, if it's you two l'm not worried."631Please respect copyright.PENANA14lZ8iBROk
631Please respect copyright.PENANAbLeuCbtdp6
"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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAmIRGpYtzr2
631Please respect copyright.PENANAPuzQQtZCPP
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAhKw9RlDJgE
631Please respect copyright.PENANAjez9Ly8HEy
"Come on, Jongup," Zelo complained. "You're distracting Sam. We all want to hear what she has written."631Please respect copyright.PENANAPvZIqbelY4
631Please respect copyright.PENANAd9wcsxgC5M
"I don't think that I'm distracting her," said Jongup as he looked at Zelo. "Right, Sam?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAWytfx97GDz
631Please respect copyright.PENANAZYu1hiAhw2
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAJXcjorLb5O
631Please respect copyright.PENANAECgu1jtgvu
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAcHFkSwwJub
631Please respect copyright.PENANAMkZmhaQP3z
"What's wrong, Sam?" he asked.631Please respect copyright.PENANA1EoAjgVUtZ
631Please respect copyright.PENANA5ywrVKNatL
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAIsVLLIwFGF
631Please respect copyright.PENANAejFPQm70Xb
"Goodness, Jongup," said Mike, "you almost kissed my sister."631Please respect copyright.PENANAl394kjvyI6
631Please respect copyright.PENANAB7bN2Dr3KG
And it just had to be Mike. Goodness, me!631Please respect copyright.PENANAVue3gMCs93
631Please respect copyright.PENANAbzjjHhm2Mx
"Huh?" Jongup looked surprised. "I did?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAGwTx3KGaW6
631Please respect copyright.PENANA5BCSFVeap6
"And you were this close," said Zoey indicating a tiny space with her index finger and thumb.631Please respect copyright.PENANAN3Cvw4dPgN
631Please respect copyright.PENANAuVyotgpTtP
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAK8shec3tc7
631Please respect copyright.PENANAh4xbBmJaP0
"You see, I told you so," said Zelo.631Please respect copyright.PENANAjyohC6zNkM
631Please respect copyright.PENANAEMHjTHmBqk
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAgzDj9jj6VT
631Please respect copyright.PENANASXvNTuYkVh
Yong-nam cleared his throat. "Not at all," he answered. "You're actually pretty light."631Please respect copyright.PENANAripnOryejW
631Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4PL2y2aEx
I nervously laughed, not sure whether he meant it or not.631Please respect copyright.PENANAaUZq6wpsYf
631Please respect copyright.PENANAJtzFREEopE
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANA5F1XEuQ6cY
631Please respect copyright.PENANAAa0P86vKxh
"You're such a fantasist, Zoey," said Daniel as he shook his head.631Please respect copyright.PENANAAAtOWSQYcX
631Please respect copyright.PENANAqhf21PXxDM
"Don't mind her," I said. "Can we forget the kissing incident and focus on the song, please?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAzBh4wByLEv
631Please respect copyright.PENANAkl7IDjEThP
"Sure," said Mike. "That's if we can reset Zoey's brain or else she won't stop talking about it."631Please respect copyright.PENANATDAb5I5Ami
631Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6hBci2m4x
"Are you saying that I'm kookoo?" Zoey asked, looking at Mike.631Please respect copyright.PENANAExjXljW92g
631Please respect copyright.PENANAqZjRfxIf4D
"You can argue later, you two," I said, giving them a look. "Let's try and focus."631Please respect copyright.PENANA22MMDDUvH8
631Please respect copyright.PENANABKrcEb8yoj
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAm6VjsVOaAx
631Please respect copyright.PENANALBLmIMFR25
"Is it just me or something's just off?" Young-jae asked.631Please respect copyright.PENANAdnXieF5pQ6
631Please respect copyright.PENANAC4qCe6D7Mb
"I think I feel what you mean," said Zoey as she scratched her head.631Please respect copyright.PENANA08TxcYJ9Ip
631Please respect copyright.PENANApt0xEHSpCf
"Huh? What's Zoey saying?" Himchan asked.631Please respect copyright.PENANA5nNOz8JgPV
631Please respect copyright.PENANAb16Nx3seUz
"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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAg36GqxmwuK
631Please respect copyright.PENANAS87wQ2R1Y0
"I feel we aren't working like we did the first time," said Christine.631Please respect copyright.PENANAUzNl0rZujk
631Please respect copyright.PENANA4hsRPWz41I
"Ya, that's what I meant," said Zoey.631Please respect copyright.PENANAWV19rqPrFo
631Please respect copyright.PENANAl8GILbA5dB
"We just aren't coming up with the right lyrics," said Yong-guk, "that's all."631Please respect copyright.PENANAAMEMfVeL1L
631Please respect copyright.PENANAYQOPcIJPYR
"Why is that?" Himchan asked.631Please respect copyright.PENANAtYNiKd57i3
631Please respect copyright.PENANAFVFIDz0nvI
"Who knows," said Daniel. "What do you think, Sam?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAtFeGGNtywF
631Please respect copyright.PENANAepRktBJIs0
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAiUBLIRfJwV
631Please respect copyright.PENANArCRFvG8wTa
"You look like you're about to cry, Sam," said Jongup.631Please respect copyright.PENANAWpEB97WL4c
631Please respect copyright.PENANAdRvJC7uLcM
"Don't mind me," I said. "I'm frustrated that we're going nowhere."631Please respect copyright.PENANAtRtLBu5ECl
631Please respect copyright.PENANAEjQSn7MS36
"Maybe we're all just tired," said Zelo.631Please respect copyright.PENANAbPMnLotSI4
631Please respect copyright.PENANA7VzOxxQEs4
"I felt we rested enough," said Daehyun.631Please respect copyright.PENANAXo5voolXuJ
631Please respect copyright.PENANAPDtyypVkGZ
"Or maybe we've been in the same place for too long," I suggested. "Sometimes the environment contributes greatly."631Please respect copyright.PENANAhzgFj9CNWC
631Please respect copyright.PENANAEx1kKtH7QC
"Maybe," said Yong-guk.631Please respect copyright.PENANA7xCghO4Psm
631Please respect copyright.PENANAQspYmBCzfl
"What do you think, Yong-nam?" Christine asked as she turned to look at him.631Please respect copyright.PENANA88XUsbVLXw
631Please respect copyright.PENANAiO0VgXuWyT
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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAm3S8r5yMW8
631Please respect copyright.PENANAt43abi1uIs
"Tomorrow?" Daniel looked shocked at the idea. "Won't that be a little too late for us?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAWCUM1lJ9XD
631Please respect copyright.PENANAt1nfzi0VEw
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAtAC7lmJ1bt
631Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4ILx5L5fU
"Not forgetting that we should at least have something to present to Yang Hyun-suk," said Zoey.631Please respect copyright.PENANA985C8iNsoy
631Please respect copyright.PENANA8Sw072v5zZ
"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.631Please respect copyright.PENANARMGSwzhqrK
631Please respect copyright.PENANAZUSfvdimcd
"Now I wish we never had to make an album," said Zoey as she leaned back on the chair and sighed.631Please respect copyright.PENANAtHK4R3lL6x
631Please respect copyright.PENANArU1uLvrb69
"Wow, you guys are working on an album?" Jongup asked.631Please respect copyright.PENANA6zjKETutoG
631Please respect copyright.PENANA00S5XmjZoc
"Yep," I answered as I lifted my face up from my hands. "Our managers are ambitious."631Please respect copyright.PENANAuwwheJBsss
631Please respect copyright.PENANAAy3quQLKrV
"At least we don't have to worry about the other songs," said Zoey.631Please respect copyright.PENANAm3mDMkXq3a
631Please respect copyright.PENANACqHbXIh0q9
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAzpnqOsv9cB
631Please respect copyright.PENANA1y0aGGqNBl
"I think we should take a little break," said Yong-nam.631Please respect copyright.PENANAfnChoeZQLF
631Please respect copyright.PENANA43Co8HHkOD
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?631Please respect copyright.PENANAJuGp0XQnkO
631Please respect copyright.PENANA329k0oiQBp
"You're scaring me, Sam," I heard Yong-guk say.631Please respect copyright.PENANAzym5aEdgof
631Please respect copyright.PENANA7U3BKMIOux
"Oh, don't mind her," said Zoey. "She started this and finding a way to finish it is frustrating."631Please respect copyright.PENANAsywKYEnFzE
631Please respect copyright.PENANAGWLoXp6c5h
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAFuJN2e4Kxt
631Please respect copyright.PENANAsywyo9SbBL
"Wait..., does this mean we won't have the reward Lee was talking about?" I heard Daniel ask.631Please respect copyright.PENANAT8KRasglOZ
631Please respect copyright.PENANAjRHSrRh0Ql
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAyCvBL12VwY
631Please respect copyright.PENANA8WREq8FxBe
"Don't worry about that, Daniel," I said. "Lee will give us that reward."631Please respect copyright.PENANAblMpC6nTP7
631Please respect copyright.PENANA9UWVbVCmt8
"For someone who seems tired, you sound pretty confident," said Himchan.631Please respect copyright.PENANAVjb3uhgg9U
631Please respect copyright.PENANA9OGRUMyDcx
"I just know." I smiled at him as I shrugged my shoulders.631Please respect copyright.PENANABRKAU6C0Tt
631Please respect copyright.PENANA3F4cmsOdjk
"Do you've any idea what it could be?" Daniel asked.631Please respect copyright.PENANAj4F1kxNAZn
631Please respect copyright.PENANAvY0BuB9Ya3
I shook my head. It's best it turns out as a surprise.631Please respect copyright.PENANADh98GxAqUV
631Please respect copyright.PENANA7VUUKqIcGE
"So, what are we going to do now?" Zelo asked. "Just sit and do nothing?"631Please respect copyright.PENANA1EQZvRmkNc
631Please respect copyright.PENANAFdJxCWleEB
"We can do something fun to pass the time," Christine suggested.631Please respect copyright.PENANAbzHmiHao3I
631Please respect copyright.PENANA5dk4HTckEJ
"Not me," I went back to lying down on the floor.631Please respect copyright.PENANA4mt5BQnqiR
631Please respect copyright.PENANAEsGKpWz0zc
No one said a word. I could feel a few eyes on me, while others, I'm guessing, gave each other looks.631Please respect copyright.PENANAxEuQcqXJrn
631Please respect copyright.PENANAZvJLadJD0N
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "You're such a party pooper."631Please respect copyright.PENANACquFSlU8F1
631Please respect copyright.PENANADT463cv7NR
"Haven't heard you call me that in a while," I said as I smiled at the ceiling.631Please respect copyright.PENANA9trZxMfoER
631Please respect copyright.PENANAVL2EeTIZ86
"Get up, will you? This is no time to be lying down."631Please respect copyright.PENANA1mmJXLy19T
631Please respect copyright.PENANAEICzqM8XvP
"There's nothing wrong with lying down to rest, is there?"631Please respect copyright.PENANARtgWdTOIdw
631Please respect copyright.PENANAg3sHdiqjCx
"Goodness, me." Zoey sounded frustrated. She couldn't argue over that and she knew it.631Please respect copyright.PENANA1rFn4hLcj4
631Please respect copyright.PENANAxWhLUIEgxh
"Maybe we should call Lee to pick us up," Mike suggested.631Please respect copyright.PENANA1nGE62Uidt
631Please respect copyright.PENANAMfyg6swjA8
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAmkwL1nutcx
631Please respect copyright.PENANAm4MXZqAgcK
I heard Zelo and Daehyun chuckle while I heard Christine and Zoey mutter out in frustration.631Please respect copyright.PENANAm9AIJUw4e5
631Please respect copyright.PENANAAsL8BHjHqf
"Looks like you're stuck here with us until Lee comes to pick you up," I heard Yong-guk say.631Please respect copyright.PENANASOwQj3sWjr
631Please respect copyright.PENANAbxADd5ofRO
"But we can't sit here doing nothing," said Daniel. "Like Christine said, we better find something to do."631Please respect copyright.PENANAL7NLTkyN5s
631Please respect copyright.PENANACoZ2fRJUVy
"You should be resting," I suggested, my eyes still closed.631Please respect copyright.PENANAM7gqGp7UqT
631Please respect copyright.PENANA78iIUKGiJy
"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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAKEA33BTBMY
631Please respect copyright.PENANAqXkS4HHLoO
I smiled. "Suit yourself."631Please respect copyright.PENANAWvBYnPo9N5
631Please respect copyright.PENANAS8w1qXx8gZ
"No one wants to do karaoke in the recording booth?" Jongup suggested.631Please respect copyright.PENANAd0rMTKIVab
631Please respect copyright.PENANAwVJvrVUrJS
"I think we've done enough singing for one day," said Daehyun.631Please respect copyright.PENANAWwCcrgBBDJ
631Please respect copyright.PENANACuxjQXhJWg
"I agree," said Zoey.631Please respect copyright.PENANAC4Vl8VOLIJ
631Please respect copyright.PENANA5O52gVpJ7w
"If there's clearly nothing to do, then I think we should be resting like Sam's doing right now," said Yong-guk.631Please respect copyright.PENANA9fT4Wb2tIj
631Please respect copyright.PENANAoGf3PN0mf5
"I like your thinking," I said with my eyes closed. I raised my hand to give him a thumbs up.631Please respect copyright.PENANAafp2BEvbPc
631Please respect copyright.PENANAgMNo54ZLfE
"You songwriters all think the same," I heard Christine mutter.631Please respect copyright.PENANAwEb80DKwcx
631Please respect copyright.PENANAGNob0ynGKH
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANA1Soun42eHk
631Please respect copyright.PENANACG8abeg9Sh
"Huh? Not you too, Mike," said Zoey, sounding surprised.631Please respect copyright.PENANAlxOkQcaaJj
631Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ks0vEFKJz
"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?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAvIPtf7woco
631Please respect copyright.PENANAU57Si9lH1l
"I shouldn't be surprised coming from you."631Please respect copyright.PENANACCoEfdifsa
631Please respect copyright.PENANA3al7tPOJ27
"Ya, ya, ya, Zoey. I'm the bad guy here. Doesn't matter now, does it?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAZrozTFSXhu
631Please respect copyright.PENANAI1liG2yqWb
"Well, if there's nothing for you guys to do at the moment, then I'm going to work on something," said Yong-guk.631Please respect copyright.PENANALSWkEup6S7
631Please respect copyright.PENANASYxtBukHLJ
"And what could that be?" Young-jae asked.631Please respect copyright.PENANAqBzJO7Un34
631Please respect copyright.PENANAgL82eKEyGg
"Our song, of course."631Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5YtpaFVWy
631Please respect copyright.PENANAN7f8LMd3C5
"You go ahead and do that," I said.631Please respect copyright.PENANAucztjq6eH7
631Please respect copyright.PENANAQntq5LtLd4
There came an awkward pause and I opened one eye to look at him.631Please respect copyright.PENANALarvA4KAi5
631Please respect copyright.PENANA2LyapfoEzD
"You look surprised, Yong-guk," said Yong-nam. He took the words right out of my mouth.631Please respect copyright.PENANAnFpOtGN6e9
631Please respect copyright.PENANAcZbebNOgWn
"I thought that would get Sam up from the floor since she seems to really like helping out," said Yong-guk.631Please respect copyright.PENANAZSAQlfq8L4
631Please respect copyright.PENANA8iLbNXyXPJ
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAxPV8ok2Rhb
631Please respect copyright.PENANACE3Glh3akn
"Okay, then," said Yong-guk. "And you, Mike?"631Please respect copyright.PENANA2EeNGWmpyw
631Please respect copyright.PENANAuABegyoosB
"I'll pass too," said Mike.631Please respect copyright.PENANAhxRBQbruSP
631Please respect copyright.PENANAyYqYstlFHH
"Okay. I'll be by the console. Any of you guys want to join me?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAobKHkfACEf
631Please respect copyright.PENANACrdJWH9TqQ
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAiLe5Jcj5YK
631Please respect copyright.PENANA3d1CGB9siV
"I'm going to relax over here too," said Young-jae.631Please respect copyright.PENANAldHgqmDT6p
631Please respect copyright.PENANA874541mtl4
"What's up with everyone?" Yong-guk asked, sounding surprised.631Please respect copyright.PENANAWP64ilcqs0
631Please respect copyright.PENANASlM9fD8URX
"Like Yong-nam said, we're tired," I said as I sat up. "The best thing to do right now is relax."631Please respect copyright.PENANArJNUbEcmda
631Please respect copyright.PENANAix7Mwq1zo2
"Aren't you worried about not making progress on your song?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAej13wydBYV
631Please respect copyright.PENANAkA6s0so3fu
"I was about to ask the same question," said Zoey with a sulky look on her face. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAuTjjU9J85b
631Please respect copyright.PENANAZoV3V0AOXs
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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAjpSq8aRFFB
631Please respect copyright.PENANAY4fz1DKgEA
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANADfOub4kCF3
631Please respect copyright.PENANAJRkdx3iC12
"You of all people shouldn't even be sleeping," said Yong-guk.631Please respect copyright.PENANAxP4tnw5cZ3
631Please respect copyright.PENANAeoFJkXaVhd
I laughed. As much as I wanted to hear these two brothers argue, it ended there. I went back to sleeping on the floor.631Please respect copyright.PENANAqxvbvgpDgq
631Please respect copyright.PENANAKUiUhzCtE9
"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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAKP7sASOTMG
631Please respect copyright.PENANApxszom5vII
"Looks like the majority wins," said Himchan as he chuckled.631Please respect copyright.PENANAZkc0u9PR0e
631Please respect copyright.PENANAWQ0tg332g7
Zoey mourned in frustration. Even I could tell she's tired. She had no choice but to give in.631Please respect copyright.PENANA06LCwNkCqX
631Please respect copyright.PENANAjmmNnrDoCZ
"Oh, man!" Daniel muttered out loud.631Please respect copyright.PENANADikgLAsXlT
631Please respect copyright.PENANAiAHV8DFVDE
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAEghfr8jYeX
631Please respect copyright.PENANA2ewq6SnA1S
"Sorry, guys," he said. He quickly looked up from his phone when he noticed people's eyes on him. "Playing a game over here."631Please respect copyright.PENANAUvflxK6Ak1
631Please respect copyright.PENANAHaRizvCGzE
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANA0dnJGDbMvD
631Please respect copyright.PENANAFoQaQV5ner
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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAeXODaBStRL
631Please respect copyright.PENANAGDDqf9vhdC
"I think I'll have a little shut-eye," said Christine.631Please respect copyright.PENANAadvdouivDZ
631Please respect copyright.PENANAbcqEPPnyQI
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAu0OiiP0ABB
631Please respect copyright.PENANAiTTMh3SBd7
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAnVHuySAGYB
631Please respect copyright.PENANAfH4H0VLvrP
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANA1K5WkKb9Im
631Please respect copyright.PENANA05By2BxPwv
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANA1NTJ2Htd1g
631Please respect copyright.PENANApFbG9mo6hd
"Hey, Sam?" I heard Jongup call me. "Are you asleep?"631Please respect copyright.PENANApMRZrlEid6
631Please respect copyright.PENANArY1Kpstifn
"No," I answered. I drew my eyes open and looked at him. "What is it?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAc1i0WusTG8
631Please respect copyright.PENANAotImcZcCXm
"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.631Please respect copyright.PENANATm9g6oNz0Q
631Please respect copyright.PENANADD0aDUERvp
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAyIc5JwJszl
631Please respect copyright.PENANA72oG8D9p8Q
"I know," said Jongup. "You should see this previous one. It will knock your socks off."631Please respect copyright.PENANA5bap0BEi3G
631Please respect copyright.PENANAnGKQUi9Hqu
I joined Jongup in watching more cat videos. We soon moved on to watch people participate in various dance challenges.631Please respect copyright.PENANA0Pqy64FY00
631Please respect copyright.PENANAxmyM1zZSuU
"We should've a dance challenge one day," I said to Jongup as we watched.631Please respect copyright.PENANAK1HIGAgnDr
631Please respect copyright.PENANAFTAIfui5sC
"Huh?" he turned to look at me. "We should've a dance challenge?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAH52X06LfFq
631Please respect copyright.PENANAHIIu95ZFps
"Ya. I mean The Toxins vs BAP."631Please respect copyright.PENANANwr93YkcVG
631Please respect copyright.PENANAvVx1I2HJnh
"Oh..., like the one you had with Monsta X?"631Please respect copyright.PENANA3IucvHBIxG
631Please respect copyright.PENANA4wRrapl3Ma
"Yes, like that one. You watched it?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAEEI6f40X6q
631Please respect copyright.PENANAv94NnZaI7e
"I think a lot of us did. People really liked it."631Please respect copyright.PENANAprjrJ7QjeS
631Please respect copyright.PENANAsCvAizijfx
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAL2g3ZaGiDR
631Please respect copyright.PENANANCVYJJhlw5
"Oh, you've an album to work on."631Please respect copyright.PENANASqXo1lLWjz
631Please respect copyright.PENANAzjB5aCulfh
I stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Just thinking about it drains me." I went back to looking at his phone.631Please respect copyright.PENANAsgJWQnfYL4
631Please respect copyright.PENANAhoYA0d2YFg
"Did I hear someone talk about having a dance challenge with BAP?" Zoey asked.631Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1D9LBGogW
631Please respect copyright.PENANASEUa2Uj4xh
I raised my head a little and saw Zoey still on her phone.631Please respect copyright.PENANAWoyYNZKotA
631Please respect copyright.PENANAhsP2FPNip4
"Yes, I said that," I said as I dropped my head and stared at Jongup's phone.631Please respect copyright.PENANABQJP8rHMAj
631Please respect copyright.PENANAglMX4dMdQM
"Why not do so now?"631Please respect copyright.PENANACATztXYwvm
631Please respect copyright.PENANA63yumVewg6
"No!" Christine, Mike and I said out loud at the same time.631Please respect copyright.PENANAX4XARgEX5H
631Please respect copyright.PENANAx9Hltp03FO
"Eish, guys. It's why I asked. You don't have to eat me alive."631Please respect copyright.PENANArxaC8Seniy
631Please respect copyright.PENANARLCCXAM2Mk
Himchan and the other BAP members around the table started to chuckle.631Please respect copyright.PENANAi70txTDuVj
631Please respect copyright.PENANAegsy07Q6IV
"You Toxins really are something," said Himchan. "You do know that the majority of you opposed, right?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAZQtWiFCXjg
631Please respect copyright.PENANAyRqIpo4P6f
"Except Daniel," said Zelo.631Please respect copyright.PENANAXqCGOfNBl8
631Please respect copyright.PENANAOSadGAHPQ8
"Oh, I refuse too," said Daniel, still on his phone.631Please respect copyright.PENANAeSPzOib1d2
631Please respect copyright.PENANA9ALU6SQo6L
Zoey tsked. "You guys are no fun."631Please respect copyright.PENANAaXF6h45Ip3
631Please respect copyright.PENANArn51oMHT0S
"Use logic, Zoey," said Christine. "We're all tired and don't have the energy for a dance challenge."631Please respect copyright.PENANAEBc0x59aZO
631Please respect copyright.PENANA9YAqTeODWf
"I know that. I thought maybe someone's in the mood for it."631Please respect copyright.PENANAmFf8PnmoRM
631Please respect copyright.PENANAt2dcQPL9CO
"No one is in the mood for it," said Mike.631Please respect copyright.PENANAITN0Qjv8IJ
631Please respect copyright.PENANA8WVGqKv8w6
"And what if the BAP members were?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAcPnKYHwcvo
631Please respect copyright.PENANAVvE1wk8VRO
I heard Daehyun nervously chuckle. "To be honest, Zoey," he said, "I'm definitely not in the mood."631Please respect copyright.PENANAoCOE3KesJf
631Please respect copyright.PENANACPtXDQ7tPJ
"Me too," said Young-jae.631Please respect copyright.PENANAaZZX5UoD6I
631Please respect copyright.PENANA7EGPzj2SxH
"Me three," said Zelo.631Please respect copyright.PENANAYs3I2pEmDb
631Please respect copyright.PENANAVL1b2uYyqN
"Guess I don't have to ask you, Himchan," said Zoey, sounding unimpressed.631Please respect copyright.PENANAdSgIFE7sIC
631Please respect copyright.PENANAzrnQY7rX4A
Himchan, just like Daehyun, nervously chuckled too.631Please respect copyright.PENANAtBcdHIa4VK
631Please respect copyright.PENANAGH4NDxJriN
"You can ask Yong-guk," Zelo suggested.631Please respect copyright.PENANAw4ks4buE6l
631Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2smNsMyFn
"Nah. He's already busy and I don't like to be a bother."631Please respect copyright.PENANAbpORbZulD1
631Please respect copyright.PENANA8S0LJtYqP6
"Really?" Mike asked. Uh-oh. I smell an argument brewing. "You bother a lot of us everyday."631Please respect copyright.PENANAjIrh20eqNu
631Please respect copyright.PENANAxvRIF63fCK
"What did you say!?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAMasAtwM25B
631Please respect copyright.PENANAS5TXBbMUXU
"Quiet down, Zoey," said Christine. "You're disturbing Yong-nam. He's probably asleep."631Please respect copyright.PENANAUlC8c9wGYr
631Please respect copyright.PENANAmCNeMoxptp
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAjHPaErjQKv
631Please respect copyright.PENANArlFt3o0jTY
"I bet he isn't," said Zoey. "Is he, Sam?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAkrt1LwYyqz
631Please respect copyright.PENANACJrXPrCoHI
"Huh?" I got a little caught off guard as I didn't answer Zoey's question.631Please respect copyright.PENANAsULYB8qzMo
631Please respect copyright.PENANARLluJTprbm
"Is he awake?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAkLfM8bkUqO
631Please respect copyright.PENANAUTna76oIyT
"Not sure," I answered. "He would've said something if he was."631Please respect copyright.PENANAJcMaRLZgtS
631Please respect copyright.PENANAI5I4ghU9Rh
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAuDnigJYlIl
631Please respect copyright.PENANAmB7pfdwVSn
"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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAsieNaldfdw
631Please respect copyright.PENANAWLlcQlhbnS
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "It's what you said, Mike. How am I a bother to you?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAmQOWpSnLJN
631Please respect copyright.PENANAYwLWz6mtfj
"You're being a bother right now. I'm trying to rest and you're disturbing me."631Please respect copyright.PENANATPX7HwsxTY
631Please respect copyright.PENANALxrhPo5s3C
Zoey hissed that I thought a snake had magically appeared in the room. If she was one, no doubt she would attack Mike first.631Please respect copyright.PENANA013qZj8mxL
631Please respect copyright.PENANA1kQyG02v67
"Enough," said Christine. "No one wants to see or hear you two fight."631Please respect copyright.PENANANa10OaJbsH
631Please respect copyright.PENANAbasCRMDhxH
"Mike started it," said Zoey.631Please respect copyright.PENANAk9oQ8MeFyf
631Please respect copyright.PENANAplP7ibeeoO
"You amplified it," said Mike. "You always do."631Please respect copyright.PENANAl5Y5Rc45o4
631Please respect copyright.PENANABjEvKOZiIV
"For once I agree with Mike," I said. "Let it go, Zoey."631Please respect copyright.PENANAwEh203MvY2
631Please respect copyright.PENANAxM1UNOuw0U
"You guys are unbelievable," said Zoey.631Please respect copyright.PENANAOXJY03OOQw
631Please respect copyright.PENANAiC0eiqjy3Z
"You're unbelievable," said Himchan as he chuckled. "You really are a drama queen. No offense."631Please respect copyright.PENANAWar6yUwkFS
631Please respect copyright.PENANAXojZK6zpvm
"None taken. These guys call me that all the time."631Please respect copyright.PENANApvc8O7K5vk
631Please respect copyright.PENANA4bgmMBxl05
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAGXrfnZc5gO
631Please respect copyright.PENANAf5QLsm2HHb
I stretched out my arms and stood up, stretching my whole body.631Please respect copyright.PENANA8NcLwlL8xT
631Please respect copyright.PENANAlObI3obA9g
"I've had enough of watching Instagram videos," I told Jongup.631Please respect copyright.PENANAvfacGbKjcu
631Please respect copyright.PENANAN2L2DROrNe
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAti42sIvgAf
631Please respect copyright.PENANADrnZtqddkc
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAZDaQVs6sQe
631Please respect copyright.PENANAwziVnXTsis
"Hey, there," I said to him when I got behind him. I bent over to look at him from the side of his face.631Please respect copyright.PENANA1zfeXaLEuZ
631Please respect copyright.PENANAv2EwkFzj2x
"Oh, Sam," he looked up at me, surprised. "I didn't hear you coming."631Please respect copyright.PENANAaeMIKaO4m2
631Please respect copyright.PENANAKQGkSzd1Ms
"I've cat feet," I said as I took the empty seat next to him.631Please respect copyright.PENANAJIJywazdVp
631Please respect copyright.PENANAzXAv3AO7Oq
"Cat feet?"631Please respect copyright.PENANA6i3LIF3Oqt
631Please respect copyright.PENANAXNfl6LwBKx
"I'm told there are times when people don't hear me coming so they say I've cat feet. I sometimes scare them."631Please respect copyright.PENANAOhPzwVDxCz
631Please respect copyright.PENANA6J3cCiNKs3
"Oh, I see."631Please respect copyright.PENANAwADXE6QVyj
631Please respect copyright.PENANAphzB8Fw0qe
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAURMqpBBh1o
631Please respect copyright.PENANAXlonBOgPKQ
"I'll keep that in mind," said Yong-guk as he turned to smile at her.631Please respect copyright.PENANAuYrZvImJv1
631Please respect copyright.PENANAMZhpUp635v
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAp6ZCRx6EfK
631Please respect copyright.PENANAw8GOz8kdFk
"I'm not working on our song," said Yong-guk as he went to work on the laptop.631Please respect copyright.PENANAcsMffvMm19
631Please respect copyright.PENANA1d1ZTmj5je
"Then, what are you working on?" I raised my eyebrow at him.631Please respect copyright.PENANAJ22oRyET3V
631Please respect copyright.PENANACR1jwue7UF
"On your song," he answered.631Please respect copyright.PENANA8WuBrJlbiI
631Please respect copyright.PENANASgTQvy7ylB
"Huh?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAzu6rEYeW9U
631Please respect copyright.PENANArsPihBKFBT
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAwvmJfJ8rws
631Please respect copyright.PENANAXuTGBVE5Th
"Wow." I'm surprised. I didn't think Yong-guk would go this far. I didn't even know what to say.631Please respect copyright.PENANANULUrarUth
631Please respect copyright.PENANAmzF1tLjbHt
"Hey, are you okay, Sam?" Yong-guk asked.631Please respect copyright.PENANARHzT9puVuJ
631Please respect copyright.PENANArAgkgTVTWi
I quickly turned to look at him. "Huh?"631Please respect copyright.PENANA1uZ4cihwBq
631Please respect copyright.PENANA6rhq5pDqmm
"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?"631Please respect copyright.PENANA93pdYPp0xG
631Please respect copyright.PENANAhiETQy83UU
I smiled at him. He really means it. There aren't many people in the world who are so thoughtful.631Please respect copyright.PENANAM3ozmILnLb
631Please respect copyright.PENANAv9P317VYWW
"I know what you mean. And no. I think there's no better person to work on it than you, Yong-guk."631Please respect copyright.PENANAcwqMQhmqDq
631Please respect copyright.PENANAjPJl2DHcCI
"Really?" He looked a little surprised with what I said.631Please respect copyright.PENANAg3iM1jERpW
631Please respect copyright.PENANANBx9p9uUmz
"Of course! Who would've thought we would've you helping us? It's actually really nice of you."631Please respect copyright.PENANABQi1044Svx
631Please respect copyright.PENANAlWxQhAsCmQ
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAJUWX4ltes8
631Please respect copyright.PENANAH2HqjzJa0C
"May I hear what you've done so far?" I asked.631Please respect copyright.PENANAqZj3I9ltPW
631Please respect copyright.PENANAFTcRTGDOiN
"Ah..., sure," he said as he brought over the laptop closer.631Please respect copyright.PENANA3wi3SeEPvj
631Please respect copyright.PENANAoBhNUR96eH
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAgaQ57pfWl2
631Please respect copyright.PENANArhK7qSax0e
"Amazing," I looked at him with so much awe. "It's no wonder you're such a great producer."631Please respect copyright.PENANABxM7Q5VDwl
631Please respect copyright.PENANAXcxboXowiB
He chuckled. "Coming from you, that means a lot."631Please respect copyright.PENANAl05LSgjVaU
631Please respect copyright.PENANA3nDArkIbCq
"The others should hear this." My ear twitched. "I know you're there, Mike."631Please respect copyright.PENANAcRHOjSDu6z
631Please respect copyright.PENANAo1cQCrTrJx
"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?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAHwAjQHgenj
631Please respect copyright.PENANAJjZenXuEQG
"Because what you've ain't cat feet," I smirked at him. "You've to work a lot harder than that."631Please respect copyright.PENANA3u3ldyJLIW
631Please respect copyright.PENANAEN9KeSKWMe
"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?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAUtISU9U9ji
631Please respect copyright.PENANAjQFGWCkmVn
"This," I said as I pressed the play button on the laptop, playing out the instrumental for him.631Please respect copyright.PENANA4Z6QUgcS1T
631Please respect copyright.PENANALcu1RCGfwb
"Wow," muttered Mike. "But wait..., why does this beat sound familiar?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAvMmZxTlpuM
631Please respect copyright.PENANAoCDJ3TiTe8
"It's because it's the beat to our song, silly," I said to him.631Please respect copyright.PENANAYR2n1nNvcY
631Please respect copyright.PENANA3eVVenpHs6
"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?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAtgHOwPYg0d
631Please respect copyright.PENANA4gvoeD8gt9
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAU7oXtymhQF
631Please respect copyright.PENANAIYocDNBbvq
"You're amazing," he said as he patted Yong-guk on the shoulder. "This song will be awesome."631Please respect copyright.PENANApPGa7Vf8TA
631Please respect copyright.PENANAAzaqRM6539
"Thanks," he said. "You should be thanking your sister, though."631Please respect copyright.PENANAE3bjhEziCQ
631Please respect copyright.PENANAkteXqQrYKa
"Huh?" Mike and I looked pluzzled.631Please respect copyright.PENANAm6MHsvjENb
631Please respect copyright.PENANASax3aNCi7P
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANASGUYfe7HmB
631Please respect copyright.PENANAxO0lDEihVS
"Oh...," I forgot he said that. Now it's my turn to blush, and Yong-guk smiled.631Please respect copyright.PENANAu4c8rsrOhe
631Please respect copyright.PENANAEmI9t7tr5o
"Ya, my sister is a genius," said Mike. "May I join you?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAUO1J26PsXC
631Please respect copyright.PENANARGhGCoHfY0
"Sure," said Yong-guk. "With you two here, I bet we can work on it together."631Please respect copyright.PENANAvLlIDuryfK
631Please respect copyright.PENANAWHLCpgCxRG
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAlWjDqc5lHE
631Please respect copyright.PENANAyNiz4ccKyS
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAK3H4vnm6GO
631Please respect copyright.PENANAj8nlSCZeSY
"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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAPuDyrPtrlt
631Please respect copyright.PENANAcXelykjFO4
"Alright, let's start," said Yong-guk.631Please respect copyright.PENANAhRjW7JsT02
631Please respect copyright.PENANAXCeVGKqQNT
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAA0V5xGjBXj
631Please respect copyright.PENANAbAHA5ILzFN
"Hey, what's going on here?" Himchan asked as he came to join us.631Please respect copyright.PENANAA781qvv89k
631Please respect copyright.PENANAstFDmlPnSh
"We're working on an instrumental," Mike answered.631Please respect copyright.PENANAoAZZc0lmd6
631Please respect copyright.PENANAPcCWKfFmAp
"Which one?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAovW3zMzTqD
631Please respect copyright.PENANA8qOIootkHy
"For our song," I answered. "You should hear it, it's really good."631Please respect copyright.PENANAZhATUWrHFl
631Please respect copyright.PENANANnSqaq5Ub8
"Oh, I thought you had run out of ideas for the lyrics."631Please respect copyright.PENANAkFNdD1pzS5
631Please respect copyright.PENANAckzit4boZe
"Well, I did. Maybe if I continue working on the instrumental, I might come up with them."631Please respect copyright.PENANAIxzlxGCNYJ
631Please respect copyright.PENANAXBVsIVrCXE
"How far have you gone doing so?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAWFHZ6kKkNg
631Please respect copyright.PENANAB3UrOrYbBZ
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANALfwazKLO0s
631Please respect copyright.PENANAwNzuvsexN6
"I agree," said Mike.631Please respect copyright.PENANAymAMf4lrXV
631Please respect copyright.PENANAb3MKfU5AHb
"And you're going to use this instrumental for your album?" Himchan asked.631Please respect copyright.PENANASNdIDCWABr
631Please respect copyright.PENANAJK0rBGVRdY
"Of course we're," I answered, looking back at him. I now understood why he asked and I winced.631Please respect copyright.PENANAsAqHlzed7i
631Please respect copyright.PENANAq0azEcPaVp
"What is it, Sam?" Mike asked.631Please respect copyright.PENANA7YyXkAH31g
631Please respect copyright.PENANALqSZRfnbDK
"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?"631Please respect copyright.PENANA4xFt1oeOwp
631Please respect copyright.PENANAsvCdDnRzpC
"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?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAq7xfXdWohS
631Please respect copyright.PENANA28HRQ71qSO
"Collins may agree. But what about Yang Hyun-suk?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAqE8LQBCIfJ
631Please respect copyright.PENANA3onLSo7bsO
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANA1ny8GuHwK7
631Please respect copyright.PENANAgDqRPxsSgl
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAX9wDV4nBKB
631Please respect copyright.PENANATjQt3CLuEg
"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?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAKbqC9pQz6t
631Please respect copyright.PENANAx9cnr9n2cE
"This is your tune and melody, Sam. So, he can't refuse. I mean, the song we did with BigBang was all you too."631Please respect copyright.PENANAkwhnZPt8va
631Please respect copyright.PENANA7zXKc1zFE4
"It was?" Yong-guk and Himchan asked at the same time.631Please respect copyright.PENANAMwTVA2KTdV
631Please respect copyright.PENANAAQIAHRrxUt
"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?"631Please respect copyright.PENANALPrYDKash2
631Please respect copyright.PENANA1kGzDN5qZO
"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.631Please respect copyright.PENANA6oJ4psrGzT
631Please respect copyright.PENANAIIT2cw45bJ
"Does this thing involving me always have to be highlighted?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAjVx7sMupOY
631Please respect copyright.PENANAwt3eSrkJcY
"Daa, yes! Out of all of us, Yang Hyun-suk approves of you the most. He'll definitely go through with it."631Please respect copyright.PENANAhjB6w4IM4c
631Please respect copyright.PENANAIh9juj6Qht
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAsP6MWMw6r1
631Please respect copyright.PENANAGQoHIRI57W
"Okay, if that's the case, than what of Yong-guk? Will he really help us through till the end?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAOih2pE53J3
631Please respect copyright.PENANAyYGVZaEBhv
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAFDh1URUxao
631Please respect copyright.PENANAA4CqSxXjyN
"I'm right here, you guys," said Yong-guk in between Mike and me. "I can clearly hear you."631Please respect copyright.PENANA8qJwMpZfUL
631Please respect copyright.PENANAhKhrWgx6pt
Mike and I turned to look at him, then ignored him like he wasn't there. Himchan chuckled.631Please respect copyright.PENANAWXRZveKbX5
631Please respect copyright.PENANAwmSkHJsjLn
"You're right," I said. "He'll stay till the end. He's such a good friend for helping us out."631Please respect copyright.PENANAgF9D66orrS
631Please respect copyright.PENANAKBK4vWwtb4
"I know right," Mike smiled. "He's awesome."631Please respect copyright.PENANAnloWzVdB9T
631Please respect copyright.PENANAd7QK3RaFNR
"I think you better focus on giving Collins a call, Sam," said Yong-guk, trying to sound serious, yet falling to do so.631Please respect copyright.PENANACmmsWEBXuh
631Please respect copyright.PENANABSrGd2URBA
"Aww," Himchan complained. "Their conversation was just about to get more interesting."631Please respect copyright.PENANAb8NCnuKxLC
631Please respect copyright.PENANAJQoP6sWBS3
I laughed. "He's just trying to hide the fact that he's blushing."631Please respect copyright.PENANACGxmqZqbq9
631Please respect copyright.PENANAfI51Ae5eN6
"No, I'm not," said Yong-guk as he folded his arms and looked straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.631Please respect copyright.PENANA4fGUwg9nFW
631Please respect copyright.PENANAkbS8AnhJVk
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."631Please respect copyright.PENANA2a37T4hzC0
631Please respect copyright.PENANAwPDkSz5sPb
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANADVBev9OsKW
631Please respect copyright.PENANANNuNNhINyU
"I'll be back," I said as I tried to stop laughing. "You better not have that face when I get back, Yong-guk."631Please respect copyright.PENANAE2CRtf1ypF
631Please respect copyright.PENANApxzvapzMbY
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAySt7BMJh2E
631Please respect copyright.PENANAQaqW32BJhK
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAYlYwYbiIXA
631Please respect copyright.PENANA2VYkPftRQS
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANA3VzxbWgXWI
631Please respect copyright.PENANAgjRCjcQ5RU
Just when I'm about to cut the call, he picked up at the last minute.631Please respect copyright.PENANAUCUdLp6bsy
631Please respect copyright.PENANAs119dxF8tj
"Hi, Sam," came his voice. "How's song writing going?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAXQmZznSIRV
631Please respect copyright.PENANAjEZNK0bvGi
"Not good, I'm afraid," I said as I scratched the back of my head wondering how to bring up the instrumental thing.631Please respect copyright.PENANAftFtlHfwac
631Please respect copyright.PENANAuskLc9ktwj
"You'll figure it out. You do have extra help, don't you?"631Please respect copyright.PENANA4mo6GeIont
631Please respect copyright.PENANAtmnaaVuTxS
"I see Lee told you about BAP."631Please respect copyright.PENANAvlY4NL5FPg
631Please respect copyright.PENANAPlmxISdR3F
"Well, she had to. So what can I do for you?"631Please respect copyright.PENANALFDpP1AFOY
631Please respect copyright.PENANArlkbhmtMVD
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAUNj5Xw9wEq
631Please respect copyright.PENANAwhtUxjdq4V
"You're already coming up with that?"631Please respect copyright.PENANA7XE3yXzL0D
631Please respect copyright.PENANADkQZR7Dq7U
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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAwbnREutcdn
631Please respect copyright.PENANAoWcDnym0wE
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANA274069Jxz8
631Please respect copyright.PENANAMgEiNPvQdL
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAfA1H2NktnV
631Please respect copyright.PENANAuPsWA8rA1I
I knew it. I had to say something quick to convince him.631Please respect copyright.PENANAEH4896aC5L
631Please respect copyright.PENANAMgUsEkLI6Y
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANA5hgdvtcet0
631Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ3RHa5rca
"I believe you. But you know I'm not the only manager in this project of ours."631Please respect copyright.PENANAxpOnksHGMz
631Please respect copyright.PENANAX3NkhH7cT3
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAAhWckhl6I3
631Please respect copyright.PENANAV8pjt0itl6
"I don't have to talk to Yang Hyun-suk. He's right here with me. I put you on loud speaker."631Please respect copyright.PENANAD3ts0V0cZM
631Please respect copyright.PENANAkqz83Tv1NU
I swallowed as I stopped pacing and my heart did one huge beat that I felt my chest hurt.631Please respect copyright.PENANAaGXZrhag0o
631Please respect copyright.PENANAXMxAz9JqVs
"Oh..., good afternoon, Yang Hyun-suk sarangnim," I said quickly, so as not to seem surprised.631Please respect copyright.PENANA3lJOiQjnHU
631Please respect copyright.PENANAYeG0OR12n7
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAdlypo3IwyR
631Please respect copyright.PENANAqUsMv2yHfE
"And what do you think?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAmXENm3pQQ0
631Please respect copyright.PENANADHVdEALVEy
"Well..., as much as the idea sounds tempting, I would actually refuse."631Please respect copyright.PENANAHajBQLsQaB
631Please respect copyright.PENANATI4zSFBf9y
My heart sank. I told myself it was worth a try anyway.631Please respect copyright.PENANA0GVM3kdgFP
631Please respect copyright.PENANAXHKAPU3UfY
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAxKeaBEzDRK
631Please respect copyright.PENANAns7u7Jfxta
"Really!" I cried out in excitement. I can't believe he actually agreed.631Please respect copyright.PENANAKvrEX1dLMe
631Please respect copyright.PENANAlE5S1vSsEq
"Let's not forget that we're the ones that have the final say. If it's good, then we will proceed."631Please respect copyright.PENANAUK4Ijjwj84
631Please respect copyright.PENANAlcWXzW0M9Y
"Thank you!" I said with so much excitement. I could hear the two managers chuckle to themselves. "I promise you won't be disappointed."631Please respect copyright.PENANAwL0rkz79s2
631Please respect copyright.PENANAxuHMtO1QQD
"Make us proud, Sam," said Collins. "I hope you'll be able to come up with lyrics."631Please respect copyright.PENANAnP0JwT5U4w
631Please respect copyright.PENANAhPDYZcXyrI
"I will. Thank you once again."631Please respect copyright.PENANALbXU5XaAL6
631Please respect copyright.PENANAexsHLLJU0G
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAQ24KYDKxyP
631Please respect copyright.PENANAXT6kofPVbT
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAUFcpFrQCWi
631Please respect copyright.PENANA34GOKiw9iK
"What's the news?" Mike asked as he looked at me.631Please respect copyright.PENANAX9TYddIuDA
631Please respect copyright.PENANAvTJTDYUcFC
"I hope it's good," said Himchan.631Please respect copyright.PENANA16htStnPRT
631Please respect copyright.PENANACdLYhbxcHb
"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.631Please respect copyright.PENANATzaTIqebwP
631Please respect copyright.PENANAmbisodejEj
"They agreed," I answered.631Please respect copyright.PENANAdzo77Ij2Pi
631Please respect copyright.PENANAt5FlJokB9h
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAfQUMxm2V0E
631Please respect copyright.PENANAjGVev2I2yy
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAAERBsC08Bc
631Please respect copyright.PENANA8uZQcik6Vq
"Ya, I'm also anxious to know what you're all talking about," said Daehyun.631Please respect copyright.PENANApDHx3Um363
631Please respect copyright.PENANANYPKZuQYcU
"Me too," said Zoey. "What did I miss?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAxncz1LcpqB
631Please respect copyright.PENANAN0TZByk54J
"A lot," I answered.631Please respect copyright.PENANAr2VLPRfNQw
631Please respect copyright.PENANAp8ufbiu4ex
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.631Please respect copyright.PENANAaCZCppCdBw
631Please respect copyright.PENANA3XQeAIfTVf
"Wow, that's awesome," said Zelo.631Please respect copyright.PENANAaLlR9CcROv
631Please respect copyright.PENANAHx0HBLvTUY
"You see how the managers just love you, Sam?" Mike asked.631Please respect copyright.PENANA8A7SS0gVhm
631Please respect copyright.PENANA0EWHCFopOd
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANALpFts1jJcj
631Please respect copyright.PENANAwlwocoMMjt
"But for them to agree its because they know Yong-guk is an awesome producer," said Himchan. "No doubt it will be lit."631Please respect copyright.PENANAaTpxXRqVfb
631Please respect copyright.PENANAeuXhzhyzDV
"I agree with Himchan," said Zoey. "And besides, it's more of Sam's original, so they can't say no."631Please respect copyright.PENANA83sHGMpJlx
631Please respect copyright.PENANAS6bnR3o0i5
"Okay, we just need to focus on the instrumental and hopefully come up with the lyrics," I said.631Please respect copyright.PENANA8tsboA16lw
631Please respect copyright.PENANAWQZN1rxLOA
"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."631Please respect copyright.PENANAApxHVOlJyL
631Please respect copyright.PENANAVu3IhXUGOg
"Okay," I said as I rubbed my hands together. "Toxins, get over here by the console, please."631Please respect copyright.PENANAgeSKPRjaMe
631Please respect copyright.PENANACoRGnUP3To
"Okay," said Christine and Zoey as they both stood up from the couch and quickly came over.631Please respect copyright.PENANAU7YFUEsGIj
631Please respect copyright.PENANAiNM0Z10DrS
"We will be here to help in anyway we can," said Young-jae.631Please respect copyright.PENANAIWfL7QnEFQ
631Please respect copyright.PENANAQBHOhUFJ82
"Thanks, guys," I said with a smile. I went over to sit back on my chair next to Yong-guk.631Please respect copyright.PENANAm3n7Ussawg
631Please respect copyright.PENANAe4BOFxaUbQ
"Okay," said Yong-guk. "Let's continue where we ended, shall we?"
