"Okay, so here are the lyrics for the song," I said after writing them down.350Please respect copyright.PENANAULWi8XAZ7A
350Please respect copyright.PENANAJz8mc1M0N7
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAnxxXNY2GXA
350Please respect copyright.PENANAvvXdAkjTb4
"Just admit it," said Zoey, "the song is awesome."350Please respect copyright.PENANA3uFBic2Hun
350Please respect copyright.PENANAwm0z3gt5ZZ
"Zoey." Christine gave her a look that told her to keep quiet. "Let the others take it in first."350Please respect copyright.PENANA3WhhRMVsaW
350Please respect copyright.PENANA4OfFGc1cFV
"Zoey's right," said Daehyun. "The lyrics are great."350Please respect copyright.PENANAGfA6fjMmQM
350Please respect copyright.PENANAJqkMzy47lC
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAceNKCy1g09
350Please respect copyright.PENANAtoy2W49W95
"You should listen to the tune," said Mike. "You'll love it."350Please respect copyright.PENANA2svyJIVaXP
350Please respect copyright.PENANAi9v93Iy8bo
"I bet that's why you went searching for the guitar," said Jongup as he looked at me.350Please respect copyright.PENANAXKbtzR66fD
350Please respect copyright.PENANAjNWMVFEk3M
"Play the guitar, Sam," Himchan insisted. "We're all dying to hear it. I bet Yong-guk can't wait any longer."350Please respect copyright.PENANAF5Qp6AJPZb
350Please respect copyright.PENANAfTOU3OSWaa
"Huh?" Yong-guk looked at Himchan beside him, looking confused. "No, I'm not."350Please respect copyright.PENANAJCHILIOTjd
350Please respect copyright.PENANAci4gmp0QUa
"Of course you are," said Yong-nam as he gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "Don't forget, I'm your twin."350Please respect copyright.PENANALrDkW5EzfZ
350Please respect copyright.PENANATY3ahTohES
"Okay," I said as I took the guitar that had been laying on the table the whole time. "Let me play it, then."350Please respect copyright.PENANAK1XTNth7oZ
350Please respect copyright.PENANArTAKXoiebj
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAg4odk2P5zD
350Please respect copyright.PENANAZNPPQfRttN
"Wow," said Young-jae, looking at me like he's just seen something's dazzled him. "The song's going to sound awesome."350Please respect copyright.PENANAdQg9KZH6AD
350Please respect copyright.PENANAfrbG5DxVF5
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAQpu90WW15i
350Please respect copyright.PENANAkchrDRG1BG
"Alright," said Yong-guk, looking to see what I was writing on the paper. "Whatever it is, I bet we can handle it."350Please respect copyright.PENANAuwi4ziA3Hz
350Please respect copyright.PENANA3jySwyRnsO
"Can't wait to see you try," said Christine. "But then again, if it's you two l'm not worried."350Please respect copyright.PENANAsuszrbwRpS
350Please respect copyright.PENANAB3rLal2X6s
"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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAPXLzeNPZTS
350Please respect copyright.PENANABBnma2wd3A
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANA1aytU5VqwQ
350Please respect copyright.PENANAT2CvV3BqLq
"Come on, Jongup," Zelo complained. "You're distracting Sam. We all want to hear what she has written."350Please respect copyright.PENANAHtfcSYJrGc
350Please respect copyright.PENANAHp30bE1U34
"I don't think that I'm distracting her," said Jongup as he looked at Zelo. "Right, Sam?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAyWgR624Mj3
350Please respect copyright.PENANAZBNOSzjlJe
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAGDFEL3cVhN
350Please respect copyright.PENANAZf5Ga67Pvd
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAuRDdsaW3Gk
350Please respect copyright.PENANAXqz6k11SId
"What's wrong, Sam?" he asked.350Please respect copyright.PENANALEJJxHrBXF
350Please respect copyright.PENANA7nEEgig5hL
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANANdnytgs8H2
350Please respect copyright.PENANAdn4xiyPrYW
"Goodness, Jongup," said Mike, "you almost kissed my sister."350Please respect copyright.PENANAgGhhn3CoFL
350Please respect copyright.PENANA55UuyoFC0x
And it just had to be Mike. Goodness, me!350Please respect copyright.PENANAUknMzsdhOa
350Please respect copyright.PENANAZJCEZl5gfG
"Huh?" Jongup looked surprised. "I did?"350Please respect copyright.PENANALsFQ0sDita
350Please respect copyright.PENANAb1KYTZNRE4
"And you were this close," said Zoey indicating a tiny space with her index finger and thumb.350Please respect copyright.PENANALPmPOJJEkD
350Please respect copyright.PENANASTrZC4m2ov
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAtl704ODOv5
350Please respect copyright.PENANAQVJFVdMexW
"You see, I told you so," said Zelo.350Please respect copyright.PENANAL271kyB3FL
350Please respect copyright.PENANA5RFdHu11BT
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANA1YDsqSzCGj
350Please respect copyright.PENANAb9gOruW41O
Yong-nam cleared his throat. "Not at all," he answered. "You're actually pretty light."350Please respect copyright.PENANAX50QnnZt3U
350Please respect copyright.PENANAA9fjUcIVBn
I nervously laughed, not sure whether he meant it or not.350Please respect copyright.PENANAp0vrtHGYDO
350Please respect copyright.PENANAUyV5DoQumR
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAayJBbqjAEc
350Please respect copyright.PENANA1tUuiAYaaf
"You're such a fantasist, Zoey," said Daniel as he shook his head.350Please respect copyright.PENANAQDx8xAlPp5
350Please respect copyright.PENANAoeOMKKVdQP
"Don't mind her," I said. "Can we forget the kissing incident and focus on the song, please?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAbFb5YBLrn3
350Please respect copyright.PENANAAlSARuMffb
"Sure," said Mike. "That's if we can reset Zoey's brain or else she won't stop talking about it."350Please respect copyright.PENANAZnVzJXFqGa
350Please respect copyright.PENANAI3nuzJ0kFR
"Are you saying that I'm kookoo?" Zoey asked, looking at Mike.350Please respect copyright.PENANAhMcBhl0gyA
350Please respect copyright.PENANALhYAanGPKv
"You can argue later, you two," I said, giving them a look. "Let's try and focus."350Please respect copyright.PENANAd8PdlPSreY
350Please respect copyright.PENANAVwssYklPNg
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAYGy6B1JKYv
350Please respect copyright.PENANAiV7QY3H6Sz
"Is it just me or something's just off?" Young-jae asked.350Please respect copyright.PENANA4CghpZstZs
350Please respect copyright.PENANABmz0BD9yMu
"I think I feel what you mean," said Zoey as she scratched her head.350Please respect copyright.PENANAnQpuH3cqBL
350Please respect copyright.PENANA6HbsgyvqIJ
"Huh? What's Zoey saying?" Himchan asked.350Please respect copyright.PENANAMptaoWQbnm
350Please respect copyright.PENANAKAvYacWsse
"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.350Please respect copyright.PENANALLgEFKmUgn
350Please respect copyright.PENANAkXV6KYoxuO
"I feel we aren't working like we did the first time," said Christine.350Please respect copyright.PENANAvJWBGhcgBi
350Please respect copyright.PENANAswzJzJfWUl
"Ya, that's what I meant," said Zoey.350Please respect copyright.PENANAAFw181RFS2
350Please respect copyright.PENANAcR62Wa3uRW
"We just aren't coming up with the right lyrics," said Yong-guk, "that's all."350Please respect copyright.PENANAQR0UpZjerE
350Please respect copyright.PENANAVCL4UgOcvA
"Why is that?" Himchan asked.350Please respect copyright.PENANAL1rpLKgtA2
350Please respect copyright.PENANA7tI5fpMvab
"Who knows," said Daniel. "What do you think, Sam?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAxTiyf8OoiM
350Please respect copyright.PENANAn1EurRfrUf
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANASJ6p0vfrqK
350Please respect copyright.PENANAL15xDz9B8S
"You look like you're about to cry, Sam," said Jongup.350Please respect copyright.PENANA1EOKXDikZM
350Please respect copyright.PENANAymLx4WMvZm
"Don't mind me," I said. "I'm frustrated that we're going nowhere."350Please respect copyright.PENANAVjoWlBoQSS
350Please respect copyright.PENANAjBmdg2RBnY
"Maybe we're all just tired," said Zelo.350Please respect copyright.PENANAjrcB6q4xK0
350Please respect copyright.PENANARButUaj4EK
"I felt we rested enough," said Daehyun.350Please respect copyright.PENANAZj2kagK6mA
350Please respect copyright.PENANAOSP8h5cNB8
"Or maybe we've been in the same place for too long," I suggested. "Sometimes the environment contributes greatly."350Please respect copyright.PENANAp0wFKjdqxD
350Please respect copyright.PENANANfbdRBY2n6
"Maybe," said Yong-guk.350Please respect copyright.PENANAF7wRwhHCnk
350Please respect copyright.PENANATcXGj8pUWL
"What do you think, Yong-nam?" Christine asked as she turned to look at him.350Please respect copyright.PENANAdKWTRLe69x
350Please respect copyright.PENANAU6czcNmmd8
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."350Please respect copyright.PENANALVRX9Xc1QI
350Please respect copyright.PENANA07OFFe8SjX
"Tomorrow?" Daniel looked shocked at the idea. "Won't that be a little too late for us?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAZwpRhMyAfQ
350Please respect copyright.PENANAb98SU0YJ1y
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANATQxKY0gS3D
350Please respect copyright.PENANAmv2B2BEmyl
"Not forgetting that we should at least have something to present to Yang Hyun-suk," said Zoey.350Please respect copyright.PENANArZE7DZxkoz
350Please respect copyright.PENANAHSHgAzNV1u
"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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAJFVKywVKti
350Please respect copyright.PENANAHdicA48j02
"Now I wish we never had to make an album," said Zoey as she leaned back on the chair and sighed.350Please respect copyright.PENANADgkBcfW1bU
350Please respect copyright.PENANAtZypZkixY5
"Wow, you guys are working on an album?" Jongup asked.350Please respect copyright.PENANAfVaK98nzF5
350Please respect copyright.PENANAWvoxenaJiJ
"Yep," I answered as I lifted my face up from my hands. "Our managers are ambitious."350Please respect copyright.PENANAZsY02ohiEI
350Please respect copyright.PENANAktltq7JmGW
"At least we don't have to worry about the other songs," said Zoey.350Please respect copyright.PENANAMotcYreuZS
350Please respect copyright.PENANAvu9UA9HyQG
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAM247fhChUb
350Please respect copyright.PENANASCUFuW2xbX
"I think we should take a little break," said Yong-nam.350Please respect copyright.PENANALjIWyTvsgG
350Please respect copyright.PENANAjDu4Rm4VZE
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?350Please respect copyright.PENANAfi7LL9lAFW
350Please respect copyright.PENANANyVhHMfgVE
"You're scaring me, Sam," I heard Yong-guk say.350Please respect copyright.PENANApMRxsGmJZc
350Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9U0MJj1cd
"Oh, don't mind her," said Zoey. "She started this and finding a way to finish it is frustrating."350Please respect copyright.PENANA0rp3n6eMt3
350Please respect copyright.PENANACGqBtTgfFT
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAjN9XFpCQas
350Please respect copyright.PENANA8D3JjzXhem
"Wait..., does this mean we won't have the reward Lee was talking about?" I heard Daniel ask.350Please respect copyright.PENANA2iBEbz2Dz1
350Please respect copyright.PENANABj7hTB2QPB
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAY5jNSs8jm5
350Please respect copyright.PENANAzEN0R6fAdI
"Don't worry about that, Daniel," I said. "Lee will give us that reward."350Please respect copyright.PENANAj2BPHlb09z
350Please respect copyright.PENANA6xIltNOYNU
"For someone who seems tired, you sound pretty confident," said Himchan.350Please respect copyright.PENANAbPBlLeHWPU
350Please respect copyright.PENANAL3RhTUUiPw
"I just know." I smiled at him as I shrugged my shoulders.350Please respect copyright.PENANAUYQgoF6DQi
350Please respect copyright.PENANA2XPKcFlYHp
"Do you've any idea what it could be?" Daniel asked.350Please respect copyright.PENANA8lRMcqsuqP
350Please respect copyright.PENANAd9MrgAKIyp
I shook my head. It's best it turns out as a surprise.350Please respect copyright.PENANAU43HqgduqG
350Please respect copyright.PENANA5aX0rkRPps
"So, what are we going to do now?" Zelo asked. "Just sit and do nothing?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAygcckiwGBl
350Please respect copyright.PENANA7okZKrsBty
"We can do something fun to pass the time," Christine suggested.350Please respect copyright.PENANAHVBXaXleaT
350Please respect copyright.PENANACCr0KWONQW
"Not me," I went back to lying down on the floor.350Please respect copyright.PENANAi57lUHWvqm
350Please respect copyright.PENANAaRGtUfpGnF
No one said a word. I could feel a few eyes on me, while others, I'm guessing, gave each other looks.350Please respect copyright.PENANAXomNt4ljtm
350Please respect copyright.PENANA542DRruVoU
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "You're such a party pooper."350Please respect copyright.PENANA02jkHNdxtF
350Please respect copyright.PENANAYSyUesFSST
"Haven't heard you call me that in a while," I said as I smiled at the ceiling.350Please respect copyright.PENANANDlZUmZ4TP
350Please respect copyright.PENANAPPhC6cCWfU
"Get up, will you? This is no time to be lying down."350Please respect copyright.PENANAcUPcb7z8Rl
350Please respect copyright.PENANAWov1hx1pOs
"There's nothing wrong with lying down to rest, is there?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAQEs6nbwuSn
350Please respect copyright.PENANAabEq4PyYDu
"Goodness, me." Zoey sounded frustrated. She couldn't argue over that and she knew it.350Please respect copyright.PENANABWdMWYyy94
350Please respect copyright.PENANAd1nHlUHcde
"Maybe we should call Lee to pick us up," Mike suggested.350Please respect copyright.PENANACQAZW11s2c
350Please respect copyright.PENANATbYzrwXbfa
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAlnZ14UA6ZF
350Please respect copyright.PENANAFj3QMgl0Lm
I heard Zelo and Daehyun chuckle while I heard Christine and Zoey mutter out in frustration.350Please respect copyright.PENANAAToUsBGNpF
350Please respect copyright.PENANAIm691D3ws1
"Looks like you're stuck here with us until Lee comes to pick you up," I heard Yong-guk say.350Please respect copyright.PENANA4I7QaFveex
350Please respect copyright.PENANAOMEzdaBEhR
"But we can't sit here doing nothing," said Daniel. "Like Christine said, we better find something to do."350Please respect copyright.PENANApgSjgbVIKw
350Please respect copyright.PENANAz6sOKGYWAW
"You should be resting," I suggested, my eyes still closed.350Please respect copyright.PENANARzaQpq4Wx6
350Please respect copyright.PENANANbkXkHZZ1b
"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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ9tndluuK
350Please respect copyright.PENANAbQdtbSDYFX
I smiled. "Suit yourself."350Please respect copyright.PENANAd9c7WkChBW
350Please respect copyright.PENANApuP63BliZ4
"No one wants to do karaoke in the recording booth?" Jongup suggested.350Please respect copyright.PENANAL7evI7DZFp
350Please respect copyright.PENANAvMleKJVoit
"I think we've done enough singing for one day," said Daehyun.350Please respect copyright.PENANARUs7X1N3sH
350Please respect copyright.PENANAEN51mcPGAN
"I agree," said Zoey.350Please respect copyright.PENANAJEdsAFZET0
350Please respect copyright.PENANA3tyeNrxTbP
"If there's clearly nothing to do, then I think we should be resting like Sam's doing right now," said Yong-guk.350Please respect copyright.PENANA67r1EZJO0J
350Please respect copyright.PENANA4Jz3Dq4QO1
"I like your thinking," I said with my eyes closed. I raised my hand to give him a thumbs up.350Please respect copyright.PENANAULuVoBtL7D
350Please respect copyright.PENANAn9sN0LCuAs
"You songwriters all think the same," I heard Christine mutter.350Please respect copyright.PENANAmO62w13XFJ
350Please respect copyright.PENANAEQGpnlv8AJ
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAV0nmFAb23M
350Please respect copyright.PENANAxBskWH8Ae2
"Huh? Not you too, Mike," said Zoey, sounding surprised.350Please respect copyright.PENANAD656sZ6u7k
350Please respect copyright.PENANAhcE6QlpnGz
"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?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAFosnw3lKFS
350Please respect copyright.PENANAXo9SxKc3K2
"I shouldn't be surprised coming from you."350Please respect copyright.PENANAYQfAYz9iQ9
350Please respect copyright.PENANAPj1YrveAG3
"Ya, ya, ya, Zoey. I'm the bad guy here. Doesn't matter now, does it?"350Please respect copyright.PENANA57f7OYr1rz
350Please respect copyright.PENANAe4wQ6fDoU7
"Well, if there's nothing for you guys to do at the moment, then I'm going to work on something," said Yong-guk.350Please respect copyright.PENANA1uhhqoim8H
350Please respect copyright.PENANAYL49BTK1WM
"And what could that be?" Young-jae asked.350Please respect copyright.PENANAY1PJD3vzIZ
350Please respect copyright.PENANA1Wx5kHgyqo
"Our song, of course."350Please respect copyright.PENANA5iKLA6vMBN
350Please respect copyright.PENANAe2Ej6Jr8Ao
"You go ahead and do that," I said.350Please respect copyright.PENANA4JbTsIO8E1
350Please respect copyright.PENANAZavknuvfGO
There came an awkward pause and I opened one eye to look at him.350Please respect copyright.PENANAzlNFJhAjNj
350Please respect copyright.PENANAkWKxsqMnJE
"You look surprised, Yong-guk," said Yong-nam. He took the words right out of my mouth.350Please respect copyright.PENANAaFgftzknx8
350Please respect copyright.PENANAorG6asQA0v
"I thought that would get Sam up from the floor since she seems to really like helping out," said Yong-guk.350Please respect copyright.PENANAgg9UBWCf02
350Please respect copyright.PENANAKOoqlytmj7
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAEGwmx6XLT3
350Please respect copyright.PENANAG5ssJpebpb
"Okay, then," said Yong-guk. "And you, Mike?"350Please respect copyright.PENANA0wxEneR6Ic
350Please respect copyright.PENANAiBDXFT7lTK
"I'll pass too," said Mike.350Please respect copyright.PENANAqnZcoULSvA
350Please respect copyright.PENANAnuT1J02701
"Okay. I'll be by the console. Any of you guys want to join me?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAOhobdnUNVE
350Please respect copyright.PENANAuxKjVCGB2O
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAsVadMHhie8
350Please respect copyright.PENANAspvak3spRF
"I'm going to relax over here too," said Young-jae.350Please respect copyright.PENANAKO3iSxvHsW
350Please respect copyright.PENANA5lppULQhXE
"What's up with everyone?" Yong-guk asked, sounding surprised.350Please respect copyright.PENANApexiBeLCtT
350Please respect copyright.PENANAJIYOZFuWh6
"Like Yong-nam said, we're tired," I said as I sat up. "The best thing to do right now is relax."350Please respect copyright.PENANAPenpXJiUvy
350Please respect copyright.PENANAsbD96HEl4S
"Aren't you worried about not making progress on your song?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAlAmfG8ujvi
350Please respect copyright.PENANA5keE0q3FBf
"I was about to ask the same question," said Zoey with a sulky look on her face. 350Please respect copyright.PENANAfTF3x9WvK7
350Please respect copyright.PENANAOmrT0hD3Gq
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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAusfeb76Uux
350Please respect copyright.PENANAIFXAaZ8J6N
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANA8bTClM7yJV
350Please respect copyright.PENANADeSg4ee1o1
"You of all people shouldn't even be sleeping," said Yong-guk.350Please respect copyright.PENANA82QBhTt4Du
350Please respect copyright.PENANA84FO7GagYi
I laughed. As much as I wanted to hear these two brothers argue, it ended there. I went back to sleeping on the floor.350Please respect copyright.PENANAzUpVfbeMoB
350Please respect copyright.PENANAnvVarT9YLB
"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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAedIkUnhvI3
350Please respect copyright.PENANA6Tce3uE8v9
"Looks like the majority wins," said Himchan as he chuckled.350Please respect copyright.PENANAcKEA5rKqnC
350Please respect copyright.PENANA6x2b0gpijO
Zoey mourned in frustration. Even I could tell she's tired. She had no choice but to give in.350Please respect copyright.PENANAyqxTiaTlYU
350Please respect copyright.PENANANldVxLpB5T
"Oh, man!" Daniel muttered out loud.350Please respect copyright.PENANAR598nNHNBX
350Please respect copyright.PENANAtCtaP3dtad
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAPLEpzostxb
350Please respect copyright.PENANAAbOagEOXNf
"Sorry, guys," he said. He quickly looked up from his phone when he noticed people's eyes on him. "Playing a game over here."350Please respect copyright.PENANA8OG5Feekoi
350Please respect copyright.PENANAKn1JnBKVPG
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANABv6wpDUMQ9
350Please respect copyright.PENANA1HyV0TjURJ
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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAd9RpkNB5XI
350Please respect copyright.PENANANYUL9ntzmU
"I think I'll have a little shut-eye," said Christine.350Please respect copyright.PENANASKrx6A9X9s
350Please respect copyright.PENANAqBUwG24a2O
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAsiLkkyG9iN
350Please respect copyright.PENANAiYrMxnvnnL
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAv9s2uF6kiX
350Please respect copyright.PENANA5Gkq6JMIjw
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAsoIvL1CStg
350Please respect copyright.PENANArUWpVF95eg
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAz0IUuYNOMv
350Please respect copyright.PENANA5LE2iWiZ1g
"Hey, Sam?" I heard Jongup call me. "Are you asleep?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAWjRlk4M7EP
350Please respect copyright.PENANANe6rmo3fkZ
"No," I answered. I drew my eyes open and looked at him. "What is it?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAAT771q1PJy
350Please respect copyright.PENANAGi2QCZkcmb
"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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAKYk19VW4Uo
350Please respect copyright.PENANAydumW5nQgq
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANA9tzHHLB9kz
350Please respect copyright.PENANAUCueNXxAsF
"I know," said Jongup. "You should see this previous one. It will knock your socks off."350Please respect copyright.PENANAVWKOl1h1YO
350Please respect copyright.PENANAf0WJQE7zZR
I joined Jongup in watching more cat videos. We soon moved on to watch people participate in various dance challenges.350Please respect copyright.PENANAZeuo1ll3o4
350Please respect copyright.PENANAOrwOMPZSpb
"We should've a dance challenge one day," I said to Jongup as we watched.350Please respect copyright.PENANASp4Jr50bJi
350Please respect copyright.PENANA34RRXSfTVz
"Huh?" he turned to look at me. "We should've a dance challenge?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAkgPqWg5quX
350Please respect copyright.PENANARJd4jXk280
"Ya. I mean The Toxins vs BAP."350Please respect copyright.PENANAG7smkk0PK2
350Please respect copyright.PENANA3OWz0szQB8
"Oh..., like the one you had with Monsta X?"350Please respect copyright.PENANA4GlcnjAnTH
350Please respect copyright.PENANAOAogjHCYiu
"Yes, like that one. You watched it?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAteWCJIWCBA
350Please respect copyright.PENANAQunnQ75sey
"I think a lot of us did. People really liked it."350Please respect copyright.PENANA9skMRHA5XP
350Please respect copyright.PENANApNV52QMa1J
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANA1A6zJnd10J
350Please respect copyright.PENANAMnetduK9EC
"Oh, you've an album to work on."350Please respect copyright.PENANAEvtZrrf9zN
350Please respect copyright.PENANA5PxJriwdek
I stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Just thinking about it drains me." I went back to looking at his phone.350Please respect copyright.PENANApMNAhTjH85
350Please respect copyright.PENANAKIqQetkLeV
"Did I hear someone talk about having a dance challenge with BAP?" Zoey asked.350Please respect copyright.PENANAvhFKcQDCvL
350Please respect copyright.PENANAfTR01a9YJ7
I raised my head a little and saw Zoey still on her phone.350Please respect copyright.PENANADvsrdx5qnO
350Please respect copyright.PENANA25USVeeoTd
"Yes, I said that," I said as I dropped my head and stared at Jongup's phone.350Please respect copyright.PENANAlAolpsX2gr
350Please respect copyright.PENANAtbr0GizKJk
"Why not do so now?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAveSz7t6sYE
350Please respect copyright.PENANAeaghDwtWGO
"No!" Christine, Mike and I said out loud at the same time.350Please respect copyright.PENANAmQVxQO0agr
350Please respect copyright.PENANAuCKaEVT54e
"Eish, guys. It's why I asked. You don't have to eat me alive."350Please respect copyright.PENANABsfxe3peKv
350Please respect copyright.PENANAM0eiugYbRn
Himchan and the other BAP members around the table started to chuckle.350Please respect copyright.PENANAajVb3BihzJ
350Please respect copyright.PENANAoR6uOFIMAK
"You Toxins really are something," said Himchan. "You do know that the majority of you opposed, right?"350Please respect copyright.PENANARlAHgaCl90
350Please respect copyright.PENANArLYCS0Afdd
"Except Daniel," said Zelo.350Please respect copyright.PENANAQdnr7sgtBr
350Please respect copyright.PENANAhiCtn2uTYz
"Oh, I refuse too," said Daniel, still on his phone.350Please respect copyright.PENANA5yC90YPYaC
350Please respect copyright.PENANAQN6AL0UlnR
Zoey tsked. "You guys are no fun."350Please respect copyright.PENANAYIr0LtzrYv
350Please respect copyright.PENANA2IDnhm5SHl
"Use logic, Zoey," said Christine. "We're all tired and don't have the energy for a dance challenge."350Please respect copyright.PENANA61mVen2xrz
350Please respect copyright.PENANAKD9dcjAN2m
"I know that. I thought maybe someone's in the mood for it."350Please respect copyright.PENANAPzjmOj7Paq
350Please respect copyright.PENANAHftYkXO6Mb
"No one is in the mood for it," said Mike.350Please respect copyright.PENANAuxIGJEpCXF
350Please respect copyright.PENANApWNnytXHIt
"And what if the BAP members were?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAm7PM8aFPTO
350Please respect copyright.PENANAFqBBKIpzSP
I heard Daehyun nervously chuckle. "To be honest, Zoey," he said, "I'm definitely not in the mood."350Please respect copyright.PENANAjq341gXHnu
350Please respect copyright.PENANA9QidXNJ39o
"Me too," said Young-jae.350Please respect copyright.PENANAJzGT3JTb1Q
350Please respect copyright.PENANAVohYv5Sn7D
"Me three," said Zelo.350Please respect copyright.PENANAv7Bq7p9dG6
350Please respect copyright.PENANA6P4s5nlBUu
"Guess I don't have to ask you, Himchan," said Zoey, sounding unimpressed.350Please respect copyright.PENANArehkn73xSN
350Please respect copyright.PENANAJn9IZ32cCF
Himchan, just like Daehyun, nervously chuckled too.350Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ3g6XVhu8
350Please respect copyright.PENANATwgNEFQ1Xv
"You can ask Yong-guk," Zelo suggested.350Please respect copyright.PENANAYcgzul2GUb
350Please respect copyright.PENANArhFAORJzs6
"Nah. He's already busy and I don't like to be a bother."350Please respect copyright.PENANAfT2XBHki5X
350Please respect copyright.PENANAbVxFqFDnX2
"Really?" Mike asked. Uh-oh. I smell an argument brewing. "You bother a lot of us everyday."350Please respect copyright.PENANARgOpqQfVlX
350Please respect copyright.PENANA0fsYeWTnP6
"What did you say!?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAJzbqBde7Pt
350Please respect copyright.PENANAgQFn6XpyvT
"Quiet down, Zoey," said Christine. "You're disturbing Yong-nam. He's probably asleep."350Please respect copyright.PENANAdSfuGtMZ79
350Please respect copyright.PENANAS17pfkLg8v
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAPPGWyU5wut
350Please respect copyright.PENANAuDsR4PZzOk
"I bet he isn't," said Zoey. "Is he, Sam?"350Please respect copyright.PENANArvVfc73ueg
350Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7mk4ZSxAh
"Huh?" I got a little caught off guard as I didn't answer Zoey's question.350Please respect copyright.PENANAn1wpz1lPXR
350Please respect copyright.PENANAmEkgxbkyjs
"Is he awake?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAL32TwogDa1
350Please respect copyright.PENANA25e2VzoFzW
"Not sure," I answered. "He would've said something if he was."350Please respect copyright.PENANANZMumGTReq
350Please respect copyright.PENANAYHf7TeLsp2
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAF9kZNeqLuZ
350Please respect copyright.PENANAe3QVgP6KGB
"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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAgTWKAuWEQb
350Please respect copyright.PENANALCuPJ8ni46
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "It's what you said, Mike. How am I a bother to you?"350Please respect copyright.PENANABD8Is4u5rB
350Please respect copyright.PENANAhBlk4iHrSU
"You're being a bother right now. I'm trying to rest and you're disturbing me."350Please respect copyright.PENANAeTP83S78A8
350Please respect copyright.PENANAPD4w68XILs
Zoey hissed that I thought a snake had magically appeared in the room. If she was one, no doubt she would attack Mike first.350Please respect copyright.PENANAPik5QpIBJS
350Please respect copyright.PENANArwB7scE1VV
"Enough," said Christine. "No one wants to see or hear you two fight."350Please respect copyright.PENANA7CiemSBJmc
350Please respect copyright.PENANACXhJ3NIwA9
"Mike started it," said Zoey.350Please respect copyright.PENANAqw8qakwQt5
350Please respect copyright.PENANAHePxKV3yJt
"You amplified it," said Mike. "You always do."350Please respect copyright.PENANAfYv4VGbEaV
350Please respect copyright.PENANAEN3gUzhpVz
"For once I agree with Mike," I said. "Let it go, Zoey."350Please respect copyright.PENANAqCTYPtQcet
350Please respect copyright.PENANAFOPkP4m3Og
"You guys are unbelievable," said Zoey.350Please respect copyright.PENANATbXFr8jtwD
350Please respect copyright.PENANAcibVDoBFjC
"You're unbelievable," said Himchan as he chuckled. "You really are a drama queen. No offense."350Please respect copyright.PENANAiijmswv36S
350Please respect copyright.PENANAFdIf8In9lZ
"None taken. These guys call me that all the time."350Please respect copyright.PENANAcNNN2Dk5qS
350Please respect copyright.PENANAQGRT4tu9aa
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAbKpnO50K1F
350Please respect copyright.PENANAHa90h5sSYM
I stretched out my arms and stood up, stretching my whole body.350Please respect copyright.PENANA56HWZjffPl
350Please respect copyright.PENANAekV6urqyhM
"I've had enough of watching Instagram videos," I told Jongup.350Please respect copyright.PENANAXxetcZS2gF
350Please respect copyright.PENANAj28oDLQZpq
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAoSWV8kfQRL
350Please respect copyright.PENANAQLGs2QMgTI
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANA1pyFGCQmOy
350Please respect copyright.PENANAPWosL5PTka
"Hey, there," I said to him when I got behind him. I bent over to look at him from the side of his face.350Please respect copyright.PENANA3wfu7JIWiY
350Please respect copyright.PENANAMi1qBJpevQ
"Oh, Sam," he looked up at me, surprised. "I didn't hear you coming."350Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4IK3vFRXa
350Please respect copyright.PENANAcb0M8HjkRX
"I've cat feet," I said as I took the empty seat next to him.350Please respect copyright.PENANAwtdfUqXHKi
350Please respect copyright.PENANA6Fn7QKHoWM
"Cat feet?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAYM3eFKp8B3
350Please respect copyright.PENANAFTGyNHElbH
"I'm told there are times when people don't hear me coming so they say I've cat feet. I sometimes scare them."350Please respect copyright.PENANAzDWULRoE5W
350Please respect copyright.PENANAjQ17VAFCNt
"Oh, I see."350Please respect copyright.PENANAiz5DL6djxm
350Please respect copyright.PENANAgBZoxyLE7K
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANA92Moi2ZNrf
350Please respect copyright.PENANAiy7ydKyO3m
"I'll keep that in mind," said Yong-guk as he turned to smile at her.350Please respect copyright.PENANAJOGqZ0M5ha
350Please respect copyright.PENANAxE4LstQWcs
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAoXvjgL2MYl
350Please respect copyright.PENANAH8qLpJhwjW
"I'm not working on our song," said Yong-guk as he went to work on the laptop.350Please respect copyright.PENANATHUb4jHEEE
350Please respect copyright.PENANAQEZEWqOaM0
"Then, what are you working on?" I raised my eyebrow at him.350Please respect copyright.PENANAnOyNXH5EcC
350Please respect copyright.PENANANKLc5ZVwVY
"On your song," he answered.350Please respect copyright.PENANAWvW5JWAdZX
350Please respect copyright.PENANA0nWv3q5gjJ
"Huh?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAGrjx7vaYzU
350Please respect copyright.PENANAXPyO97kGRo
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAAF4BSWl9aK
350Please respect copyright.PENANAwoJmN3AnDa
"Wow." I'm surprised. I didn't think Yong-guk would go this far. I didn't even know what to say.350Please respect copyright.PENANARBA3kNA8R4
350Please respect copyright.PENANAnCDcQjINNN
"Hey, are you okay, Sam?" Yong-guk asked.350Please respect copyright.PENANAGrxnd3SBET
350Please respect copyright.PENANAXy5ZrOLvlt
I quickly turned to look at him. "Huh?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAn5enuBc4Qr
350Please respect copyright.PENANAzz2bZIJnlV
"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?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAcTyO9udIT1
350Please respect copyright.PENANAk2aEcX83x5
I smiled at him. He really means it. There aren't many people in the world who are so thoughtful.350Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZSloS7ie5
350Please respect copyright.PENANAhuZPRiVKLQ
"I know what you mean. And no. I think there's no better person to work on it than you, Yong-guk."350Please respect copyright.PENANAHpJbHF80FA
350Please respect copyright.PENANA80yTnungZQ
"Really?" He looked a little surprised with what I said.350Please respect copyright.PENANAn27YGRVWt3
350Please respect copyright.PENANA4AbLSn5DrR
"Of course! Who would've thought we would've you helping us? It's actually really nice of you."350Please respect copyright.PENANAJcbWuzFpeO
350Please respect copyright.PENANASQcBrdJAfn
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANA9QmEsUMv8b
350Please respect copyright.PENANAPpIPtcewWT
"May I hear what you've done so far?" I asked.350Please respect copyright.PENANAeVfNzAlXhE
350Please respect copyright.PENANAwqL9Y0LOAd
"Ah..., sure," he said as he brought over the laptop closer.350Please respect copyright.PENANAoaznUmzng0
350Please respect copyright.PENANABnX5ONqfv7
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANADQOBpwoMEk
350Please respect copyright.PENANAHhRWgycRBJ
"Amazing," I looked at him with so much awe. "It's no wonder you're such a great producer."350Please respect copyright.PENANAjc9oLoZ98O
350Please respect copyright.PENANAbzVq97bUAs
He chuckled. "Coming from you, that means a lot."350Please respect copyright.PENANAFvutaVK9Dq
350Please respect copyright.PENANAgUgCmeiNz5
"The others should hear this." My ear twitched. "I know you're there, Mike."350Please respect copyright.PENANAEmqrphjVLP
350Please respect copyright.PENANAN7C6eE6wAw
"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?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAaNSGpyOINQ
350Please respect copyright.PENANAw8sFZTca8X
"Because what you've ain't cat feet," I smirked at him. "You've to work a lot harder than that."350Please respect copyright.PENANAxyKMzUsSk3
350Please respect copyright.PENANAoLhV7rgyCG
"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?"350Please respect copyright.PENANA67sgBOnnzP
350Please respect copyright.PENANASB8bI1cFdY
"This," I said as I pressed the play button on the laptop, playing out the instrumental for him.350Please respect copyright.PENANAYWnueQNr9D
350Please respect copyright.PENANADU5Kq4tIur
"Wow," muttered Mike. "But wait..., why does this beat sound familiar?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAxiVTPcZs8L
350Please respect copyright.PENANAFcM64lpqg5
"It's because it's the beat to our song, silly," I said to him.350Please respect copyright.PENANAKjhP8Iww0D
350Please respect copyright.PENANANUgMynR7Ma
"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?"350Please respect copyright.PENANA3JLBAVQG6M
350Please respect copyright.PENANAJjsauDc2Yi
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANALy8ZhbLIYo
350Please respect copyright.PENANAsyB3aZYICJ
"You're amazing," he said as he patted Yong-guk on the shoulder. "This song will be awesome."350Please respect copyright.PENANAchYPNf2ag3
350Please respect copyright.PENANAw1Lc07cKiB
"Thanks," he said. "You should be thanking your sister, though."350Please respect copyright.PENANAxeQ0EZhgX0
350Please respect copyright.PENANA9IMrbykcv2
"Huh?" Mike and I looked pluzzled.350Please respect copyright.PENANAlRbLVjnovq
350Please respect copyright.PENANAPT7EOhztJo
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANA98XK9YfkGN
350Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9Bu7r3UvY
"Oh...," I forgot he said that. Now it's my turn to blush, and Yong-guk smiled.350Please respect copyright.PENANA817ERtY8tv
350Please respect copyright.PENANAUNlvqi08Lk
"Ya, my sister is a genius," said Mike. "May I join you?"350Please respect copyright.PENANA7T8VFsgLJC
350Please respect copyright.PENANAiQoy5NmCm9
"Sure," said Yong-guk. "With you two here, I bet we can work on it together."350Please respect copyright.PENANAAk5vhjHqak
350Please respect copyright.PENANAfvOqtaspzr
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAoP4qqtgq7d
350Please respect copyright.PENANAJGIaR3RI0M
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANACZTGlzpSN6
350Please respect copyright.PENANAGAM67OzJL8
"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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAPnpDNcSvS8
350Please respect copyright.PENANALs4G7AdaFW
"Alright, let's start," said Yong-guk.350Please respect copyright.PENANAFn8jrbtlEf
350Please respect copyright.PENANAIiebxDbUlP
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANACxtszovbdV
350Please respect copyright.PENANAR59RcXuSnc
"Hey, what's going on here?" Himchan asked as he came to join us.350Please respect copyright.PENANAXILm3vg3vx
350Please respect copyright.PENANAdDaKnTOeOt
"We're working on an instrumental," Mike answered.350Please respect copyright.PENANAigaLmHTndA
350Please respect copyright.PENANA5YROgx2nEy
"Which one?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAMVaeNdG9SU
350Please respect copyright.PENANAsqwQR3rwke
"For our song," I answered. "You should hear it, it's really good."350Please respect copyright.PENANAYSpVWgF3vi
350Please respect copyright.PENANAjkd6LzVIi3
"Oh, I thought you had run out of ideas for the lyrics."350Please respect copyright.PENANA4IduK63u8X
350Please respect copyright.PENANA869VvFpbg7
"Well, I did. Maybe if I continue working on the instrumental, I might come up with them."350Please respect copyright.PENANAXLAsqHe085
350Please respect copyright.PENANAa9qwzjP1WB
"How far have you gone doing so?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAakXXPprDvs
350Please respect copyright.PENANACqbeSJnYPH
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAz9dgi2xzQi
350Please respect copyright.PENANA1GLjotw2UD
"I agree," said Mike.350Please respect copyright.PENANAwMEa5asR9W
350Please respect copyright.PENANAbwm7hHsDZx
"And you're going to use this instrumental for your album?" Himchan asked.350Please respect copyright.PENANAQniKk1NoeZ
350Please respect copyright.PENANA1tbKGZpJVj
"Of course we're," I answered, looking back at him. I now understood why he asked and I winced.350Please respect copyright.PENANAlbmCYWd4Z0
350Please respect copyright.PENANAV9KtoLtyqR
"What is it, Sam?" Mike asked.350Please respect copyright.PENANAbVA8WG1WUv
350Please respect copyright.PENANAVKx8WJv9vV
"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?"350Please respect copyright.PENANABazI48sOLW
350Please respect copyright.PENANAaJLsCcFIxd
"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?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAg83dPOiEn7
350Please respect copyright.PENANAKQM29QqJIx
"Collins may agree. But what about Yang Hyun-suk?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAyNhJeHTwRK
350Please respect copyright.PENANAqqok3XJrPg
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAnNY7cyw0aE
350Please respect copyright.PENANA4hGbakaDQr
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAjzARzSImJN
350Please respect copyright.PENANAfwn3pti5aK
"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?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAYMBjkx5m4o
350Please respect copyright.PENANAXiVgDPVYam
"This is your tune and melody, Sam. So, he can't refuse. I mean, the song we did with BigBang was all you too."350Please respect copyright.PENANAL5UWywRc3f
350Please respect copyright.PENANAy2pu6H5LzE
"It was?" Yong-guk and Himchan asked at the same time.350Please respect copyright.PENANAl7uBvNbKw3
350Please respect copyright.PENANACrN0ExNDnk
"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?"350Please respect copyright.PENANA9fxQGw4TRT
350Please respect copyright.PENANAdEDQ2kDhUc
"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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAYVrXCvtpxA
350Please respect copyright.PENANA1mMHU4XAkS
"Does this thing involving me always have to be highlighted?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAF7E4BWLFZA
350Please respect copyright.PENANAZnagOsBRK2
"Daa, yes! Out of all of us, Yang Hyun-suk approves of you the most. He'll definitely go through with it."350Please respect copyright.PENANAAt0rbVcj7y
350Please respect copyright.PENANAzBumfqzf0q
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAuF8juP1u13
350Please respect copyright.PENANATIU394y81U
"Okay, if that's the case, than what of Yong-guk? Will he really help us through till the end?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAGhTKF2dikr
350Please respect copyright.PENANAYZmFt33fpP
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAj62NtCdOo5
350Please respect copyright.PENANABTwqHpIeka
"I'm right here, you guys," said Yong-guk in between Mike and me. "I can clearly hear you."350Please respect copyright.PENANAUnjJpMXzXe
350Please respect copyright.PENANAFsEo0v6J0S
Mike and I turned to look at him, then ignored him like he wasn't there. Himchan chuckled.350Please respect copyright.PENANAxJQp6GJMMn
350Please respect copyright.PENANAVr7Jh4QKMw
"You're right," I said. "He'll stay till the end. He's such a good friend for helping us out."350Please respect copyright.PENANACkMAxsfFGH
350Please respect copyright.PENANAgUOrYqmrQI
"I know right," Mike smiled. "He's awesome."350Please respect copyright.PENANAFDkQVuwKDj
350Please respect copyright.PENANAXuZVCLL01D
"I think you better focus on giving Collins a call, Sam," said Yong-guk, trying to sound serious, yet falling to do so.350Please respect copyright.PENANAqwH5rNaxQS
350Please respect copyright.PENANAPU3lMihMBH
"Aww," Himchan complained. "Their conversation was just about to get more interesting."350Please respect copyright.PENANAChTwKGKO2x
350Please respect copyright.PENANABxOeck8leP
I laughed. "He's just trying to hide the fact that he's blushing."350Please respect copyright.PENANAnKKCPrhix2
350Please respect copyright.PENANAyrw1Pe9jmM
"No, I'm not," said Yong-guk as he folded his arms and looked straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.350Please respect copyright.PENANAImNbLaof3E
350Please respect copyright.PENANAWOPrl5jS68
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."350Please respect copyright.PENANA5wRyo7dnRJ
350Please respect copyright.PENANAgVok6xmTXB
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAgSITk9YgoZ
350Please respect copyright.PENANA6JM1HPgHTX
"I'll be back," I said as I tried to stop laughing. "You better not have that face when I get back, Yong-guk."350Please respect copyright.PENANAml9LBtspAZ
350Please respect copyright.PENANAOpl7HekWtR
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANACOS904YmVE
350Please respect copyright.PENANACH4oMXS2OK
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAILAHgJtQjA
350Please respect copyright.PENANAK0pQOEHUT2
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANArTlkrLsnm9
350Please respect copyright.PENANAjovvnISHR1
Just when I'm about to cut the call, he picked up at the last minute.350Please respect copyright.PENANAkROUwOIb5W
350Please respect copyright.PENANAHhmp0ASbrd
"Hi, Sam," came his voice. "How's song writing going?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAV8e6lSbII7
350Please respect copyright.PENANAkKZagDbe3s
"Not good, I'm afraid," I said as I scratched the back of my head wondering how to bring up the instrumental thing.350Please respect copyright.PENANAIoQLHVixsQ
350Please respect copyright.PENANAOd63xoPMhd
"You'll figure it out. You do have extra help, don't you?"350Please respect copyright.PENANA4ob0UoW20I
350Please respect copyright.PENANAP6pv37rzup
"I see Lee told you about BAP."350Please respect copyright.PENANAvzR09ksirN
350Please respect copyright.PENANA1DBUASvSFp
"Well, she had to. So what can I do for you?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAM4O0u8dkpd
350Please respect copyright.PENANA1VR4On9SCf
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAE84yzTaZui
350Please respect copyright.PENANANAoH6FIbeo
"You're already coming up with that?"350Please respect copyright.PENANADT35SvQeVC
350Please respect copyright.PENANAYLEqTWutE0
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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAwe7ULNekqO
350Please respect copyright.PENANAlKSfqO5i75
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAxNY5leeaHA
350Please respect copyright.PENANAoL76QnGa3l
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAWJideTG1c0
350Please respect copyright.PENANA7t65B4xlLm
I knew it. I had to say something quick to convince him.350Please respect copyright.PENANAXY6VTCI5Ox
350Please respect copyright.PENANATogyjXmFen
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAjxT5MmGGu5
350Please respect copyright.PENANA4rJsKOxvp2
"I believe you. But you know I'm not the only manager in this project of ours."350Please respect copyright.PENANAFzmzvo1IyB
350Please respect copyright.PENANAQb4TiEHlRv
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAzABDecCJ1l
350Please respect copyright.PENANAjgigvUHAZ3
"I don't have to talk to Yang Hyun-suk. He's right here with me. I put you on loud speaker."350Please respect copyright.PENANAFOsgjfGWdr
350Please respect copyright.PENANA2AI8NtQdN2
I swallowed as I stopped pacing and my heart did one huge beat that I felt my chest hurt.350Please respect copyright.PENANAQOmRIyzpYP
350Please respect copyright.PENANAy4Uz3iOSfd
"Oh..., good afternoon, Yang Hyun-suk sarangnim," I said quickly, so as not to seem surprised.350Please respect copyright.PENANAkKrU7IOR7H
350Please respect copyright.PENANADfVZPhQMAQ
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAGTMYTLDPxX
350Please respect copyright.PENANAJYhYUWpLPa
"And what do you think?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAcw6HPd9LHf
350Please respect copyright.PENANADBnaLfNsbE
"Well..., as much as the idea sounds tempting, I would actually refuse."350Please respect copyright.PENANA0pmsk3baJJ
350Please respect copyright.PENANA2zNZqympiE
My heart sank. I told myself it was worth a try anyway.350Please respect copyright.PENANABtsVVmMUxf
350Please respect copyright.PENANAroHvkdlF1U
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAGwDKAGt73z
350Please respect copyright.PENANAJ72dYmf5PQ
"Really!" I cried out in excitement. I can't believe he actually agreed.350Please respect copyright.PENANAN8AsP6RbV0
350Please respect copyright.PENANAhQoSveWGqI
"Let's not forget that we're the ones that have the final say. If it's good, then we will proceed."350Please respect copyright.PENANA7HvN6qIY6x
350Please respect copyright.PENANAx7R047FdtZ
"Thank you!" I said with so much excitement. I could hear the two managers chuckle to themselves. "I promise you won't be disappointed."350Please respect copyright.PENANAbmPiq33nu9
350Please respect copyright.PENANAlg2uZ6IFg0
"Make us proud, Sam," said Collins. "I hope you'll be able to come up with lyrics."350Please respect copyright.PENANAXssXiWr6HM
350Please respect copyright.PENANAMbeXUOENQw
"I will. Thank you once again."350Please respect copyright.PENANAHp1doIrwLM
350Please respect copyright.PENANApOF3pRBXSM
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAshURXvijZr
350Please respect copyright.PENANAYA0UWNkzmZ
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANA8oEW2ehrfK
350Please respect copyright.PENANANfhoBUWIxx
"What's the news?" Mike asked as he looked at me.350Please respect copyright.PENANA8AUc9tdlLk
350Please respect copyright.PENANAR4jkPpCOqD
"I hope it's good," said Himchan.350Please respect copyright.PENANAYo1S0sDQ2b
350Please respect copyright.PENANAT25h73Iwil
"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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAgfAJaZOsqc
350Please respect copyright.PENANA6TtXQsgYUo
"They agreed," I answered.350Please respect copyright.PENANA7F7BU8n2Xb
350Please respect copyright.PENANA0F5Rc7NygC
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAzmULwxmz51
350Please respect copyright.PENANAmsSYNQIIaM
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAYkLaO5jevc
350Please respect copyright.PENANAYhLZ2HYG75
"Ya, I'm also anxious to know what you're all talking about," said Daehyun.350Please respect copyright.PENANAXjM0dAwNKU
350Please respect copyright.PENANAN3dNpVmVeg
"Me too," said Zoey. "What did I miss?"350Please respect copyright.PENANASWnH5vqVjB
350Please respect copyright.PENANAKY8igS31yK
"A lot," I answered.350Please respect copyright.PENANAUcdy0ce6up
350Please respect copyright.PENANAJp11xcrnwJ
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.350Please respect copyright.PENANAiXmL6Aj71N
350Please respect copyright.PENANAxWC4elCWj4
"Wow, that's awesome," said Zelo.350Please respect copyright.PENANAEi7l48TvnX
350Please respect copyright.PENANA2fXj0tOJJx
"You see how the managers just love you, Sam?" Mike asked.350Please respect copyright.PENANAjZX53UTzK7
350Please respect copyright.PENANAvhOxNoDogN
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANA69Sc9zfdKK
350Please respect copyright.PENANAGKKbcojf4a
"But for them to agree its because they know Yong-guk is an awesome producer," said Himchan. "No doubt it will be lit."350Please respect copyright.PENANAzuFzrIcqHe
350Please respect copyright.PENANAHL6EWyDySU
"I agree with Himchan," said Zoey. "And besides, it's more of Sam's original, so they can't say no."350Please respect copyright.PENANAYALZbWfdJR
350Please respect copyright.PENANAElVXTM1hL7
"Okay, we just need to focus on the instrumental and hopefully come up with the lyrics," I said.350Please respect copyright.PENANAbhg3zYcs9O
350Please respect copyright.PENANA4tnOIunjjO
"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."350Please respect copyright.PENANAWbMCcnDXcB
350Please respect copyright.PENANA2jzth74Ug5
"Okay," I said as I rubbed my hands together. "Toxins, get over here by the console, please."350Please respect copyright.PENANA7v4qtvicIi
350Please respect copyright.PENANAoBX9wQjswp
"Okay," said Christine and Zoey as they both stood up from the couch and quickly came over.350Please respect copyright.PENANA9K05zvEIEv
350Please respect copyright.PENANAgJVtbtQCDs
"We will be here to help in anyway we can," said Young-jae.350Please respect copyright.PENANADy69lA5Cpi
350Please respect copyright.PENANAq0uN7wmL8Z
"Thanks, guys," I said with a smile. I went over to sit back on my chair next to Yong-guk.350Please respect copyright.PENANAZNGix4OA1B
350Please respect copyright.PENANAsHLQkCKjjI
"Okay," said Yong-guk. "Let's continue where we ended, shall we?"
