"Okay, guys, let’s take a few minutes break and continue afterwards," Yong-guk spoke into the microphone. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAuNgE1GVrvi

As soon as I took off the headphones, I could hear everyone around mutter a little in frustration. They are tired, and I couldn’t blame them, since I was too. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAL8qMVOl2hL
153Please respect copyright.PENANAqGHjBV0NgB
153Please respect copyright.PENANA3qpqXWFVZg
So far so good with recording the song. But we had to make a number of pauses here and there when Yong-guk or the producer felt the need to change tune. All we need to work on now was the last verse and backup vocals. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAb5roP9L4oK

153Please respect copyright.PENANALMHcmHTAVa

153Please respect copyright.PENANAOqyZ4p8CUA

153Please respect copyright.PENANAKFBU6p9epL

153Please respect copyright.PENANAfKkUAHNqk8
153Please respect copyright.PENANATgmD0gZWyU

153Please respect copyright.PENANA0xvxByTCZR
153Please respect copyright.PENANAHqoZZSO6t8

153Please respect copyright.PENANAaBMOWK7qS3
153Please respect copyright.PENANAp2i92ayfXv

153Please respect copyright.PENANA1m9drKgP6L
153Please respect copyright.PENANAUvkPA8NmxX
We found one of the guards standing by the door. The other guard who was with us last night must have escorted Lee.153Please respect copyright.PENANAO5a3LSuArd
153Please respect copyright.PENANAy6ox4PJS8u
153Please respect copyright.PENANACdODxJUHvs

153Please respect copyright.PENANAqREPsL4jta
153Please respect copyright.PENANARrwFEMKAOL

153Please respect copyright.PENANA9gNcnmPjnc
153Please respect copyright.PENANAhqPRzSCwZ1
The rooms were just at the other end of the hall, so I could feel the guard’s eyes on us as we walked. As soon as the three of us went in, Zoey quickly started to look around, checking the toilet stalls if there's anyone.153Please respect copyright.PENANA39PB9ASz41
153Please respect copyright.PENANAbtIkoUbVuY
153Please respect copyright.PENANAXGyi0V3BzU
"Okay, there’s no one here and I couldn’t be any happier that it’s the two of you who are here with me," said Zoey after she finished looking around. 153Please respect copyright.PENANANGLkqZJeTd
153Please respect copyright.PENANA2sHG1m95LO
153Please respect copyright.PENANAx9x9FjftS3
"Um…, I seriously just want to go," said Christine as she entered one of the stalls. I went into the other one.153Please respect copyright.PENANALiISOdayhZ
153Please respect copyright.PENANAPYCLcWUCgt
153Please respect copyright.PENANA1I4DgVQUPi

153Please respect copyright.PENANAhBTpd3OqC3
153Please respect copyright.PENANA4QdzK7ltNv
"What is running through your mind, Zoey?" I asked as I drew my pants down to take a leak.153Please respect copyright.PENANA9P5Vxy7JJD
153Please respect copyright.PENANAjir5zDMzug
153Please respect copyright.PENANA6n2hnBFV40

153Please respect copyright.PENANAjSTaGVzpuv
153Please respect copyright.PENANAnFQBQUGaIW
I raise an eyebrow. I’m not buying it. As soon as I was done, I drew up my pants, flushed the toilet and walked out of the stall.153Please respect copyright.PENANAMIPTo160Y2
153Please respect copyright.PENANAw2crkFaUwx
153Please respect copyright.PENANATGGEI6tS1C
"You’re lying, Zoey," I said as I passed her to wash my hands by the sinks.153Please respect copyright.PENANAtpCV9xarci
153Please respect copyright.PENANAOZC6ByL3gH
153Please respect copyright.PENANAnzZxLTOzzF

153Please respect copyright.PENANAOeXg3QYKED
153Please respect copyright.PENANAvBf1aoCo54
"You want to sneak out of here and find Johnny. In fact, since we came here with you, you plan to convince us to do so."153Please respect copyright.PENANAgk167lMzRj
153Please respect copyright.PENANAbqj6eXBnsL
153Please respect copyright.PENANAmnIBlrioND
"Okay, you caught me," she said, raising her hands in surrender. "I really want to get him and squeeze his neck."153Please respect copyright.PENANAisGvn1JNY0
153Please respect copyright.PENANAKqBq5PKeZI
153Please respect copyright.PENANAbXVTIWMBzW
"That’s called murder, Zoey," said Christine from her stall. The sound of the flushing toilet came afterwards.153Please respect copyright.PENANAn2fxJ4zNod
153Please respect copyright.PENANABBOpAvvGKO
153Please respect copyright.PENANA0Tfb3g0Qt8
"Fine, I want to teach him a lesson so that he won’t have to come after us again," she said.153Please respect copyright.PENANAzWmkxu3bSl
153Please respect copyright.PENANAIbtQLUmkky
153Please respect copyright.PENANAm3yOsQXT9V
"Did you just forget that we made a promise this morning not to go after him?" Christine asked as she walked out. "And even if we wanted to, we’ve a song to finish recording. Or have you forgotten about that too?"153Please respect copyright.PENANAYwPMVj7Z20
153Please respect copyright.PENANAxm6Vz8WO43
153Please respect copyright.PENANAKRioDztevV
"No, I didn't." 153Please respect copyright.PENANAGMxUGHZeZO
153Please respect copyright.PENANAqbI7Zj9v0A
153Please respect copyright.PENANAK83DNAT6C9
"Look, Zoey," I said as Christine came over to wash her hands, "as much as we all want to go out there and find Johnny to teach him a lesson, it's too risky. And if you ask me, producing the album couldn't have come at a better time to keep us busy instead of obsessing over him."153Please respect copyright.PENANAQgvLudVyoT
153Please respect copyright.PENANASoUygQf5lk
153Please respect copyright.PENANA0Yx9yggQwR

153Please respect copyright.PENANA9G1tfE1MUu
153Please respect copyright.PENANAcWZpKiSjhL

153Please respect copyright.PENANAaRUJ88z2VU
153Please respect copyright.PENANAXnfW9zQeou
Zoey stomped her foot on the white tiled floor. "Come on, you two," she said. "Are you telling me you don’t want to go out there and find him?"153Please respect copyright.PENANAZEey0fs5gW
153Please respect copyright.PENANAiFw9ExEiMb
153Please respect copyright.PENANAJkM8JRG078
"As much as I want to, I know that recording the album is way more important. We’re all worried about what he can do and he might very well just get in the way of things. But we’ve to leave this to the guards. Let them do their job while we focus on ours."153Please respect copyright.PENANAhJt9iBLnPM
153Please respect copyright.PENANAsbTjwP2WVY
153Please respect copyright.PENANAJWKYobeY1G
Zoey folded her arms. "I don’t think the guards can do a better job at dealing with Johnny than we can."153Please respect copyright.PENANApV8OEKsUcJ
153Please respect copyright.PENANALPIMxhcrjz
153Please respect copyright.PENANAaj1hYZxXoF
"You’re right," I said. "But the tricks we used on Johnny before, might not work now. If you ask me, we’ve to plan something extraordinary which will need time. And which we don’t have."153Please respect copyright.PENANA4I1NY2B9Wz
153Please respect copyright.PENANA6w4KDjSqkx
153Please respect copyright.PENANAzVK0J7Ca2s
"I agree with Sam," said Christine. "Johnny is haunting us at a time when we need to work on an album. And I won’t lie, even if we did make our promise to Lee and Collins, I was going to go out with you. But we’re all tied up. And we can’t jeopardise everyone and the album because of a grown man who keeps acting like a child."153Please respect copyright.PENANAGUxpJN2a1y
153Please respect copyright.PENANAIcsVev6i8U
153Please respect copyright.PENANAPdqcwa8ARO
I chuckled. "Did you really have to put it like that, Christine?"153Please respect copyright.PENANAItpWEFlnpC
153Please respect copyright.PENANAI1JHQ1NDyC
153Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ1OpCnnEn
"It’s the honest truth. Johnny needs to grow up for once and let the past go. I mean, even Daniel seems more like an adult than he is."153Please respect copyright.PENANAFkh2F7d5Vj
153Please respect copyright.PENANAEWtwdxR3R4
153Please respect copyright.PENANAtfEzYFoKgc
"I get your point," said Zoey. "But I’m scared that he might do something to ruin what we’re working on. That’s why I want him out of the way quickly."153Please respect copyright.PENANADrWs5LCZ0v
153Please respect copyright.PENANA4ExPi3mc4z
153Please respect copyright.PENANAlKity2Kbku
I looked at Zoey and I had a feeling she might be right. Johnny - like he usually is - might as well get in the way of what we're doing. That’s if he really does end up doing so. We just have to be cautious from now on.153Please respect copyright.PENANAmJp3Avig1Q
153Please respect copyright.PENANAzhH8G2hoaM
153Please respect copyright.PENANAbmoycXIZAF
"We’ll figure something out when things get out of hand," I said to her. "You might be right on this, Zoey. But if he - and that’s a big if - jeopardises this album, we must put up a countermeasure."153Please respect copyright.PENANAiYYyxIFgXl
153Please respect copyright.PENANAfSdCmnPUiz
153Please respect copyright.PENANATxUAYl3uGK
Zoey cheered out a "Yes" while Christine groaned.153Please respect copyright.PENANAFRkwJ41zmw
153Please respect copyright.PENANAmgqX1J41bh
153Please respect copyright.PENANA2fps0on9CR
"But if we’re going to do this, then the others have to know too," I quickly added.153Please respect copyright.PENANAv3rJBa7dhj
153Please respect copyright.PENANAsujnv4u3eB
153Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6XXbVvapU

153Please respect copyright.PENANAKj3IsjXgUb
153Please respect copyright.PENANAcXQAWnF8yL
"Well…, not entirely," I said with a smirk on my face. "If - and that’s a big if - Johnny does try to jeopardise the album, she’ll also want to get her hands on him. In fact, everyone involved would."153Please respect copyright.PENANAmXaOPwmdVi
153Please respect copyright.PENANALjQcJUVq59

153Please respect copyright.PENANA2tMqjOu9C7
153Please respect copyright.PENANA3FWaOuTGa1

153Please respect copyright.PENANACKl4utE7eV
153Please respect copyright.PENANApBeqVpU5CV
"So Sam is on board," said Zoey, "if - and that's a big if - Johnny messes with the album. How about you, Christine?"153Please respect copyright.PENANAxkKjUdbzx9
153Please respect copyright.PENANAJNkprtWmw7
153Please respect copyright.PENANAXwOWSBBdPf
"I’m already in," said Christine. "Like Sam said, we would all want to get our hands on him if he does such."153Please respect copyright.PENANAWZvDpcNQcL
153Please respect copyright.PENANA7KIxqi1ETl
153Please respect copyright.PENANAtgSC9nHK2S

153Please respect copyright.PENANAmLOnm80iti
153Please respect copyright.PENANApFJS5Z6Iv3

153Please respect copyright.PENANAy85PyyfgEo
153Please respect copyright.PENANAP84ja9HW07
"Remember when I said this isn’t the old days when we had to deal with his lousy pranks a lot better? This time is different. I believe he can do something serious. Last night at the park was no typical prank."153Please respect copyright.PENANAzni12AXkw6
153Please respect copyright.PENANAI0mYDpVErM
153Please respect copyright.PENANAeAFA8a0SJ0

Zoey soon flushed and seconds later she came out to wash her hands in the sink. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAsuDx7Bm4XC
153Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1wYvo5RSQ
153Please respect copyright.PENANAwSZR3rrdU7

153Please respect copyright.PENANA3ISI6NBjk3
153Please respect copyright.PENANAxdNA9tY4xp

153Please respect copyright.PENANAxLpAH0RSjo
153Please respect copyright.PENANA6ecOc6xsEi
"But it’s could be a possibility," I said. "Johnny does like to take things a little too far from time to time."153Please respect copyright.PENANAUqf6pvHXS1
153Please respect copyright.PENANAG9F81UoTha

153Please respect copyright.PENANAAi63GEx703
153Please respect copyright.PENANAFI5lYza8hf
Zoey and I didn’t argue there. I’m just glad we get to go back with Zoey. If Christine and I hadn’t come with her, she would’ve gone to find Jehan herself. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAhiVXZ5OoxR

153Please respect copyright.PENANAzP7W1FcVxJ

153Please respect copyright.PENANA6mbj9oOh2A
153Please respect copyright.PENANAIYCC4MbDC7
"No, not yet," said Jinwoo as he stood from where he sat and walked up to us. "Strange that she isn't here."153Please respect copyright.PENANAaAfDvl4qU1
153Please respect copyright.PENANAiNJWX59uCo
153Please respect copyright.PENANAydwOOJ5362
He's right. I would like to know that she's alright, so I pull out my phone to give her a call. 153Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ue2KNr5od
153Please respect copyright.PENANAFzXDAa3K1N
153Please respect copyright.PENANATMcLg7oRyj

153Please respect copyright.PENANAuzYeDv9zaV
153Please respect copyright.PENANAQx4NxOpxbO
"Oh, right. I'm heading back to you. I went to meet the managers and see if there's any update on Johnny. But sadly, to no avail."153Please respect copyright.PENANANQ0TmTduoG
153Please respect copyright.PENANABOkYkX9sHv
153Please respect copyright.PENANAsPiATIrVaY

153Please respect copyright.PENANA0BKhnjzmGf

153Please respect copyright.PENANAilHt52Yh8Y
153Please respect copyright.PENANApkMFFG13DG
"Oh, he's good," said Mike. "I remember how he could easily get away from us wherever we knew he was the one pulling pranks. Like Sam says, he's just like a fox. You can never tell where he's hiding."153Please respect copyright.PENANAG8OeQIH5za

153Please respect copyright.PENANAOGIzbZsGCQ

153Please respect copyright.PENANA7vSUxcufqS
"Maybe later, you two can go on a date or something," said Jennie. I found myself blushing, surprised that she said that. Yong-guk looked at Jennie with his mouth agape.153Please respect copyright.PENANAuN5Heo2As5
153Please respect copyright.PENANAx0okl78jiu

153Please respect copyright.PENANAo9CVaCeHw5
"Oh, don’t pretend," said Jennie, waving her hand at him. "You simply can’t take your eyes off her. I noticed how close you two were when you came here in the studio."153Please respect copyright.PENANAtnchbp7YSn
153Please respect copyright.PENANAh4YlCQpXbP

"Ya," said Seunghoon as he came to stand next to me to put his arm around my shoulders, drawing me into a bear hug. "Besides, I’m the one she’s supposed to be hanging out with. Not him." He threw Yong-guk a look.153Please respect copyright.PENANAQdlEEeek6M

"Nah, I agree with Jennie," said Zoey. "Let's face it, Yong-guk, if Jennie can see you've eyes for Sam, then so can all of us. And I can tell how you enjoyed working with her close to you yesterday." Zoey wiggled her eyebrows.153Please respect copyright.PENANAONdkvJh5Ak

153Please respect copyright.PENANABteVRYBrJy
"I think the others are right," said Christine. "You two would make a cute power couple. Imagine this: You’re both songwriters and producers, though for Sam it’s like a part-time thing." I turn to her with a look. I'm not a producer at all. "It’s just perfect."153Please respect copyright.PENANAfcTerVzwJi

"Goodness, everyone here is starting to annoy me," Seunghoon said. Apart from me, I don’t think anyone got what he said. He’s hug got even tighter.153Please respect copyright.PENANAgRMCla3V3x
153Please respect copyright.PENANAEX7V7NqpzA
153Please respect copyright.PENANAeqRWskviI4
"Enough, you guys," said Mike. "Don't you think you've gone way too far? You always try to pair up her with a guy all the time."153Please respect copyright.PENANAei45SRgNdD
153Please respect copyright.PENANABnNRYIA3Sg
153Please respect copyright.PENANAyD9rSauV0a

153Please respect copyright.PENANATwHcKT5MzV
153Please respect copyright.PENANANcOeVzlLx4
"Zoey and Christine are always in the forefront," Daniel answered. "Before we even landed here, they thought of pairing her up with anyone from BigBang."153Please respect copyright.PENANAXie4sEemSI
153Please respect copyright.PENANAvb0TrWs900
153Please respect copyright.PENANAQHyj5VLv5u
"Hey, we might have thought of that," said Zoey. "But it’s not my fault that almost all of them like her. Except Taeyang, of course. He treats us like his sisters."153Please respect copyright.PENANAOgqVddlvkH
153Please respect copyright.PENANAEtTyj8MZEP
153Please respect copyright.PENANA57KezFsgLZ
"I had no idea four of the BigBang members like her," said Lisa, finding all this amusing that she put her phone aside.153Please respect copyright.PENANAu4mR6sdPo2
153Please respect copyright.PENANA293lX3cdQB
153Please respect copyright.PENANAP1wWdGzzDV
"You better believe it," said Zoey. "Daesung and GD are head over heels in love with her."153Please respect copyright.PENANAR48rdsYnwM
153Please respect copyright.PENANAd29ns4b8Y2
153Please respect copyright.PENANAmS2bBBC8gx
I blushed when all eyes fell on me. I bet the producer by the console had his eyes on me too. I've had enough of this discussion. It has to end right now.153Please respect copyright.PENANAQv534Rugkk
153Please respect copyright.PENANApsgkarglj8
153Please respect copyright.PENANAsgKqSyuuuM
"Enough, people," said Yong-guk as he quickly stood up from his seat. "Let's get to work!"153Please respect copyright.PENANA5fd3U2LLO5
153Please respect copyright.PENANAibPSVnhzAx
153Please respect copyright.PENANAzMR8kCf5xw
Everyone now murmured in disappointment. The conversation was just getting good and Yong-guk had to ruin it. I couldn't help but feel relieved. I was feeling uncomfortable and I'm thankful to Yong-guk for bringing that up. Even Seunghoon's grip had loosened. I can finally breathe.153Please respect copyright.PENANA1sg9Rsg2XN

153Please respect copyright.PENANAcMCfgPEIWN
153Please respect copyright.PENANAuXQujeHePD
"I'm so sorry," he said, looking very apologetic as he quickly clapped his hands together.153Please respect copyright.PENANAT7kUiz01Ee

153Please respect copyright.PENANAAHBc4pZsse
153Please respect copyright.PENANAYIjc28wid7
"Because we don't have time on our hands," Yong-guk answered.153Please respect copyright.PENANAp4956viVoL
153Please respect copyright.PENANA5RKB064Dr9
153Please respect copyright.PENANArrUzp6bfpe

"Everyone, to the recording booth, please," the producer now chirped in. "We need to be done with this before the day ends." 153Please respect copyright.PENANASsPgSZH9Lh
153Please respect copyright.PENANAqitFZIeogE
153Please respect copyright.PENANAAy2fqkSG5k
After the producer spoke, a lot of us got serious and started to make our way to the booth. I stood there for a while as I tried to clear away the heat from my cheeks. I can't believe I'm still blushing up till now. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAdg6Eu1gBN0
153Please respect copyright.PENANAVHIP9lWZyZ
153Please respect copyright.PENANAYZWts1LrL3
"Hey, are you okay?" Yong-guk asked after Jennie and Seunghoon left my side. 153Please respect copyright.PENANA5pFHrMb7H7
153Please respect copyright.PENANAkbNb7AFsmI
153Please respect copyright.PENANAaDGD6tOVFQ
"No," I honestly answered. I rubbed my cheeks with the palm of my hands. I turned to look at him. "Are you okay?" 153Please respect copyright.PENANAWuCU6vARDV
153Please respect copyright.PENANAAvuUSNepS3
153Please respect copyright.PENANAtV4AMkJjgg
"Not really." 153Please respect copyright.PENANA5GG3InYKrT
153Please respect copyright.PENANAlPR0IzGT2r
153Please respect copyright.PENANAWi8lY8zsnw

153Please respect copyright.PENANAutE0eIjAQL

153Please respect copyright.PENANAUoxU4i7o87
153Please respect copyright.PENANAPV2q5X5V0Z

153Please respect copyright.PENANA9FN9GNurQP
153Please respect copyright.PENANAkPaG0zeLHj

153Please respect copyright.PENANAVCiYVXtUOa
153Please respect copyright.PENANApSNSoqh444
Yong-guk paused as he looked at me, then suddenly looked away. What was he about to say just now? And is he blushing? 153Please respect copyright.PENANAMr5TVN6yuD
153Please respect copyright.PENANAHWBCQMsliS
153Please respect copyright.PENANAQeDM0pIBrd
"What were you going to say?" I asked. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAUgGQqDnG4c
153Please respect copyright.PENANArrcrS5I6Iv
153Please respect copyright.PENANAEGQMs882MZ
"Nothing," he said, avoiding my eyes. "You better go in there." 153Please respect copyright.PENANAfbSVrrD6Zv
153Please respect copyright.PENANA1Kp07gUAOB
153Please respect copyright.PENANADNo81SZl6v
"Ya, right," I quickly darted for the recording booth. I couldn't help but feel Yong-guk wanted to say something really important. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAZl6VBeDOtK
153Please respect copyright.PENANAarULtVO6Hg
153Please respect copyright.PENANAxKMM45vSCN
"Hey, isn't Lee supposed to be back by now?" Mike asked me as soon as I entered the booth. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAuSgNYPoR1j
153Please respect copyright.PENANA5EKNpiN8yb
153Please respect copyright.PENANAA1DT4mv2vd
"She said she's on her way," I answered. "But you're right. I wonder what's holding her up." 153Please respect copyright.PENANAnCmmCz4Cgr
153Please respect copyright.PENANARPVUca4EWm
153Please respect copyright.PENANAyU20YJZQlT
"Could Johnny and her have met?" Zoey asked. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAMllECvJSAS
153Please respect copyright.PENANA2IOFDoyEhH
153Please respect copyright.PENANAgLHfH4HSbn
That's one scenario I don't want to think of. If they do meet or if they already have, who knows what would happen. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAB4RoikllNO
153Please respect copyright.PENANAUKDQSc8n6f
153Please respect copyright.PENANAkVPIMrpGfT
"Let us not worry too much," said Daniel. "She did leave with the guard, right? She'll be back before we know it." 153Please respect copyright.PENANA58zIpjDsFs
153Please respect copyright.PENANAmjCl98dNhb
153Please respect copyright.PENANANeLfjnsh3r
"Mmm, I don't know," said Seungyoon as he already had headphones over his head. "Don't you think we should give her a call to make sure she's alright?" 153Please respect copyright.PENANASEUoUl0P1T
153Please respect copyright.PENANAEXfFLygoII
153Please respect copyright.PENANARvbbpJ3J7o
"I think that's a good idea," said Jisoo. She now turned to look at me. "Why don't you give her a ring, Sam?" 153Please respect copyright.PENANAesFaPF10KW
153Please respect copyright.PENANAiqyLB4muPr
153Please respect copyright.PENANA91PvcJAYE2
"Let's be quick about it, alright?" came the producer. "We don't want to waste any more time." 153Please respect copyright.PENANAP7LMQgwqmm
153Please respect copyright.PENANArMKCxSy6uF
153Please respect copyright.PENANAGahMKNQ5Ts
I gave him a thumbs-up as I quickly pulled out my phone to call Lee. I put the phone to my ear and waited. 153Please respect copyright.PENANApPpMS630PB
153Please respect copyright.PENANACo8NEsm85h
153Please respect copyright.PENANANlxTWdIflR
Everyone's eyes are on me. I'm starting to worry. Why isn't she picking up? Had she somehow left her phone behind somewhere? 153Please respect copyright.PENANAZFNhnoy9yV
153Please respect copyright.PENANAycDl4Pj7g2
153Please respect copyright.PENANAiz2uevMCGX
"She isn't picking up," I announced after the line couldn't connect. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAlF5CrsbP7y
153Please respect copyright.PENANAG2VkYsgI8V
153Please respect copyright.PENANAYpkLodkUHs
"Where could she be?" Jinwoo asked. "Now I'm starting to think of the worst." 153Please respect copyright.PENANAUTZeI7rg0i
153Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ygczz9rhK
153Please respect copyright.PENANAzB8fncqECd
"Same here," said Christine. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAPPwWKND1Qh
153Please respect copyright.PENANAzKp81ybNQK
153Please respect copyright.PENANAahFmYOJsLr
"Maybe we go out and look for her?" Jennie suggested. 153Please respect copyright.PENANA0JmxmON8di
153Please respect copyright.PENANAWqHQJQZCeG
153Please respect copyright.PENANAk4l6zhrxhj
"Sounds like a plan, but I don't think the producer would want that," said Mino as he turned to look at the producer on the other side of the booth. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAakNUoYyNve
153Please respect copyright.PENANAQA98rLZCfw
153Please respect copyright.PENANA2WIoEIHmgv
"I agree," the producer said through the mic. "I know you're worried, but we still have a lot to do with the song."153Please respect copyright.PENANAAb9PFne4sO
153Please respect copyright.PENANARgPHxXNXIK
153Please respect copyright.PENANAn8zqjDv0Mp
"I second with him," said Yong-guk. "Let's try to work quickly, and if Lee won't be back at that time, maybe a few of us can go out and look for her."153Please respect copyright.PENANAFwcZ6fpEW6
153Please respect copyright.PENANAX8r2d7OCrv
153Please respect copyright.PENANAZlpxJc6r3a
"Works well for me," said Zoey as she quickly put on her headphones. "Let's get to work, people." 153Please respect copyright.PENANAuTXkOzDJKq
153Please respect copyright.PENANAmldIrXvIF3
153Please respect copyright.PENANAH35xq0kdQP
Everyone else in the booth agreed and I could tell how serious they were when we started to work on the third verse and the back-up vocals. As we followed the producer and Yong-guk's instructions, we made fewer mistakes than expected. Even when we worked, a few of us couldn't help but look out through the glass of the booth to see whether Lee would walk into the room or we might find her seated on the seats watching us. But sadly, there is still no sign of her.153Please respect copyright.PENANABtfPi8TUAX
153Please respect copyright.PENANAVPyPle7zh5
153Please respect copyright.PENANAnfJWNxBoQ5
We were finally done and it took almost an hour and thirty minutes.153Please respect copyright.PENANA7uuMjChG9v
153Please respect copyright.PENANAbYvP7zo20s
153Please respect copyright.PENANACUNON4pPqa
"Okay, now that we're done," said the producer, "you can do whatever you want."153Please respect copyright.PENANANY8u7uuNhv
153Please respect copyright.PENANAQcYeTQVoM1
153Please respect copyright.PENANA5tMi8SrIZw
"I thought he would never say that," said Zoey as she literally threw her headphones away and headed for the door. If it wasn't for Mino standing behind her at the time to catch them, they would've landed on the floor. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAsUju8pepD4
153Please respect copyright.PENANAK0OdXjPiB8
153Please respect copyright.PENANAs2VNm1xK8m
"Hold your horses, Zoey," came Yong-guk as he magically stood by the door when she opened it. "We all can't go out there and look for her. For all we know, she might be with the managers or maybe she's not in the building."153Please respect copyright.PENANA226OXBosMM
153Please respect copyright.PENANAGZSx0EFYG5
153Please respect copyright.PENANABWzs79qnCn
I bet now is the time to tell them. "Lee couldn't have walked out of the premises," I said. "Now that Johnny is here, they decided to put the place on lockdown. No one goes in or out." 153Please respect copyright.PENANAIdZWvoncUL
153Please respect copyright.PENANAtRxXMWwXQX
153Please respect copyright.PENANAlk2QbaXwJb
"What! We're on lockdown!" Seunghoon asked. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAyd17X4VmL5
153Please respect copyright.PENANA89qkVT63ey
153Please respect copyright.PENANArof4EtHZbB
"And you knew?" Mike asked. 153Please respect copyright.PENANA3iq7zkNoMy
153Please respect copyright.PENANAgaPA5ggDhm
153Please respect copyright.PENANAyGiBzOswTn
"Well, if I had told you when we started to work on the song, would you've worked at all?" I asked as I shrugged my shoulders. "Lee probably knew that too, but she didn't want to worry us." 153Please respect copyright.PENANAwygx21FBOK
153Please respect copyright.PENANAKEI5ti86Ad
153Please respect copyright.PENANAzy5rn2QVF9
"I did too," said the producer. "Someone who works here sent me a text saying that they couldn't get in as he had gone out to get something. Security seem keen to capture this Johnny guy." 153Please respect copyright.PENANAeEqS1Mr8CC
153Please respect copyright.PENANAASIHCNKkvo
153Please respect copyright.PENANAykBgNqVGKO
"Lockdown or not, we need to find Lee," said Zoey. 153Please respect copyright.PENANALPVAclrMWi
153Please respect copyright.PENANAGSL7rIVjUu
153Please respect copyright.PENANASV2ke50yQz
"Okay, but like Yong-guk said, we all can't go," I said. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAplwglhcFo5
153Please respect copyright.PENANAUV3Pm66o4K
153Please respect copyright.PENANAAdcJJaa2HD
"Okay, then who wants to go out and look for her?" Mike asked. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAyycNomqmJE
153Please respect copyright.PENANAEBGoLLbvwu
153Please respect copyright.PENANAo5a9zPJEdP
Everyone in the booth, including myself raised hands. We all looked at each other. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAiuBVDXrnwO
153Please respect copyright.PENANAVZuq2xiZVp
153Please respect copyright.PENANA6LFX2Ky95h
"Well, this is going to be tough," said the producer, who looked on. 153Please respect copyright.PENANA2lsvMi0iIk
153Please respect copyright.PENANAqN7OUWq944
153Please respect copyright.PENANAjukbHi5i5A
"Why can't we all go?" Jennie asked. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAAd25jrWaq9
153Please respect copyright.PENANAcYI3Kh8B1q
153Please respect copyright.PENANAzAsUd49sX8
"Even if its a good idea, we'll have the managers on our necks for not listening to them," I explained. "The fewer who go, the better." 153Please respect copyright.PENANAsGZV1wGlEc
153Please respect copyright.PENANAwtBjetQa6b
153Please respect copyright.PENANAzGhqvxP7eW
"Well, no one is stopping me from going," said Zoey as she folded her arms. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAUuU7PaB6JQ
153Please respect copyright.PENANAg5RX8ZYYhI
153Please respect copyright.PENANAKYowgOmgoT

153Please respect copyright.PENANAMGyTButi7H

153Please respect copyright.PENANAuEuogJFDI1
153Please respect copyright.PENANAimpkycJzPi
"But that means only three go," said Jisoo. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAazZl5g8gBd
153Please respect copyright.PENANANybphwLvxI
153Please respect copyright.PENANALBZDjQgiRZ
"I think we need to add two more," I suggested. 153Please respect copyright.PENANA58HKhqbSfZ
153Please respect copyright.PENANAx3ohm5DXVa
153Please respect copyright.PENANAm7KW1GRJHX
"Okay, I want to go look for her," said Seunghoon. 153Please respect copyright.PENANASoeVL3VFUb
153Please respect copyright.PENANA6Kozm4Mm31
153Please respect copyright.PENANAEtj7RE7XHr
"I'll go too," said Jisoo. 153Please respect copyright.PENANA943uSfwTJ5
153Please respect copyright.PENANAbpDIsMGBQ7
153Please respect copyright.PENANAsgKfOfPbLY
"Okay, now two people will have to join in," I said. "Who is willing to go?" 153Please respect copyright.PENANAmAcOT5kkdk
153Please respect copyright.PENANAJEIbXuNPuX
153Please respect copyright.PENANAigDrZDqZ8p
"I'll go," said Mino. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAIpvRjUoKdd
153Please respect copyright.PENANAOg8DJRCArJ
153Please respect copyright.PENANAaAQO7td5aO
"One more left," said Yong-guk. "I think Sam should go." 153Please respect copyright.PENANASFoSIVuhUq
153Please respect copyright.PENANAjChftKadR0
153Please respect copyright.PENANAeNCJyQ5l5h
"Me?" I raised an eyebrow at him. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAEuHRKPqMxB
153Please respect copyright.PENANAb2Os9ViPxZ
153Please respect copyright.PENANAfZdMpK82X0
"I agree," said Christine. "The Toxins know Johnny better than anyone. And if there's anyone who can figure him out, it's you, Sam." 153Please respect copyright.PENANAGfpUaKEXud
153Please respect copyright.PENANAPpeOXiEn4l
153Please respect copyright.PENANAUv0hbBFP1F
"You're forgetting that Zoey is just as good as figuring him out as me," I point out. 153Please respect copyright.PENANA3vj7Y002iI
153Please respect copyright.PENANAGPmX2m6U4l
153Please respect copyright.PENANA2GG0OYMC8A
"Ya, but I'll need your help out there," said Zoey. "You don't want me clawing at his face when I see him, do you?" 153Please respect copyright.PENANAfNWcd5GMYl
153Please respect copyright.PENANAvJlpn5FV43
153Please respect copyright.PENANAuhlDLUDPOY
"That's exactly what you’ll do," Mike told her. Zoey hissed at him while Daniel laughed. 153Please respect copyright.PENANATEZy4Gcgyk
153Please respect copyright.PENANAL64gnlVNYY
153Please respect copyright.PENANAg2VrjwycQY
"I agree with Zoey," said Yong-guk. "You’ve to go, Sam. And just like you said, the fewer who go, the better." 153Please respect copyright.PENANABKKbCe2ggJ
153Please respect copyright.PENANAnnh0rXwzPF
153Please respect copyright.PENANApYGYdxoDv9
"Okay, can I call her again before we go?" I asked as I got my phone. "Who knows, we might find she's right down the hall." 153Please respect copyright.PENANA7wvYrsGmxy
153Please respect copyright.PENANAp1EXi4yRoh
153Please respect copyright.PENANAloHcMWmGzX
"Go ahead," said Seungyoon. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAFyf0LCUgUm
153Please respect copyright.PENANAkEl5CmP05A
153Please respect copyright.PENANA2eNI4JhZRK
I called Lee again and after three rings, she still didn’t pick up. I could see Christine cross her fingers. Everyone else is looking anxious, all hoping for Lee to pick up the call. 153Please respect copyright.PENANA7voRsWUqbH
153Please respect copyright.PENANACi1w250C3q
153Please respect copyright.PENANAxLcBbDY79i
Just as it was about to cut, she finally answered. Thank goodness. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAsmAsge1Wvr
153Please respect copyright.PENANAp7tFUSYx4k
153Please respect copyright.PENANAMuNutvnBBp
"Lee, are you there?" I asked. I put the phone on loud so that everyone could hear. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAmWRCRSvATP
153Please respect copyright.PENANA6cIylwkI0B
153Please respect copyright.PENANAmu3Wv8LdJu
We received silence instead. This isn’t right. Then we heard someone panting and the sound of running feet. Could that be Lee? 153Please respect copyright.PENANAStkq8biznp
153Please respect copyright.PENANA8z8JTO8c62
153Please respect copyright.PENANA3kObxOqD1f
"Lee, answer me. Are you there?" I asked again, this time I’m the one who is anxious. 153Please respect copyright.PENANALvBdmMd5mr
153Please respect copyright.PENANAH4cXILuBk9
153Please respect copyright.PENANA3oQWXo3t63
"Sam?" Lee called. The sound in her voice was that of someone scared. "Are you there?" 153Please respect copyright.PENANAFv0DNkrFbi
153Please respect copyright.PENANAMGmQrd5FDs
153Please respect copyright.PENANAmFMbFxxiGE
"Where are you? And are you running?" 153Please respect copyright.PENANAFrIJCiMSFl
153Please respect copyright.PENANABO86qrF008
153Please respect copyright.PENANAGqmfC4LgWp
"It’s Johnny," she now whispered. "I don’t know how he caught up to me, but he’s here." 153Please respect copyright.PENANAbqUh8suApc
153Please respect copyright.PENANAJ21SHoGfqz
153Please respect copyright.PENANALzPlY4qOIt

"He told me to run while he deals with Johnny himself. But to be honest, I hear noises behind me and I don’t know what’s going on. Darn it! I think he’s coming." We hear the sound of running feet again. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAJf79yrk0sw

Daniel opened the door and together walked out with the producer, closing the door behind them. The producer started talking to the guard asking to escort him and Daniel to the men’s room. Daniel also added that he really needed to go as he felt he had a running stomach. We could hear footsteps walk away from the door. Seunghoon who was closer opened it slowly and quietly. He poked his head out to see what’s happening. It only took a few seconds before he brought his head back in and opened the door wide. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAqrbx0tsEC0
