We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k6XO9oxIy
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnivscsUcB
We stood outside the gates of the building and were allowed inside by security. The building was four or five storeys high. Yong-nam continued to lead the way till we went inside.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk2FZNtjHF
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzUYH8ajRy
We were in the reception area and there were two female receptionists at their desk. Yong-nam greeted one of them while the other was currently on a phone call. Yong-nam talked to the free receptionist and as soon as they were done, she turned and smiled at us welcoming us to the agency as she spoke in English.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAW5IDndB2
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzPS4tdkbq
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hhb8OREZp
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiJnFn6asm
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N2IJHTj8J
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E8OqMvJBG
"Come on," said Yong-nam, "the others must probably be wondering why I've taken so long."
Yong-nam led us to the elevator a few feet away from the desk. He pressed the up button and we waited for a few seconds til the doors flew open. Just before we stepped in, Zoey held us to a stop as she stood in front of us, blocking the way to the elevator.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX26XvdlAHS
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLSPzhtF5i
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAE0jSjDPa
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo8eh2fDNU
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7m2MjdfNe
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWTZp3OwR5
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwnJ7PyoAd
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yUijBQdTc
"Oh, brother," Mike muttered as he stared at the ceiling. "Not this again. The elevator is going to close if we don't go in."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3UK7t6gJp
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLwJDbBsqj
"We're seven, Zoey," I said. "Don't worry, the elevator will hold us just fine."
"Okay, just checking," said Zoey with a smile. "You remember what happened last time, right?"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4IS77m4Ub
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBhQeY8AOh
Us Toxins would never forget the day when the five of us and the other five BigBang members got squeezed up in the elevator back at YG. There was barely enough room and it was at that point when we thought we would plummet to our deaths.
"Okay, since there's nothing to worry about," said Yong-nam, "should we get going?"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrra9yhoS6m
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYHKYlpUEE
"Yes, please," said Daniel.
We all went inside and the elevator doors closed before us. Yong-nam who was closer to the elevator buttons, pressed one of them and the elevator started to move upwards. As soon as it did, the soft melodious elevator music started to play.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhyU0V4NyX
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjaB4SQmgh
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fORttpGqg
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUBPLvPvOG
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAJkjKQQPC
Soon the elevator came to a stop and the doors flew open. In front of us stood a long carpeted hallway. Yong-nam stepped out, leading the way as usual. He told us where we were; the recording studios.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscufiYiDyd
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cvxvBI3OZ
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8DyyLhQgW
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt1sTonfyk
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluNjK7qGgC
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN7f7RKmS2
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsHbu7FFCi
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVK2xgGf2g
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qFqJHBZJ1
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS9H2BE7L8
"We were also working on writing our song back at the hotel," said Zoey, "we needed some motivation, so that's why we came to buy doughnuts."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzwRY12JFT
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51sGxTUgTu
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrfshtJc60
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMWAN3XEPY
"Kind of. But they really work on Sam here," Zoey pointed her thumb at me as I walked behind her. I rolled my eyes. That's so not true. Well..., maybe with chocolate.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzlvPLzctr
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipKcKaKGDh
"Doughnuts aren't really my favourite, you know?" I said as I looked at Christine beside me. She quickly noticed my eyes and flushed a little.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCnvnzlNbr
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78sKc6vRfy
Zoey might like chocolate dip doughnuts, but Christine "loves" doughnuts. During our school days, she sometimes wouldn't take the school bus home just so she could buy doughnuts at the nearest store.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtDMuxaiqk
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrMeyBD3mz
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K95AWDU5e
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiyhJr0X0E
We soon stopped by one of the doors down the hall and Yong-nam knocked with his free hand. For a second, no one answered.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT9DbBZBf8
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx8H7li5jU
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOcvgpdZra
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd0ijSLfho
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2boMUlLEm
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14CDeEefE1
It took a few seconds till the door finally opened. Daehyun was the one behind it and his eyes weren't fixed on us as he seemed to be engaged in some conversation currently taking place in the room. But soon afterwards, his eyes focused on us that he did the unthinkable.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGpKgBTh31
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51aiK36Cj8
He screamed.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVl5pdGe98
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeHAJwHFU1
The door shut quickly in our faces. Well, that's weird. Everyone of us in the hall, looked at each other with puzzled looks. Did Daehyun just do that? I could understand if he were a girl, but a guy....? I'm finding it a little hard to believe.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9H2aOrAdn
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHdf22UsEH
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSxLdIcsg2
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWkvPxe6bt
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdsYkw4Oar
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5frw1YS8MX
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtqUshcVzg
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bXEqq1igj
The door opened again and this time, it was Zelo. He gasped and I thought he might shut the door in front of us like Daehyun, but he didn't.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW2O1w7g57
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqy2Fp0M5A
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4AMRAhKI3
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yFoarcfQV
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzWuy6hPfH
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafmXGvtgEL
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qL6vqujS6
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H1gd25o1S
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3PLjnLgfv
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjju6zhqhJp
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii55oMAvrb
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow5DfSsrb8
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34UIyk4JHm
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVxvtgdAyH
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVZIbLM3EM
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c42J5qMai
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGkg2MBQsg
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b7a33Pdzs
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4SwjKTeuN
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9E0CBVGSH
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqnoEUd0wo
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ujin3xjoV
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD2Ovd2EF2
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04LamVTetD
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBkZXun4o5
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7njqeOBVG
As we entered the room, I noticed that the place looked busy. There was the recording room on the other side of the room and the sitting area looked a little messy with papers all around and Young-jae was picking up some of the mess.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc2SYCiVZE
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDZg7pIRSs
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFFfGhgIz2
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjddY7YHM9
"Nonsense, you guys couldn't have come at a better time," said Young-jae as he threw away the crumpled papers in the waste bin located at the corner.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u7IAQfXBN
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D7prnbbA6
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumvhax3Ilt
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5kWq5V7Cz
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq9De5x0da
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kegsx67vK
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfefYhQatcu
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9bmztPmTs
"Same here," said Zelo as he came to stand in between my two brothers. He's way taller than the both of them and I tried not to point it out.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJxv2wd49n
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4jScm34qC
"Please, sit down," said Daehyun as he came towards Christine and me, held each of our hands, and dragged us to one of the couches next to the one Zoey sat.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzFfHMu17s
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgKCRMDlph
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL7xsy2tk3
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKjvDXMxkH
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE7ZqJUMwT
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNFU4apZOU
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEfbUb5ZhN
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN23r9jYXDC
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63CMfXz1ek
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTWbtJsnfh
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPshio70fR
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjXsn0U63p
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt8NCgcE54
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs254H6JQVK
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgGsy92Tmo
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXrEybVn1a
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM4S4qHReI
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8yYbC3VAh
"I second to that," said Zoey.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MXkJWuQIZ
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi95XePd6cc
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5d7aAHWU2
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiMHmqCbLu
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXPX1C74ah
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzOaBa0Dib
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiebYVKwgQ
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz9hYEQJCs
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEDH873IY4
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jrDxcrBzb
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJMxR6PaoC
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDgvzZNykF
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglpNNYiwF9
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFliFd9g7B7
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5bOkqt0vF
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRLWQVDFsb
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLDgl8dUgV
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlTgoY6rqd
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq6yv01kk3
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIM2i1po1n
"Yep," Young-jae answered.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFQfurSlra
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI16wLNKvP5
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETz0shyZ5i
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hutXnD9Sn
"We've all been there," said Mike after swallowing his first bite, "it's hell when you can't seem to figure out the right lyrics."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPKllrrYAt
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp31QCDKri
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQm4rNd4Rg
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe7vwwsrmC
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvHTrsUP2R
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57D5RUqKSx
"We were actually supposed to do it as a group," said Daniel. He had just finished his first doughnut and stretched out his hand for another. "I mean, the whole BTW. But the others didn't show up."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjou8mAthtI
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfi07eUmGq
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3ZSrtJbiC
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHr73sLYFh
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlTHkwHo01
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH57jyvSM6
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrhxxdIuA1
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TyJbm4L7z
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS9otG74Wh
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTdd8FnO02
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXYj2lLQoe
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn74EJHhG8
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh5sJcA67Z
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG6tJe2juC
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLGBXrdMeP
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOGuEcRZ8K
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlhGDtG3b8
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnVZUld55G
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQcrqQ1pJx
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMAS2qZZ1K
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs574GFfayK
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlREDkK05r
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViJcVNhd5H
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn72Ag6kafE
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdeuWPBi2l
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6M4hfXqmU
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNJzM1FIyw
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpUxeN4mxE
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gjqyzDBcq
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85udjnSqsd
That's right. We had agreed that we weren't going to stay here long. I also shouldn't forget about the other program. Maybe now was the perfect time to tell the other Toxins about it.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKU2KP7835
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVugZPZS2Y
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAuzihq3Bp
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq40IdvTCz
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeezJ47tKm
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan3vBirG6m
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1GDRHvtjn
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytXQvcbxe3
I took another doughnut from the box, wondering how I'm going to break it to the others that we had plans tonight. But as soon as I straightened up to say something, Lee said:690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewpHv4Hq9y
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bSmiOCUjv
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuoj2suiq7
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB1B9w3Brs
I looked at her, and I am glad that no one noticed the look on my face. The others around me muttered happily to each other. I raised an eyebrow at Lee wondering what she's getting at.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c7gEIxBzz
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpaWq4TEzQ
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEMeAEjWu4
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb7V9izd4P
"Yep," Lee replied with a smile on her face. "And if you manage to make a tremendous amount of progress by the evening, you might just receive a reward."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6vVdQPnq4
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrf6gacK11
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ7z47pSjG
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh5yYHqAwS
"What reward?" Christine asked.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohPMUg94Rx
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANfZIXvhfX
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKgBHQCdKO
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCpwtWa5Au
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn671KExyE
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDwmyvrueY
Lee quickly swallowed. "One thing's certain, I'm neither your bodyguard nor your babysitter. Oh.., don't worry about Collins. I'll just tell him you preferred to work alongside B.A.P for now."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn8uJcPpK2
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSa4vqaXuq
I gave Lee a look and I knew why she's doing all this. We tire her out a lot, so this is her only chance to get us out of her radar at least for a few hours. Who knows, she might just find herself at a massage parlor, relaxing. She's taking advantage that she knows about tonight.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhhOPcBY6f
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk3VwnD2NM
"You shouldn't worry about them, Lee," said Yong-nam as he smiled at her. "If they cause any trouble, I'll be sure to handle them."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4mFeSc3FU
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HzpeupY7j
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSIWQVDxE3
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIJsvov9pC
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM1daAX7t4
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1ZbJL32Uu
"I believe you, Yong-nam," said Lee as she smiled back. "I doubt if they would give you any trouble, that's if they will be serious about receiving that reward."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabUUr3pHad
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dsftOndI6
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj08voxwlS
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfjfpt31ir
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJrn23rGBc
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7A3w9n1zD
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXSwl6y1SU
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2GE5PxYPf
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVRMmT5PPh
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QDI6UPauz
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbrn7WkhkY
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPtoRdejto
I sighed again. Maybe I should just ruin this for her by telling the others about tonight. But..., staying here and working on our song with B.A.P didn't seem like a bad idea. Who knows, we might get the lyrics we need and we also get to help B.A.P with theirs.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrHVHiUbov
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj7NhL6c7R
"We'll do our best," I said.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghOQqmH8fS

"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBufWqU5x7B
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrEqIeQTgv
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AJztlrSlQ
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI3n7TAIMz
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqdmWvVTtz
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61mgCHJIID
"We all did," said Daehyun.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMygOCCRsJo
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1kUMrHGxn
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsCWFOrCIs
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfA98jb0rL
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCQSFp79pi
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJT7wogwSr
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOH9wkoo0V
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnHpJHiHDI
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJSOGSOjwR
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFOlUUKWds
"Oh, you don't have to. But if you insist, then okay," she said and turned to look at the other Toxins. "Be on your best behaviour, guys."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdNvhBPLdk
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmNGFIk9B8
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvulWeZSjzA
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQTz2rhhuf
"I really hope so. Come on, Sam. See you next time, B.A.P." she waved at the B.A.P members and they also did the same.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7qrcD7im6
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVPWeNV0WE
Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbAyqA1UWn
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQhylZLK5m
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWkUzww33g
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bi69ETGKA
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdXB9eomzg
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7sWxsvyq9
"No, you just did that because you wanted us out of your hairs for a while." I gave Lee the I-know-your-plan look.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECvXlVKjJK
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyUgR5TLbL
"Wow, you really know me that well." She chuckled. "But you can't deny it; leaving you here to work with B.A.P may be just what you need to make progress on the song."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI8WPjR3Ns
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniv2ozM5OQ
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguopq6D3Bq
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0DlYna9Rb
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnrTPf9roR
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RN2w0pTDn
"Sometimes you need to motivate people by saying such things," she answered. "It might not seem like it, but you saw how excited they were."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcowvYRVsa
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5AeT9lDQA
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln7liCvNoG
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7br1s0PLBT
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAf3xKt3Nr
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtRVvbpTzh
"You'll see. The others will work so hard, the song will turn out great," said Lee as the elevator doors slide open in front of us. "It's good since you guys already have the idea. It will be more perfected this time around."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrVwv66u3S
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbwlcQymWI
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqcLrC3tHi
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4EWCVYOVb
"You do that." Lee walked into the elevator and she pressed the button to the ground floor. She soon looked at me and gave me a thumbs up. "All the best."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlqdY6mSpz
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8b9MqIzVt
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRmmmgrWgB
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQqpSpWgSh
I made my way back to the studio room and just before I reached the door, I took my phone out and sent Daesung a message. As soon as I was done, I put my phone away and entered the room.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzEsxTzAJu
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyaAWqeBF1
"Good, Sam is back," said Zoey.
Time stopped for a second. Just when Zoey said that, I knew something's up and I had to prepare for whatever it is.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPqoMaEYpa
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9csATRnE0
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByxIBpythU
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxBQzTV6IO
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiWTwQntog
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH7OYwLAEn
Just as I thought. What a bummer.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxVLQN048g
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlgxperBc6
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sWsv7Ppgm
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQamIJaFoG4
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbviJePfYH
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbYAhmoIty
"Too fast," I said as I slowly approached them. Everyone else seemed to be back to where they sat previously except for Yong-guk whom I found standing with pieces of paper in his hands.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXrgImpxG9
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIGPgDzIEr
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL7UQU9nTc
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQTFIOSDZ3
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3tmiOY7tJ
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSivGdwyTR2
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgFd97b6rP
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn6JwK4rzq
"These guys were about to start arguing," said Yong-nam as he stood up from the floor and came to stand next to me. "So, I had to calm them down."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z6DaAkhW2
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW96P55Meb6
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvMoGNdmj1
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0zx8DHLVo
Mike scoffed with his arms folded. "Ya, you can say that," he said without a care in the world, yet I felt a hint of annoyance in his voice.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMSZ6XYLtX
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pk33OEOxN
As much as I wanted to know what Yong-nam might have done or said to them, we had to deal with the main issue at hand. Whose song are we working on first?690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCppXexjdd
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEabtEgSSc2
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvtwZs9ERX
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF7kCZQ5aw
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVKUffpnck
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ44bXz1It
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3Vaxv8Rfc
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zeeIVnHhv
I scratched my head as I began to think. Both groups here are struggling to come up with lyrics for their song, so which should be worked on first? If I suggested ours, as much as B.A.P have us as their guests since we bought ourselves here, didn't seem bad at all. But B.A.P had the idea to offer us help with our song first.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYWinrl7b4
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa1murNXaN
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLhzuMBY4n
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jqvYHuGpy
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpDO2SAwya
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdquib0GbL
"The fact that they are the ones who thought of all of us helping each other, I don't see why they can't have their song worked on first," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLobY5zEgb
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWrEkbU0jj
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRycWiyxab
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7JON6yawQ
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCJiCUNyKo
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxj27UJo3x
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCIr6P91J0
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5SqNTB9U3
Mike and Christine didn't argue either. The rest of the B.A.P members smiled at me that I felt like looking away. Their smiles were suddenly making me blush for some reason.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKy2GWEEYo
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpKf9b3aTG
"Okay," said Yong-guk, everyone's eyes turned to him. "We can start working on the song right now, but before that we have to take note of time since the Toxins aren't going to stay the whole day."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2KK4wBc1A
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l4bY74eg4
"I agree," I said and Yong-nam beside me looked at the time on his watch.
"I'll be your time keeper," he said. "And this is close to 11:00 AM. The Toxins leave this place close to 4:30 PM. So each piece of work has at least two hours and thirty minutes."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2ubONvNUR
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MCKDy7VJo
"Sounds good," said Himchan.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlKWNl029i
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHln5FMnFJ
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bNm48ZmNC
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy3cAUVItq
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG21TNM4jiz
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8eNOe99Nh
The whole room had a different atmosphere to it. I could tell everyone's excited and geared up. This would be a great experience for some of us. We, Toxins already worked with BigBang on our single. But now we get to work on two songs and with a different group too.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi21cYUUVRQ
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlXJPj8ILC
I turned to look at Yong-guk. His eyes found mine and he seemed to have read my mind as we both smiled at each other.
"Let's get to work," I said.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg30CYvwHnU
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVebexmxolH
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.
