After I yawned and stretched on my comfortble bed, I turned around to the side where I could see the window. It was morning alright and a Saturday too. That meant I could sleep till whenever, but at the moment, I didn't feel like sleeping in late since I was already awake. I sat up on my bed and checked the time on my phone that had laid next to my bed lamp all night as usual. It was only 6:55.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE95zVf9Xb
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7STjXqsUBf
I kicked away the bed covers and stood up from my bed. I continued to stretch some more before making my way to the bathroom. Zoey was still fast asleep. I really admired people like her who knew they had to sleep in on a weekend.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUAvTRi8Xm
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXj58ELpR3
After brushing my teeth and washing my face a little to help me be wide awake, I went back in the bedroom, wore my sleeping gown and bed slippers, then made my way out of the room into the hall. It was quiet. So quiet that I could hear the noise of the traffic outside as I made my way into the lounge. There were cars honking, cars accelerating unto the road and some people calling out to each other as they went about their daily business.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4okc02y0qg
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuTlTWtFx4
I made my way to the balcony, opened the door and stepped out. The air outside was nice and refreshing. I looked down the balcony where I could see the main road outside the hotel premises. Even on a weekend, people still seemed to be busy, most of them, I bet, were going to work. Others were probably going somewhere spending the weekend with their friends and families.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGxMiiMCUh
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgdBARJKps
As I continued to look around the town, I heard someone coming closer behind me. I didn't turn around immediately as I said:749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDa4tBOyyn
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqqIie4hi7
"Morning, Daniel."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbnB3XDWdH
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrfdiUEW9U
"Dang it!" Daniel muttered as he came to stand by my side. He was also in his sleeping robe. "How did you know it was me?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlxUgJdprG
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwI0iC13EA
"I don't know," I said as I smiled at him. "Maybe it's because you're always trying to get back at me for creeping up on you sometimes."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2d7Fy4jVf
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc65Bq8Smc
"That's because I never hear your footsteps. You're a cat, remember?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOK6V20wmE
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPfnhEXoYj
I laughed. "I know. Why are you up so early?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mB2Qzck81
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs8MX02DU4
"I just woke up. I thought you would be sleeping in too."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDPXGnCx1Q
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mfxS9D5jW
"Just like you, I also woke up."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eoyoPaMlv
"Yesterday was fun, wasn't it?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTjT0dBasB
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgxpEOEuua
"Ya, it was great."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVVJSiSkWt
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLutulQLdvR
The two of us continued to look out around the city of Seoul from the balcony. We didn't say a word as we just stood there and watched for a while.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7u13iYaRN
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSni7vNdn93
"I'm hungry," said Daniel as he broke the silence.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRrBXLGHyp
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IOgw8QrkM
"We can order breakfast right now while the others are asleep. But no sweet stuff for you," I warned. "You had too much yesterday."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xSbho8uls
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnU3TAkiWT
"I know, I know."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gfhwLwWRe
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1mz98Hysn
The both of us went back inside the lounge and we found Collins by the hotel landline. Hopefully, I thought, he was ordering our breakfast.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1dIdAVDJ6
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDpmjIut5c
As soon as he put the phone down, he turned to look at us.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzWd1kuetF
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8COyXnWCT
"I was wondering who was out at the balcony," said Collins. "I was expecting Sam or Lee to be up, not you, Daniel."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaHRSikpKq
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9n2WMit86
"I know, it's an improvement," said Daniel with a smile.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTvBKtwK0o
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsooNVInau
"Did you order our breakfast?" I asked.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwttnByWrAG
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN69et9HH33
"Ummm, no, actually, someone called," said Collins.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucA58s19gE
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnfeIFYjU5
"How come we didn't hear the phone ring?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MWr0gtJer
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvvHlHMYGk
"As soon as I came in, the phone started to ring and I picked it up immediately."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz8TKDJ90A
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt1EpXgf25
"Oh, who was it from?" Daniel asked.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPmiZROyLu
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLgxnW1B2s
"Some reporters want an interview with you guys over your new single with BigBang. And also on BTW."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDKkzZplA9
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQRwSVZjaC
I rolled my eyes as I scoffed. "Mmm, same old, same old," I said.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FtbG9waBX
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbBFnOUOF7
"Ya, so the phone will be pretty busy at some point during the day, so, you shouldn't mind at all. I should let Lee take care of it."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdbGYKtOte
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnG9h1V36l
"That's if she gets out of bed early," said Daniel. "Everyone's really bummed out after yesterday's event."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUOgOnOgJo
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuB9jR1k0E
"Which still proves to be a success. Have you checked the number of views on your video?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRGxLP5JIa
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX4FMDNJCU
"I don't want to know right now. I would check on that later. I like to be surprised by the number when I least expect it."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0KGV8jAnl
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDttPcmPWEd
"I agree with my brother," I said. "Besides, I don't think I'm in the mood to look at my phone early in the morning."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdFvkpOb3j
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ft6otCwKF
"You kids are really something else," said Collins. "Okay, let me call room service so that they can bring up our breakfast."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKmZ4IYVt3
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dFINF1BhA
"Thank you," said Daniel as he sighed in relief. "You just read my mind. I'm hungry. Oh, and no sugary stuff for me, please. Sam warned me that I shouldn't have anymore."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBEfV1cdF5
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TKD5BmEWP
Collins raised an eyebrow at Daniel. "I know," he said. "Your mum would kill me if she ever finds out. She's as tough as nails."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE0vNHKedw
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PuBrx6pE7
"Well, I'm glad that you agree there is someone out there who is way tougher than you."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lGfM9gn1r
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGI6XdZHj6
Collins just shook his head at Daniel while I placed my hand on his head and ruffled his short black hair. Collins soon picked up the hotel landline and called for room service to bring up our breakfast.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHmMaUvUzz
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc23XTAtpc
It was still just the three of us now settled at the dining table after our breakfast arrived. Collins made sure to order toast, eggs and bacon for all of us so that Daniel could have a non-sweet healthy breakfast. There was coffee and juice for any of us who preferred either.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZO1djPta3
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ9VjbldYN
"So, what are you all planning to do today?" Collins asked as we ate.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5Y2aUduAQ
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2G83jumtf
"Come to think about it, we didn't really think about it," I said as I looked at Collins.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxRKhalVzu
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51xphpYPRx
"Or talked about it," said Daniel.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJJ7TXjpoo
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYeVXM0SAv
"Maybe you guys could do an interview today?" Collins suggested. "But again, it seems too soon and the reporters would really like BTW and BigBang to be there."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvuZXcx2NZ
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7HYZDSCON
"Won't that be too crowded?" I asked. "We're way to many."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtLY4NWaLz
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmfVlZFQJC
"Please, Sam," said Daniel. "There are K-Pop groups whose numbers are more than the four groups combined and they carry out interviews just fine."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa78igJTfn
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZu1iFSdXV
"Daniel's right. But then again, we wouldn't want to make it too complicated," said Collins. "So, I think it would be okay if each leader in each group attend the interview. But I have to run it through Yang Hyun-Suk first. I bet he has also been receiving calls like I have."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE2ny9MTcq
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv5PZPVgbD
"Yes, but let's not do it on a weekend," I said. "We've had such a busy week and I bet what everyone wants to do is just stay in and get enough rest as possible."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ270lctysWR
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTrk6JUNbe
"I agree," said Daniel raising his fork in the air.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MvgHDbGEi
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvfycoIO1i
"Yes, you guys can rest for the entire weekend," said Collins. "But let's not forget that on Monday we are on a tight schedule from then onwards. BTW has to be right on track with creating new songs."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOaocWygDg
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3noWqgVJvt
Daniel dropped his fork after he had just picked up the bacon he had cut out and wanted to put in his mouth. I for one, almost choked on my orange juice as I gently placed the glass down on the table. 749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZccWjM4zT
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P5bPFrlZ5
"Did you just say songs, songs? Not 'a' song?" Daniel asked.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mP8dOWeBY
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCzVyBpzXG
"Ya," Collins answered. "You guys will have a little album. Won't be more than five songs."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35LdfCGboC
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxxp7371bm
"Five songs in two weeks?" I asked also shocked. "That's too much pressure, don't you think?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIKcmfLvAP
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM1J5EsIaa
"I know. But you guys wanted BTW so badly. So, we thought it will be fun if you made an album."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYX6QadCTx
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ9LlsynTA
"An album in two weeks. We have to come up with songs and produce them. It's going to take a lot of time."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIfeSdk36h
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUyy4K2kmb
"We know. That's why the three combined groups have excellent song writers, producers and choreographers. So whatever happens, you will all be fine. Remember, this isn't the first time you have worked under pressure."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7mubxUlxn
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto68bVRCtE
Daniel and I looked at each other and we knew he was right. Going through this obstacle wasn't going to be the first time for us, Toxins. We had gone through hard times after our debut turned out to be a disaster and the five of us at that time, had to make it work the second chance we got. And it really did count. Some would have called it luck. Others would have called it hard work. But the five of us called it putting our life on the line.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSI3PDoRLz
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3slVFceNlT
"So," continued Collins as we went back to looking at him. "I hope you will be able to break this news to the group. We wanted to tell you all this yesterday but everyone was in a good mood."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY48O2fEdP
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aFRwmIcrK
"And you think telling them now will be great?" Daniel asked.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi32eX4Nt8
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRl8PWZHSp
"Not really, no. But it's best you know this today rather than on a Monday when you've had a good weekend of rest."
"I can get started on some lyrics," I said. "But it isn't going to be easy. I need some inspiration to write."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHtI7Usfeg
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBotn7bukg
"I hope the inspiration comes soon. You should prepare and tell the others as well. Right now, you're in charge."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPnTnaezeJ
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zYnU6ewl2
"Wait, I'm in charge of BTW?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJHe1R6c5p
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAQrRZvAdY
"Yes, you're the leader."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ylyNqUifO
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8wOVewUSR
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" I said waving my index finger. "I can't be leader."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7R6JtHXoN
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfmmzVoPJ1
"Why?" Daniel asked.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3srAF63244
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4yRYo0b7Q
"Because it's BTW and it's a huge group. I already have the four of you Toxins to deal with."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFIKKCdWsr
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEjmUPMK57
"Ya, but what does it got to do with the others? The rest are more mature than we are, so, handling them will be fine."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GsYNu2jTF
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqbFeUP5FX
I rolled my eyes at him. "Easy for you to say because you're not the one who has been given the responsibility."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGcdWeKECx
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPen2w3HkOz
Daniel smiled at me. "Good point."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyp1Xz9HCH
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZV5hNoIgo
"Sam," said Collins. "I know you don't want this, but Yang Hyun-suk thinks the same too. There is no better person to take up this role."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxsiKVlhyN
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUrPSQVY57
"But why can't it be someone like Mino or Seungyoon? Jisoo or Jennie? Zoey or Mike?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmZ7gNDDGn
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEO8G5di8k
Daniel raised an eyebrow at me and so did Collins. Then they both started to laugh.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6xDy7D0vg
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtV5emFzCm
"What's so funny?" I asked.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UrgC3BTBF
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruYoKcPc5x
"I can't believe you thought of Zoey, but, let's face it, Sam," said Collins."You have been chosen by Yang Hyun-suk and I to lead BTW."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7rb1zogRK
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2obKPLimIX
"Well, Zoey's the one who came up the group name. Don't you think she deserves to be leader?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbsCqPhFba
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgHgfg1BCs
Collins and Daniel looked at each other and then back at me. They knew I had a point somehow.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRvSbQJ4pW
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcsfjSbe2z
"We know," said Collins. "But unfortunately, we need someone to push everyone to their best these next two weeks. And that person is you."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZtOSui1mW
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDflK50a3H
If I was a kid, I would thrown my arms and legs in the air and wailed to make a point, but I wasn't. I should have seen this coming. We never thought of who should be the leader. We should have chosen amongst ourselves instead of the managers doing it for us.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn0ePe8bfO
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaYLHdyECP
"Fine," I said as I folded my arms. "I'll make a call or send a message to the others and see where we can start."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKiPTaguj3
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe092hID8b
"And that's why we chose you," said Collins as he smiled at me. "Now, I have to go about my business. When Lee wakes up, tell her to call me."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K9OP4zXTY
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt0EJDIIgR
"Sure," Daniel and I said at the same time.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDVeUtVmQn
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCkLlQ19cC
Collins soon stood up from the table and left for his room. He must have gone to pick up a few things before leaving. It was just Daniel and I at the table now.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp5m7nYBkd
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIjY2UjNXW
"So, how are you going to break it out to all of BTW that we are making an album?" Daniel asked as he continued to eat his breakfast.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN2QjzMHoW
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GibVzCfMP
"The usual," I said as I lifted the glass of orange juice to my lips. "Straight and simple."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AfpFd27AJ
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAWyUCytcN
"Mmm, we're really in for it, aren't we?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWjwdit9Go
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1pCpFQph8
"Totally. We wanted BTW and we got it without thinking of the consequences."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjQUjkhsiz
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbE2CJK68A
"Yikes. I know of one person who might laugh at us right now."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrLKLD5yyN
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWKI5d0Eo1
I drank my juice as I knew who Daniel was talking about.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK5BsZqTCM
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4phWEDMKVw
"G-Dragon," we both said at the same time.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYRHArtJz0
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRD8vSRlLv
After we finished our breakfast, Collins finally left. Then, Daniel and I both went to our rooms to take a shower. Just as I was done, I walked back into the bedroom and Zoey was wide awake and seated on her bed.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVdUmy7zhy
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH8WhRPM2P
"Morning," I greeted her as I was drying my wet hair.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF1fXKyKKg
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgtQPsdR4K
She yawned before she answered, "morning. Did you just get up a few minutes ago?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtfFk9pDJm
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7hP4quEVk
"No. I actually woke up like an hour ago. You better take a shower and eat your breakfast."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp3ITjSH0P
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aBSNpYtUX
"Why? Are we going somewhere today?" she asked as she rubbed her sleepy eyes.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUllQD0Brmw
"I don't know. Maybe." I shrugged my shoulders. "Just go take a shower."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNTCvLtZRt
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFdUWYdx0H
"Okay, I'm going." Zoey pushed aside her bed covers and got out of bed. In her sleepy state, she walked all the way to the bathroom.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAmNJDrUns
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfToGHAXwO
As soon as she had locked the door behind her, I took my phone that was on my bedside and went online. I had messages coming in from all over. From the fans, famous artists and celebrities who were commenting about the video and all. I had a bunch of email too and two of them came from both my mum and dad. I made sure to reply to them first. I'll get to replying to the other messages later.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dlEmLxjdq
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrwF6bs2HC
I soon went on my WhatsApp app and ignoring all the messages that were coming in, I went on to make a group consisting of BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER, a.k.a, BTW. Luckily, apart from the four Toxins, I had the others' phone numbers and I immediately added them all in the group.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNQjfU6Alm
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZMg66QPx4
After that was done, I went on to post something:749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVNkMWXdEj
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1Msi7d6YG
"Morning everyone. Some of you are asleep right now and would see this message earlier on, but I have something to tell you and I don't know if you're going to like it. We, as in BTW, are going to make an album and I was told this morning by Collins. So, we have to gather together....."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQDKP88VIN
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32vSXMA7Fl
I thought about the message and erased it. I heard Zoey turn on the shower. I didn't know how I was going to write this. I did tell Daniel that I was going to keep it straight and simple. I started to type and this time I wrote:749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROQLD1L4Bc
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu63P4ZM9Yx
"Morning everyone, Sam here. Big announcement: We're going to make an album and we have to start working on it fast. We only have two weeks, so let's make it count."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS484rTOcMj
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTBd4mLycg
I looked at the message again and I realized I sounded like some of my high school teachers whenever they were announcing about a test or a quiz. They were simple and straightforward and I hoped my message portrayed the same even when I knew others might not like it. Besides, most of us never liked it when our teachers announced about having tests like that either. I guess we just had to deal with it.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3YL5CJQVY
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d86ZlBrVL
I quickly dressed up and since I had a feeling that I wouldn't be going out today, I wore comfy clothes. A cotton white t-shirt and a blue cotton trousers that wasn't so tight. After drying my hair, I tied it up into a rough bun and I got my notebook and pen in the drawer then went out to the lounge and sat on the couch.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WTGdl0LKi
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlIvI93EaL
A good ten minutes had passed and as I sat there with the top of my pen tapping against my forehead and my notebook on my lap, I couldn't come up with an idea for a song or any random lyrics. This wasn't pretty. We only had two weeks. I really needed people here so that we can work all this out.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjDweBpoh4
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mPJvgxAO0
"Morning," came Lee whom I hadn't heard come into the lounge. She was still in her white night dress with her white night gown.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ptmGLTHkd
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjUMdCGR4C
"Morning," I said. "Oh, Collins said you should call him when you get up."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB79wwnwCBI
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG3THUCFww
Lee yawned. "Okay. I really needed the extra sleep and I have never felt so good. I'll just go freshen up and call him."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FyQMKQDoK
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UdGNuKrG4
Just as she turned around to leave, she stopped. She turned around again and looked at me.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWofIoku0K
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7AyiT0ZVh
"Wait," she said. "You're here alone with your notebook and pen." I looked at her as she paused for a bit. It looked like she was trying to put something together.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aB2Pd0voq
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBllsCTC65
"Oh, my. Collins told you the plan, didn't he?" Lee asked, her eyes now wide awake.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv9ANey91m
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefYyGZI7do
"Ya," I answered as I shrugged my shoulders. "Daniel and I were the unfortunate ones to hear it straight from his mouth."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM73ndF7Cu
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHknWTp9dwJ
"I thought he was going to tell you guys, like, tomorrow. But I think it's good you know about it now. We only have two weeks."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvhMkpMOF8
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYsBYvyfxo
"That's why I'm here. But so far, I can't seem to come up with a single idea for one song."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLaKlk2yAI
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJniKtphtFF
"It will come around. It always does."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA06g7dHLTN
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJy7XkBgfO
"I need inspiration," I said as I threw my head back against the couch. "That's what I need. And a lot of my team's help."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ueh5O2sXp
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jXROwCCnX
"Did someone say help?" Daniel asked as he came into the lounge. "Morning Lee."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFa8Iwiniy
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtnfej6qwL
"Morning," Lee greeted him. "Have you told these guys they are making an album?" she asked as she looked at me.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8JiuXVQm6
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI4JhqNR3E
"I've gone as far as creating a WhatsApp group to inform the others," I answered. "They will get the message and contact me immediately."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6EwJI1kjD
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3GAUBev3T
"You made a group chat?" Daniel asked looked at his phone that he carried in his hand and checked. "Oh, I see it."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdD8x3UjGZ
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9gPASr1I4
"Has anyone responded yet?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4Z8FkdR5w
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuRCjSepUD
"No, it's like everyone is still asleep. Or probably just ignoring their phones."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAM7VYFpDL
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuoXrLr6kb
"They are asleep for sure," said Lee. "Christine's still in bed."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNApRH1pFX
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyCPrwFkxQ
"Mike just got into the shower," said Daniel.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1441T0QNpo
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1ecJDx8tx
"And so did Zoey," I said. "I won't tell them there and then in case the news would make them lose their appetite."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvfIUBqYQi
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx5gViMD8Z
"Good call," said Lee. "I'll catch you guys later." And she soon left the lounge.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvTS0Cknht
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfQALd3JJR
"Any ideas, yet?" Daniel asked as he came to sit next to me on the couch.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtNaDe0Yi0
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJDWTLBYRb
"Does this answer your question?" I asked as I showed him my blank notepad.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9whDfjbINh
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl86y1dT7gK
"Well, there are also no crumpled papers on the floor, so, this is a bad sign."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3HlI6fpoA
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOLDm32w2j
"A bad one indeed. Do you have any ideas?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0bgt6Xr60
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c2FDVjHbA
"To be honest, no."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuC5Kqh9yi
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8tQTKmSqG
The two of us sat there in silence, then just when I thought an idea was emerging, it quickly sank deep within the depths of my mind.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUDr6nEMlP
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5EPDTWOxb
"I thought I had it," I said as I later on sighed. "I think this weekend was really meant for resting. Right now, I can't think straight."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8a9k1Ietq
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiw51FdxHb
"Maybe all you need is inspiration like you suggested earlier."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgfV1dUUGy
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5C9BItxzb
"I wonder where I'm going to get it from. Can you check if anyone else in the group has responded to the message?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw0vDfHen1
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5abf1caHU
Daniel did just that and still there was nothing.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIll5EwUA58
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeQ0pkS3BE
"Okay, this isn't working," I said as I stood up from the couch, leaving the notebook and the pen behind on the seat. I started to pace up and down. "Our first song what should it be about?" I pointed my finger at Daniel as he was the only one there.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hljqtRygv
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdBq0ZJRIw
"Heartbreak," he answered. "We haven't done a heartbreak song in a while."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkVTNkvmci
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMdJMopz15
I took my pen and notebook and wrote. "Okay, heartbreak. But you know heartbreak songs are easily written when you've really gone through one. Has anyone been in one lately?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95xWuBuSrk
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFez7OGIof
"I guess not." Daniel stared up at the ceiling and I could tell that his mind wheels were turning. "You and Zoey had gotten into a fight some time ago over G-Dragon, didn't you?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdCCi8T0Ar
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RG32EtE60
"Ya, some of us wouldn't want to talk about it. Besides, it wasn't much of a big deal. Zoey didn't go much into a heartbreak because she believed that I had betrayed her."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCqVv7sP1u
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cD42CQ5it
"You know, it's not always about the girl losing the guy she likes that hurts. Even friendship with her best friend goes into jeopardy."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEeWc30qwe
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cJTry9KqG
I paused for a minute as I thought over Daniel's statement. An idea sparked in my head.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnskJxctxIt
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWx38FGFBL
I quickly wrote it down. Daniel looked at me and he stood up from his seat so as to see what I had written.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYB0RNHrVr
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0pst8QNV8
"Your idea might have given me a better one," I said as I looked at him.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw7V33HeI4
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4fuEPLv9U
"Okay, what have you come up with?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9xQcFRpKH
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2J4EgCDem
"As I suggested earlier, heartbreak songs are better when you've been through it yourself. So, instead of writing the song in Zoey's point of view, I thought of writing it on mine."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8UNPOJ3As
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9n8cGObat
"I just heard my name," said Zoey as she came into the room. She saw Daniel and I standing alongside each other.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutSjIOqYlm
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkQbRjK6pI
"Morning, Zoey," said Daniel.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO1y3JkKJj
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzombyaat85
"Morning," Zoey replied with a smile. That assured me that she hadn't seen the message yet. "Oh, breakfast. I'm starving."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHJbQ64035
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0S3XzO8NZ
She settled herself at the dining table. Daniel and I went back to the song.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zk2K3lWf5
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx2DinBv5N
"Okay, so you want to write on your point of view. How?" he asked.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtmf6Km3bS
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEP4OURAec
"You know how G-Dragon and I are always having a go at each other and that at some point in time it became totally serious?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMjGju45zU
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXDODokUeu
"Ya," he nodded his head.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ104B6BtdIa
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5f9VFoDFq
"Are you guys writing a song?" Zoey asked as she ate her breakfast.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sV4IDPPxC
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWGWWDzfcr
"Kind of," I answered. I went back to Daniel. "So, as much as it was heart breaking, I think I can come with an idea from it."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKURfSIjVk
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2haVXx9RX
Daniel looked at what I wrote on the notebook. "A Sad Song," was what I wrote.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPpjS3tQaa
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEnf1tt2BN
"A sad song? So, it will be a sad heartbreak song or what?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMkyAQqw6x
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR47Ek2pyiI
"Not really. I want to turn it around a bit. As sad as the song can be, I want to make it a little fun."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ATt1dKaza
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUd8nxTKVu
"Make a sad song sound fun? How?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmFBhr2Cix
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0GDZzmxxS
Mike soon came into the lounge and he greeted all over us as he went to join Zoey for breakfast. We all greeted him back.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NBIVD6rdz
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqc9ZZxJsT
"You know when there are those times you just want to sit down and listen to a sad song to cure your broken heart?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGMkYMxnC3
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6UAqDqYS5
"Ya, except that sad songs kind of make it worse."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf0nTejoS6
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu6cLrIODB
"Exactly. Now what if you want so badly to sing a sad song but instead, you sing a song that will make you happy despite you being broken?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGVo7B5Vz3
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkRNpnQUMg
"Wait, so you never used to feel bad after your fights with GD?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvWWfoZ7PP
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJHoxLqEeA
"I would. But sometimes you just try to find a sad song to comfort you but it doesn't really come to mind."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlhbF3geVi
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqZcm17GHS
I soon scribbled on my notebook and Daniel was right there, waiting to see what I had written. Before I was done, Christine came rushing into the lounge still in her pyjamas.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1ZquujG0Y
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOcz7xhXpH
"We are making an album!?" she exclaimed.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jscEwPGAg
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOGF3TrhEj
Time seemed to have stopped when she said those words. I looked up at her and she was looking back at me with her eyes wide open and her phone in her hand.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHZHJqESy3
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM5wqhK1TO
"Wait, what?" Mike asked. "Did you just say we are making an album?"749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu57STabwi
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XWkD2erIO
"Sam sent a message on WhatsApp saying that BTW is making an album," said Christine, her eyes still on me. "Is this some kind of prank?"
Daniel and I didn't say a word as Zoey and Mike also took their phones and checked it for themselves. Both of their faces turned as white as snow upon seeing the message. They stood up from their seats and their eyes fell on me.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN5PtpnUFg
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gyMnpaNcp
"Tell me this is one of your brilliant lies, Sam," said Mike. "You're pretty good at them and you know it."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVKxnfvCWH
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkgYQv8v5A
"Umm, as much as I want it to be a lie, I'm afraid it's true," I said as I lowered my pen and notebook and looked at the other three Toxins. "We had a talk with Collins this morning."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPA9OMiHUc
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k5ehcUXBt
"By 'we' you mean-?" Zoey asked.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rymEcxJuw
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmFAeNINHk
"Daniel and I," I answered. "We talked about it over breakfast and trust me, we didn't think that it would come to this. But the managers had agreed that we make an album of not more than five songs."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcftCEZyPX3
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBDH05vd33
"Five songs!" Mike couldn't believe it. "We have two weeks and we have five songs to write and produce."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw79KQA4Rvo
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OIkCSfQhS
"Ya, trust us, we told him the same thing and we weren't happy either," said Daniel. "We still aren't, but there is simply nothing we can do. We wanted BTW, so, this is what we get in return."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprVr77Wn5A
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeCIeiIpTj
"Dang it," said Zoey. "And here I thought we might just have a blast with one more song till we leave but instead, we get to do five."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR0y81tedt
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDQTjCSc2t
"Has anyone in the group responded yet?" I asked. 749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH65ffUOXR
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuCGQIJHGf
"I saw a few messages just now," said Mike. "Looks like the others aren't happy about this either."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs0IwJBWbz
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLWAbm1JY7
"Well, Daniel and I were planning on the first song and we really need everyone on this. I have to respond in the group and see where we can meet up. That's if anyone wants to."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTbj1zb2l6
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLJzEmV90U
"Great," said Christine, rolling her eyes. "There will be one person who would be laughing at us because of this."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBViFrg68w
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjiggjKpvJ
"G-Dragon," the five of us responded at the same time with annoyance.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpTbzBzkjl
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpjZuKyJXx
"Okay, turn those frowns around, everyone," said Daniel. "We have a busy day ahead."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUmSDfI2wf
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuGuFN8xcU
"Ya, for sure," said Christine as she made her way out of the lounge.
"Don't worry," I encouraged her. "We have been put under pressure before. And as unexpected as this is, I know we can do it."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1FxBWTMCL
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNR0L2GyVc
"Tell me you're the leader, Sam," said Christine as she looked at me, standing at the doorway of the lounge.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyUCnzZJnm
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3s2uGe15a
"I am." Christine smiled and I saw Zoey and Mike throw each other happy looks through the corner of my eye. At least that gave them some comfort.749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQHk1vmB7o
749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlJoQuwCMN
"Now, go get ready," I said as Christine rushed into the hall. "We have an album to make."749Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5x7zeEtDS
