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 6:55.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoBbOxu3xf
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGHgkcjbfy
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYx3vrzQe7
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap95no32dD
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXml2gzr3Xy
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKojoGReOJ3
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXmwUQbRSE
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQfgg6d0VO
As I continued to look around the town, I heard someone coming closer behind me. I didn't turn around immediately as I said:761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLVW80Ydjs
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uMuSM75CY
"Morning, Daniel."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnJWV1X5gb
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhckSXd39D
"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?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7itzbko8te
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHiLKLxsNB
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2ZWuLRd7Y
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL2o6KftXl
"That's because I never hear your footsteps. You're a cat, remember?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgBNrsMVyK
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVrDxPTo1j
I laughed. "I know. Why are you up so early?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe7Y4nRIWQ
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHkYlaDXf9
"I just woke up. I thought you would be sleeping in too."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJpQ3dfmCS
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR7h1bvGq0
"Just like you, I also woke up."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFXrlUroBt
"Yesterday was fun, wasn't it?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLFm6sMm40
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljofiOyuso
"Ya, it was great."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR8mnTO2is
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL9q2DOTNs
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6te8vUFKFF
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl22q6Zg2a
"I'm hungry," said Daniel as he broke the silence.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GeyjYMtYE
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7aMHc2SlS
"We can order breakfast right now while the others are asleep. But no sweet stuff for you," I warned. "You had too much yesterday."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcQgz79ENB
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKeRVJJQXB
"I know, I know."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjKz56psgD
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrYCU619V5
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbtvlX8wyQ
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetUTj8qefQ
As soon as he put the phone down, he turned to look at us.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA0j9fl2PJ
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPo3VEvXXT
"I was wondering who was out at the balcony," said Collins. "I was expecting Sam or Lee to be up, not you, Daniel."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqugnmgsyhG
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUSvddzOZO
"I know, it's an improvement," said Daniel with a smile.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaQwDLxJLO
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64GfbnSxny
"Did you order our breakfast?" I asked.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBEj0D30Tg
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeS3VjBgXy
"Ummm, no, actually, someone called," said Collins.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgZcMCwzsb
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWx8zh8CLP
"How come we didn't hear the phone ring?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBM63IOlUQ
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYo1YtUIsm
"As soon as I came in, the phone started to ring and I picked it up immediately."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL01bXLKdI
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizLm18PKBB
"Oh, who was it from?" Daniel asked.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZsP4mOzMW
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCOpBiHYMW
"Some reporters want an interview with you guys over your new single with BigBang. And also on BTW."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8f8GQxggO
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx57SYcam2y
I rolled my eyes as I scoffed. "Mmm, same old, same old," I said.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknI0f46bl4
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqckVaO1ICC
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiszv5UboYm
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi8Hiz995V
"That's if she gets out of bed early," said Daniel. "Everyone's really bummed out after yesterday's event."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnTnRtN2ux
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eooHB8ze8
"Which still proves to be a success. Have you checked the number of views on your video?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRV1qBgWs0
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjIZ2L7Aun
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9js8YVmTU
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8SkJkwX4j
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNT0SptdZ2
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WBeW11k2O
"You kids are really something else," said Collins. "Okay, let me call room service so that they can bring up our breakfast."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXop847INe
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDYxjOzkAY
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyFpPSglBW
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1V4nyYVVu
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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wg35IyqH9
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTP5RyYwAq
"Well, I'm glad that you agree there is someone out there who is way tougher than you."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyDWfvwV4A
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v2Az2glsD
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZNl2fnP62
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOk7V28M40
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVrJleflnz
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P68WvE8hd
"So, what are you all planning to do today?" Collins asked as we ate.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuEbDDONSd
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIxZkalJkc
"Come to think about it, we didn't really think about it," I said as I looked at Collins.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzoRxdyHY5
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PJgFcjWmS
"Or talked about it," said Daniel.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4Hm6nRLEz
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1u4Klvazr
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI5GAdiicF
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUwYLRAZm8
"Won't that be too crowded?" I asked. "We're way to many."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIGzx8SFhh
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUBA4rgmIA
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxowA6UmcsD
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFpgPnLyVA
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfMJTENOkb
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsNCY2QPjs
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmvWeBBnQS
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb22uWIVAVt
"I agree," said Daniel raising his fork in the air.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZYJCZofTi
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrrxAQbQmo
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmWZQEO9az
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AhWEn6TVX
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. 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkUJABXHiP
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAlEud0xqy
"Did you just say songs, songs? Not 'a' song?" Daniel asked.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCRpUdwxQY
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZj7TiopV3
"Ya," Collins answered. "You guys will have a little album. Won't be more than five songs."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiH449BvNi
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1NmQb8DoN
"Five songs in two weeks?" I asked also shocked. "That's too much pressure, don't you think?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv102RgtXj
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsOHIf1HZ5
"I know. But you guys wanted BTW so badly. So, we thought it will be fun if you made an album."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOffyUdajCP
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYYxcmOdSv
"An album in two weeks. We have to come up with songs and produce them. It's going to take a lot of time."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cRrumaprd
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8967yefFF9
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQlaNNxFRh
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIeNhepj4e
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUgrY1sgCQ
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yCTt10zVd
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYhUzW2RBR
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lj2Dd5dTT
"And you think telling them now will be great?" Daniel asked.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOJVqvUdcC
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOgbMNYTCV
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmaVBC9tQg
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJWMxaB57o
"I hope the inspiration comes soon. You should prepare and tell the others as well. Right now, you're in charge."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQOpltFhit
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbmOSpsxGm
"Wait, I'm in charge of BTW?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtI4pU4goD
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad8AVU4dzM
"Yes, you're the leader."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDadgSOvIR
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZVB5LGmZG
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" I said waving my index finger. "I can't be leader."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKjKQcXPg2
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfB27ixWY4
"Why?" Daniel asked.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G2n9gxiIj
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwsFKLh0V6
"Because it's BTW and it's a huge group. I already have the four of you Toxins to deal with."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeXucQSh1d
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWjwWOHto2
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwswhwvzbeO
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6mS7r82hM
I rolled my eyes at him. "Easy for you to say because you're not the one who has been given the responsibility."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvm4oRgwqq
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2mzmGOvMC
Daniel smiled at me. "Good point."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrya65iW3R
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdvAeMJBCY
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6j7QHClU0
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQOJ4aOXVf
"But why can't it be someone like Mino or Seungyoon? Jisoo or Jennie? Zoey or Mike?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bMdiiXoII
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf79cyb4Gc
Daniel raised an eyebrow at me and so did Collins. Then they both started to laugh.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b9zGsgMdI
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB30htq4dD
"What's so funny?" I asked.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUMOXWh8wC
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqx4fPOkwP
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCQB3rUPNk
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kCz39TV1k
"Well, Zoey's the one who came up the group name. Don't you think she deserves to be leader?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Av6B261Vk
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTCHXq0R1O
Collins and Daniel looked at each other and then back at me. They knew I had a point somehow.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS6uYrJRdu
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg5Q3Xhlxw
"We know," said Collins. "But unfortunately, we need someone to push everyone to their best these next two weeks. And that person is you."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYq8H4cBug
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY0bucG83h
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAOGll5DrI
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpRHlKSYUB
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynTSGb1XjF
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrZSlWXUhk
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzAbqMf6a4
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOSvYsdtuk
"Sure," Daniel and I said at the same time.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGyG3IOTFe
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwb4fHKBNo
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIQmh1lj5N
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UZd4JbI0s
"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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYXVE2psBL
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRusN7uc2W
"The usual," I said as I lifted the glass of orange juice to my lips. "Straight and simple."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOMebTIsll
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsROAeNAlF
"Mmm, we're really in for it, aren't we?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHrNgTQFDA
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRv8y5dHF7
"Totally. We wanted BTW and we got it without thinking of the consequences."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20eSETqZiE
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc2Y8sQrmj
"Yikes. I know of one person who might laugh at us right now."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPtDxCRccz
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAh3qAIjA1
I drank my juice as I knew who Daniel was talking about.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZkfUkXnUx
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqRoLNVXqu
"G-Dragon," we both said at the same time.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75UNoo0dgx
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvptbfIOIRD
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aYLLguP9E
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX4jkiUMKy
"Morning," I greeted her as I was drying my wet hair.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNWAirHe52
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rwE11VqEo
She yawned before she answered, "morning. Did you just get up a few minutes ago?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGlJyk8zVk
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIQtZiQZYM
"No. I actually woke up like an hour ago. You better take a shower and eat your breakfast."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBMMCmE3G0
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bOtER2h02
"Why? Are we going somewhere today?" she asked as she rubbed her sleepy eyes.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMq3uOyJ19
"I don't know. Maybe." I shrugged my shoulders. "Just go take a shower."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeHeyFtF00
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy74fBM34m
"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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL41wIK6HiE
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXDdRVPkEW
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWM8DIO88I
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyte35CY5JC
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8wXb9MsBL
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4LnHxiy3b
After that was done, I went on to post something:761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ914Q2Cc7v0
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1c9JK7mkv
"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....."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejo0KqR7EU
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs9v4eYBxx
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:761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rdlcs4k9g
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtAX7jpS7R
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xX2Q4Pe0I
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh2sBuKNVL
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTHMxrpb6N
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpkhZp1EsG
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OKUphSjVF
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ1qi8hGky
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjmeukt2Cw
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXQ9XxdYrr
"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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU9Pvr5S9e
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQC29s87oJ
"Morning," I said. "Oh, Collins said you should call him when you get up."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNNFm8cIJk
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemAPV4G7k0
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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qbtjuBdmO
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOYT2LArSd
Just as she turned around to leave, she stopped. She turned around again and looked at me.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVyMeZjjZf
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7SJvJDwEw
"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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDQVeDIGRl
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9jIouC24t
"Oh, my. Collins told you the plan, didn't he?" Lee asked, her eyes now wide awake.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcyduh3alg
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadjp8kLrU2
"Ya," I answered as I shrugged my shoulders. "Daniel and I were the unfortunate ones to hear it straight from his mouth."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CZkp7e6Sf
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA8mM5CbSo
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC2pnZLEHO
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e3sZ4riC4
"That's why I'm here. But so far, I can't seem to come up with a single idea for one song."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwATXR8HZbj
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZJiynyeeA
"It will come around. It always does."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVec921AL1
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YRqh6NW9m
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65Vsu33GoM
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UBHjsvm95
"Did someone say help?" Daniel asked as he came into the lounge. "Morning Lee."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJac753iF0
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAbfWD97Hm
"Morning," Lee greeted him. "Have you told these guys they are making an album?" she asked as she looked at me.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu60L7kVsI
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHlT9C8WhA
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZpQ63gS7P
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KLWo5bX4i
"You made a group chat?" Daniel asked looked at his phone that he carried in his hand and checked. "Oh, I see it."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j5tEBEzPk
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1kUkRTqJ7
"Has anyone responded yet?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QeD3DpSUf
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK4vsl8twg
"No, it's like everyone is still asleep. Or probably just ignoring their phones."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRFGViwRPR
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWht2psfFU
"They are asleep for sure," said Lee. "Christine's still in bed."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1ss2N3nIi
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYYYXy1kiC
"Mike just got into the shower," said Daniel.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrGBBRcUsj
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xauJI7VdA
"And so did Zoey," I said. "I won't tell them there and then in case the news would make them lose their appetite."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefUzNbt5JO
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHQSVsWSyF
"Good call," said Lee. "I'll catch you guys later." And she soon left the lounge.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsxf7yZcpB
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAR0CFhTWl
"Any ideas, yet?" Daniel asked as he came to sit next to me on the couch.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq0pt6DG5X
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFebVnOt8pI
"Does this answer your question?" I asked as I showed him my blank notepad.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWzCzN3s2V
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb9yconU9b
"Well, there are also no crumpled papers on the floor, so, this is a bad sign."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMx6VF1SAR
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9jCZ4cDKw
"A bad one indeed. Do you have any ideas?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVj0PJRIlk
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvP6WJNXAr
"To be honest, no."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2STHh7OwiZ
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNu0y7EJdH
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V6FlJY3qC
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxaVJjuu5N
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gUkdZL73c
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oU9Yl6HlG
"Maybe all you need is inspiration like you suggested earlier."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqeyEDjkVG
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jtg6QsGUh
"I wonder where I'm going to get it from. Can you check if anyone else in the group has responded to the message?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTW1RFVUqI
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WxtjsNGB5
Daniel did just that and still there was nothing.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvK9mc3e37
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0EwD40HY6
"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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4PJJZeegE
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u8sHVRIWv
"Heartbreak," he answered. "We haven't done a heartbreak song in a while."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ECIfLPUkQ
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzMyvfh8Qv
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?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6UVgVYL3M
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmUUWxEaAE
"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?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJr3QHI5U5
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRit2I9o3UJ
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLjlR6fWCW
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8U967iNi3
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoEZNxsLPR
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktjeJx1Mcl
I paused for a minute as I thought over Daniel's statement. An idea sparked in my head.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4RxBvlkZT
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXmcy8vOn2
I quickly wrote it down. Daniel looked at me and he stood up from his seat so as to see what I had written.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIfc5aPov2
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLBFqS2kd3
"Your idea might have given me a better one," I said as I looked at him.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmTv5MVXUS
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXC98tYdSX
"Okay, what have you come up with?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PXh3qaUSz
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX4VNFLdd0
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeU4l9RMW9
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNlNpvlQwQ
"I just heard my name," said Zoey as she came into the room. She saw Daniel and I standing alongside each other.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55HycZUl4B
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6Pu9zrPqm
"Morning, Zoey," said Daniel.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6pKQ2AISW
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaZwcwvsKj
"Morning," Zoey replied with a smile. That assured me that she hadn't seen the message yet. "Oh, breakfast. I'm starving."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuaRuf89Po
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVXO5X1ddf
She settled herself at the dining table. Daniel and I went back to the song.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGZPT1ci0g
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLCEPLnO31
"Okay, so you want to write on your point of view. How?" he asked.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ4b1rUJYM
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2KNIpaZlt
"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?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67Hh1Ke4NX
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB0Yz29cF1
"Ya," he nodded his head.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWGYOOGdaz
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9POl3uVyry
"Are you guys writing a song?" Zoey asked as she ate her breakfast.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQGZmCuIJf
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv6eErkEbn
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqPhNLkwFV
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJpVwSzCjX
Daniel looked at what I wrote on the notebook. "A Sad Song," was what I wrote.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcipcYbeM6
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lanZerQ56
"A sad song? So, it will be a sad heartbreak song or what?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid12dFFvcZ
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PDn4mw8Sa
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tnTuwjMeX
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0at4VL7olk
"Make a sad song sound fun? How?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ4pHZ05Pp
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2flzIMnTb
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwfRymt2zE
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH6mUi09zG
"You know when there are those times you just want to sit down and listen to a sad song to cure your broken heart?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabHLz7RQ5C
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppbThfyAOp
"Ya, except that sad songs kind of make it worse."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ1Vcnr16V
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMQg6NcKML
"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?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIgoZWROmN
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1t6EiPCJC
"Wait, so you never used to feel bad after your fights with GD?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJheGD3Bwy
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwtt1BFJZb
"I would. But sometimes you just try to find a sad song to comfort you but it doesn't really come to mind."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvuB1xYosd
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrEoLxnWeK
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoFVH4q1Gi
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdav12SNZS
"We are making an album!?" she exclaimed.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRltH7szDo
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqGJvSsHsF
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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY6Mx5ZDIN
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdayduQBJH
"Wait, what?" Mike asked. "Did you just say we are making an album?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLet1eq1EvY
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkagXkyN1BQ
"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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcdqM1Ca4P
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpLgFMyVnb
"Tell me this is one of your brilliant lies, Sam," said Mike. "You're pretty good at them and you know it."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ4OeRl9qR
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIEV42ty8y
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnxqgxvaNj
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm6qrpYbJF
"By 'we' you mean-?" Zoey asked.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pCGwlfNir
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUeURsVK45
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCx6GZXaDV
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpRA8yzzxS
"Five songs!" Mike couldn't believe it. "We have two weeks and we have five songs to write and produce."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZndiaEx8L
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvwZpKOTkM
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKw04ZpRow
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonm7uRtTA8
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IVfjl9WYX
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IAicvuWFd
"Has anyone in the group responded yet?" I asked. 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa0Z3BpNsY
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYYCkzXelB
"I saw a few messages just now," said Mike. "Looks like the others aren't happy about this either."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKX8htBsB3
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk6AoH2yyY
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TWVSIQkgJ
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfTxbnephv
"Great," said Christine, rolling her eyes. "There will be one person who would be laughing at us because of this."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9WhJQyv9R
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvwMOgtEgw
"G-Dragon," the five of us responded at the same time with annoyance.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvvMVGt8zc
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyx9XK6nZq
"Okay, turn those frowns around, everyone," said Daniel. "We have a busy day ahead."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z9hzRy3Zm
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMCEe3VPpc
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmetFhXfmoR
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28s7ffukWU
"Tell me you're the leader, Sam," said Christine as she looked at me, standing at the doorway of the lounge.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9G3moXa41
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotOoibhFAc
"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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXRf1FOwS3
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6OYFWo3Mw
"Now, go get ready," I said as Christine rushed into the hall. "We have an album to make."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECF7k9eDXe
