We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0FkI0HTd3
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozp7FKnloK
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UOoxU7WDZ
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0O7n6hEm6
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYXBXs4Awn
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpqVURknkW
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB0i6ktvkn
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabmzzN9KfI
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSO2sBaedR
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGG0BAGmjx
"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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IpWuLXuwm
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGuL6mdfgb
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIBWHnFi2T
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qyjjr0RKT
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCV5CQlbwr
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC1x3zlHhY
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwivAkshytC
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidzdbPtYuY
"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."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tPl5BJGUn
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuOPjnGUrv
"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?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mpJ7WJYUF
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx088W6qubn
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?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9ZxsGB163
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXYEl07Zdd
"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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4aTZGKcrI
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jpUs1lZev
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hpeb9qDSp
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWKdtpBAWq
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNWG3T0nuc
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW0CX8mvx0
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm9yVUZVQN
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZp28sTfrJ
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TUcqP99Dq
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG3tZPLTmk
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGnnhXpnrQ
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar2V19hiwr
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfhmSoD3Jx
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjLgkZKHmX
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoU5p40RLF
"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."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtKw1TAWDH
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH12o8xAKK
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMUZExN1vf
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRBeaHQSh4
"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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKn4EKRCIe
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTynBpErW0
"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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurPgR4OmZ1
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRyXdZZvtR
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lIeJapyXq
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq3JCS1kPU
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWd63OxPmF
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzQ1VGltsi
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgWj01P1Or
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsewWTE2d2f
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVRN1wheCK
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRwx4IkzPh
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe2bAeticz
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvwJGbPyuo
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDesKJ9ygX3
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXc2H0QWHd
He screamed.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoOAR54hnQ
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtHcOZ5fst
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzqFb3nNoE
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIhVioTQ2V
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G2TUfDhSh
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfuq7nO4jP
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHKDniHM2h
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z0C2Az7Dj
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiNS3d1PPg
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P2GdAfLdQ
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByeSygpTq1
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXTf1nJf9P
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eBHD7wOAP
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsJ8H8woF9
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTjZg065XD
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigSH5n8jtu
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDhbbdFaAP
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzCZa6dVzd
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpYdIAP5zI
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rFcemoo9W
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAbYtuOzBE
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeN9NUP692
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdrJZmtpIa
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhKIGlV8JE
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7mLwwIQJK
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpgemOz8xT
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3pDhDR2y1
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHaJbS8FKp
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNgdni96M9
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXTpNFb1mk
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPV8mHyrKh
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFA1WItwzL
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26StwtGSVb
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jUjJmqxBN
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhGIFyzGxJ
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgTfFgZP4J
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxc2uk6N3X
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodXUn2nvpH
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sUxrA92BP
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUbAIrh47J
"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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlPL3bbzX7
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zE3oY9GVw
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpUf0sKfdJ
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH8x4yRC8p
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq7AkBQELl
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vW9DM6d7z
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ubYGMX8I4
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCkR3fmZ50
"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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91viLvAch7
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAbygOdSxG
"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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuyyzubQt1
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq65kSNfjsy
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18LOn5fyHo
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbiSdkav8Y
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAt0stxl3X
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RoQoMDi0P
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjp1fuujrO
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZotc7MHQTs
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtW2QvPMqZ
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p9wutdK88
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeekd3KWfl
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeRKTErv42
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ349QMQDy5H
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZM7RVDK2U
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP068B5BBor
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQUHDVpiri
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg60MXmLkcC
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGpncMmw5s
"I second to that," said Zoey.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxe3R6FlSu
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsO5E6Xhvj
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsEq06s2Qr
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2Y1OePFSR
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJRhoeAAtR
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfmelbByXR
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOHi3Yfd6A
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY64cEzGVyG
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbRhVb1o9b
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxOJWvAa5a
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTrQkqogaa
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wbag8DWpF
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy6qkZ4TyC
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw2Kqpxmt1
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pTuToLrNJ
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEERrWmzflm
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8V8ChgFa9
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpTPKMIktf
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAfukzpAgq
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI7hRYEgno
"Yep," Young-jae answered.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfVnw5lKew
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNWV0xTJhM
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjRJ1WLZDR
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0QHCUnr9C
"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."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWeejLekH9
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8XPC23JBq
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzibKtQViRD
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNl1Vcuja7
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9GTv3KyLV
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmhFzUVwbX
"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."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrG1XzaKXG
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAooRKmFwqa
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhGFJFLgyM
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9tWBzeb0d
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tAKMJg4Qg
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwD7Za6ygw
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kP4g9LWUo
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydKrni0doC
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b16097JQS
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dvhknBsfv
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQfcFRyPmQ
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF6kS7haW7
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjfMJpPdRp
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvSWXi8Z93
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wgx3B1gGL
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOKKzHd0Bn
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYIrI9a6uz
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9c5vmHXOj
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnaAEQXUB5
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ293W9cnxW0
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmyYdZoc3r
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyqUWrvX1o
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj224S9a4zc
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENgWabz0QZ
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J0kuTwi5k
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT4qzuclw2
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpklerCLHw
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrickP6gxtd
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1rlQAfshE
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9kcqNcStF
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJunXbowUIt
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOknGZedpd
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw4soN9Y8k
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WEpFkzgt6
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6P4vr54fv
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV8Obppvsy
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk2xBRuGQP
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtZrPPWTFL
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:634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwERTurv1TE
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTvbjcJbZl
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61CS8la0vG
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmU7a8QKTq
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE1odUl0j7
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZHuwWUM78
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5kWXS9gUG
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k26Z6AclK
"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."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9olOvmAiHt
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LfPw60wJj
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx7eVCGKhH
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWTdNGazIF
"What reward?" Christine asked.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Og3FIQIlx
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv92sXm4Uw
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5hHHt8lmm
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XFC0r7EIv
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfFPBzznBq
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m9ilNuWjv
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."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenLXLGi0EB
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM20Fwig6p
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTSOPeNSQ8
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHIAGCc5Mq
"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."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9vD64HB19
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg24wwdO6UC
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzqzCns1i5
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI3B1C5Gar
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVnpveS7yQ
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcHim0Kawj
"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."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUtaD5QmBj
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuxAy6AOzW
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8FcWOUqG6
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYNecw3yJx
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLARAEqs5sY
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvsoqW2Vwv
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWihDp6s67
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXXh3xx8Ur
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvQTmAuJxn
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlE7udZ7r4
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHG1ySGMA5
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a07Hl3Yav
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n6xt14gJy
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSEbmuXGKX
"We'll do our best," I said.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdLIshtChp
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKD2mTFiZL
"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcE7dspyd0
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEu5AhpWnB
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSrJVEQ0AY
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7039MYdXgj
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wlZMz7Wt3
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPV7XnpJ24
"We all did," said Daehyun.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsd2igvBAV
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxNoHt29nz
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuUr8jfLrH
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i3UbG9Mjk
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvBmE6WVW6
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOmE7DgBuD
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2344l3MwR
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgHLPx7Z3j
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8laewC9SyM
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOZGnUu7I3
"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."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uf2pug0AJ
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulU0XRxJFT
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4cNvcG00d
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCKGa62aFY
"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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmnBsyaYq9
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXrQiEFt14
Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmisLoqrGvK
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFke2yhZCnc
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzzuFLrH1e
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y9t25zkGE
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpvSvbdCFw
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJehHNfdSC
"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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWDfLiv81U
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ319DkfhPgd
"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."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gTOK8GQ82
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCAudADYlR
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyac08CRDOn
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBDAgyaxxD
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7qEtOP92B
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkJtqFSdEc
"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."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOlxeCGudV
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0GYF5iffh
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRCs3C2bFe
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowA918LpZZ
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4EZ115sOs
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIOQ8qvS0n
"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."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdi9XIjEVx
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjILgagQreQ
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQj0fhoebd
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHnG7aiMti
"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."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjp21UYraR
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbV4qwQXUc
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jnNonPrBQ
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9mvuAAphC
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwmPyWA7qe
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa8u29lWug
"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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrgYx7hnGa
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wPIno8BtQ
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPIT8xff5H
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzeOjFSnol
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe2KWwxkro
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXP4TxX4or
Just as I thought. What a bummer.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47YnQTnEV3
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRRTu6vRs9
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3evXj6skU8
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtaxVQLlut
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABziI3X08s
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalhdnrF3JJ
"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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZfSfGcZAS
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MKLPLD53C
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP9I2FBrZR
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8tIai5eJr
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSzpBw5Tal
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT6Qyqlwus
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKa7lQvJ0o
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeeqSHeU8z
"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."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEtCGUx0V0
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUnKBBtv64
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97bOTLRHkB
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3WPeJMddL
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW9GB5jio7
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBEJSgACzZ
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?634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pgbKRucxB
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLykxfRdq45
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeYB6WTS7x
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd9dk5kPK1
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ688anPAj3q
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0U9rd0Obb
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCpWBYK48s
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIr2EVNYzK
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRNFfyf0US
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVXKTLQFlZ
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu8G0Frp1J
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvtkcuQ30M
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQnb0PAfDu
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k3n1dD0tD
"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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmYKTW8h9Y
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiteArL0JyK
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDVFKhdJ7G
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPG2AGHkD4
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD1ug9qkB3
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wo7C99pVp
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDqcCvfSpf
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yV7er7TUn
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt1NsnN3MK
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrqiGcMr81
"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."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSe7uzYOk3
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiS5j5p6df
"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."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsmpAHYjkh
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWbLJKYKth
"Sounds good," said Himchan.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuTZAjlJ7F
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEUp2HF8sO
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAsNJQ1Xr2
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv6qpYdv9x
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6v4zRFGKx
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w6jUSSTab
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FzL0NP3ST
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgshWhuDma
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhlEvIv7lO
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjSdMO7pwT
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.
