"Okay, so here are the lyrics for the song," I said after writing them down.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48kSxTp7MN
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAhJsI6wdS
Everyone's attention automatically turned to me. They all fell silent. I read out the lyrics first then sang them out.
"So, what do you think?" I asked, addressing the question towards BAP.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw88vdX34t
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEpfw5BiFv
"Just admit it," said Zoey, "the song is awesome."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZmXJcyaii
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskqHPnBsde
"Zoey." Christine gave her a look that told her to keep quiet. "Let the others take it in first."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOfjauGBvb
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM3Wqt8ikh
"Zoey's right," said Daehyun. "The lyrics are great."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuv5P00otU
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpnY2iNWNj
"I now get what Daniel said," said Zelo, "the song is meant to be sad, but it's fun to sing. You can hear it with the way Sam sang it out."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJikTru8KG
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWPXAcrSO1
"You should listen to the tune," said Mike. "You'll love it."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cJ0hYw3IG
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnFyTf8QyW
"I bet that's why you went searching for the guitar," said Jongup as he looked at me.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtdYI7QGrP
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6brPe2TWZJ
"Play the guitar, Sam," Himchan insisted. "We're all dying to hear it. I bet Yong-guk can't wait any longer."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5ZJPqy3Ca
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvAevXiE8e
"Huh?" Yong-guk looked at Himchan beside him, looking confused. "No, I'm not."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDESD1iYgA0
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdbbOtBdNm
"Of course you are," said Yong-nam as he gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "Don't forget, I'm your twin."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiqbx8xsgm
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3RI1RVdQq
"Okay," I said as I took the guitar that had been laying on the table the whole time. "Let me play it, then."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tVpJHW8bH
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfTgayDmde
I positioned the guitar properly before me with my crossed legs supporting it. Before I started to strum the strings, I took in a deep breath. I played out the tune first. Afterwards, I started to sing out the chorus. It wasn't long so it ended sooner than expected.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnLyMF1YHi
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyggU9z8p3l
"Wow," said Young-jae, looking at me like he's just seen something's dazzled him. "The song's going to sound awesome."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoxfUUphHu
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdaqP3vUY1
"Thanks," I said. "Oh, before I forget," I reached out for the pencil on the table and started to write something down. "We also worked on the first verse, but we couldn't finish it up yesterday. We were having a little trouble with the words so we want to see what you guys think."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaMAjo0caX
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1EG0KQkLS
"Alright," said Yong-guk, looking to see what I was writing on the paper. "Whatever it is, I bet we can handle it."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYWOtcpSwF
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRK0vCCIk1
"Can't wait to see you try," said Christine. "But then again, if it's you two l'm not worried."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjliqZPA6T
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe4wZFtuWQ
"There you go again, Christine," I said after writing down the lyrics. "Okay, here we are." I laid down the pencil aside on the table.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OtJ8uM1pg
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdpM4yJNdE
I felt Jongup lean closer so as to see what I had written. I leaned to the side a little, but his blond hair almost covered my face. I couldn't help but take a sniff. His hair smelt really nice. Well, this seems unusual. I tried to lean away further so as not to smell him.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3GNmi8Piz
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJLQzoBZhs
"Come on, Jongup," Zelo complained. "You're distracting Sam. We all want to hear what she has written."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOG11jEi0H
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCBasghqAL
"I don't think that I'm distracting her," said Jongup as he looked at Zelo. "Right, Sam?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nvjjnx2BY
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF2mUFNHRt
It's when he turned his head to look at me that I yelped and leaned back further than before, almost falling to the floor. Instead, I ended up leaning on Yong-nam.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqip5ER8YxM
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS8K9tJckX
Jongup looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. It's either he didn't know what he was about to do or he knew and was just playing dumb.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkhKFWECZF
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS6WDjEwCn
"What's wrong, Sam?" he asked.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwKcASzTNe
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDGTKh1zOn
I suddenly blushed. He really didn't know that he had almost planted a kiss on me. Anyway, it's best not to tell him. I hope the others hadn't noticed.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ7NVCAgxG
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYodc4IqrdK
"Goodness, Jongup," said Mike, "you almost kissed my sister."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhYNkifQAX
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGi3UHavmW
And it just had to be Mike. Goodness, me!535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7pd724qiC
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0PTzHFxb4
"Huh?" Jongup looked surprised. "I did?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoUq9fY7ZO
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe34JN1trY
"And you were this close," said Zoey indicating a tiny space with her index finger and thumb.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLNBHxhPuA
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1iPqywm9d
"Oh...," Jongup turned to look at me. I was still leaning onto Yong-nam's shoulder. "I'm so sorry, Sam. Maybe I shouldn't have leaned in too close."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0iuDsHgdh
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FqRLd5ErA
"You see, I told you so," said Zelo.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0lBJdd4BN
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2BIwEgPxy
"No, I'm okay," I said as I sat upright. "Sorry for leaning on you like that, Yong-nam. I hope I'm not too heavy."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ucmq9p4W4
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnob3d3uWQk
Yong-nam cleared his throat. "Not at all," he answered. "You're actually pretty light."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGJqIybhvW
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ7Cb9rT1B
I nervously laughed, not sure whether he meant it or not.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotJkakxxRQ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyjEHBjWXy
"Wow," said Zoey as she delightfully clapped her hands together. "First Sam avoids Jongup from kissing her and then she leans onto Yong-nam who prevents her from falling. So sweet."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFLpz1oE66
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwQi9Ngx6t
"You're such a fantasist, Zoey," said Daniel as he shook his head.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JjX5sLe78
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAXkj0pDCf
"Don't mind her," I said. "Can we forget the kissing incident and focus on the song, please?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRKMzvfIm4
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpnbFYjx1z
"Sure," said Mike. "That's if we can reset Zoey's brain or else she won't stop talking about it."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYvbUaVUw2
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiQgHpQA55
"Are you saying that I'm kookoo?" Zoey asked, looking at Mike.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt37gOSko7s
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5DYEEZ4mJ
"You can argue later, you two," I said, giving them a look. "Let's try and focus."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpErerHcEIY
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2eHvNhc51
I went back to looking at the paper in front of me and read out the lyrics for them. Just like we did with BAP's song, we started coming up with lyrics. But this time, it proved to be a lot difficult than we expected. Whatever we came up with didn't really fit with the song.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxblHtuoLs
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDHfwEWxNE
"Is it just me or something's just off?" Young-jae asked.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj89LviSex
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99Vd1nIODz
"I think I feel what you mean," said Zoey as she scratched her head.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12gDcIwHAQ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E05TmhYQv
"Huh? What's Zoey saying?" Himchan asked.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVCvU94ATg
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnbiRtiA2Q
"I told you we should've rewired her brain a little," said Mike as he turned to look at me. I shook my head. Zoey on the other hand, ignored him. That's so unlike her.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMJIhRRGaQ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvmWLP1fxJ
"I feel we aren't working like we did the first time," said Christine.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCbk4SNL3m
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp1UGHBn4h
"Ya, that's what I meant," said Zoey.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEVJZ3a3hd
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL8juink4i
"We just aren't coming up with the right lyrics," said Yong-guk, "that's all."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhGHMlEeRz
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2DTbam3Dj
"Why is that?" Himchan asked.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbcOzA8Czp
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1TG8qL8e9
"Who knows," said Daniel. "What do you think, Sam?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIgLlInPXw
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDawgBrNWe
I shrugged my shoulders as I also couldn't figure out why we found it so difficult. I scratched the back of my head and pouted my lip a little.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq65XJWWiFT
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXcBTRghzM
"You look like you're about to cry, Sam," said Jongup.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTw1HGQVIi
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4Bc35NypM
"Don't mind me," I said. "I'm frustrated that we're going nowhere."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFcLjvGX5Z
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5u7t4RLYt
"Maybe we're all just tired," said Zelo.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5reHIX7Eml
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eIW1R70B7
"I felt we rested enough," said Daehyun.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQzX67zt81
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjVA29FfE6
"Or maybe we've been in the same place for too long," I suggested. "Sometimes the environment contributes greatly."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xwlHDygwD
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFa0PiGlBc
"Maybe," said Yong-guk.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZB1RsjdAO
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2DNJLtpjn
"What do you think, Yong-nam?" Christine asked as she turned to look at him.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0flB2JNx1Q
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OlYNNKEvz
He raised his arms up to stretch. As soon as he put them down, he said, "I think we're all just tired. We exhausted ourselves working on BAP's piece and thought we would do the same with this one. If you ask me, we should just call it a day and continue tomorrow."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnu1pcnOk1
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMqcnVeSbW
"Tomorrow?" Daniel looked shocked at the idea. "Won't that be a little too late for us?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYlCmbKQvT
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87A7rzXtJ6
"You're right," I said as I slapped my forehead. "We've to meet the songwriters and composers for the album. We won't have enough time."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHFppzL7Wg
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbl8CbNz1x
"Not forgetting that we should at least have something to present to Yang Hyun-suk," said Zoey.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp664XivmY
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy24DkeTfwx
"I told Collins to buy me more time, but I doubt Yang Hyun-suk will even want to hear it. Goodness, just thinking about it feels overwhelming." I buried my face into my hands.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeGW6js9Fr
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qyvs0zcrK
"Now I wish we never had to make an album," said Zoey as she leaned back on the chair and sighed.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXMbaHbVdB
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpPvuqD2AZ
"Wow, you guys are working on an album?" Jongup asked.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtodoDhKIct
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dXV6Xvam2
"Yep," I answered as I lifted my face up from my hands. "Our managers are ambitious."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXlPglBgS6
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrxTNigfJZ
"At least we don't have to worry about the other songs," said Zoey.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG5oS2MI4t
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4WN58R2mb
"But you heard what Collins said this morning, Zoey. This one has to be awesome. But the way we're so exhausted, I feel we aren't going anywhere."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJJINRCk3n
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioonPuAWbc
"I think we should take a little break," said Yong-nam.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy9BNW96Tv
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGVJ21ZR1Y
I went back first onto the floor with my eyes closed. I really did feel exhausted. Why did fatigue have to settle in like this?535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1asc5Q6ZI
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qj5FQDNxW
"You're scaring me, Sam," I heard Yong-guk say.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh9INPfx3M
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyYCpfvDKv
"Oh, don't mind her," said Zoey. "She started this and finding a way to finish it is frustrating."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurQQ8MZrbE
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGjw8HbDno
I smiled a little at what Zoey said. Starting something and not finishing it really is frustrating, especially if it involves something that you really love to do. And with time ticking by, Yang Hyun-suk and Collins will have no choice but to be disappointed tomorrow.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XEbhW8kCY
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lR3D0jOi8
"Wait..., does this mean we won't have the reward Lee was talking about?" I heard Daniel ask.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8bzBkljAR
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiccOk83TKv
I opened my eyes as I remembered Daesung's invitation. I really wish I could tell them the truth, but I held my tongue. Even if we leave this place without much progress, Lee won't hold us back because it isn't much of a reward, but an invitation to go out for an outdoor movie. I sat up.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVBOGhmoJ8
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUjIWGXYFs
"Don't worry about that, Daniel," I said. "Lee will give us that reward."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaRrKZQ0By
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkyFyb4uwD
"For someone who seems tired, you sound pretty confident," said Himchan.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PeI4AcYnw
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dtsmglj7G
"I just know." I smiled at him as I shrugged my shoulders.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2YlNdRbxT
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPwirDwPNr
"Do you've any idea what it could be?" Daniel asked.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4a7r8iqII
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqeUytryI0
I shook my head. It's best it turns out as a surprise.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMQqEkLOhZ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyL2WHh0jQ
"So, what are we going to do now?" Zelo asked. "Just sit and do nothing?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9SldLILSh
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ4YwOe4HZ
"We can do something fun to pass the time," Christine suggested.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWywwTQ3Di2
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bMRwCzxcy
"Not me," I went back to lying down on the floor.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfNtaROIGc
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpksxv9SeI9
No one said a word. I could feel a few eyes on me, while others, I'm guessing, gave each other looks.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTbg0uYz2l
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTN1tVoICj
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "You're such a party pooper."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eniRNBoj1
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmf3NOO3OY
"Haven't heard you call me that in a while," I said as I smiled at the ceiling.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxbYWfwGnp
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsPHPN8Fvl
"Get up, will you? This is no time to be lying down."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2MSP5CWXE
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1fOjSG83U
"There's nothing wrong with lying down to rest, is there?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQREpFpTcD
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6fdVcODUN
"Goodness, me." Zoey sounded frustrated. She couldn't argue over that and she knew it.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKedyQUU0Y
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qMIPfzIC6
"Maybe we should call Lee to pick us up," Mike suggested.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqEOi0vX4C
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6h1rWsrT5
"Don't bother," I said as I closed my eyes. "With us not under her radar anymore she's probably doing something for herself right now."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoBL5PdBaq
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSbNRlUsM4
I heard Zelo and Daehyun chuckle while I heard Christine and Zoey mutter out in frustration.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gWNPe3UDG
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P2UT6gdMV
"Looks like you're stuck here with us until Lee comes to pick you up," I heard Yong-guk say.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOuphohAUL
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr3KqJZwfo
"But we can't sit here doing nothing," said Daniel. "Like Christine said, we better find something to do."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7WvDhihfQ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08Bc29X7fx
"You should be resting," I suggested, my eyes still closed.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30rsB42ayJ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUC8gD5BfT
"Well, we don't want to," said Zoey. I imagined her folding her arms and looking at me like she would at Mike when he got her angry.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufiPITkR1A
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHEc2PGibh
I smiled. "Suit yourself."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwa3IyV6L1
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeFPW2H7Ek
"No one wants to do karaoke in the recording booth?" Jongup suggested.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bOlT14jSE
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjigA2wzkVQ
"I think we've done enough singing for one day," said Daehyun.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAnJVAoWHf
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUMmmySyeI
"I agree," said Zoey.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa8ZiP0ADe
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG3MqyMZIZ
"If there's clearly nothing to do, then I think we should be resting like Sam's doing right now," said Yong-guk.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLpBOe8M7t
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrBvf8C7WP
"I like your thinking," I said with my eyes closed. I raised my hand to give him a thumbs up.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPdCRqYVdm
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsWmJ7p2lX
"You songwriters all think the same," I heard Christine mutter.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PsBGFixm3
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b2wGcg5EA
"I might not agree with all this," Mike started to say, "but I'm going through with Sam's idea. I'm just going to lean back on the couch a little."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq1TMMYNui
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZP7bnrHJL
"Huh? Not you too, Mike," said Zoey, sounding surprised.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUhRVZaWIu
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAttglhw2K
"Quit it, Zoey." I heard him move on the couch, obviously putting himself in a more comfortable position. "There's nothing to do. Why not relax for a bit?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaEQf9Xao3
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6ROSytlzK
"I shouldn't be surprised coming from you."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2yScaP5CE
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu4EYPvOuy
"Ya, ya, ya, Zoey. I'm the bad guy here. Doesn't matter now, does it?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NUoTsuhFV
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG2iEZmbzK
"Well, if there's nothing for you guys to do at the moment, then I'm going to work on something," said Yong-guk.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P59c3FG6e
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfvbKbiwZ0
"And what could that be?" Young-jae asked.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jOIfAczDo
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHzliE2TaI
"Our song, of course."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztGUPVrdRS
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKtbx0cCZG
"You go ahead and do that," I said.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppVSyeIAws
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdI4GmsPWv
There came an awkward pause and I opened one eye to look at him.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mh1W89jxd
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJyfZTl42q
"You look surprised, Yong-guk," said Yong-nam. He took the words right out of my mouth.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3szkkK9CbV
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd4qcjyVoK
"I thought that would get Sam up from the floor since she seems to really like helping out," said Yong-guk.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQacuNWTruq
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mCE7GRvcK
"I'm drained," I said as I closed my one eye and placed my open palm under my head. "As exciting as it sounds, I'll pass."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FGS9lWDPu
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkhxYDneKU
"Okay, then," said Yong-guk. "And you, Mike?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKAWiWMiDF
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHls90AC11c
"I'll pass too," said Mike.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK5QUQ58W8
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV2HEQqVgc
"Okay. I'll be by the console. Any of you guys want to join me?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WdSXFXhZ3
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy5GHTyrca
"Well...," Zelo sounded hesitant and I heard a scratching sound across the table. I imagined he was scratching his head, wondering whether to go or not. "Me too," he finally said. "I don't feel like working on the song right now."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWXRq2Vw0t
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jNwoomsKe
"I'm going to relax over here too," said Young-jae.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZAwEWCtU1
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIplOZUfhmZ
"What's up with everyone?" Yong-guk asked, sounding surprised.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA4KiHAFS9
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIPbKjJKZA
"Like Yong-nam said, we're tired," I said as I sat up. "The best thing to do right now is relax."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh6GpfhqHL

"Aren't you worried about not making progress on your song?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlgONm9mKQ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmdK2PHKYa
"I was about to ask the same question," said Zoey with a sulky look on her face. 535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV3IGY1CsT
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbapCwON5ck
I shrugged. "At first I was, but right now, I need to relax a little before my brain explodes. Don't let me stop you from working on your song."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6szK0puzCk
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84GLyUwVWI
"Alright, then," said Yong-nam as he also slept on the floor. "Looks like I can also rest. Keeping your eyes on time can be tiring too."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ1IXWLixE
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkoriJNdqr
"You of all people shouldn't even be sleeping," said Yong-guk.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax9TRBGlxX
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE6Nj5kkbo
I laughed. As much as I wanted to hear these two brothers argue, it ended there. I went back to sleeping on the floor.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo37uzCEk9
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGRykJVhjU
"I'm going to join the relaxing spree too," said Jongup, as he pulled out his phone from his pocket and slept on the floor beside me.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OSjW0jbhQ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvPWJG5EgW
"Looks like the majority wins," said Himchan as he chuckled.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlBmCCcaFJ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hnt1Wnthu
Zoey mourned in frustration. Even I could tell she's tired. She had no choice but to give in.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3225i9d9J
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aWYHJKyaY
"Oh, man!" Daniel muttered out loud.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexqJu1n260
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuKmTsVDNK
I lifted my head from the floor to see what Daniel's doing. He had his phone out too and tapping at it. He's probably playing a game.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzkoBFejJD
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPUnsR3Ol6
"Sorry, guys," he said. He quickly looked up from his phone when he noticed people's eyes on him. "Playing a game over here."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0677XhA6o
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGjP9q4oVO
I shook my head at him as I put my head back on the floor. I looked beside me and saw Jongup on Instagram looking at cute cat videos. I turned the other side to see Yong-nam with his arm over his face, covering his eyes. He did seem just as tired as all of us. He did help come up with some lyrics, so no argument there.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKTnmhRKly
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67HA1POfb8
I heard Zoey sigh and that brought a smile across my face. "I give up," she said. "I haven't been on Twitter lately. Time to see what's going on in the world."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhvVcW61gF
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjavHgzYdKg
"I think I'll have a little shut-eye," said Christine.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlOSUrfmae
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuxuX2q9Ax
Everyone seemed to be busy doing their own things now. I counted Jongup, Daniel, Young-jae and Zoey on their phones. Daehyun, Himchan and Zelo were engaged in a conversation. Even when Mike was resting on the couch, he seemed to be contributing whenever he can. Christine, Yong-nam and I were really the ones resting as we closed our eyes.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7odFhiJED
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1zKkFzpWH
I heard someone stand up and guessed it was Yong-guk. I could hear footsteps head towards the other side of the room where the recording booth and console were. He seemed serious with what he wanted to do. I continued to lay there on the floor, hoping that I don't fall asleep.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgrAyXPZ84
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjN4cQGwb7
I found myself slowly imagining about the outdoor movie we were going to watch. Will it be an oldies movie? I would love to watch such. It just sets you in the mood when it has to.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ObbJmbKES
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0H8mEzAdu
I heard Jongup chuckle to himself and I knew he's still on his cat videos. A thought crossed my mind. Here I am thinking of the outdoor movie when I should be thinking about the song. I don't feel like dwelling on it. Now is the time to relax, nothing more.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBml22Svp5w
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDBEW4r9xf
"Hey, Sam?" I heard Jongup call me. "Are you asleep?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx6HFihRW9
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81zZNLCifR
"No," I answered. I drew my eyes open and looked at him. "What is it?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZfxVdviL2
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG5MuSiDxZ
"Watch this," he said as he scooted closer that our heads nearly touched. He held his phone up for the two of us to see. We watched a cute cat video where a little white and brown kitten was chasing a movable toy mouse on the floor. It was cute and yet funny at the same time as the kitten tried so many times to capture it. Jongup and I laughed.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtQ8fOuFCO
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniYqayRZbK
"Oh, my," I said as I wiped away the tears in my eyes. "The little kitten really struggled. But you've to admit, it's so cute."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLDQgyvojc
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBGKQbMffd
"I know," said Jongup. "You should see this previous one. It will knock your socks off."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz4ObFgCwZ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8L4mBDoNq
I joined Jongup in watching more cat videos. We soon moved on to watch people participate in various dance challenges.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz6xKoseBR
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvwVYlMk6R
"We should've a dance challenge one day," I said to Jongup as we watched.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBInGrtsBXT
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEysHgWQjIk
"Huh?" he turned to look at me. "We should've a dance challenge?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpzU1ky15Y
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2cQY8USjS
"Ya. I mean The Toxins vs BAP."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjTE67gZTk
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJfokFZMLl
"Oh..., like the one you had with Monsta X?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJL6Myxuh5
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC0uaGlq8m
"Yes, like that one. You watched it?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhNwJ0fbiJ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlWUbovh55
"I think a lot of us did. People really liked it."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtYIyWJ3fz
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz4ai2HRIn
"Too bad we lost. But it was fun. We should've one one of these days. That's if we could even make the time for it."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY0dKeYjKk
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWK7GIxwAz
"Oh, you've an album to work on."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCpIn3hsnw
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aGc8GTwMm
I stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Just thinking about it drains me." I went back to looking at his phone.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY5PiDzJLu
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8WJ267eMo
"Did I hear someone talk about having a dance challenge with BAP?" Zoey asked.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGUTofWIsS
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7ndSONRNw
I raised my head a little and saw Zoey still on her phone.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOztrKD3z2h
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNdWs7ijbM
"Yes, I said that," I said as I dropped my head and stared at Jongup's phone.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC9VWvfBvC
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8pQMu9Atj
"Why not do so now?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdZI2tOh0V
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOwzrqBAfI
"No!" Christine, Mike and I said out loud at the same time.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqzC9aOUi5
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V7AOnuwlz
"Eish, guys. It's why I asked. You don't have to eat me alive."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFEMU501Vx
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDsB7lSt4M
Himchan and the other BAP members around the table started to chuckle.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UuudubjSf
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL36UWidiR
"You Toxins really are something," said Himchan. "You do know that the majority of you opposed, right?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2rWBH6Hpn
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn6WkVavZU
"Except Daniel," said Zelo.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGZCXGCL1T
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zpwJyI13I
"Oh, I refuse too," said Daniel, still on his phone.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPZsE4MVGr
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OzWGvriv6
Zoey tsked. "You guys are no fun."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SxZy3U3Ho
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiTMJJMycX
"Use logic, Zoey," said Christine. "We're all tired and don't have the energy for a dance challenge."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pefgtb1AT
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNp4coB1Qf
"I know that. I thought maybe someone's in the mood for it."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fGPdiA0aT
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjrEPJYieA
"No one is in the mood for it," said Mike.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumQI8zxsKt
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkPrPMqBk4
"And what if the BAP members were?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUY9LYxmIw
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRZUQ0arUn
I heard Daehyun nervously chuckle. "To be honest, Zoey," he said, "I'm definitely not in the mood."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9dpY1nyDt
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcjajoqIPm
"Me too," said Young-jae.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVo0erzYIP
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eNEkU8J6F
"Me three," said Zelo.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z4WGLg3Am
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse6XZH7XND
"Guess I don't have to ask you, Himchan," said Zoey, sounding unimpressed.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFnOOD77AX
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOCrjSuUq7
Himchan, just like Daehyun, nervously chuckled too.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gPaqLH4qX
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPyzGYbcRo
"You can ask Yong-guk," Zelo suggested.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rt3riD6Dw
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26T8NPFxDR
"Nah. He's already busy and I don't like to be a bother."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjFB2HbxKJ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPj5YatVYT
"Really?" Mike asked. Uh-oh. I smell an argument brewing. "You bother a lot of us everyday."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkUcqEgnHk
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVa9Odr5pf
"What did you say!?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaI2Ftr8XM
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzfK53tf7l
"Quiet down, Zoey," said Christine. "You're disturbing Yong-nam. He's probably asleep."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojYHBfOXJM
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu59ZbZ70d
I turned to look at Yong-nam beside me and saw him move his arm above his eyes. He had one eye open. He turned his eye to look at me. I almost yelped. I felt embarrassed that he had caught me looking at him. The corner of his lips raised to a smile. He closed his eye and moved his arm back to cover his eyes. That was it.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmC4sCXCFr
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyQTcMaU8G
"I bet he isn't," said Zoey. "Is he, Sam?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTzeKuE5Ek
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveF9BzLuCj
"Huh?" I got a little caught off guard as I didn't answer Zoey's question.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiVHHr0Ufd
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwWDVUbk7P
"Is he awake?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXC1ivrtvx
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL0QvNgLIt
"Not sure," I answered. "He would've said something if he was."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqDtmkk06a
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEeSpT0Eqb
I looked at him and noticed a wide smile on his face. Okay...., didn't know what to make of it, so I quickly turned my attention back to Jongup's phone.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FX3M1cwR7
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIcVAkxEYM
"Anyway, where was I?" Zoey asked as she paused to think a bit. I noticed that no one's willing to remind her. It's best not to.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxHC7I7STv
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LzWm0shPw
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "It's what you said, Mike. How am I a bother to you?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOwcTA7gAt
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Bejbhsbg
"You're being a bother right now. I'm trying to rest and you're disturbing me."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h6JBg7hU3
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ434lLu1HRN
Zoey hissed that I thought a snake had magically appeared in the room. If she was one, no doubt she would attack Mike first.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3k1Ym8qCW
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtM7KLejtU
"Enough," said Christine. "No one wants to see or hear you two fight."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE0Is33auG
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxRTNPceut
"Mike started it," said Zoey.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI7EpwVIta
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmwG4t9ksF
"You amplified it," said Mike. "You always do."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvca76eKwxx
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILvPA1ENrT
"For once I agree with Mike," I said. "Let it go, Zoey."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVy4D7QNAt
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyoZUKwWEV
"You guys are unbelievable," said Zoey.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUudT2n1hyC
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SCLzSQRw3
"You're unbelievable," said Himchan as he chuckled. "You really are a drama queen. No offense."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SeoIdWjDY
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPAJpEPu2P
"None taken. These guys call me that all the time."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfCOkxRpTB
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OSDICYPlg
After a while, all of us settled back to what we were doing. I was still watching videos with Jongup when I suddenly sat up from the floor. If I continued lying there, I would probably have a backache.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoQmoQaXoH
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s6deQXXh4
I stretched out my arms and stood up, stretching my whole body.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAAMDIfs8T
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZZ9Z0hE16
"I've had enough of watching Instagram videos," I told Jongup.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGAb32V8o5
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8whdfIKb9C
He gave me a smile and went back to looking at his phone. I turned to look at everyone and almost all of them were either quietly resting or on their phones.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4lNZBsn1j
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xN9zuR8Up
I looked over at Yong-guk who was still seated at the console. I decided to go over and see how he's progressing with the song.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc4WMZEFqh
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3Uff4t0X5
"Hey, there," I said to him when I got behind him. I bent over to look at him from the side of his face.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7E9VOeGw6
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApqX8NthtQ
"Oh, Sam," he looked up at me, surprised. "I didn't hear you coming."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1VsNqeJbZ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxtwsWVG4O
"I've cat feet," I said as I took the empty seat next to him.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCTy2kmFe3
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnfzNjceNN
"Cat feet?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86pKA9n6c0
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcubyAhuNT
"I'm told there are times when people don't hear me coming so they say I've cat feet. I sometimes scare them."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat3i1rpYLZ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb4aDd1Lw7
"Oh, I see."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhIylkvQWm
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZspkWSNim
"It's true, Yong-guk," Zoey said behind us. "So don't upset her or else she might come to your room and murder you."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91wGgRBvYA
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsUGTepoO0
"I'll keep that in mind," said Yong-guk as he turned to smile at her.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdhi9fMPpL
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAR9labnAG
"Don't listen to her," I said as I turned to look at the console in front of me. "So, what are you really working on? I thought we were done and dusted with your song."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTPNjkxpR7
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDipMdwkx1
"I'm not working on our song," said Yong-guk as he went to work on the laptop.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcN3IsyxDK
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE0Fc6FtaW
"Then, what are you working on?" I raised my eyebrow at him.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBerZ9tmuxQ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihFVNs42Sl
"On your song," he answered.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4evBMbkNIw
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfonbJQmJTO
"Huh?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKf8nEFaEi
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FWKyPbKS6
"The tune you played earlier gave me a little inspiration to somehow come up with an instrumental. It's still not finished since I just started."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHowqnotWgF
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtIytUfObL
"Wow." I'm surprised. I didn't think Yong-guk would go this far. I didn't even know what to say.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZz0Fy5EWi
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHjN1WfeI6
"Hey, are you okay, Sam?" Yong-guk asked.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWRAOE7EDg
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdkFuT6HWX
I quickly turned to look at him. "Huh?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMo9yEjAlp
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAwHPPDkQU
"You spaced out for a bit. Is it a bad idea that I'm working on the instrumental? I know there will probably be someone working on it, but I thought I could do something, you know?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEOXmIcFes
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zillloWk8
I smiled at him. He really means it. There aren't many people in the world who are so thoughtful.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymfyKoOsBy
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PT923buWI
"I know what you mean. And no. I think there's no better person to work on it than you, Yong-guk."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8iduvdmxF
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycKIDoSZ10
"Really?" He looked a little surprised with what I said.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3IXGrRYFd
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcLOd442lD
"Of course! Who would've thought we would've you helping us? It's actually really nice of you."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrN8VDgBLe
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw0H6eShTn
I noticed his cheeks start to redden a little and he quickly turned away. I continued to smile. I had this overwhelming feeling like I could hug him, but now isn't the time.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUr4gu3ysK
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4W2efaZPG
"May I hear what you've done so far?" I asked.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxcXs8R4Fd
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgp6PhTNL8
"Ah..., sure," he said as he brought over the laptop closer.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqm2Etmgt0
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa4AYkeHIZ
He showed me what he had done and even when the instrumental was short, it sounded great. He really did follow the tune and melody like I had done with the guitar. He also added a few beats into the mix making the song sound more like pop.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ707nl6DVry
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UJuYtiZ6S
"Amazing," I looked at him with so much awe. "It's no wonder you're such a great producer."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdxIBpDD1r
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE1D5bJtn7
He chuckled. "Coming from you, that means a lot."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDZsTwPYg2
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ2u95UMQc
"The others should hear this." My ear twitched. "I know you're there, Mike."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNC0qcBlm6
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03R2MDW3JE
"Dang it!" I heard him mutter. Yong-guk and I turned around to see him behind us. "How come my cat feet can't work on you?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI918kgQQL
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmiGG18Fsn
"Because what you've ain't cat feet," I smirked at him. "You've to work a lot harder than that."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q6ZAUQsFK
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy1W5VC9lR
"Anyway....," he came closer and placed his hands on my shoulder and Yong-guk's, "what is it that some of us have to listen to?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52slUbiJLP
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hDpTTyP7S
"This," I said as I pressed the play button on the laptop, playing out the instrumental for him.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8Sx7zZ2GZ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWnuiyCzsn
"Wow," muttered Mike. "But wait..., why does this beat sound familiar?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHxOeewlQt
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsAoE4zLLo
"It's because it's the beat to our song, silly," I said to him.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY33e7Xvx8
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3V84rqCtP
"Wow! Really!" I saw Mike look at Yong-guk just like I did earlier, with so much awe. "This is what you were working on?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz2JpSCL4t
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvO2lfAnMO
Yong-guk nodded his head. Mike almost screamed like a girl, but he tried not to be so loud. I couldn't help but chuckle. He looked like his five year old self when he got a remote control car for his birthday.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6CjIuMu2Y
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtJfKSt3Gx
"You're amazing," he said as he patted Yong-guk on the shoulder. "This song will be awesome."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxRtdHXW5w
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdmZfaOLVk
"Thanks," he said. "You should be thanking your sister, though."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6rR4809H7
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhNduWL3bb
"Huh?" Mike and I looked pluzzled.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga6KCJdOsj
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uzeEwoYq5
"Remember what I said," he said as he looked at me. "The way you played with the guitar inspired me to come up with this."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP5KPiEoZ9
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8kM21P5IZ
"Oh...," I forgot he said that. Now it's my turn to blush, and Yong-guk smiled.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdHLb6deTW
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP92VIEk37n
"Ya, my sister is a genius," said Mike. "May I join you?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vc6mPJDFO

"Sure," said Yong-guk. "With you two here, I bet we can work on it together."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXyJkuMbht
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFzccOvBOX
"And probably come up with lyrics for the song," I said when it dawned on me. "That's why you wanted me to come and join you here by the console."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy8uPvOad4
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9ZCypNCbl
"I see you've got what I intended to do." Yong-guk turned to look at me with a smile. Mike sat on his other side. "I thought working on the instrumental will give you some idea on lyrics for the song."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUbqvRbeVo
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwfoe2BuGO
"We'll see," said Mike as he rubbed his hands together and looking at the console before him like a hot, tasty meal he couldn't wait to put in his mouth.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVetLRTWg5z
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yN50UEoSv
"Alright, let's start," said Yong-guk.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi2G79HwWk
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuBBhmfH3O
The three of us worked on the beats maker software on the laptop. With Mike's creativity and Yong-guk's producer skills, working on the instrumental was smooth and simple. We had no idea how long we had been working on it, but we had fun and joked around whenever we could.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp279w7lLpn
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kyulSinUT
"Hey, what's going on here?" Himchan asked as he came to join us.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8TtYg4rrm
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvppQvsPiz
"We're working on an instrumental," Mike answered.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqJ6d7kdZq
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs66MI4WFkD
"Which one?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV6vh01wOL
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tvOx8FN08
"For our song," I answered. "You should hear it, it's really good."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGHftJHkx3
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczzluVhE52
"Oh, I thought you had run out of ideas for the lyrics."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4DBRWe3f7
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBBOzWdB1O
"Well, I did. Maybe if I continue working on the instrumental, I might come up with them."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuClGac3lB
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNJKA5CoM9
"How far have you gone doing so?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv0dfhcGPL
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgUT5B7pzU
"Not too far," Yong-guk answered. "We've only tried to work on the first part and heading to the chorus. But even that needs a lot of work."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OJHeX4Lsv
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkXbI7O1jF
"I agree," said Mike.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63Pz08uQRq
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzudHjC0Gl
"And you're going to use this instrumental for your album?" Himchan asked.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDkmCi41UA
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLdM1BwYn1
"Of course we're," I answered, looking back at him. I now understood why he asked and I winced.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjmBaSxSIO
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptHVRsU63z
"What is it, Sam?" Mike asked.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqagNT8LbX1
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAcEVbspe9
"We need to seek permission to use this instrumental." I scratched the back of my head. "Goodness, why didn't I think about this before?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs3VWxgzy7
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdarU0Hzbwk
"Oh, ya," Mike turned to look at me quickly. "Why can't you give Collins a call and tell him that we've someone helping us?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUPcuI002K
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnJKjcbLfK
"Collins may agree. But what about Yang Hyun-suk?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs5vDSGSHY
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YCKtJzclx
Mike and I stared at each other. We both winced like we had done something wrong and we would be in big trouble for it.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlnisRCyBf
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBrlT3sw7P
"Gosh, the man is troubling," said Mike as he leaned back in his seat. "He can hunt you in your dreams if you think about him too much."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8lM59webi
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe9CEe1Hu3
"He's really strict," I said. "And he's also hard to impress. If we do play out the instrumental for him, would he really like it?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku6NCp8ibr
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k2lREOjVu
"This is your tune and melody, Sam. So, he can't refuse. I mean, the song we did with BigBang was all you too."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uLfImIYLN
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvVR11t0Dt
"It was?" Yong-guk and Himchan asked at the same time.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFLEHCwhbS
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhDRzZFSzz
"Never mind that," I told them as I went back to looking at Mike. "I'm worried because Yong-guk is helping us produce this one. Will Yang Hyun-suk agree?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6LyrEbKe8
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrBXyaZx3R
"As long as he knows you thought of it in the first place, he'll definitely agree." Mike leaned forward so as to look at me.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRRrCSEXoZ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLMpvylRQP
"Does this thing involving me always have to be highlighted?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmOnKkv6Lg
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw9d3uwr5C
"Daa, yes! Out of all of us, Yang Hyun-suk approves of you the most. He'll definitely go through with it."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkfEUdFX1n
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL0yUhZBLJ
I gave Mike a look. I don't consider myself as Yang Hyun-suk's favourite among The Toxins. I'm just afraid he won't approve.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgGmaDCyoF
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOR4omLrg0
"Okay, if that's the case, than what of Yong-guk? Will he really help us through till the end?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPaqszPL7f
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3KFmuFu4H
"I don't think we've to worry about that. Besides, even if he didn't offer to help, he seemed to do it out of his own free will, you know."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvwcZMyIfg
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8isYUmr44
"I'm right here, you guys," said Yong-guk in between Mike and me. "I can clearly hear you."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaFcGknYm7
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5Rv5uV5wt
Mike and I turned to look at him, then ignored him like he wasn't there. Himchan chuckled.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdThjjwwX1
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3suW4NBqM9
"You're right," I said. "He'll stay till the end. He's such a good friend for helping us out."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o2YCndB9w
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA8QcL5U4F
"I know right," Mike smiled. "He's awesome."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZlTs0z9OT
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZRgPcgX3B
"I think you better focus on giving Collins a call, Sam," said Yong-guk, trying to sound serious, yet falling to do so.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOEP6kM7qi
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLO0AA7uwt
"Aww," Himchan complained. "Their conversation was just about to get more interesting."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqCCwCPDwi
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrwL2pTsqd
I laughed. "He's just trying to hide the fact that he's blushing."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQr4XOu5iM
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGubE3eQij
"No, I'm not," said Yong-guk as he folded his arms and looked straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS7kp9cklJ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJz6ZTLfvT
Mike burst out laughing that he leaned back further in his seat. "Stop trying to put up a serious face, Yong-guk," he said. "You look awfully funny."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nfvywIbK5
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qXXmmVCT2
I couldn't help but agree with Mike as I also started laughing. I had to keep in mind that I had a phone call to make. I soon stood up from my seat.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEaZ9DM1no
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89k8bu09y4
"I'll be back," I said as I tried to stop laughing. "You better not have that face when I get back, Yong-guk."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw6gZ1XpeJ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xChs2J01E
I walked away from the others as I made my way to the door. I needed to be somewhere more private if I am to talk with Collins.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXkvweq0Av
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLL3K3vL6D
I stepped out into the hall and looked both ways. There's nobody walking around. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and searched for Collins' number. I pressed the call button and placed the phone to my ear.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4NTHY0vRd
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKr0VaFuHG
His phone rang, and it kept on ringing. I grew worried that he might not answer. Maybe he's busy. He did say he would be occupied today. I better call him at a later time.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2tmV0bb1h
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7KHRIwrOg
Just when I'm about to cut the call, he picked up at the last minute.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42aIRtbt6f
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCgaCF23Rp
"Hi, Sam," came his voice. "How's song writing going?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUrTMrpEno
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBQaoaGIxi
"Not good, I'm afraid," I said as I scratched the back of my head wondering how to bring up the instrumental thing.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVviqNnVGrI
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGZghpQvVh
"You'll figure it out. You do have extra help, don't you?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt2OHxgi0D
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR5BV8Y8yS
"I see Lee told you about BAP."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTO4uXOa4P
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zIKlT0s3y
"Well, she had to. So what can I do for you?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR1rbAOnyF
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxK1h5YY3F
"Well, we were working on the song and we felt a little stuck. So we had help with coming up with the instrumental for the song."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYplV6oaYt
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUbdrglHmF
"You're already coming up with that?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLfHaS3QRY
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYq114uxmm
I scratched the back of my head even more as I started to pace up and down in front of the door. "Well, ya. You see, Yong-guk - the leader of BAP - kind of got inspired to make us the instrumental because of the way I played it with the guitar. So we were wondering if it's okay with you that we use it for the song."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmywJwwsy2k
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuburMuf12
There was silence on the other end. I wonder what Collins must be thinking. He's a little unpredictable sometimes and he might not agree with it.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL4bCKyPyE
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc2ZmhiBB9
"Well," he started to say, "we would've to listen to it to see if it's actually good. The big problem is whether he should be working on it in the first place."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuwMa6mKdl
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCgsn0TZQx
I knew it. I had to say something quick to convince him.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi3aUGqbQJ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdEvQWTYk3
"I know, but he's really good. And besides, Mike and I are helping out too. You can be rest assured that it will be great."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc2j5BxOiK
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOmv4gxE3m
"I believe you. But you know I'm not the only manager in this project of ours."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9jbj9ycLI
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoFZd06HnS
"If you could talk to Yang Hyun-suk for me, I bet he would agree. Yong-guk is a great producer and he's reputation proves that otherwise."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPkNFaNQjO
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohOe6utamu
"I don't have to talk to Yang Hyun-suk. He's right here with me. I put you on loud speaker."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd49k7zqous
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kksgkxwqi
I swallowed as I stopped pacing and my heart did one huge beat that I felt my chest hurt.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45ikdE7qR3
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kXhrXtML7
"Oh..., good afternoon, Yang Hyun-suk sarangnim," I said quickly, so as not to seem surprised.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypHlFCe3aa
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0K2FCFOqh
"Afternoon," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice. I could feel beads of sweet starting to form on my forehead. "I heard everything you had to say."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hnjnwu5ju
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOZ1vDGQ3d
"And what do you think?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGOFr9GRNP
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh2cv6ghR0
"Well..., as much as the idea sounds tempting, I would actually refuse."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqfLXZ0pWO
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yTyav6lQr
My heart sank. I told myself it was worth a try anyway.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfjR5rEo3d
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvqx9aX9L7
"But," he continued, "we're talking about Bang Yong-guk, and he's reputation, like you've said, precedes him. If he does want to help out and you think he's the right producer for the job, then I've no objection to it. You can proceed with making the instrumental."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAszKjij628
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoKSRhM1La
"Really!" I cried out in excitement. I can't believe he actually agreed.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk6Nxb6Rey
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuH6sRfQbR
"Let's not forget that we're the ones that have the final say. If it's good, then we will proceed."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaRTsQCPIQ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziBIH2BHNA
"Thank you!" I said with so much excitement. I could hear the two managers chuckle to themselves. "I promise you won't be disappointed."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40vsOTGvDo
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg5u3DWsYz
"Make us proud, Sam," said Collins. "I hope you'll be able to come up with lyrics."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEYDupwARs
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxYjvzjqUl
"I will. Thank you once again."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs5mtQbl3B
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC24WhjaGoE
The two managers wished me luck. As soon as the line cut, I punched the air with excitement. We're really doing this. I can't wait to tell the others.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoggLBiXm5
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yx7dzrTxs
I turned around and opened the door to the studio. As soon as I went in, I quickly rushed over to the others on the console.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXKHU3lCVy
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx3ZWqIBb8
"What's the news?" Mike asked as he looked at me.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxQ3t2X5A5
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ4TFE8FcL
"I hope it's good," said Himchan.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH3dPlcgdc
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP0ed0QGam
"What news?" asked Daniel who was still seated on the couch. His eyes left the phone as he looked at us who were by the console.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdwxAKRRNL
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWosGTaw1V3
"They agreed," I answered.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaip2IX8lFn
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDUtGCqQCQ
Himchan and Mike clapped, looking relieved. Yong-guk leaned back in his seat, looking cool and composed, but I could tell that he was just as happy as the three of us.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSqTCoyIy9
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstLcJNM9g1
"Who agreed to what?" Daniel asked as he stood up from his couch to come over and join us. "I want to know what's going on."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACgDNpmKMZ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l8mSz5G33
"Ya, I'm also anxious to know what you're all talking about," said Daehyun.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kzkwj2SiU
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qw7MRdiZh
"Me too," said Zoey. "What did I miss?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9IVgKLF6l
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMfr0adB9u
"A lot," I answered.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nV3URJ89x
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5UMlawPs4
I told them what was going on and how I somehow managed to talk to the managers to go through with Yong-guk's instrumental.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWJHaFyzwc
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVeUGZ75GP
"Wow, that's awesome," said Zelo.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgEyGv3xWe
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMFNyDOIjS
"You see how the managers just love you, Sam?" Mike asked.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF47jeMuMIt
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ201Y13FPXk
"No, they don't," I emphasised. "If they don't like the instrumental, we aren't going to use it. So it has to be perfect."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp637ShXRCw
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDN6vSwKv6
"But for them to agree its because they know Yong-guk is an awesome producer," said Himchan. "No doubt it will be lit."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF7y0oxlpH
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR64hjdg3a
"I agree with Himchan," said Zoey. "And besides, it's more of Sam's original, so they can't say no."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysJ06atmDN
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2t6n0IxHm
"Okay, we just need to focus on the instrumental and hopefully come up with the lyrics," I said.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFOix4BsGY
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfGYoJ0D78
"Well, you better work on those fast," said Yong-nam, who was now wide awake, but still laying on the floor. "You don't have much time."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErwfgGbcOc
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE0flEvSTh
"Okay," I said as I rubbed my hands together. "Toxins, get over here by the console, please."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAheVkgGcK
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUEbp6iOWc
"Okay," said Christine and Zoey as they both stood up from the couch and quickly came over.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarF4y3xCzx
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVRTzMjjEL
"We will be here to help in anyway we can," said Young-jae.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNGNyIDRkJ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAovIZ6UH2p
"Thanks, guys," I said with a smile. I went over to sit back on my chair next to Yong-guk.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdoZ0bvpK2
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPWowcG3Sz
"Okay," said Yong-guk. "Let's continue where we ended, shall we?"
