"Okay, so here are the lyrics for the song," I said after writing them down.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJBiRDHV4w
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44E6AFdmxL
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIT91BYjGQ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2a05aAs9Q
"Just admit it," said Zoey, "the song is awesome."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7vPH04i1B
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnzmLj0vG7
"Zoey." Christine gave her a look that told her to keep quiet. "Let the others take it in first."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNwJOiYrA0
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFEvkjGT6A
"Zoey's right," said Daehyun. "The lyrics are great."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs7hOyFfap
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh96ALVY78
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nyqDlumxP
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hdr4WlTrd
"You should listen to the tune," said Mike. "You'll love it."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4RPIxoymU
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqwhEKWdsM
"I bet that's why you went searching for the guitar," said Jongup as he looked at me.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigPDcQO81V
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMHtUa3ctJ
"Play the guitar, Sam," Himchan insisted. "We're all dying to hear it. I bet Yong-guk can't wait any longer."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeTy2d49WR
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxpCGAdTXp
"Huh?" Yong-guk looked at Himchan beside him, looking confused. "No, I'm not."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiJzZKjqar
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3muMywgFIO
"Of course you are," said Yong-nam as he gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "Don't forget, I'm your twin."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG1FJ7oMzN
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy99yHfLkSK
"Okay," I said as I took the guitar that had been laying on the table the whole time. "Let me play it, then."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpvGhYtAa6
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHJliuFmgo
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFv0gYWE78
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKFepummtM
"Wow," said Young-jae, looking at me like he's just seen something's dazzled him. "The song's going to sound awesome."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNVRvfTZ3V
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihZzKdY3Ij
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkwUibt4jU
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2s73PjMmw
"Alright," said Yong-guk, looking to see what I was writing on the paper. "Whatever it is, I bet we can handle it."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmtvYEsbKU
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV2SNN4aCd
"Can't wait to see you try," said Christine. "But then again, if it's you two l'm not worried."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIJDdIWNR7
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DeydRK7wK
"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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1S0HoWTzC
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KYlyYbUlP
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZjuFyl9mA
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAZpUzIc4O
"Come on, Jongup," Zelo complained. "You're distracting Sam. We all want to hear what she has written."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi5ozWaBfk
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGGoc0zeeC
"I don't think that I'm distracting her," said Jongup as he looked at Zelo. "Right, Sam?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6xiKhOGDH
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRDsl8t1Io
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiNk940UXI
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqvwMq4bdP
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuZO9p8a3b
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N4gdLzYGT
"What's wrong, Sam?" he asked.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAb01Meiky
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTX8Nq3UGb
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ0EAGDO0H
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHk3jLgHVd
"Goodness, Jongup," said Mike, "you almost kissed my sister."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk2dvTbSvv
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh8q5rFhzG
And it just had to be Mike. Goodness, me!567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qx40XtXeL
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77DPPnsOkM
"Huh?" Jongup looked surprised. "I did?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtvzO4iz7F
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOGLPVG7WU
"And you were this close," said Zoey indicating a tiny space with her index finger and thumb.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IQh6e4qqm
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ID0Fr8IZk
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7snpsFfvW
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYP02DQ4tv
"You see, I told you so," said Zelo.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuRMNxZwiJ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5yVsdckAB
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4KMqUnLg8
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKVHZt09ny
Yong-nam cleared his throat. "Not at all," he answered. "You're actually pretty light."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7uPfL0M7q
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqQjzcNK67
I nervously laughed, not sure whether he meant it or not.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfArtAHBVlD
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSEao2S3pa
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBwDqRraq3
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr99JWJASV
"You're such a fantasist, Zoey," said Daniel as he shook his head.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfovBlN70SZ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uPNGSf3xT
"Don't mind her," I said. "Can we forget the kissing incident and focus on the song, please?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBdfcoEIxz
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVkLwxYHmo
"Sure," said Mike. "That's if we can reset Zoey's brain or else she won't stop talking about it."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr31Qa6jUE
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBEy5ZEeeP
"Are you saying that I'm kookoo?" Zoey asked, looking at Mike.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB4DUDWttf
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ5Oilhw02
"You can argue later, you two," I said, giving them a look. "Let's try and focus."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEat5Sv5B0s
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nlZcgLSm2
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQvy8zIIlu
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TUPQWIBoE
"Is it just me or something's just off?" Young-jae asked.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qfKeb2enI
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuRD237yek
"I think I feel what you mean," said Zoey as she scratched her head.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyi7HSJhMc
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5hN1ZPlrE
"Huh? What's Zoey saying?" Himchan asked.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfwAC4kPbz
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl0ncC3ei3
"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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4NJ16Xmn6
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv0rPr1aLJ
"I feel we aren't working like we did the first time," said Christine.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5BkHvC4IG
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2OXjWXGTM
"Ya, that's what I meant," said Zoey.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKzWsVAqwB
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgDajV8uWn
"We just aren't coming up with the right lyrics," said Yong-guk, "that's all."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0xtuTueCT
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9OXWx8HBl
"Why is that?" Himchan asked.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5kuV5Y4DF
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6VlHQJZb3
"Who knows," said Daniel. "What do you think, Sam?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2HxiVhyOG
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLd78uhaam
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtjsV3dfBm
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpn9tgews6
"You look like you're about to cry, Sam," said Jongup.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3zRn1x4jW
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oHCuE8IpV
"Don't mind me," I said. "I'm frustrated that we're going nowhere."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfHhiNFOoM
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96izgIPTN3
"Maybe we're all just tired," said Zelo.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8ru1lwXRH
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IpaVAP4tw
"I felt we rested enough," said Daehyun.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUHuCZLvhE
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xL9mzpWHm
"Or maybe we've been in the same place for too long," I suggested. "Sometimes the environment contributes greatly."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ7vxKeGdJ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvcoJqUe01
"Maybe," said Yong-guk.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAQXMmYlrp
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhLIkaXqyv
"What do you think, Yong-nam?" Christine asked as she turned to look at him.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSGzi4FNa7
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpS0J29nBv
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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t7cIdQ1WD
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzodmIWOow
"Tomorrow?" Daniel looked shocked at the idea. "Won't that be a little too late for us?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrAbf7JXkX
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICyq3TZzjc
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ1RfHDgq5
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnYrk13HLB
"Not forgetting that we should at least have something to present to Yang Hyun-suk," said Zoey.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjSd7Jdz98
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZPBu4dKwe
"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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c3gdzAFf0
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ53dzWzzPg
"Now I wish we never had to make an album," said Zoey as she leaned back on the chair and sighed.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JGFJISFrO
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB9aBD8T6m
"Wow, you guys are working on an album?" Jongup asked.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnsY3iBQmc
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCOuU4y0sE
"Yep," I answered as I lifted my face up from my hands. "Our managers are ambitious."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBBQlkkaLP
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw5YU5DvjY
"At least we don't have to worry about the other songs," said Zoey.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw3xMI6s2w
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg24twsrqL
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsfgPazzHW
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKERcAo54h
"I think we should take a little break," said Yong-nam.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYxxKHHj4a
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsO06Pgslr
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?567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9VFUHceJG
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cyD42SlHw
"You're scaring me, Sam," I heard Yong-guk say.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnJM70gDgX
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWggLAhrnnA
"Oh, don't mind her," said Zoey. "She started this and finding a way to finish it is frustrating."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtGSz0PgCh
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCU9Om4P7x
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFuy2UX44Q
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5AId4qnT0
"Wait..., does this mean we won't have the reward Lee was talking about?" I heard Daniel ask.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhOzkhkKVZ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvbZf5Uml1
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtVA71DtpX
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS52qv6ZR2
"Don't worry about that, Daniel," I said. "Lee will give us that reward."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG0MbOjudB
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq26nJzvaGu
"For someone who seems tired, you sound pretty confident," said Himchan.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjmFc4HSgu
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt71VIit1aS
"I just know." I smiled at him as I shrugged my shoulders.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqMkIT475S
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSQ58btcdr
"Do you've any idea what it could be?" Daniel asked.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUIFRI41uS
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg469A9s8Ql
I shook my head. It's best it turns out as a surprise.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jJnJ90mBt
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJL7DNIZUk
"So, what are we going to do now?" Zelo asked. "Just sit and do nothing?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0E7seuHsI
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCzDMfYOkG
"We can do something fun to pass the time," Christine suggested.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsKwFCMTFE
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jndm0DF3n
"Not me," I went back to lying down on the floor.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpp0s9z2ph
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fFpSegvY9
No one said a word. I could feel a few eyes on me, while others, I'm guessing, gave each other looks.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZuTgGcGoG
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU41fZlEGF
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "You're such a party pooper."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZx0drI9ji
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvF9QHf1QD
"Haven't heard you call me that in a while," I said as I smiled at the ceiling.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqX3DFNgUG
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy9x4RJf6Y
"Get up, will you? This is no time to be lying down."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9iodJVbsg
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RAovcEvIF
"There's nothing wrong with lying down to rest, is there?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhwBoJIIuz
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpJPE1fmcI
"Goodness, me." Zoey sounded frustrated. She couldn't argue over that and she knew it.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sGmzmBZML
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZHFWusWCD
"Maybe we should call Lee to pick us up," Mike suggested.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYYS9T0qKW
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Clzn6bjgj
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg271joRPv
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiQPhZp1mB
I heard Zelo and Daehyun chuckle while I heard Christine and Zoey mutter out in frustration.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniTgBWCegH
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD6iIWjPgl
"Looks like you're stuck here with us until Lee comes to pick you up," I heard Yong-guk say.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YUqQpaJdT
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUK3FU1gyU
"But we can't sit here doing nothing," said Daniel. "Like Christine said, we better find something to do."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgXScKiGGG
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yABiTNm7U
"You should be resting," I suggested, my eyes still closed.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKSgONzRZh
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZPgaQR8xH
"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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyxka3EsSP
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5kItc6so8
I smiled. "Suit yourself."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLTVxe6rRe
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbB5HcmeEH
"No one wants to do karaoke in the recording booth?" Jongup suggested.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuuFirCEV2
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY8FDuirpd
"I think we've done enough singing for one day," said Daehyun.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99AnCi3yYf
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgIWK2Gw7b
"I agree," said Zoey.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42peofkjeq
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8yWFrjC9E
"If there's clearly nothing to do, then I think we should be resting like Sam's doing right now," said Yong-guk.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEROdJkELj3
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEATGygCnc
"I like your thinking," I said with my eyes closed. I raised my hand to give him a thumbs up.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf74eQdHx0Q
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooUB1tvx8S
"You songwriters all think the same," I heard Christine mutter.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9YuEigpkN
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAcvaDcudt
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBx5GjdCDp
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6dG3aWAmU
"Huh? Not you too, Mike," said Zoey, sounding surprised.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM48D1xI4p
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAEENObMtR
"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?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKtglqVgg6
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDBkf19V6z
"I shouldn't be surprised coming from you."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y0wFVSOFf
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK2bfcma0t
"Ya, ya, ya, Zoey. I'm the bad guy here. Doesn't matter now, does it?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE75WK5L9o1
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9VzgjbDCM
"Well, if there's nothing for you guys to do at the moment, then I'm going to work on something," said Yong-guk.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWBp3tjhv5
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHiisq5GjK
"And what could that be?" Young-jae asked.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7Pcnq0QKj
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZswqfUfWgr
"Our song, of course."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH8yBFKgvA
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT1kIQ2xyB
"You go ahead and do that," I said.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnnzX07BM7
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKRE57KLS4
There came an awkward pause and I opened one eye to look at him.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMAndLzAn5
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA5KjCOZir
"You look surprised, Yong-guk," said Yong-nam. He took the words right out of my mouth.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm0cygNzdj
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKAeTPhH90
"I thought that would get Sam up from the floor since she seems to really like helping out," said Yong-guk.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrWodIiGS3
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQahnX9fXx
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQuvKcFHzV
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLFjL6ISYx
"Okay, then," said Yong-guk. "And you, Mike?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcaipdtXIZ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3oBKUTI7X
"I'll pass too," said Mike.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr9HRcAN6x
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhaR9JZlIP
"Okay. I'll be by the console. Any of you guys want to join me?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpPR7Xi7MJ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTso1kNCcw
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDrEDki5Rj
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UT0EBeEhG
"I'm going to relax over here too," said Young-jae.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCMPdgz34o
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkl5QXN6mR
"What's up with everyone?" Yong-guk asked, sounding surprised.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSg223Yy9X
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuxyJW9XTK
"Like Yong-nam said, we're tired," I said as I sat up. "The best thing to do right now is relax."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXuGXld0vR
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij2G9LbpvK
"Aren't you worried about not making progress on your song?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpfGalBcQt
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF2pd585P5
"I was about to ask the same question," said Zoey with a sulky look on her face. 567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJsp7290SO
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat6XzQ9UDp
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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEhNw3LAdp
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rbyk1GEdd
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWALDS9YO0
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoeCQLzYYg
"You of all people shouldn't even be sleeping," said Yong-guk.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qn26OByjh
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8tS2YlJkD
I laughed. As much as I wanted to hear these two brothers argue, it ended there. I went back to sleeping on the floor.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrXnNkXmxC
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRzwHb9TtI
"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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrSsT83zBU
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKgyNAmR8S
"Looks like the majority wins," said Himchan as he chuckled.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABYR5mw5vW
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeQiXPz657
Zoey mourned in frustration. Even I could tell she's tired. She had no choice but to give in.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiVmspveAl
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrqxNagsg0
"Oh, man!" Daniel muttered out loud.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT0V88i79j
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbNtKdw4is
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ7VD2vYCy
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtDjXXlYIT
"Sorry, guys," he said. He quickly looked up from his phone when he noticed people's eyes on him. "Playing a game over here."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNyU2RyeNP
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WXxgbtGFy
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFzgrVpYRe
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0z9tLx0Se
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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNLDDiJzEm
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXeUQItRPW
"I think I'll have a little shut-eye," said Christine.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9GBpYlTCa
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBInHNeVpW4
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRinTblyJE
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxFCZ6ahA4
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAO7n1K4Ss
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yOghR3l7C
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceeQPZjesW
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeb7n86eO0
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOZq0NJXdY
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyInsZD4cv
"Hey, Sam?" I heard Jongup call me. "Are you asleep?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxNZXbw2Ns
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzxZlzv6Ii
"No," I answered. I drew my eyes open and looked at him. "What is it?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTklhzCQfVj
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgEDS0PCeW
"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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvfQX8534i
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgcBz7Gnbk
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NWKR3f0RV
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83YWfp6BNA
"I know," said Jongup. "You should see this previous one. It will knock your socks off."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14Gv6I38YU
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1pzf61l2P
I joined Jongup in watching more cat videos. We soon moved on to watch people participate in various dance challenges.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5LEsCvkJX
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OysI4Yypo
"We should've a dance challenge one day," I said to Jongup as we watched.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsFolnMzfb
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUizR7Okx1s
"Huh?" he turned to look at me. "We should've a dance challenge?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9T0UVpX8s
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXDQI3CNw5
"Ya. I mean The Toxins vs BAP."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwgMseNier
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgsLhvsKLz
"Oh..., like the one you had with Monsta X?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VsVoESIr9
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bDWszb6kg
"Yes, like that one. You watched it?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS19sL94PE
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLFqkhY1Bp
"I think a lot of us did. People really liked it."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfotMUwQre1
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaPEiJfzkb
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmArRtPXDMc
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnHTSpej5J
"Oh, you've an album to work on."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZQq5l7QVH
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSTGv2VQZ2
I stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Just thinking about it drains me." I went back to looking at his phone.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecU1TTGwcJ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBoayhdGlJ
"Did I hear someone talk about having a dance challenge with BAP?" Zoey asked.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QvQRdodld
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4Hta22nrG
I raised my head a little and saw Zoey still on her phone.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzJcq5i4Kg
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Mq8p5tdDL
"Yes, I said that," I said as I dropped my head and stared at Jongup's phone.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsbW8cBpTn
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AjxnDyXjQ
"Why not do so now?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RSFbLDmXA
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5GnvyG9Qi
"No!" Christine, Mike and I said out loud at the same time.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HOcdfssUs
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidhx814pUz
"Eish, guys. It's why I asked. You don't have to eat me alive."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRku5C4skJ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xpawZYN7S
Himchan and the other BAP members around the table started to chuckle.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIkbneesTX
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuAChfYTMf
"You Toxins really are something," said Himchan. "You do know that the majority of you opposed, right?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq07mE30L5
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KmRu7WxJC
"Except Daniel," said Zelo.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyZn00sFab
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbeA1cIniV
"Oh, I refuse too," said Daniel, still on his phone.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofanYZsiYV
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzftSmwsZE
Zoey tsked. "You guys are no fun."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fYT7tUxel
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl9MfDDFwk
"Use logic, Zoey," said Christine. "We're all tired and don't have the energy for a dance challenge."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8AOx6dDYN
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUay2ZOAY5
"I know that. I thought maybe someone's in the mood for it."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN09P6Inn38
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73szqsJ9dZ
"No one is in the mood for it," said Mike.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNseFN0IhIX
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBHFytxEO0
"And what if the BAP members were?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzn0A5Xm2A
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99WDaw1Jtp
I heard Daehyun nervously chuckle. "To be honest, Zoey," he said, "I'm definitely not in the mood."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4ihxE8kzG
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSzw5MgXhv
"Me too," said Young-jae.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uLupA9dVx
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwfs63MNQm
"Me three," said Zelo.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyiILSIJXO
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwye2H1jvib
"Guess I don't have to ask you, Himchan," said Zoey, sounding unimpressed.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM37fo2aXK
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskKtDPg4cE
Himchan, just like Daehyun, nervously chuckled too.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJP15dB0yw
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM262WI8QFd
"You can ask Yong-guk," Zelo suggested.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKYW9UgbJk
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBkTkbBzNa
"Nah. He's already busy and I don't like to be a bother."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyXkQnREmi
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sULFSENfo
"Really?" Mike asked. Uh-oh. I smell an argument brewing. "You bother a lot of us everyday."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AfIckRcJN
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdGb3W0sSa
"What did you say!?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQMp7QZKTL
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsNhdtQobq
"Quiet down, Zoey," said Christine. "You're disturbing Yong-nam. He's probably asleep."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzwOGQVrU6
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxgKdtbmwt
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFseucbZRs
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a7pIhiNFz
"I bet he isn't," said Zoey. "Is he, Sam?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmXpX22zVg
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEVLkjG5Jy
"Huh?" I got a little caught off guard as I didn't answer Zoey's question.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaue0kXa2vJ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f6pAMG1u7
"Is he awake?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdP83JgJIH
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD56z3KGrX
"Not sure," I answered. "He would've said something if he was."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ2Oa4S79c
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBKNx08byZ
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIkBaVb7Ca
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMirdnUYhXY
"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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf0W87u1Vn
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNUTXJzt6J
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "It's what you said, Mike. How am I a bother to you?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgp2XcgkSk
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rqtdp3fhE
"You're being a bother right now. I'm trying to rest and you're disturbing me."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tMSHLKBfp
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGgPKWQ9z4
Zoey hissed that I thought a snake had magically appeared in the room. If she was one, no doubt she would attack Mike first.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeX5VCMIRq
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbRK4iMTEY
"Enough," said Christine. "No one wants to see or hear you two fight."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfobTXxUrdo
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvfzTX0EVv
"Mike started it," said Zoey.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf9LUrfYXB
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G2WksLgNT
"You amplified it," said Mike. "You always do."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSs3ffgx62
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtDQXJ1Cy4
"For once I agree with Mike," I said. "Let it go, Zoey."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEbdb5WMNi
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS1sVlqFZV
"You guys are unbelievable," said Zoey.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSUkGhKVVz
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TIgvoArwG
"You're unbelievable," said Himchan as he chuckled. "You really are a drama queen. No offense."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80VDEZCGH4
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKudS3jl14m
"None taken. These guys call me that all the time."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyVcWndsdq
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWLP5rfwsI
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQfU45Rp8s
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthftEUADie
I stretched out my arms and stood up, stretching my whole body.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkK9sKYBv1
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqIHw2g2jO
"I've had enough of watching Instagram videos," I told Jongup.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPCTGGvVZO
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4umxKJtGm2
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPM3SvHOhD
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLSWD5H7FI
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfYwasQLaR
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk4MPwCJkz
"Hey, there," I said to him when I got behind him. I bent over to look at him from the side of his face.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD05Y4uuo7
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOcaelb3Tl
"Oh, Sam," he looked up at me, surprised. "I didn't hear you coming."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiO0o2MdPn
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThHBUTXJzK
"I've cat feet," I said as I took the empty seat next to him.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xr5J4ymmx
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvMf6l2zvb
"Cat feet?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BXACTblpq
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS3WAYu2hP
"I'm told there are times when people don't hear me coming so they say I've cat feet. I sometimes scare them."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3idYDRUwJ7
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMMOoikw79
"Oh, I see."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhGFCX79Sc
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sAbjt1vbJ
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJWBzSbfR0
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUrQ8WBC5I
"I'll keep that in mind," said Yong-guk as he turned to smile at her.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl3OPUSwsP
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3UmfzECjU
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmCTQ0KUYq
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFBvLOxi2q
"I'm not working on our song," said Yong-guk as he went to work on the laptop.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs7k559hzQ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvbO7R78lM
"Then, what are you working on?" I raised my eyebrow at him.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDeEIMczT2
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNHxZBHwv1
"On your song," he answered.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecp1CQKYfj
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3yoGpfhKq
"Huh?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CQTx0bfYF
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EzOkHTD4w
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5URcGhUo0T
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnLDUL7tHT
"Wow." I'm surprised. I didn't think Yong-guk would go this far. I didn't even know what to say.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPuJuSD3Zf
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvQ3vTBShx
"Hey, are you okay, Sam?" Yong-guk asked.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLalGocHn8
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk61FOJE5xT
I quickly turned to look at him. "Huh?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG3DaJJQFh
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSZGVDZ7IU
"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?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvyPVC6EDi
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYifShLQgMJ
I smiled at him. He really means it. There aren't many people in the world who are so thoughtful.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngOH8yRQ8y
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkwnVu5rNM
"I know what you mean. And no. I think there's no better person to work on it than you, Yong-guk."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cMGJFVsc6
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCCDnVV8H1
"Really?" He looked a little surprised with what I said.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36sL35NPk8
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZevj8iyBp8
"Of course! Who would've thought we would've you helping us? It's actually really nice of you."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjeHCYfXkb
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9U7bl4drP
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGSqRS6Ep3
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GOtMriJvr
"May I hear what you've done so far?" I asked.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhpoSGwxes
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei299aT5o9
"Ah..., sure," he said as he brought over the laptop closer.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbsxZ0m5Rd
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NdLGJiyRi
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4bmZ7ZBqe
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8PH5JPDiU
"Amazing," I looked at him with so much awe. "It's no wonder you're such a great producer."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5vkvjimaN
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5OENmBovy
He chuckled. "Coming from you, that means a lot."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n2B4EinpN
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hRbRxlDxB
"The others should hear this." My ear twitched. "I know you're there, Mike."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHx4c7zsnI
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP7JmCVMhb
"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?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZzFLVuhBB
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87coobLTOV
"Because what you've ain't cat feet," I smirked at him. "You've to work a lot harder than that."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5lcBucnjM
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpbkcz7Pne
"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?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fWBF7yZN2
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfod4RJ4lJ7
"This," I said as I pressed the play button on the laptop, playing out the instrumental for him.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXivdzrfayY
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNex8aqBKm
"Wow," muttered Mike. "But wait..., why does this beat sound familiar?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3tFLIqXMz
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaVod0LSkz
"It's because it's the beat to our song, silly," I said to him.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5eX24Vabz
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBI1SQ6vl5
"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?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc74eYNIhZ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVDDa92rk5
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIZsx1uOtB
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOXTqATuyg
"You're amazing," he said as he patted Yong-guk on the shoulder. "This song will be awesome."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDlCueCwRe
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzlr7HM6hw
"Thanks," he said. "You should be thanking your sister, though."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbCuhsHB6k
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nm13qL5qS
"Huh?" Mike and I looked pluzzled.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv2LI6kWaw
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd3C6RL3QM
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyKEHeaCwM
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ660PmNnYBQ
"Oh...," I forgot he said that. Now it's my turn to blush, and Yong-guk smiled.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxeMVjyB0W
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfQjwkW1Te
"Ya, my sister is a genius," said Mike. "May I join you?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyDUM8kCAI
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2kKvdR9y1
"Sure," said Yong-guk. "With you two here, I bet we can work on it together."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKIyI43HSj
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee5Q5KQo1k
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9nZ6tV0h1
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEDpUzI2EP
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SjOJ8RtTj
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxDpHYkiMs
"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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipzTcXjo8Z
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws6sNpdODW
"Alright, let's start," said Yong-guk.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQyQetdSUa
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHR9WrCSNR
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHrzmt6ZKo
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X0UPFlCcK
"Hey, what's going on here?" Himchan asked as he came to join us.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s8LQFPY1z
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqqReVsQ1k
"We're working on an instrumental," Mike answered.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8vYvDVXXT
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVmOgANV3T
"Which one?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vziLk7P4M
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMlAtIR490
"For our song," I answered. "You should hear it, it's really good."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oAr17V6Wo
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7XoPSMomA
"Oh, I thought you had run out of ideas for the lyrics."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlbV2EG3ui
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnixrul4MxU
"Well, I did. Maybe if I continue working on the instrumental, I might come up with them."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2WWuYIVyD
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkfB00OOuP
"How far have you gone doing so?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3m2eem6Du
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D6zznsPxF
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFFFDFKKdd
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT2MdOo5Qe
"I agree," said Mike.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ2gu7hoqN
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKoXUsNv2e
"And you're going to use this instrumental for your album?" Himchan asked.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcs96hFbDJ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTvacvqpCf
"Of course we're," I answered, looking back at him. I now understood why he asked and I winced.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76YGEuqBT2
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iQD1fZZAL
"What is it, Sam?" Mike asked.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfaMrGR2oS
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflmcjJgoVk
"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?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDcjuOAYWS
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhY1TUUrEh
"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?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ll61523TB
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43kmDGZCB5
"Collins may agree. But what about Yang Hyun-suk?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QbaLaUS16
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i4ZIklQ6N
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIda3mFnxj
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5ayN35Jgx
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G7EuYbhN1
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUznvTkTAb
"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?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOj1mmjt3B
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgf0iBuhE3
"This is your tune and melody, Sam. So, he can't refuse. I mean, the song we did with BigBang was all you too."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRY0TtAV4L
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpNxtijqCV
"It was?" Yong-guk and Himchan asked at the same time.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XhIDSirvM
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXIKlrgqrF
"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?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgpjsSmGyw
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2VjRuZx2T
"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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTKndFnING
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV5rsRZBsv
"Does this thing involving me always have to be highlighted?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk1tNIdKN3
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHkrc1y4Hv
"Daa, yes! Out of all of us, Yang Hyun-suk approves of you the most. He'll definitely go through with it."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvjAyrFJ7V
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwejmLdSxZv
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q7InZ7lQF
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi9GwSGLsk
"Okay, if that's the case, than what of Yong-guk? Will he really help us through till the end?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHnWgOGAUt
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8AzUdbeyE
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsL1t7d63R
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn7cjSCL0d
"I'm right here, you guys," said Yong-guk in between Mike and me. "I can clearly hear you."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PfYC6QcQu
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qU3Jh4fWW
Mike and I turned to look at him, then ignored him like he wasn't there. Himchan chuckled.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBoGkOWEbf
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SqhDuqaRY
"You're right," I said. "He'll stay till the end. He's such a good friend for helping us out."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPISbjBF6Jt
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiuzOsLqkg
"I know right," Mike smiled. "He's awesome."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14G3beSRX2
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEwCFf1Z7D
"I think you better focus on giving Collins a call, Sam," said Yong-guk, trying to sound serious, yet falling to do so.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bM1I1WlY2
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmFzm72pWQ
"Aww," Himchan complained. "Their conversation was just about to get more interesting."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4AHuUjr8O
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KqoPOm1fe
I laughed. "He's just trying to hide the fact that he's blushing."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBScYA1lIm
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHttrR64qN
"No, I'm not," said Yong-guk as he folded his arms and looked straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO5jenHvLG
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQh7tKfx3o
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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWGWa1Klpd
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jq3dTmiAd
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyC7NgdkMX
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5doDHoaGV1
"I'll be back," I said as I tried to stop laughing. "You better not have that face when I get back, Yong-guk."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe7cgVjDCl
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SK5bjjdkn
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPnV4JnAIr
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77hIpSCESU
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhaz2TTkIg
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg9Vgi40hz
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ow3XF6wEb
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV5HXaB17U
Just when I'm about to cut the call, he picked up at the last minute.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69qIoDjIs3
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIoUhY4269
"Hi, Sam," came his voice. "How's song writing going?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKEcGNCUXA
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWblItpYRHY
"Not good, I'm afraid," I said as I scratched the back of my head wondering how to bring up the instrumental thing.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pX5pOH2mX
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FfzbvSzaa
"You'll figure it out. You do have extra help, don't you?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20XJ31qZhA
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkDnbuM9Tx
"I see Lee told you about BAP."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtE0pVtvww
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoPjNvmbqN
"Well, she had to. So what can I do for you?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ4wOeA42S
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9felfhIkAM
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemzdwBbNrr
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTcvBHhDCT
"You're already coming up with that?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD8g125h0i
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel5a9tHVmd
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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYGCInyHoV
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsDLB4tlgy
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42E5ZmtKSq
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIzyFFIVJ7
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSktbjEO6UW
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PiaWolTKa
I knew it. I had to say something quick to convince him.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSGpI2d7Nl
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMed56OIT2o
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCUvTfmXaU
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuamLCmZsVc
"I believe you. But you know I'm not the only manager in this project of ours."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM33PLDe4ke
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjbDmQsTzY
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd5w1C9z13
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOLeqttsdH
"I don't have to talk to Yang Hyun-suk. He's right here with me. I put you on loud speaker."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbFW9YODqT
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad663joXqf
I swallowed as I stopped pacing and my heart did one huge beat that I felt my chest hurt.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst7vo3A50p
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetVB2Bq9l9
"Oh..., good afternoon, Yang Hyun-suk sarangnim," I said quickly, so as not to seem surprised.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrZs1oQ1ow
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TNk7CHeP2
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22OiByZWfh
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFox88cj91
"And what do you think?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoLcAhQbHj
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQU9HYzauc
"Well..., as much as the idea sounds tempting, I would actually refuse."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsHb7rshJe
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBcudIeslN
My heart sank. I told myself it was worth a try anyway.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9gxhHvjsz
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR7SDo110n
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mb3ECaP25
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhkwcG8C9g
"Really!" I cried out in excitement. I can't believe he actually agreed.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC68ScCI1wN
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRrGd9LltA
"Let's not forget that we're the ones that have the final say. If it's good, then we will proceed."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjK3EmbHc1
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdTAhYWuE2
"Thank you!" I said with so much excitement. I could hear the two managers chuckle to themselves. "I promise you won't be disappointed."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrPjobLrui
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92BJ146lJY
"Make us proud, Sam," said Collins. "I hope you'll be able to come up with lyrics."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTmw00JlZa
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tw7Kp4UXq
"I will. Thank you once again."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vCnTvVm4X
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjquJ9AfSpV
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5LsgCzFI4
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7NC5VjVpP
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRtI5gliyA
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyEySmikU7
"What's the news?" Mike asked as he looked at me.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcITbEJHKM
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69qtG3Jl5L
"I hope it's good," said Himchan.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F9Thaz6jF
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNxCwPEaAs
"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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwqp3UDhI8
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqXudrdQYh
"They agreed," I answered.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3pWmxY9Bq
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4AbRj6diz
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyFLyox0E0
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KUfJRxPtF
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBU3CrCfT4
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kWfHWW22b
"Ya, I'm also anxious to know what you're all talking about," said Daehyun.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH1WgfJvIK
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL6HtvAe5H
"Me too," said Zoey. "What did I miss?"567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi16Y0XMHz
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPuVn5wq1A
"A lot," I answered.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqMBKNUnOq
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdUHW7RQIN
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.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzSW8EXqaH
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvvy0M6ZXP
"Wow, that's awesome," said Zelo.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS7AFgZtdQ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPMGpfhBec
"You see how the managers just love you, Sam?" Mike asked.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrszhoZ43P
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIe974KrrK
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73MB7isU6S
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc9OSn2uN9
"But for them to agree its because they know Yong-guk is an awesome producer," said Himchan. "No doubt it will be lit."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwlyS8HMZF
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh0R77YxHC
"I agree with Himchan," said Zoey. "And besides, it's more of Sam's original, so they can't say no."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO9rObrISq
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpBHAiUsBm
"Okay, we just need to focus on the instrumental and hopefully come up with the lyrics," I said.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzBr1XSAra
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXAaYZDq50
"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."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iDMiRjwpa
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5v6ogy7ju
"Okay," I said as I rubbed my hands together. "Toxins, get over here by the console, please."567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSN7Xq1g1A
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDipjhH895d
"Okay," said Christine and Zoey as they both stood up from the couch and quickly came over.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzku6wAfC5v
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAQ5AwvCup
"We will be here to help in anyway we can," said Young-jae.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmx1nw7yqq
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaROPNfbat
"Thanks, guys," I said with a smile. I went over to sit back on my chair next to Yong-guk.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafs3F7rywI
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr8Hyzfx3a
"Okay," said Yong-guk. "Let's continue where we ended, shall we?"
