We had all gathered around the console with the producer, Yang Hyun-suk, Collins and Lee taking their seats while we stood around. The producer got the instrumental from Bang Yong-guk which he put in a flashdrive.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuqCtFRIO4

337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVo7JeLEBN
As much as I didn't feel nervous like I did before, I still found myself playing with my fingers that I hid behind me. I felt Yong-guk nudge me on the shoulder with his as he stood next to me. I turned to look at him. His smile told me to remain calm and that everything's going to be fine. I smile back, assuring him that I'm okay.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcFgRZkQWS

337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfSKyZ9rNv
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvi4l6RdQN
We watched the producer insert the drive in the USB port of his laptop right next to the console.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU7W3w74w9
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPgHZaOmNF
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJZHYoja1n
I realise that the place is quiet, and I can feel the tension amongst ourselves. I looked at the other Toxins, and I can tell they're nervous. I wish I could tell them that all is well, but I would only be repeating what they said earlier. Let’s just see how all this goes.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM5ETZLZPt
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AVK6sNWNW
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthNxhOjFau
Soon enough, the tune came flowing through the speaker after the producer hit the play button on his laptop, then came along the beat and other sound effects. I had my fingers crossed for the few seconds that passed. I just hope they like it.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqjPd4XQ3n

"Wait a minute, pause," said Yang Hyun-Suk.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfVTFOvJ68
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09ux5h17W5
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qxnHZCSNF
I felt my heart jump to my throat. What could be the problem now?337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcwd7UBE0S
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8Ol3JbMGQ
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhfRzkkhov
The producer did likewise and all our eyes turned to Yang Hyun-suk. I could sense nervous tension in the air as we all looked at him. Could there be something wrong? We only just started.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeMhH4Jd2S
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2AOWbeXC3
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNdr8QH8lq
There came a long pause as his eyes were fixed on the see-through glass of the recording booth. I can tell he’s thinking of something, but what could it be? Maybe, he doesn’t like the song. Could it be that bad? For him to stop it so soon, anyone could assume the worst.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZbc6BQyez
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8IFNWf4Ku
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GrHKd7rs1
"May I see the lyrics?" he asked as he turned around to look at us. His eyes fell specifically on me, though.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7tDzEOqRN
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzQqOX9W7F
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzxWJ7G2yO
"Of course," I said as I quickly rushed back to where we sat. I left my bag there with the paper with the lyrics in it. I picked the bag, looked inside and removed the folded paper. I make my way back.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z5LwaswWe
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyva81ujXqX
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkFoWBNIWf
I give the paper to Yang Hyun-suk and he quickly unfolded it. I’m glad I wrote the lyrics on a clean sheet of paper, because the other had a lot of scribbles and cancellations. That’s just the life of a song-writer, I guess.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhBUs8GC3D
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs2OuVgiFv
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0vkpOoOz9
He looked at the paper and now the nervous tension in the room got a whole lot worse. I saw him raise his eyebrow and I turned to look at Yong-guk. Surprisingly, he had a smirk on his face as he looked at me. How is he not scared right now?337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6woQgnWJv
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCBGZ82aTU
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxWZKNrRLR
Yang Hyun-suk turned around on the swivel chair, then turned back to look at us. This is it. His final judgement.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC0gbDrv6O
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3bln5XMhk
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS17itHGrzC

337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYJjxgUDlO
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDR3q3O9ck
I sighed in relief while the rest clapped and cheered a little, especially the ladies. I felt Yong-guk put his hand on my shoulder with a smile. He mouthed out an "I-told-you-so" and I couldn’t help but blush.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalnMviPvAb

337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeNN071uN4
"This is an excellent piece of work, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk as he handed the paper to Collins. "As much as it is a breakup song, the tune and the beat make it fun to sing to."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhe5o8urUC
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6NMc8hgwa

337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboetGhl2JM
"Okay, settle down, everyone," said Yang Hyun-suk as he stood up from his chair to address us. "Don’t get so excited. We need everyone’s cooperation to make this album a success."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhGrlldhyW
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOO8CJXE5T

"Now, we would like to say something before we leave," said Collins. "We know that we don’t have enough time on our hands to make the album, but if we all cooperate, we won’t have any problems."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj9LRU20CT
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSGJxjPmGV
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2cvLEvPMK
"So, as we mentioned to you some time ago, you’ll be working with other lyricists and producers for the album, so we’ve to work effectively," said Yang Hyun-suk. "It will be tiring for you, but this song should be perfected today so as to make time to create others."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxBJMg0g9j
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6khfq9R08
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4BoiMf29O
We all looked at each other. It won’t be the first time any of us has had to perfect a song or an album in a short period of time. Looks like us Toxins have to burn the oil before leaving.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUWvEJbO1R

337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrACQlmj2a
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs88i1Y4Md
"I know, this seems sudden, again, and we’re sorry about that," Yang Hyun-suk apologised. "We thought it would be nice to shoot a music video for the fans in order to promote the album. It will be stressful, but in the long run, it will be prove to be very effective."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkIpwsvYD6
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfnYIbzFUv
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEryyWwEiPP
The thought of making a music video still didn’t sit well with me. We’ll be so stressed out from making the album that I don’t know if we’re ever going to manage making a music video. But just like Yang Hyun-suk said, it will be effective when it comes to promoting the album. I look around and the excitement we had earlier just dissipated like it wasn’t even there to begin with.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0CaQOx9YT

Yong-guk and I gave a nod of our heads. The two managers started to make their way out of the recording room wishing us the best. As soon as they left, there is silence amongst ourselves. A few seconds later, I went for the door and opened it to peek down both ends of the hall. They are gone. I closed the door and turned to address the others:337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb8rCscHbA

"Okay, I know this isn’t what we were expecting," I said. "Trust me, I feel like bursting right now, but it isn’t going to help us finish the album. A lot of people are expecting this BTW collaboration to happen, and we’ve to give them the best that we can offer. So can we please, settle down so that we can find a way to work around this?

We've Yong-guk and the producer over here to make sure we finish this song today. We've lyricists and other producers coming in later to help finish the album. I know the music video is a real pushover, but there will be a lot of people helping us out with it.

Yong-guk went on ahead to explain that we will have to hear how the song will play out first before we start to give out parts to sing. Mike and I were with him when making the instrumental and we knew how the lyrics will flow, so we would do a test-run and see if everything will be alright. If need be, we all know there might be a change here and there with either the tune on some parts of the lyrics.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyb0rNGPiP

The two of us go in the booth to the centre of the room to the microphones and the headphones mounted, ready to be worn. We put the headphones on and Yong-guk instructed through the mic on the other side that they will first play the instrumental, then we can see how to fuse in the lyrics. The good part about working with Mike and Yong-guk yesterday, is that even when we were making the instrumental, we sort of tried to work with the lyrics we had. But anything can happen, so we’ve to be ready to make some changes.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShPAMc19Dr

Mike and I gave him the thumbs up. The instrumental started to play and we listened intently. As soon as the instrumental was done, I could see the rest of BTW looking excited. Looks like they like the instrumental. Now the hard part begins. I found Mike looking at me.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYUPUc52dQ

337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyN8uNo3WQ
Mike and I looked at the paper I had placed on the stand before us. We talked a little and agreed on a few things that we already thought about yesterday. As soon as we were done, we gave the producer and Yong-guk a thumbs up. We're ready to go.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lVDsBXUFX
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYBctw098T
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpDOzGg9D1
I see the producer hit the record button on the console and the music soon started to play. I began with a little harmony before I started to sing out the lyrics of the first verse. I had to sing the lyrics out a little faster due to the fast beat of the instrumental. Mike joined me afterwards.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAemI7XiGL
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGE8ZoVHHB
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaqHTrGyzC
I didn’t think much about it as I continued to sing alongside Mike. And I later realised that this song is pretty fun to sing to. As we entered the chorus, I realised that Mike and I were actually snapping our fingers and moving from side to side to the tune. When we finished the chorus, the producer held us to a stop.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1vYwnmlQX

"Okay, guys," the producer started to say. I think we might be doing a do-over by the way he sounded. "The song is great."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM9DGQCpQ7
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj9kqZU7Y0
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhmidHQTrF
I’m shocked. He looked so stoic I thought he would make us do a do-over. I can now see the rest of BTW smiling on happily like a team they were supporting had won a game. Lee gave Mike and me a two thumbs-up. Yong-guk continued to smile back at us, looking on proudly.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxiP2yygC7

"You guys are amazing!" came Zoey’s voice through the speaker. Mike and I turned to the window and saw her standing next to Yong-guk and speaking into the mic. She's really loud, that Mike had to remove his headphones and pretended that his ears had been pierced by her voice by sticking his index finger into one of them.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z360AGb4V

337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHF5WyjrFS
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp9ZiDhp7s
Just like that, we continued composing the song. And so far, it went on smoothly. On the second verse, we had to work around the rap parts first with Mike before we sang them out, but that also went on fine with a few changes. We finished composing the song, and Mike and I were able to go sing the song from A to Z perfectly.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTk1YbMF6y

"Okay, everyone," came Yong-guk. "We need to put the song on record soon. So while we drink our water and have a bite to eat, let’s divide the song into parts and see who will sing what verse. We’ll have a lot of you for backup vocals."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJtI0EwcNI
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTHzAqPm7E
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg47MAhBaUR
And we did just that. A lot of us will have parts to sing from the first verses, the bridges and the chorus. And those who rap mainly took the second verse, the third and last verses. Let’s not forget that there’s also going to be backup vocals.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4p8dvhrAI

Apparently no one left the room. Everyone including Yong-guk and the producer came to join some of us on the couch. The good thing is we were keeping ourselves occupied. Some were on their phones while some of us were engaged in small conversations. It’s then that I remembered that I had a message on my phone.

I looked around and I can feel the uneasiness in the room. This isn’t good. Whatever Johnny has planned is ruining our chance of recording the song, if not the whole album. I would’ve called GD to see if the two of them are together, but I would only end up shouting at him.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTcUul9obW

Mike and Mino went out of the room together. With the door open, streaks of light from the windows in the hall, found its way into the dark room.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g6QoX5z6E

That’s what I fear, actually. But to keep things calm, I shake my head. "Nah, I bet it’s just one of his silly pranks. Let’s just wait and see what he’ll do."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrInMsMBXc

I turned to look at Zoey and I can tell she’s feeling exactly the way I am right now. Johnny is unpredictable, thus making him dangerous. 337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTWFnG22ox

Mike and Mino did as they were told and Mino did likewise to lock the door behind him. He and Mike stood by the door. Everyone in the room is now silent. We could hear footsteps getting closer and closer. I’m counting two people. Could it be GD and Johnny?337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dwzUHW3yW
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRxQXjscOH

"They must be in here," came a voice. Surprisingly, it didn’t sound like either of the two. But it did sound familiar.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0grDK8mYOa

337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgby7GhGc2
There came a knock. With our torches on and pointed at the door, Mike gave a nod of his head that he’ll open it. We all held our breaths as Mike took hold of the door knob. I surely hope it’s not some kind of joke and we end up finding Johnny.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVKOLsOSA5

"I’m afraid so," the bodyguard replied. "If it were any normal power cut we wouldn’t have a problem. But this is Johnny we’re talking about. We don’t know what he can be up to."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdLlaSwVyT

337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrot4Cx7Swc
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrMZtqSNs4
I raised an eyebrow. GD texted me a few minutes before the power went out. Did he have a hunch that Johnny had been up to something this whole time and still brought him here anyway?337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PrrFxHjnb

"Jisoo is right," I said. "GD might have acted like a jerk last night, but never in his right mind would he do this. I guess it’s why he sent me a message telling me to stay where I am before the lights went out."337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB46BO4jYxi

I could hear Zoey murmur beside me. She really wanted to get out there and deal with Johnny herself. But we made a promise to Lee and Collins. We aren’t going to do anything like that from now onwards.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxizt3HoGQD

While the others were excited, I noticed that myself, the other Toxins, Yong-guk and Lee weren’t. I guess it's obvious. Johnny is still out there.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJx2tnYIIP

We all stood up from our seats and started to make way to the recording room. I stopped for a bit and pulled out my phone. I really want to call GD to find out where he is and if he knows where Johnny is too. I turned to see Lee talking to the guards, obviously telling them to keep an eye out while we work. I look at my phone again and bit my lower lip. Should I really call him?337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xN53gEO22

337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgbZkRJ2bv
I start to wonder how this place could be on lockdown just over Johnny. Did something else have happened that we aren’t aware of? We aren't even aware that we're on lockdown. It will be best to tell the others later so that we can focus on the song. Telling them now will make them panic.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZqDIflFqj
