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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHfhKbdJis

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgBzHI4g6D
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArOIFVthCZ

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4pgaTIrB0
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUNuaJ596Z
We watched the producer insert the drive in the USB port of his laptop right next to the console.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK4JnQCINR

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVZw7kBry4
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpbgv9XriS
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqGXCtCDtp
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3TJ9hbdYO
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SHQJwC170
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGt0peF8Mk

"Wait a minute, pause," said Yang Hyun-Suk.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF32ICj4y00
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMiJoeVD3a
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIRuvmvGX8
I felt my heart jump to my throat. What could be the problem now?312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTAvrAED2v
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nJQOPeYLz
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9of7B7Nr1C
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7OhAmRK5k
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUmQhWsduz
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZObgU0A4g
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDHxL3SwbR
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaEZr8dxkE
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxlSV8FdVc
"May I see the lyrics?" he asked as he turned around to look at us. His eyes fell specifically on me, though.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuggTxJxAgU
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmn8bGrc8w
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P7HzY9phg
"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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx4TSqpwkc
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiiSZ041L1
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ27v3VeGv
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6KcH4OdxX
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrZywQSMe6
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg88hHsAQBZ
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?312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyg7WrkkAY
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjiVXiF2So
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FtYjjxuqt
Yang Hyun-suk turned around on the swivel chair, then turned back to look at us. This is it. His final judgement.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L8gCH9H5p
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2NECMCX4z
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEKpzeLgxn
"This is good," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Once we fuse the instrumental with these lyrics, it will be a great hit."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V75tH4Hmi
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDUhQKHDhg
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBPTPNYcxs
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTJyQ4wnWC
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2U2j153ZL
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJatIFlLKcf
"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."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9BNpkyFRq
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHfxKpxoIE
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yibiLrI9F

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BQOgQPg2H
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXggeGKHtKv

The others started to talk amongst themselves excitedly and I couldn’t help but look on with a smile on my face. I felt a little nudge on my shoulder and I turn to see Yong-guk looking at me.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S9F36z32I

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZa2Dyt6ZB
"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."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuzaqwJlOZ
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14gd8YJAUy

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWvZDfiyDK
"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."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdPLnCRbsY
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6aZnqASfY
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2n9lfZy0E
"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."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ts9r86i8z
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4joRnMZwIX
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qs61jnFuv
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWf7lwJDdV
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46YEuIiQRc
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dVHhHVtvN

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDrpIqxyDC
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUhttwbnJV

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkIiXKAhFe
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8ETER0Fb7
"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."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kqnFxviya
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYiWtXAcVi
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfygLmVhALM
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaVfNYj2C3

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:312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObnDJeKv4Q

"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?

"I know we can." I went towards Yong-guk to stand next to him to face the others. "It's like I said earlier. We aren't alone in 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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU3LiIB0Uq

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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXyrJWdwl2

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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZjBWuuBfE

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUtalmpfrF
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWBcRH1tn6
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvF4WCEDeF
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhSJNzOR4p
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilLRQ1Ca7p
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4AI2YLLIv
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2fljew6df
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBfUeB55ML

"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."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K4bAOF0c8
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9Jhmb0pHI
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBc8VpjOYU
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHcjVm26cY

"You’re a genius, Sam. We wouldn’t have gone through the first verse if you hadn’t tried to compose the song yourself while working on the instrumental yesterday. You knew how the song should go from the get-go."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOPKJYTMMw

"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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeWX6zBYrx

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrKgkm5sbx
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjRCdDSXFd
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oXZl2VMPD

"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."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp73gqjpv35
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zWXGtz0hy
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2YCCEj6l6
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYsXHdkyat

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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW2RMOIbd3

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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1c4lh8WJa

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."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHJpyDOxrt

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. 312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gaUUYTWPX

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?312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yejYmXSEY

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0QfN2emut
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68Zp9r4fuh

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGrOFeEJli
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?312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8TrBgnWlP

"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."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFrNkvqSvD

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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkC8OxdBm6

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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQs67tXcvG

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?312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakpYfJkhNV

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlsRc6vVav
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJFsxB2C2p
