We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj15SkRU4C
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qMmYqJeCh
We stood outside the gates of the building and were allowed inside by security. The building was four or five storeys high. Yong-nam continued to lead the way till we went inside.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60G7BUA6t4
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEA0ooku4Q
We were in the reception area and there were two female receptionists at their desk. Yong-nam greeted one of them while the other was currently on a phone call. Yong-nam talked to the free receptionist and as soon as they were done, she turned and smiled at us welcoming us to the agency as she spoke in English.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl953pxIsKZ
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyJq3RhvhZ
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVQZAGUVkx
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdmHOfaU8r
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQv7MHLyPM
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTen5g534l
"Come on," said Yong-nam, "the others must probably be wondering why I've taken so long."
Yong-nam led us to the elevator a few feet away from the desk. He pressed the up button and we waited for a few seconds til the doors flew open. Just before we stepped in, Zoey held us to a stop as she stood in front of us, blocking the way to the elevator.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58qxGHqvdK
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygLpRRggom
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNPzz9uKsY
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKgTVmRLYu
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WpoFmddlK
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6gig2ba1E
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0MWmpJTFB
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso27kXzyn6
"Oh, brother," Mike muttered as he stared at the ceiling. "Not this again. The elevator is going to close if we don't go in."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxESlUUzxU
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkzUe66WL8
"We're seven, Zoey," I said. "Don't worry, the elevator will hold us just fine."
"Okay, just checking," said Zoey with a smile. "You remember what happened last time, right?"705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cKcndll1G
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7NXdITG15
Us Toxins would never forget the day when the five of us and the other five BigBang members got squeezed up in the elevator back at YG. There was barely enough room and it was at that point when we thought we would plummet to our deaths.
"Okay, since there's nothing to worry about," said Yong-nam, "should we get going?"705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJjP7mGrG8
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKQVo1q4ec
"Yes, please," said Daniel.
We all went inside and the elevator doors closed before us. Yong-nam who was closer to the elevator buttons, pressed one of them and the elevator started to move upwards. As soon as it did, the soft melodious elevator music started to play.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrXLuc2TCl
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeczRsijgOL
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJK8k0Pfvb
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKYYTmoDhz
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9nAr3CHI5
Soon the elevator came to a stop and the doors flew open. In front of us stood a long carpeted hallway. Yong-nam stepped out, leading the way as usual. He told us where we were; the recording studios.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn67IABR1IR
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUyhj091ut
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyvQaAKDCP
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOYQbFzXoK
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0Afe1oj1c
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfMaJ7tGKG
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIT47Y3lAa
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ocgNk5Uc1
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPcSkVnONy
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnqIF20HiG
"We were also working on writing our song back at the hotel," said Zoey, "we needed some motivation, so that's why we came to buy doughnuts."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRkmw7XUGT
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV4kAGPs08
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekiZ3sl7ON
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYnlrzZomT
"Kind of. But they really work on Sam here," Zoey pointed her thumb at me as I walked behind her. I rolled my eyes. That's so not true. Well..., maybe with chocolate.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77CfPczBMj
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1Fh0Xzx1n
"Doughnuts aren't really my favourite, you know?" I said as I looked at Christine beside me. She quickly noticed my eyes and flushed a little.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbd5M3wSOT
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt6mTSzDcr
Zoey might like chocolate dip doughnuts, but Christine "loves" doughnuts. During our school days, she sometimes wouldn't take the school bus home just so she could buy doughnuts at the nearest store.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN6Z2dYrmu
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCby6ogBuk
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLisoWmo2V
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyQkiaTxUC
We soon stopped by one of the doors down the hall and Yong-nam knocked with his free hand. For a second, no one answered.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXideA25AB
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkXRwGDMGm
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGlpbSMrzd
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AjX3DxUbb
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiSpfPbXvA
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNGrO33a3R
It took a few seconds till the door finally opened. Daehyun was the one behind it and his eyes weren't fixed on us as he seemed to be engaged in some conversation currently taking place in the room. But soon afterwards, his eyes focused on us that he did the unthinkable.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa34PIEoSZ
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimuHHMxuuw
He screamed.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVy8Ff6zw4
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTzCv65A0p
The door shut quickly in our faces. Well, that's weird. Everyone of us in the hall, looked at each other with puzzled looks. Did Daehyun just do that? I could understand if he were a girl, but a guy....? I'm finding it a little hard to believe.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUcb8e7EmM
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufNMkfYG9m
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdTAFCg93t
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8lHNJzk1I
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iffRhGvam
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKLWLSfrCM
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZWzF0KUgp
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiGzhqCXPw
The door opened again and this time, it was Zelo. He gasped and I thought he might shut the door in front of us like Daehyun, but he didn't.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGi3I4DTjl
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuYkVzF7xl
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLoOhAa95j
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOiiIFxRpM
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjCyh7Kp9w
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLCEyO9JGu
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuMZLr6nQp
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrXIn9DmhY
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyVkMAzhui
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfzhZBL5AZ
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWd95un4iS
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF0CHdDA19
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOTTJmO8Yv
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vpoptSbzv
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W9dwTF768
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL15LI1ig6O
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscRSul9z8l
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o8776yZfM
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNMGZERQQX
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSO8L4lRHo
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C1joSvocs
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq1R6PNc7F
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQs3vMSbhK
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPxmWIzX2r
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqY6XKbFi9
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNupmROGUY
As we entered the room, I noticed that the place looked busy. There was the recording room on the other side of the room and the sitting area looked a little messy with papers all around and Young-jae was picking up some of the mess.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjknJrHZPJ
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxGjr03wp9
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow8ym6MXI3
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT2AKUldCy
"Nonsense, you guys couldn't have come at a better time," said Young-jae as he threw away the crumpled papers in the waste bin located at the corner.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz71dZ3uH8h
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fz7CktT7Q
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEgMiSVAFs
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FHSrAsjnm
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHODF4ilySJ
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzWdx50Bve
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6biQ1y6ddj
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjyiyKzRsa
"Same here," said Zelo as he came to stand in between my two brothers. He's way taller than the both of them and I tried not to point it out.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWElENfhzO0
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hZ3QW1LWX
"Please, sit down," said Daehyun as he came towards Christine and me, held each of our hands, and dragged us to one of the couches next to the one Zoey sat.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU6QoBaZxu
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmESN6KQy74
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5vWkFYhl8
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSbh44VG2z
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N4tTOLjbw
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu02O5D7PJa
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5ZFTiD3aC
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfDVPZLots
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9gp8g5iRj
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC6tRygXE8
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj2EnmAOV1
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD010mYa0O
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjjzq744PA
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTWmqEeg54
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV5bB8DfME
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuwapd6oQJ
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x8nxRjGDE
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmF05TX2Kb
"I second to that," said Zoey.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTX48goQlx
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoobML7bOFK
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw6e0jn6Lf
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7vM043sNS
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipSHtGrPyU
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxx0m0xhjw
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXq8nWnE6i
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XY9Q0F5jh
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoPLIZXOJ7
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSY4NgM2J1
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l7HWwRQez
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLmypKq0tW
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5CXwLVSS6
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQAdsLBqpD
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOUG3mmWwu
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpk4uG96uf
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn2XgN3BJf
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv3ljXDYT6
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABtvAMi5o3
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRImlwoGFSN
"Yep," Young-jae answered.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0pONxgsqR
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOer7FlUfnT
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM92wSQKdn1
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KkqSZXuW5
"We've all been there," said Mike after swallowing his first bite, "it's hell when you can't seem to figure out the right lyrics."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gkuqIhKUr
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhnYfCpabc
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vmr1dKHln
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCceRTgBnPr
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsViA1bCrq1
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW5PaSuXKd
"We were actually supposed to do it as a group," said Daniel. He had just finished his first doughnut and stretched out his hand for another. "I mean, the whole BTW. But the others didn't show up."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4knJCVMPDW
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMYzdqkUIX
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7b8Y4o30B
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4aFWCVEwj
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUrzN4kGdT
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokErYnUcNG
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbwRSblTed
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskX8fPVGFZ
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTnybfLw0W
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmeQZwoBTe
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5UhReWZVc
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW82pQfrCpn
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vrm3S8CSe
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPt0hsz8l8
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VCf7dh0yh
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB7s2Mpipk
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaxSjTY8YH
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aoCK5aCFZ
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzWUDyEJE3
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HeUXZbse2
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiUw4OTwTj
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyK16f9Wek
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74O5Sv80nB
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTqZZIlh0U
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqTO6Ah7Ic
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66JoQ2J5ew
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasoREqeYzP
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerNADyes31
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2y3JymIS7
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEE8BErZKS
That's right. We had agreed that we weren't going to stay here long. I also shouldn't forget about the other program. Maybe now was the perfect time to tell the other Toxins about it.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQUHwUVKGt
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CPfr3Yzlu
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRSVEPxeQd
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz2iSwApMD
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdsjpvnnUq
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKWY008i2a
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLGLFqHaJ0
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVLFl3aJod
I took another doughnut from the box, wondering how I'm going to break it to the others that we had plans tonight. But as soon as I straightened up to say something, Lee said:705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeaXEyogHz
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz34cuZHe2a
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuU7F05S76
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NFOHFmOsS
I looked at her, and I am glad that no one noticed the look on my face. The others around me muttered happily to each other. I raised an eyebrow at Lee wondering what she's getting at.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5wa6afHoJ
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr9lW7lZeb
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgmhY1HMNw
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzT5uOnM5L
"Yep," Lee replied with a smile on her face. "And if you manage to make a tremendous amount of progress by the evening, you might just receive a reward."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI9aRr3trm
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNSWwkkCB7
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXyG6e1zel
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKtgUmRaac
"What reward?" Christine asked.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7xN2Gbd3g
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnlebzW0fR
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3UAfam6TM
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7IMXuBUzb
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZsuD7DdAb
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTBfkM1gqD
Lee quickly swallowed. "One thing's certain, I'm neither your bodyguard nor your babysitter. Oh.., don't worry about Collins. I'll just tell him you preferred to work alongside B.A.P for now."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5HEUl3MdF
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75ecWd1XRM
I gave Lee a look and I knew why she's doing all this. We tire her out a lot, so this is her only chance to get us out of her radar at least for a few hours. Who knows, she might just find herself at a massage parlor, relaxing. She's taking advantage that she knows about tonight.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTayXH3M9F
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTANHXcodq
"You shouldn't worry about them, Lee," said Yong-nam as he smiled at her. "If they cause any trouble, I'll be sure to handle them."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g9CV0VOW2
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD7f3q4PwM
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mCugqMAlv
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIryKaSaQCZ
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8l7kXk4T3
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLsXsWI3Hh
"I believe you, Yong-nam," said Lee as she smiled back. "I doubt if they would give you any trouble, that's if they will be serious about receiving that reward."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnmX5kunrS
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiajOzBHrXv
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FYWjWZY1x
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZaePSCgjy
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLdMO5765e
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ595YXFloR
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqudgbmPCl
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0gylZNS4D
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXld3IrR3g
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGQgigwli0
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8vjW3xr43
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKu3aec5ga
I sighed again. Maybe I should just ruin this for her by telling the others about tonight. But..., staying here and working on our song with B.A.P didn't seem like a bad idea. Who knows, we might get the lyrics we need and we also get to help B.A.P with theirs.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQjuWTeaAl
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcV5dOv2gj
"We'll do our best," I said.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyT8tvjqM9

"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fHp0Ip53U
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOYni12N2E
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8o916W6Oh
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIJxvfL0sd
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3bQ13XIxf
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w9RGJg0YP
"We all did," said Daehyun.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqE4HEElr8
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqlaxSHB3o
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvSAmYjmnE
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBcMYdju37
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YXqvtmkLV
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WzGQNAh3g
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmIUqdHUNt
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF0UsB9Ibe
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj3E3OdsEh
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxBJqV3Ecp
"Oh, you don't have to. But if you insist, then okay," she said and turned to look at the other Toxins. "Be on your best behaviour, guys."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOKoP2Zht9
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVIeIhRtfp
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZSMCH16qP
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GvLV9a7gk
"I really hope so. Come on, Sam. See you next time, B.A.P." she waved at the B.A.P members and they also did the same.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidk3sS5ikG
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fz1lKInJ0
Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRQsnd4CGa
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzRal1ndr2
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSe9svMwbp
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQxOMOa0w6
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlpbgZaYC3
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWkYT3eB0g
"No, you just did that because you wanted us out of your hairs for a while." I gave Lee the I-know-your-plan look.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8qyHaPQ2b
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixm5xEYvdK
"Wow, you really know me that well." She chuckled. "But you can't deny it; leaving you here to work with B.A.P may be just what you need to make progress on the song."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaf0GjOGDh
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuT6zeRbcO
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUIsWxvtmb
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kFCLfEkZN
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ79JU55j9Y
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3gextfDWH
"Sometimes you need to motivate people by saying such things," she answered. "It might not seem like it, but you saw how excited they were."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN8SF1gOVV
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kodVve4Qe
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW78JKx2WVf
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYtLeI8FH0
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxVfuLbZof
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOsQ1yCTdr
"You'll see. The others will work so hard, the song will turn out great," said Lee as the elevator doors slide open in front of us. "It's good since you guys already have the idea. It will be more perfected this time around."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ndTXUrzkY
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cedM10T1F
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd2Dt3szMS
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlkupYqd25
"You do that." Lee walked into the elevator and she pressed the button to the ground floor. She soon looked at me and gave me a thumbs up. "All the best."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDviepnal4
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzW1i17iwh
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSKoBQW3eq
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpTbvqQRQ8
I made my way back to the studio room and just before I reached the door, I took my phone out and sent Daesung a message. As soon as I was done, I put my phone away and entered the room.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpJInDNwxz
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzxb5WutdF
"Good, Sam is back," said Zoey.
Time stopped for a second. Just when Zoey said that, I knew something's up and I had to prepare for whatever it is.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3u8HyhHL4
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3zQXg63nN
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xvHJSHdq1
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDMDdyeWkm
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAJTlb9Yji
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBFEs0wREl
Just as I thought. What a bummer.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG4OvP6Afq
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rN7UKr9iO
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiOYiKtoW1
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz3QFTMhb7
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJb3rJqLHg
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA2vSTbNew
"Too fast," I said as I slowly approached them. Everyone else seemed to be back to where they sat previously except for Yong-guk whom I found standing with pieces of paper in his hands.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFSUwVaMdJ
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoQ7Mr8iCp
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYr9APqrOI
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oOjIjrE82
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VH0pBZFwu
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz2PSWbZRW
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnodPR8pPr
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lUQqasiCE
"These guys were about to start arguing," said Yong-nam as he stood up from the floor and came to stand next to me. "So, I had to calm them down."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeAAAIThxx
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLhh4i33lM
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdyHTWdeaM
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLkNaR6G0a
Mike scoffed with his arms folded. "Ya, you can say that," he said without a care in the world, yet I felt a hint of annoyance in his voice.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjrNzzRyjp
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuDsu0elk4
As much as I wanted to know what Yong-nam might have done or said to them, we had to deal with the main issue at hand. Whose song are we working on first?705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rLefntddq
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z1WdEinPe
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh9dlFQso0
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshIicH2nO1
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXswJy3PZ5w
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lTFTME4wg
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIAnvfAFqE
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMNsFWmAyC
I scratched my head as I began to think. Both groups here are struggling to come up with lyrics for their song, so which should be worked on first? If I suggested ours, as much as B.A.P have us as their guests since we bought ourselves here, didn't seem bad at all. But B.A.P had the idea to offer us help with our song first.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO7RxBJ6MF
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzDWylWqBO
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡregb3uZSyd
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmexwoNza9S
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXpxGsfVrt
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnoLwqpDYg
"The fact that they are the ones who thought of all of us helping each other, I don't see why they can't have their song worked on first," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9lYH6DYPJ
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVevPDvir1A
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1ThTAIps4
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiPFaksdeC
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuccn1tBAIG
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15nqRXFNcM
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvRAdjsRnl
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl193sQ3SKu
Mike and Christine didn't argue either. The rest of the B.A.P members smiled at me that I felt like looking away. Their smiles were suddenly making me blush for some reason.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ8S41VRAi
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnfWCMGKyf
"Okay," said Yong-guk, everyone's eyes turned to him. "We can start working on the song right now, but before that we have to take note of time since the Toxins aren't going to stay the whole day."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVK7yXlcR3
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu0ryqPhXF
"I agree," I said and Yong-nam beside me looked at the time on his watch.
"I'll be your time keeper," he said. "And this is close to 11:00 AM. The Toxins leave this place close to 4:30 PM. So each piece of work has at least two hours and thirty minutes."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICofFhsAIh
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOh3vTwJmB
"Sounds good," said Himchan.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSNu7E9b0X
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6BrugimEU
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlLIljWAKZ
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFyl2OheJY
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQjJnLASm2
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdpvvQBbza
The whole room had a different atmosphere to it. I could tell everyone's excited and geared up. This would be a great experience for some of us. We, Toxins already worked with BigBang on our single. But now we get to work on two songs and with a different group too.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjMRZ2WK7E
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUktUoRjtNw
I turned to look at Yong-guk. His eyes found mine and he seemed to have read my mind as we both smiled at each other.
"Let's get to work," I said.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPjEnUV2ZW
705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMp4Fpq2c4
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.
