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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eTQdSKqGQ

458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq6dmTyTOl
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlY2kG1fEj

458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W7El1tiba
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmCFHnadlb
We watched the producer insert the drive in the USB port of his laptop right next to the console.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAAfqlIUT1

458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoBUdWtT4c
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sqz5K6ScY
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhZi2Zo5NE
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy17goV5jd
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2OoCMQe9a

458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFAmO6q4TV
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcD8z2mwgm
I felt my heart jump to my throat. What could be the problem now?458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi7Ye1YDrm
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwdfhWh10z
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKfO8Wa1mB
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C6YXAXLV7
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w7k1wM1Vx
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo4KV1OEyR
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj19tIgvyaS
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp70ehKavkY
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnMHXAVVK1
"May I see the lyrics?" he asked as he turned around to look at us. His eyes fell specifically on me, though.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUDYbxSmmG
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vZQbsvoJE
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTR5t9E74B
"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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnMsvnY2qS
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRuG6DHu6G
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxziln27Y1
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMQ1IY8q6T
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX6zEcdAJz
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW5oi4VcAz
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?458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN8coQCPPH
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFgst9g0Ul
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX0bO84UNm
Yang Hyun-suk turned around on the swivel chair, then turned back to look at us. This is it. His final judgement.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjG38shhIW
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQItU9cLsCK
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLCJpYt98h

458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLJAkAUF0W
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBorEsu3pO
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgoat34Tip

"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."458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt6WvORmNK

458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2TYNAQyyn
"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."458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2wDQipMGz
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh0xd3Y3l1

"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."458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZWO1mrfJM
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vdgK17Pyp
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yYcaNoWTQ
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6LPanCzCQ

458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs1GiSJE8T
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSI2HnghmY
"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."458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgXMRGRVJR
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBwbB058KL
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC34ODc6MBp
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOuJ1K9oTc

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:458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkSnY6N2Me

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.

"Thanks," I said. Everyone is actually hoping that all this will go smoothly, and that sort of builds up pressure. I turned to look at Mike who stood beside me and I can tell he’s feeling it too. I placed a hand on his shoulder assuring him that it’s all going to be okay.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUKlsYAIdc

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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPM5v4v85w

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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSpLlv8ZVZ

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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8KKeYtuKe

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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eQ99gLMPw

458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEswiwIChpc
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpZzkNN5LF

458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCu1LQR6X1
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.

"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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj3AHflNCM

458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjY318j1tN
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EvjTMYwra

"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."458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMJmA2LIQi
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0omdBXAID
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM6PKJ719y
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyU37XMEiE

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.

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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFGZQMNiHH

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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhaFEERb0Q

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."458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1fNEw0q9j

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?458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fYMVKPHPN
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2rtfScvz0

458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm4XDzYWuu
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o7jBB0mSp

458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjWjOsYTsq
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGsDQua6SJ
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?458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOizka2w9FT

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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyfuwiakGO

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?458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg9KjOXJx3

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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUAeN0QoTH
