As soon as I took off the headphones, I could hear everyone around mutter a little in frustration. They are tired, and I couldn’t blame them, since I was too. 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOfgsWoYzf

So far so good with recording the song. But we had to make a number of pauses here and there when Yong-guk or the producer felt the need to change tune. All we need to work on now was the last verse and backup vocals. 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69WNRPVLsI

The rooms were just at the other end of the hall, so I could feel the guard’s eyes on us as we walked. As soon as the three of us went in, Zoey quickly started to look around, checking the toilet stalls if there's anyone.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcTTwrzsyg

"Look, Zoey," I said as Christine came over to wash her hands, "as much as we all want to go out there and find Johnny to teach him a lesson, it's too risky. And if you ask me, producing the album couldn't have come at a better time to keep us busy instead of obsessing over him."365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxHCAXgT07

"As much as I want to, I know that recording the album is way more important. We’re all worried about what he can do and he might very well just get in the way of things.

"I agree with Sam," said Christine. "Johnny is haunting us at a time when we need to work on an album. And I won’t lie, even if we did make our promise to Lee and Collins, I was going to go out with you. But we’re all tied up. And we can’t jeopardise everyone and the album because of a grown man who keeps acting like a child."365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZCL7OH59S

I looked at Zoey and I had a feeling she might be right. Johnny - like he usually is - might as well get in the way of what we're doing. That’s if he really does end up doing so. We just have to be cautious from now on.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4pQuLaCT6

"Ya," said Seunghoon as he came to stand next to me to put his arm around my shoulders, drawing me into a bear hug. "Besides, I’m the one she’s supposed to be hanging out with. Not him." He threw Yong-guk a look.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho2EDJmK1h

"Nah, I agree with Jennie," said Zoey. "Let's face it, Yong-guk, if Jennie can see you've eyes for Sam, then so can all of us. And I can tell how you enjoyed working with her close to you yesterday." Zoey wiggled her eyebrows.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb8GFGrcIq

365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1cK0p0xY8
"Ya, I can see that," said Seunghoon, sounding upset. He squeezed me even tighter that I felt like I'm being cuddled by an anaconda.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQspTEOOqa

"I think the others are right," said Christine. "You two would make a cute power couple. Imagine this: You’re both songwriters and producers, though for Sam it’s like a part-time thing." I turn to her with a look. I'm not a producer at all. "It’s just perfect."365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYOACiOU8O

I blushed when all eyes fell on me. I bet the producer by the console had his eyes on me too. I've had enough of this discussion. It has to end right now.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7aGGmfaja

365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvBUvDbeCA
Everyone now murmured in disappointment. The conversation was just getting good and Yong-guk had to ruin it. I couldn't help but feel relieved. I was feeling uncomfortable and I'm thankful to Yong-guk for bringing that up. Even Seunghoon's grip had loosened. I can finally breathe.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCwn2iGsB2

365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9jfUF5bf1

365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jtwJLIkca
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSvHp8syds
After the producer spoke, a lot of us got serious and started to make our way to the booth. I stood there for a while as I tried to clear away the heat from my cheeks. I can't believe I'm still blushing up till now. 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDfw01njB7

365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWWj5NSIBN
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2elm3Y742

Yong-guk paused as he looked at me, then suddenly looked away. What was he about to say just now? And is he blushing? 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x3Wm11nIi
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT7RyWXAiz
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAmS4ayv4F

365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytzXjp10C7
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw3MbFjk80
"Ya, right," I quickly darted for the recording booth. I couldn't help but feel Yong-guk wanted to say something really important. 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZd5scDEyc

365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmxaQYAMst
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaPM0XnwpZ
"She said she's on her way," I answered. "But you're right. I wonder what's holding her up." 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCA3Xhpnl0
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV7FENpZez
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcW35vgsj9

365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ2tgfM1HD
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIrdEI3FFX
That's one scenario I don't want to think of. If they do meet or if they already have, who knows what would happen. 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV771MkAhB
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mwfKKyH2x

365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjQ1WOTdHk
"Mmm, I don't know," said Seungyoon as he already had headphones over his head. "Don't you think we should give her a call to make sure she's alright?" 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguA6y2OtDE
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ516IAtkMiT
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvJiCo1iTj
"I think that's a good idea," said Jisoo. She now turned to look at me. "Why don't you give her a ring, Sam?" 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkHCOdOlZL
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh3Dp2ZeF6
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30TY7nlNaB

365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbqHmsMk4c
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61OeUlzhr3
I gave him a thumbs-up as I quickly pulled out my phone to call Lee. I put the phone to my ear and waited. 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlkvmCgjFe
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iZXHu4VTf
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ7OWsa4S8
Everyone's eyes are on me. I'm starting to worry. Why isn't she picking up? Had she somehow left her phone behind somewhere? 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX5G4UxUsk
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUydu2Z83Z
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGq0ylOGjM

365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡashdBszSPs
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKIOeTSxm7
"Sounds like a plan, but I don't think the producer would want that," said Mino as he turned to look at the producer on the other side of the booth. 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemTSKyk3yp
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgceatgoO8J
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToOakdizA4

365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yx1yiIbR5
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKwo1Tqn81
"I second with him," said Yong-guk. "Let's try to work quickly, and if Lee won't be back at that time, maybe a few of us can go out and look for her."365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdyioVAPxm
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiO0LX2BOE
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNBcYCYIeu

365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLHEH3KU8g
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KjBD9UwdV
Everyone else in the booth agreed and I could tell how serious they were when we started to work on the third verse and the back-up vocals. As we followed the producer and Yong-guk's instructions, we made fewer mistakes than expected. Even when we worked, a few of us couldn't help but look out through the glass of the booth to see whether Lee would walk into the room or we might find her seated on the seats watching us. But sadly, there is still no sign of her.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycaRU2gVhP
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHhgVNBW0J
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8hETsKV51

365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLUq3ti3fW
"I thought he would never say that," said Zoey as she literally threw her headphones away and headed for the door. If it wasn't for Mino standing behind her at the time to catch them, they would've landed on the floor. 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQyBk22HGP
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeUQHjIocl
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXnuqk0SXA
"Hold your horses, Zoey," came Yong-guk as he magically stood by the door when she opened it. "We all can't go out there and look for her. For all we know, she might be with the managers or maybe she's not in the building."365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY73ZnXTEX
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC1Gferh6r
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOwgD6XgwZ
I bet now is the time to tell them. "Lee couldn't have walked out of the premises," I said. "Now that Johnny is here, they decided to put the place on lockdown. No one goes in or out." 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7B1xfT3eK
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnOokhXUJF

365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZE6CNOBFo
"Well, if I had told you when we started to work on the song, would you've worked at all?" I asked as I shrugged my shoulders. "Lee probably knew that too, but she didn't want to worry us." 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwb3vW29Hj
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pwvA8caCs
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMeB1Rmne6
"I did too," said the producer. "Someone who works here sent me a text saying that they couldn't get in as he had gone out to get something. Security seem keen to capture this Johnny guy." 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UsDZ6aYAS
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvoqmb9EAP

I called Lee again and after three rings, she still didn’t pick up. I could see Christine cross her fingers. Everyone else is looking anxious, all hoping for Lee to pick up the call. 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVFl6oHuiK

365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7idEEXkR7f
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pwuu2oHz3
We received silence instead. This isn’t right. Then we heard someone panting and the sound of running feet. Could that be Lee? 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjDYi9Ov8s

365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIdexYpqWw
"He told me to run while he deals with Johnny himself. But to be honest, I hear noises behind me and I don’t know what’s going on. Darn it! I think he’s coming." We hear the sound of running feet again. 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkk5E8Aexx

Daniel opened the door and together walked out with the producer, closing the door behind them. The producer started talking to the guard asking to escort him and Daniel to the men’s room. Daniel also added that he really needed to go as he felt he had a running stomach. We could hear footsteps walk away from the door. Seunghoon who was closer opened it slowly and quietly. He poked his head out to see what’s happening. It only took a few seconds before he brought his head back in and opened the door wide. 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRuVsCXeOo
