After I yawned and stretched on my comfortble bed, I turned around to the side where I could see the window. It was morning alright and a Saturday too. That meant I could sleep till whenever, but at the moment, I didn't feel like sleeping in late since I was already awake. I sat up on my bed and checked the time on my phone that had laid next to my bed lamp all night as usual. It was only 6:55.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0tWJ1tIXw
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3u1hkv58U
I kicked away the bed covers and stood up from my bed. I continued to stretch some more before making my way to the bathroom. Zoey was still fast asleep. I really admired people like her who knew they had to sleep in on a weekend.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclnxeeVZFO
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cvTqQ2hKu
After brushing my teeth and washing my face a little to help me be wide awake, I went back in the bedroom, wore my sleeping gown and bed slippers, then made my way out of the room into the hall. It was quiet. So quiet that I could hear the noise of the traffic outside as I made my way into the lounge. There were cars honking, cars accelerating unto the road and some people calling out to each other as they went about their daily business.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHHggIeqmZ
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIC6SnsxiU
I made my way to the balcony, opened the door and stepped out. The air outside was nice and refreshing. I looked down the balcony where I could see the main road outside the hotel premises. Even on a weekend, people still seemed to be busy, most of them, I bet, were going to work. Others were probably going somewhere spending the weekend with their friends and families.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaF7EJTmKd
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPwJgWbba4
As I continued to look around the town, I heard someone coming closer behind me. I didn't turn around immediately as I said:912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkAY8ayZRN
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaOCfvqxTq
"Morning, Daniel."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a8zcyMooi
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12EMKgqnSx
"Dang it!" Daniel muttered as he came to stand by my side. He was also in his sleeping robe. "How did you know it was me?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyuI8bkX9l
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8kauL3SPR
"I don't know," I said as I smiled at him. "Maybe it's because you're always trying to get back at me for creeping up on you sometimes."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31TxSqbB0s
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEajK40paAP
"That's because I never hear your footsteps. You're a cat, remember?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9abd2rZbZ0
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1bUfQffbN
I laughed. "I know. Why are you up so early?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45IN7SCoC4
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZDQXnwxBn
"I just woke up. I thought you would be sleeping in too."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi9LtMQ3y4
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ22cFQtmtT
"Just like you, I also woke up."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNXEY9h100
"Yesterday was fun, wasn't it?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bIuZXdoVe
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng7ElIJ9Vv
"Ya, it was great."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATdAvC8c9O
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8GLNhLT1A
The two of us continued to look out around the city of Seoul from the balcony. We didn't say a word as we just stood there and watched for a while.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ff9aauiVd
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5IU0aFL1c
"I'm hungry," said Daniel as he broke the silence.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRGGh6ks36
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IQ7p6rN7T
"We can order breakfast right now while the others are asleep. But no sweet stuff for you," I warned. "You had too much yesterday."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR8bb52nol
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0nuYkKGYw
"I know, I know."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPKyEyL4IA
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJGzcGmZyE
The both of us went back inside the lounge and we found Collins by the hotel landline. Hopefully, I thought, he was ordering our breakfast.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXJVqkNs6A
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSPH0xxBtB
As soon as he put the phone down, he turned to look at us.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEOoWbyWQT
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDUVSMOQqV
"I was wondering who was out at the balcony," said Collins. "I was expecting Sam or Lee to be up, not you, Daniel."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrk9pHLWCE
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P3i2OAwwp
"I know, it's an improvement," said Daniel with a smile.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWxP1Ozrfp
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg08vFUGdTd
"Did you order our breakfast?" I asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQfbkj0Q3j
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzQM60x6lS
"Ummm, no, actually, someone called," said Collins.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgahnHdo6yd
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsTnCMEGg5
"How come we didn't hear the phone ring?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLLc6piLvd
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tONXIBreo
"As soon as I came in, the phone started to ring and I picked it up immediately."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6cku2Cpcm
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53yzuNErZF
"Oh, who was it from?" Daniel asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O32Z338hV
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3o5vI5Lrj
"Some reporters want an interview with you guys over your new single with BigBang. And also on BTW."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcHt2bT7GZ
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5OJt82sk1
I rolled my eyes as I scoffed. "Mmm, same old, same old," I said.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0x1VrNPhT
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmQstoutLI
"Ya, so the phone will be pretty busy at some point during the day, so, you shouldn't mind at all. I should let Lee take care of it."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtAJ8pnGMU
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysFhLvVOCs
"That's if she gets out of bed early," said Daniel. "Everyone's really bummed out after yesterday's event."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGVyAAWtj1
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfHyEH92iO
"Which still proves to be a success. Have you checked the number of views on your video?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wyul5ndFz
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSdhZXDlVd
"I don't want to know right now. I would check on that later. I like to be surprised by the number when I least expect it."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a6Dn2Pkcj
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIGUo30JMu
"I agree with my brother," I said. "Besides, I don't think I'm in the mood to look at my phone early in the morning."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgbwLgODUd
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd1YEOCVJi
"You kids are really something else," said Collins. "Okay, let me call room service so that they can bring up our breakfast."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHwX009LRO
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk0gdkbH4I
"Thank you," said Daniel as he sighed in relief. "You just read my mind. I'm hungry. Oh, and no sugary stuff for me, please. Sam warned me that I shouldn't have anymore."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wYf3t2VzR
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudRqn8Xb31
Collins raised an eyebrow at Daniel. "I know," he said. "Your mum would kill me if she ever finds out. She's as tough as nails."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRFd1BFPGg
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NHKC2GhpZ
"Well, I'm glad that you agree there is someone out there who is way tougher than you."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBaypyFsFG
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcauyK9qbVf
Collins just shook his head at Daniel while I placed my hand on his head and ruffled his short black hair. Collins soon picked up the hotel landline and called for room service to bring up our breakfast.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ4ijTtn9E
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErzhaecoGY
It was still just the three of us now settled at the dining table after our breakfast arrived. Collins made sure to order toast, eggs and bacon for all of us so that Daniel could have a non-sweet healthy breakfast. There was coffee and juice for any of us who preferred either.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rt0a33y0H
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fOOaz4iPE
"So, what are you all planning to do today?" Collins asked as we ate.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEVAAkCupn
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCgOENM6oJ
"Come to think about it, we didn't really think about it," I said as I looked at Collins.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYYF8RzpD4
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6g5NOzD3I
"Or talked about it," said Daniel.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVUjwlqMcE
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pPFfNJiDu
"Maybe you guys could do an interview today?" Collins suggested. "But again, it seems too soon and the reporters would really like BTW and BigBang to be there."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvKz9FyGw4
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP2h0YPRvL
"Won't that be too crowded?" I asked. "We're way to many."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ0GnHdxi8
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3KqDvOZ2M
"Please, Sam," said Daniel. "There are K-Pop groups whose numbers are more than the four groups combined and they carry out interviews just fine."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgViOhXQRUt
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlPnRy15E1
"Daniel's right. But then again, we wouldn't want to make it too complicated," said Collins. "So, I think it would be okay if each leader in each group attend the interview. But I have to run it through Yang Hyun-Suk first. I bet he has also been receiving calls like I have."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgALtTeiud
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o9AQ7Eb0p
"Yes, but let's not do it on a weekend," I said. "We've had such a busy week and I bet what everyone wants to do is just stay in and get enough rest as possible."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMSzDt1MTH
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIYitqXSaO
"I agree," said Daniel raising his fork in the air.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUmsXkAesU
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH00z93pT0
"Yes, you guys can rest for the entire weekend," said Collins. "But let's not forget that on Monday we are on a tight schedule from then onwards. BTW has to be right on track with creating new songs."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAMbPkwW2m
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmpINhGqvc
Daniel dropped his fork after he had just picked up the bacon he had cut out and wanted to put in his mouth. I for one, almost choked on my orange juice as I gently placed the glass down on the table. 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8nqVw39OF
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgXms0uNzv
"Did you just say songs, songs? Not 'a' song?" Daniel asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUMGe0xY7p
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGXNsZ1GKV
"Ya," Collins answered. "You guys will have a little album. Won't be more than five songs."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTOt3JcNgk
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXKyiCaj2J
"Five songs in two weeks?" I asked also shocked. "That's too much pressure, don't you think?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJxUvvhDtM
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW3d4Mjlsx
"I know. But you guys wanted BTW so badly. So, we thought it will be fun if you made an album."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHymO24eep9
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyY02Sx7t1
"An album in two weeks. We have to come up with songs and produce them. It's going to take a lot of time."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeKBiSTl6G
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG8FUHhtPJ
"We know. That's why the three combined groups have excellent song writers, producers and choreographers. So whatever happens, you will all be fine. Remember, this isn't the first time you have worked under pressure."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszEWJFfGFw
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC692r7GGd
Daniel and I looked at each other and we knew he was right. Going through this obstacle wasn't going to be the first time for us, Toxins. We had gone through hard times after our debut turned out to be a disaster and the five of us at that time, had to make it work the second chance we got. And it really did count. Some would have called it luck. Others would have called it hard work. But the five of us called it putting our life on the line.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhouKamCrrH
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PhKzVOlku
"So," continued Collins as we went back to looking at him. "I hope you will be able to break this news to the group. We wanted to tell you all this yesterday but everyone was in a good mood."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUNrJBQW1b
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe31Wikg4D
"And you think telling them now will be great?" Daniel asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK69xQusm8x
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdI629Ywsd
"Not really, no. But it's best you know this today rather than on a Monday when you've had a good weekend of rest."
"I can get started on some lyrics," I said. "But it isn't going to be easy. I need some inspiration to write."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwJykbWoRy
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGXBjK1Hxw
"I hope the inspiration comes soon. You should prepare and tell the others as well. Right now, you're in charge."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOm0Qp21Vg
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIvfCMWaps
"Wait, I'm in charge of BTW?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcacTdtyJNg
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwKAkd7goI
"Yes, you're the leader."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAEW7Io548
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPST4fOdXo3
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" I said waving my index finger. "I can't be leader."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxpj9DVwur
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEq5jCPdez
"Why?" Daniel asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq0CLTjCFq
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV8OroWjQ0
"Because it's BTW and it's a huge group. I already have the four of you Toxins to deal with."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct4IapxNuo
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCSMW03znn
"Ya, but what does it got to do with the others? The rest are more mature than we are, so, handling them will be fine."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK85uQ5Ql5
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34WxuX0aXn
I rolled my eyes at him. "Easy for you to say because you're not the one who has been given the responsibility."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDXNqkkBHA
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEMw4kUaSa
Daniel smiled at me. "Good point."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqr1KtS9S5
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfEyS5agW0
"Sam," said Collins. "I know you don't want this, but Yang Hyun-suk thinks the same too. There is no better person to take up this role."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH8vnM5wBs
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUBEMQn4zd
"But why can't it be someone like Mino or Seungyoon? Jisoo or Jennie? Zoey or Mike?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc9w1XuP2I
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4P8g2Vhrp
Daniel raised an eyebrow at me and so did Collins. Then they both started to laugh.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTbegH68hW
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4i6Lq8xpz
"What's so funny?" I asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8Zbcef7C2
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5TV7rvzoT
"I can't believe you thought of Zoey, but, let's face it, Sam," said Collins."You have been chosen by Yang Hyun-suk and I to lead BTW."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvLwolo5I9
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfZW2Cp0Qj
"Well, Zoey's the one who came up the group name. Don't you think she deserves to be leader?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgLgtnALQY
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJcqfgOerZ
Collins and Daniel looked at each other and then back at me. They knew I had a point somehow.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzICLPQboUl
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkv9XFduD8
"We know," said Collins. "But unfortunately, we need someone to push everyone to their best these next two weeks. And that person is you."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiHhAtpUGj
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5UJEVaDBe
If I was a kid, I would thrown my arms and legs in the air and wailed to make a point, but I wasn't. I should have seen this coming. We never thought of who should be the leader. We should have chosen amongst ourselves instead of the managers doing it for us.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuEKRyiCvg
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBHb0olYJ1
"Fine," I said as I folded my arms. "I'll make a call or send a message to the others and see where we can start."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO5ZtJ8Hfv
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu3MKAfdL0
"And that's why we chose you," said Collins as he smiled at me. "Now, I have to go about my business. When Lee wakes up, tell her to call me."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB9cUoOWRp
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD63npl73g
"Sure," Daniel and I said at the same time.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENxUvZyXLu
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQKSxqEzi2
Collins soon stood up from the table and left for his room. He must have gone to pick up a few things before leaving. It was just Daniel and I at the table now.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwvmPAMssb
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q8MRoysob
"So, how are you going to break it out to all of BTW that we are making an album?" Daniel asked as he continued to eat his breakfast.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLOk4KKY9q
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCwf4WTptx
"The usual," I said as I lifted the glass of orange juice to my lips. "Straight and simple."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4bQedHNnp
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6re3bAGx2
"Mmm, we're really in for it, aren't we?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMOfdQP34a
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf7N2C1TEX
"Totally. We wanted BTW and we got it without thinking of the consequences."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb79mD1UUF
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIqjb3DWFG
"Yikes. I know of one person who might laugh at us right now."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrnq8ByGT6
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoP9TTSBVX
I drank my juice as I knew who Daniel was talking about.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjGn2CHOmo
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgB0FyAksx
"G-Dragon," we both said at the same time.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtCAOoIxnv
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNu0E9tKlZ
After we finished our breakfast, Collins finally left. Then, Daniel and I both went to our rooms to take a shower. Just as I was done, I walked back into the bedroom and Zoey was wide awake and seated on her bed.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pTDWmsPBX
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhf3nAu27j
"Morning," I greeted her as I was drying my wet hair.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNoCS30map
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezE2NjYj0g
She yawned before she answered, "morning. Did you just get up a few minutes ago?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIgecMWrER
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinOWfcxCkM
"No. I actually woke up like an hour ago. You better take a shower and eat your breakfast."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSJiXUJ6To
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoXhN603y8
"Why? Are we going somewhere today?" she asked as she rubbed her sleepy eyes.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T2QO51ITb
"I don't know. Maybe." I shrugged my shoulders. "Just go take a shower."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmRvZSx9K9
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9ZwQVnVjH
"Okay, I'm going." Zoey pushed aside her bed covers and got out of bed. In her sleepy state, she walked all the way to the bathroom.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aT0c5mniy
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD76Jo9txvI
As soon as she had locked the door behind her, I took my phone that was on my bedside and went online. I had messages coming in from all over. From the fans, famous artists and celebrities who were commenting about the video and all. I had a bunch of email too and two of them came from both my mum and dad. I made sure to reply to them first. I'll get to replying to the other messages later.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l5Q2SC42z
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftUGkQwz9C
I soon went on my WhatsApp app and ignoring all the messages that were coming in, I went on to make a group consisting of BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER, a.k.a, BTW. Luckily, apart from the four Toxins, I had the others' phone numbers and I immediately added them all in the group.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NDvTwrbuB
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgB7UaS9IG
After that was done, I went on to post something:912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2UUxR0pCx
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomNVPAQi9Y
"Morning everyone. Some of you are asleep right now and would see this message earlier on, but I have something to tell you and I don't know if you're going to like it. We, as in BTW, are going to make an album and I was told this morning by Collins. So, we have to gather together....."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuDcSBQB8J
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF5KTjb0jf
I thought about the message and erased it. I heard Zoey turn on the shower. I didn't know how I was going to write this. I did tell Daniel that I was going to keep it straight and simple. I started to type and this time I wrote:912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o8GIMuuMA
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9vQfj0weZ
"Morning everyone, Sam here. Big announcement: We're going to make an album and we have to start working on it fast. We only have two weeks, so let's make it count."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHpVo7dlik
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEswDDB3mD
I looked at the message again and I realized I sounded like some of my high school teachers whenever they were announcing about a test or a quiz. They were simple and straightforward and I hoped my message portrayed the same even when I knew others might not like it. Besides, most of us never liked it when our teachers announced about having tests like that either. I guess we just had to deal with it.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHQViRSADT
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqjnccaHzH
I quickly dressed up and since I had a feeling that I wouldn't be going out today, I wore comfy clothes. A cotton white t-shirt and a blue cotton trousers that wasn't so tight. After drying my hair, I tied it up into a rough bun and I got my notebook and pen in the drawer then went out to the lounge and sat on the couch.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk5CTVUAuI
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZHotINUAt
A good ten minutes had passed and as I sat there with the top of my pen tapping against my forehead and my notebook on my lap, I couldn't come up with an idea for a song or any random lyrics. This wasn't pretty. We only had two weeks. I really needed people here so that we can work all this out.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvzKscQOMl
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOIhIuQhSF
"Morning," came Lee whom I hadn't heard come into the lounge. She was still in her white night dress with her white night gown.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRPWH5hR5M
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LzYCfNruz
"Morning," I said. "Oh, Collins said you should call him when you get up."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9quPYHf9ad
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH6DgweKTA
Lee yawned. "Okay. I really needed the extra sleep and I have never felt so good. I'll just go freshen up and call him."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtWcyTvptU
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc185mj0q0
Just as she turned around to leave, she stopped. She turned around again and looked at me.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIoxd1uPIo
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa78pfYxVC
"Wait," she said. "You're here alone with your notebook and pen." I looked at her as she paused for a bit. It looked like she was trying to put something together.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTidFHVp2y
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmCLlGVLUT
"Oh, my. Collins told you the plan, didn't he?" Lee asked, her eyes now wide awake.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhwwFxh2i6
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjNA30NzZ1
"Ya," I answered as I shrugged my shoulders. "Daniel and I were the unfortunate ones to hear it straight from his mouth."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5rlT0HlRk
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Eqn98DEmG
"I thought he was going to tell you guys, like, tomorrow. But I think it's good you know about it now. We only have two weeks."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKrMfkGOXj
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiE88eLZkw
"That's why I'm here. But so far, I can't seem to come up with a single idea for one song."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqZN3m3RZE
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGu2P8mpEn
"It will come around. It always does."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipcgyJSank
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0xX19VlJQ
"I need inspiration," I said as I threw my head back against the couch. "That's what I need. And a lot of my team's help."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyEwEZfG3Q
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDzy4rGhNi
"Did someone say help?" Daniel asked as he came into the lounge. "Morning Lee."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMAHv6OoCb
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaAmBfq16b
"Morning," Lee greeted him. "Have you told these guys they are making an album?" she asked as she looked at me.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKbMKYntra
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1zpc0k6sE
"I've gone as far as creating a WhatsApp group to inform the others," I answered. "They will get the message and contact me immediately."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATG2yuKMuk
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ1O76xHIy
"You made a group chat?" Daniel asked looked at his phone that he carried in his hand and checked. "Oh, I see it."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilkfvd6EPw
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenAGKXfW0V
"Has anyone responded yet?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXEMxOgm4M
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU5nqctRkX
"No, it's like everyone is still asleep. Or probably just ignoring their phones."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sn3jG2GQK
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW37A2wy7UR
"They are asleep for sure," said Lee. "Christine's still in bed."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1O516Gf20
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ84pW1yiQ
"Mike just got into the shower," said Daniel.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqswuOfDGO
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59LXWlW8HI
"And so did Zoey," I said. "I won't tell them there and then in case the news would make them lose their appetite."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvEQxFaRe0
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR7UJVmY1F
"Good call," said Lee. "I'll catch you guys later." And she soon left the lounge.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulrQsyWCsw
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZKvYbgEDg
"Any ideas, yet?" Daniel asked as he came to sit next to me on the couch.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodXFtrfOxS
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACLXhvHaNA
"Does this answer your question?" I asked as I showed him my blank notepad.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzKhP313eS
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0G6Bn2cTu
"Well, there are also no crumpled papers on the floor, so, this is a bad sign."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB8Ex2MRCG
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoVGi90AxO
"A bad one indeed. Do you have any ideas?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBdgcyzIXb
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFzvTXhdzI
"To be honest, no."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXCA698BhR
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVfyV8gLtM
The two of us sat there in silence, then just when I thought an idea was emerging, it quickly sank deep within the depths of my mind.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAptsy9sGj
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFy9SLJKl1
"I thought I had it," I said as I later on sighed. "I think this weekend was really meant for resting. Right now, I can't think straight."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiNjnqT7aj
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ658jHBgz5i
"Maybe all you need is inspiration like you suggested earlier."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS67O8M1Gc
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFaYM9GKd2
"I wonder where I'm going to get it from. Can you check if anyone else in the group has responded to the message?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwcystj17g
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0Cv5Nmwws
Daniel did just that and still there was nothing.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdzSnDnwMi
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgroHCPm0E7
"Okay, this isn't working," I said as I stood up from the couch, leaving the notebook and the pen behind on the seat. I started to pace up and down. "Our first song what should it be about?" I pointed my finger at Daniel as he was the only one there.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFFFg9eKGN
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l9hLoVjDi
"Heartbreak," he answered. "We haven't done a heartbreak song in a while."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUPOAOzUos
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfcWugG2fI
I took my pen and notebook and wrote. "Okay, heartbreak. But you know heartbreak songs are easily written when you've really gone through one. Has anyone been in one lately?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOatId8PbH
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWJ3axDcFl
"I guess not." Daniel stared up at the ceiling and I could tell that his mind wheels were turning. "You and Zoey had gotten into a fight some time ago over G-Dragon, didn't you?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKye5AbYJsn
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2UzYupSUC
"Ya, some of us wouldn't want to talk about it. Besides, it wasn't much of a big deal. Zoey didn't go much into a heartbreak because she believed that I had betrayed her."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOSGxYzOm6
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuXZNMbmbq
"You know, it's not always about the girl losing the guy she likes that hurts. Even friendship with her best friend goes into jeopardy."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfOWtQyl8t
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS8Tzs9YtL
I paused for a minute as I thought over Daniel's statement. An idea sparked in my head.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTiKQ0hP5m
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGLOlreHrX
I quickly wrote it down. Daniel looked at me and he stood up from his seat so as to see what I had written.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WNCypxxig
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsYM5NxYn0
"Your idea might have given me a better one," I said as I looked at him.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0Tr1pJDnU
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN9kbnJ23j
"Okay, what have you come up with?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kmu3tAiYo
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFQ6czoAeU
"As I suggested earlier, heartbreak songs are better when you've been through it yourself. So, instead of writing the song in Zoey's point of view, I thought of writing it on mine."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NI7of5AXg
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1hWBaivYL
"I just heard my name," said Zoey as she came into the room. She saw Daniel and I standing alongside each other.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0X0smGOeu
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydk2XrguYh
"Morning, Zoey," said Daniel.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIEE7aKnav
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLMDuI29iC
"Morning," Zoey replied with a smile. That assured me that she hadn't seen the message yet. "Oh, breakfast. I'm starving."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiudzLeBNd
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoLSZ2x7zb
She settled herself at the dining table. Daniel and I went back to the song.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtD5liJBt4
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKwEy24dAd
"Okay, so you want to write on your point of view. How?" he asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlZPY4KSzp
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7765eCNlAN
"You know how G-Dragon and I are always having a go at each other and that at some point in time it became totally serious?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YyqVvle9i
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXfF7DCLMU
"Ya," he nodded his head.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuONtJVUXnd
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn9rKu4Ozx
"Are you guys writing a song?" Zoey asked as she ate her breakfast.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pc88BqfYX
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsscavIsGWg
"Kind of," I answered. I went back to Daniel. "So, as much as it was heart breaking, I think I can come with an idea from it."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxETM3svSH
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YgcfeWtCh
Daniel looked at what I wrote on the notebook. "A Sad Song," was what I wrote.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW2OGvwI7v
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPCkOp1IeF
"A sad song? So, it will be a sad heartbreak song or what?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Je96SgZcz
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaazrR5jXn
"Not really. I want to turn it around a bit. As sad as the song can be, I want to make it a little fun."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdNlQhXxcy
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y4dPyfqWF
"Make a sad song sound fun? How?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch24fUegRx
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC2GqzKH03
Mike soon came into the lounge and he greeted all over us as he went to join Zoey for breakfast. We all greeted him back.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7BwsGnks2
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WGdzNuDxy
"You know when there are those times you just want to sit down and listen to a sad song to cure your broken heart?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvQBsXcI27
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7SBcr26KD
"Ya, except that sad songs kind of make it worse."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesF27R8jFm
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrul6g0R9O9
"Exactly. Now what if you want so badly to sing a sad song but instead, you sing a song that will make you happy despite you being broken?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76jeAO3X5R
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtXBhhhcwM
"Wait, so you never used to feel bad after your fights with GD?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcJtsoTIYp
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuGFDAkCEu
"I would. But sometimes you just try to find a sad song to comfort you but it doesn't really come to mind."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp822svOKh
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EKtWoavAp
I soon scribbled on my notebook and Daniel was right there, waiting to see what I had written. Before I was done, Christine came rushing into the lounge still in her pyjamas.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA71sQvhsY
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECP3XIbXyZ
"We are making an album!?" she exclaimed.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcEyYqz0SQ
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBK2afvObu
Time seemed to have stopped when she said those words. I looked up at her and she was looking back at me with her eyes wide open and her phone in her hand.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT1txmoBcA
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyrnN1aPIa
"Wait, what?" Mike asked. "Did you just say we are making an album?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr7WjXDk7m
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWfsaw69gj
"Sam sent a message on WhatsApp saying that BTW is making an album," said Christine, her eyes still on me. "Is this some kind of prank?"
Daniel and I didn't say a word as Zoey and Mike also took their phones and checked it for themselves. Both of their faces turned as white as snow upon seeing the message. They stood up from their seats and their eyes fell on me.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpob3QOiTQJ
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AakByMh3d
"Tell me this is one of your brilliant lies, Sam," said Mike. "You're pretty good at them and you know it."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HQkvV3OId
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIBCGNgJoG
"Umm, as much as I want it to be a lie, I'm afraid it's true," I said as I lowered my pen and notebook and looked at the other three Toxins. "We had a talk with Collins this morning."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI553u7cFke
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6wqR6caQb
"By 'we' you mean-?" Zoey asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7vvbNWQ8X
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVH0HApepE
"Daniel and I," I answered. "We talked about it over breakfast and trust me, we didn't think that it would come to this. But the managers had agreed that we make an album of not more than five songs."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygbcBjbqac
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlSLk79x3N
"Five songs!" Mike couldn't believe it. "We have two weeks and we have five songs to write and produce."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5FXmaJh4B
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfcZ0LUy3I
"Ya, trust us, we told him the same thing and we weren't happy either," said Daniel. "We still aren't, but there is simply nothing we can do. We wanted BTW, so, this is what we get in return."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL3dkbvSK4
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsjNpIvpYW
"Dang it," said Zoey. "And here I thought we might just have a blast with one more song till we leave but instead, we get to do five."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9UW4J3wUu
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY5RjfLsFc
"Has anyone in the group responded yet?" I asked. 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdClUdvgHim
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EHGFZwhmw
"I saw a few messages just now," said Mike. "Looks like the others aren't happy about this either."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA2Kq5MrkI
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZBckgq9LG
"Well, Daniel and I were planning on the first song and we really need everyone on this. I have to respond in the group and see where we can meet up. That's if anyone wants to."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GTE4cSQB1
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡponxe3Uzc4
"Great," said Christine, rolling her eyes. "There will be one person who would be laughing at us because of this."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70vi4YRYkq
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMtmh7VRSX
"G-Dragon," the five of us responded at the same time with annoyance.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5UxJ4eDYG
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXju8tbIjK
"Okay, turn those frowns around, everyone," said Daniel. "We have a busy day ahead."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxG6N9x6bM
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvT3GAnVIJ
"Ya, for sure," said Christine as she made her way out of the lounge.
"Don't worry," I encouraged her. "We have been put under pressure before. And as unexpected as this is, I know we can do it."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdiYYT67ou
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CDPNmYGve
"Tell me you're the leader, Sam," said Christine as she looked at me, standing at the doorway of the lounge.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRES6O0BaW
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HRAWO74iI
"I am." Christine smiled and I saw Zoey and Mike throw each other happy looks through the corner of my eye. At least that gave them some comfort.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWHh7wxxov
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HfeBV3fri
"Now, go get ready," I said as Christine rushed into the hall. "We have an album to make."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM8ZN9oEbw
