"Okay, so here are the lyrics for the song," I said after writing them down.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGAGAxx9wi
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2OqEm5CBs
Everyone's attention automatically turned to me. They all fell silent. I read out the lyrics first then sang them out.
"So, what do you think?" I asked, addressing the question towards BAP.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAAaiq3sB6
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2RxJwTW47
"Just admit it," said Zoey, "the song is awesome."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hEhtpbSGO
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXf4snVO5Z
"Zoey." Christine gave her a look that told her to keep quiet. "Let the others take it in first."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTldIf96uMO
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlegYNCm37
"Zoey's right," said Daehyun. "The lyrics are great."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMvHwDLLyl
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitZ2zRlm4d
"I now get what Daniel said," said Zelo, "the song is meant to be sad, but it's fun to sing. You can hear it with the way Sam sang it out."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8uxaiV3Bf
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcA0FcFLu2
"You should listen to the tune," said Mike. "You'll love it."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpshp0JKsl3
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1OEDMEtOP
"I bet that's why you went searching for the guitar," said Jongup as he looked at me.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaOGyTPaCT
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosJEWLFlhC
"Play the guitar, Sam," Himchan insisted. "We're all dying to hear it. I bet Yong-guk can't wait any longer."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtON43dDsI
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpej6NZKvV
"Huh?" Yong-guk looked at Himchan beside him, looking confused. "No, I'm not."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwg3dcTL60
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr3OyBTe97
"Of course you are," said Yong-nam as he gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "Don't forget, I'm your twin."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOtV4KeaNk
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyg7uq3vhh
"Okay," I said as I took the guitar that had been laying on the table the whole time. "Let me play it, then."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvuNAYvNVD
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BIWEkHDrk
I positioned the guitar properly before me with my crossed legs supporting it. Before I started to strum the strings, I took in a deep breath. I played out the tune first. Afterwards, I started to sing out the chorus. It wasn't long so it ended sooner than expected.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQbZ9nDZaQ
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjyYxcQiPk
"Wow," said Young-jae, looking at me like he's just seen something's dazzled him. "The song's going to sound awesome."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MuemRyOeY
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQVPgeLc2s
"Thanks," I said. "Oh, before I forget," I reached out for the pencil on the table and started to write something down. "We also worked on the first verse, but we couldn't finish it up yesterday. We were having a little trouble with the words so we want to see what you guys think."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWfltXWAE2
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YlaJoBqp1
"Alright," said Yong-guk, looking to see what I was writing on the paper. "Whatever it is, I bet we can handle it."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbyKHONqf3
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0LfYH4Urk
"Can't wait to see you try," said Christine. "But then again, if it's you two l'm not worried."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03mCdzqzaA
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA6M0WMfYW
"There you go again, Christine," I said after writing down the lyrics. "Okay, here we are." I laid down the pencil aside on the table.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt23RHg9oH
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A3soIpsIe
I felt Jongup lean closer so as to see what I had written. I leaned to the side a little, but his blond hair almost covered my face. I couldn't help but take a sniff. His hair smelt really nice. Well, this seems unusual. I tried to lean away further so as not to smell him.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9C9hbRcGw
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXv5kOOEd6
"Come on, Jongup," Zelo complained. "You're distracting Sam. We all want to hear what she has written."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DiRqA0b18
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz3paxB9I7
"I don't think that I'm distracting her," said Jongup as he looked at Zelo. "Right, Sam?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTasq7VW8a
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMbSZg3ECb
It's when he turned his head to look at me that I yelped and leaned back further than before, almost falling to the floor. Instead, I ended up leaning on Yong-nam.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdqU99JMFP
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcfUnhonTo
Jongup looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. It's either he didn't know what he was about to do or he knew and was just playing dumb.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSpT09geJO
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjOObWkGl3
"What's wrong, Sam?" he asked.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwaSe9frNO
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZjH2QAJ3s
I suddenly blushed. He really didn't know that he had almost planted a kiss on me. Anyway, it's best not to tell him. I hope the others hadn't noticed.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxwSiTwueO
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalhuLTJ3c1
"Goodness, Jongup," said Mike, "you almost kissed my sister."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6pp4ZLHxP
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYqW5DxFjS
And it just had to be Mike. Goodness, me!571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM8JZGFacj
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMk3m3FZDE
"Huh?" Jongup looked surprised. "I did?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0IQd98klN
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfHBD5xmla
"And you were this close," said Zoey indicating a tiny space with her index finger and thumb.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZDLyxOQY5
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFDM2f0yb6
"Oh...," Jongup turned to look at me. I was still leaning onto Yong-nam's shoulder. "I'm so sorry, Sam. Maybe I shouldn't have leaned in too close."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeO5kiVINl
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl49BnnYu4q
"You see, I told you so," said Zelo.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUi50oqaV2
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Lqd2E06s
"No, I'm okay," I said as I sat upright. "Sorry for leaning on you like that, Yong-nam. I hope I'm not too heavy."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI4QVmafVL
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaJNFFbgUz
Yong-nam cleared his throat. "Not at all," he answered. "You're actually pretty light."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrs8uavYjx
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3d2iVRQDl
I nervously laughed, not sure whether he meant it or not.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM5ZdqX8TM
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eKLeOP5Yi
"Wow," said Zoey as she delightfully clapped her hands together. "First Sam avoids Jongup from kissing her and then she leans onto Yong-nam who prevents her from falling. So sweet."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnviNhHUPEp
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu83FNI3A0
"You're such a fantasist, Zoey," said Daniel as he shook his head.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBrMbt1rbI
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2XZsbTwmc
"Don't mind her," I said. "Can we forget the kissing incident and focus on the song, please?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRXiV4T6z2
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9cUl4Y1tq
"Sure," said Mike. "That's if we can reset Zoey's brain or else she won't stop talking about it."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuQY4AIIMP
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBPdeMzi25
"Are you saying that I'm kookoo?" Zoey asked, looking at Mike.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qRk4wgBKK
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrvs3V2c0E
"You can argue later, you two," I said, giving them a look. "Let's try and focus."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY0R2vRiKc
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5lH9kjgFE
I went back to looking at the paper in front of me and read out the lyrics for them. Just like we did with BAP's song, we started coming up with lyrics. But this time, it proved to be a lot difficult than we expected. Whatever we came up with didn't really fit with the song.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhaV9NZJ13
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYsyb8slMs
"Is it just me or something's just off?" Young-jae asked.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo96yKF0CR
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHBndDBAdL
"I think I feel what you mean," said Zoey as she scratched her head.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYGMPIUPJH
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY5tzR9pdw
"Huh? What's Zoey saying?" Himchan asked.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1NDICSxkx
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPjA1AtKt9
"I told you we should've rewired her brain a little," said Mike as he turned to look at me. I shook my head. Zoey on the other hand, ignored him. That's so unlike her.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxMcKXZcwz
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjVXH3S2Dm
"I feel we aren't working like we did the first time," said Christine.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VtWsVMbSe
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QNzCuj9cF
"Ya, that's what I meant," said Zoey.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7YvM8tDdP
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25l6WG3aJe
"We just aren't coming up with the right lyrics," said Yong-guk, "that's all."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuphXrJD78s
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMZce4rqLL
"Why is that?" Himchan asked.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSu5mbmuip
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVknOrPIHV2
"Who knows," said Daniel. "What do you think, Sam?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8etyCGqJwe
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP0vD33BlT
I shrugged my shoulders as I also couldn't figure out why we found it so difficult. I scratched the back of my head and pouted my lip a little.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdysNb1FteS
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFiYbT2crr
"You look like you're about to cry, Sam," said Jongup.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrQXIFhuix
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIeDniJa0U
"Don't mind me," I said. "I'm frustrated that we're going nowhere."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcltSGxWeB
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5d8pyDZEk
"Maybe we're all just tired," said Zelo.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIGT3QMT4I
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT3kHTjrCv
"I felt we rested enough," said Daehyun.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqfwvYAfs1
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGczcHho6s
"Or maybe we've been in the same place for too long," I suggested. "Sometimes the environment contributes greatly."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHcDlicLHW
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTiIO08zvQ
"Maybe," said Yong-guk.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAsR5DvQeh
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8oX4kCHnZ
"What do you think, Yong-nam?" Christine asked as she turned to look at him.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbxZg7DUe4
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnn0bqepeK
He raised his arms up to stretch. As soon as he put them down, he said, "I think we're all just tired. We exhausted ourselves working on BAP's piece and thought we would do the same with this one. If you ask me, we should just call it a day and continue tomorrow."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdWSHKIblU
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuIxva9qhJ
"Tomorrow?" Daniel looked shocked at the idea. "Won't that be a little too late for us?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu76rv756id
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDvo9ihinE
"You're right," I said as I slapped my forehead. "We've to meet the songwriters and composers for the album. We won't have enough time."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4haVeTcSB
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo708xM1xp
"Not forgetting that we should at least have something to present to Yang Hyun-suk," said Zoey.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisF6RZXidy
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeohOKtfM9c
"I told Collins to buy me more time, but I doubt Yang Hyun-suk will even want to hear it. Goodness, just thinking about it feels overwhelming." I buried my face into my hands.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwOQ8UwD6D
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9hCtpqKym
"Now I wish we never had to make an album," said Zoey as she leaned back on the chair and sighed.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KkCuID7Qr
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROpsWiDT8s
"Wow, you guys are working on an album?" Jongup asked.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjmnjQcUO6
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8J0jaic0z
"Yep," I answered as I lifted my face up from my hands. "Our managers are ambitious."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1eXzUk4iU
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExC54uxmef
"At least we don't have to worry about the other songs," said Zoey.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5rUmt0eMe
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4x1pmHeTP
"But you heard what Collins said this morning, Zoey. This one has to be awesome. But the way we're so exhausted, I feel we aren't going anywhere."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiXdd1LNZ5
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmHzvoIs8I
"I think we should take a little break," said Yong-nam.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOyPJlSZKv
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEriBpdTRz
I went back first onto the floor with my eyes closed. I really did feel exhausted. Why did fatigue have to settle in like this?571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb1fdTQFf1
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CqEjvnPkM
"You're scaring me, Sam," I heard Yong-guk say.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uwgmMCHsa
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAO8je93et
"Oh, don't mind her," said Zoey. "She started this and finding a way to finish it is frustrating."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlCshZ6jZd
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eO9bGJJIZ
I smiled a little at what Zoey said. Starting something and not finishing it really is frustrating, especially if it involves something that you really love to do. And with time ticking by, Yang Hyun-suk and Collins will have no choice but to be disappointed tomorrow.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDshVF4wl3
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsm10o5sRv
"Wait..., does this mean we won't have the reward Lee was talking about?" I heard Daniel ask.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyt7EXoEW5
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX55eGhkZE
I opened my eyes as I remembered Daesung's invitation. I really wish I could tell them the truth, but I held my tongue. Even if we leave this place without much progress, Lee won't hold us back because it isn't much of a reward, but an invitation to go out for an outdoor movie. I sat up.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4Wy2sJCf5
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04ro6lc86G
"Don't worry about that, Daniel," I said. "Lee will give us that reward."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrlPrIMW6h
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYOHfArOAk
"For someone who seems tired, you sound pretty confident," said Himchan.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yet5YXb5D
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmdUjcekgP
"I just know." I smiled at him as I shrugged my shoulders.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopmOBrwoSI
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3UHwSdFKS
"Do you've any idea what it could be?" Daniel asked.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFITMZUAUw
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rwtSjoBIb
I shook my head. It's best it turns out as a surprise.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lyvdeykY3
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKxbYxXUty
"So, what are we going to do now?" Zelo asked. "Just sit and do nothing?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3khJucOC3E
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF2an9cVwx
"We can do something fun to pass the time," Christine suggested.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqrIJEf936
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPihQeXVbM
"Not me," I went back to lying down on the floor.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3vTv4u6M3
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXaGuGcI4Y
No one said a word. I could feel a few eyes on me, while others, I'm guessing, gave each other looks.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8lcVeSJgE
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpLclJ9rYq
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "You're such a party pooper."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjzx9x7mQQ
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQcIjWlxdD
"Haven't heard you call me that in a while," I said as I smiled at the ceiling.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRUQDxsNLx
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofuWwhMukv
"Get up, will you? This is no time to be lying down."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbNbzJB8n2
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqVmKUIh68
"There's nothing wrong with lying down to rest, is there?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21yHTUwPWj
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mQ1qbjAcP
"Goodness, me." Zoey sounded frustrated. She couldn't argue over that and she knew it.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1OX7XVqOp
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSViHGqZHb
"Maybe we should call Lee to pick us up," Mike suggested.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG2T1t6kt7
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVevwEmDbb
"Don't bother," I said as I closed my eyes. "With us not under her radar anymore she's probably doing something for herself right now."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVBQupuOf7
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEnstQNplD
I heard Zelo and Daehyun chuckle while I heard Christine and Zoey mutter out in frustration.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxb2qPSSkI
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF8g3OjntM
"Looks like you're stuck here with us until Lee comes to pick you up," I heard Yong-guk say.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAM8Rvh0bD
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoirjPpFqQf
"But we can't sit here doing nothing," said Daniel. "Like Christine said, we better find something to do."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQWrSsr5bV
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfxx4ZBo7y
"You should be resting," I suggested, my eyes still closed.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aIDP8qHjj
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe2bCAlFEd
"Well, we don't want to," said Zoey. I imagined her folding her arms and looking at me like she would at Mike when he got her angry.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawbyof1433
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmU5P0gtTa
I smiled. "Suit yourself."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrFuyISZL7
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDtCdsfYOB
"No one wants to do karaoke in the recording booth?" Jongup suggested.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4495mLhKyk
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoOVzwoRfK
"I think we've done enough singing for one day," said Daehyun.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzfRZJknCd
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4jeoxoArm
"I agree," said Zoey.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTG5kNS3Pc
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkYHPfsXjI
"If there's clearly nothing to do, then I think we should be resting like Sam's doing right now," said Yong-guk.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQz5yQjhe7
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo58j9LDe6
"I like your thinking," I said with my eyes closed. I raised my hand to give him a thumbs up.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvnyMIwQwm
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XQcTPRuVV
"You songwriters all think the same," I heard Christine mutter.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlFyHai2WN
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87PDg9gPVC
"I might not agree with all this," Mike started to say, "but I'm going through with Sam's idea. I'm just going to lean back on the couch a little."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iZKeCQj9c
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKAHFbapzF
"Huh? Not you too, Mike," said Zoey, sounding surprised.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3sgEZBNtF
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DU9QbrWvD
"Quit it, Zoey." I heard him move on the couch, obviously putting himself in a more comfortable position. "There's nothing to do. Why not relax for a bit?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGv9yco4qY
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcEEnCoVYz
"I shouldn't be surprised coming from you."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DN04W5MXO
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0MP5yp3qT
"Ya, ya, ya, Zoey. I'm the bad guy here. Doesn't matter now, does it?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW0AA9uEDU
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vFDd0MUSO
"Well, if there's nothing for you guys to do at the moment, then I'm going to work on something," said Yong-guk.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8o0xgbiOY
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z651Vify7
"And what could that be?" Young-jae asked.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99Gjz8D6Sz
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmpq7x31yC
"Our song, of course."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9YyZIy48p
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Osidz5Eto
"You go ahead and do that," I said.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rSnAcnH8u
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBxFLwEEqG
There came an awkward pause and I opened one eye to look at him.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhNyIAgMoz
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeNzK0WjuA
"You look surprised, Yong-guk," said Yong-nam. He took the words right out of my mouth.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1Pyn4F7sq
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBN2olVOwu
"I thought that would get Sam up from the floor since she seems to really like helping out," said Yong-guk.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOvM4y0m7Z
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwVOpZ3CtR
"I'm drained," I said as I closed my one eye and placed my open palm under my head. "As exciting as it sounds, I'll pass."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lZ7ZaiTOY
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyaDVnYXOa
"Okay, then," said Yong-guk. "And you, Mike?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlxHF6UCax
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKPooyREl3
"I'll pass too," said Mike.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVLVcfajPy
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvxPDi6jLQ
"Okay. I'll be by the console. Any of you guys want to join me?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6ZQj72vQi
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TryljWJ6z
"Well...," Zelo sounded hesitant and I heard a scratching sound across the table. I imagined he was scratching his head, wondering whether to go or not. "Me too," he finally said. "I don't feel like working on the song right now."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e1GqFowP5
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFyjRZRrai
"I'm going to relax over here too," said Young-jae.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKr1trV6sv
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKg4cF5h2P
"What's up with everyone?" Yong-guk asked, sounding surprised.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBnsPUUqLp
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCElQbIbvM
"Like Yong-nam said, we're tired," I said as I sat up. "The best thing to do right now is relax."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fnc5tcQXD

"Aren't you worried about not making progress on your song?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfMHVmuqj5
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXDZv3wyZI
"I was about to ask the same question," said Zoey with a sulky look on her face. 571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzRdF4qvIg
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYIrEp7njc
I shrugged. "At first I was, but right now, I need to relax a little before my brain explodes. Don't let me stop you from working on your song."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoqXT3KWwp
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5IZnPl7ji
"Alright, then," said Yong-nam as he also slept on the floor. "Looks like I can also rest. Keeping your eyes on time can be tiring too."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdAjs9kBWQ
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMwQPm6zE3
"You of all people shouldn't even be sleeping," said Yong-guk.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGrZ7ByRJ0
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ0dqjNA6x
I laughed. As much as I wanted to hear these two brothers argue, it ended there. I went back to sleeping on the floor.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkzLuuh5mM
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZh06P3Fl4
"I'm going to join the relaxing spree too," said Jongup, as he pulled out his phone from his pocket and slept on the floor beside me.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZNCQkmGnZ
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUSUK2dLaR
"Looks like the majority wins," said Himchan as he chuckled.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkNy43tVLr
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWaxEz2yXu
Zoey mourned in frustration. Even I could tell she's tired. She had no choice but to give in.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkff1F9Hn9
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiyRYAlyAw
"Oh, man!" Daniel muttered out loud.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxT8OaGdQf
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGyts52KsK
I lifted my head from the floor to see what Daniel's doing. He had his phone out too and tapping at it. He's probably playing a game.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxG3OoZjvW
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOE8AFDe4T
"Sorry, guys," he said. He quickly looked up from his phone when he noticed people's eyes on him. "Playing a game over here."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKvH4swZNZ
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqlM3s1prF
I shook my head at him as I put my head back on the floor. I looked beside me and saw Jongup on Instagram looking at cute cat videos. I turned the other side to see Yong-nam with his arm over his face, covering his eyes. He did seem just as tired as all of us. He did help come up with some lyrics, so no argument there.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlpDivybUY
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QYCrtQzhT
I heard Zoey sigh and that brought a smile across my face. "I give up," she said. "I haven't been on Twitter lately. Time to see what's going on in the world."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXU2dK2kRl
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLgqkk4Wpl
"I think I'll have a little shut-eye," said Christine.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn1Z8x8RzT
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FE70HnNF1
Everyone seemed to be busy doing their own things now. I counted Jongup, Daniel, Young-jae and Zoey on their phones. Daehyun, Himchan and Zelo were engaged in a conversation. Even when Mike was resting on the couch, he seemed to be contributing whenever he can. Christine, Yong-nam and I were really the ones resting as we closed our eyes.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3I3tsLcwY
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpxwmOEK4G
I heard someone stand up and guessed it was Yong-guk. I could hear footsteps head towards the other side of the room where the recording booth and console were. He seemed serious with what he wanted to do. I continued to lay there on the floor, hoping that I don't fall asleep.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS8UgeTPr2
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaRR9Qmbmz
I found myself slowly imagining about the outdoor movie we were going to watch. Will it be an oldies movie? I would love to watch such. It just sets you in the mood when it has to.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5SqFQIuvw
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK5NLopNMq
I heard Jongup chuckle to himself and I knew he's still on his cat videos. A thought crossed my mind. Here I am thinking of the outdoor movie when I should be thinking about the song. I don't feel like dwelling on it. Now is the time to relax, nothing more.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc3NcnOM7u
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHnT8f3sFE
"Hey, Sam?" I heard Jongup call me. "Are you asleep?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9aM0upkBX
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k9MW9sveu
"No," I answered. I drew my eyes open and looked at him. "What is it?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrZXj8IKXd
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtuU7cx1zZ
"Watch this," he said as he scooted closer that our heads nearly touched. He held his phone up for the two of us to see. We watched a cute cat video where a little white and brown kitten was chasing a movable toy mouse on the floor. It was cute and yet funny at the same time as the kitten tried so many times to capture it. Jongup and I laughed.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTyWGpCfLU
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQOpL34r4A
"Oh, my," I said as I wiped away the tears in my eyes. "The little kitten really struggled. But you've to admit, it's so cute."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvdkzrg4N9
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRbyggLjBQ
"I know," said Jongup. "You should see this previous one. It will knock your socks off."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiOJwnXkeC
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSz3l4QMcw
I joined Jongup in watching more cat videos. We soon moved on to watch people participate in various dance challenges.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleMWAIq8NB
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc44h3afoAv
"We should've a dance challenge one day," I said to Jongup as we watched.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b0hXuoIym
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62WPfcs3T9
"Huh?" he turned to look at me. "We should've a dance challenge?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRKbjJQizb
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoSL68OOtd
"Ya. I mean The Toxins vs BAP."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkbbN0Dyz2
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoNZiv1mO7
"Oh..., like the one you had with Monsta X?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfqzNd1yeX
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFNT56eqff
"Yes, like that one. You watched it?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKaD7sMTwt
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAmk827oFA
"I think a lot of us did. People really liked it."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpjQ6G4yl9
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5T5biUv34
"Too bad we lost. But it was fun. We should've one one of these days. That's if we could even make the time for it."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqi9SUAI8B
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lqps9llf7
"Oh, you've an album to work on."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlOjPEJ81w
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzzLvbSYXh
I stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Just thinking about it drains me." I went back to looking at his phone.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVdAkutbaB
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sVXyvwOCA
"Did I hear someone talk about having a dance challenge with BAP?" Zoey asked.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19UUb7dsnD
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzhjGmWEAM
I raised my head a little and saw Zoey still on her phone.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS6LWtveK2
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JqcbDp7Y3
"Yes, I said that," I said as I dropped my head and stared at Jongup's phone.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIhRtYPddw
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnWCKM95pN
"Why not do so now?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCUDaGcXGk
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUnq3qVgWf
"No!" Christine, Mike and I said out loud at the same time.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QwnKu1YpA
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzNN02QOUL
"Eish, guys. It's why I asked. You don't have to eat me alive."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjSxMpWbBD
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDYgCUTUte
Himchan and the other BAP members around the table started to chuckle.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDt76hyg7G
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlg1Pu1Ixl
"You Toxins really are something," said Himchan. "You do know that the majority of you opposed, right?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnK0jXI0Zi
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYfqE5MVAe
"Except Daniel," said Zelo.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAXaiNA38O
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhKwbyMh9I
"Oh, I refuse too," said Daniel, still on his phone.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7oxV3AUwe
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFGKS20nft
Zoey tsked. "You guys are no fun."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd7FvpCl8V
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4maNoFviM
"Use logic, Zoey," said Christine. "We're all tired and don't have the energy for a dance challenge."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBe15JfZYh
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12gxz8ZC7P
"I know that. I thought maybe someone's in the mood for it."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqs5T4Nq12
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcWZ9bOEGt
"No one is in the mood for it," said Mike.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy46r4FYtE
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfvvvM8t7H
"And what if the BAP members were?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLgDuWuRL7
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9VChJRjOc
I heard Daehyun nervously chuckle. "To be honest, Zoey," he said, "I'm definitely not in the mood."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShWbgR6U3M
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzsiFHWGk2
"Me too," said Young-jae.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8XvMu5IDC
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp7cnNflpd
"Me three," said Zelo.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4soFCzax8
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D9deoaTZs
"Guess I don't have to ask you, Himchan," said Zoey, sounding unimpressed.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4chwcv9eS
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EDhW0RLj5
Himchan, just like Daehyun, nervously chuckled too.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPq5SkUStK
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEixno5slv5
"You can ask Yong-guk," Zelo suggested.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZvQ3eDOk7
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ936c9aCixr
"Nah. He's already busy and I don't like to be a bother."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJA8u15Agc
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UimEs25uf
"Really?" Mike asked. Uh-oh. I smell an argument brewing. "You bother a lot of us everyday."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AKAZ9nN6i
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wB0q9BGla
"What did you say!?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNNll7YKS2
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklzIhXWN1s
"Quiet down, Zoey," said Christine. "You're disturbing Yong-nam. He's probably asleep."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rseBAe6zY
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NiV0k2Sdk
I turned to look at Yong-nam beside me and saw him move his arm above his eyes. He had one eye open. He turned his eye to look at me. I almost yelped. I felt embarrassed that he had caught me looking at him. The corner of his lips raised to a smile. He closed his eye and moved his arm back to cover his eyes. That was it.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡargaYhRH0F
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPO8FCW4sY
"I bet he isn't," said Zoey. "Is he, Sam?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXEJmqedO1
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXqok0iwC5
"Huh?" I got a little caught off guard as I didn't answer Zoey's question.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD8F5p0Wi3
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP4OjNuCfy
"Is he awake?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkEKEnfj07
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bu8kjr6sB
"Not sure," I answered. "He would've said something if he was."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK78x1xAAGQ
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIoooYADPv
I looked at him and noticed a wide smile on his face. Okay...., didn't know what to make of it, so I quickly turned my attention back to Jongup's phone.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dHhBjLi3l
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhBc8whSJ0
"Anyway, where was I?" Zoey asked as she paused to think a bit. I noticed that no one's willing to remind her. It's best not to.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk7X8O3ccJ
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxOU6rJQBZ
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "It's what you said, Mike. How am I a bother to you?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJx5Qf1X0b
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OnXEDPdP8
"You're being a bother right now. I'm trying to rest and you're disturbing me."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNaNzsWJBV
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNXjLqCyLW
Zoey hissed that I thought a snake had magically appeared in the room. If she was one, no doubt she would attack Mike first.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzo341glzz
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R3CY8ZoZX
"Enough," said Christine. "No one wants to see or hear you two fight."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpynll6hpeg
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gzbiu2mTc
"Mike started it," said Zoey.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDF8v5kRxX
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoK7TmrKsi
"You amplified it," said Mike. "You always do."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHA244skVw
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ApIXorpHa
"For once I agree with Mike," I said. "Let it go, Zoey."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4IJgmj23c
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFlyyqwf1P
"You guys are unbelievable," said Zoey.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnNJrKjoVj
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzJrnXz16E
"You're unbelievable," said Himchan as he chuckled. "You really are a drama queen. No offense."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUueMX7GwUS
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93VNKEFqW4
"None taken. These guys call me that all the time."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb7DFmlbGI
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysA0g0tO89
After a while, all of us settled back to what we were doing. I was still watching videos with Jongup when I suddenly sat up from the floor. If I continued lying there, I would probably have a backache.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80CmKuLldD
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuedPWlmnX
I stretched out my arms and stood up, stretching my whole body.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iz8lRQqam
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZcjBWZRfz
"I've had enough of watching Instagram videos," I told Jongup.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmHyBTKDB2
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytzt5rdkNu
He gave me a smile and went back to looking at his phone. I turned to look at everyone and almost all of them were either quietly resting or on their phones.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUCvnysLLb
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYesWUgykZn
I looked over at Yong-guk who was still seated at the console. I decided to go over and see how he's progressing with the song.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC09N5PVPJb
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb9al9MFmg
"Hey, there," I said to him when I got behind him. I bent over to look at him from the side of his face.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQqsNQ0her
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNfUI80Eh2
"Oh, Sam," he looked up at me, surprised. "I didn't hear you coming."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEhI6mtpgW
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIV2XXREro
"I've cat feet," I said as I took the empty seat next to him.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMORB698UU
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SLFedZ0JI
"Cat feet?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K1lV6yHGA
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMtA2a8HRo
"I'm told there are times when people don't hear me coming so they say I've cat feet. I sometimes scare them."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejw8qvVlx8
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIH7W5UjTk
"Oh, I see."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoMvvYn6u5
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡump4VB3lyK
"It's true, Yong-guk," Zoey said behind us. "So don't upset her or else she might come to your room and murder you."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhAusaYEAP
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66lqvmiC9M
"I'll keep that in mind," said Yong-guk as he turned to smile at her.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A707wo6m6
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0GrmKhoFA
"Don't listen to her," I said as I turned to look at the console in front of me. "So, what are you really working on? I thought we were done and dusted with your song."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80uz8d0j5H
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4ya26ATia
"I'm not working on our song," said Yong-guk as he went to work on the laptop.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVxsuTs2zI
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsq3BKPNLf
"Then, what are you working on?" I raised my eyebrow at him.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMRXAEAmnH
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTfHxnWe4n
"On your song," he answered.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALMTG0B2wT
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF55yxBvtY
"Huh?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ15A4j3wah
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEVuDprdw0
"The tune you played earlier gave me a little inspiration to somehow come up with an instrumental. It's still not finished since I just started."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr2OIJnwR3
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp7CIsqopQ
"Wow." I'm surprised. I didn't think Yong-guk would go this far. I didn't even know what to say.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf45nbFttf2
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC2PgRqvuR
"Hey, are you okay, Sam?" Yong-guk asked.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqb89ZxDzl
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PUqnQjhJA
I quickly turned to look at him. "Huh?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKDtkBEZ1q
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDz8nHCQy2
"You spaced out for a bit. Is it a bad idea that I'm working on the instrumental? I know there will probably be someone working on it, but I thought I could do something, you know?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyBZzVx3WN
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcUtf3Vtbr
I smiled at him. He really means it. There aren't many people in the world who are so thoughtful.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJh2QhKFXg
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPiNAjuiS3
"I know what you mean. And no. I think there's no better person to work on it than you, Yong-guk."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rIH2rGKf2
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl7iwh2dYq
"Really?" He looked a little surprised with what I said.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwg5bjY2Bw
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ771A6adqdT
"Of course! Who would've thought we would've you helping us? It's actually really nice of you."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH05qDfp3VI
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64IftnYu67
I noticed his cheeks start to redden a little and he quickly turned away. I continued to smile. I had this overwhelming feeling like I could hug him, but now isn't the time.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB7lY92iZV
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb293rV3Wc
"May I hear what you've done so far?" I asked.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HKRy7p2mC
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiJtahK4u2
"Ah..., sure," he said as he brought over the laptop closer.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcArlVj9oQ
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeNiWVqA0a
He showed me what he had done and even when the instrumental was short, it sounded great. He really did follow the tune and melody like I had done with the guitar. He also added a few beats into the mix making the song sound more like pop.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQKm9rFWEq
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGZpHoq0WA
"Amazing," I looked at him with so much awe. "It's no wonder you're such a great producer."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicHhjiimF8
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtpEdH8VJG
He chuckled. "Coming from you, that means a lot."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ077d8b3tyV
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rm9zRGA3w
"The others should hear this." My ear twitched. "I know you're there, Mike."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3PXIzgokl
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM5y5GV17j
"Dang it!" I heard him mutter. Yong-guk and I turned around to see him behind us. "How come my cat feet can't work on you?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RyyTIgJ8V
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ItrDt8sGt
"Because what you've ain't cat feet," I smirked at him. "You've to work a lot harder than that."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrXk0x2e64
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLfAOsbWvD
"Anyway....," he came closer and placed his hands on my shoulder and Yong-guk's, "what is it that some of us have to listen to?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxHriCz6kX
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgHO0PadSY
"This," I said as I pressed the play button on the laptop, playing out the instrumental for him.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY7RAKSbBp
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS0a8AEpGj
"Wow," muttered Mike. "But wait..., why does this beat sound familiar?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEClLROYD7h
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP35wsZBr14
"It's because it's the beat to our song, silly," I said to him.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNcKjn7myL
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF6FNSWoGv
"Wow! Really!" I saw Mike look at Yong-guk just like I did earlier, with so much awe. "This is what you were working on?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4OM46pLIa
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRzb5BmTit
Yong-guk nodded his head. Mike almost screamed like a girl, but he tried not to be so loud. I couldn't help but chuckle. He looked like his five year old self when he got a remote control car for his birthday.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvOS6WL283
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJClzyf6Dsw
"You're amazing," he said as he patted Yong-guk on the shoulder. "This song will be awesome."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNgxstARM0
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwNV31xr8J
"Thanks," he said. "You should be thanking your sister, though."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzdUiGEuX2
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiP9aphyqO
"Huh?" Mike and I looked pluzzled.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr10z2uhn02
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKHHZ04vLD
"Remember what I said," he said as he looked at me. "The way you played with the guitar inspired me to come up with this."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFsGyo4DcJ
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29hHy6TGT7
"Oh...," I forgot he said that. Now it's my turn to blush, and Yong-guk smiled.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuDzgbvrV6
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwf2u9QMQv
"Ya, my sister is a genius," said Mike. "May I join you?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsOFXradb0
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFDSIxLo6c
"Sure," said Yong-guk. "With you two here, I bet we can work on it together."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NdbTanDAN
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ847dIzsUMA
"And probably come up with lyrics for the song," I said when it dawned on me. "That's why you wanted me to come and join you here by the console."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEavY3y08V
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1DPdnhOY7
"I see you've got what I intended to do." Yong-guk turned to look at me with a smile. Mike sat on his other side. "I thought working on the instrumental will give you some idea on lyrics for the song."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynFQaJ7ePF
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MlPZgSEse
"We'll see," said Mike as he rubbed his hands together and looking at the console before him like a hot, tasty meal he couldn't wait to put in his mouth.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf7F68iTYA
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF472hk4RQS
"Alright, let's start," said Yong-guk.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4Tr61pd9Z
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uq9JzSOz8
The three of us worked on the beats maker software on the laptop. With Mike's creativity and Yong-guk's producer skills, working on the instrumental was smooth and simple. We had no idea how long we had been working on it, but we had fun and joked around whenever we could.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKAPiREoJC
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdqIuZsy2P
"Hey, what's going on here?" Himchan asked as he came to join us.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOWIJBaaVR
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOQWzLyRUm
"We're working on an instrumental," Mike answered.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpUqftUL8E
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbdEy1vpYA
"Which one?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n61bH09s0
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04uvr13jlu
"For our song," I answered. "You should hear it, it's really good."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI4bYt5P4M
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1hw0NBIKm
"Oh, I thought you had run out of ideas for the lyrics."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM3ldRFWzv
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwAnaQ6Rqs
"Well, I did. Maybe if I continue working on the instrumental, I might come up with them."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAIRDYLMpD
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqggtVkAAED
"How far have you gone doing so?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbL1djbPxl
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJQF6F9M5W
"Not too far," Yong-guk answered. "We've only tried to work on the first part and heading to the chorus. But even that needs a lot of work."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EOwoPnJsq
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gR1z7LvcI
"I agree," said Mike.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHZMoiFQVw
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22XNXp3ESy
"And you're going to use this instrumental for your album?" Himchan asked.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBqB2FYq5n
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBoMeHH5M5
"Of course we're," I answered, looking back at him. I now understood why he asked and I winced.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz9rDdQgmf
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1DYoqdd2n
"What is it, Sam?" Mike asked.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfdRrM1h77
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf51ueJXZO
"We need to seek permission to use this instrumental." I scratched the back of my head. "Goodness, why didn't I think about this before?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWtalGHRNG
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVSkRB9nh3
"Oh, ya," Mike turned to look at me quickly. "Why can't you give Collins a call and tell him that we've someone helping us?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiPeynLPaE
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LaruaQD9d
"Collins may agree. But what about Yang Hyun-suk?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzHsEEiCpY
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4niqy2mUA
Mike and I stared at each other. We both winced like we had done something wrong and we would be in big trouble for it.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmffLASLqCr
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zZG2mjpmY
"Gosh, the man is troubling," said Mike as he leaned back in his seat. "He can hunt you in your dreams if you think about him too much."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuoyh2XmTH
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpfRQUKYQP
"He's really strict," I said. "And he's also hard to impress. If we do play out the instrumental for him, would he really like it?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0WzBFV1ZQ
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj3rDA4APV
"This is your tune and melody, Sam. So, he can't refuse. I mean, the song we did with BigBang was all you too."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7eCAqxZIr
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub6svOFgor
"It was?" Yong-guk and Himchan asked at the same time.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPnxihXIrz
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlmbs6tq6b
"Never mind that," I told them as I went back to looking at Mike. "I'm worried because Yong-guk is helping us produce this one. Will Yang Hyun-suk agree?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNJAbA5fET
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE72MjxL2S
"As long as he knows you thought of it in the first place, he'll definitely agree." Mike leaned forward so as to look at me.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw6d7R2DT0
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7Y1pg4ynS
"Does this thing involving me always have to be highlighted?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsbZ9Z0Blg
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjG0j4R08K
"Daa, yes! Out of all of us, Yang Hyun-suk approves of you the most. He'll definitely go through with it."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvanYZLNTH9
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt6CDcGJG7
I gave Mike a look. I don't consider myself as Yang Hyun-suk's favourite among The Toxins. I'm just afraid he won't approve.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjGckl3o8y
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTjU4kUetc
"Okay, if that's the case, than what of Yong-guk? Will he really help us through till the end?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6439o6hX0
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfoxgmGEcy
"I don't think we've to worry about that. Besides, even if he didn't offer to help, he seemed to do it out of his own free will, you know."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABL91x9QhX
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnpvoWft1y
"I'm right here, you guys," said Yong-guk in between Mike and me. "I can clearly hear you."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGNT2eExay
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz41LcTKhw
Mike and I turned to look at him, then ignored him like he wasn't there. Himchan chuckled.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfkEFhZBtH
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWqwHCO6MY
"You're right," I said. "He'll stay till the end. He's such a good friend for helping us out."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZMnvQSwps
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV1LR8Men5
"I know right," Mike smiled. "He's awesome."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSYncwqCLp
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCpzKE4hvG
"I think you better focus on giving Collins a call, Sam," said Yong-guk, trying to sound serious, yet falling to do so.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2nmuVlRUg
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj1l60TANR
"Aww," Himchan complained. "Their conversation was just about to get more interesting."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwjDJHOKjG
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxYCjgsRHL
I laughed. "He's just trying to hide the fact that he's blushing."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOGJgf4mAn
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK7SI2lWWN
"No, I'm not," said Yong-guk as he folded his arms and looked straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtaKZoWO7T
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRENTLbUSbP
Mike burst out laughing that he leaned back further in his seat. "Stop trying to put up a serious face, Yong-guk," he said. "You look awfully funny."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4BETOst0x
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdum4Yn4UDD
I couldn't help but agree with Mike as I also started laughing. I had to keep in mind that I had a phone call to make. I soon stood up from my seat.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglppzYZMsh
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlkltpYdGX
"I'll be back," I said as I tried to stop laughing. "You better not have that face when I get back, Yong-guk."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63pnNROLPw
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbougwgdU1T
I walked away from the others as I made my way to the door. I needed to be somewhere more private if I am to talk with Collins.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gLmk5Lfef
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWVq6qlL0j
I stepped out into the hall and looked both ways. There's nobody walking around. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and searched for Collins' number. I pressed the call button and placed the phone to my ear.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs6KaXISfA
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dxVLvmqEA
His phone rang, and it kept on ringing. I grew worried that he might not answer. Maybe he's busy. He did say he would be occupied today. I better call him at a later time.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IR9lsRy6k
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6bOI9NBPz
Just when I'm about to cut the call, he picked up at the last minute.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1mpO2lbzV
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvLLkkHoRh
"Hi, Sam," came his voice. "How's song writing going?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u5xOfUev6
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvxAe8Roiw
"Not good, I'm afraid," I said as I scratched the back of my head wondering how to bring up the instrumental thing.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHapH2x61L
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5Q8E2DV4F
"You'll figure it out. You do have extra help, don't you?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvMeQbwW3C
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5oFcSNEpC
"I see Lee told you about BAP."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIil1e50bA
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZI8WuoeJg
"Well, she had to. So what can I do for you?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn5y4qhRwI
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIQxW2tMgv
"Well, we were working on the song and we felt a little stuck. So we had help with coming up with the instrumental for the song."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jBeACwUip
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDsu9yCxzw
"You're already coming up with that?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DwXl7ZMAe
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG89DLAmi1
I scratched the back of my head even more as I started to pace up and down in front of the door. "Well, ya. You see, Yong-guk - the leader of BAP - kind of got inspired to make us the instrumental because of the way I played it with the guitar. So we were wondering if it's okay with you that we use it for the song."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG4sGpfdAF
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZO8GdyoeM
There was silence on the other end. I wonder what Collins must be thinking. He's a little unpredictable sometimes and he might not agree with it.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LCs9MNnmL
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLEchNsT94
"Well," he started to say, "we would've to listen to it to see if it's actually good. The big problem is whether he should be working on it in the first place."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡico3VTpX9n
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU455PyDOS
I knew it. I had to say something quick to convince him.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQxM7dpYMF
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPhkW2q38y
"I know, but he's really good. And besides, Mike and I are helping out too. You can be rest assured that it will be great."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPeiexXoyT
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftHmwztVsW
"I believe you. But you know I'm not the only manager in this project of ours."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu20C6W62E
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIJNj2Xmu9
"If you could talk to Yang Hyun-suk for me, I bet he would agree. Yong-guk is a great producer and he's reputation proves that otherwise."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTY4gHWMyM
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U1B8w7oDj
"I don't have to talk to Yang Hyun-suk. He's right here with me. I put you on loud speaker."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CkFzvT8cx
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSx8yc44wJ
I swallowed as I stopped pacing and my heart did one huge beat that I felt my chest hurt.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElk89KN61p
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanEjlPVhMU
"Oh..., good afternoon, Yang Hyun-suk sarangnim," I said quickly, so as not to seem surprised.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKVZKR5qaV
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFbvI67KhT
"Afternoon," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice. I could feel beads of sweet starting to form on my forehead. "I heard everything you had to say."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfGLqBIlhq
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlNs9ReXEI
"And what do you think?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGLvTddKTI
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp1m1geYkY
"Well..., as much as the idea sounds tempting, I would actually refuse."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKiTVTagsK
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGz3SMfm4i
My heart sank. I told myself it was worth a try anyway.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcActrBoAJM
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKfMbTYztp
"But," he continued, "we're talking about Bang Yong-guk, and he's reputation, like you've said, precedes him. If he does want to help out and you think he's the right producer for the job, then I've no objection to it. You can proceed with making the instrumental."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiFZYXaAWa
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D9UoVUs3f
"Really!" I cried out in excitement. I can't believe he actually agreed.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3wnl8OSc5
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N63lYQ5yy
"Let's not forget that we're the ones that have the final say. If it's good, then we will proceed."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPSr6TMzcA
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC44uJZgsFZ
"Thank you!" I said with so much excitement. I could hear the two managers chuckle to themselves. "I promise you won't be disappointed."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdtCnY8DYU
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWkRWi0rhU
"Make us proud, Sam," said Collins. "I hope you'll be able to come up with lyrics."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdoNqmKTOi
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa80vQ4iHt
"I will. Thank you once again."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgj5J4EbXf
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qGi5gKSE1
The two managers wished me luck. As soon as the line cut, I punched the air with excitement. We're really doing this. I can't wait to tell the others.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGedszoLqe
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWIGDxutNa
I turned around and opened the door to the studio. As soon as I went in, I quickly rushed over to the others on the console.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fGpQlkpF9
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoIowtrZEE
"What's the news?" Mike asked as he looked at me.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHVWMjh9tc
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdljKKJIqzQ
"I hope it's good," said Himchan.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGs1TApt0R
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDFxWDSxIU
"What news?" asked Daniel who was still seated on the couch. His eyes left the phone as he looked at us who were by the console.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm7xyywyUW
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyan3ioBwCk
"They agreed," I answered.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jBMobEiOg
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimfeDRykHc
Himchan and Mike clapped, looking relieved. Yong-guk leaned back in his seat, looking cool and composed, but I could tell that he was just as happy as the three of us.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjcrvDPVm5
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVIYoMQp7W
"Who agreed to what?" Daniel asked as he stood up from his couch to come over and join us. "I want to know what's going on."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpOAOCxyFy
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTaRoVbvOT
"Ya, I'm also anxious to know what you're all talking about," said Daehyun.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaQqKMZNFf
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo1s715yPQ
"Me too," said Zoey. "What did I miss?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycW3vt45RO
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jtkj8cSIS
"A lot," I answered.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC2YHgXCgt
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBfQHMpbWB
I told them what was going on and how I somehow managed to talk to the managers to go through with Yong-guk's instrumental.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILI3Ma3DTO
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSWl4rvqnA
"Wow, that's awesome," said Zelo.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh1Qvj64XA
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeTkAvPftz
"You see how the managers just love you, Sam?" Mike asked.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4qwocsbzj
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAxhcA3ocP
"No, they don't," I emphasised. "If they don't like the instrumental, we aren't going to use it. So it has to be perfect."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhlUpWRiOR
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYOlry2YvO
"But for them to agree its because they know Yong-guk is an awesome producer," said Himchan. "No doubt it will be lit."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL5JbCFZIm
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtceq3FAvLV
"I agree with Himchan," said Zoey. "And besides, it's more of Sam's original, so they can't say no."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEbdFk1MMP
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceamz2pdCT
"Okay, we just need to focus on the instrumental and hopefully come up with the lyrics," I said.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvQbwaNegY
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hi180LSBf
"Well, you better work on those fast," said Yong-nam, who was now wide awake, but still laying on the floor. "You don't have much time."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdA2Ya7rkZ
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzknXpFqixL
"Okay," I said as I rubbed my hands together. "Toxins, get over here by the console, please."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiwCupR6YR
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uwVTSenuO
"Okay," said Christine and Zoey as they both stood up from the couch and quickly came over.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvNvFTICbQ
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xpRFMFLXQ
"We will be here to help in anyway we can," said Young-jae.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktaCx9onQS
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vpmM91HM5
"Thanks, guys," I said with a smile. I went over to sit back on my chair next to Yong-guk.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgYlry1KdT
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOEhFKm6eT
"Okay," said Yong-guk. "Let's continue where we ended, shall we?"
