We had all gathered around the console with the producer, Yang Hyun-suk, Collins and Lee taking their seats while we stood around. The producer got the instrumental from Bang Yong-guk which he put in a flashdrive.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLeQHZPQPC

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fw8ZP9zQd
As much as I didn't feel nervous like I did before, I still found myself playing with my fingers that I hid behind me. I felt Yong-guk nudge me on the shoulder with his as he stood next to me. I turned to look at him. His smile told me to remain calm and that everything's going to be fine. I smile back, assuring him that I'm okay.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWNlankfZR

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ca84Gfqvr
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyctWrapbF
We watched the producer insert the drive in the USB port of his laptop right next to the console.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9EW6oKczH

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsTG1F6bgt
I realise that the place is quiet, and I can feel the tension amongst ourselves. I looked at the other Toxins, and I can tell they're nervous. I wish I could tell them that all is well, but I would only be repeating what they said earlier. Let’s just see how all this goes.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoi1nKnzN4
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdtaLmxlA8
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3hn2jV2MV
Soon enough, the tune came flowing through the speaker after the producer hit the play button on his laptop, then came along the beat and other sound effects. I had my fingers crossed for the few seconds that passed. I just hope they like it.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT7GbL8N3D
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4NPuFsaWZ

"Wait a minute, pause," said Yang Hyun-Suk.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckBzvyKQ2o
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB0UeDN1Xm
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PmlbhdMW9
I felt my heart jump to my throat. What could be the problem now?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0QQRXwVCM
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU0s2x4vIw
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE45hK7vaJ
The producer did likewise and all our eyes turned to Yang Hyun-suk. I could sense nervous tension in the air as we all looked at him. Could there be something wrong? We only just started.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxbEupou4E
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzd8S5MEll
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaTMMzofSv
There came a long pause as his eyes were fixed on the see-through glass of the recording booth. I can tell he’s thinking of something, but what could it be? Maybe, he doesn’t like the song. Could it be that bad? For him to stop it so soon, anyone could assume the worst.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUU3KLvuFX
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbGPmqpLIr
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9h8FA9Xk9
"May I see the lyrics?" he asked as he turned around to look at us. His eyes fell specifically on me, though.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDmHbXRc7Z
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzOHyYWlXS
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGo12tPhWk
"Of course," I said as I quickly rushed back to where we sat. I left my bag there with the paper with the lyrics in it. I picked the bag, looked inside and removed the folded paper. I make my way back.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nPjBF5WT3
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnDZOpgg1W
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9f6TkZ7SQ
I give the paper to Yang Hyun-suk and he quickly unfolded it. I’m glad I wrote the lyrics on a clean sheet of paper, because the other had a lot of scribbles and cancellations. That’s just the life of a song-writer, I guess.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxHRJmsnax
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaqwbed9gt
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdyRGef38u
He looked at the paper and now the nervous tension in the room got a whole lot worse. I saw him raise his eyebrow and I turned to look at Yong-guk. Surprisingly, he had a smirk on his face as he looked at me. How is he not scared right now?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5emZ6SIKbi
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eS4C5H0OH
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PJmAzfnHh
Yang Hyun-suk turned around on the swivel chair, then turned back to look at us. This is it. His final judgement.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEBC96omM1
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAQGd3UFP7
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFHHHS1VgT
"This is good," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Once we fuse the instrumental with these lyrics, it will be a great hit."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD44Lnu35B
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeFxVMXZ3u
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxYbqXVgtg
I sighed in relief while the rest clapped and cheered a little, especially the ladies. I felt Yong-guk put his hand on my shoulder with a smile. He mouthed out an "I-told-you-so" and I couldn’t help but blush.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CILq2is9m

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrnl09q4Z3
"This is an excellent piece of work, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk as he handed the paper to Collins. "As much as it is a breakup song, the tune and the beat make it fun to sing to."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmjbfY0GWg

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQzw0202u2
"Okay, settle down, everyone," said Yang Hyun-suk as he stood up from his chair to address us. "Don’t get so excited. We need everyone’s cooperation to make this album a success."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbKTcYmOdP
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgeSbI7MbJ

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9DGhTBvEP
"Now, we would like to say something before we leave," said Collins. "We know that we don’t have enough time on our hands to make the album, but if we all cooperate, we won’t have any problems."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYVUhN7L4t

"So, as we mentioned to you some time ago, you’ll be working with other lyricists and producers for the album, so we’ve to work effectively," said Yang Hyun-suk. "It will be tiring for you, but this song should be perfected today so as to make time to create others."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9GvQaRHuR
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW0PQrDUss
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGxUGHtelw
We all looked at each other. It won’t be the first time any of us has had to perfect a song or an album in a short period of time. Looks like us Toxins have to burn the oil before leaving.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQtAANMPCY
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0Szc6gv5K

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv5WDFSvLz
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnPdoHwVR1
"I know, this seems sudden, again, and we’re sorry about that," Yang Hyun-suk apologised. "We thought it would be nice to shoot a music video for the fans in order to promote the album. It will be stressful, but in the long run, it will be prove to be very effective."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjJwuLxi7c
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztnPX6UFKW
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6ZoYk6aDW
The thought of making a music video still didn’t sit well with me. We’ll be so stressed out from making the album that I don’t know if we’re ever going to manage making a music video. But just like Yang Hyun-suk said, it will be effective when it comes to promoting the album. I look around and the excitement we had earlier just dissipated like it wasn’t even there to begin with.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIASiWOvShG

Yong-guk and I gave a nod of our heads. The two managers started to make their way out of the recording room wishing us the best. As soon as they left, there is silence amongst ourselves. A few seconds later, I went for the door and opened it to peek down both ends of the hall. They are gone. I closed the door and turned to address the others:425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv09UrcrPgo

"Okay, I know this isn’t what we were expecting," I said. "Trust me, I feel like bursting right now, but it isn’t going to help us finish the album. A lot of people are expecting this BTW collaboration to happen, and we’ve to give them the best that we can offer. So can we please, settle down so that we can find a way to work around this?

We've Yong-guk and the producer over here to make sure we finish this song today. We've lyricists and other producers coming in later to help finish the album. I know the music video is a real pushover, but there will be a lot of people helping us out with it.

Yong-guk went on ahead to explain that we will have to hear how the song will play out first before we start to give out parts to sing. Mike and I were with him when making the instrumental and we knew how the lyrics will flow, so we would do a test-run and see if everything will be alright. If need be, we all know there might be a change here and there with either the tune on some parts of the lyrics.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEksRwGJHtR

I placed a hand on his shoulder assuring him that it’s all going to be okay.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw9Z9ztI9u

The two of us go in the booth to the centre of the room to the microphones and the headphones mounted, ready to be worn. We put the headphones on and Yong-guk instructed through the mic on the other side that they will first play the instrumental, then we can see how to fuse in the lyrics. The good part about working with Mike and Yong-guk yesterday, is that even when we were making the instrumental, we sort of tried to work with the lyrics we had. But anything can happen, so we’ve to be ready to make some changes.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOnZpotWaz

Mike and I gave him the thumbs up. The instrumental started to play and we listened intently. As soon as the instrumental was done, I could see the rest of BTW looking excited. Looks like they like the instrumental. Now the hard part begins. I found Mike looking at me.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdenNKnhCm

Mike and I looked at the paper I had placed on the stand before us. We talked a little and agreed on a few things that we already thought about yesterday. As soon as we were done, we gave the producer and Yong-guk a thumbs up. We're ready to go.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4qB4YnpSL

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllDK2XCfFO
I see the producer hit the record button on the console and the music soon started to play. I began with a little harmony before I started to sing out the lyrics of the first verse. I had to sing the lyrics out a little faster due to the fast beat of the instrumental. Mike joined me afterwards.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi36NzYGMeu

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqHNWjMzub
I didn’t think much about it as I continued to sing alongside Mike. And I later realised that this song is pretty fun to sing to. As we entered the chorus, I realised that Mike and I were actually snapping our fingers and moving from side to side to the tune. When we finished the chorus, the producer held us to a stop.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftgvOc17Bi

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWHIbfcKzE
I’m shocked. He looked so stoic I thought he would make us do a do-over. I can now see the rest of BTW smiling on happily like a team they were supporting had won a game. Lee gave Mike and me a two thumbs-up. Yong-guk continued to smile back at us, looking on proudly.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvsPq8kuUP

"You guys are amazing!" came Zoey’s voice through the speaker. Mike and I turned to the window and saw her standing next to Yong-guk and speaking into the mic. She's really loud, that Mike had to remove his headphones and pretended that his ears had been pierced by her voice by sticking his index finger into one of them.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgj6WY9V2K

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r4rL7VcSr
Just like that, we continued composing the song. And so far, it went on smoothly. On the second verse, we had to work around the rap parts first with Mike before we sang them out, but that also went on fine with a few changes. We finished composing the song, and Mike and I were able to go sing the song from A to Z perfectly.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHGiXHwUH5

"Okay, everyone," came Yong-guk. "We need to put the song on record soon. So while we drink our water and have a bite to eat, let’s divide the song into parts and see who will sing what verse. We’ll have a lot of you for backup vocals."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPYKq2IYUp
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI91J0CWPI1
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv2sXY05BG
And we did just that. A lot of us will have parts to sing from the first verses, the bridges and the chorus. And those who rap mainly took the second verse, the third and last verses. Let’s not forget that there’s also going to be backup vocals.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCArYpOisY

Apparently no one left the room. Everyone including Yong-guk and the producer came to join some of us on the couch. The good thing is we were keeping ourselves occupied.

I looked around and I can feel the uneasiness in the room. This isn’t good. Whatever Johnny has planned is ruining our chance of recording the song, if not the whole album. I would’ve called GD to see if the two of them are together, but I would only end up shouting at him.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwnSoQDus6

Mike and Mino went out of the room together. With the door open, streaks of light from the windows in the hall, found its way into the dark room.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVryJrJ6KPl

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhoaV95YzW
That’s what I fear, actually. But to keep things calm, I shake my head. "Nah, I bet it’s just one of his silly pranks. Let’s just wait and see what he’ll do."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH2JW5Yn7J
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrVdhi0aUX

I turned to look at Zoey and I can tell she’s feeling exactly the way I am right now. Johnny is unpredictable, thus making him dangerous. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpiK3CG2us

Mike and Mino did as they were told and Mino did likewise to lock the door behind him. He and Mike stood by the door. Everyone in the room is now silent. We could hear footsteps getting closer and closer. I’m counting two people. Could it be GD and Johnny?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGStB7wmhlG
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvZ0FsQAqU
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlM3wDWY7o
"They must be in here," came a voice. Surprisingly, it didn’t sound like either of the two. But it did sound familiar.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYncoB88cSa
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IS3OOVSMJ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacMJGaZjYk
There came a knock. With our torches on and pointed at the door, Mike gave a nod of his head that he’ll open it. We all held our breaths as Mike took hold of the door knob. I surely hope it’s not some kind of joke and we end up finding Johnny.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPouhP6fdEc

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCW0tM5ggL
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OrE5mX4GP
I raised an eyebrow. GD texted me a few minutes before the power went out. Did he have a hunch that Johnny had been up to something this whole time and still brought him here anyway?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcWCTg82ed

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2tImvXZlw
"Jisoo is right," I said. "GD might have acted like a jerk last night, but never in his right mind would he do this. I guess it’s why he sent me a message telling me to stay where I am before the lights went out."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vU045lbQe

I could hear Zoey murmur beside me. She really wanted to get out there and deal with Johnny herself. But we made a promise to Lee and Collins. We aren’t going to do anything like that from now onwards.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxvdSteTSk

We all stood up from our seats and started to make way to the recording room. I stopped for a bit and pulled out my phone. I really want to call GD to find out where he is and if he knows where Johnny is too. I turned to see Lee talking to the guards, obviously telling them to keep an eye out while we work. I look at my phone again and bit my lower lip. Should I really call him?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpa2V7BGT0

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G716uxZTt
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlIFBt6SMw
I start to wonder how this place could be on lockdown just over Johnny. Did something else have happened that we aren’t aware of? We aren't even aware that we're on lockdown. It will be best to tell the others later so that we can focus on the song. Telling them now will make them panic.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u9A7GAzcb
