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 6:55.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM2dt6d2Jy
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgkrtphAsd
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp92HRRHM68
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkHJYADG8h
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl6Sb4gj4G
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTfX9LFQpL
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbjPAXw7GZ
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KKYP9MOxC
As I continued to look around the town, I heard someone coming closer behind me. I didn't turn around immediately as I said:791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji1Oxo1k37
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkj1wr2faL
"Morning, Daniel."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojexB1XgNO
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0mNmon2FQ
"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?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWC7dItr2N
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFcaxusk8J
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gyvFdCQJP
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZDQI6srrS
"That's because I never hear your footsteps. You're a cat, remember?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6nFFuZT12
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qah6jId46
I laughed. "I know. Why are you up so early?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHvnVUIOdS
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpKhVfPJBv
"I just woke up. I thought you would be sleeping in too."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KGGHhLctC
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLjuB8AxS1
"Just like you, I also woke up."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62kBU5ijJY
"Yesterday was fun, wasn't it?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oxZpJRLrY
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfUHfOEQXm
"Ya, it was great."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNkgyZxpZt
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjusLP16ij
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NVHelxytH
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2295xy7ZI2
"I'm hungry," said Daniel as he broke the silence.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpoNLko5dE
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZlNEFM2sn
"We can order breakfast right now while the others are asleep. But no sweet stuff for you," I warned. "You had too much yesterday."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsInXNBd7P1
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNpTluB3tT
"I know, I know."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqqAKTv6lq
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw3UJCclvW
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOMb8FnxtL
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy11AY4iZKt
As soon as he put the phone down, he turned to look at us.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeasWp8baw
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflyCoDigk1
"I was wondering who was out at the balcony," said Collins. "I was expecting Sam or Lee to be up, not you, Daniel."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ae7b2F9Hk
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhTqQl5omA
"I know, it's an improvement," said Daniel with a smile.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKTiwFRdXj
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOjv7nvZyr
"Did you order our breakfast?" I asked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd7TY8PdAo
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6Hjqa89NT
"Ummm, no, actually, someone called," said Collins.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6oBAC3kyl
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3spp4EFvh
"How come we didn't hear the phone ring?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr7cATfUzt
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPQgI4BKuI
"As soon as I came in, the phone started to ring and I picked it up immediately."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rnmOQm5vO
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU3NWMWwkq
"Oh, who was it from?" Daniel asked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0LFBryE4Q
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNEvIAcoVK
"Some reporters want an interview with you guys over your new single with BigBang. And also on BTW."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4xHFV8TB4
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tgE2OTFSv
I rolled my eyes as I scoffed. "Mmm, same old, same old," I said.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaPwBdMZFy
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJexaJGIBW
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S2E18FytO
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqtAeANDjJ
"That's if she gets out of bed early," said Daniel. "Everyone's really bummed out after yesterday's event."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzahjsWk9V
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrUXi8oPtN
"Which still proves to be a success. Have you checked the number of views on your video?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTkAswVu4C
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwybyBWIg6d
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqPnYOilhV
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuTwRV7nxN
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsOXeOBQra
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUNyMaGFiB
"You kids are really something else," said Collins. "Okay, let me call room service so that they can bring up our breakfast."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw7lDxPSWJ
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYOxst47Be
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJDqreME9a
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjEHIlz8wg
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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenSWPSMOiA
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEdfUbBRpA
"Well, I'm glad that you agree there is someone out there who is way tougher than you."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnQdKi4DBF
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3poODckVnQ
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy7Pp4mzZS
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpT3DgJbcN
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuSdX1lWVw
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56pozfDU7z
"So, what are you all planning to do today?" Collins asked as we ate.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUWppDgAFY
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABmEAoAgHE
"Come to think about it, we didn't really think about it," I said as I looked at Collins.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVYFXpxlFn
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHGhIb6gKe
"Or talked about it," said Daniel.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM5j6V73Cz
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ516Jsl6y3m
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUq05Lt7u9
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ez8EgDIQV
"Won't that be too crowded?" I asked. "We're way to many."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVBhhT7SlH
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDS53iFTsn
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehv6NrJW5I
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzikoiETj3
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOhhUb88oV
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatMxiv5Dpj
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHN8qIFpWi
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCszmtbLY5f
"I agree," said Daniel raising his fork in the air.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjE6AYP4Vm
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo03uQ8HIMW
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz0Itg4B3G
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8tKHN6M2n
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. 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmBre8yqnQ
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksWxEuxuxZ
"Did you just say songs, songs? Not 'a' song?" Daniel asked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwTh5DvbK7
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MLhwsEooN
"Ya," Collins answered. "You guys will have a little album. Won't be more than five songs."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXXczP900x
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiixMeqA0GQ
"Five songs in two weeks?" I asked also shocked. "That's too much pressure, don't you think?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXebwWw364l
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sPOuLH0vh
"I know. But you guys wanted BTW so badly. So, we thought it will be fun if you made an album."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmbJl0AeOM
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbodqjdScM
"An album in two weeks. We have to come up with songs and produce them. It's going to take a lot of time."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bac8gIzlV
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ne9zfVA4C
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dqeGekOxG
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkvGA5wOj5
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHXPGkkTpY
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkNYBVRQPN
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozL1aN7hGD
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dCCk1nXX7
"And you think telling them now will be great?" Daniel asked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hj8gQd4kr
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrUXQvggEc
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSPUIuOrX2
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZX0etTha1
"I hope the inspiration comes soon. You should prepare and tell the others as well. Right now, you're in charge."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWofwdWSPty
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllo20pWVyX
"Wait, I'm in charge of BTW?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa0OFfeq3V
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4tDY7h21B
"Yes, you're the leader."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlV4Moussm
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQOtMU9t9Z
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" I said waving my index finger. "I can't be leader."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHydrYX2uA7
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gCAH5E1RB
"Why?" Daniel asked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP3QiGa3Vx
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt95wPJiWwz
"Because it's BTW and it's a huge group. I already have the four of you Toxins to deal with."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7su1XpMZn
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRyJkHcIZQ
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJdljhiJqt
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0Td7sB8SZ
I rolled my eyes at him. "Easy for you to say because you're not the one who has been given the responsibility."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzMoNb0Wmt
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAB4NVZM9A
Daniel smiled at me. "Good point."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c0DF0eE1c
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpid2OOrwrz
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FNHlHAuaP
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiOb53r8kZ
"But why can't it be someone like Mino or Seungyoon? Jisoo or Jennie? Zoey or Mike?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSP4IQZIbw
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMoN3YehxZ
Daniel raised an eyebrow at me and so did Collins. Then they both started to laugh.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNU1wxTxBG
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4uwvcq91p
"What's so funny?" I asked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG8Itx973f
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTF7IDKTNo
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfOncU47OC
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB7TmKiN9W
"Well, Zoey's the one who came up the group name. Don't you think she deserves to be leader?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPQCI0fGwn
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLe3BgBBER
Collins and Daniel looked at each other and then back at me. They knew I had a point somehow.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r5466M5tb
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr86Gfbbmt
"We know," said Collins. "But unfortunately, we need someone to push everyone to their best these next two weeks. And that person is you."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjoGvo92ok
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL1IP8RYho
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeTYe5vDj0
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NKlFxGO1q
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRZJJQ3l7S
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlHbMDhYuF
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYprhMzqiHl
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KFcMR6BP1
"Sure," Daniel and I said at the same time.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaniIYC5okV
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTGKQ1zbo2
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee2mpGp9pm
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYbkX1Q9Xp
"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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAKcycfWc8
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQdAXec9HZ
"The usual," I said as I lifted the glass of orange juice to my lips. "Straight and simple."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlmRtKCpJE
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwfs2BkNUB
"Mmm, we're really in for it, aren't we?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRXKXVgbSi
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjGsYjEHgz
"Totally. We wanted BTW and we got it without thinking of the consequences."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuV1qeNRnL
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zGLlg84sy
"Yikes. I know of one person who might laugh at us right now."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSvMUeWxA0
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWX36BRxOC
I drank my juice as I knew who Daniel was talking about.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0bpJp4i5k
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3T27eqkYx
"G-Dragon," we both said at the same time.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp8xcAlaxt
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqOidfg3Qf
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsktNSZU4WS
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5fXKajrmv
"Morning," I greeted her as I was drying my wet hair.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq108QWDMhw
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJFWWQGwuM
She yawned before she answered, "morning. Did you just get up a few minutes ago?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2ybw2ktn0
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5suWRh7ZPt
"No. I actually woke up like an hour ago. You better take a shower and eat your breakfast."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBvrIi0kzH
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xKvwvCYF7
"Why? Are we going somewhere today?" she asked as she rubbed her sleepy eyes.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLM8eXULRK
"I don't know. Maybe." I shrugged my shoulders. "Just go take a shower."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqt3cyxxZi
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioJRKWC0oC
"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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLWcjLZx6H
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7wtPvSQbF
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydPWLNVGBk
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG3UM7J3NW
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ocCSbvsBp
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nP7SSVxjN
After that was done, I went on to post something:791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLszTiuSQd
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw3AnoZ2LX
"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....."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9YjonPIMR
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ukzTUTMlf
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:791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwZPTyTEIh
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQpsP0IUgb
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UEUHD3XMc
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzHShybhlz
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HSCEmNmrW
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59jiOkBBgO
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PfePAtsVZ
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPREPhcQkwo
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzviVZTuCU
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWmypZwiPc
"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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiimsvCp4BV
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2xjXraYW5
"Morning," I said. "Oh, Collins said you should call him when you get up."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGdBpi6yKF
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwLyownMQ6
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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk6L8LIvUg
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzMtT4E9RQ
Just as she turned around to leave, she stopped. She turned around again and looked at me.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzs7t61UYG
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX91JI7n3K
"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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALs9oSX8IG
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb6I5PI9BN
"Oh, my. Collins told you the plan, didn't he?" Lee asked, her eyes now wide awake.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn811oTZmv
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMz5OScqqZ
"Ya," I answered as I shrugged my shoulders. "Daniel and I were the unfortunate ones to hear it straight from his mouth."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mNPrVXR1d
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EutzpmNgQ
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp5EqXXUz7
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl93v6YJDy
"That's why I'm here. But so far, I can't seem to come up with a single idea for one song."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61eCaer8tB
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUgUap8rTx
"It will come around. It always does."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt16eVwnra2
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiQF5Hc6Fk
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuSFNROA7G
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5ZIdmgVfu
"Did someone say help?" Daniel asked as he came into the lounge. "Morning Lee."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdSHuHxeuB
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJuCBNTdH5
"Morning," Lee greeted him. "Have you told these guys they are making an album?" she asked as she looked at me.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamBkmpyUGC
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglChTedxIK
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXzdcKvnjd
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPzoWG7Tfa
"You made a group chat?" Daniel asked looked at his phone that he carried in his hand and checked. "Oh, I see it."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJs49DclbU
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rsLS1lQFd
"Has anyone responded yet?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbpk47HhXC
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHwDpvM2DS
"No, it's like everyone is still asleep. Or probably just ignoring their phones."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q5A0CEsco
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjxfGJZFa4
"They are asleep for sure," said Lee. "Christine's still in bed."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT9XlJwJIB
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucByKbvPdD
"Mike just got into the shower," said Daniel.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs93De9Ux0v
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5vSxJtMh8
"And so did Zoey," I said. "I won't tell them there and then in case the news would make them lose their appetite."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4ZcnwBo2O
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOT6wkUxou
"Good call," said Lee. "I'll catch you guys later." And she soon left the lounge.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT26Vg8oCDr
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3z4Avi03k
"Any ideas, yet?" Daniel asked as he came to sit next to me on the couch.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u3qOHGA32
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgKV9xwyoY
"Does this answer your question?" I asked as I showed him my blank notepad.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzGZA91dkH
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVqpIm6byg
"Well, there are also no crumpled papers on the floor, so, this is a bad sign."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg3tAwTifu
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1vU6sWGam
"A bad one indeed. Do you have any ideas?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yyEVcnSRf
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU7wn2lIn0
"To be honest, no."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc4r8vJZlp
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9I5uCXS23
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFbKatyyr4
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwojeibvMFm
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g0vCC0t4x
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc8CBJ2Wpt
"Maybe all you need is inspiration like you suggested earlier."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NlTWh1SH1
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD3KyG0tuZ
"I wonder where I'm going to get it from. Can you check if anyone else in the group has responded to the message?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3DhglAFT5
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwWVhs9ftK
Daniel did just that and still there was nothing.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRe8f2zwms
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgsIjcXomQ
"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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9eFI58rKO
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmVrPLNNSk
"Heartbreak," he answered. "We haven't done a heartbreak song in a while."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThDaKwRn4L
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQI8hIagyk
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?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNW508iL51
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySS1Vll624
"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?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdetyBGJsct
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyytpLYDk5c
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkY4ezNNpw
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP1t7v0zjN
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GZ2ZS3Md4
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVfR523gig
I paused for a minute as I thought over Daniel's statement. An idea sparked in my head.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiIHTFcDlH
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreJvRaY1xX
I quickly wrote it down. Daniel looked at me and he stood up from his seat so as to see what I had written.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdHVibR2v0
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2FpNmgS5d
"Your idea might have given me a better one," I said as I looked at him.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf7RJpjaws
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQcAzcsIbI
"Okay, what have you come up with?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKZqNhX3l9
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1XvQO5wHA
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnueBNksoB2
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m6oETTEdp
"I just heard my name," said Zoey as she came into the room. She saw Daniel and I standing alongside each other.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXJxrPXdmQ
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOLHBqbsDn
"Morning, Zoey," said Daniel.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2Mj4C1SNB
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TY9vXOtr1
"Morning," Zoey replied with a smile. That assured me that she hadn't seen the message yet. "Oh, breakfast. I'm starving."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZC6Zg5i6F
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKZzUBQT86
She settled herself at the dining table. Daniel and I went back to the song.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYJNffNA5U
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIuV3HLPDd
"Okay, so you want to write on your point of view. How?" he asked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOqFp8YLc3
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYsiuJXGLL
"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?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidHqKzBgKM
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbvrK9zidS
"Ya," he nodded his head.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYlx7V7F3z
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DvPrizlWB
"Are you guys writing a song?" Zoey asked as she ate her breakfast.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdexfttJq8
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga0KKbjRZo
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFySEFASWwj
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8BBXo7YrH
Daniel looked at what I wrote on the notebook. "A Sad Song," was what I wrote.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYquwmKRxBX
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1so8j8wWv
"A sad song? So, it will be a sad heartbreak song or what?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1LF9are2l
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNINSch03D
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIXUTPjYPG
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDKCevOODA
"Make a sad song sound fun? How?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zx3vt4S9C
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhR9KzdhEq
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHekich8kg
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YZIaKOdDR
"You know when there are those times you just want to sit down and listen to a sad song to cure your broken heart?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T9Ms15Yci
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCynC5a7Tw
"Ya, except that sad songs kind of make it worse."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9X6YxH21N
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4UbaMtEe5
"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?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiddRAJ4E8
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMyKgYGRHg
"Wait, so you never used to feel bad after your fights with GD?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFPU7GeNEK
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTQpg1GqDx
"I would. But sometimes you just try to find a sad song to comfort you but it doesn't really come to mind."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr9EYPVuEl
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLNo3VOrtX
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7n3TTTldz
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYgvMAanaK
"We are making an album!?" she exclaimed.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVDQLVF31D
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9ah6FIjgH
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gx0dkWK6d
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWk5F5hNZT
"Wait, what?" Mike asked. "Did you just say we are making an album?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMueqZuS4U
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuXvkWvcwQ
"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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQVHZZHl8d
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipOGMwV31r
"Tell me this is one of your brilliant lies, Sam," said Mike. "You're pretty good at them and you know it."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGKruMTmsM
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHk1Qr8qVK
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehA76oKskF
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2RgPHndmC
"By 'we' you mean-?" Zoey asked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL5dVX2XSL
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaqdW9fSbt
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhGKP1D0yA
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPG7YIShoz
"Five songs!" Mike couldn't believe it. "We have two weeks and we have five songs to write and produce."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlnbThbXDT
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pzGHKya0k
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQR6rvtz5u
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAs5Wu9Feh
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8vcLgmiFs
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMza69sBE43
"Has anyone in the group responded yet?" I asked. 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41JaBN7fgW
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0PbW8rBon
"I saw a few messages just now," said Mike. "Looks like the others aren't happy about this either."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh8EEfEJJ8
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgl5tEPXbi
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMzL3ekkkH
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62avaKLntw
"Great," said Christine, rolling her eyes. "There will be one person who would be laughing at us because of this."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2SEE3Swr4
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31EsZyuZCF
"G-Dragon," the five of us responded at the same time with annoyance.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHfG3AaNkW
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBF7IB1S8Z
"Okay, turn those frowns around, everyone," said Daniel. "We have a busy day ahead."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpqGcl7zvv
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblNWzjjbjT
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBakLaKFMr1
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO0ZMBsn4a
"Tell me you're the leader, Sam," said Christine as she looked at me, standing at the doorway of the lounge.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohG40z2N1O
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe89i6nrUI
"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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBCQ7m2Frm
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOFjSyF33e
"Now, go get ready," I said as Christine rushed into the hall. "We have an album to make."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHcBwjTBs1
