We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i5uTdd4t1
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPfwPGpPBc
We stood outside the gates of the building and were allowed inside by security. The building was four or five storeys high. Yong-nam continued to lead the way till we went inside.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWORYdG21ka
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBaGyCKxmX
We were in the reception area and there were two female receptionists at their desk. Yong-nam greeted one of them while the other was currently on a phone call. Yong-nam talked to the free receptionist and as soon as they were done, she turned and smiled at us welcoming us to the agency as she spoke in English.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylYTlhSCp6
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT3dIsOR61
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzvOYeD1zc
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHYKwjZmTL
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKXYbDfF1E
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QITHaetRm
"Come on," said Yong-nam, "the others must probably be wondering why I've taken so long."
Yong-nam led us to the elevator a few feet away from the desk. He pressed the up button and we waited for a few seconds til the doors flew open. Just before we stepped in, Zoey held us to a stop as she stood in front of us, blocking the way to the elevator.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6T4OMKsri
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8Oh1PuRjc
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu7mtMRobR
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtrnSddVCp
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcKIW0gnho
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB5OLlCUCD
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KWkEHF2Q6
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdATxGkRGv
"Oh, brother," Mike muttered as he stared at the ceiling. "Not this again. The elevator is going to close if we don't go in."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhzNLAVsxM
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6eJHmwrtC
"We're seven, Zoey," I said. "Don't worry, the elevator will hold us just fine."
"Okay, just checking," said Zoey with a smile. "You remember what happened last time, right?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91ZCZnZtWM
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzkVWr9mKc
Us Toxins would never forget the day when the five of us and the other five BigBang members got squeezed up in the elevator back at YG. There was barely enough room and it was at that point when we thought we would plummet to our deaths.
"Okay, since there's nothing to worry about," said Yong-nam, "should we get going?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJNP8MMax6
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN5vDIRsys
"Yes, please," said Daniel.
We all went inside and the elevator doors closed before us. Yong-nam who was closer to the elevator buttons, pressed one of them and the elevator started to move upwards. As soon as it did, the soft melodious elevator music started to play.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmtEOp65Zr
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKoIFcy5IE
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnAgVE7MDV
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflIhpsA3hc
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w62WJ0zS9
Soon the elevator came to a stop and the doors flew open. In front of us stood a long carpeted hallway. Yong-nam stepped out, leading the way as usual. He told us where we were; the recording studios.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve6B4jFtac
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp2a3NC4D7
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8dk0lCArJ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQzv2TFjQt
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFEd2lHm5M
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMBC1Nbjdv
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ4SUtl5sU
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FSTsCEype
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7wjKqWRX4
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRXezJttJn
"We were also working on writing our song back at the hotel," said Zoey, "we needed some motivation, so that's why we came to buy doughnuts."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMeKFT6f7S
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z8Dfs3PAB
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC0rcb2wVV
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqUkdgoR0A
"Kind of. But they really work on Sam here," Zoey pointed her thumb at me as I walked behind her. I rolled my eyes. That's so not true. Well..., maybe with chocolate.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEjTEu6AqM
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOdu9ECQhI
"Doughnuts aren't really my favourite, you know?" I said as I looked at Christine beside me. She quickly noticed my eyes and flushed a little.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDADMiIN7y
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmij0AwjTr
Zoey might like chocolate dip doughnuts, but Christine "loves" doughnuts. During our school days, she sometimes wouldn't take the school bus home just so she could buy doughnuts at the nearest store.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0sL9cZEBF
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDInJ6ykEBR
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXOuUasWod
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Dkldhex2S
We soon stopped by one of the doors down the hall and Yong-nam knocked with his free hand. For a second, no one answered.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAUlRDCPSu
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOHq3kPUsw
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp37rvUB9G
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvTG0e5rR5
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6sQM4Jhjn
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jwZUEmGRL
It took a few seconds till the door finally opened. Daehyun was the one behind it and his eyes weren't fixed on us as he seemed to be engaged in some conversation currently taking place in the room. But soon afterwards, his eyes focused on us that he did the unthinkable.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAechKEzm1
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYigxbkwHu
He screamed.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZbRCeFVAr
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQYC1Fne6F
The door shut quickly in our faces. Well, that's weird. Everyone of us in the hall, looked at each other with puzzled looks. Did Daehyun just do that? I could understand if he were a girl, but a guy....? I'm finding it a little hard to believe.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdfdXiYqh1
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDb7cahudW
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA87AhnnK5
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFSmvyO7Ki
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXCcL63Nil
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAikgZGsgTu
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBUt0NTINO
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotbkCHK0Mk
The door opened again and this time, it was Zelo. He gasped and I thought he might shut the door in front of us like Daehyun, but he didn't.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhikRkaMGT
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLNyfb9H53
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfz0IxwGuO
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhNhKs3V7h
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvenNAYWVQ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc07otRZDB
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPCyKpjFJV
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVBrect9nj
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDuo2bdBkC
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSTDa8Hu9p
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2UjEQguC0
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2nDECP8Lh
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXdsmRMPWG
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU1yLMDPwL
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73RHf9kdja
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6Za0UcIWk
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbJmhXH632
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH8R1awZX7
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojlyLkZRZ1
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHnKRwK7CM
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOxYAPk1YD
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsRhzOkut8
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj2arfHRoC
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ebUC3le9D
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6tFJVDfSe
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSh6TwdbGQ
As we entered the room, I noticed that the place looked busy. There was the recording room on the other side of the room and the sitting area looked a little messy with papers all around and Young-jae was picking up some of the mess.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSq9hoKosr
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXLZLKTHNP
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTfBOh1Vnv
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd57OCai75g
"Nonsense, you guys couldn't have come at a better time," said Young-jae as he threw away the crumpled papers in the waste bin located at the corner.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1pBlBUyVZ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXWY4pFsHy
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB3iCbkNoE
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNcojFvU6K
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ33L2sniQ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LbZZhPY1n
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjrI2lYxHA
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G1egnkXBJ
"Same here," said Zelo as he came to stand in between my two brothers. He's way taller than the both of them and I tried not to point it out.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVERBbgh9Bi
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUBLrFbZL8
"Please, sit down," said Daehyun as he came towards Christine and me, held each of our hands, and dragged us to one of the couches next to the one Zoey sat.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMUGi9Svwg
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVKakZ0iYt
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FLQPxJrJ3
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI98KR2GTc0
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroVesh8pZ7
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIDjayKISj
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClOa3n4adc
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXsqwcZg4M
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIrW3pJSUI
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4P5G9h7mt
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZRnFlormS
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZRlUTv1Jg
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGD70aZr82
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtN0xKGycE
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTyXcBcIF4
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0G2Wuo6Y5
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumC88NA2Td
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXDFfAtAfI
"I second to that," said Zoey.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnzUX0YmJw
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlP77ArdiG
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tLWQJcDuA
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7icVNxh3A
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sFW0SfNMi
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfZrEK8nJa
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUWL36ueHe
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl2Wvrl851
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBzJR9aYP5
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyZufVL0AO
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9TwOoFPcA
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYXTYp4CO2
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVfVXhu1CK
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkfA77ZISW
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyjuSHWrDY
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLhHLKhAo1
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JjpMdBd4i
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7D8M4oQUD
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDH2ZHOQnR
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvL4xK2aO5
"Yep," Young-jae answered.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8VkaQROMN
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zmXJmEOM1
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC9eTwtega
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddw0Wym1vN
"We've all been there," said Mike after swallowing his first bite, "it's hell when you can't seem to figure out the right lyrics."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9uoeWxyh4
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkXdXQgOdw
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SGPOT21IT
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5usnqQhEKH
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKTyidgikF
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDwZ8NlyMn
"We were actually supposed to do it as a group," said Daniel. He had just finished his first doughnut and stretched out his hand for another. "I mean, the whole BTW. But the others didn't show up."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvFOQ9p7Ip
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4NPF4LxbH
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU11pZ013p
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB12Dr8Uil
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM5BOpcWlx
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsIiq9snON
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8pBCu6Hby
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2J7m3yVD7
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL1zt0xakf
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUK5nhtAZ4
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDgXJE0EKa
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReZRfoKHRT
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvFE9Up3mS
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WhgOBxNCs
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgPv97ghIR
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ka5RzLDtK
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8Rk8fnP8y
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0wNd3g4jE
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OSyHl57pz
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRgwPzsaLf
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cqCtKNrLK
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN9viIOAU7
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlMSY5tbtm
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnNUwjpu9n
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE6vUOk3po
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFbDUb5OEW
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDNai0PCqk
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58oG2stGpg
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsKa3OjQj0
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTAYfsbSa7
That's right. We had agreed that we weren't going to stay here long. I also shouldn't forget about the other program. Maybe now was the perfect time to tell the other Toxins about it.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTMCORVpEk
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE2LKHGQNo
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3O0cqkYHL
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZHGw08UZ4
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilgUpSKNAu
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xw3SskiBb
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50cIvfR9I6
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg1scldwfP
I took another doughnut from the box, wondering how I'm going to break it to the others that we had plans tonight. But as soon as I straightened up to say something, Lee said:739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyDofvb7vU
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mQ1rHuY7h
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIWbrZG9iZ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTunaYxjnjM
I looked at her, and I am glad that no one noticed the look on my face. The others around me muttered happily to each other. I raised an eyebrow at Lee wondering what she's getting at.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2wSq95scu
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkApkWL537
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9XpnkP5TU
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMFLwOBqDA
"Yep," Lee replied with a smile on her face. "And if you manage to make a tremendous amount of progress by the evening, you might just receive a reward."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllpUunEwZQ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLBntbyh0Z
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sfeHb2ipx
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdih5ToIrN6
"What reward?" Christine asked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeehp1s9Ia
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U3pghgRgI
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoJyQNvLgb
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5M4MghIdu
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJjeAsClvP
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOeMDleJS2
Lee quickly swallowed. "One thing's certain, I'm neither your bodyguard nor your babysitter. Oh.., don't worry about Collins. I'll just tell him you preferred to work alongside B.A.P for now."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrx4AdS5OM
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlcqEIEdxt
I gave Lee a look and I knew why she's doing all this. We tire her out a lot, so this is her only chance to get us out of her radar at least for a few hours. Who knows, she might just find herself at a massage parlor, relaxing. She's taking advantage that she knows about tonight.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfOEscIkSZ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIDkAifLsS
"You shouldn't worry about them, Lee," said Yong-nam as he smiled at her. "If they cause any trouble, I'll be sure to handle them."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeDnZt3vxc
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzaBYgpZwN
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPxacMG0MY
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaUJloS3Lw
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8y4nbqbGN
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnspISnT3sX
"I believe you, Yong-nam," said Lee as she smiled back. "I doubt if they would give you any trouble, that's if they will be serious about receiving that reward."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh2Gtr9o3d
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y75flzcDv
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL77YVxmgXh
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C2fPhpGIR
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ONCWCiB0v
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BERCpqzV8
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX9ULQVwMA
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsXzDgXhIy
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabtKjhOjHY
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSs4UGHV6L
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI86r6BoXx
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2UM3a3Bf0
I sighed again. Maybe I should just ruin this for her by telling the others about tonight. But..., staying here and working on our song with B.A.P didn't seem like a bad idea. Who knows, we might get the lyrics we need and we also get to help B.A.P with theirs.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBU3m8taLF
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnQdH0l7iv
"We'll do our best," I said.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ331tvvGWms
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsDUNmLpTz
"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdt4CA03T8
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLjKna2yzS
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUWtjRjHLI
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqg4MDP8Ji
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU36BdoraI
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7LaOpGxLj
"We all did," said Daehyun.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKAT4AVkne
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFAW9zgYH8
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh13odKSDWc
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8iFh5NSwn
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2vxusamrk
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF0JCHMSlE
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQFYNZOzzL
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeO6GbNpEF
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhruAiOAqht
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8owXhaOXI
"Oh, you don't have to. But if you insist, then okay," she said and turned to look at the other Toxins. "Be on your best behaviour, guys."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJJ5Hmyky9
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmjDQKtYSP
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMBBWoW4su
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys13joZ8Bl
"I really hope so. Come on, Sam. See you next time, B.A.P." she waved at the B.A.P members and they also did the same.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHZT5wA267
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi4maAslqV
Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtRTkhIM5n
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAH7kHSKLV
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHXUFgGVFm
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG8uRZx9rf
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjpTYc8Zo4
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hlaHp1wqX
"No, you just did that because you wanted us out of your hairs for a while." I gave Lee the I-know-your-plan look.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKex35O2DoU
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS5MG7ARyU
"Wow, you really know me that well." She chuckled. "But you can't deny it; leaving you here to work with B.A.P may be just what you need to make progress on the song."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFJfoa8dIW
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt0QKPP759
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BFZ4yCqo7
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34M2pgshr4
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYKwYxKrsN
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNslhDyq8x
"Sometimes you need to motivate people by saying such things," she answered. "It might not seem like it, but you saw how excited they were."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ03DRjpQV2
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm285ETJrJ
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbGexNma1h
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAH5v7c8q7
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx3LIoZcr1
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaTlny9FUy
"You'll see. The others will work so hard, the song will turn out great," said Lee as the elevator doors slide open in front of us. "It's good since you guys already have the idea. It will be more perfected this time around."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkYdHMTOqu
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWvlKw4050
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDXhpMxPsP
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlnyCuWRm4
"You do that." Lee walked into the elevator and she pressed the button to the ground floor. She soon looked at me and gave me a thumbs up. "All the best."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RMHptK0vT
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouiPxJmvMg
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2o3Hi82mS
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9QNgbJpX2
I made my way back to the studio room and just before I reached the door, I took my phone out and sent Daesung a message. As soon as I was done, I put my phone away and entered the room.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6kYEGGTTt
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4h6P3c1gh
"Good, Sam is back," said Zoey.
Time stopped for a second. Just when Zoey said that, I knew something's up and I had to prepare for whatever it is.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREhULmeky6
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPcRkZDbeQ
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnDjjy2FCt
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OdMWTdXSG
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xqpbWNkQ6
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ1DrOc28a
Just as I thought. What a bummer.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD0NTqjATd
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kTfQ0330i
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq8N8cjCeu
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmFnEirW2v
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSBzYLLxBw
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwgAMJfbeo
"Too fast," I said as I slowly approached them. Everyone else seemed to be back to where they sat previously except for Yong-guk whom I found standing with pieces of paper in his hands.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf3AYSEUCW
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO7D1O57K9
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXRD004CI4
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB3MpRg9Xg
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGwDwiOj4S
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKJoHnS7y4
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxS1zJyR4y
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YqvFLU0tb
"These guys were about to start arguing," said Yong-nam as he stood up from the floor and came to stand next to me. "So, I had to calm them down."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdreawDBwo
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz9Z114xdP
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjL24qkMMf
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP711FmLHu
Mike scoffed with his arms folded. "Ya, you can say that," he said without a care in the world, yet I felt a hint of annoyance in his voice.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWpmHuaIyq
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyMOuLhb7O
As much as I wanted to know what Yong-nam might have done or said to them, we had to deal with the main issue at hand. Whose song are we working on first?739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU7uxL17Ms
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOJ5MRL6S8
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EGIZovGVh
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd27NSVaKT7
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4oZo62EA2
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxnlKiaMrp
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYQ7wv0V1Y
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReLQAe7vFm
I scratched my head as I began to think. Both groups here are struggling to come up with lyrics for their song, so which should be worked on first? If I suggested ours, as much as B.A.P have us as their guests since we bought ourselves here, didn't seem bad at all. But B.A.P had the idea to offer us help with our song first.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY8NEYkm7Y
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uR62hpRW3
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGOyZu5yae
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuR1iN37uV
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFdfdI0epJ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DpO7VTAoH
"The fact that they are the ones who thought of all of us helping each other, I don't see why they can't have their song worked on first," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZvAFOyPG6
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtYPoXptAc
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgftkERsCQ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGDKkUMr6j
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32U6KVGQQt
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5HubSzy8d
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWLCzHHXrq
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SF6xAYhG4
Mike and Christine didn't argue either. The rest of the B.A.P members smiled at me that I felt like looking away. Their smiles were suddenly making me blush for some reason.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHPA7gxBpX
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbKoPFA6nt
"Okay," said Yong-guk, everyone's eyes turned to him. "We can start working on the song right now, but before that we have to take note of time since the Toxins aren't going to stay the whole day."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrO4nYSKGl
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBalp3mz5C
"I agree," I said and Yong-nam beside me looked at the time on his watch.
"I'll be your time keeper," he said. "And this is close to 11:00 AM. The Toxins leave this place close to 4:30 PM. So each piece of work has at least two hours and thirty minutes."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRGbLF6hAV
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbsPi3vmfK
"Sounds good," said Himchan.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mUe2QzsYd
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2x1jLN4qB
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0sF9N7V54
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocDXGY1I8G
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx4UY1BhdD
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aiM3gWkRF
The whole room had a different atmosphere to it. I could tell everyone's excited and geared up. This would be a great experience for some of us. We, Toxins already worked with BigBang on our single. But now we get to work on two songs and with a different group too.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbyWr03tVS
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2os4FgHVY7
I turned to look at Yong-guk. His eyes found mine and he seemed to have read my mind as we both smiled at each other.
"Let's get to work," I said.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q9l2JG8M5
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWeU9zbnYU
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.
