We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxbsJv75zY
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdiTWIHYke
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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLMNe7uHtG
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFqdDI4Dkk
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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhIxkCcEFZ
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJQu0mrTRx
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEl5LvMkMt
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPXhe0xix7
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj13R2wbFM
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXhneB6Quk
"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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4BocNOQmS
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx8pzgMXkd
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqzCnpDizp
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6ZEDV145P
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VoUQZQdDd
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBj8aykgBs
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZfbxnA6bE
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZMcNiB820
"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."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKQ1KF5aO2
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l1o0pPCoD
"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?"694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4aVNPhTIf
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGmi8pFyK9
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?"694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknGDnA24NO
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujMexBGGPB
"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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb6fHptgw4
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjkcrbig9N
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx7FYtKRLk
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kgBjfrVyR
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHteLdTpnLM
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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuQ2I2823k
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ChgBDw5HH
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduWI3gJd5u
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMMrOQamBq
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xYsDKopFp
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYjoK6akpf
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj34oAkkXor
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBzh8Lj9Iv
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VHpmBGtXh
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfHknBJ784
"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."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk6L9A8qDK
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBPes3shCQ
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqz8hCjgWj
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEHNCYDUAt
"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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg04BZ6F9f
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlis9yJFzyN
"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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6IxLmAL4I
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzBETydlUe
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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkxRto6yc0
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qdfVelpuJ
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWGftxuzcy
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnclll5YEev
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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm83NcBOBQ
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkzVEYulby
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7avZMOLnr
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgn5tFbLbh
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJhP31dMDc
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwMIjoRDXu
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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LlHqHGGie
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q6IR1benE
He screamed.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbRBuH8gBp
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqlr8m3TXY
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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DjDMwyPlM
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwl6X5Zk3X
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQKg421oaU
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG3K1SCiGm
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBiFbXek5o
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIX9dhYf7N
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfx3m1UzUa
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUuiyPLWDo
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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFozbI171lO
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBKYcz50H9
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCM4yfMj19
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GdaSxKCyd
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jC0lJBwi0
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaH5MTVVYF
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3BKF4r3G9
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHZcKPtCgX
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1vGQoEuqV
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3C3q5dFBg
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgikxSGoMt
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhP0UmR4rr
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa2tEDLuaz
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLxfHW2fW7
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBCjDnk16W
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPkcFOQoYW
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNtVdXh7F0
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6MgEhwCB9
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzCcaA7Xpa
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysOjzmjlF1
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tfFyMDY17
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFAenFgazr
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4N9X2VO5r
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAipg0UKOs
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYn3wzUEPX
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR2fLTLGa3
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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXslAnwWFyq
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NV2IJJdos
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU12cu3pd9Z
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLQYMbKZt4
"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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lC6S2aLQz
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NY6tlMiy7
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDcfYSNN1e
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7VLTmC8xA
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nnBx6iYJe
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDoXNxf5dU
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNVfMPSXFL
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT4HZVDSHF
"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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9RnRFnjfY
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeH8r1flP5
"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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89lDOzPA2I
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERgq5xQdRv
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SUvDj4OlP
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUURCwjfZ1
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhzetZMLdc
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiclEQSiGUC
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEaQhVfsgn
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEughPKKcrU
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9iByV78Vw
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeAcxE7HNS
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ5XY9sI9P
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQD8E4m1F2
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG2KBvMTAn
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskKyoyuONB
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrxOcwe0Yr
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYDa0aOMvm
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx06RhsWRv
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56z2UQq8yU
"I second to that," said Zoey.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8pxGDsxdl
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSpESFSM26
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP9fMkbmXz
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCSiCPPaAq
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQJ3GU1DJ8
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH43MynrZId
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9IqtHvSca
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp2sBxXcPe
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4of4Ww3zJY
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqJnL9q59R
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNa1YyuYn3
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhELdLrsCY
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA70xt5YzVi
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29Wg5FZhGp
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wre50kdXm
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDiw2ykMOB
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF9ljRYMsB
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwsr0mguiL
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3apNBqaHA
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSplHmjzwsu
"Yep," Young-jae answered.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgugBqrLGD0
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7g8T1V0vf
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWAghwu9P9
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfd554Gn6a
"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."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKptSQZF9K
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmSYB6631v
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDDQS2AHqG
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0L1Hk0ZM6
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOsrvuP9vL
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEjPuB80Pu
"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."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZuAB29E7Y
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOnTYQxwFt
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfWz0vDE7e
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCRc1cEeXw
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25bAYA65RC
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3opH24RSp
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9trxW8cgm
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BJZ0PCViT
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpe8BTA44y
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4frYLxzUU
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpAKc9y1fx
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBBhsxqvsS
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihBXN8CL5B
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWrmAsMjfi
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2voWZyuY7
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eXE4wVFU4
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0Spff7ndj
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF4EbNZNM8
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIfwYVPhP9
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDXJkXDTE8
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0hieGXDEp
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTADLn5Joez
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnMnIQQpBK
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtS2c0UeB7
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrnnXawGic
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz23C5TSPv
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo8K86mzLm
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iz3L4jObh
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fX3ezvMmF
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwDEBwva4S
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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9P9Sj497i
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp7HQbHu79
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4Dkac3rVR
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaQ0vnjEkP
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvMcZXsyin
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC6VGJAoUs
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqAb0taF2a
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNqS9o6ecu
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:694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnUYy07BeM
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzr1nap2EK
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5KuhBjzBU
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9BlgTFkkX
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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGoI8miLGl
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYh5wljEgw
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRA42xqtZg
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qy6hQGgUy
"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."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQP6t8XW4h
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn5CRTf4Ew
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDwTnrfJ9F
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Aysdcdvf6
"What reward?" Christine asked.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nx8ptnGm1
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eZgrurw4P
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSGcDX0nSS
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhLVbUsvTy
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0I3dxiPzZ
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFUs8sp0MA
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."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RH61Nts8j
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEqi7vpZdq
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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZEpET5FYI
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TtZ6swL6E
"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."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHCdhGAsLW
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06DwRembRi
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkVwpww7Ky
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI2QpRNYrt
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooRLrUVc2B
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvdsBXrbW1
"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."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw6GjHlRBo
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgRQ8bWZh3
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s16Uiae3o
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC1pfN5mKe
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rqx5rUZBY
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTTA04brif
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRvy50PZ4W
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uwguNuMiN
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMApHnejoqB
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3oOmxZ9bi
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuftB96pP1b
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHHq3BJOpk
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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ2PFhpOWd
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO2surawVw
"We'll do our best," I said.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mcpzb2t1L
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3f4RDLbIo
"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5PrBQgW8W
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduclbNzyM3
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyPB1mGsEY
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLtjGBDxJC
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7x3WW4zdX
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi5lW6ShsK
"We all did," said Daehyun.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kxmMR0GRf
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTEyRvHPDZ
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbndVh3vwZ1
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUetxSUbpN
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu9WzTRodR
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheOPfMbMoD
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxdziuUFCK
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFp5W8IVmP
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt4pGvm9sU
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hPaYidOvc
"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."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRHqZRdZTe
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkx9PXNIIt
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXct1OjCMw
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrZkMSKkRu
"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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRYOoYaqJY
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNeHbdRA5E
Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzEHRnAKtS
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nhFGlitxF
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbUPHZHNie
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX75i32H2cz
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgLixn7CLK
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4pTqCCAmw
"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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLWDJOlIsf
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFie59BgIm
"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."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZyno5Kzpm
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c577LEF8P
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmqJYk9pz4
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVgycbMqdx
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WLRQNd1iT
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH846fYZvqT
"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."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkYyWibR0p
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqPdCzsSbw
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUYxr9oJE4
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii9LyRQxEn
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc0M8XbTDW
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cH8vgZBt3
"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."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmkOltUefP
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPl4xWBheg
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Uoqc2xqr
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHiGBaRhuL
"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."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgeF0bAvKk
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCpNix35SW
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjEry7egLT
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT08f5rvwq
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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB6Uh1lWwp
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS7Z3DBJAa
"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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyQKlddqfn
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB3P4sIUKI
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ551vby3Ehp
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyx3Cqo3GM
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK2gJyVTnS
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3g3zMYQpj
Just as I thought. What a bummer.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhf3FrOKHj
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FQRFk2C6w
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAMqqcMpXV
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbpnALPnO4
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr6UNJcihR
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGFDf0KEe1
"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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9ZPAGVm7z
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb25tTmbsX
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqpXWzR4Ii
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHKxQjYglt
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHwMcleR2M
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSEVxXhXwl
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLMVMw1MfL
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0EtGHmrQ8
"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."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ124TNQJ2UR
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb83ImF1Njl
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrJT8nqUqA
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP7h1s0EgS
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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuZp8p424M
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2zUa45dwX
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?694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld6Iwuyh9Z
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChndFZ0erm
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt2Al0kUx3
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcClsSc11V
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOspfRnZyJ
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7IH6QXHoN
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7jNy9w8QO
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5wsAeYTQ9
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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT81TRVTLOs
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9IvXTvmTL
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXjmRkS7uE
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCH9ETndNP
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEvkn0f0x4
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr87Fryop0d
"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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0Xeuhj1Jz
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgncNgVSjze
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AqNBaumA1
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzbA0kZJOu
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGFwPQZKSI
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9XEvmtLqB
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKLMxE3NHB
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g8Ukar8Up
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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMRcbmPL11
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjcESFj5dH
"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."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2apo6lve0
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndHP0dDuS5
"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."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLO2qkSPGN
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ9rl1JvVl
"Sounds good," said Himchan.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sb5kCFUV3
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNf5z0ZikQ
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EmQ3beU6n
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0QnO1MDu9
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9E6WxyPk4
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx454DwDgf
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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR09kSA7fBs
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kRY2eJ6e5
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.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH1rRtpBL1
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD1oKKqf5W
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.
