We had all gathered around the console with the producer, Yang Hyun-suk, Collins and Lee taking their seats while we stood around. The producer got the instrumental from Bang Yong-guk which he put in a flashdrive.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPXxzQy3Li

459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXo5qsTHOF
As much as I didn't feel nervous like I did before, I still found myself playing with my fingers that I hid behind me. I felt Yong-guk nudge me on the shoulder with his as he stood next to me. I turned to look at him. His smile told me to remain calm and that everything's going to be fine. I smile back, assuring him that I'm okay.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvNYc0ZEDW

459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNbsHasOkG
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMmGsrf1nv
We watched the producer insert the drive in the USB port of his laptop right next to the console.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPaVQ0KfpR
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9CKozqBUy
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ3HTmYkpU
I realise that the place is quiet, and I can feel the tension amongst ourselves. I looked at the other Toxins, and I can tell they're nervous. I wish I could tell them that all is well, but I would only be repeating what they said earlier. Let’s just see how all this goes.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO7dSb2NGb
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB15TjFlS3M
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXqDDQjQOG
Soon enough, the tune came flowing through the speaker after the producer hit the play button on his laptop, then came along the beat and other sound effects. I had my fingers crossed for the few seconds that passed. I just hope they like it.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcxRVjvx7j

"Wait a minute, pause," said Yang Hyun-Suk.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dWOf3MblJ
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCkgBdV9ds
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYil55CQcYY
I felt my heart jump to my throat. What could be the problem now?459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQNnWvuzwV
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds8VBdsQMn
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBJROAtEbQ
The producer did likewise and all our eyes turned to Yang Hyun-suk. I could sense nervous tension in the air as we all looked at him. Could there be something wrong? We only just started.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2RjGAMO7R
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbNtNHZpoF
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNl8wL27q9
There came a long pause as his eyes were fixed on the see-through glass of the recording booth. I can tell he’s thinking of something, but what could it be? Maybe, he doesn’t like the song. Could it be that bad? For him to stop it so soon, anyone could assume the worst.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqoUzteMCy
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CpFdtB4Kw
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyNIiyZjAK
"May I see the lyrics?" he asked as he turned around to look at us. His eyes fell specifically on me, though.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBC2c74u4g
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62KzJfSxvs
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVcrUTDEB8
"Of course," I said as I quickly rushed back to where we sat. I left my bag there with the paper with the lyrics in it. I picked the bag, looked inside and removed the folded paper. I make my way back.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNiGeoo4uC
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nMgmm652r
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYpOX4uguH
I give the paper to Yang Hyun-suk and he quickly unfolded it. I’m glad I wrote the lyrics on a clean sheet of paper, because the other had a lot of scribbles and cancellations. That’s just the life of a song-writer, I guess.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSXRGbSx0I
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNjCajTh1V
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaItfJ65so
He looked at the paper and now the nervous tension in the room got a whole lot worse. I saw him raise his eyebrow and I turned to look at Yong-guk. Surprisingly, he had a smirk on his face as he looked at me. How is he not scared right now?459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MZdnws8XE
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmWo5mQzCo
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMtbF5gn4L
Yang Hyun-suk turned around on the swivel chair, then turned back to look at us. This is it. His final judgement.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg2UuYN65b
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yVvDOKUBF
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb1FnjPvYb
"This is good," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Once we fuse the instrumental with these lyrics, it will be a great hit."459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpoHNKHy0I
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRC7AC5JEe
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnyRdyIJtq
I sighed in relief while the rest clapped and cheered a little, especially the ladies. I felt Yong-guk put his hand on my shoulder with a smile. He mouthed out an "I-told-you-so" and I couldn’t help but blush.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotQ2UUDasW

459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN3aNsh5im
"This is an excellent piece of work, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk as he handed the paper to Collins. "As much as it is a breakup song, the tune and the beat make it fun to sing to."459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEX5mhi2Kj
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnQnGDwqyL

"Okay, settle down, everyone," said Yang Hyun-suk as he stood up from his chair to address us. "Don’t get so excited. We need everyone’s cooperation to make this album a success."459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCffRStcYyo
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbexZSzlXCf

"Now, we would like to say something before we leave," said Collins. "We know that we don’t have enough time on our hands to make the album, but if we all cooperate, we won’t have any problems."459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvreOU6fS8U

"So, as we mentioned to you some time ago, you’ll be working with other lyricists and producers for the album, so we’ve to work effectively," said Yang Hyun-suk. "It will be tiring for you, but this song should be perfected today so as to make time to create others."459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquIFlllCDa
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN64J1cOK8a
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaauL9sWwWS
We all looked at each other. It won’t be the first time any of us has had to perfect a song or an album in a short period of time. Looks like us Toxins have to burn the oil before leaving.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIgzCTbBMo
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq7lXDlpWg

459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0RzmfQUj7
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOnJxCQNNx
"I know, this seems sudden, again, and we’re sorry about that," Yang Hyun-suk apologised. "We thought it would be nice to shoot a music video for the fans in order to promote the album. It will be stressful, but in the long run, it will be prove to be very effective."459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvWFRxKpW8
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmHxIZXmPN
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAyHI4QUzY
The thought of making a music video still didn’t sit well with me. We’ll be so stressed out from making the album that I don’t know if we’re ever going to manage making a music video. But just like Yang Hyun-suk said, it will be effective when it comes to promoting the album. I look around and the excitement we had earlier just dissipated like it wasn’t even there to begin with.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rb0biusZu

Yong-guk and I gave a nod of our heads. The two managers started to make their way out of the recording room wishing us the best. As soon as they left, there is silence amongst ourselves. A few seconds later, I went for the door and opened it to peek down both ends of the hall. They are gone. I closed the door and turned to address the others:459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ2CtDBRL0

A lot of people are expecting this BTW collaboration to happen, and we’ve to give them the best that we can offer. So can we please, settle down so that we can find a way to work around this?

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

Yong-guk went on ahead to explain that we will have to hear how the song will play out first before we start to give out parts to sing. Mike and I were with him when making the instrumental and we knew how the lyrics will flow, so we would do a test-run and see if everything will be alright. If need be, we all know there might be a change here and there with either the tune on some parts of the lyrics.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEEyIJovRB

I placed a hand on his shoulder assuring him that it’s all going to be okay.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhCuVY4db9

The two of us go in the booth to the centre of the room to the microphones and the headphones mounted, ready to be worn. We put the headphones on and Yong-guk instructed through the mic on the other side that they will first play the instrumental, then we can see how to fuse in the lyrics. The good part about working with Mike and Yong-guk yesterday, is that even when we were making the instrumental, we sort of tried to work with the lyrics we had. But anything can happen, so we’ve to be ready to make some changes.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HPx8uC6Q1

Mike and I gave him the thumbs up. The instrumental started to play and we listened intently. As soon as the instrumental was done, I could see the rest of BTW looking excited. Looks like they like the instrumental. Now the hard part begins. I found Mike looking at me.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0ZSCCNvXg

Mike and I looked at the paper I had placed on the stand before us. We talked a little and agreed on a few things that we already thought about yesterday. As soon as we were done, we gave the producer and Yong-guk a thumbs up. We're ready to go.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO2QCPlAYP

I see the producer hit the record button on the console and the music soon started to play. I began with a little harmony before I started to sing out the lyrics of the first verse. I had to sing the lyrics out a little faster due to the fast beat of the instrumental. Mike joined me afterwards.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXlGjuOAKO
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJnurCgr7H
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZx8mlGN1J
I didn’t think much about it as I continued to sing alongside Mike. And I later realised that this song is pretty fun to sing to. As we entered the chorus, I realised that Mike and I were actually snapping our fingers and moving from side to side to the tune. When we finished the chorus, the producer held us to a stop.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeCrxl0G7u

459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4dHok7vHg
I’m shocked. He looked so stoic I thought he would make us do a do-over. I can now see the rest of BTW smiling on happily like a team they were supporting had won a game.

"You guys are amazing!" came Zoey’s voice through the speaker. Mike and I turned to the window and saw her standing next to Yong-guk and speaking into the mic. She's really loud, that Mike had to remove his headphones and pretended that his ears had been pierced by her voice by sticking his index finger into one of them.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm23JbWBpEL

Just like that, we continued composing the song. And so far, it went on smoothly. On the second verse, we had to work around the rap parts first with Mike before we sang them out, but that also went on fine with a few changes. We finished composing the song, and Mike and I were able to go sing the song from A to Z perfectly.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoXaEJ0I9d

459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAI236o7q4
And we did just that. A lot of us will have parts to sing from the first verses, the bridges and the chorus. And those who rap mainly took the second verse, the third and last verses. Let’s not forget that there’s also going to be backup vocals.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt6EJ4Y8UL

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

I looked around and I can feel the uneasiness in the room. This isn’t good. Whatever Johnny has planned is ruining our chance of recording the song, if not the whole album. I would’ve called GD to see if the two of them are together, but I would only end up shouting at him.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSDkdncnSF

Mike and Mino did as they were told and Mino did likewise to lock the door behind him. He and Mike stood by the door. Everyone in the room is now silent. We could hear footsteps getting closer and closer. I’m counting two people. Could it be GD and Johnny?459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gW5kA9GIJ

459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH8Er8EiSC
There came a knock. With our torches on and pointed at the door, Mike gave a nod of his head that he’ll open it. We all held our breaths as Mike took hold of the door knob. I surely hope it’s not some kind of joke and we end up finding Johnny.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkIONjAiMX

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

I start to wonder how this place could be on lockdown just over Johnny. Did something else have happened that we aren’t aware of? We aren't even aware that we're on lockdown. It will be best to tell the others later so that we can focus on the song. Telling them now will make them panic.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEW5mTWzuy
