We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHtUcfGJfh
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UMX9MRFNR
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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLGqwNocU2
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09zOxsXRv2
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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKvTTZP7W9
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0WkIfo9f2
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48Y7PfjIf1
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkS885Ykrr
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeGolZezok
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUaIKLLUob
"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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvL1uXBaSU
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpitRt6PgL
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCW3oiHs77
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNmEZFEVdY
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbG9mcL3XE
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgcq5GSj0w
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW72SvBQhxz
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN6yMJH2bk
"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."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXO0THfGxM
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrQIGP0TlY
"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?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpVfBjdgVt
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3XrVk5dRj
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?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScFGRYLlxR
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf3tEghXJ8
"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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzXhyI4Yvz
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQCnwfTn8R
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh3FkK2l82
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMnIdf1KAe
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlY3KI599I
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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1c4a2wCjc
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1UtU8TDCw
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6x9iqXQWK
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc9hAWYMz2
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjjbHBnrkh
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3gvvsHiQk
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y8udnyheZ
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI4573UT7T
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbez5HxvpFH
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJC0WjvwRW
"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."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOeJkKmS7f
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OjzhOTJkI
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl2j2b9nf5
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZZyJkWzdB
"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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZUch705Fs
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrq7gxAwUY
"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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnosBXiSksu
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4LTq9Ruya
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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznhJcaN3LK
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMiDh4BJCZ
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx2QMQdw8R
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjgaDW48Gx
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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UUKYZrZxW
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dVBO4DGsM
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksEmh5M7JB
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZCm3Tmq4a
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR2dWQ7XDO
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJVnzhH8Rw
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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFM3LkWfHp
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd90EHjpl7j
He screamed.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKewfoKnhZ
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabOfqY5bnw
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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmHO3pAAH5
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D74P1WYpI
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVEc3P7dzX
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjns5fLZX5E
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3ZRHYLtJX
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9Cfr2twYS
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgvtlF62I4
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡettykHNJaA
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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bTL8Ijq0c
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H43F4Is4d
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KcpoYIUiE
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRrar58c0C
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdw1iVwWJT
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7xW8KWJ0S
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQWbtCkSa3
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGvChF8h2V
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbCbLrE69N
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HajIc4ce5
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98aMnIB9ww
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGR2C3zzhz
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7wJhrMvPJ
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlYZYclsf1
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L0KOtvSmh
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7Yb8wUfau
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmHXrpMYgA
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgLNc0mmIw
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ7juYzTLW
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ28PFUzta
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngYs0849cG
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kAwChoaxq
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qbp8GWwHf
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jSE8jfoi8
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LWpzRCWUp
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXACihtFhnf
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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWKIwGj4vt
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9RWgi3lOS
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbfkAXxl2U
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAypzPgHJo
"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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCHRfkZEto
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6hlYpD0JW
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu4FiCLCCo
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvLweyyoGJ
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVDppuWJ5L
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRlJ5Aactk
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCtG0zDwNo
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNmpjuxOMm
"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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIJH17WgAH
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUQ5lOgtD4
"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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI7OMdMSmd
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U84su3I9p
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP19YanciX
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqtlsS0pEI
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv67PVOXxi
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0QOm0QRjH
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzixphufBnR
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX2mI4hmqf
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DuOuXQg1g
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYdneTbRlE
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsFdL6PrwM
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc7WXAJ6CI
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlbvJh2bLG
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk9YpH5Rei
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWhUvxKDY7
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhxnTx0dfM
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAvihrZz4H
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhPYYX7r74
"I second to that," said Zoey.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hoUYQW520
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw3qDL5ehp
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Nc1gF80L2
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGudyzjrXOX
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3rWi4LgTv
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqthmP3ZVgc
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjzORVtltg
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oFZnnaakT
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLxemhFFdH
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrVp75YZeV
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYqfb9msVv
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxfAZoB7Oe
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawFTkxRZ0P
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMQVus6H8w
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK00vhLlgw1
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS89OrCcpBB
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAldMEMLHTn
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0LuO5T6so
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGTklMkzHn
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36Cz7vumO2
"Yep," Young-jae answered.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMarh0ntKtd
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUXuqWHp16
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNODzoovbV
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSHvPnAG45
"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."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI3J5g3qj7
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLID8cncXLa
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFTWzNljQp
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPegKuZtnR
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYXK0tM9bD
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EcKiPzVWH
"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."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvlq9M8A9I
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm0r5I5toQ
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlhV53sNd8
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvjYNtxUXI
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV7RC1T11G
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1Tj6dF0Qk
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItPUpMmEwl
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZHfI2NZvk
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxglKQY6mbe
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkyopWnf2U
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquyTcgnaG1
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzwh9auzIy
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4nCfhhJYo
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErRWIQcz0X
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeWEq99KYz
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6NXcNApH4
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflzrMcJr9l
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjT0An5SlB
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAOUOZyPSv
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsZ88YY3jr
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPc9jS6Z2A
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDUO3JECZj
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50jEiPzLE2
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOdxq4Tm3t
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs2Y50DjM1
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaT386YWus
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVlDOxELXj
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafx8vA9GdN
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw4PJXjmQA
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSoF93XCpD
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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjZVD1w2ZH
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbNZ1StKEs
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNdzqxTkON
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KQW6LrL50
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7fCvCWnIG
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgFhgZDocM
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqx2gvGPEV
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iWoTbqKeD
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:755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ008wfCuRBl
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmOf7mMikx
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWR6sjUtPq
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSigFwYIX1
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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG446Wy8bws
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL4NR3Z5Y2
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRmqB9VE15
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxk8WnL1jd
"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."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewIJctsbpE
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFWlxiCemO
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzCydwiNDA
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdQgHIeCq5
"What reward?" Christine asked.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOnHdWWsvD
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2ddwj3WTZ
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlJKdBm3OO
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHwX8mqlNn
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eOXWbG17a
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1RtmMfHCW
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."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnCg65fQZC
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwxo2xBBrz
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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D5AISt3c7
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJus6aN89z0
"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."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuMuJh0fn1
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0vzScSzhH
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiggfANblG
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxUtZV7kL5
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBEqawxBSM
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oJsCIZqHP
"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."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGpW8FwBKn
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLFph4PlUM
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XnQMF6hNB
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeudCbg6E9Q
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcbrgC29XE
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrqxGDTt19
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaySMkFPjT
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80VKknxRS4
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4jKjZ22JK
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWAxVfgxie
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapXV8Tczyt
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5SkDfTTsY
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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19G2xNO37y
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEvK9hKuZo
"We'll do our best," I said.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGSqAlpll5
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYjbtfQb9p
"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixKbJjddjX
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ00p83PTDj
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW91kvOpj3J
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXumnUuboc
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMYm3ZWIrM
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd7rJ5jQys
"We all did," said Daehyun.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDpet8C3ND
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqxMRk9U92
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQgjf18ifE
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3syq65gksJ
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmAaBQCHFe
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91GGHFjRaJ
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCnnnC6nqw
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbfjHNE20p
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDYQJFRAnn
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl6A2PLaqK
"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."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpHAB5QHrP
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCatJzX87V6
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIzJ8AZnfE
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsSnPTBwO6
"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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrvxmrHgbe
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6Z6jBx1wH
Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EvSBGl0L2
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY0J9hzFka
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSrbQNH6Co
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXpgJz9DcZ
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8IK5VrYca
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh0kyCLgJf
"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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzypA3fgrpG
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu9ZMVRQhX
"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."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUpoj703Cz
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDbQaX4bIU
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0SZvCLeAH
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kt1g1c4XT
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J2GBKchZW
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaIwIncPd8
"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."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT34pvC8Du3
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2tQnnYrQf
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkZAMV9l8c
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1QsxJiCr0
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4N17X7gTC
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWEwzSie00
"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."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgP1vNuKmJ
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkWrIKIomP
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYImpYHgf9
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQuYmiSjg5
"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."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ571ZQkwP7I
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDVAcgXlgH
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9biodBN55J
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHgGiGb41S
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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkv762RgKI
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxOlsqI8dV
"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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCYv2aPHPc
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHtton2MFR
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RbRLp4sCD
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVCXbP9mt4
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1cG47ORkE
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5fOjm6EM4
Just as I thought. What a bummer.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnWPvW5wIA
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerhP8TRjGv
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuqvJ2ksBl
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTosQ8Axy17
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGvul0vkRg
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWTox5Nteo
"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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOM2fuiX6Z
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8azc6kjeAy
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTuBZUvyep
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg7REnb4YF
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpuM3CLUbe
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDPclUvB8C
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmNji8ACDC
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv1E4G7Kao
"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."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1COa9CdzIg
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7UTm5K37l
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vfx4qsZxE
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtm1buTt6D
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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX85PZLhOd7
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ9XwCkKpZ
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?755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPxn0jGxZx
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO11IogiTi1
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAUhZtp9Og
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFOSUmLnen
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjRUlpMGQ5
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcPpHXH3FI
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsHekE3RjQ
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JiLtnwOY3
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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFiZmqA75J
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPikNUsfv6z
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFEXVfgSlP
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGj3GmS6x4
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bDDakIifo
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcUUTJdeFX
"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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN80QrI8ld
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheQa2U6L39
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qvkdWfyab
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x28cVl185
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHozZYsOIi
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL7IRLKTQB
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MZt7g0M3B
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRBxtFTuxl
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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jn3AzJzdX
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRE6x8VjTn
"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."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMTDUp0aOc
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8bXuCQXyd
"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."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJjoSIOYPJ
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoeSZZq2bt
"Sounds good," said Himchan.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LIxAeJhgR
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILrOlz6IAH
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkGjdazPic
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0BOC86M1j
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGci2z2hi0u
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU5YwmPlqJ
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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFssm1OzJ9R
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv935ArCmGI
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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQKckFS8Fj
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLFlDWU2fC
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.
