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

"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

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.
