We arrived at TS Entertainment within a few minutes. I never imagined that it was so close to the doughnut shop.724Please respect copyright.PENANAIY7DC44VcY
724Please respect copyright.PENANAtZnXqr4nnB
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANALOwZyFXtsj
724Please respect copyright.PENANA3oAwwupsDF
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAeUYlJ4yfPp
724Please respect copyright.PENANAAm295PrSU9
"Thank you so much," said Lee. "We're really happy to be here."724Please respect copyright.PENANAupArFiKw6e
724Please respect copyright.PENANAoaNXkgSZxD
"If you need any help, we're here to assist," she said.724Please respect copyright.PENANAitMpWfckcy
724Please respect copyright.PENANAvebyeT45SJ
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANApVkbHaigPY
724Please respect copyright.PENANA6CQSqOg4zv
"Wait a minute, everyone," she said.724Please respect copyright.PENANA9xYPai4DTd
724Please respect copyright.PENANAcA4VbG04p3
"Huh, what is it?" Yong-nam asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAeEaFRMs5W6
724Please respect copyright.PENANAVAPkA027l0
"We aren't more than the maximum number of people for the elevator to hold, are we?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAVSh2iaQq4i
724Please respect copyright.PENANAt7ynI8Jabm
"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."724Please respect copyright.PENANAR29FWJSQjL
724Please respect copyright.PENANAkvGF3O2PDA
"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?"724Please respect copyright.PENANA6HOOiNVrDt
724Please respect copyright.PENANAWEQfgjOYwJ
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?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAk8IlhQ1oFo
724Please respect copyright.PENANAjDQPX2MIwx
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAd5F7SgJcdu
"Mmm," Lee looked up at the speaker atop the elevator roof. "It's not every elevator that you jump in that plays music."724Please respect copyright.PENANAadNOZ0NR5m
724Please respect copyright.PENANAsR2aG3088G
"I like it," said Daniel. "It feels kind of soothing."724Please respect copyright.PENANAnEcUumP4Cz
724Please respect copyright.PENANAv3bRZ2kw5C
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAKiJN0tuwNF
724Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ01i7YNxf
"I hope they are still around," said Yong-nam. "Sometimes they like to move around."724Please respect copyright.PENANAETIy5M7zZP
724Please respect copyright.PENANAOwQdr3KvoA
"Are they recording or something?" I asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAh1Cmv1gPNh
724Please respect copyright.PENANA1NzZVgHKNL
"Ya, something like that. But they were trying to work on lyrics for their song."724Please respect copyright.PENANA6Cg8BsfDHW
724Please respect copyright.PENANACQAixB682j
Looks like we weren't the only ones struggling with lyrics today.724Please respect copyright.PENANAncdwzEaMH7
724Please respect copyright.PENANA8P4aNKIRmv
"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."724Please respect copyright.PENANAd2ciuK1tj7
724Please respect copyright.PENANAI35MkNjzmi
"Sweet things also lift your spirits, huh?" Yong-nam asked as he smiled at Zoey.724Please respect copyright.PENANAQGuXf5NRgM
724Please respect copyright.PENANAHkRyqCd1Qz
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAlLut7eaPdo
724Please respect copyright.PENANADuOQAaVnpJ
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAbPEf9YePLO
724Please respect copyright.PENANAaY9Iofjfzy
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANA8pXekCeT3A
724Please respect copyright.PENANAwWxHGKOTh2
"I get what you mean," said Yong-nam.724Please respect copyright.PENANAGUjS9U0QHG
724Please respect copyright.PENANApRvoNZj7DB
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANASJeV0pct2N
724Please respect copyright.PENANAGg1Jj3vtBs
"Is anyone in there?" Daniel asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAPgywLZL0kO
724Please respect copyright.PENANAN9SNCphWid
"They should be," said Yong-nam as he knocked on the door again.724Please respect copyright.PENANA31aMypQkgv
724Please respect copyright.PENANAxXGESV204I
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAkfDuN5IfUc
724Please respect copyright.PENANAQOiAdM9LbR
He screamed.724Please respect copyright.PENANA5D4Q7a9uoL
724Please respect copyright.PENANAy8FztFfdem
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAlpmAtWbejm
724Please respect copyright.PENANAY9iztU4XCD
"What just happened?" Zoey asked as she looked wide-eyed at the door.724Please respect copyright.PENANAVnik2ImCF2
724Please respect copyright.PENANAHQlqrRph5s
"Daehyun, what's wrong with you?" came a voice inside. "Who's by the door?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAh42S0S0kO9
724Please respect copyright.PENANAN2BQnVuQtC
"Sorry, sorry, you won't believe who's here," said Daehyun, sounding shocked beyond belief.724Please respect copyright.PENANAFAawebDXVl
724Please respect copyright.PENANA3r8PU1moQf
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAjuLpeNY5Y3
724Please respect copyright.PENANAtyenjRwpOa
"OMG, it's you!" Zelo said with so much excitement. "Now I see why Daehyun screamed like a girl."724Please respect copyright.PENANAnibXP2bZdH
724Please respect copyright.PENANASXgh0vimeS
"Hey, I didn't scream like a girl," said Daehyun as he came to stand right next to him.724Please respect copyright.PENANAQzGpYxRd67
724Please respect copyright.PENANAJGq8fQOGqT
"What's going on here?" came Yong-guk's voice and we heard footsteps approaching the door.724Please respect copyright.PENANAyLwiRstqxP
724Please respect copyright.PENANAbQ8ow2K84G
"Hey, Yong-guk," greeted Zoey when he finally came into view.724Please respect copyright.PENANAd5jMAZ0DaF
724Please respect copyright.PENANAlm8ysjwQiK
"Zoey?" Yong-guk couldn't believe that we were all there standing by the door. "The whole lot of the Toxins are here."724Please respect copyright.PENANAkXE4uL506a
724Please respect copyright.PENANAFRZKuSxq6Y
"Including me," said Lee, as she gave an embarrassing smile.724Please respect copyright.PENANAdXkTfeHZ2j
724Please respect copyright.PENANAGoTZEj5jgS
"This is Lee," said Zoey. "She's our manager's assistant, but she's more like our friend."724Please respect copyright.PENANAkC3Hk5eWNT
724Please respect copyright.PENANADgtdjYHFky
"Where are your manners?" came Himchan as he joined the others. "Let them in."724Please respect copyright.PENANAfmX6d4Z8v3
724Please respect copyright.PENANAlXkRcyX72w
"Oh, ya, sorry, about that," said Daehyun as he, Yong-guk and Himchan moved away from the door. Zelo drew the door wide open.724Please respect copyright.PENANAxsONc8oFwG
724Please respect copyright.PENANAfQs3T4yFit
"Welcome to their humble abode," said Yong-nam as he stepped inside the room first.724Please respect copyright.PENANAJwpR2ixWl3
724Please respect copyright.PENANAsQoPTE104I
"Hey! Are you making fun of us?" Zelo asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAg8M9f4JRi8
724Please respect copyright.PENANAeqyRF31c8v
"Am I?" Yong-nam gave Zelo a smirk.724Please respect copyright.PENANAjtJSNh6YdE
724Please respect copyright.PENANAZCE9KAxVom
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAIuleTfrUeR
724Please respect copyright.PENANAN8MYyknOyD
"I hope we didn't come at a bad time," I said.724Please respect copyright.PENANARXe8ZYmF4x
724Please respect copyright.PENANAP2VbQpzehE
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANA8L9qr4iXna
724Please respect copyright.PENANAOg7QdKgKxM
"I guess you're right," said Zoey as she went over to the cream coloured comfy couches and making herself comfortable.724Please respect copyright.PENANAY1oVgHZu4e
724Please respect copyright.PENANAPdQUhjkU8s
"I'm glad you're all here," said Yong-guk. "We didn't get to meet Daniel and Mike last time."724Please respect copyright.PENANAUedBpZlnSE
724Please respect copyright.PENANAjJhsPC7JYw
"Ya, we weren't around back then," said Mike. "It's really nice meeting you all."724Please respect copyright.PENANA9GQjsBZOPs
724Please respect copyright.PENANAFOKPvxviC6
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANA77gSSrP5pS
724Please respect copyright.PENANAXC2NQimzmm
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAFlB8M9AbFt
724Please respect copyright.PENANA8NQtl6eRrx
Christine giggled as she sat and so did I. "You didn't have to drag us here," she said.724Please respect copyright.PENANAwbH31VTGZO
724Please respect copyright.PENANAMbwurBVs1y
"Hope you don't mind," said Lee, as she sat next to Zoey with the box on her laps, "we brought some more doughnuts."724Please respect copyright.PENANAn48cQWcOXT
724Please respect copyright.PENANAtWK49ZsD95
"Wow, really?" Himchan asked as he sat across from us. "I was wondering what you and Sam were carrying in there."724Please respect copyright.PENANAstiLT4wKiR
724Please respect copyright.PENANAxQT5uENBnI
"That's how we met, actually," said Yong-nam as he laid the box he was carrying on the table.724Please respect copyright.PENANA2lDehOKwJI
724Please respect copyright.PENANArhlqzvHa7e
"We mistook him for Yong-guk at the doughnut shop," said Christine.724Please respect copyright.PENANA45NrnS9RrL
724Please respect copyright.PENANAyuYQEdceX8
"People mix us up pretty easily," said Yong-guk as he smiled.724Please respect copyright.PENANAUqI26nMCnC
724Please respect copyright.PENANAofMUVf8Sg5
"Well, these things aren't going to eat themselves, are they?" Christine asked. "I say we dig in."724Please respect copyright.PENANAUXaNLUbGlP
724Please respect copyright.PENANAhQjujaQfbX
I gave Christine a look after placing the paper box on the table. It seems her craving for doughnuts hasn't disappeared after all.724Please respect copyright.PENANAcrZpCvtiLr
724Please respect copyright.PENANAkHCXC1bp1u
"I second to that," said Zoey.724Please respect copyright.PENANAnnydt8V4QK
724Please respect copyright.PENANAogp73zxF7T
"Ya, I'm in the mood for something sweet so badly," said Young-jae as he knelt near the table.724Please respect copyright.PENANAkAAG74ieez
724Please respect copyright.PENANAAVGahAtjPf
"Wait a minute," I said as I looked at the B.A.P members in the room. "Where's Jongup?"724Please respect copyright.PENANA6yx9cLdXc9
724Please respect copyright.PENANAXOTHFs3EAL
"I thought everyone had forgotten about me," came a voice from the recording booth.724Please respect copyright.PENANAdcZhsyEzfo
724Please respect copyright.PENANAbFqTt0Xy2f
Everyone's eyes turned towards the booth and out he came.724Please respect copyright.PENANAlGAHC0gF7L
724Please respect copyright.PENANA2qi0OUGcHO
"Hey," I greeted him. "I'm glad I realised you weren't here. We would have eaten all the doughnuts without you."724Please respect copyright.PENANAMLZRRGVhnw
724Please respect copyright.PENANAeT7vPNxmHQ
"I'm glad you noticed," he said. He blushed as he scratched the back of his head.724Please respect copyright.PENANAPAq5CV9kMj
724Please respect copyright.PENANAX1SunjkBW8
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's dig in," said Lee.724Please respect copyright.PENANA9rlCSO4YPc
724Please respect copyright.PENANAA2lhFHnbL5
Everyone else standing found themselves seated around the table and we started to chow down on the doughnuts.724Please respect copyright.PENANAXNRf1MGSKG
724Please respect copyright.PENANAeO0ZLO5UTu
"So, you guys are working on a song, huh?" Zoey asked. Her first doughnut as usual, a chocolate one.724Please respect copyright.PENANAs0YFgePjW9
724Please respect copyright.PENANArm1Oz0eaPz
"Yep," Young-jae answered.724Please respect copyright.PENANArk32NL3jkc
724Please respect copyright.PENANA9liZOp61dT
"And it's not going so well," said Yong-guk.724Please respect copyright.PENANAnuvZ8NEMM2
724Please respect copyright.PENANAOshJHDRR62
"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."724Please respect copyright.PENANA4RWoPvMSIL
724Please respect copyright.PENANALCDz0Di9ir
"We're going through the same too," said Christine.724Please respect copyright.PENANACiIURscROt
724Please respect copyright.PENANAbPo0qEiimB
"Mmm, really?" Zelo gleefully asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAFZKRhbTSZb
724Please respect copyright.PENANAb7widYktjh
"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."724Please respect copyright.PENANAvkee7LsNi0
724Please respect copyright.PENANAcMZqnHqlWP
"And we were left to write the song all on our own," I said, slowly eating my doughnut.724Please respect copyright.PENANADzhXAtDeHY
724Please respect copyright.PENANADHkgVwYBx4
"Looks like we're all in the same boat then," said Daehyun.724Please respect copyright.PENANAgUxDL5F1HY
724Please respect copyright.PENANAVLZkC7Px9x
"Totally," Christine and Zoey said at the same time.724Please respect copyright.PENANAdXxwKWvSdO
724Please respect copyright.PENANA5c0dWr76Po
"What song are you guys working on?" Mike asked the B.A.P members.724Please respect copyright.PENANATejG5RkT7G
724Please respect copyright.PENANAucBqm2Ej9f
"Oh, it's just one of those inspirational songs," Himchan answered. "And what of you?"724Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ii4Z64ncp
724Please respect copyright.PENANAHdHzc103mP
"A sad heartbreak song that's supposed to be sad but actually sounds fun," said Daniel.724Please respect copyright.PENANAWrWbDC6PZF
724Please respect copyright.PENANA3r5vpi5ohW
"Huh?" Jongup and Daehyun gave us confused looks.724Please respect copyright.PENANA3GQBAkkqzz
724Please respect copyright.PENANAfgBFeu0auY
"Ya, it sounds complicated but when you get to hear it you'll understand."724Please respect copyright.PENANAvGm8E2EvjT
724Please respect copyright.PENANAMi5hTu09Vq
"Mmmm, now I'm curious," said Young-jae. "Do you think we can hear it?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAxJWFFWTDls
724Please respect copyright.PENANAncVEVrY7jk
"Ahh...," I hesitated. I looked over at Lee who sat across and her eyes also found mine. "I guess so...."724Please respect copyright.PENANAD8tQmJ8GBn
724Please respect copyright.PENANAmskpNovpqu
"Great," said Yong-nam. "Maybe if they get to hear it, Yong-guk may help you out a little."724Please respect copyright.PENANAWzSrZBsNec
724Please respect copyright.PENANAeQwPAMWpWA
"I like the sound of that," said Mike. "We should also hear theirs and we might do the same."724Please respect copyright.PENANAU3gNA6n7Zc
724Please respect copyright.PENANAyqPy5NCZfm
"Ha, feels like a trade," said Jongup as he took a bite out of his doughnut.724Please respect copyright.PENANAqOUzSBnEYB
724Please respect copyright.PENANAB5Imh7Lmxu
"Are you sure you'll have enough time for that?" Lee asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAMNZ8nRvtFX
724Please respect copyright.PENANAgopDaXniyY
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANA8dL8iZ5Qt5
724Please respect copyright.PENANAJmUnwbFlHI
"Lee's right," I said. "I don't think we've the time."724Please respect copyright.PENANAZSBdEgpIn0
724Please respect copyright.PENANAJwEG20UJSt
"But can't we compromise and stay here the whole day?" Zoey suggested.724Please respect copyright.PENANA42I9naNzQc
724Please respect copyright.PENANALXdZYqqwDU
"That sounds like a good idea," said Daehyun. "It will be great if we all help each other out."724Please respect copyright.PENANAa0hHoi2NuJ
724Please respect copyright.PENANAwph3UyeVO2
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:724Please respect copyright.PENANAkC6k1EpLag
724Please respect copyright.PENANApgjBuQJWkc
"Well, now that I think about it, you guys staying here to help each other out doesn't seem like a bad idea."724Please respect copyright.PENANArveLlx2nLK
724Please respect copyright.PENANA9koVrJKMJd
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAxJvvBXU6k0
724Please respect copyright.PENANAO7Ab0WXp9M
"Oh, you think so, Lee?" Zoey asked full of excitement and stars in her eyes.724Please respect copyright.PENANAYUQhgcSn9m
724Please respect copyright.PENANAnDg67gCnU9
"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."724Please respect copyright.PENANAXxec8gQ1eX
724Please respect copyright.PENANAKBy6CiVK0W
"A reward?" Mike and Daniel asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANA7bfcB38hTQ
724Please respect copyright.PENANAtCJyX3G8zl
"What reward?" Christine asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANABbSviGuaXB
724Please respect copyright.PENANAkMliHV7Wk9
"I better not say, just be done before 4:30 PM," said Lee and she soon stuffed her mouth with a doughnut.724Please respect copyright.PENANAXisdhwOunu
724Please respect copyright.PENANAvcrrhyqUwi
"Aren't you supposed to be here with us?" I asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAcdVX3tdXh7
724Please respect copyright.PENANA3yvF9nmtSG
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."724Please respect copyright.PENANArr4aJFtsqM
724Please respect copyright.PENANALgRDOM6diC
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANA7LsY2d3qwR
724Please respect copyright.PENANAjFWcZE0jbM
"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."724Please respect copyright.PENANAws0itZZ1Ux
724Please respect copyright.PENANAZqBKjnpC3U
"Really? What are you going to do?" Daniel asked as he gave Yong-nam a grim look.724Please respect copyright.PENANAlvA4gY9XcD
724Please respect copyright.PENANAhEqq9uSCTy
Himchan and Jongup both shook their heads as Jongup said, "you don't want to know."724Please respect copyright.PENANANHUR37Z7zA
724Please respect copyright.PENANAk849JbYCSC
"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."724Please respect copyright.PENANAZox7A4qOol
724Please respect copyright.PENANAXPm0NE6tan
"I really wish you could just tell us," said Mike.724Please respect copyright.PENANA13ayl4I1Ek
724Please respect copyright.PENANAZjAE3soj3n
"I'll spoil everything for you. You just do your best and that won't be an issue."724Please respect copyright.PENANAFgKZoDN8RX
724Please respect copyright.PENANAqVzFWMVOF4
I sighed. Everyone's falling for this except me. Now I wish I didn't tell her about Daesung's invitation.724Please respect copyright.PENANA2BdJ7SZLfc
724Please respect copyright.PENANAgrROw4yyjw
"It's settled, then," said Yong-guk.724Please respect copyright.PENANApXchVL25gn
724Please respect copyright.PENANAc97m4HP4nN
"It's settled, indeed," said Lee as she gave us a wide grin.724Please respect copyright.PENANAa0C1BYB2Kz
724Please respect copyright.PENANAqaETtMkxOr
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAENS3c3EVT3
724Please respect copyright.PENANAZJkL68GUrB
"We'll do our best," I said.724Please respect copyright.PENANAfCNsHPlhF8
724Please respect copyright.PENANA9uLy9p1qU0
"Yes, I know you will," said Lee as she smiled at me.724Please respect copyright.PENANAhg7VSd7Lmc
724Please respect copyright.PENANA8QrLgfwWeH
We continued on our doughnut feast and as soon as we were done, Lee decided to leave.724Please respect copyright.PENANAGBoM2X0MF8
724Please respect copyright.PENANAKermkGfkbv
"Well, I sure had a delightful sweet course with you, B.A.P," said Lee as she stood up from her seat.724Please respect copyright.PENANA2Bq6JD4IHL
724Please respect copyright.PENANAssN518mMYr
"We all did," said Daehyun.724Please respect copyright.PENANAu0kqcl7CxQ
724Please respect copyright.PENANAbfnewGpglB
The rest of us also stood to see Lee off. She walked to the door and I followed her.724Please respect copyright.PENANAeajS6gZVVx
724Please respect copyright.PENANAqSCcMy04uY
"It's a pleasure meeting you, guys," said Lee as she turned to look at everyone else in the room.724Please respect copyright.PENANAHdhXOiRBiz
724Please respect copyright.PENANAvSa5Agsxki
"The pleasure is ours," said Himchan.724Please respect copyright.PENANAoiGh7lt7D9
724Please respect copyright.PENANAf3qP1ULxBo
"I'll escort you to the elevator," I told Lee.724Please respect copyright.PENANAxdSr4svbXz

"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."724Please respect copyright.PENANA8wZkBYOSHS
724Please respect copyright.PENANAP4C2Dp4vEY
"Of course, we will," said Christine. "You don't have to worry about us."724Please respect copyright.PENANA7qe4aO7ADb
724Please respect copyright.PENANA6BmVNzvRKK
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANASZulMuIVLr

Lee and I walked out of the room. When we were a few feet away from the door, I asked:724Please respect copyright.PENANAt144HbIaZj
724Please respect copyright.PENANAf5ZoSAlNyW
"Why didn't you just tell them about tonight's program?" I asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANA3aIDySbEwS
724Please respect copyright.PENANA3PozirXDkV
"Oh, I just did that for fun," said Lee.724Please respect copyright.PENANAavpjQKh3nY
724Please respect copyright.PENANAELwpHHwYQe
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAKNMCVw9lnV
724Please respect copyright.PENANAcNZMoEnO8p
"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."724Please respect copyright.PENANA1dFDJKEeY6
724Please respect copyright.PENANAr1XjR8m4sm
"I'm not denying it," we were nearing the elevator now. "Why didn't you just tell them about the invitation?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAzYq6MUnjkX
724Please respect copyright.PENANAghl3Quwirr
Lee didn't answer right away and we soon reached the elevator. She pressed the down button and turned to look at me.724Please respect copyright.PENANAGT2GhVPjX7
724Please respect copyright.PENANALBMJsf2fql
"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."724Please respect copyright.PENANABFwVjq7HyQ
724Please respect copyright.PENANAjyi4fZbaaI
I didn't want to admit it, but Lee's right. They did seem excited, as if they already knew what the reward is.724Please respect copyright.PENANAUwDAKA7Fdu
724Please respect copyright.PENANA6C7APou01k
"Ya, I get what you mean," I said.724Please respect copyright.PENANALQUzefF5SA
724Please respect copyright.PENANADkbl9nxlp6
"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."724Please respect copyright.PENANAxWFLk7ptis
724Please respect copyright.PENANAhFgN2wPyLp
"Ya, I guess so. I better tell Daesung that the program is on, then."724Please respect copyright.PENANADoX41qat2x
724Please respect copyright.PENANAR5AwSGUUwP
"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."724Please respect copyright.PENANASuLB5Rj1yB
724Please respect copyright.PENANAXgAkrmkrQB
"Thanks," I said as I smiled back and the doors closed shut in front of me.724Please respect copyright.PENANARU6w7LXmWC
724Please respect copyright.PENANAxIcCtefRLq
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANA4oZEbU1Ovs
724Please respect copyright.PENANAgLyQEeG8WQ
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAum54TaYa3i
724Please respect copyright.PENANAQowPOwv4xx
"What is it?" I asked as time went back to normal and I closed the door.724Please respect copyright.PENANAgezUjaWvQv
724Please respect copyright.PENANAZBUIYtUG6u
"We were debating on whose song we should work on first," Zoey answered.724Please respect copyright.PENANAWoakzFRR3M
724Please respect copyright.PENANAmGIEWzVPjU
Just as I thought. What a bummer.724Please respect copyright.PENANAPQzFJqfve3
724Please respect copyright.PENANAftdH9CpoP4
"You guys are discussing that?" I asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAHcE2jOlhif
724Please respect copyright.PENANAIElhfhWUtj
"I know, we're pretty fast, aren't we?" Zelo asked who was back to sitting on the floor.724Please respect copyright.PENANAPH60AGoeKu
724Please respect copyright.PENANAUbMOgkxIZv
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAB4rit5o75L
724Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7bx1M020h
I averted my eyes from him. "So, whose work are we working on first?" I asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAg7o5GIVYv0
724Please respect copyright.PENANAqqBcZJvYRK
"I suggested ours," said Zoey.724Please respect copyright.PENANAbDiuWPgZi1
724Please respect copyright.PENANAhE9aOsYY1W
"But we objected stating that it should be ours instead," said Jongup.724Please respect copyright.PENANAZSskPOGMPv
724Please respect copyright.PENANAbCHQwBx5JE
"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."724Please respect copyright.PENANAaf8HrwAnvI
724Please respect copyright.PENANAq9gwcVZpSz
The corner of my lips went up into a smile. "Looks like you handled them pretty well," I said.724Please respect copyright.PENANAo4QQcUIRkf
724Please respect copyright.PENANACco52lz9Gx
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAHS8i3M2pqf
724Please respect copyright.PENANA0qD21J8dHL
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?724Please respect copyright.PENANAIVy74i3cii
724Please respect copyright.PENANA2svTwZH9dj
"So, Sam," said Yong-guk, "which one is it going to be?"
"Wait, how come I get to decide?" I asked, sounding surprised.724Please respect copyright.PENANANKGtxPqnxr
724Please respect copyright.PENANAh3pNWPWvMo
"Because we know you'll make the right one," said Christine.724Please respect copyright.PENANAoIcWz6n0pL
724Please respect copyright.PENANAMmYIkPF1UH
I raised my eyebrow. I hate it when I'm the one who gets to decide.724Please respect copyright.PENANAvPg00EFAFS
724Please respect copyright.PENANAIqTHLnarYm
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANApv1GAt7mOJ
724Please respect copyright.PENANAHXr73LI9OA
"I've decided," I said as I dropped my hand from my head. "We'll work on B.A.P's song first."724Please respect copyright.PENANAbWvLmRFdEN
724Please respect copyright.PENANAtKs7gBNzbC
"Uuh?" Daniel and Zoey looked at me with shock in their eyes.724Please respect copyright.PENANAfPQknh6auS
724Please respect copyright.PENANAdZ46Cv165D
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAn3mNQji4WF
724Please respect copyright.PENANA6ODFMt4oes
"Very wise decision," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me.724Please respect copyright.PENANADqzzvcFo1i
724Please respect copyright.PENANAFNh0stAa43
"Huh..., that's why she's our leader," said Daniel. "She's brought out a reasonable explanation and I agree."724Please respect copyright.PENANA9GnlP4xwjU
724Please respect copyright.PENANALckSsG6eHg
"Ya, same here," said Zoey, admitting defeat with her eyes drawn upwards to the roof.724Please respect copyright.PENANACR43GyFNx9
724Please respect copyright.PENANAPk4nAHL2i4
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANA23VYqUnOab
724Please respect copyright.PENANACJ0vJddmjr
"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."724Please respect copyright.PENANADxVhHrrKvm
724Please respect copyright.PENANA1PxcZgI4bu
"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."724Please respect copyright.PENANAEhOmxrhDSx
724Please respect copyright.PENANAhtKDNxVcDy
"Sounds good," said Himchan.724Please respect copyright.PENANAVvZi6XYQTy
724Please respect copyright.PENANAUwegRaUydw
"Okay," said Daehyun as he rubbed his hands together in excitement, "things are about to get interesting."724Please respect copyright.PENANAa5btIZ9Zte
724Please respect copyright.PENANA3iyc2rQnPE
"They sure are," said Mike. This time he looked ready for anything.724Please respect copyright.PENANAVBv18SIlrX
724Please respect copyright.PENANAUXeiOS6Pra
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAQwluEEVQqO
724Please respect copyright.PENANAVLeC4Q7Mb3
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAAWOvBlmSRT
724Please respect copyright.PENANAqcYT6kEoOe
Those of us standing came to join the others round the table. And in no time, the work begun.
