"Okay, so here are the lyrics for the song," I said after writing them down.570Please respect copyright.PENANATHpkvzCA0S
570Please respect copyright.PENANAr6cfiddFdo
Everyone's attention automatically turned to me. They all fell silent. I read out the lyrics first then sang them out.
"So, what do you think?" I asked, addressing the question towards BAP.570Please respect copyright.PENANAfLVXfVZRpf
570Please respect copyright.PENANAuQaKXi7vL8
"Just admit it," said Zoey, "the song is awesome."570Please respect copyright.PENANAzkYVmb0ROQ
570Please respect copyright.PENANAAh56w9bYmz
"Zoey." Christine gave her a look that told her to keep quiet. "Let the others take it in first."570Please respect copyright.PENANA2o6Vj6OtTh
570Please respect copyright.PENANA39ZHKcnGZF
"Zoey's right," said Daehyun. "The lyrics are great."570Please respect copyright.PENANAkBpyu1LdOy
570Please respect copyright.PENANA8Dpx8DnKjw
"I now get what Daniel said," said Zelo, "the song is meant to be sad, but it's fun to sing. You can hear it with the way Sam sang it out."570Please respect copyright.PENANAZSVNlnFmHC
570Please respect copyright.PENANArGUZZNZf45
"You should listen to the tune," said Mike. "You'll love it."570Please respect copyright.PENANAbx0SKvpLAF
570Please respect copyright.PENANAkBaTdhDFIy
"I bet that's why you went searching for the guitar," said Jongup as he looked at me.570Please respect copyright.PENANAuoOETJwygR
570Please respect copyright.PENANATONcbLt6Sc
"Play the guitar, Sam," Himchan insisted. "We're all dying to hear it. I bet Yong-guk can't wait any longer."570Please respect copyright.PENANAZfQK8DNyYv
570Please respect copyright.PENANAunf8npDGUy
"Huh?" Yong-guk looked at Himchan beside him, looking confused. "No, I'm not."570Please respect copyright.PENANAKH2KAnB8uY
570Please respect copyright.PENANAr4kCZvqRIz
"Of course you are," said Yong-nam as he gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "Don't forget, I'm your twin."570Please respect copyright.PENANAXKCtcp8pJC
570Please respect copyright.PENANAglHKLpunRC
"Okay," I said as I took the guitar that had been laying on the table the whole time. "Let me play it, then."570Please respect copyright.PENANA2eBDLb3l9a
570Please respect copyright.PENANAyhzCp2TcNX
I positioned the guitar properly before me with my crossed legs supporting it. Before I started to strum the strings, I took in a deep breath. I played out the tune first. Afterwards, I started to sing out the chorus. It wasn't long so it ended sooner than expected.570Please respect copyright.PENANARa8KmfdMTR
570Please respect copyright.PENANAc2gKf82Fdo
"Wow," said Young-jae, looking at me like he's just seen something's dazzled him. "The song's going to sound awesome."570Please respect copyright.PENANAiUPeqTh8Y8
570Please respect copyright.PENANASD3KjNiAyC
"Thanks," I said. "Oh, before I forget," I reached out for the pencil on the table and started to write something down. "We also worked on the first verse, but we couldn't finish it up yesterday. We were having a little trouble with the words so we want to see what you guys think."570Please respect copyright.PENANAom4jfnIQBx
570Please respect copyright.PENANAwrplEhamXx
"Alright," said Yong-guk, looking to see what I was writing on the paper. "Whatever it is, I bet we can handle it."570Please respect copyright.PENANAj1HJfMzwcg
570Please respect copyright.PENANAuGBArgEYfO
"Can't wait to see you try," said Christine. "But then again, if it's you two l'm not worried."570Please respect copyright.PENANAVImJCS2hW8
570Please respect copyright.PENANABpBBaeYyUI
"There you go again, Christine," I said after writing down the lyrics. "Okay, here we are." I laid down the pencil aside on the table.570Please respect copyright.PENANA0HMBzEURTy
570Please respect copyright.PENANAkY6vCCGVJ8
I felt Jongup lean closer so as to see what I had written. I leaned to the side a little, but his blond hair almost covered my face. I couldn't help but take a sniff. His hair smelt really nice. Well, this seems unusual. I tried to lean away further so as not to smell him.570Please respect copyright.PENANAKz8vH6HH0L
570Please respect copyright.PENANA9hJYs8mFio
"Come on, Jongup," Zelo complained. "You're distracting Sam. We all want to hear what she has written."570Please respect copyright.PENANAtrUWkzJ6To
570Please respect copyright.PENANA58ynZRT4R9
"I don't think that I'm distracting her," said Jongup as he looked at Zelo. "Right, Sam?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAh9xVNpzWfy
570Please respect copyright.PENANASj8NIjxqoQ
It's when he turned his head to look at me that I yelped and leaned back further than before, almost falling to the floor. Instead, I ended up leaning on Yong-nam.570Please respect copyright.PENANAMQgiP0wGnB
570Please respect copyright.PENANAxPkql54R46
Jongup looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. It's either he didn't know what he was about to do or he knew and was just playing dumb.570Please respect copyright.PENANA5hfb2zN2ZF
570Please respect copyright.PENANAMB1LGBlz9Z
"What's wrong, Sam?" he asked.570Please respect copyright.PENANAWNrX9aYLeK
570Please respect copyright.PENANAfKPoKGKk0U
I suddenly blushed. He really didn't know that he had almost planted a kiss on me. Anyway, it's best not to tell him. I hope the others hadn't noticed.570Please respect copyright.PENANAoptBYrY5aT
570Please respect copyright.PENANA7I9Any4bn9
"Goodness, Jongup," said Mike, "you almost kissed my sister."570Please respect copyright.PENANAHlWgM0TXqX
570Please respect copyright.PENANAyQSRqtWTw4
And it just had to be Mike. Goodness, me!570Please respect copyright.PENANAARpDEHedik
570Please respect copyright.PENANAXaYLEtZRLu
"Huh?" Jongup looked surprised. "I did?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAeXtMCdCaHQ
570Please respect copyright.PENANAHywULsStpE
"And you were this close," said Zoey indicating a tiny space with her index finger and thumb.570Please respect copyright.PENANAtelBXswqne
570Please respect copyright.PENANAwdWjo8N2nG
"Oh...," Jongup turned to look at me. I was still leaning onto Yong-nam's shoulder. "I'm so sorry, Sam. Maybe I shouldn't have leaned in too close."570Please respect copyright.PENANAin8zr5evSP
570Please respect copyright.PENANABSD0rhPBqX
"You see, I told you so," said Zelo.570Please respect copyright.PENANAhkGT9lWRAz
570Please respect copyright.PENANA3CgJqqAZuQ
"No, I'm okay," I said as I sat upright. "Sorry for leaning on you like that, Yong-nam. I hope I'm not too heavy."570Please respect copyright.PENANAoOW3LZnXla
570Please respect copyright.PENANAhach1XoSdG
Yong-nam cleared his throat. "Not at all," he answered. "You're actually pretty light."570Please respect copyright.PENANAUCHoZHMepU
570Please respect copyright.PENANAi8Nb7gjl7x
I nervously laughed, not sure whether he meant it or not.570Please respect copyright.PENANATpXajp1ins
570Please respect copyright.PENANACdZ6Tp0rLk
"Wow," said Zoey as she delightfully clapped her hands together. "First Sam avoids Jongup from kissing her and then she leans onto Yong-nam who prevents her from falling. So sweet."570Please respect copyright.PENANAJ726SRTTB2
570Please respect copyright.PENANAhwl6rcF749
"You're such a fantasist, Zoey," said Daniel as he shook his head.570Please respect copyright.PENANAtSsXilF91E
570Please respect copyright.PENANAW30S4P9WKe
"Don't mind her," I said. "Can we forget the kissing incident and focus on the song, please?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAbGQeR3LZ1D
570Please respect copyright.PENANANyIEVNMwRN
"Sure," said Mike. "That's if we can reset Zoey's brain or else she won't stop talking about it."570Please respect copyright.PENANA8NzOArlnUF
570Please respect copyright.PENANAHfV03UFQQQ
"Are you saying that I'm kookoo?" Zoey asked, looking at Mike.570Please respect copyright.PENANAk7QYd5wC6J
570Please respect copyright.PENANAfxtsFNwPcU
"You can argue later, you two," I said, giving them a look. "Let's try and focus."570Please respect copyright.PENANAyiD8ysruvu
570Please respect copyright.PENANA4YfL20qJ3i
I went back to looking at the paper in front of me and read out the lyrics for them. Just like we did with BAP's song, we started coming up with lyrics. But this time, it proved to be a lot difficult than we expected. Whatever we came up with didn't really fit with the song.570Please respect copyright.PENANAwhgFAoz6pc
570Please respect copyright.PENANA0u1lRTboJN
"Is it just me or something's just off?" Young-jae asked.570Please respect copyright.PENANA6AZHN675HG
570Please respect copyright.PENANANfiGxKLSHZ
"I think I feel what you mean," said Zoey as she scratched her head.570Please respect copyright.PENANAUFsecTcuxZ
570Please respect copyright.PENANAxIUpPQdaYV
"Huh? What's Zoey saying?" Himchan asked.570Please respect copyright.PENANAyqzZgW5sQS
570Please respect copyright.PENANAz1qb5aUXCd
"I told you we should've rewired her brain a little," said Mike as he turned to look at me. I shook my head. Zoey on the other hand, ignored him. That's so unlike her.570Please respect copyright.PENANAIiM5Zp1ILd
570Please respect copyright.PENANAAAEcPSPG7t
"I feel we aren't working like we did the first time," said Christine.570Please respect copyright.PENANAEPtRTcIIAb
570Please respect copyright.PENANAuJgVQ7dSme
"Ya, that's what I meant," said Zoey.570Please respect copyright.PENANAAtWNyUJhal
570Please respect copyright.PENANAmIuY4h7ttq
"We just aren't coming up with the right lyrics," said Yong-guk, "that's all."570Please respect copyright.PENANAZaiZMxVTqx
570Please respect copyright.PENANA1qMokDFi3J
"Why is that?" Himchan asked.570Please respect copyright.PENANAf2zTbjxQOn
570Please respect copyright.PENANApQsTNvuWWZ
"Who knows," said Daniel. "What do you think, Sam?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAy0wzI36Ct9
570Please respect copyright.PENANAhuv5nT4ziX
I shrugged my shoulders as I also couldn't figure out why we found it so difficult. I scratched the back of my head and pouted my lip a little.570Please respect copyright.PENANAQoLJ2Jbxwp
570Please respect copyright.PENANANHoGFRoQgR
"You look like you're about to cry, Sam," said Jongup.570Please respect copyright.PENANADKXjKN2bYV
570Please respect copyright.PENANAy41qRrLDHj
"Don't mind me," I said. "I'm frustrated that we're going nowhere."570Please respect copyright.PENANAuEBU6GsPM3
570Please respect copyright.PENANAWSSKd7GAHF
"Maybe we're all just tired," said Zelo.570Please respect copyright.PENANAx2VbFfOMCS
570Please respect copyright.PENANAhQO4OeDOFm
"I felt we rested enough," said Daehyun.570Please respect copyright.PENANAC3UlNhfWld
570Please respect copyright.PENANAc17zgmc4t7
"Or maybe we've been in the same place for too long," I suggested. "Sometimes the environment contributes greatly."570Please respect copyright.PENANAXju8D7EVvU
570Please respect copyright.PENANAzvqHC1rlBS
"Maybe," said Yong-guk.570Please respect copyright.PENANAsSToU6TJ1E
570Please respect copyright.PENANAIyMR56M5i0
"What do you think, Yong-nam?" Christine asked as she turned to look at him.570Please respect copyright.PENANAWzEl9QcCuJ
570Please respect copyright.PENANAqBWhKXxCFf
He raised his arms up to stretch. As soon as he put them down, he said, "I think we're all just tired. We exhausted ourselves working on BAP's piece and thought we would do the same with this one. If you ask me, we should just call it a day and continue tomorrow."570Please respect copyright.PENANA9LKxs0f5MX
570Please respect copyright.PENANA7sgeutwC4N
"Tomorrow?" Daniel looked shocked at the idea. "Won't that be a little too late for us?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAGGzkl4xxBl
570Please respect copyright.PENANAr9nTacKf6K
"You're right," I said as I slapped my forehead. "We've to meet the songwriters and composers for the album. We won't have enough time."570Please respect copyright.PENANAn4BafmNSQd
570Please respect copyright.PENANA2B0hMpSaFb
"Not forgetting that we should at least have something to present to Yang Hyun-suk," said Zoey.570Please respect copyright.PENANAmPyTFzR0Mo
570Please respect copyright.PENANAgHhatLgEqu
"I told Collins to buy me more time, but I doubt Yang Hyun-suk will even want to hear it. Goodness, just thinking about it feels overwhelming." I buried my face into my hands.570Please respect copyright.PENANA09au1xGBN4
570Please respect copyright.PENANAyhi8HZRRrM
"Now I wish we never had to make an album," said Zoey as she leaned back on the chair and sighed.570Please respect copyright.PENANAWqXQ88tc3j
570Please respect copyright.PENANAB64abfqP1h
"Wow, you guys are working on an album?" Jongup asked.570Please respect copyright.PENANAOcKhmYplAH
570Please respect copyright.PENANAVzRuZ9ijL4
"Yep," I answered as I lifted my face up from my hands. "Our managers are ambitious."570Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1UYVC1xoA
570Please respect copyright.PENANA9AU3nILL93
"At least we don't have to worry about the other songs," said Zoey.570Please respect copyright.PENANApobiEGDfOv
570Please respect copyright.PENANAUcT6OUzhVY
"But you heard what Collins said this morning, Zoey. This one has to be awesome. But the way we're so exhausted, I feel we aren't going anywhere."570Please respect copyright.PENANAw3gSjmYmWm
570Please respect copyright.PENANAAR3DVTqQpn
"I think we should take a little break," said Yong-nam.570Please respect copyright.PENANABxJ982vPDy
570Please respect copyright.PENANAmeyG4dCwVg
I went back first onto the floor with my eyes closed. I really did feel exhausted. Why did fatigue have to settle in like this?570Please respect copyright.PENANA3DytWvdOUK
570Please respect copyright.PENANAJFbiY2DTFb
"You're scaring me, Sam," I heard Yong-guk say.570Please respect copyright.PENANAYweugYeCQP
570Please respect copyright.PENANA5YtpXBGujq
"Oh, don't mind her," said Zoey. "She started this and finding a way to finish it is frustrating."570Please respect copyright.PENANAYV8b8yq3yc
570Please respect copyright.PENANAKBsRTctPNE
I smiled a little at what Zoey said. Starting something and not finishing it really is frustrating, especially if it involves something that you really love to do. And with time ticking by, Yang Hyun-suk and Collins will have no choice but to be disappointed tomorrow.570Please respect copyright.PENANA5cGuSbSJzD
570Please respect copyright.PENANAJKQY2uOqii
"Wait..., does this mean we won't have the reward Lee was talking about?" I heard Daniel ask.570Please respect copyright.PENANAGGixYWqLNM
570Please respect copyright.PENANA6PdaiS9mZs
I opened my eyes as I remembered Daesung's invitation. I really wish I could tell them the truth, but I held my tongue. Even if we leave this place without much progress, Lee won't hold us back because it isn't much of a reward, but an invitation to go out for an outdoor movie. I sat up.570Please respect copyright.PENANAYqrrDKmUEm
570Please respect copyright.PENANAkGh4iLoUhO
"Don't worry about that, Daniel," I said. "Lee will give us that reward."570Please respect copyright.PENANAml7JmgOF4n
570Please respect copyright.PENANAaxTGfYew0M
"For someone who seems tired, you sound pretty confident," said Himchan.570Please respect copyright.PENANAyPhy0OfbJH
570Please respect copyright.PENANAWvVVPZYz6P
"I just know." I smiled at him as I shrugged my shoulders.570Please respect copyright.PENANAKydFy8FfG4
570Please respect copyright.PENANAOeN2lALduw
"Do you've any idea what it could be?" Daniel asked.570Please respect copyright.PENANAlSgP5OiOFQ
570Please respect copyright.PENANAMQiiSa0ZkX
I shook my head. It's best it turns out as a surprise.570Please respect copyright.PENANAAn1Py8p6zQ
570Please respect copyright.PENANA6cDZnyEwG1
"So, what are we going to do now?" Zelo asked. "Just sit and do nothing?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAGzh8Z6Us7N
570Please respect copyright.PENANAko573M0IOj
"We can do something fun to pass the time," Christine suggested.570Please respect copyright.PENANAPNZAAZKbH1
570Please respect copyright.PENANAL34rdoHMYt
"Not me," I went back to lying down on the floor.570Please respect copyright.PENANAzawIxuAeaE
570Please respect copyright.PENANAC1whxfj7O1
No one said a word. I could feel a few eyes on me, while others, I'm guessing, gave each other looks.570Please respect copyright.PENANAfD00BOxQPn
570Please respect copyright.PENANANSkWTWEkCf
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "You're such a party pooper."570Please respect copyright.PENANAHzSSzC2SnH
570Please respect copyright.PENANAgtNpBK2uLD
"Haven't heard you call me that in a while," I said as I smiled at the ceiling.570Please respect copyright.PENANA1m3qLZlhpO
570Please respect copyright.PENANAi66TZe2X1A
"Get up, will you? This is no time to be lying down."570Please respect copyright.PENANA36RaF33x0z
570Please respect copyright.PENANA26Cp8VmJpX
"There's nothing wrong with lying down to rest, is there?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAFlB6p46e4C
570Please respect copyright.PENANA4XVaT8LfNH
"Goodness, me." Zoey sounded frustrated. She couldn't argue over that and she knew it.570Please respect copyright.PENANABun6Tlfwwe
570Please respect copyright.PENANA2evdI03Bu9
"Maybe we should call Lee to pick us up," Mike suggested.570Please respect copyright.PENANAdo8HpEeKrd
570Please respect copyright.PENANABROLEYjiuS
"Don't bother," I said as I closed my eyes. "With us not under her radar anymore she's probably doing something for herself right now."570Please respect copyright.PENANA6NTy0yRGih
570Please respect copyright.PENANAO3k02XOAh4
I heard Zelo and Daehyun chuckle while I heard Christine and Zoey mutter out in frustration.570Please respect copyright.PENANAUhe5iAiwGP
570Please respect copyright.PENANA0F8udyqk3M
"Looks like you're stuck here with us until Lee comes to pick you up," I heard Yong-guk say.570Please respect copyright.PENANA3iNg3mCsJF
570Please respect copyright.PENANAYhTs68DA2j
"But we can't sit here doing nothing," said Daniel. "Like Christine said, we better find something to do."570Please respect copyright.PENANAKBrOe8K9eV
570Please respect copyright.PENANAZJN7Kwf6A0
"You should be resting," I suggested, my eyes still closed.570Please respect copyright.PENANARwaCKTANxz
570Please respect copyright.PENANAz6LmC0qDMt
"Well, we don't want to," said Zoey. I imagined her folding her arms and looking at me like she would at Mike when he got her angry.570Please respect copyright.PENANAz49xYCrxHf
570Please respect copyright.PENANAyzgZsytDHH
I smiled. "Suit yourself."570Please respect copyright.PENANAgm0zYQ2OpW
570Please respect copyright.PENANAznfVi7Xkc0
"No one wants to do karaoke in the recording booth?" Jongup suggested.570Please respect copyright.PENANAg2W2WVPqHh
570Please respect copyright.PENANAokbocRZZSi
"I think we've done enough singing for one day," said Daehyun.570Please respect copyright.PENANAO6SZj3sJsn
570Please respect copyright.PENANAsLtqanf2z8
"I agree," said Zoey.570Please respect copyright.PENANAtNYA8ID1Dk
570Please respect copyright.PENANAdEEHLP4LlA
"If there's clearly nothing to do, then I think we should be resting like Sam's doing right now," said Yong-guk.570Please respect copyright.PENANA3oHC9n94XI
570Please respect copyright.PENANA7WNUJa1yFW
"I like your thinking," I said with my eyes closed. I raised my hand to give him a thumbs up.570Please respect copyright.PENANAnCD9wiOMYT
570Please respect copyright.PENANAPi7JDPSfTn
"You songwriters all think the same," I heard Christine mutter.570Please respect copyright.PENANAMIcxC7whYj
570Please respect copyright.PENANALEOujmu6xk
"I might not agree with all this," Mike started to say, "but I'm going through with Sam's idea. I'm just going to lean back on the couch a little."570Please respect copyright.PENANA2AOlSf0CsF
570Please respect copyright.PENANA8XUfHZxdAZ
"Huh? Not you too, Mike," said Zoey, sounding surprised.570Please respect copyright.PENANAatN9SjNOYt
570Please respect copyright.PENANAvvuC5drlgM
"Quit it, Zoey." I heard him move on the couch, obviously putting himself in a more comfortable position. "There's nothing to do. Why not relax for a bit?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAmdfJ0dWjwF
570Please respect copyright.PENANAENN0vanILm
"I shouldn't be surprised coming from you."570Please respect copyright.PENANAVDcZC9irKO
570Please respect copyright.PENANAE9Fbjg6LpW
"Ya, ya, ya, Zoey. I'm the bad guy here. Doesn't matter now, does it?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAFOic5maAya
570Please respect copyright.PENANAMuIKAg94Ry
"Well, if there's nothing for you guys to do at the moment, then I'm going to work on something," said Yong-guk.570Please respect copyright.PENANAfdd7VctI0A
570Please respect copyright.PENANAJDXHUHNNAy
"And what could that be?" Young-jae asked.570Please respect copyright.PENANAljmIvQALE3
570Please respect copyright.PENANAxhy5R8HDDf
"Our song, of course."570Please respect copyright.PENANARyVfHpb4L7
570Please respect copyright.PENANALwuYj3s1T9
"You go ahead and do that," I said.570Please respect copyright.PENANAxXgZdJDeUV
570Please respect copyright.PENANAkBuetZQIZF
There came an awkward pause and I opened one eye to look at him.570Please respect copyright.PENANAv3Czz7EM2v
570Please respect copyright.PENANAPZIVsEksZH
"You look surprised, Yong-guk," said Yong-nam. He took the words right out of my mouth.570Please respect copyright.PENANAGlCFM1MRYf
570Please respect copyright.PENANAzy69Xdu07G
"I thought that would get Sam up from the floor since she seems to really like helping out," said Yong-guk.570Please respect copyright.PENANAHabLXbb8BD
570Please respect copyright.PENANAQdKpRJKVgg
"I'm drained," I said as I closed my one eye and placed my open palm under my head. "As exciting as it sounds, I'll pass."570Please respect copyright.PENANAfeyKcDFEMY
570Please respect copyright.PENANA1TKJnN9BVZ
"Okay, then," said Yong-guk. "And you, Mike?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAtkGbXTJ3Qh
570Please respect copyright.PENANAerRDhKROF9
"I'll pass too," said Mike.570Please respect copyright.PENANANGIIc5aKMK
570Please respect copyright.PENANACZD6vZRJvz
"Okay. I'll be by the console. Any of you guys want to join me?"570Please respect copyright.PENANA3M0EiBlsm3
570Please respect copyright.PENANA6meyGbP4vi
"Well...," Zelo sounded hesitant and I heard a scratching sound across the table. I imagined he was scratching his head, wondering whether to go or not. "Me too," he finally said. "I don't feel like working on the song right now."570Please respect copyright.PENANAsmKrHAICLS
570Please respect copyright.PENANAK2tp4pQln3
"I'm going to relax over here too," said Young-jae.570Please respect copyright.PENANAZKFD8iiKam
570Please respect copyright.PENANAiOv5a1Ephx
"What's up with everyone?" Yong-guk asked, sounding surprised.570Please respect copyright.PENANA2sSB6Mz6d3
570Please respect copyright.PENANAhydIVKrYJD
"Like Yong-nam said, we're tired," I said as I sat up. "The best thing to do right now is relax."570Please respect copyright.PENANAF5EatcleZ8
570Please respect copyright.PENANAXNUixmaHzX
"Aren't you worried about not making progress on your song?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAaOCi6DS3HT
570Please respect copyright.PENANAQmnzvzcIgl
"I was about to ask the same question," said Zoey with a sulky look on her face. 570Please respect copyright.PENANA1iyrniwqmE
570Please respect copyright.PENANAvBdlJ8fhqE
I shrugged. "At first I was, but right now, I need to relax a little before my brain explodes. Don't let me stop you from working on your song."570Please respect copyright.PENANAs64CS1nr7Y
570Please respect copyright.PENANAiDYlaZgH7d
"Alright, then," said Yong-nam as he also slept on the floor. "Looks like I can also rest. Keeping your eyes on time can be tiring too."570Please respect copyright.PENANAqjwYlWce8I
570Please respect copyright.PENANAfP7GKwBHJT
"You of all people shouldn't even be sleeping," said Yong-guk.570Please respect copyright.PENANAXOJOkzZZJG
570Please respect copyright.PENANAbYJzz3QSaJ
I laughed. As much as I wanted to hear these two brothers argue, it ended there. I went back to sleeping on the floor.570Please respect copyright.PENANAUMpRxlktjc
570Please respect copyright.PENANAwThyWaTK9W
"I'm going to join the relaxing spree too," said Jongup, as he pulled out his phone from his pocket and slept on the floor beside me.570Please respect copyright.PENANAqe2l53QdEd
570Please respect copyright.PENANAZiIZntoawj
"Looks like the majority wins," said Himchan as he chuckled.570Please respect copyright.PENANAumMESQyYwx

Zoey mourned in frustration. Even I could tell she's tired. She had no choice but to give in.570Please respect copyright.PENANAxJDDb5DUTF
570Please respect copyright.PENANAC1PRrzd96w
"Oh, man!" Daniel muttered out loud.570Please respect copyright.PENANAwkK08742W4
570Please respect copyright.PENANAWUoacppmFn
I lifted my head from the floor to see what Daniel's doing. He had his phone out too and tapping at it. He's probably playing a game.570Please respect copyright.PENANAbohnUXkzOl
570Please respect copyright.PENANAkhUyfAbXZw
"Sorry, guys," he said. He quickly looked up from his phone when he noticed people's eyes on him. "Playing a game over here."570Please respect copyright.PENANASdmzB7EvNy
570Please respect copyright.PENANAVhkQdSsHYG
I shook my head at him as I put my head back on the floor. I looked beside me and saw Jongup on Instagram looking at cute cat videos. I turned the other side to see Yong-nam with his arm over his face, covering his eyes. He did seem just as tired as all of us. He did help come up with some lyrics, so no argument there.570Please respect copyright.PENANAUS9MoJ2G4Y
570Please respect copyright.PENANAu3xsvcGCJW
I heard Zoey sigh and that brought a smile across my face. "I give up," she said. "I haven't been on Twitter lately. Time to see what's going on in the world."570Please respect copyright.PENANA5B6nAgnHcj
570Please respect copyright.PENANAMLgTDYsOyn
"I think I'll have a little shut-eye," said Christine.570Please respect copyright.PENANA7o9sehA2wL
570Please respect copyright.PENANA13fyjMloce
Everyone seemed to be busy doing their own things now. I counted Jongup, Daniel, Young-jae and Zoey on their phones. Daehyun, Himchan and Zelo were engaged in a conversation. Even when Mike was resting on the couch, he seemed to be contributing whenever he can. Christine, Yong-nam and I were really the ones resting as we closed our eyes.570Please respect copyright.PENANA9RxLSOGsBu
570Please respect copyright.PENANAyX4Pdzn0go
I heard someone stand up and guessed it was Yong-guk. I could hear footsteps head towards the other side of the room where the recording booth and console were. He seemed serious with what he wanted to do. I continued to lay there on the floor, hoping that I don't fall asleep.570Please respect copyright.PENANAEJuz8yvht0
570Please respect copyright.PENANAJkYlNEFM7S
I found myself slowly imagining about the outdoor movie we were going to watch. Will it be an oldies movie? I would love to watch such. It just sets you in the mood when it has to.570Please respect copyright.PENANASTYDAkzD6M
570Please respect copyright.PENANAVp5cWcifJp
I heard Jongup chuckle to himself and I knew he's still on his cat videos. A thought crossed my mind. Here I am thinking of the outdoor movie when I should be thinking about the song. I don't feel like dwelling on it. Now is the time to relax, nothing more.570Please respect copyright.PENANAnwwb5a8vPb
570Please respect copyright.PENANAjK1dm8UX1s
"Hey, Sam?" I heard Jongup call me. "Are you asleep?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAQGRW2iJjgq
570Please respect copyright.PENANAKpG92SkJQm
"No," I answered. I drew my eyes open and looked at him. "What is it?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAENWVkLsYJI
570Please respect copyright.PENANAC5izmCZZgq
"Watch this," he said as he scooted closer that our heads nearly touched. He held his phone up for the two of us to see. We watched a cute cat video where a little white and brown kitten was chasing a movable toy mouse on the floor. It was cute and yet funny at the same time as the kitten tried so many times to capture it. Jongup and I laughed.570Please respect copyright.PENANAu8RQMnFYu9
570Please respect copyright.PENANAU1lwM6aG0f
"Oh, my," I said as I wiped away the tears in my eyes. "The little kitten really struggled. But you've to admit, it's so cute."570Please respect copyright.PENANAYinaq7Kcye
570Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0MFx6eYUo
"I know," said Jongup. "You should see this previous one. It will knock your socks off."570Please respect copyright.PENANAw6oiQbFWjg
570Please respect copyright.PENANAPG3KRZTgnJ
I joined Jongup in watching more cat videos. We soon moved on to watch people participate in various dance challenges.570Please respect copyright.PENANAZsoxv8mFjT
570Please respect copyright.PENANAlhIFT8hk9K
"We should've a dance challenge one day," I said to Jongup as we watched.570Please respect copyright.PENANA4oY36fLpNx
570Please respect copyright.PENANAU5BoRJaVPA
"Huh?" he turned to look at me. "We should've a dance challenge?"570Please respect copyright.PENANA4wlpXHPA7R
570Please respect copyright.PENANA4vYeY55yva
"Ya. I mean The Toxins vs BAP."570Please respect copyright.PENANAegRPg0vxmE
570Please respect copyright.PENANAtIEAKLw2EO
"Oh..., like the one you had with Monsta X?"570Please respect copyright.PENANA1svMPS8YJE
570Please respect copyright.PENANAT65Fyn0wGN
"Yes, like that one. You watched it?"570Please respect copyright.PENANACka4zN0R74
570Please respect copyright.PENANAVsV2ERgj8a
"I think a lot of us did. People really liked it."570Please respect copyright.PENANAacRnsSstkO
570Please respect copyright.PENANAYXXe5zSUrY
"Too bad we lost. But it was fun. We should've one one of these days. That's if we could even make the time for it."570Please respect copyright.PENANA0qTbPpAWtO
570Please respect copyright.PENANAy1qKYxVzwt
"Oh, you've an album to work on."570Please respect copyright.PENANA2xN17XmBR4
570Please respect copyright.PENANAdLklBqSG8B
I stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Just thinking about it drains me." I went back to looking at his phone.570Please respect copyright.PENANAPFOw8Vykp8
570Please respect copyright.PENANA2CRpsRzjCW
"Did I hear someone talk about having a dance challenge with BAP?" Zoey asked.570Please respect copyright.PENANAkdhtTbIGPQ
570Please respect copyright.PENANAY7qTBoHXYC
I raised my head a little and saw Zoey still on her phone.570Please respect copyright.PENANAgIeeh1V8re
570Please respect copyright.PENANAuM1fanmLC5
"Yes, I said that," I said as I dropped my head and stared at Jongup's phone.570Please respect copyright.PENANAohg0TV6osz
570Please respect copyright.PENANAsNy8NW73C3
"Why not do so now?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAPeefwf0o3p
570Please respect copyright.PENANAz7M3w8wIZm
"No!" Christine, Mike and I said out loud at the same time.570Please respect copyright.PENANAo4ZvarargZ
570Please respect copyright.PENANAWj5KGH5DrE
"Eish, guys. It's why I asked. You don't have to eat me alive."570Please respect copyright.PENANAE2oxiSaw0X
570Please respect copyright.PENANACSR9y52r0c
Himchan and the other BAP members around the table started to chuckle.570Please respect copyright.PENANAEa6qY3ISpo
570Please respect copyright.PENANA9SvqXY0cKS
"You Toxins really are something," said Himchan. "You do know that the majority of you opposed, right?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAKrSfA0K0mr
570Please respect copyright.PENANAOmVJr5JwXK
"Except Daniel," said Zelo.570Please respect copyright.PENANAG2RoiC9MAw
570Please respect copyright.PENANAtfuqtHcnsZ
"Oh, I refuse too," said Daniel, still on his phone.570Please respect copyright.PENANASEnng0spX3
570Please respect copyright.PENANALgqa7PAXYR
Zoey tsked. "You guys are no fun."570Please respect copyright.PENANAyIUREnqo1l
570Please respect copyright.PENANAz5nk7gQYlC
"Use logic, Zoey," said Christine. "We're all tired and don't have the energy for a dance challenge."570Please respect copyright.PENANACLajm8Xwah
570Please respect copyright.PENANA4Bzs29p65q
"I know that. I thought maybe someone's in the mood for it."570Please respect copyright.PENANA7ByDZLqKaY
570Please respect copyright.PENANAushyYSgVLa
"No one is in the mood for it," said Mike.570Please respect copyright.PENANA9KpBmCtHSm
570Please respect copyright.PENANAVUGvBPC9Gd
"And what if the BAP members were?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAlX3SnNjuGQ
570Please respect copyright.PENANAP0oBOPat4x
I heard Daehyun nervously chuckle. "To be honest, Zoey," he said, "I'm definitely not in the mood."570Please respect copyright.PENANAp8mVjSICTM
570Please respect copyright.PENANAqz9nvUlrcT
"Me too," said Young-jae.570Please respect copyright.PENANAr6aFrzif0p
570Please respect copyright.PENANAfA1Z6TFPP9
"Me three," said Zelo.570Please respect copyright.PENANAWddSf7HINF
570Please respect copyright.PENANAClPCIMBjcg
"Guess I don't have to ask you, Himchan," said Zoey, sounding unimpressed.570Please respect copyright.PENANANlFveUavMl
570Please respect copyright.PENANAq6UtcgyiyL
Himchan, just like Daehyun, nervously chuckled too.570Please respect copyright.PENANA4knkmKcFSu
570Please respect copyright.PENANAjkNtPP6Sv5
"You can ask Yong-guk," Zelo suggested.570Please respect copyright.PENANAz5QjnLMLI1
570Please respect copyright.PENANAkHEnCxAzJ2
"Nah. He's already busy and I don't like to be a bother."570Please respect copyright.PENANAb3VeBrMoeb
570Please respect copyright.PENANA5kuCtsD7y3
"Really?" Mike asked. Uh-oh. I smell an argument brewing. "You bother a lot of us everyday."570Please respect copyright.PENANAc8cFpyiLME
570Please respect copyright.PENANARADn7sw6G9
"What did you say!?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAREVrkwd7XS
570Please respect copyright.PENANAwd74fUxutP
"Quiet down, Zoey," said Christine. "You're disturbing Yong-nam. He's probably asleep."570Please respect copyright.PENANAAZT1EmjB0x
570Please respect copyright.PENANAwI732cR3G5
I turned to look at Yong-nam beside me and saw him move his arm above his eyes. He had one eye open. He turned his eye to look at me. I almost yelped. I felt embarrassed that he had caught me looking at him. The corner of his lips raised to a smile. He closed his eye and moved his arm back to cover his eyes. That was it.570Please respect copyright.PENANAQmYbRPFpUd
570Please respect copyright.PENANApD4hlkMRtA
"I bet he isn't," said Zoey. "Is he, Sam?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAOOefm7YxFb
570Please respect copyright.PENANAoJP9e7pk50
"Huh?" I got a little caught off guard as I didn't answer Zoey's question.570Please respect copyright.PENANAgAIqHYbviW
570Please respect copyright.PENANA6mZt9W64Mp
"Is he awake?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAw2LbHlZor6
570Please respect copyright.PENANAzG0yyzD2uW
"Not sure," I answered. "He would've said something if he was."570Please respect copyright.PENANAmvk1UbyNiw
570Please respect copyright.PENANALZq3CdbmrQ
I looked at him and noticed a wide smile on his face. Okay...., didn't know what to make of it, so I quickly turned my attention back to Jongup's phone.570Please respect copyright.PENANAVzfT1wvNXY
570Please respect copyright.PENANAXj9HPpTKR4
"Anyway, where was I?" Zoey asked as she paused to think a bit. I noticed that no one's willing to remind her. It's best not to.570Please respect copyright.PENANA1qMGX3R5iR
570Please respect copyright.PENANAb10FDUFT6I
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "It's what you said, Mike. How am I a bother to you?"570Please respect copyright.PENANARfdfU9GjzX
570Please respect copyright.PENANA53zWUd0t8c
"You're being a bother right now. I'm trying to rest and you're disturbing me."570Please respect copyright.PENANAcGJ7v1sYoh
570Please respect copyright.PENANAos5lrCXvMU
Zoey hissed that I thought a snake had magically appeared in the room. If she was one, no doubt she would attack Mike first.570Please respect copyright.PENANAAgMxmtkWD0
570Please respect copyright.PENANAJWDjmPXkuf
"Enough," said Christine. "No one wants to see or hear you two fight."570Please respect copyright.PENANAzaww25dti0
570Please respect copyright.PENANAVYfrchzhDw
"Mike started it," said Zoey.570Please respect copyright.PENANAQijv23Fxw1
570Please respect copyright.PENANAi3BR8Ri8qk
"You amplified it," said Mike. "You always do."570Please respect copyright.PENANA4CyGlbkQ8J
570Please respect copyright.PENANAW4SgRGRhjd
"For once I agree with Mike," I said. "Let it go, Zoey."570Please respect copyright.PENANAfCmqbI8gT3
570Please respect copyright.PENANAQb18G1L4VC
"You guys are unbelievable," said Zoey.570Please respect copyright.PENANAKcS3OB32M2
570Please respect copyright.PENANATKydq3syEp
"You're unbelievable," said Himchan as he chuckled. "You really are a drama queen. No offense."570Please respect copyright.PENANAB3psG9HOF4
570Please respect copyright.PENANAwAvR2j2sax
"None taken. These guys call me that all the time."570Please respect copyright.PENANAWDASMZlb8y
570Please respect copyright.PENANAyDsk3PXLkq
After a while, all of us settled back to what we were doing. I was still watching videos with Jongup when I suddenly sat up from the floor. If I continued lying there, I would probably have a backache.570Please respect copyright.PENANA2kyAANv6tC
570Please respect copyright.PENANA7CoDEgRgah
I stretched out my arms and stood up, stretching my whole body.570Please respect copyright.PENANAA0z84AjXVr
570Please respect copyright.PENANAlBI9T052uT
"I've had enough of watching Instagram videos," I told Jongup.570Please respect copyright.PENANAtWujtwQjKF
570Please respect copyright.PENANAPDcWJvMhmC
He gave me a smile and went back to looking at his phone. I turned to look at everyone and almost all of them were either quietly resting or on their phones.570Please respect copyright.PENANATyL9Hh9q0M
570Please respect copyright.PENANAyDzG4KOuPO
I looked over at Yong-guk who was still seated at the console. I decided to go over and see how he's progressing with the song.570Please respect copyright.PENANAFmBseLDyfn
570Please respect copyright.PENANAM6Dos9SwPn
"Hey, there," I said to him when I got behind him. I bent over to look at him from the side of his face.570Please respect copyright.PENANAFHeBwT9lMo
570Please respect copyright.PENANAkH8XTEEupX
"Oh, Sam," he looked up at me, surprised. "I didn't hear you coming."570Please respect copyright.PENANAAniakzoYMR
570Please respect copyright.PENANAltOTlFTzYO
"I've cat feet," I said as I took the empty seat next to him.570Please respect copyright.PENANAdLm3V7XLmu
570Please respect copyright.PENANA4lu2TXeULv
"Cat feet?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAdirjWCDKGh
570Please respect copyright.PENANAvG1DdXZVKt
"I'm told there are times when people don't hear me coming so they say I've cat feet. I sometimes scare them."570Please respect copyright.PENANASlBXGWyEDj
570Please respect copyright.PENANAyA8O3eJIPn
"Oh, I see."570Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5cSWX54ZH
570Please respect copyright.PENANA8DgstWT1X0
"It's true, Yong-guk," Zoey said behind us. "So don't upset her or else she might come to your room and murder you."570Please respect copyright.PENANAcCF8LiEQSI
570Please respect copyright.PENANAQr2BuyCmyx
"I'll keep that in mind," said Yong-guk as he turned to smile at her.570Please respect copyright.PENANA404irKMPPL
570Please respect copyright.PENANAXVtTckbtkH
"Don't listen to her," I said as I turned to look at the console in front of me. "So, what are you really working on? I thought we were done and dusted with your song."570Please respect copyright.PENANAXtqS9Iq2bY
570Please respect copyright.PENANAkXGA5sk2Cx
"I'm not working on our song," said Yong-guk as he went to work on the laptop.570Please respect copyright.PENANAioRhqjbpv6
570Please respect copyright.PENANAxRTh0q97tM
"Then, what are you working on?" I raised my eyebrow at him.570Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5ZxbixR9u
570Please respect copyright.PENANAx52HURiawC
"On your song," he answered.570Please respect copyright.PENANA2Vdm7tS0CX
570Please respect copyright.PENANA2BVw0FSntf
"Huh?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAAvvOoNdmSL
570Please respect copyright.PENANAwe43lZ6yFS
"The tune you played earlier gave me a little inspiration to somehow come up with an instrumental. It's still not finished since I just started."570Please respect copyright.PENANAyveE8LyXHr
570Please respect copyright.PENANAoSUY7SZVs5
"Wow." I'm surprised. I didn't think Yong-guk would go this far. I didn't even know what to say.570Please respect copyright.PENANAQw5YkBQrfK
570Please respect copyright.PENANAW9HDSOM13G
"Hey, are you okay, Sam?" Yong-guk asked.570Please respect copyright.PENANArHipEKQEhu
570Please respect copyright.PENANAEvRkL2As4h
I quickly turned to look at him. "Huh?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAtc8OY39By1
570Please respect copyright.PENANAdVxNrRlDjE
"You spaced out for a bit. Is it a bad idea that I'm working on the instrumental? I know there will probably be someone working on it, but I thought I could do something, you know?"570Please respect copyright.PENANA37IfzU1Ba7
570Please respect copyright.PENANAveTosLEzlU
I smiled at him. He really means it. There aren't many people in the world who are so thoughtful.570Please respect copyright.PENANAGwPgKYeYvR
570Please respect copyright.PENANApd2V7u4ZAS
"I know what you mean. And no. I think there's no better person to work on it than you, Yong-guk."570Please respect copyright.PENANAbwxaHYcJhw
570Please respect copyright.PENANAT5SwFp5cQ4
"Really?" He looked a little surprised with what I said.570Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8qT7Mpnwr
570Please respect copyright.PENANAIjucHvmoOp
"Of course! Who would've thought we would've you helping us? It's actually really nice of you."570Please respect copyright.PENANADBhjNdEsHr
570Please respect copyright.PENANANJ9EKTVllu
I noticed his cheeks start to redden a little and he quickly turned away. I continued to smile. I had this overwhelming feeling like I could hug him, but now isn't the time.570Please respect copyright.PENANAgEunkTuiZ3
570Please respect copyright.PENANAHoA4Ak9Gbf
"May I hear what you've done so far?" I asked.570Please respect copyright.PENANA6nL6aHbkBP
570Please respect copyright.PENANAdFWpiijdO4
"Ah..., sure," he said as he brought over the laptop closer.570Please respect copyright.PENANAP9TdDObaKl
570Please respect copyright.PENANAYIHTkYrg2x
He showed me what he had done and even when the instrumental was short, it sounded great. He really did follow the tune and melody like I had done with the guitar. He also added a few beats into the mix making the song sound more like pop.570Please respect copyright.PENANAtEBoH6NGv4
570Please respect copyright.PENANAPojFD8gJ7Y
"Amazing," I looked at him with so much awe. "It's no wonder you're such a great producer."570Please respect copyright.PENANA8WyQN5QZxk
570Please respect copyright.PENANAuCXRZAuw58
He chuckled. "Coming from you, that means a lot."570Please respect copyright.PENANAwZNuQ1Ux4a
570Please respect copyright.PENANAZu8H6pu0Nx
"The others should hear this." My ear twitched. "I know you're there, Mike."570Please respect copyright.PENANAeYEla8ax51
570Please respect copyright.PENANAUvMLnr1D5i
"Dang it!" I heard him mutter. Yong-guk and I turned around to see him behind us. "How come my cat feet can't work on you?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAv4PwAf5lSv
570Please respect copyright.PENANArzy7IGahMv
"Because what you've ain't cat feet," I smirked at him. "You've to work a lot harder than that."570Please respect copyright.PENANANgabE7ShUB
570Please respect copyright.PENANArvAua8OCvf
"Anyway....," he came closer and placed his hands on my shoulder and Yong-guk's, "what is it that some of us have to listen to?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAwRUAA7vbOp
570Please respect copyright.PENANAb8z6wsEe2U
"This," I said as I pressed the play button on the laptop, playing out the instrumental for him.570Please respect copyright.PENANAJZiUy7Djmj
570Please respect copyright.PENANANYbmdOkqp0
"Wow," muttered Mike. "But wait..., why does this beat sound familiar?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAWVFnpTYv26
570Please respect copyright.PENANAtVi1P7JlAw
"It's because it's the beat to our song, silly," I said to him.570Please respect copyright.PENANAWA3zJazCCh
570Please respect copyright.PENANAg1NIFBhum9
"Wow! Really!" I saw Mike look at Yong-guk just like I did earlier, with so much awe. "This is what you were working on?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAjO6Av5M6yV
570Please respect copyright.PENANARA84lw4voy
Yong-guk nodded his head. Mike almost screamed like a girl, but he tried not to be so loud. I couldn't help but chuckle. He looked like his five year old self when he got a remote control car for his birthday.570Please respect copyright.PENANAPunHFmGZkY
570Please respect copyright.PENANAEyOYBebOUm
"You're amazing," he said as he patted Yong-guk on the shoulder. "This song will be awesome."570Please respect copyright.PENANACmtpj0ATqV
570Please respect copyright.PENANAQm4zHPMWtZ
"Thanks," he said. "You should be thanking your sister, though."570Please respect copyright.PENANAfF0aYx22m9
570Please respect copyright.PENANAcB6P6OB3RQ
"Huh?" Mike and I looked pluzzled.570Please respect copyright.PENANA3r4qRNOw0A
570Please respect copyright.PENANAC1ZSlPBNsF
"Remember what I said," he said as he looked at me. "The way you played with the guitar inspired me to come up with this."570Please respect copyright.PENANAJyFoOKTpQC
570Please respect copyright.PENANAtwrcObIV06
"Oh...," I forgot he said that. Now it's my turn to blush, and Yong-guk smiled.570Please respect copyright.PENANAIu8JNcEnd9
570Please respect copyright.PENANAVpr5WEb6pN
"Ya, my sister is a genius," said Mike. "May I join you?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAhnVlk78TIV
570Please respect copyright.PENANAVBYRGZnHwz
"Sure," said Yong-guk. "With you two here, I bet we can work on it together."570Please respect copyright.PENANAW82qU3NG7X
570Please respect copyright.PENANAclfHMR5oc9
"And probably come up with lyrics for the song," I said when it dawned on me. "That's why you wanted me to come and join you here by the console."570Please respect copyright.PENANABFPajQPwWH
570Please respect copyright.PENANAb5UNhzWrGH
"I see you've got what I intended to do." Yong-guk turned to look at me with a smile. Mike sat on his other side. "I thought working on the instrumental will give you some idea on lyrics for the song."570Please respect copyright.PENANAur0oxMq0Ji
570Please respect copyright.PENANAAHMePzDpvG
"We'll see," said Mike as he rubbed his hands together and looking at the console before him like a hot, tasty meal he couldn't wait to put in his mouth.570Please respect copyright.PENANAMbtStQdnuW
570Please respect copyright.PENANAE8uZpMW9Bj
"Alright, let's start," said Yong-guk.570Please respect copyright.PENANA6E3uWv5LiM
570Please respect copyright.PENANAh1Y1MVceKy
The three of us worked on the beats maker software on the laptop. With Mike's creativity and Yong-guk's producer skills, working on the instrumental was smooth and simple. We had no idea how long we had been working on it, but we had fun and joked around whenever we could.570Please respect copyright.PENANALVQqlI1wll
570Please respect copyright.PENANAlW7KBxWWBe
"Hey, what's going on here?" Himchan asked as he came to join us.570Please respect copyright.PENANAUfYFDdiueL
570Please respect copyright.PENANAfL8qlCyD3h
"We're working on an instrumental," Mike answered.570Please respect copyright.PENANAi4RUmNV9Zm
570Please respect copyright.PENANA2GUrW45W6m
"Which one?"570Please respect copyright.PENANANIUMlAnDOP
570Please respect copyright.PENANAQXGUIfOmvO
"For our song," I answered. "You should hear it, it's really good."570Please respect copyright.PENANAkC1q2zMFdp
570Please respect copyright.PENANAbFmB2i3ceI
"Oh, I thought you had run out of ideas for the lyrics."570Please respect copyright.PENANAFyGt8l0XGA
570Please respect copyright.PENANArLPDls5aAl
"Well, I did. Maybe if I continue working on the instrumental, I might come up with them."570Please respect copyright.PENANAKdMVrLfmEP
570Please respect copyright.PENANArjzaDcB4Va
"How far have you gone doing so?"570Please respect copyright.PENANA3E6K1CR7GU
570Please respect copyright.PENANAMQchxfVZWj
"Not too far," Yong-guk answered. "We've only tried to work on the first part and heading to the chorus. But even that needs a lot of work."570Please respect copyright.PENANAqpzmviGt2s
570Please respect copyright.PENANAovAbcFRhyV
"I agree," said Mike.570Please respect copyright.PENANAX9BmLXrv7V
570Please respect copyright.PENANAIVgZxz6hqU
"And you're going to use this instrumental for your album?" Himchan asked.570Please respect copyright.PENANASEgrGQD1zZ
570Please respect copyright.PENANAUJjDiOJdEL
"Of course we're," I answered, looking back at him. I now understood why he asked and I winced.570Please respect copyright.PENANAN2cFy7Xp33
570Please respect copyright.PENANAwQtyVUmxPW
"What is it, Sam?" Mike asked.570Please respect copyright.PENANAWa59ZXlb1s
570Please respect copyright.PENANAITG133MxhF
"We need to seek permission to use this instrumental." I scratched the back of my head. "Goodness, why didn't I think about this before?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAoBGwtUEcCr
570Please respect copyright.PENANAuP0ec3IWxC
"Oh, ya," Mike turned to look at me quickly. "Why can't you give Collins a call and tell him that we've someone helping us?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAkkcCEMVA74
570Please respect copyright.PENANA5p2xwADexz
"Collins may agree. But what about Yang Hyun-suk?"570Please respect copyright.PENANA9WrvhIwGq2
570Please respect copyright.PENANAXrX33PfF2d
Mike and I stared at each other. We both winced like we had done something wrong and we would be in big trouble for it.570Please respect copyright.PENANAPwDq2K8VKu
570Please respect copyright.PENANAkdx2yIhxKI
"Gosh, the man is troubling," said Mike as he leaned back in his seat. "He can hunt you in your dreams if you think about him too much."570Please respect copyright.PENANAzB57UtyrPx
570Please respect copyright.PENANAMoGA83UnpW
"He's really strict," I said. "And he's also hard to impress. If we do play out the instrumental for him, would he really like it?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAQGL9KaSR2K
570Please respect copyright.PENANAjRftSpPVYo
"This is your tune and melody, Sam. So, he can't refuse. I mean, the song we did with BigBang was all you too."570Please respect copyright.PENANA0ewgPBGpir
570Please respect copyright.PENANATJXSRwbAiA
"It was?" Yong-guk and Himchan asked at the same time.570Please respect copyright.PENANATwC65dPm2d
570Please respect copyright.PENANASlZGJHfLiN
"Never mind that," I told them as I went back to looking at Mike. "I'm worried because Yong-guk is helping us produce this one. Will Yang Hyun-suk agree?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAR6fe3MLRyo
570Please respect copyright.PENANA73iom95Ccq
"As long as he knows you thought of it in the first place, he'll definitely agree." Mike leaned forward so as to look at me.570Please respect copyright.PENANArw6jLw9ygz
570Please respect copyright.PENANAK3UkoGqcEp
"Does this thing involving me always have to be highlighted?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAEFVB3Cu50I
570Please respect copyright.PENANAb9dX4dkpzP
"Daa, yes! Out of all of us, Yang Hyun-suk approves of you the most. He'll definitely go through with it."570Please respect copyright.PENANATKqtRQ8uTg
570Please respect copyright.PENANAcTxyxHCCJQ
I gave Mike a look. I don't consider myself as Yang Hyun-suk's favourite among The Toxins. I'm just afraid he won't approve.570Please respect copyright.PENANA4bBk3Z75TB
570Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4k1HDxRWR
"Okay, if that's the case, than what of Yong-guk? Will he really help us through till the end?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAmfb6eEjjHr
570Please respect copyright.PENANAuBE4z3goWI
"I don't think we've to worry about that. Besides, even if he didn't offer to help, he seemed to do it out of his own free will, you know."570Please respect copyright.PENANA6BKRIHZV4F
570Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3JA9EgD26
"I'm right here, you guys," said Yong-guk in between Mike and me. "I can clearly hear you."570Please respect copyright.PENANAsYs4x4oCnp
570Please respect copyright.PENANA8hMkPkf69E
Mike and I turned to look at him, then ignored him like he wasn't there. Himchan chuckled.570Please respect copyright.PENANA0Hn5Ikhtxo
570Please respect copyright.PENANAThn4LnPTQB
"You're right," I said. "He'll stay till the end. He's such a good friend for helping us out."570Please respect copyright.PENANAG23AX85vhb
570Please respect copyright.PENANAwI22AeHR3r
"I know right," Mike smiled. "He's awesome."570Please respect copyright.PENANAdguh2Qnsye
570Please respect copyright.PENANAPJd9oMowJD
"I think you better focus on giving Collins a call, Sam," said Yong-guk, trying to sound serious, yet falling to do so.570Please respect copyright.PENANAsRnuV7KT9j
570Please respect copyright.PENANAKOLknRMJ7m
"Aww," Himchan complained. "Their conversation was just about to get more interesting."570Please respect copyright.PENANAyIcRiZYioa
570Please respect copyright.PENANAI0YEfUK4id
I laughed. "He's just trying to hide the fact that he's blushing."570Please respect copyright.PENANArTjnVKz8pp
570Please respect copyright.PENANAOQQ6CoSd1r
"No, I'm not," said Yong-guk as he folded his arms and looked straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.570Please respect copyright.PENANA2XGAMcjapP
570Please respect copyright.PENANAyNbdQAcMZ0
Mike burst out laughing that he leaned back further in his seat. "Stop trying to put up a serious face, Yong-guk," he said. "You look awfully funny."570Please respect copyright.PENANA2wSAkAn4hG
570Please respect copyright.PENANAv9KlRV4WF9
I couldn't help but agree with Mike as I also started laughing. I had to keep in mind that I had a phone call to make. I soon stood up from my seat.570Please respect copyright.PENANACjGqpc4a9v
570Please respect copyright.PENANAWfLMnIRoiE
"I'll be back," I said as I tried to stop laughing. "You better not have that face when I get back, Yong-guk."570Please respect copyright.PENANAcXUqmgr9YA
570Please respect copyright.PENANAcGQNpiQOU2
I walked away from the others as I made my way to the door. I needed to be somewhere more private if I am to talk with Collins.570Please respect copyright.PENANAciGmREwUPt
570Please respect copyright.PENANAc8A7N9IygP
I stepped out into the hall and looked both ways. There's nobody walking around. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and searched for Collins' number. I pressed the call button and placed the phone to my ear.570Please respect copyright.PENANAoWIOl9Qdrm
570Please respect copyright.PENANAWOCrzq6yRr
His phone rang, and it kept on ringing. I grew worried that he might not answer. Maybe he's busy. He did say he would be occupied today. I better call him at a later time.570Please respect copyright.PENANAz3W1u8lwoS
570Please respect copyright.PENANAqkWy5mBB9p
Just when I'm about to cut the call, he picked up at the last minute.570Please respect copyright.PENANAsjt3cmfpPR
570Please respect copyright.PENANAz3cE3lbe2T
"Hi, Sam," came his voice. "How's song writing going?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAibyiK0MNC4
570Please respect copyright.PENANATNdrVxo3st
"Not good, I'm afraid," I said as I scratched the back of my head wondering how to bring up the instrumental thing.570Please respect copyright.PENANAYyiRa5pUS1
570Please respect copyright.PENANALTRm67w8O3
"You'll figure it out. You do have extra help, don't you?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAEqbe05jl0I
570Please respect copyright.PENANAcp9FsiwUBy
"I see Lee told you about BAP."570Please respect copyright.PENANAlwbkOC6f8L
570Please respect copyright.PENANAjzZgQhrqER
"Well, she had to. So what can I do for you?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAiTWG7wVG8N
570Please respect copyright.PENANA73axwkMTmQ
"Well, we were working on the song and we felt a little stuck. So we had help with coming up with the instrumental for the song."570Please respect copyright.PENANAd6lBedwCJH
570Please respect copyright.PENANACwZr8PgOFv
"You're already coming up with that?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAQl3gwjaj9A
570Please respect copyright.PENANAVm55dTX2n4
I scratched the back of my head even more as I started to pace up and down in front of the door. "Well, ya. You see, Yong-guk - the leader of BAP - kind of got inspired to make us the instrumental because of the way I played it with the guitar. So we were wondering if it's okay with you that we use it for the song."570Please respect copyright.PENANARmyw8onmvs
570Please respect copyright.PENANAqhBGv1LnHL
There was silence on the other end. I wonder what Collins must be thinking. He's a little unpredictable sometimes and he might not agree with it.570Please respect copyright.PENANA7gE3UVFNY6
570Please respect copyright.PENANAbSRkekddyJ
"Well," he started to say, "we would've to listen to it to see if it's actually good. The big problem is whether he should be working on it in the first place."570Please respect copyright.PENANAFbQOkWXV0g
570Please respect copyright.PENANAvRNfcRtXoK
I knew it. I had to say something quick to convince him.570Please respect copyright.PENANAdoq62mL9AC
570Please respect copyright.PENANAijm87QQfyN
"I know, but he's really good. And besides, Mike and I are helping out too. You can be rest assured that it will be great."570Please respect copyright.PENANAc6aEl1tat2
570Please respect copyright.PENANARldZGZbYxi
"I believe you. But you know I'm not the only manager in this project of ours."570Please respect copyright.PENANA8NAzIZLJt0
570Please respect copyright.PENANA0NzHlMg1hJ
"If you could talk to Yang Hyun-suk for me, I bet he would agree. Yong-guk is a great producer and he's reputation proves that otherwise."570Please respect copyright.PENANALVHKNvcl7w
570Please respect copyright.PENANAfKL0EkAPUZ
"I don't have to talk to Yang Hyun-suk. He's right here with me. I put you on loud speaker."570Please respect copyright.PENANA4cFlFzqBTZ
570Please respect copyright.PENANAjxf6hh73n6
I swallowed as I stopped pacing and my heart did one huge beat that I felt my chest hurt.570Please respect copyright.PENANAM41LLtt8OB
570Please respect copyright.PENANAfCju3R20Km
"Oh..., good afternoon, Yang Hyun-suk sarangnim," I said quickly, so as not to seem surprised.570Please respect copyright.PENANAsRpDK4SuSK
570Please respect copyright.PENANAMLojbYKgAr
"Afternoon," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice. I could feel beads of sweet starting to form on my forehead. "I heard everything you had to say."570Please respect copyright.PENANAwrxcJaT44Q
570Please respect copyright.PENANAZECp38fEBS
"And what do you think?"570Please respect copyright.PENANAXLLLbPH3Rm
570Please respect copyright.PENANAFIxizRV1Iv
"Well..., as much as the idea sounds tempting, I would actually refuse."570Please respect copyright.PENANAPVfyoFkF8Y
570Please respect copyright.PENANAUpXoieEEOo
My heart sank. I told myself it was worth a try anyway.570Please respect copyright.PENANAbioRK5GtMa
570Please respect copyright.PENANA0FV9ncfUyX
"But," he continued, "we're talking about Bang Yong-guk, and he's reputation, like you've said, precedes him. If he does want to help out and you think he's the right producer for the job, then I've no objection to it. You can proceed with making the instrumental."570Please respect copyright.PENANAR4V19Hcpmw
570Please respect copyright.PENANA7z1CDrXZdV
"Really!" I cried out in excitement. I can't believe he actually agreed.570Please respect copyright.PENANAwNCLJoH0NG
570Please respect copyright.PENANAIAHo3AMEq1
"Let's not forget that we're the ones that have the final say. If it's good, then we will proceed."570Please respect copyright.PENANAPZH8YqIUMk
570Please respect copyright.PENANAgKN0v49utn
"Thank you!" I said with so much excitement. I could hear the two managers chuckle to themselves. "I promise you won't be disappointed."570Please respect copyright.PENANA10LrHQjqKc
570Please respect copyright.PENANAtOnYRzs5En
"Make us proud, Sam," said Collins. "I hope you'll be able to come up with lyrics."570Please respect copyright.PENANA5LgjArrmJY
570Please respect copyright.PENANAfIg4WxNV4g
"I will. Thank you once again."570Please respect copyright.PENANACd18I7CYHl
570Please respect copyright.PENANAsHQsWQOtZQ
The two managers wished me luck. As soon as the line cut, I punched the air with excitement. We're really doing this. I can't wait to tell the others.570Please respect copyright.PENANAULegv92MeO
570Please respect copyright.PENANA4hFR21OqoD
I turned around and opened the door to the studio. As soon as I went in, I quickly rushed over to the others on the console.570Please respect copyright.PENANA4t8h0t2Ktv
570Please respect copyright.PENANAALP0BuPdQL
"What's the news?" Mike asked as he looked at me.570Please respect copyright.PENANABBaVGwI5qv
570Please respect copyright.PENANAeWYpmvh29U
"I hope it's good," said Himchan.570Please respect copyright.PENANAhiFE8kKqPg
570Please respect copyright.PENANA60zTKVYH6v
"What news?" asked Daniel who was still seated on the couch. His eyes left the phone as he looked at us who were by the console.570Please respect copyright.PENANAxTD7LE1bF0
570Please respect copyright.PENANAzeVjANIWWc
"They agreed," I answered.570Please respect copyright.PENANA8VXOzFjTaC
570Please respect copyright.PENANAGgCpHFJOyA
Himchan and Mike clapped, looking relieved. Yong-guk leaned back in his seat, looking cool and composed, but I could tell that he was just as happy as the three of us.570Please respect copyright.PENANAMFEditKcv4
570Please respect copyright.PENANAcH1Dkk4bju
"Who agreed to what?" Daniel asked as he stood up from his couch to come over and join us. "I want to know what's going on."570Please respect copyright.PENANAUBLEPbA5MA
570Please respect copyright.PENANAo3XtCqj9wB
"Ya, I'm also anxious to know what you're all talking about," said Daehyun.570Please respect copyright.PENANAdc17ZZfurF
570Please respect copyright.PENANAjcMhC7bgzL
"Me too," said Zoey. "What did I miss?"570Please respect copyright.PENANANbAmh4Jyoc
570Please respect copyright.PENANAnrE5gUaqW6
"A lot," I answered.570Please respect copyright.PENANA1cBzuDRlUA
570Please respect copyright.PENANAvezruJOrwS
I told them what was going on and how I somehow managed to talk to the managers to go through with Yong-guk's instrumental.570Please respect copyright.PENANAbkXOyjkwNk
570Please respect copyright.PENANA2ziucyOS87
"Wow, that's awesome," said Zelo.570Please respect copyright.PENANAdCTATprByu
570Please respect copyright.PENANAvR0j7dtEQ8
"You see how the managers just love you, Sam?" Mike asked.570Please respect copyright.PENANA2vivhJnXkT
570Please respect copyright.PENANAU25g8fgImA
"No, they don't," I emphasised. "If they don't like the instrumental, we aren't going to use it. So it has to be perfect."570Please respect copyright.PENANA413Y5Mkzni
570Please respect copyright.PENANANkijJiBEu6
"But for them to agree its because they know Yong-guk is an awesome producer," said Himchan. "No doubt it will be lit."570Please respect copyright.PENANAtC7nwf71Np
570Please respect copyright.PENANAxIyVCPmVKi
"I agree with Himchan," said Zoey. "And besides, it's more of Sam's original, so they can't say no."570Please respect copyright.PENANAZd7d6adzYb
570Please respect copyright.PENANA26X5ZIhvNE
"Okay, we just need to focus on the instrumental and hopefully come up with the lyrics," I said.570Please respect copyright.PENANAZYbIBDKbth
570Please respect copyright.PENANAn7bZBeZweN
"Well, you better work on those fast," said Yong-nam, who was now wide awake, but still laying on the floor. "You don't have much time."570Please respect copyright.PENANAZC8pjf1J5X
570Please respect copyright.PENANALgIRyrpTK2
"Okay," I said as I rubbed my hands together. "Toxins, get over here by the console, please."570Please respect copyright.PENANAVTf1OCYeL9
570Please respect copyright.PENANAQYSxgGyeee
"Okay," said Christine and Zoey as they both stood up from the couch and quickly came over.570Please respect copyright.PENANAwm7HqxXsEx
570Please respect copyright.PENANAEBIoGWHxNU
"We will be here to help in anyway we can," said Young-jae.570Please respect copyright.PENANAhDxuXAuH2t
570Please respect copyright.PENANAeMYuhGCYz4
"Thanks, guys," I said with a smile. I went over to sit back on my chair next to Yong-guk.570Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7KSSaLPZC
570Please respect copyright.PENANAOiFoDVUKti
"Okay," said Yong-guk. "Let's continue where we ended, shall we?"
