"Okay, so here are the lyrics for the song," I said after writing them down.650Please respect copyright.PENANAXlbQ8otYML
650Please respect copyright.PENANAyWqrvWfOoR
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAo0xf0di9uZ
650Please respect copyright.PENANAaVhPDCikTF
"Just admit it," said Zoey, "the song is awesome."650Please respect copyright.PENANAUo3NkUazwC
650Please respect copyright.PENANANhbYGNSfkf
"Zoey." Christine gave her a look that told her to keep quiet. "Let the others take it in first."650Please respect copyright.PENANARGfA1qGaEf
650Please respect copyright.PENANAlHaFojv2jd
"Zoey's right," said Daehyun. "The lyrics are great."650Please respect copyright.PENANAMydDiHjgd7
650Please respect copyright.PENANAUofQDARcOg
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAhk2SFZnIAJ
650Please respect copyright.PENANAE7yYGXxtDI
"You should listen to the tune," said Mike. "You'll love it."650Please respect copyright.PENANABYEgbgGkoZ
650Please respect copyright.PENANAKwNDVD9Ctk
"I bet that's why you went searching for the guitar," said Jongup as he looked at me.650Please respect copyright.PENANAwDtEnViXDP
650Please respect copyright.PENANASREUNZRehh
"Play the guitar, Sam," Himchan insisted. "We're all dying to hear it. I bet Yong-guk can't wait any longer."650Please respect copyright.PENANAvSsBHUXUSh
650Please respect copyright.PENANAHGSFjyKOYa
"Huh?" Yong-guk looked at Himchan beside him, looking confused. "No, I'm not."650Please respect copyright.PENANA0gVmwY0ZBp
650Please respect copyright.PENANAjhd7GTncSd
"Of course you are," said Yong-nam as he gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "Don't forget, I'm your twin."650Please respect copyright.PENANABkb9v0ounZ
650Please respect copyright.PENANA7rDWBmPER1
"Okay," I said as I took the guitar that had been laying on the table the whole time. "Let me play it, then."650Please respect copyright.PENANACC4pG0hMT9
650Please respect copyright.PENANAm39v9fBWKF
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANASt4mnhvtOh
650Please respect copyright.PENANAleE0QQZegJ
"Wow," said Young-jae, looking at me like he's just seen something's dazzled him. "The song's going to sound awesome."650Please respect copyright.PENANAQkylrcIClB
650Please respect copyright.PENANAShbRUAaFXO
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAOo5lnY4oBF
650Please respect copyright.PENANAlwJNTvOaxr
"Alright," said Yong-guk, looking to see what I was writing on the paper. "Whatever it is, I bet we can handle it."650Please respect copyright.PENANAmr1fG2Rg3P
650Please respect copyright.PENANArPAVRffBDM
"Can't wait to see you try," said Christine. "But then again, if it's you two l'm not worried."650Please respect copyright.PENANAeJ8uYJ8UZ1
650Please respect copyright.PENANAQC28R5UUYT
"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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAelORKe4e94
650Please respect copyright.PENANASPHu7z9UdO
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAViX1bMAGAE
650Please respect copyright.PENANAF3rxf5HbYb
"Come on, Jongup," Zelo complained. "You're distracting Sam. We all want to hear what she has written."650Please respect copyright.PENANAkNFUHw4I1t
650Please respect copyright.PENANAjQhCG5SLN3
"I don't think that I'm distracting her," said Jongup as he looked at Zelo. "Right, Sam?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAV2cPlV8OHX
650Please respect copyright.PENANAJt46tsG6EA
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANATn0OIVEUy1
650Please respect copyright.PENANACiBJmlZmYq
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAlUTy1NoiJx
650Please respect copyright.PENANAxnQR63CKwg
"What's wrong, Sam?" he asked.650Please respect copyright.PENANAt3frNUGVJn
650Please respect copyright.PENANAUi8U1sFDK7
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANA8BsTg0tfI9
650Please respect copyright.PENANAMFemzp2ITX
"Goodness, Jongup," said Mike, "you almost kissed my sister."650Please respect copyright.PENANA9SXMLKpqKQ
650Please respect copyright.PENANA1HuyIv3e23
And it just had to be Mike. Goodness, me!650Please respect copyright.PENANAyofopJVl4s
650Please respect copyright.PENANAjybrRO6ZL4
"Huh?" Jongup looked surprised. "I did?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAtRwCCuxIUY
650Please respect copyright.PENANATGwQgX96c2
"And you were this close," said Zoey indicating a tiny space with her index finger and thumb.650Please respect copyright.PENANAk6l6c6bidr
650Please respect copyright.PENANAZgq72wNnhu
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANA2BaHLmUaFP
650Please respect copyright.PENANAMlxPAVz0Kf
"You see, I told you so," said Zelo.650Please respect copyright.PENANAlpjynKUtBa
650Please respect copyright.PENANAtmwxuDcHn6
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAoeJHPa3EpL
650Please respect copyright.PENANA1Yv7eYJJm6
Yong-nam cleared his throat. "Not at all," he answered. "You're actually pretty light."650Please respect copyright.PENANAOGDDczkCjy
650Please respect copyright.PENANA9EN8100fq4
I nervously laughed, not sure whether he meant it or not.650Please respect copyright.PENANAUiBoAjX5hq
650Please respect copyright.PENANAU7qzsInXEt
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAvczKYZu0Kd
650Please respect copyright.PENANAwjLPOUPuNl
"You're such a fantasist, Zoey," said Daniel as he shook his head.650Please respect copyright.PENANAVWb9zaAzai
650Please respect copyright.PENANAUAgShcbR1t
"Don't mind her," I said. "Can we forget the kissing incident and focus on the song, please?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAq4aPzCsNj7
650Please respect copyright.PENANA42QCKD73ja
"Sure," said Mike. "That's if we can reset Zoey's brain or else she won't stop talking about it."650Please respect copyright.PENANAy64q0Lv1pG
650Please respect copyright.PENANA59TBkswRok
"Are you saying that I'm kookoo?" Zoey asked, looking at Mike.650Please respect copyright.PENANAGcJEDGHwLZ
650Please respect copyright.PENANA1HMfTxTA3R
"You can argue later, you two," I said, giving them a look. "Let's try and focus."650Please respect copyright.PENANAequwq28kXo
650Please respect copyright.PENANAxl3cmI2EIK
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAA0Lw1WT4Hp
650Please respect copyright.PENANArXEmBs4vk1
"Is it just me or something's just off?" Young-jae asked.650Please respect copyright.PENANA1DhO5jCKp8
650Please respect copyright.PENANAQoofZrynii
"I think I feel what you mean," said Zoey as she scratched her head.650Please respect copyright.PENANAdSpx7srNLV
650Please respect copyright.PENANAKXu6xqCNTD
"Huh? What's Zoey saying?" Himchan asked.650Please respect copyright.PENANAOeZlODjxHn
650Please respect copyright.PENANAtpf3hEdzih
"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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAMMwkD5PRhf
650Please respect copyright.PENANAiehfp41TUk
"I feel we aren't working like we did the first time," said Christine.650Please respect copyright.PENANA7BEgFgLdSu
650Please respect copyright.PENANAqszACdaGTt
"Ya, that's what I meant," said Zoey.650Please respect copyright.PENANA7FH39V4Z2L
650Please respect copyright.PENANA6sm7A7U0Eg
"We just aren't coming up with the right lyrics," said Yong-guk, "that's all."650Please respect copyright.PENANA3QBe42Oek0
650Please respect copyright.PENANA65TMiSzbfN
"Why is that?" Himchan asked.650Please respect copyright.PENANAaRzbGWly6Q
650Please respect copyright.PENANASBSNtviOkK
"Who knows," said Daniel. "What do you think, Sam?"650Please respect copyright.PENANACmBdnrHsYT
650Please respect copyright.PENANAIpgL5tRsl5
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANArG57JxBGPH
650Please respect copyright.PENANAUKKZ35fAaj
"You look like you're about to cry, Sam," said Jongup.650Please respect copyright.PENANA9hemYrfCS1
650Please respect copyright.PENANABNw6ntiotk
"Don't mind me," I said. "I'm frustrated that we're going nowhere."650Please respect copyright.PENANAcM1YJB8kTx
650Please respect copyright.PENANAsQyUtMuHsC
"Maybe we're all just tired," said Zelo.650Please respect copyright.PENANAjNZKwQrZK3
650Please respect copyright.PENANAAzi9MIVrGt
"I felt we rested enough," said Daehyun.650Please respect copyright.PENANA0Nq1Y9ncfn
650Please respect copyright.PENANASLPXuSN4sB
"Or maybe we've been in the same place for too long," I suggested. "Sometimes the environment contributes greatly."650Please respect copyright.PENANABQ87NTpEsO
650Please respect copyright.PENANAnZoVl4TIy1
"Maybe," said Yong-guk.650Please respect copyright.PENANAXl7Kk34xwy
650Please respect copyright.PENANAcZpFmG2RAI
"What do you think, Yong-nam?" Christine asked as she turned to look at him.650Please respect copyright.PENANALFnJETha9y
650Please respect copyright.PENANA54HTvykbz5
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."650Please respect copyright.PENANATv5sRkFTj6
650Please respect copyright.PENANAzpJQqXPoHb
"Tomorrow?" Daniel looked shocked at the idea. "Won't that be a little too late for us?"650Please respect copyright.PENANANLoYxjRtXb
650Please respect copyright.PENANA4RcDu93yBd
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAFjdRThdamc
650Please respect copyright.PENANA9JzCvoWL9H
"Not forgetting that we should at least have something to present to Yang Hyun-suk," said Zoey.650Please respect copyright.PENANA8x3XGRqHHT
650Please respect copyright.PENANAdafZ1EoNoe
"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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAetZoWz4yeB
650Please respect copyright.PENANA88gmKB5S1P
"Now I wish we never had to make an album," said Zoey as she leaned back on the chair and sighed.650Please respect copyright.PENANADr5Ztyn7oY
650Please respect copyright.PENANAndXEyffnWU
"Wow, you guys are working on an album?" Jongup asked.650Please respect copyright.PENANAhNmMEdT0ok
650Please respect copyright.PENANAEvWfYF8Jax
"Yep," I answered as I lifted my face up from my hands. "Our managers are ambitious."650Please respect copyright.PENANAKl7XAhcrWn
650Please respect copyright.PENANAXe40O6JM6j
"At least we don't have to worry about the other songs," said Zoey.650Please respect copyright.PENANA2QfIX6gQml
650Please respect copyright.PENANA6KMNoU5htb
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAb6itSxTgUL
650Please respect copyright.PENANAM6cvrlp57d
"I think we should take a little break," said Yong-nam.650Please respect copyright.PENANAHpEs8DbYFf
650Please respect copyright.PENANAheVsUweQQY
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?650Please respect copyright.PENANAPdL4Yz2Atv
650Please respect copyright.PENANA5wP0nKFPen
"You're scaring me, Sam," I heard Yong-guk say.650Please respect copyright.PENANANdoigSY71A
650Please respect copyright.PENANAOQJBwH4GiY
"Oh, don't mind her," said Zoey. "She started this and finding a way to finish it is frustrating."650Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ561YSCXx
650Please respect copyright.PENANAT6lej92guL
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANATFOhCZk6ya
650Please respect copyright.PENANAt8BXmiKLbx
"Wait..., does this mean we won't have the reward Lee was talking about?" I heard Daniel ask.650Please respect copyright.PENANAUzeWZagVzN
650Please respect copyright.PENANApChQhPNzrv
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAwSYhcteWi6
650Please respect copyright.PENANAGVfrqocaqw
"Don't worry about that, Daniel," I said. "Lee will give us that reward."650Please respect copyright.PENANAodwfMvmvlD
650Please respect copyright.PENANAA0NIMVXiX3
"For someone who seems tired, you sound pretty confident," said Himchan.650Please respect copyright.PENANAM3msS1gbXt
650Please respect copyright.PENANAfj33KlvtIV
"I just know." I smiled at him as I shrugged my shoulders.650Please respect copyright.PENANAulKVcth8JJ
650Please respect copyright.PENANAD6v7rFL550
"Do you've any idea what it could be?" Daniel asked.650Please respect copyright.PENANAyG8hbVa7Fg
650Please respect copyright.PENANAXA8Gig8E41
I shook my head. It's best it turns out as a surprise.650Please respect copyright.PENANAyGuGDtP2Z2
650Please respect copyright.PENANAmLZ4nbXqEm
"So, what are we going to do now?" Zelo asked. "Just sit and do nothing?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAOz1GEzyvpF
650Please respect copyright.PENANAByzgqF90Xf
"We can do something fun to pass the time," Christine suggested.650Please respect copyright.PENANAEs5otQkQ1d
650Please respect copyright.PENANA0HnynDJ4w4
"Not me," I went back to lying down on the floor.650Please respect copyright.PENANAQdLyEi89gr
650Please respect copyright.PENANAGybzAx6NQv
No one said a word. I could feel a few eyes on me, while others, I'm guessing, gave each other looks.650Please respect copyright.PENANAkYKxT4U8Zg
650Please respect copyright.PENANAYg4O8FHgv6
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "You're such a party pooper."650Please respect copyright.PENANA3BGcg1jU1Q
650Please respect copyright.PENANALQo29a6wVt
"Haven't heard you call me that in a while," I said as I smiled at the ceiling.650Please respect copyright.PENANAmkHslwdktF
650Please respect copyright.PENANARY2IL2mAIX
"Get up, will you? This is no time to be lying down."650Please respect copyright.PENANArutUNEHpNT
650Please respect copyright.PENANAvdfA6IwDtx
"There's nothing wrong with lying down to rest, is there?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAp5NFcAjfE1
650Please respect copyright.PENANAKZvXAHv7HJ
"Goodness, me." Zoey sounded frustrated. She couldn't argue over that and she knew it.650Please respect copyright.PENANAHwkoxc2KpY
650Please respect copyright.PENANAT7noePIM5B
"Maybe we should call Lee to pick us up," Mike suggested.650Please respect copyright.PENANAqWKoacw0GC
650Please respect copyright.PENANA0bP2FVcLkz
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAjOOZUU5Rc1
650Please respect copyright.PENANA1ix5esZDgM
I heard Zelo and Daehyun chuckle while I heard Christine and Zoey mutter out in frustration.650Please respect copyright.PENANAOPcckgRdzd
650Please respect copyright.PENANAzjo3yYWX1X
"Looks like you're stuck here with us until Lee comes to pick you up," I heard Yong-guk say.650Please respect copyright.PENANAT6zPNYfk8c
650Please respect copyright.PENANAI4fIMZGvXv
"But we can't sit here doing nothing," said Daniel. "Like Christine said, we better find something to do."650Please respect copyright.PENANAUnyjYsaDh9
650Please respect copyright.PENANA909kiJpTMy
"You should be resting," I suggested, my eyes still closed.650Please respect copyright.PENANA5tS3L1qQin
650Please respect copyright.PENANAvRUG2AdMZx
"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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAKp41PHnKPz
650Please respect copyright.PENANAfG9eZgbg08
I smiled. "Suit yourself."650Please respect copyright.PENANAETa5nLAYZf
650Please respect copyright.PENANAUUn8VAEvgj
"No one wants to do karaoke in the recording booth?" Jongup suggested.650Please respect copyright.PENANAFFfaEf27h7
650Please respect copyright.PENANAw2wvAudC8N
"I think we've done enough singing for one day," said Daehyun.650Please respect copyright.PENANAQOBvCWclyZ
650Please respect copyright.PENANApWC4Amd2yx
"I agree," said Zoey.650Please respect copyright.PENANAGgLnVNwpij
650Please respect copyright.PENANAoQmDklYd45
"If there's clearly nothing to do, then I think we should be resting like Sam's doing right now," said Yong-guk.650Please respect copyright.PENANAHRR8Op3Ssr
650Please respect copyright.PENANAFo5FTR4Xp7
"I like your thinking," I said with my eyes closed. I raised my hand to give him a thumbs up.650Please respect copyright.PENANAwW1rtieRaB
650Please respect copyright.PENANAP88ztZE1TY
"You songwriters all think the same," I heard Christine mutter.650Please respect copyright.PENANAF2uIo0afmr
650Please respect copyright.PENANA9Iz8o6GtuJ
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAk9LmB2l4Re
650Please respect copyright.PENANATLRwVhEoxe
"Huh? Not you too, Mike," said Zoey, sounding surprised.650Please respect copyright.PENANAoyazIBbKLB
650Please respect copyright.PENANA6pXn3Muc79
"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?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAqjcxSDpl0M
650Please respect copyright.PENANAqtgLBZ3P9f
"I shouldn't be surprised coming from you."650Please respect copyright.PENANA00sRPCtb6b
650Please respect copyright.PENANALA9Illd6av
"Ya, ya, ya, Zoey. I'm the bad guy here. Doesn't matter now, does it?"650Please respect copyright.PENANA3KJ4StTJq6
650Please respect copyright.PENANA2OTUhOAC4x
"Well, if there's nothing for you guys to do at the moment, then I'm going to work on something," said Yong-guk.650Please respect copyright.PENANAJnRS6Zzyjz
650Please respect copyright.PENANAVMUkBIAq0n
"And what could that be?" Young-jae asked.650Please respect copyright.PENANAosSBOTKLqc
650Please respect copyright.PENANAlcgXmiuyVv
"Our song, of course."650Please respect copyright.PENANAGwfFSVxAeI
650Please respect copyright.PENANAacXNJtBEum
"You go ahead and do that," I said.650Please respect copyright.PENANAyPMOTlmKiG
650Please respect copyright.PENANAnEglUqJlN3
There came an awkward pause and I opened one eye to look at him.650Please respect copyright.PENANAXW2H19XOPN
650Please respect copyright.PENANA9rOl8VXomv
"You look surprised, Yong-guk," said Yong-nam. He took the words right out of my mouth.650Please respect copyright.PENANAYa87NjqT9L
650Please respect copyright.PENANAvuARIk9uIN
"I thought that would get Sam up from the floor since she seems to really like helping out," said Yong-guk.650Please respect copyright.PENANAXJCB7OsxsS
650Please respect copyright.PENANA8a8NBmVo9Q
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANARN7ZzZRWQM
650Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ1ERPObHj
"Okay, then," said Yong-guk. "And you, Mike?"650Please respect copyright.PENANA5ArOAWvOtU
650Please respect copyright.PENANAYNrj3qZzoU
"I'll pass too," said Mike.650Please respect copyright.PENANAc2tIODilD2
650Please respect copyright.PENANABFyyj2HjZH
"Okay. I'll be by the console. Any of you guys want to join me?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAdMlz67HIn5
650Please respect copyright.PENANAY5U1DB7HDX
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAwLigOYZ6tU
650Please respect copyright.PENANAnfrODk7hBG
"I'm going to relax over here too," said Young-jae.650Please respect copyright.PENANADZQHRpjuhR
650Please respect copyright.PENANAntKnYYap3M
"What's up with everyone?" Yong-guk asked, sounding surprised.650Please respect copyright.PENANAZrQaC8iIa6
650Please respect copyright.PENANAiIVUg7TRfV
"Like Yong-nam said, we're tired," I said as I sat up. "The best thing to do right now is relax."650Please respect copyright.PENANAhHgxaGSLjU
650Please respect copyright.PENANAL0p5ZoHaQm
"Aren't you worried about not making progress on your song?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAbgCALzYXOZ
650Please respect copyright.PENANA3ChC3mo1aN
"I was about to ask the same question," said Zoey with a sulky look on her face. 650Please respect copyright.PENANABnPqdtFi79
650Please respect copyright.PENANAP1rGW1saOf
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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAZHbXI1FXvm
650Please respect copyright.PENANABhdwdvOvdE
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAWhlp9huR86
650Please respect copyright.PENANAa3kD9xGakU
"You of all people shouldn't even be sleeping," said Yong-guk.650Please respect copyright.PENANAtGftkI8dXf
650Please respect copyright.PENANAcLm3Po4tj7
I laughed. As much as I wanted to hear these two brothers argue, it ended there. I went back to sleeping on the floor.650Please respect copyright.PENANAPVeqKz56iL
650Please respect copyright.PENANA9qlo4jCG1c
"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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAlyfhkUrKYP
650Please respect copyright.PENANAmvzOLJE4SG
"Looks like the majority wins," said Himchan as he chuckled.650Please respect copyright.PENANAg8lNAAf6Ox
650Please respect copyright.PENANAWTkOiHGGxU
Zoey mourned in frustration. Even I could tell she's tired. She had no choice but to give in.650Please respect copyright.PENANA8c5TpH6nBW
650Please respect copyright.PENANAadCoAZVrhK
"Oh, man!" Daniel muttered out loud.650Please respect copyright.PENANAmEqj9WOJnK
650Please respect copyright.PENANAiE5IplihOL
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAAG5KPFsu2l
650Please respect copyright.PENANA16jFgl1kQs
"Sorry, guys," he said. He quickly looked up from his phone when he noticed people's eyes on him. "Playing a game over here."650Please respect copyright.PENANAtubyUhkodV
650Please respect copyright.PENANAXeoDIcsgOp
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANASl49ZEjAJ7
650Please respect copyright.PENANA8GGRSAkM32
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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAitWKrYxJUa
650Please respect copyright.PENANARDrrB8udvE
"I think I'll have a little shut-eye," said Christine.650Please respect copyright.PENANAjqutTpMXlA
650Please respect copyright.PENANAEWo8Q8Pgbw
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANA1Sq3yfmDru
650Please respect copyright.PENANALWWQpLB4Ky
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAbkBxPHCArD
650Please respect copyright.PENANAwjGGiogqb6
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANANFWE1sqJrM
650Please respect copyright.PENANAjWW4ZnCw9m
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAs9QNRQDbbt
650Please respect copyright.PENANAOqQ8HTnaL7
"Hey, Sam?" I heard Jongup call me. "Are you asleep?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAbS6C7o99fy
650Please respect copyright.PENANA7KLPkDcQfR
"No," I answered. I drew my eyes open and looked at him. "What is it?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAcs1gyktbUx
650Please respect copyright.PENANAkxWT3StEiM
"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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAHInv8Kiesb
650Please respect copyright.PENANAsq3Df45Y8W
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAXZVY698A18
650Please respect copyright.PENANAOZtPh6kdMD
"I know," said Jongup. "You should see this previous one. It will knock your socks off."650Please respect copyright.PENANAagFrI54ycs
650Please respect copyright.PENANAYOpq2MMMKj
I joined Jongup in watching more cat videos. We soon moved on to watch people participate in various dance challenges.650Please respect copyright.PENANAQJuH4Gd4Fr
650Please respect copyright.PENANABERDTcWQNs
"We should've a dance challenge one day," I said to Jongup as we watched.650Please respect copyright.PENANAsMiG51l7C7
650Please respect copyright.PENANANSVJ0ZJFae
"Huh?" he turned to look at me. "We should've a dance challenge?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAWI54V9BEpz
650Please respect copyright.PENANAN47RhYVJqa
"Ya. I mean The Toxins vs BAP."650Please respect copyright.PENANAarSGUcAZVA
650Please respect copyright.PENANAWgQvKssK0x
"Oh..., like the one you had with Monsta X?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAUyvpVUkTnv
650Please respect copyright.PENANAUclfF6vm8Y
"Yes, like that one. You watched it?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAwdiiKNk9B4
650Please respect copyright.PENANAw6pEd5j2DT
"I think a lot of us did. People really liked it."650Please respect copyright.PENANArr4OInxEf5
650Please respect copyright.PENANAp7T6osK0X3
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAhaPctgqkTJ
650Please respect copyright.PENANA00xfitPmDV
"Oh, you've an album to work on."650Please respect copyright.PENANAVfTtV84w9N
650Please respect copyright.PENANAv6uLTytdnC
I stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Just thinking about it drains me." I went back to looking at his phone.650Please respect copyright.PENANAkgYbmx9B9A
650Please respect copyright.PENANAVaJka9iQXF
"Did I hear someone talk about having a dance challenge with BAP?" Zoey asked.650Please respect copyright.PENANAuLOpljalvg
650Please respect copyright.PENANAm00tbK0V2v
I raised my head a little and saw Zoey still on her phone.650Please respect copyright.PENANAegPcfSdNqG
650Please respect copyright.PENANAwwuUiEsMVx
"Yes, I said that," I said as I dropped my head and stared at Jongup's phone.650Please respect copyright.PENANAGP084TEdFx
650Please respect copyright.PENANATXeqjIFFrA
"Why not do so now?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAbLMfposIOx
650Please respect copyright.PENANAaGY2YfDHf1
"No!" Christine, Mike and I said out loud at the same time.650Please respect copyright.PENANAYy1GGrflJw
650Please respect copyright.PENANAPq4EYjTezn
"Eish, guys. It's why I asked. You don't have to eat me alive."650Please respect copyright.PENANAoWDwS46AB4
650Please respect copyright.PENANA6XeBfb3m5P
Himchan and the other BAP members around the table started to chuckle.650Please respect copyright.PENANAcmlR5U94f0
650Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4RtEmz9A6
"You Toxins really are something," said Himchan. "You do know that the majority of you opposed, right?"650Please respect copyright.PENANARkTnwgIJFH
650Please respect copyright.PENANApMVh9qh4M1
"Except Daniel," said Zelo.650Please respect copyright.PENANAI57x2XH2E3
650Please respect copyright.PENANA4jSlUprbzb
"Oh, I refuse too," said Daniel, still on his phone.650Please respect copyright.PENANA95xStkvkqZ
650Please respect copyright.PENANAqU46JW7bV4
Zoey tsked. "You guys are no fun."650Please respect copyright.PENANACP5sEWgZsf
650Please respect copyright.PENANAtILMkv4JNy
"Use logic, Zoey," said Christine. "We're all tired and don't have the energy for a dance challenge."650Please respect copyright.PENANA9ciA3eMgEg
650Please respect copyright.PENANAbmner1PNwj
"I know that. I thought maybe someone's in the mood for it."650Please respect copyright.PENANAzVhg09ghOJ
650Please respect copyright.PENANAxAEFjQkD0v
"No one is in the mood for it," said Mike.650Please respect copyright.PENANAwrer3h6uOd
650Please respect copyright.PENANA7vRqDlgZLz
"And what if the BAP members were?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAyEEaaYFyH3
650Please respect copyright.PENANA35Qgf5c1Yf
I heard Daehyun nervously chuckle. "To be honest, Zoey," he said, "I'm definitely not in the mood."650Please respect copyright.PENANA36m3yK4znV
650Please respect copyright.PENANAxheICjALCy
"Me too," said Young-jae.650Please respect copyright.PENANA98ZTrx48IN
650Please respect copyright.PENANAUENwMliGhc
"Me three," said Zelo.650Please respect copyright.PENANAhhwVdiMjF3
650Please respect copyright.PENANA7bbnrls70p
"Guess I don't have to ask you, Himchan," said Zoey, sounding unimpressed.650Please respect copyright.PENANAAnbth8J36g
650Please respect copyright.PENANAaYLb4gbSjT
Himchan, just like Daehyun, nervously chuckled too.650Please respect copyright.PENANAhxr15tDR9U
650Please respect copyright.PENANA1K0BO0uvyv
"You can ask Yong-guk," Zelo suggested.650Please respect copyright.PENANAEIAj2b1rze
650Please respect copyright.PENANAcUO2wCy1lZ
"Nah. He's already busy and I don't like to be a bother."650Please respect copyright.PENANAjnHeO435m9
650Please respect copyright.PENANAN7pBbeVwN0
"Really?" Mike asked. Uh-oh. I smell an argument brewing. "You bother a lot of us everyday."650Please respect copyright.PENANAewZpZ5kWxC
650Please respect copyright.PENANAjsx3xHdZjZ
"What did you say!?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAPXqoW1ofrp
650Please respect copyright.PENANAdeuZNtNKM9
"Quiet down, Zoey," said Christine. "You're disturbing Yong-nam. He's probably asleep."650Please respect copyright.PENANAAM5AmRF6iD
650Please respect copyright.PENANAP5uVMR4eGs
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAP4bNxOnrkW
650Please respect copyright.PENANAKiVI61ZrZS
"I bet he isn't," said Zoey. "Is he, Sam?"650Please respect copyright.PENANA5IZ12QbJBq
650Please respect copyright.PENANAKEF7GPkb9I
"Huh?" I got a little caught off guard as I didn't answer Zoey's question.650Please respect copyright.PENANAs8eU5bQeDE
650Please respect copyright.PENANAX8D7KxnfMi
"Is he awake?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAcQAzZiYEBP
650Please respect copyright.PENANAdy6X0AWMAA
"Not sure," I answered. "He would've said something if he was."650Please respect copyright.PENANAnFrFESVUsK
650Please respect copyright.PENANABxQk4KQsCX
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3caa6lB2f
650Please respect copyright.PENANA4G5RTjVuZ3
"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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAuyoq88OZdc
650Please respect copyright.PENANAIMFxf8G4WR
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "It's what you said, Mike. How am I a bother to you?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAZyyZQbVrUe
650Please respect copyright.PENANALVJEtfDiO2
"You're being a bother right now. I'm trying to rest and you're disturbing me."650Please respect copyright.PENANAeIExKK8k9h
650Please respect copyright.PENANA3fFGXM6y7n
Zoey hissed that I thought a snake had magically appeared in the room. If she was one, no doubt she would attack Mike first.650Please respect copyright.PENANAFEUnu9clCW
650Please respect copyright.PENANAtPg3qxtGw8
"Enough," said Christine. "No one wants to see or hear you two fight."650Please respect copyright.PENANAHID4bzXH33
650Please respect copyright.PENANAQoizV2ITTa
"Mike started it," said Zoey.650Please respect copyright.PENANA44qw0utvkV
650Please respect copyright.PENANA4FCWMubCB0
"You amplified it," said Mike. "You always do."650Please respect copyright.PENANAZpXas42W6Q
650Please respect copyright.PENANAVvgJ1Mfo4E
"For once I agree with Mike," I said. "Let it go, Zoey."650Please respect copyright.PENANAsxTcDMkrLF
650Please respect copyright.PENANAav9VbkWv87
"You guys are unbelievable," said Zoey.650Please respect copyright.PENANAUIjUE1n0bS
650Please respect copyright.PENANA91n1h0OEDY
"You're unbelievable," said Himchan as he chuckled. "You really are a drama queen. No offense."650Please respect copyright.PENANAlacQKeBCga
650Please respect copyright.PENANAamGM2KXqSI
"None taken. These guys call me that all the time."650Please respect copyright.PENANAAmGzSBfAqh
650Please respect copyright.PENANAmCmrTsAypA
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAM5mFb7dQk8
650Please respect copyright.PENANAx6BumAHKiW
I stretched out my arms and stood up, stretching my whole body.650Please respect copyright.PENANAC9Xx6IX4Dp
650Please respect copyright.PENANA1FC6VtFMjJ
"I've had enough of watching Instagram videos," I told Jongup.650Please respect copyright.PENANApTsgSYjPz3
650Please respect copyright.PENANAOvxc8hsvGd
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANA1NrMvXOLOG
650Please respect copyright.PENANAzHdXMYqtP8
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAXpBpWQeDce
650Please respect copyright.PENANAvUbme1qu1W
"Hey, there," I said to him when I got behind him. I bent over to look at him from the side of his face.650Please respect copyright.PENANA9Vkb414KpA
650Please respect copyright.PENANAVFWA3nMiY4
"Oh, Sam," he looked up at me, surprised. "I didn't hear you coming."650Please respect copyright.PENANAtq9rS1Fe9o
650Please respect copyright.PENANAvUWB2BKMV7
"I've cat feet," I said as I took the empty seat next to him.650Please respect copyright.PENANARHBXvEVMhm
650Please respect copyright.PENANAcQtHhBh0xx
"Cat feet?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAmgYt7UYf95
650Please respect copyright.PENANAL5GMQs90hs
"I'm told there are times when people don't hear me coming so they say I've cat feet. I sometimes scare them."650Please respect copyright.PENANAluI4N9RsTG
650Please respect copyright.PENANAjLXluFgodY
"Oh, I see."650Please respect copyright.PENANAp6nZZYaZHi
650Please respect copyright.PENANAn4peGYAPU3
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAPoV4OXXR1u
650Please respect copyright.PENANA04dO9O4qer
"I'll keep that in mind," said Yong-guk as he turned to smile at her.650Please respect copyright.PENANA6zdrPDaETY
650Please respect copyright.PENANAzUkAAgk5uL
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAGHW7V3S8aw
650Please respect copyright.PENANAU4idPoKCmL
"I'm not working on our song," said Yong-guk as he went to work on the laptop.650Please respect copyright.PENANATVUmDSY2IB
650Please respect copyright.PENANAaBQ0KLZo7k
"Then, what are you working on?" I raised my eyebrow at him.650Please respect copyright.PENANASAlokNurn7
650Please respect copyright.PENANAAUz70oTWv6
"On your song," he answered.650Please respect copyright.PENANAbNkGmMCr9F
650Please respect copyright.PENANAKezzZqgooC
"Huh?"650Please respect copyright.PENANACW55JvbbaM
650Please respect copyright.PENANAA4IceQ3NzD
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAVxmkGwvXfB
650Please respect copyright.PENANAMlx0t6DOYc
"Wow." I'm surprised. I didn't think Yong-guk would go this far. I didn't even know what to say.650Please respect copyright.PENANATEQp7JI0ZY
650Please respect copyright.PENANAKgWRE4qvpD
"Hey, are you okay, Sam?" Yong-guk asked.650Please respect copyright.PENANAvTBHvk6nnD
650Please respect copyright.PENANAUQ9uI0hNT3
I quickly turned to look at him. "Huh?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAPaGMdAPVYw
650Please respect copyright.PENANAe9SS5ZAXs2
"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?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAFjnq1neWzy
650Please respect copyright.PENANA8j6F0Khp01
I smiled at him. He really means it. There aren't many people in the world who are so thoughtful.650Please respect copyright.PENANAJO08d6B5HK
650Please respect copyright.PENANAqMMO3bY7ey
"I know what you mean. And no. I think there's no better person to work on it than you, Yong-guk."650Please respect copyright.PENANAxSzCJI5hr5
650Please respect copyright.PENANA1IqjjEQJr1
"Really?" He looked a little surprised with what I said.650Please respect copyright.PENANAPqBWyu8i4O
650Please respect copyright.PENANA43OkRKik2g
"Of course! Who would've thought we would've you helping us? It's actually really nice of you."650Please respect copyright.PENANAdaENSCHG6a
650Please respect copyright.PENANAtruYSYOXrB
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAVnUERMifdP
650Please respect copyright.PENANAsM7dclCyIg
"May I hear what you've done so far?" I asked.650Please respect copyright.PENANAjMDJ6hCQ4k
650Please respect copyright.PENANAWvSZ4UfgC3
"Ah..., sure," he said as he brought over the laptop closer.650Please respect copyright.PENANAan9osAtQMa
650Please respect copyright.PENANA8NMmiA19pu
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAv7fY3592F9
650Please respect copyright.PENANAxd8ZxWIRJJ
"Amazing," I looked at him with so much awe. "It's no wonder you're such a great producer."650Please respect copyright.PENANAgqGvbbRuFh
650Please respect copyright.PENANAdndYEvaDel
He chuckled. "Coming from you, that means a lot."650Please respect copyright.PENANAHZovL9kW78
650Please respect copyright.PENANATbl8FOjP8I
"The others should hear this." My ear twitched. "I know you're there, Mike."650Please respect copyright.PENANAGraguSMxOA
650Please respect copyright.PENANAUEgVKlCwoa
"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?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAhiJQa40UJY
650Please respect copyright.PENANAYrsKNEDdP4
"Because what you've ain't cat feet," I smirked at him. "You've to work a lot harder than that."650Please respect copyright.PENANAIVQiFXyTfP
650Please respect copyright.PENANA4I3xRjegrE
"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?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAe3kStNGgMJ
650Please respect copyright.PENANAz5YQTy7ymw
"This," I said as I pressed the play button on the laptop, playing out the instrumental for him.650Please respect copyright.PENANAPQFoQ2Sz2x
650Please respect copyright.PENANAupOXy6CUj9
"Wow," muttered Mike. "But wait..., why does this beat sound familiar?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAU4KStIywXU
650Please respect copyright.PENANASy9RMoucDh
"It's because it's the beat to our song, silly," I said to him.650Please respect copyright.PENANAgRn7ydsxWl
650Please respect copyright.PENANAOxvbbtV0up
"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?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAHm3t8iSM4R
650Please respect copyright.PENANAFRyxXhqe75
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAJKCjlJPlcH
650Please respect copyright.PENANA3nFXnuAsdE
"You're amazing," he said as he patted Yong-guk on the shoulder. "This song will be awesome."650Please respect copyright.PENANAHIZ9RNsTsn
650Please respect copyright.PENANAL69t6Ui5Ba
"Thanks," he said. "You should be thanking your sister, though."650Please respect copyright.PENANA98eBmWXQTp
650Please respect copyright.PENANAbnzSiMjf07
"Huh?" Mike and I looked pluzzled.650Please respect copyright.PENANAPZAQXcdN4e
650Please respect copyright.PENANAtxeC4kMj0Z
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAEDZ0rJ5evc
650Please respect copyright.PENANAl7O8lE4Gvz
"Oh...," I forgot he said that. Now it's my turn to blush, and Yong-guk smiled.650Please respect copyright.PENANAdfG88uvYUZ
650Please respect copyright.PENANAmdP8FWJIoU
"Ya, my sister is a genius," said Mike. "May I join you?"650Please respect copyright.PENANADiyXRoNx4L
650Please respect copyright.PENANAw0AVBn1n3r
"Sure," said Yong-guk. "With you two here, I bet we can work on it together."650Please respect copyright.PENANAB426M3U4nS
650Please respect copyright.PENANAAUGqDeyv5O
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANASr9eZy4Qug
650Please respect copyright.PENANAI02gNlDBx1
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAFyRnlZkhE9
650Please respect copyright.PENANAKWskOImfXk
"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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAXdXWtUC0nn
650Please respect copyright.PENANAjDfPKQ0vgm
"Alright, let's start," said Yong-guk.650Please respect copyright.PENANAbxZCFYsEg3
650Please respect copyright.PENANA6bCGvSzLPA
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANABsit6V6Dn7
650Please respect copyright.PENANAGsdGZc3tkp
"Hey, what's going on here?" Himchan asked as he came to join us.650Please respect copyright.PENANArJJmQZd9Zw
650Please respect copyright.PENANAESA7lpPG7J
"We're working on an instrumental," Mike answered.650Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3IPqq3L9M
650Please respect copyright.PENANA485AfwIWS6
"Which one?"650Please respect copyright.PENANA0QyE8epfbr
650Please respect copyright.PENANAeQdIT54GMm
"For our song," I answered. "You should hear it, it's really good."650Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZjhQnWlxn
650Please respect copyright.PENANAgszDHyo7yC
"Oh, I thought you had run out of ideas for the lyrics."650Please respect copyright.PENANAVolPbQ2qBn
650Please respect copyright.PENANAzAH52CesJt
"Well, I did. Maybe if I continue working on the instrumental, I might come up with them."650Please respect copyright.PENANAGZssqHUjKi
650Please respect copyright.PENANAXGFTMH4u0P
"How far have you gone doing so?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAX7Dp6HMouB
650Please respect copyright.PENANAJRfnvAhM0P
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAAxi1UI8DIv
650Please respect copyright.PENANAA6fk2MuCZT
"I agree," said Mike.650Please respect copyright.PENANAQhcv0yzl5p
650Please respect copyright.PENANAZxooyQxxFL
"And you're going to use this instrumental for your album?" Himchan asked.650Please respect copyright.PENANAKkrsdtT4Im
650Please respect copyright.PENANA6w6DRFYgx6
"Of course we're," I answered, looking back at him. I now understood why he asked and I winced.650Please respect copyright.PENANAfYz9pY7IfF
650Please respect copyright.PENANAkXtR5VW100
"What is it, Sam?" Mike asked.650Please respect copyright.PENANAe0HWpIT2Io
650Please respect copyright.PENANAIJvgge7JCv
"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?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAzaD7SfbRKw
650Please respect copyright.PENANAT90LJT3764
"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?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAhCEQO28lWz
650Please respect copyright.PENANAXzdmRtV4nG
"Collins may agree. But what about Yang Hyun-suk?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAsHCzKkIJB9
650Please respect copyright.PENANAPjhkZ6JL8I
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANA5j2lnbdQZe
650Please respect copyright.PENANA5h1a3plRlj
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAqrdku1CtEA
650Please respect copyright.PENANAmQWD5fDaUe
"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?"650Please respect copyright.PENANA6eFrvYdXiB
650Please respect copyright.PENANAFNnpBqb4tl
"This is your tune and melody, Sam. So, he can't refuse. I mean, the song we did with BigBang was all you too."650Please respect copyright.PENANAjRXIDitXxF
650Please respect copyright.PENANAohZlSzhmsP
"It was?" Yong-guk and Himchan asked at the same time.650Please respect copyright.PENANAwpBhDWzdr6
650Please respect copyright.PENANAbq0508oeLd
"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?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAcdCeYLMeH9
650Please respect copyright.PENANALizCuiEBnu
"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.650Please respect copyright.PENANADtmf43lGew
650Please respect copyright.PENANAvK7YmuVGBA
"Does this thing involving me always have to be highlighted?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAmYVf5oGbR9
650Please respect copyright.PENANAVhQBpysmcC
"Daa, yes! Out of all of us, Yang Hyun-suk approves of you the most. He'll definitely go through with it."650Please respect copyright.PENANAtpUAGybraV
650Please respect copyright.PENANAfExDRqo2rd
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAlkP9M8WOkr
650Please respect copyright.PENANAoQuCqNTtql
"Okay, if that's the case, than what of Yong-guk? Will he really help us through till the end?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAEWixllYPvB
650Please respect copyright.PENANA1HAvwZgEOb
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAqn2NWxZQnr
650Please respect copyright.PENANArUqSUv37Zs
"I'm right here, you guys," said Yong-guk in between Mike and me. "I can clearly hear you."650Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9nQJti05N
650Please respect copyright.PENANAEJteqnY6aL
Mike and I turned to look at him, then ignored him like he wasn't there. Himchan chuckled.650Please respect copyright.PENANALcUHKQHvhc
650Please respect copyright.PENANAMG1ObkbxbS
"You're right," I said. "He'll stay till the end. He's such a good friend for helping us out."650Please respect copyright.PENANA3WDK3msNz8
650Please respect copyright.PENANAn9CWS64xza
"I know right," Mike smiled. "He's awesome."650Please respect copyright.PENANAfSURdABvwD
650Please respect copyright.PENANAXfoFEz53Si
"I think you better focus on giving Collins a call, Sam," said Yong-guk, trying to sound serious, yet falling to do so.650Please respect copyright.PENANAgp5Xir6UUS
650Please respect copyright.PENANAhjEE7MTWWs
"Aww," Himchan complained. "Their conversation was just about to get more interesting."650Please respect copyright.PENANAMJcUusUcoW
650Please respect copyright.PENANAxxadUEw7Zr
I laughed. "He's just trying to hide the fact that he's blushing."650Please respect copyright.PENANA26DkluKbTy
650Please respect copyright.PENANAMIKJVrQ55L
"No, I'm not," said Yong-guk as he folded his arms and looked straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.650Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5gugt0IWG
650Please respect copyright.PENANA6exHRJ9BLh
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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7y4LMxXAy
650Please respect copyright.PENANASwIKr0afYD
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAnaekRLZhMe
650Please respect copyright.PENANAhRiljoNyGu
"I'll be back," I said as I tried to stop laughing. "You better not have that face when I get back, Yong-guk."650Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1VglPVN7V
650Please respect copyright.PENANA8xW5o0gr7N
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAh51CgCU2Dk
650Please respect copyright.PENANAXPLTGI5GNR
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAcWZfkHvLQh
650Please respect copyright.PENANAH260DHbKUC
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAzuMvsUJzBK
650Please respect copyright.PENANAcOhoSzRFQ9
Just when I'm about to cut the call, he picked up at the last minute.650Please respect copyright.PENANA2vy9UCe9NP
650Please respect copyright.PENANAqjJR2ttM0X
"Hi, Sam," came his voice. "How's song writing going?"650Please respect copyright.PENANA8sylehqlwi
650Please respect copyright.PENANAEFq4iUXCKx
"Not good, I'm afraid," I said as I scratched the back of my head wondering how to bring up the instrumental thing.650Please respect copyright.PENANAx2rEflcYA3
650Please respect copyright.PENANA2d6kldqECv
"You'll figure it out. You do have extra help, don't you?"650Please respect copyright.PENANA3ePX2wXtX1
650Please respect copyright.PENANAirNckO66Qb
"I see Lee told you about BAP."650Please respect copyright.PENANA0B6Z4RJcuA
650Please respect copyright.PENANAXOm3qMCYAK
"Well, she had to. So what can I do for you?"650Please respect copyright.PENANANvK1dU5Lpr
650Please respect copyright.PENANAlbexp3J42o
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAe18gbRvt6K
650Please respect copyright.PENANAWjQeqKxdgE
"You're already coming up with that?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAWsSk5o6M6j
650Please respect copyright.PENANAxhizvjCdxU
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."650Please respect copyright.PENANA7qIi0JU5TD
650Please respect copyright.PENANA1gHqfvDFOz
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAarW9ykp4op
650Please respect copyright.PENANABuPp2nq2cL
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAOXShIGqleS
650Please respect copyright.PENANAnU1QJJk27z
I knew it. I had to say something quick to convince him.650Please respect copyright.PENANAyYTyO4ke5h
650Please respect copyright.PENANAiF99TUhBWX
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAMkrys0H9ha
650Please respect copyright.PENANAVOQftLRXWL
"I believe you. But you know I'm not the only manager in this project of ours."650Please respect copyright.PENANAesCAaurP2m
650Please respect copyright.PENANAY0Opg4e1tI
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAieV3epG11M
650Please respect copyright.PENANACbhYmfe03V
"I don't have to talk to Yang Hyun-suk. He's right here with me. I put you on loud speaker."650Please respect copyright.PENANAj5Xpt98f0g
650Please respect copyright.PENANAfPTKCcevth
I swallowed as I stopped pacing and my heart did one huge beat that I felt my chest hurt.650Please respect copyright.PENANA8zLt7NPGae
650Please respect copyright.PENANAF3Rq4ee6c8
"Oh..., good afternoon, Yang Hyun-suk sarangnim," I said quickly, so as not to seem surprised.650Please respect copyright.PENANA6tORePaMI3
650Please respect copyright.PENANAu4BRsmvlb4
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANA3LqfYWoE0U
650Please respect copyright.PENANAfsQZYP4ORs
"And what do you think?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAsrxaa3bP2y
650Please respect copyright.PENANAv7d0GiBVbh
"Well..., as much as the idea sounds tempting, I would actually refuse."650Please respect copyright.PENANA9X2nvbeaCU
650Please respect copyright.PENANASgsJEobkWU
My heart sank. I told myself it was worth a try anyway.650Please respect copyright.PENANA9W2zvvKXvG
650Please respect copyright.PENANAB727qTdwYu
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAyFnryRoJOp
650Please respect copyright.PENANAqFsLWlRIhv
"Really!" I cried out in excitement. I can't believe he actually agreed.650Please respect copyright.PENANAta1Zs7Hopo
650Please respect copyright.PENANAHi9YwfbfDu
"Let's not forget that we're the ones that have the final say. If it's good, then we will proceed."650Please respect copyright.PENANA5c4XlnkEPt
650Please respect copyright.PENANAX3N8MyEJax
"Thank you!" I said with so much excitement. I could hear the two managers chuckle to themselves. "I promise you won't be disappointed."650Please respect copyright.PENANA5fOaLBJ9fj
650Please respect copyright.PENANArsgQb82kfa
"Make us proud, Sam," said Collins. "I hope you'll be able to come up with lyrics."650Please respect copyright.PENANAWVVYZjLJiP
650Please respect copyright.PENANAJvOKpLrIdA
"I will. Thank you once again."650Please respect copyright.PENANAt2ycH9NbuV
650Please respect copyright.PENANALWsqDdfGMo
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAfWhsxExxRh
650Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3vf3zYlQd
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAERP58hOJbR
650Please respect copyright.PENANAnxwQLpjSUy
"What's the news?" Mike asked as he looked at me.650Please respect copyright.PENANAGGyi6Vnmhw
650Please respect copyright.PENANAmH8BV6z8sz
"I hope it's good," said Himchan.650Please respect copyright.PENANAvtNAn7W3ad
650Please respect copyright.PENANAlUl3mP13VK
"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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAmKjBQl6R67
650Please respect copyright.PENANACNWVNgpxqb
"They agreed," I answered.650Please respect copyright.PENANAMTas7sTPWg
650Please respect copyright.PENANA1YGqaIGSpK
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAxg1G7ZayuB
650Please respect copyright.PENANAS7ijxETYhS
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAbMmPomPyE8
650Please respect copyright.PENANA6rNN05Iwpb
"Ya, I'm also anxious to know what you're all talking about," said Daehyun.650Please respect copyright.PENANAYoU5xUKqUC
650Please respect copyright.PENANAPPQlIz78ti
"Me too," said Zoey. "What did I miss?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAD4o0n31G7t
650Please respect copyright.PENANA8Qa1KPDxGx
"A lot," I answered.650Please respect copyright.PENANA9p1T9QIQOw
650Please respect copyright.PENANAbPJhStKa3p
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAcOQpjkNEVc
650Please respect copyright.PENANASXOyQTIMD5
"Wow, that's awesome," said Zelo.650Please respect copyright.PENANAkTzxtse5Ua
650Please respect copyright.PENANA9EY6O0PXri
"You see how the managers just love you, Sam?" Mike asked.650Please respect copyright.PENANAg3cnYQGncI
650Please respect copyright.PENANAwGdjBT0rva
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAZzVrdI8nVS
650Please respect copyright.PENANADMJrbuMuPZ
"But for them to agree its because they know Yong-guk is an awesome producer," said Himchan. "No doubt it will be lit."650Please respect copyright.PENANANSzaYN5Chr
650Please respect copyright.PENANA0RLOgNcJY5
"I agree with Himchan," said Zoey. "And besides, it's more of Sam's original, so they can't say no."650Please respect copyright.PENANA7HRtJYKaBH
650Please respect copyright.PENANAhoV8IHitY7
"Okay, we just need to focus on the instrumental and hopefully come up with the lyrics," I said.650Please respect copyright.PENANAeJuRHtM9Pv
650Please respect copyright.PENANAi0o29b4FVd
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANA6wt6pu97k2
650Please respect copyright.PENANALNCu6NTaMb
"Okay," I said as I rubbed my hands together. "Toxins, get over here by the console, please."650Please respect copyright.PENANAa9wNFmbgAp
650Please respect copyright.PENANAYovWuVnDFa
"Okay," said Christine and Zoey as they both stood up from the couch and quickly came over.650Please respect copyright.PENANAxndz8GiESR
650Please respect copyright.PENANAJQLygl8Xqz
"We will be here to help in anyway we can," said Young-jae.650Please respect copyright.PENANAxi5HAkSBJ0
650Please respect copyright.PENANAP7vqJpUxxt
"Thanks, guys," I said with a smile. I went over to sit back on my chair next to Yong-guk.650Please respect copyright.PENANAT959ds4BVc
650Please respect copyright.PENANANFw5xKi7mw
"Okay," said Yong-guk. "Let's continue where we ended, shall we?"
