"Okay, so here are the lyrics for the song," I said after writing them down.602Please respect copyright.PENANAGTMd3ziS4H
602Please respect copyright.PENANA0tD6LoCG1Z
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5t588BhgV
602Please respect copyright.PENANA2h2kH1lTLG
"Just admit it," said Zoey, "the song is awesome."602Please respect copyright.PENANAc5XFXyIqL3
602Please respect copyright.PENANAyhTZZ22mMB
"Zoey." Christine gave her a look that told her to keep quiet. "Let the others take it in first."602Please respect copyright.PENANAJANr4X7a6j
602Please respect copyright.PENANAXJvcjkGtc2
"Zoey's right," said Daehyun. "The lyrics are great."602Please respect copyright.PENANAmxOxpyYRJb
602Please respect copyright.PENANAN3aZ4jPeoO
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANA8qn6uvT4RH
602Please respect copyright.PENANA64aAOCguDM
"You should listen to the tune," said Mike. "You'll love it."602Please respect copyright.PENANAOzZrELgZfW
602Please respect copyright.PENANAqJDPVWsxmn
"I bet that's why you went searching for the guitar," said Jongup as he looked at me.602Please respect copyright.PENANANtxo0FlvzA
602Please respect copyright.PENANArWVjRnsqzV
"Play the guitar, Sam," Himchan insisted. "We're all dying to hear it. I bet Yong-guk can't wait any longer."602Please respect copyright.PENANArI69xpc3BJ
602Please respect copyright.PENANA5lDqQEaN8Q
"Huh?" Yong-guk looked at Himchan beside him, looking confused. "No, I'm not."602Please respect copyright.PENANAs0BP168uRo
602Please respect copyright.PENANARpLOqti1ko
"Of course you are," said Yong-nam as he gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "Don't forget, I'm your twin."602Please respect copyright.PENANAig7LxSiFGW
602Please respect copyright.PENANAo3yFMABMAS
"Okay," I said as I took the guitar that had been laying on the table the whole time. "Let me play it, then."602Please respect copyright.PENANADZiF1Ll4WF
602Please respect copyright.PENANAAVb1rBG6I0
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAzFE4ocnYEb
602Please respect copyright.PENANAGINpriodot
"Wow," said Young-jae, looking at me like he's just seen something's dazzled him. "The song's going to sound awesome."602Please respect copyright.PENANAfn1XSBl91J
602Please respect copyright.PENANASJYaG9W48l
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANALPIE1AxvoX
602Please respect copyright.PENANAIqv0ZXHN2V
"Alright," said Yong-guk, looking to see what I was writing on the paper. "Whatever it is, I bet we can handle it."602Please respect copyright.PENANAOCM3E6S1Xz
602Please respect copyright.PENANAoAqrO7mmG3
"Can't wait to see you try," said Christine. "But then again, if it's you two l'm not worried."602Please respect copyright.PENANA5Fr7NWFEHs
602Please respect copyright.PENANAajGzCIrPjp
"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.602Please respect copyright.PENANANuj1kbLE6R
602Please respect copyright.PENANAN5MK2PPID1
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANACjg0vZy6Dg
602Please respect copyright.PENANASCPW214T67
"Come on, Jongup," Zelo complained. "You're distracting Sam. We all want to hear what she has written."602Please respect copyright.PENANAGkk6cJPPEK
602Please respect copyright.PENANAZ66BBaU9K0
"I don't think that I'm distracting her," said Jongup as he looked at Zelo. "Right, Sam?"602Please respect copyright.PENANACiGuCJ222b
602Please respect copyright.PENANA8YAz4ebjyR
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAH1FXbBWZV4
602Please respect copyright.PENANAaxxjAJdR2R
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANA63OXo52pIZ
602Please respect copyright.PENANAb9afWNCZJa
"What's wrong, Sam?" he asked.602Please respect copyright.PENANApfQ27fPG4X
602Please respect copyright.PENANAFfl0bLcb4o
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANA7qItk1fLSD
602Please respect copyright.PENANAFjfcL2ocPU
"Goodness, Jongup," said Mike, "you almost kissed my sister."602Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ak4b36f8r
602Please respect copyright.PENANAduMcweQVrr
And it just had to be Mike. Goodness, me!602Please respect copyright.PENANAXVaE3Moilf
602Please respect copyright.PENANATWQsplEh45
"Huh?" Jongup looked surprised. "I did?"602Please respect copyright.PENANALleaIuahhE
602Please respect copyright.PENANA2TTcr9tq46
"And you were this close," said Zoey indicating a tiny space with her index finger and thumb.602Please respect copyright.PENANA8HRJ9AAdpd
602Please respect copyright.PENANAAJfU3RtRna
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANApYsMGjlL7n
602Please respect copyright.PENANAdJAyv67xGk
"You see, I told you so," said Zelo.602Please respect copyright.PENANA9ckm1caRAQ
602Please respect copyright.PENANAyVg6AaQYwJ
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAUlbvYTo1w8
602Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZhtuOT8AX
Yong-nam cleared his throat. "Not at all," he answered. "You're actually pretty light."602Please respect copyright.PENANAojwDxaSP3t
602Please respect copyright.PENANAsVRfGWzQO4
I nervously laughed, not sure whether he meant it or not.602Please respect copyright.PENANAuhQMZJg5LT
602Please respect copyright.PENANAJswA1h7K5a
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAJvxPRoChmY
602Please respect copyright.PENANAWNfaOU09UY
"You're such a fantasist, Zoey," said Daniel as he shook his head.602Please respect copyright.PENANAr7eFcoIFEL
602Please respect copyright.PENANAXnWMhtfl8X
"Don't mind her," I said. "Can we forget the kissing incident and focus on the song, please?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAdlJibvT21v
602Please respect copyright.PENANAEOpbURAkD6
"Sure," said Mike. "That's if we can reset Zoey's brain or else she won't stop talking about it."602Please respect copyright.PENANAK4hg80nO1p
602Please respect copyright.PENANATiKpoDCJpG
"Are you saying that I'm kookoo?" Zoey asked, looking at Mike.602Please respect copyright.PENANAjL0VPDB3SF
602Please respect copyright.PENANA8LJgIeN8Wz
"You can argue later, you two," I said, giving them a look. "Let's try and focus."602Please respect copyright.PENANAVvzooMQ4h2
602Please respect copyright.PENANAQuNoe6NTve
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANA90OqOHDy7X
602Please respect copyright.PENANA58VY1TIDYC
"Is it just me or something's just off?" Young-jae asked.602Please respect copyright.PENANAHq7o9pL65d
602Please respect copyright.PENANAVkGE9nZ2t8
"I think I feel what you mean," said Zoey as she scratched her head.602Please respect copyright.PENANA4Cfl1IIY7d
602Please respect copyright.PENANAWRInYG0d0y
"Huh? What's Zoey saying?" Himchan asked.602Please respect copyright.PENANA9MsDS7piov
602Please respect copyright.PENANA77lDhGzxY6
"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.602Please respect copyright.PENANA2MpqUVwBh4
602Please respect copyright.PENANAoivnkKfbhh
"I feel we aren't working like we did the first time," said Christine.602Please respect copyright.PENANA0PrukGu8qI
602Please respect copyright.PENANA7ShBqBTlYU
"Ya, that's what I meant," said Zoey.602Please respect copyright.PENANAoDLjk233on
602Please respect copyright.PENANACzbpl8l2oy
"We just aren't coming up with the right lyrics," said Yong-guk, "that's all."602Please respect copyright.PENANATrYL791AFr
602Please respect copyright.PENANAby7oCi17lv
"Why is that?" Himchan asked.602Please respect copyright.PENANAn5SWOtMXFM
602Please respect copyright.PENANAEYJuvjhbyf
"Who knows," said Daniel. "What do you think, Sam?"602Please respect copyright.PENANApfNo08P8f0
602Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6tqtUmLO9
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAROzdtiNK8m
602Please respect copyright.PENANA9o4BIxbufx
"You look like you're about to cry, Sam," said Jongup.602Please respect copyright.PENANA8zZUL3H6PY
602Please respect copyright.PENANApDygpqe1IW
"Don't mind me," I said. "I'm frustrated that we're going nowhere."602Please respect copyright.PENANA3uRqYHLpZZ
602Please respect copyright.PENANA1Gf2GASMXu
"Maybe we're all just tired," said Zelo.602Please respect copyright.PENANAGrEzGGd9ht
602Please respect copyright.PENANA5bllb3vGgT
"I felt we rested enough," said Daehyun.602Please respect copyright.PENANAJH0ADzcSiU
602Please respect copyright.PENANAak1DdV2ZNK
"Or maybe we've been in the same place for too long," I suggested. "Sometimes the environment contributes greatly."602Please respect copyright.PENANAUPqYRktXF8
602Please respect copyright.PENANAhR9w7j2lWg
"Maybe," said Yong-guk.602Please respect copyright.PENANALD3NEAhHWx
602Please respect copyright.PENANAebJdGzrm3f
"What do you think, Yong-nam?" Christine asked as she turned to look at him.602Please respect copyright.PENANAfgtK4KZKKr
602Please respect copyright.PENANARKL1JEOP8r
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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAWPDuwvU8H6
602Please respect copyright.PENANAzQWPHcTjJq
"Tomorrow?" Daniel looked shocked at the idea. "Won't that be a little too late for us?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAD3Xg7TtFq9
602Please respect copyright.PENANAKXxOfeiajK
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAaMg2aYtrUt
602Please respect copyright.PENANAM2iQ9bVACn
"Not forgetting that we should at least have something to present to Yang Hyun-suk," said Zoey.602Please respect copyright.PENANAGVFDtvd5gu
602Please respect copyright.PENANA5otarL4kNX
"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.602Please respect copyright.PENANA0Re0JKLsvc
602Please respect copyright.PENANAK0nv047mGK
"Now I wish we never had to make an album," said Zoey as she leaned back on the chair and sighed.602Please respect copyright.PENANAqLZ3I7u4ZD
602Please respect copyright.PENANA98fmGzhf1q
"Wow, you guys are working on an album?" Jongup asked.602Please respect copyright.PENANA2nGojY479N
602Please respect copyright.PENANASjamPkgzKb
"Yep," I answered as I lifted my face up from my hands. "Our managers are ambitious."602Please respect copyright.PENANAXwbyRNZShp
602Please respect copyright.PENANARETIE5O0Ev
"At least we don't have to worry about the other songs," said Zoey.602Please respect copyright.PENANAo2gAlvhyD2
602Please respect copyright.PENANA6fMJfe4Kgt
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAtmVyRWQKvo
602Please respect copyright.PENANA1Zg6KbSFBC
"I think we should take a little break," said Yong-nam.602Please respect copyright.PENANAmXGsKkt79s
602Please respect copyright.PENANAvePUOBetb2
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?602Please respect copyright.PENANAS5VKCg5Rjg
602Please respect copyright.PENANAdgIOoB4sRc
"You're scaring me, Sam," I heard Yong-guk say.602Please respect copyright.PENANAdDDzZATlei
602Please respect copyright.PENANAYHKg7abwoH
"Oh, don't mind her," said Zoey. "She started this and finding a way to finish it is frustrating."602Please respect copyright.PENANAPwKwiZrvpt
602Please respect copyright.PENANA6PasFgzLRG
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAbpA8cFgfGI
602Please respect copyright.PENANArFYZBa7AnA
"Wait..., does this mean we won't have the reward Lee was talking about?" I heard Daniel ask.602Please respect copyright.PENANAYzm777GUIy
602Please respect copyright.PENANAnP6Z9z2GHq
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAdg4FqBJVlM
602Please respect copyright.PENANAdYtvnqR5wa
"Don't worry about that, Daniel," I said. "Lee will give us that reward."602Please respect copyright.PENANAzldXZahEmt
602Please respect copyright.PENANABzhNVUq2HE
"For someone who seems tired, you sound pretty confident," said Himchan.602Please respect copyright.PENANAVvVCsSIQAg
602Please respect copyright.PENANA2HoBQWGq5a
"I just know." I smiled at him as I shrugged my shoulders.602Please respect copyright.PENANAtGXJFnUole
602Please respect copyright.PENANA9LhHMP3Tmc
"Do you've any idea what it could be?" Daniel asked.602Please respect copyright.PENANA4PCMMJrdJz
602Please respect copyright.PENANAnf231aDlYh
I shook my head. It's best it turns out as a surprise.602Please respect copyright.PENANAW7IJGNNEUB
602Please respect copyright.PENANAh7JOYhaMyV
"So, what are we going to do now?" Zelo asked. "Just sit and do nothing?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAKxLvnc0a4m
602Please respect copyright.PENANAcjZmaCchDv
"We can do something fun to pass the time," Christine suggested.602Please respect copyright.PENANAM5o7dVE0O1
602Please respect copyright.PENANAbRAcOThAEZ
"Not me," I went back to lying down on the floor.602Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZaiHAaHDq
602Please respect copyright.PENANA3N57nFfZOz
No one said a word. I could feel a few eyes on me, while others, I'm guessing, gave each other looks.602Please respect copyright.PENANAnnAIq3Xunr
602Please respect copyright.PENANAe0tr4qrdcX
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "You're such a party pooper."602Please respect copyright.PENANAm3aE8aIt9r
602Please respect copyright.PENANAYrMybDaW2X
"Haven't heard you call me that in a while," I said as I smiled at the ceiling.602Please respect copyright.PENANAWJTQ8Z8pNn
602Please respect copyright.PENANAMAEzX9bFvc
"Get up, will you? This is no time to be lying down."602Please respect copyright.PENANAxEwxNEbTHw
602Please respect copyright.PENANAMgOC7XpLRU
"There's nothing wrong with lying down to rest, is there?"602Please respect copyright.PENANA5W8utgZ9C8
602Please respect copyright.PENANAZCVBKANUYu
"Goodness, me." Zoey sounded frustrated. She couldn't argue over that and she knew it.602Please respect copyright.PENANAuflHh33Tkp
602Please respect copyright.PENANAdeSTYu9a9s
"Maybe we should call Lee to pick us up," Mike suggested.602Please respect copyright.PENANAIQWFvk3Xhi
602Please respect copyright.PENANAwhOJmQ8qmf
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANACvWUfCVRx5
602Please respect copyright.PENANAG6WtH5V6nY
I heard Zelo and Daehyun chuckle while I heard Christine and Zoey mutter out in frustration.602Please respect copyright.PENANAm9GzYnZefP
602Please respect copyright.PENANA1HrE02vAL3
"Looks like you're stuck here with us until Lee comes to pick you up," I heard Yong-guk say.602Please respect copyright.PENANAavofaVzGmy
602Please respect copyright.PENANArg5lNyQapR
"But we can't sit here doing nothing," said Daniel. "Like Christine said, we better find something to do."602Please respect copyright.PENANA89Jiw3BX3I
602Please respect copyright.PENANApqukahWEw1
"You should be resting," I suggested, my eyes still closed.602Please respect copyright.PENANAYGThGaQmyV
602Please respect copyright.PENANAD9xqp2spd9
"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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAHqInCk778a
602Please respect copyright.PENANA4ahddm2Tzm
I smiled. "Suit yourself."602Please respect copyright.PENANA5EEXsqfIiM
602Please respect copyright.PENANAbMMlzwjoQz
"No one wants to do karaoke in the recording booth?" Jongup suggested.602Please respect copyright.PENANAMiAMso0kbg
602Please respect copyright.PENANAU3Tef7v2M3
"I think we've done enough singing for one day," said Daehyun.602Please respect copyright.PENANAUVF6JCjwNa
602Please respect copyright.PENANAEpOjga8E4n
"I agree," said Zoey.602Please respect copyright.PENANA6M1ZfkEGsB
602Please respect copyright.PENANAKMV5CilzEx
"If there's clearly nothing to do, then I think we should be resting like Sam's doing right now," said Yong-guk.602Please respect copyright.PENANAcxrjPFnPLs
602Please respect copyright.PENANAQFbgN1OXrU
"I like your thinking," I said with my eyes closed. I raised my hand to give him a thumbs up.602Please respect copyright.PENANAYygx1UROzy
602Please respect copyright.PENANAX15r53xtAe
"You songwriters all think the same," I heard Christine mutter.602Please respect copyright.PENANA6I77Z8rGrf
602Please respect copyright.PENANAi3AXloBsB3
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANARmcNG14CY0
602Please respect copyright.PENANAyYIQu7wmJF
"Huh? Not you too, Mike," said Zoey, sounding surprised.602Please respect copyright.PENANAFnDVeX9Wq9
602Please respect copyright.PENANAlIAvd97H7I
"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?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAzLA1WWZH4h
602Please respect copyright.PENANAOO85qGofFa
"I shouldn't be surprised coming from you."602Please respect copyright.PENANAP9A6PIOZ2s
602Please respect copyright.PENANAacXBlUBjZ5
"Ya, ya, ya, Zoey. I'm the bad guy here. Doesn't matter now, does it?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAiHM5AMuv5S
602Please respect copyright.PENANANdO2FqcwSW
"Well, if there's nothing for you guys to do at the moment, then I'm going to work on something," said Yong-guk.602Please respect copyright.PENANAe5OKBFPvZO
602Please respect copyright.PENANA9UTd5CZMWi
"And what could that be?" Young-jae asked.602Please respect copyright.PENANAiVrU9XsoM1
602Please respect copyright.PENANAbPUsjE413y
"Our song, of course."602Please respect copyright.PENANAFP7Ab2OO4R
602Please respect copyright.PENANA6qhKNZjHbx
"You go ahead and do that," I said.602Please respect copyright.PENANAJQNcusXfBD
602Please respect copyright.PENANAdEJuuYmeHN
There came an awkward pause and I opened one eye to look at him.602Please respect copyright.PENANA3GfihueGC6
602Please respect copyright.PENANADrUvquU1U3
"You look surprised, Yong-guk," said Yong-nam. He took the words right out of my mouth.602Please respect copyright.PENANAlFQc1R9Mzk
602Please respect copyright.PENANA2XBxYhCUpr
"I thought that would get Sam up from the floor since she seems to really like helping out," said Yong-guk.602Please respect copyright.PENANAk82zXZnOZJ
602Please respect copyright.PENANA0a21rjAleH
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANARcFyBp1tdB
602Please respect copyright.PENANAam4SuVTDNR
"Okay, then," said Yong-guk. "And you, Mike?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAquy7IdzrgB
602Please respect copyright.PENANA7TBtYiOudx
"I'll pass too," said Mike.602Please respect copyright.PENANAgWkSqoNchl
602Please respect copyright.PENANAYdIy3ZYJLg
"Okay. I'll be by the console. Any of you guys want to join me?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAkIW3AzFNtU
602Please respect copyright.PENANAlDGfq3UHAa
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAQogyjecRqZ
602Please respect copyright.PENANAspfzEFCE7G
"I'm going to relax over here too," said Young-jae.602Please respect copyright.PENANApfqSBwIV83
602Please respect copyright.PENANAzrXZx05Oiw
"What's up with everyone?" Yong-guk asked, sounding surprised.602Please respect copyright.PENANAaYUKPk1rZq
602Please respect copyright.PENANAM1oOTWFJQA
"Like Yong-nam said, we're tired," I said as I sat up. "The best thing to do right now is relax."602Please respect copyright.PENANApRCSKgbobz
602Please respect copyright.PENANAMeb6Anm85i
"Aren't you worried about not making progress on your song?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAKjwaBPJu7s
602Please respect copyright.PENANAtRDa5ezhG2
"I was about to ask the same question," said Zoey with a sulky look on her face. 602Please respect copyright.PENANAz1VPc7fUrQ
602Please respect copyright.PENANAH2uARjSlUU
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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAJLaGPl3OWy
602Please respect copyright.PENANAsmgjchvuA5
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANArRUkKazULL
602Please respect copyright.PENANANvCfkYobSR
"You of all people shouldn't even be sleeping," said Yong-guk.602Please respect copyright.PENANAK3cIW0Zfrs
602Please respect copyright.PENANADeFGzLcUUq
I laughed. As much as I wanted to hear these two brothers argue, it ended there. I went back to sleeping on the floor.602Please respect copyright.PENANARzAJF0cOEC
602Please respect copyright.PENANAFfx9fD8GtE
"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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAcpcg8BBbff
602Please respect copyright.PENANAv3WcT61SxD
"Looks like the majority wins," said Himchan as he chuckled.602Please respect copyright.PENANA90Wl9r3JqM
602Please respect copyright.PENANA5ru0KxLWs0
Zoey mourned in frustration. Even I could tell she's tired. She had no choice but to give in.602Please respect copyright.PENANAEj78WHmLst
602Please respect copyright.PENANA4VOtVdx1Zg
"Oh, man!" Daniel muttered out loud.602Please respect copyright.PENANAMQagYfuKz5
602Please respect copyright.PENANAwQ0YsMIRAu
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAG1StymLoA7
602Please respect copyright.PENANAYrF2YhJB43
"Sorry, guys," he said. He quickly looked up from his phone when he noticed people's eyes on him. "Playing a game over here."602Please respect copyright.PENANAaVT7rh41EZ
602Please respect copyright.PENANAOzBwVkuEFv
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAIRKZzaaJPs
602Please respect copyright.PENANAptskpI5Jv0
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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAjxKhUf1ANl
602Please respect copyright.PENANAjCPg6Au9ns
"I think I'll have a little shut-eye," said Christine.602Please respect copyright.PENANAX8XjLf8d3i
602Please respect copyright.PENANA4OvyIWaOe2
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAkP8eJPG0mG
602Please respect copyright.PENANA2DxLT2e07i
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAdyfwu4mtWr
602Please respect copyright.PENANApWprHwm80L
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAu1z2tBQKSZ
602Please respect copyright.PENANAcvoH8SlgQn
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANATX4qUsI7OI
602Please respect copyright.PENANAlj8dsD97OJ
"Hey, Sam?" I heard Jongup call me. "Are you asleep?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAnGUpv816nN
602Please respect copyright.PENANA17uHEWKMy3
"No," I answered. I drew my eyes open and looked at him. "What is it?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAgUB01ExGbh
602Please respect copyright.PENANADxzbg17H9J
"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.602Please respect copyright.PENANA0migKd989i
602Please respect copyright.PENANAWSLz2kNm4o
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAtuR2CUKU9w
602Please respect copyright.PENANAMG8brKX2SG
"I know," said Jongup. "You should see this previous one. It will knock your socks off."602Please respect copyright.PENANAq5yIuWJiTW
602Please respect copyright.PENANArprDGgRpII
I joined Jongup in watching more cat videos. We soon moved on to watch people participate in various dance challenges.602Please respect copyright.PENANA3BLILMu3vH
602Please respect copyright.PENANACw4HhbAxUo
"We should've a dance challenge one day," I said to Jongup as we watched.602Please respect copyright.PENANAk6YPITZClt
602Please respect copyright.PENANAT3RzXUlSMt
"Huh?" he turned to look at me. "We should've a dance challenge?"602Please respect copyright.PENANASScNpJ7x1S
602Please respect copyright.PENANAaaBKprk2go
"Ya. I mean The Toxins vs BAP."602Please respect copyright.PENANADTDKKaXk5M
602Please respect copyright.PENANALy46wHXYZB
"Oh..., like the one you had with Monsta X?"602Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ue1ir6Y3m
602Please respect copyright.PENANAy0W4rC9GqS
"Yes, like that one. You watched it?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAkbpH6NwmpT
602Please respect copyright.PENANAg1aBnEOhpv
"I think a lot of us did. People really liked it."602Please respect copyright.PENANAgbzcWnKcF1
602Please respect copyright.PENANA3dMpqSCAFh
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAdoGukgewjr
602Please respect copyright.PENANAKpbKDtv7Gn
"Oh, you've an album to work on."602Please respect copyright.PENANAoPetxP1cpI
602Please respect copyright.PENANAgD0H71rhnG
I stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Just thinking about it drains me." I went back to looking at his phone.602Please respect copyright.PENANAEXci5u7dQR
602Please respect copyright.PENANABKXnDWmEkk
"Did I hear someone talk about having a dance challenge with BAP?" Zoey asked.602Please respect copyright.PENANASmzm9leVr1
602Please respect copyright.PENANAUJJDdoZUj5
I raised my head a little and saw Zoey still on her phone.602Please respect copyright.PENANAcTzrJ38bQ9
602Please respect copyright.PENANAKRbB3goeiy
"Yes, I said that," I said as I dropped my head and stared at Jongup's phone.602Please respect copyright.PENANA9F3aCaAzoM
602Please respect copyright.PENANAd1Dce9nEof
"Why not do so now?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAzt0rmtHacK
602Please respect copyright.PENANAUyMfOBCscn
"No!" Christine, Mike and I said out loud at the same time.602Please respect copyright.PENANAuHaa8NWI9i
602Please respect copyright.PENANAWIoGUQideJ
"Eish, guys. It's why I asked. You don't have to eat me alive."602Please respect copyright.PENANAIzfM1SX6m1
602Please respect copyright.PENANA6l9TabVVA4
Himchan and the other BAP members around the table started to chuckle.602Please respect copyright.PENANAOfdEsJ1akL
602Please respect copyright.PENANAVnGGl19x1F
"You Toxins really are something," said Himchan. "You do know that the majority of you opposed, right?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAOWEdasW3nR
602Please respect copyright.PENANAlX6TqXTrQy
"Except Daniel," said Zelo.602Please respect copyright.PENANAurVuWdzuww
602Please respect copyright.PENANAOaeqFjyaDI
"Oh, I refuse too," said Daniel, still on his phone.602Please respect copyright.PENANAAfkNNYoSCE
602Please respect copyright.PENANAdpvAzPXw9p
Zoey tsked. "You guys are no fun."602Please respect copyright.PENANAcyRgHVTJaj
602Please respect copyright.PENANAdxV85sUeEN
"Use logic, Zoey," said Christine. "We're all tired and don't have the energy for a dance challenge."602Please respect copyright.PENANAzV4eXL2byi
602Please respect copyright.PENANALaS6CeJzz5
"I know that. I thought maybe someone's in the mood for it."602Please respect copyright.PENANAb1ElU2zqbP
602Please respect copyright.PENANAQftKeZKaTq
"No one is in the mood for it," said Mike.602Please respect copyright.PENANAKXjL3fNzpe
602Please respect copyright.PENANAxxFQkpUmnO
"And what if the BAP members were?"602Please respect copyright.PENANACk4S1AbWNf
602Please respect copyright.PENANA5imD9I8P2P
I heard Daehyun nervously chuckle. "To be honest, Zoey," he said, "I'm definitely not in the mood."602Please respect copyright.PENANAl9SDpftCZk
602Please respect copyright.PENANAAPGpL0k9xL
"Me too," said Young-jae.602Please respect copyright.PENANAYVqtcU1U3J
602Please respect copyright.PENANA8ww1GXsGLp
"Me three," said Zelo.602Please respect copyright.PENANAZfJv5R11zn
602Please respect copyright.PENANADqftZzRZYw
"Guess I don't have to ask you, Himchan," said Zoey, sounding unimpressed.602Please respect copyright.PENANAjMwZ2Wd7b5
602Please respect copyright.PENANAv3CpIxZ2vQ
Himchan, just like Daehyun, nervously chuckled too.602Please respect copyright.PENANAvuCdGEPyag
602Please respect copyright.PENANAjS5ziU0jtL
"You can ask Yong-guk," Zelo suggested.602Please respect copyright.PENANAGTtjGN3Ljm
602Please respect copyright.PENANAOBz7eidEvK
"Nah. He's already busy and I don't like to be a bother."602Please respect copyright.PENANAyzFriLCB6Y
602Please respect copyright.PENANA9mz46iLugV
"Really?" Mike asked. Uh-oh. I smell an argument brewing. "You bother a lot of us everyday."602Please respect copyright.PENANAwvpMp7NB1s
602Please respect copyright.PENANAjVwZiijL3G
"What did you say!?"602Please respect copyright.PENANACsv8bTtNow
602Please respect copyright.PENANA5Q1LUXWlpU
"Quiet down, Zoey," said Christine. "You're disturbing Yong-nam. He's probably asleep."602Please respect copyright.PENANA5OdgG8D2L4
602Please respect copyright.PENANAQ54WfA8TUH
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAcHhgX47HTZ
602Please respect copyright.PENANAL577ae7EQk
"I bet he isn't," said Zoey. "Is he, Sam?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAHFyJxyCvlq
602Please respect copyright.PENANAbPzBtFXdpw
"Huh?" I got a little caught off guard as I didn't answer Zoey's question.602Please respect copyright.PENANAC7w1IXp31p
602Please respect copyright.PENANADJDssIj5Wz
"Is he awake?"602Please respect copyright.PENANApNmKERAUB8
602Please respect copyright.PENANASK30Qrdyrs
"Not sure," I answered. "He would've said something if he was."602Please respect copyright.PENANApTbN9ozlXK
602Please respect copyright.PENANAPaZmpo8h0d
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAzUbKK4rWcH
602Please respect copyright.PENANALLPyBrY5lq
"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.602Please respect copyright.PENANA3dn30nj1hG
602Please respect copyright.PENANAmyTBf0FcKz
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "It's what you said, Mike. How am I a bother to you?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAUuxsO2W68H
602Please respect copyright.PENANADyw0uZCwQv
"You're being a bother right now. I'm trying to rest and you're disturbing me."602Please respect copyright.PENANAi9919yJ1ub
602Please respect copyright.PENANAh47foljovq
Zoey hissed that I thought a snake had magically appeared in the room. If she was one, no doubt she would attack Mike first.602Please respect copyright.PENANAx7Kv23w2Xc
602Please respect copyright.PENANARceNasC8i5
"Enough," said Christine. "No one wants to see or hear you two fight."602Please respect copyright.PENANAjma9MUOwUu
602Please respect copyright.PENANAgFz6Io4Kxg
"Mike started it," said Zoey.602Please respect copyright.PENANAw3VRxwUtbH
602Please respect copyright.PENANAlUxltvRxEc
"You amplified it," said Mike. "You always do."602Please respect copyright.PENANAg64FGuD6aM
602Please respect copyright.PENANAKAvTX88Lkt
"For once I agree with Mike," I said. "Let it go, Zoey."602Please respect copyright.PENANASMmcz97VhS
602Please respect copyright.PENANAuPjwwSKenx
"You guys are unbelievable," said Zoey.602Please respect copyright.PENANA900L30JrzD
602Please respect copyright.PENANALu4iJuCQPG
"You're unbelievable," said Himchan as he chuckled. "You really are a drama queen. No offense."602Please respect copyright.PENANAaLwzkzbtRg
602Please respect copyright.PENANA9gdKWS2OaB
"None taken. These guys call me that all the time."602Please respect copyright.PENANAKkaPf1C8lZ
602Please respect copyright.PENANAXNjJtcDpcc
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAgIMtj3L2My
602Please respect copyright.PENANAlV71HnirLz
I stretched out my arms and stood up, stretching my whole body.602Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9ElRWe24W
602Please respect copyright.PENANALicl7ReV7Z
"I've had enough of watching Instagram videos," I told Jongup.602Please respect copyright.PENANA2sEz5GKzOX
602Please respect copyright.PENANAoEbRgxspxG
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAxmNTOUS5EH
602Please respect copyright.PENANALDnn0802j8
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANACvCv26BWF1
602Please respect copyright.PENANAgh30ukZwuT
"Hey, there," I said to him when I got behind him. I bent over to look at him from the side of his face.602Please respect copyright.PENANASRccDxtrmh
602Please respect copyright.PENANAJguwi3Vb97
"Oh, Sam," he looked up at me, surprised. "I didn't hear you coming."602Please respect copyright.PENANAo7xtRw6EdA
602Please respect copyright.PENANAgsF0HBS24E
"I've cat feet," I said as I took the empty seat next to him.602Please respect copyright.PENANAAMVam7oCAt
602Please respect copyright.PENANAqrW5xvGCpp
"Cat feet?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAaU3eFjFUgp
602Please respect copyright.PENANAaVr7WT4BC9
"I'm told there are times when people don't hear me coming so they say I've cat feet. I sometimes scare them."602Please respect copyright.PENANAVD6kwWm0VI
602Please respect copyright.PENANAK6q6cezqJ3
"Oh, I see."602Please respect copyright.PENANAuapb2xldSD
602Please respect copyright.PENANAyVR1XLuKNP
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAYfkBBSGdOo
602Please respect copyright.PENANAf1uKS7Kw0S
"I'll keep that in mind," said Yong-guk as he turned to smile at her.602Please respect copyright.PENANA1xJAhV4VFd
602Please respect copyright.PENANAOWr44kpYy3
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANA92HBoVauQa
602Please respect copyright.PENANAmtP1GpahIA
"I'm not working on our song," said Yong-guk as he went to work on the laptop.602Please respect copyright.PENANA2YqHnI6h5V
602Please respect copyright.PENANAjrsllWSu0r
"Then, what are you working on?" I raised my eyebrow at him.602Please respect copyright.PENANAPuNstf2Uzn
602Please respect copyright.PENANA81IPv5I0es
"On your song," he answered.602Please respect copyright.PENANA2PzJOhKOq1
602Please respect copyright.PENANA8novVY08hr
"Huh?"602Please respect copyright.PENANANFi8zZlU3T
602Please respect copyright.PENANACNjSteOfS8
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAeiMX48PqUL
602Please respect copyright.PENANA2CQMKjEH5G
"Wow." I'm surprised. I didn't think Yong-guk would go this far. I didn't even know what to say.602Please respect copyright.PENANAzua6BdJsbX
602Please respect copyright.PENANAo3febUpzsm
"Hey, are you okay, Sam?" Yong-guk asked.602Please respect copyright.PENANAkn8rtK5jEN
602Please respect copyright.PENANANQL6EbbzVl
I quickly turned to look at him. "Huh?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAB7XKeYvSnJ
602Please respect copyright.PENANAl8AIZ153US
"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?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAaHMBwXMupU
602Please respect copyright.PENANAY176JsU8uh
I smiled at him. He really means it. There aren't many people in the world who are so thoughtful.602Please respect copyright.PENANA3ciTbDAlwJ
602Please respect copyright.PENANAd8q9efhHuc
"I know what you mean. And no. I think there's no better person to work on it than you, Yong-guk."602Please respect copyright.PENANAk6KyQ0XTRI
602Please respect copyright.PENANAkpNwVkcdWw
"Really?" He looked a little surprised with what I said.602Please respect copyright.PENANAJICuRBzFps
602Please respect copyright.PENANA95e7YJFB2b
"Of course! Who would've thought we would've you helping us? It's actually really nice of you."602Please respect copyright.PENANABI62QkGaPc
602Please respect copyright.PENANAKB0akzX7R0
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAzLbU5vsyft
602Please respect copyright.PENANAXeMqQn1PWc
"May I hear what you've done so far?" I asked.602Please respect copyright.PENANA7dCrHlNRVh
602Please respect copyright.PENANAE79KnIpcQ2
"Ah..., sure," he said as he brought over the laptop closer.602Please respect copyright.PENANANclP0ABZP0
602Please respect copyright.PENANAYPYJ20ZWBB
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAcLMMGMrCoc
602Please respect copyright.PENANArbyjPYTejT
"Amazing," I looked at him with so much awe. "It's no wonder you're such a great producer."602Please respect copyright.PENANAJD4AJHzPsB
602Please respect copyright.PENANAjPhzT94kuZ
He chuckled. "Coming from you, that means a lot."602Please respect copyright.PENANAXCZ2ysTrJk
602Please respect copyright.PENANAGfadJywtJ4
"The others should hear this." My ear twitched. "I know you're there, Mike."602Please respect copyright.PENANAbygw56CLGY
602Please respect copyright.PENANAJJMFWcQ6Uw
"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?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAwv3Aw7kDee
602Please respect copyright.PENANAJIFHIADYLP
"Because what you've ain't cat feet," I smirked at him. "You've to work a lot harder than that."602Please respect copyright.PENANABAs4zRaDng
602Please respect copyright.PENANA1EWNewMdZY
"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?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAwp12GwEB3D
602Please respect copyright.PENANAqc5ZdYqF48
"This," I said as I pressed the play button on the laptop, playing out the instrumental for him.602Please respect copyright.PENANAjePhpq9gpr
602Please respect copyright.PENANAjDXnTlhkny
"Wow," muttered Mike. "But wait..., why does this beat sound familiar?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAwGPbxkZ1SH
602Please respect copyright.PENANAZGmY33JeU5
"It's because it's the beat to our song, silly," I said to him.602Please respect copyright.PENANACZKPSGfSNl
602Please respect copyright.PENANAOIDn2icsXP
"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?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAeeLlzk2REp
602Please respect copyright.PENANAeqASz5HzAT
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAzdEfWTmakA
602Please respect copyright.PENANAKxmYFWUxcA
"You're amazing," he said as he patted Yong-guk on the shoulder. "This song will be awesome."602Please respect copyright.PENANAf2S0clzj7L
602Please respect copyright.PENANAJgv5rpCQu1
"Thanks," he said. "You should be thanking your sister, though."602Please respect copyright.PENANAZzqOeGevq7
602Please respect copyright.PENANAglh3cRNuSb
"Huh?" Mike and I looked pluzzled.602Please respect copyright.PENANA7Pyiztsuxp
602Please respect copyright.PENANAfzv0v4NSnJ
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAO3BhHnwYel
602Please respect copyright.PENANAk5PyLn2QWy
"Oh...," I forgot he said that. Now it's my turn to blush, and Yong-guk smiled.602Please respect copyright.PENANAUQ7S4aqEVj
602Please respect copyright.PENANAhRh9rcTgLQ
"Ya, my sister is a genius," said Mike. "May I join you?"602Please respect copyright.PENANArCBEmvqKZG
602Please respect copyright.PENANAUmNK9BdVyL
"Sure," said Yong-guk. "With you two here, I bet we can work on it together."602Please respect copyright.PENANAnBslKCJ2fD
602Please respect copyright.PENANAb7wiLELnj8
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANA0ORzn2ump5
602Please respect copyright.PENANAdvasHyy59o
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANADmaZjJPvq7
602Please respect copyright.PENANAy5OLCUNuCr
"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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAZkNgDJeZRK
602Please respect copyright.PENANA6j9WbjAOgJ
"Alright, let's start," said Yong-guk.602Please respect copyright.PENANA7MWUpCy0Z0
602Please respect copyright.PENANAlleJK7CP9W
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAKIV0UbMNSB
602Please respect copyright.PENANAC3pk1D0aIh
"Hey, what's going on here?" Himchan asked as he came to join us.602Please respect copyright.PENANAzWeCoGe0mN
602Please respect copyright.PENANAw2ZQeG2pms
"We're working on an instrumental," Mike answered.602Please respect copyright.PENANAk2JuGP5O9E
602Please respect copyright.PENANAJvSnzXWQxr
"Which one?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAWhaOdGd2wy
602Please respect copyright.PENANAEIL6CkaCIc
"For our song," I answered. "You should hear it, it's really good."602Please respect copyright.PENANAo1hOPwkpHr
602Please respect copyright.PENANAzaJATB6Nyx
"Oh, I thought you had run out of ideas for the lyrics."602Please respect copyright.PENANA6J7fCjOloM
602Please respect copyright.PENANA4OMq9zDHC2
"Well, I did. Maybe if I continue working on the instrumental, I might come up with them."602Please respect copyright.PENANAwFxX0bg0hu
602Please respect copyright.PENANAH1W4ic0MPO
"How far have you gone doing so?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAhv9zEhyvU6
602Please respect copyright.PENANAwhw5HNUxCo
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAIFm7XWwdZ0
602Please respect copyright.PENANA0l4mNucz9I
"I agree," said Mike.602Please respect copyright.PENANANdqYpKRrBf
602Please respect copyright.PENANAfOv4ect3TF
"And you're going to use this instrumental for your album?" Himchan asked.602Please respect copyright.PENANAWGSMx3szZ8
602Please respect copyright.PENANAOp31VMcSci
"Of course we're," I answered, looking back at him. I now understood why he asked and I winced.602Please respect copyright.PENANADum0IKKCfS
602Please respect copyright.PENANA2TZwFa8H2w
"What is it, Sam?" Mike asked.602Please respect copyright.PENANAJJSjzGxf28
602Please respect copyright.PENANAeMNvUHvDWK
"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?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAjEkUKCEy4e
602Please respect copyright.PENANAZcJns20lHD
"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?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAAugJz6pt4V
602Please respect copyright.PENANAKhx2bSs0eK
"Collins may agree. But what about Yang Hyun-suk?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAHG61pv3byT
602Please respect copyright.PENANAeRdWUCqOSA
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAwBJqQCtEbs
602Please respect copyright.PENANA3frZTNRTSv
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAhBL1siS9dw
602Please respect copyright.PENANAakwFBX3FM0
"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?"602Please respect copyright.PENANA5MnfMlj3Y2
602Please respect copyright.PENANAhITpcH3pom
"This is your tune and melody, Sam. So, he can't refuse. I mean, the song we did with BigBang was all you too."602Please respect copyright.PENANAuEaU7Pblbq
602Please respect copyright.PENANAIDfEslCv3F
"It was?" Yong-guk and Himchan asked at the same time.602Please respect copyright.PENANALjewUV1C9t
602Please respect copyright.PENANAgRbioEIaYF
"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?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAIYfoGrdoTw
602Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ9673TQVL
"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.602Please respect copyright.PENANANIE1aGFhed
602Please respect copyright.PENANA0D8JMJ8nqv
"Does this thing involving me always have to be highlighted?"602Please respect copyright.PENANARAIRXHP4Fn
602Please respect copyright.PENANAWMDGN0zLpI
"Daa, yes! Out of all of us, Yang Hyun-suk approves of you the most. He'll definitely go through with it."602Please respect copyright.PENANAWC8lEiALNr
602Please respect copyright.PENANAnyy16ZBqnh
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAgT0Ib3NVql
602Please respect copyright.PENANAlM19qA3WVX
"Okay, if that's the case, than what of Yong-guk? Will he really help us through till the end?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAqenzQEacM1
602Please respect copyright.PENANAFhgAxJgnzR
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAhKcRPM1bHy
602Please respect copyright.PENANANdG2HwHCpB
"I'm right here, you guys," said Yong-guk in between Mike and me. "I can clearly hear you."602Please respect copyright.PENANAZNjpNBfqlp
602Please respect copyright.PENANAB9DYK8TNNs
Mike and I turned to look at him, then ignored him like he wasn't there. Himchan chuckled.602Please respect copyright.PENANAXD6UxPYKb2
602Please respect copyright.PENANAgOpKHiRU2g
"You're right," I said. "He'll stay till the end. He's such a good friend for helping us out."602Please respect copyright.PENANANivC1xVK0M
602Please respect copyright.PENANAAABHNalW0j
"I know right," Mike smiled. "He's awesome."602Please respect copyright.PENANAgxTSEYwtRQ
602Please respect copyright.PENANAlrKDHiO3tu
"I think you better focus on giving Collins a call, Sam," said Yong-guk, trying to sound serious, yet falling to do so.602Please respect copyright.PENANAuXL7m7EKtg
602Please respect copyright.PENANAFTA4VNrITM
"Aww," Himchan complained. "Their conversation was just about to get more interesting."602Please respect copyright.PENANAXXh4lzsFim
602Please respect copyright.PENANA9H8inJ43vi
I laughed. "He's just trying to hide the fact that he's blushing."602Please respect copyright.PENANAvD54Td77R7
602Please respect copyright.PENANA80mGL42KIY
"No, I'm not," said Yong-guk as he folded his arms and looked straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.602Please respect copyright.PENANAcx70RGaZSG
602Please respect copyright.PENANAr5AethXf32
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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAukokB1wHie
602Please respect copyright.PENANAKFkYNyQTD5
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANA761fRon4SS
602Please respect copyright.PENANArmGId6kFQC
"I'll be back," I said as I tried to stop laughing. "You better not have that face when I get back, Yong-guk."602Please respect copyright.PENANAvAMCeZTdYn
602Please respect copyright.PENANAirW9Z0UFD1
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANABDzPvII49V
602Please respect copyright.PENANAIgyjqpIfke
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAflMLFcT70q
602Please respect copyright.PENANAvilANJBfzW
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAar8DPowrbH
602Please respect copyright.PENANA6RLRU7r3jQ
Just when I'm about to cut the call, he picked up at the last minute.602Please respect copyright.PENANA2hm9mhO6f0
602Please respect copyright.PENANAAqvzhmQ989
"Hi, Sam," came his voice. "How's song writing going?"602Please respect copyright.PENANADBkBTnEj8t
602Please respect copyright.PENANAoVBQMt6wD5
"Not good, I'm afraid," I said as I scratched the back of my head wondering how to bring up the instrumental thing.602Please respect copyright.PENANAGtL2RCjsD8
602Please respect copyright.PENANAIEAi9aSDPc
"You'll figure it out. You do have extra help, don't you?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAhA3BRWWd1e
602Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pd5K4wGXk
"I see Lee told you about BAP."602Please respect copyright.PENANAbsiBEriTou
602Please respect copyright.PENANAsPY64Ons6j
"Well, she had to. So what can I do for you?"602Please respect copyright.PENANA2Xwxg1HrlY
602Please respect copyright.PENANAkMHOT3K3G8
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAiu61jPeMbB
602Please respect copyright.PENANAOu9AS8jVxI
"You're already coming up with that?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAv5lBDoUfHR
602Please respect copyright.PENANAXg54T5YYtr
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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAXmsgDz8r9f
602Please respect copyright.PENANAvP0tD4MHIZ
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAZdTeX8bx85
602Please respect copyright.PENANApaTRthY7hz
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANApOLUYk0bHO
602Please respect copyright.PENANAVbc2U8NIqX
I knew it. I had to say something quick to convince him.602Please respect copyright.PENANAWIaQeczs8p
602Please respect copyright.PENANAY6RzEQmv5b
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAmIffNhTno8
602Please respect copyright.PENANA6i3rvFmnFj
"I believe you. But you know I'm not the only manager in this project of ours."602Please respect copyright.PENANAZcPvAOLhG8
602Please respect copyright.PENANADanr7V87FQ
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAWuRyNVGJxU
602Please respect copyright.PENANA4zx4DRMfOP
"I don't have to talk to Yang Hyun-suk. He's right here with me. I put you on loud speaker."602Please respect copyright.PENANAfNdO23B29G
602Please respect copyright.PENANATn3VZYuUAX
I swallowed as I stopped pacing and my heart did one huge beat that I felt my chest hurt.602Please respect copyright.PENANAlYFpzYCpwa
602Please respect copyright.PENANAroPynhiAKM
"Oh..., good afternoon, Yang Hyun-suk sarangnim," I said quickly, so as not to seem surprised.602Please respect copyright.PENANAOhMeZrDcvt
602Please respect copyright.PENANAGvTwXQzVJi
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAU5llmZWSKe
602Please respect copyright.PENANAANfCnz4jCo
"And what do you think?"602Please respect copyright.PENANAeZcDcIm18z
602Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ws5j4YL69
"Well..., as much as the idea sounds tempting, I would actually refuse."602Please respect copyright.PENANAu64EjMF4nP
602Please respect copyright.PENANAVYdmcAs7iZ
My heart sank. I told myself it was worth a try anyway.602Please respect copyright.PENANASrsKDiFTGC
602Please respect copyright.PENANA8KG8S7Htx6
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAQmGiMkQPUy
602Please respect copyright.PENANAxJUCccpAWk
"Really!" I cried out in excitement. I can't believe he actually agreed.602Please respect copyright.PENANAv1EbaIFHev
602Please respect copyright.PENANAu5vThnZL9i
"Let's not forget that we're the ones that have the final say. If it's good, then we will proceed."602Please respect copyright.PENANAF6OPx53TKS
602Please respect copyright.PENANAj0g0hBKjMB
"Thank you!" I said with so much excitement. I could hear the two managers chuckle to themselves. "I promise you won't be disappointed."602Please respect copyright.PENANA2XGb7zqL6A
602Please respect copyright.PENANArfG4FSBTM1
"Make us proud, Sam," said Collins. "I hope you'll be able to come up with lyrics."602Please respect copyright.PENANA5DjPwERoBV
602Please respect copyright.PENANAvEUI0wmVVf
"I will. Thank you once again."602Please respect copyright.PENANAeyxOZzrKnR
602Please respect copyright.PENANAD5jV9G287m
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAEYMj1R61dl
602Please respect copyright.PENANADlm5RwXs2Y
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANA7mpZ1oMvlO
602Please respect copyright.PENANA0DCaEgBQ60
"What's the news?" Mike asked as he looked at me.602Please respect copyright.PENANAXsrbTOoAhz
602Please respect copyright.PENANAMKsrwOnAJb
"I hope it's good," said Himchan.602Please respect copyright.PENANAtBFPYE9FY9
602Please respect copyright.PENANA96uzTRytKd
"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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAWrNg03QlUl
602Please respect copyright.PENANA9Vu75XBwEq
"They agreed," I answered.602Please respect copyright.PENANAkeWXwMJ7DW
602Please respect copyright.PENANARvLQu6ZzXI
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANAPyM5quHC3t
602Please respect copyright.PENANAeVEtSD8TuY
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAUuYdD280Az
602Please respect copyright.PENANAYvLDrelY9D
"Ya, I'm also anxious to know what you're all talking about," said Daehyun.602Please respect copyright.PENANA77NwmkQ2Xe
602Please respect copyright.PENANApAZzOHI5ec
"Me too," said Zoey. "What did I miss?"602Please respect copyright.PENANACHE5XonDNy
602Please respect copyright.PENANAXTFS02XZUV
"A lot," I answered.602Please respect copyright.PENANA5EeUaf5K2q
602Please respect copyright.PENANAYBg3yQR3j1
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.602Please respect copyright.PENANALvv3mX5aKG
602Please respect copyright.PENANAmK25pudyco
"Wow, that's awesome," said Zelo.602Please respect copyright.PENANA6Aa6pp4XWf
602Please respect copyright.PENANAW9ERDT7B8F
"You see how the managers just love you, Sam?" Mike asked.602Please respect copyright.PENANAOu30HgGs2j
602Please respect copyright.PENANAZDPqQIPONf
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAniF1gdQOlN
602Please respect copyright.PENANAUezJ942NUe
"But for them to agree its because they know Yong-guk is an awesome producer," said Himchan. "No doubt it will be lit."602Please respect copyright.PENANAKVvIRknlwD
602Please respect copyright.PENANAEiKflTZZDd
"I agree with Himchan," said Zoey. "And besides, it's more of Sam's original, so they can't say no."602Please respect copyright.PENANAh5RMzJfraj
602Please respect copyright.PENANAxnVOqjNotZ
"Okay, we just need to focus on the instrumental and hopefully come up with the lyrics," I said.602Please respect copyright.PENANA0rpSgS1WTv
602Please respect copyright.PENANAABIGpKYZZ4
"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."602Please respect copyright.PENANAZysJciiM3y
602Please respect copyright.PENANAHsed5zNyLL
"Okay," I said as I rubbed my hands together. "Toxins, get over here by the console, please."602Please respect copyright.PENANA0juwKzUcd9
602Please respect copyright.PENANA3QYCwnGNO8
"Okay," said Christine and Zoey as they both stood up from the couch and quickly came over.602Please respect copyright.PENANABx2brZESOv
602Please respect copyright.PENANAttH2891zik
"We will be here to help in anyway we can," said Young-jae.602Please respect copyright.PENANAzYxmRqoy7c
602Please respect copyright.PENANAIn4d4B5KpO
"Thanks, guys," I said with a smile. I went over to sit back on my chair next to Yong-guk.602Please respect copyright.PENANAYADtkRGIWM
602Please respect copyright.PENANAdWZ4WNaQX0
"Okay," said Yong-guk. "Let's continue where we ended, shall we?"
