"Okay, so here are the lyrics for the song," I said after writing them down.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kpVARBy0Q
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwhiqaB3xi
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5pYpCUhOq
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3J6qJXPNg
"Just admit it," said Zoey, "the song is awesome."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02jVEM34aF
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeg2I2bS6m
"Zoey." Christine gave her a look that told her to keep quiet. "Let the others take it in first."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo1Qwbc2KP
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ykbsa7uFT
"Zoey's right," said Daehyun. "The lyrics are great."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQqavjm0Pg
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA0PMusAaf
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM3cuH8ahr
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3HaWQsfKl
"You should listen to the tune," said Mike. "You'll love it."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZsyWzONOV
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlpUEIf491
"I bet that's why you went searching for the guitar," said Jongup as he looked at me.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS1qQXKFYF
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBrI2TEWA0
"Play the guitar, Sam," Himchan insisted. "We're all dying to hear it. I bet Yong-guk can't wait any longer."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM5o4pI5pg
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C0nnrGgoM
"Huh?" Yong-guk looked at Himchan beside him, looking confused. "No, I'm not."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDyojcQyQ5
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPAmssl9Zy
"Of course you are," said Yong-nam as he gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "Don't forget, I'm your twin."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i3jwLON7f
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi2yf2G8Qv
"Okay," I said as I took the guitar that had been laying on the table the whole time. "Let me play it, then."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuWqbtghHG
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YswQX84Lh
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC96ts6AzqO
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkkhvCvqPH
"Wow," said Young-jae, looking at me like he's just seen something's dazzled him. "The song's going to sound awesome."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoNHWlIv85
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfVXVNKOGn
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMpTidElP9
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJjFCsJFYk
"Alright," said Yong-guk, looking to see what I was writing on the paper. "Whatever it is, I bet we can handle it."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReauPDXHge
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZaAz3bLit
"Can't wait to see you try," said Christine. "But then again, if it's you two l'm not worried."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwV5PFkm59
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iFjh1iOtm
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKv2OZcQ6G
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgooCaitBhS
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a1AoJCQlX
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ7PV5ZeCe
"Come on, Jongup," Zelo complained. "You're distracting Sam. We all want to hear what she has written."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWTR2Jko18
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4XTCsOn50
"I don't think that I'm distracting her," said Jongup as he looked at Zelo. "Right, Sam?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAo6HBGwfp
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dN8ilZcBm
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbvEBrpIKy
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp58kvZ77H
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIir27tTHGg
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoQ6YFprS2
"What's wrong, Sam?" he asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2IHhPdvhk
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoPvwH3oGm
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhBaLX7vXE
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNfCCJjnwK
"Goodness, Jongup," said Mike, "you almost kissed my sister."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cyKTs8ijQ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQqZquIKIG
And it just had to be Mike. Goodness, me!679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e92AhiHy0
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12eSL8RjOX
"Huh?" Jongup looked surprised. "I did?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoeTBQPJUH
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUGVwaNTV0
"And you were this close," said Zoey indicating a tiny space with her index finger and thumb.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34c4D93ki8
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndeVKwGNC8
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRoArEJO6F
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKa1o1Eujg
"You see, I told you so," said Zelo.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OTmxe3amV
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzUNKpGsHA
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1nix875cS
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68NCoBaDqk
Yong-nam cleared his throat. "Not at all," he answered. "You're actually pretty light."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yBcVwr9jt
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3nolrlads
I nervously laughed, not sure whether he meant it or not.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVA4ZKJuv6
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAGPbQFi0Q
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftHfKp31Yw
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pKEmvMVJQ
"You're such a fantasist, Zoey," said Daniel as he shook his head.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdRTpREiGq
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNXqpd3yej
"Don't mind her," I said. "Can we forget the kissing incident and focus on the song, please?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbDkDRWOJb
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUTN3sU7ns
"Sure," said Mike. "That's if we can reset Zoey's brain or else she won't stop talking about it."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI6pAVezAf
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTqbiMplgk
"Are you saying that I'm kookoo?" Zoey asked, looking at Mike.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ34aK1LMz
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pxL3hApov
"You can argue later, you two," I said, giving them a look. "Let's try and focus."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQQoUdX4ml
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItZNQw2Luh
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviTJp54ERI
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYcFrSfEG2
"Is it just me or something's just off?" Young-jae asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOwvzfqEbQ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwITxqYT3gn
"I think I feel what you mean," said Zoey as she scratched her head.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3KHe6ZdUL
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAspPBzogI
"Huh? What's Zoey saying?" Himchan asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXueqwfegV
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbHfXp1rhc
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx8h7rMfJl
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZcWHghfJ3
"I feel we aren't working like we did the first time," said Christine.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiDyW6lb4g
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBZi0sgUAQ
"Ya, that's what I meant," said Zoey.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UTnk3fK2m
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFVIRNszfp
"We just aren't coming up with the right lyrics," said Yong-guk, "that's all."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLoGLFUP12
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNG5AFuTOy
"Why is that?" Himchan asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aNJbk28jY
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnsrbOW5fZ
"Who knows," said Daniel. "What do you think, Sam?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLJDQ8kNsT
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhTt7czCRB
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ35ya0G9y
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMGdlU8ig6
"You look like you're about to cry, Sam," said Jongup.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqppEJsJsu
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tUpOqFabT
"Don't mind me," I said. "I'm frustrated that we're going nowhere."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TgJvhTIpr
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59VvcUec1l
"Maybe we're all just tired," said Zelo.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eCOPyIpTU
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhTCoUylwb
"I felt we rested enough," said Daehyun.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNgN6cGASx
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpVEargILA
"Or maybe we've been in the same place for too long," I suggested. "Sometimes the environment contributes greatly."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXHJorBQY0
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJnZJNMSoy
"Maybe," said Yong-guk.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk7NOMOyQT
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmqGEr1fGg
"What do you think, Yong-nam?" Christine asked as she turned to look at him.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgVAoFhvRj
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5qgfMGElA
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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgKovMAId9
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaklVZJ4st5
"Tomorrow?" Daniel looked shocked at the idea. "Won't that be a little too late for us?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3bBiZPf3o
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoPTwomk1a
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DOJ96eHoV
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY9kfCB7Dv
"Not forgetting that we should at least have something to present to Yang Hyun-suk," said Zoey.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjDkJrg02T
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YuPH4o4Cc
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DXTTm7fiH
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiloIAnp4iH
"Now I wish we never had to make an album," said Zoey as she leaned back on the chair and sighed.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uvZDTN4z6
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGHNNStsUj
"Wow, you guys are working on an album?" Jongup asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizcZ7WfsTE
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4F4bQeftk
"Yep," I answered as I lifted my face up from my hands. "Our managers are ambitious."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ6Ri3S2Of
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR3f7i5uRG
"At least we don't have to worry about the other songs," said Zoey.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3BcEVbijU
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeAoc8VOh0
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTZ1xryIf1
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeHHIwuahU
"I think we should take a little break," said Yong-nam.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx0ZYTw8TZ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8OjxMSjbL
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?679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviS6oTrABz
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYNPbyYdJJ
"You're scaring me, Sam," I heard Yong-guk say.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAn8XHSdQ6
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRj6hyA4oe
"Oh, don't mind her," said Zoey. "She started this and finding a way to finish it is frustrating."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8KKZzKk8f
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDWxSTP4Mv
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lwcv2S0kN
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgCfM0BE8M
"Wait..., does this mean we won't have the reward Lee was talking about?" I heard Daniel ask.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzJC56JA7o
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbAzOapBip
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxMuTWntoZ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7IgGuBXaR
"Don't worry about that, Daniel," I said. "Lee will give us that reward."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F9v8lL568
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCneZORkEj
"For someone who seems tired, you sound pretty confident," said Himchan.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLmJH2jy9Y
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnsIsYIMaQ
"I just know." I smiled at him as I shrugged my shoulders.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JmEfoELfX
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v3fwcJDbM
"Do you've any idea what it could be?" Daniel asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAbb0DrThd
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE5ULTFwLc
I shook my head. It's best it turns out as a surprise.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFRECX4ia7
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pxaWpli8y
"So, what are we going to do now?" Zelo asked. "Just sit and do nothing?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAPUEarDHG
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCCT9UjtiS
"We can do something fun to pass the time," Christine suggested.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bxOajDKMm
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w3rlhkaVV
"Not me," I went back to lying down on the floor.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp4R02l4ni
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl34RyeZA7t
No one said a word. I could feel a few eyes on me, while others, I'm guessing, gave each other looks.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhJfju47ew
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQAZTPUsWy
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "You're such a party pooper."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWWMXllu2W
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueW3smoG3q
"Haven't heard you call me that in a while," I said as I smiled at the ceiling.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuNB2LXOjF
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nRBSTQdih
"Get up, will you? This is no time to be lying down."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuP9SUybXe
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGoImbpwYj
"There's nothing wrong with lying down to rest, is there?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiOjjfbRju
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR9pqVqtTL
"Goodness, me." Zoey sounded frustrated. She couldn't argue over that and she knew it.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGi7y0lW6b
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXvt85NFYs
"Maybe we should call Lee to pick us up," Mike suggested.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJsi5fENEE
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O1H6o5g7f
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCg2WUzzkf
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYnQOcqxKV
I heard Zelo and Daehyun chuckle while I heard Christine and Zoey mutter out in frustration.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34jPnliaqm
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgODFxAh6kE
"Looks like you're stuck here with us until Lee comes to pick you up," I heard Yong-guk say.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx87joboSE
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnTExLCIfy
"But we can't sit here doing nothing," said Daniel. "Like Christine said, we better find something to do."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtqGm1AMWx
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXVp3YpHvT
"You should be resting," I suggested, my eyes still closed.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFG6Z4CJVk
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLWHtwkMPM
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB2EubA7xc
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0Eup8v979
I smiled. "Suit yourself."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoyasn2j29
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL92xaPVxn
"No one wants to do karaoke in the recording booth?" Jongup suggested.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOe2g5tzVz
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPfNxQzUcz
"I think we've done enough singing for one day," said Daehyun.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5yAU3zIfu
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1knJnzrFbJ
"I agree," said Zoey.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHbVMuAcQ2
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DH6TEuwpK
"If there's clearly nothing to do, then I think we should be resting like Sam's doing right now," said Yong-guk.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnMHjBHyH4
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fmGr7iazG
"I like your thinking," I said with my eyes closed. I raised my hand to give him a thumbs up.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvRrxr0Tut
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMEhNDw49F
"You songwriters all think the same," I heard Christine mutter.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ0pr0UlPa
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQEUMcwMqZ
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ4DPSBXUQ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqCIIwKLW2
"Huh? Not you too, Mike," said Zoey, sounding surprised.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BpZ8kvLZ6
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDgFzKKb2D
"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?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk3MM0PHsH
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGLR3eIICd
"I shouldn't be surprised coming from you."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5hEyv4CEV
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTDXulFuCI
"Ya, ya, ya, Zoey. I'm the bad guy here. Doesn't matter now, does it?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHVzBbpkfq
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DMjghfKfM
"Well, if there's nothing for you guys to do at the moment, then I'm going to work on something," said Yong-guk.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG1y1OpWwZ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw21RmocCz
"And what could that be?" Young-jae asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy9UBUV5QN
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuolUfybxl7
"Our song, of course."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGnUldAoef
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb1APViYUj
"You go ahead and do that," I said.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNVD3TbOmC
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu8ztkSDgl
There came an awkward pause and I opened one eye to look at him.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT7HcqMiR0
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBajp6wozC
"You look surprised, Yong-guk," said Yong-nam. He took the words right out of my mouth.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Uo8dJq4Qs
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NfT5KNxG4
"I thought that would get Sam up from the floor since she seems to really like helping out," said Yong-guk.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUqNyXi5zd
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo1gt67v7N
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41kftF9ull
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LFtmDmcVG
"Okay, then," said Yong-guk. "And you, Mike?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrniEEDpkI
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBHoQKxasA
"I'll pass too," said Mike.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwSRkfR7QC
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd4PVsbmEf
"Okay. I'll be by the console. Any of you guys want to join me?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF8QHOQ3Md
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzeNCQGkWQ
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPlwk6tO1j
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSdjhzp7wb
"I'm going to relax over here too," said Young-jae.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhhvsm4JEz
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd7993mnsa
"What's up with everyone?" Yong-guk asked, sounding surprised.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD66pyiE8Q
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZMI1Y3PTj
"Like Yong-nam said, we're tired," I said as I sat up. "The best thing to do right now is relax."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfEJy3dvLy
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNjeDzTmOF
"Aren't you worried about not making progress on your song?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdHqRcNWy8

"I was about to ask the same question," said Zoey with a sulky look on her face. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERTuB97TQY
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NIvriO9hN
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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fRQm5rAck
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SaJJmIlR9
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS0XOWJ8Fu
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK9GScNSd7
"You of all people shouldn't even be sleeping," said Yong-guk.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTOoGj3dMD
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7S35HNcUi
I laughed. As much as I wanted to hear these two brothers argue, it ended there. I went back to sleeping on the floor.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG9LH8GoM2
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGihSBl0Qmt
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvvQ8WEPpR
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDH3MD93mt
"Looks like the majority wins," said Himchan as he chuckled.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWXRclSBgs
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80JeJ63lC7
Zoey mourned in frustration. Even I could tell she's tired. She had no choice but to give in.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM5I3GmEOw
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurDl2lssfD
"Oh, man!" Daniel muttered out loud.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7dpL86Lae
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP49ElbWLQ
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP0tQJp7HQ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1OBPkzBPv
"Sorry, guys," he said. He quickly looked up from his phone when he noticed people's eyes on him. "Playing a game over here."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJtib9FBXh
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHiPp0wMOq
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux8kENeYB2
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJHxQ2DgyD
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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa8ZdcZECj
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY51WwRcyx
"I think I'll have a little shut-eye," said Christine.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSIhZ6G1Mt
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHTI1mNGzu
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKG9S0XWmM
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXaRIaFeTJ
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux1QvkbQuO
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8jdOCTO0X
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR9MuB39cu
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFy7RtP04e
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSJpS4pR5t
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutCy4cRtSC
"Hey, Sam?" I heard Jongup call me. "Are you asleep?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbrUqXg1yr
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyp0MlYZZR
"No," I answered. I drew my eyes open and looked at him. "What is it?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PENtof638
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8iwHhHNtL
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAx4CyAsIP
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7hw4DcP1V
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo2rucunPH
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTH2zfYyNT
"I know," said Jongup. "You should see this previous one. It will knock your socks off."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZae7L0OeWa
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7pwemisdX
I joined Jongup in watching more cat videos. We soon moved on to watch people participate in various dance challenges.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mNIYd0HuN
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6SmWSjg0K
"We should've a dance challenge one day," I said to Jongup as we watched.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2uCl2smX9
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxU9l5I0I4
"Huh?" he turned to look at me. "We should've a dance challenge?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkXY09v4TA
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs8BLVTjGq
"Ya. I mean The Toxins vs BAP."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCBs5DA0Ih
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj2tV7SxbS
"Oh..., like the one you had with Monsta X?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmsu8vTysc
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOuevXrXIm
"Yes, like that one. You watched it?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ1byL3yfI
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSqjqb6uVB
"I think a lot of us did. People really liked it."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL74FgKyKx
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9HQC5Dzfl
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbb074MT1e
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud31DTDRHU
"Oh, you've an album to work on."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpGAFTYCHc
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmY5Jdbk3W
I stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Just thinking about it drains me." I went back to looking at his phone.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l8IC3OXeC
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrmk0IDw6w
"Did I hear someone talk about having a dance challenge with BAP?" Zoey asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAdGq8SUsK
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0Fl72phYg
I raised my head a little and saw Zoey still on her phone.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pxOkQvb1U
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw8byAlqkz
"Yes, I said that," I said as I dropped my head and stared at Jongup's phone.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡValGWpyZKZ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E58K9mEHA
"Why not do so now?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7NESLhXqF
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXLhnVVtUR
"No!" Christine, Mike and I said out loud at the same time.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEyxdWeRNL
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs32NJ6iCE0
"Eish, guys. It's why I asked. You don't have to eat me alive."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCj9uAjU8t
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTFScT9Og7
Himchan and the other BAP members around the table started to chuckle.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA8SfnRfZ7
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhg4oVj2tK
"You Toxins really are something," said Himchan. "You do know that the majority of you opposed, right?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivauvx3utt
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVxOZzXiBD
"Except Daniel," said Zelo.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8Y0XdiJ1S
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbZ5fnrBSW
"Oh, I refuse too," said Daniel, still on his phone.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT3aq1SRon
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXRtkeVu99
Zoey tsked. "You guys are no fun."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2LmTrV7sc
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3grxc7FXEm
"Use logic, Zoey," said Christine. "We're all tired and don't have the energy for a dance challenge."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Wvy8XdWbc
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWy1B5bCDe
"I know that. I thought maybe someone's in the mood for it."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKTDm0QbmE
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUitN8jNFz
"No one is in the mood for it," said Mike.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE6nmWC45Z
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsbE1CZjv2
"And what if the BAP members were?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSacBbjEFqo
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhAWbTElLh
I heard Daehyun nervously chuckle. "To be honest, Zoey," he said, "I'm definitely not in the mood."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRVRc86zPP
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMzBojaO8L
"Me too," said Young-jae.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb7Igfteiy
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiLR3qqfJT
"Me three," said Zelo.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLOfyzYRjA
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHtPIjPYni
"Guess I don't have to ask you, Himchan," said Zoey, sounding unimpressed.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzvtX0GCrq
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFsiBj7AnP
Himchan, just like Daehyun, nervously chuckled too.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0aTyaTF2h
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU44am3hao
"You can ask Yong-guk," Zelo suggested.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ502wr9C3DT
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P2yQytzla
"Nah. He's already busy and I don't like to be a bother."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NrdpzEGgu
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QrDHOBlcA
"Really?" Mike asked. Uh-oh. I smell an argument brewing. "You bother a lot of us everyday."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp2sHbuK00
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi0auX5JAG
"What did you say!?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPWAd7mAES
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqWlvTkQxl
"Quiet down, Zoey," said Christine. "You're disturbing Yong-nam. He's probably asleep."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqjNKjG2v9
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo8nP01MXg
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1LqqTFcw4
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT70Pk0wFB
"I bet he isn't," said Zoey. "Is he, Sam?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFx2v9mkZm
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkEYZvCgQc
"Huh?" I got a little caught off guard as I didn't answer Zoey's question.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcOT16rak6
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNEk57B2CI
"Is he awake?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF2ou9XYRz
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceGM5JSO6P
"Not sure," I answered. "He would've said something if he was."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytzDg8wePG
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhhv3cwGxA
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZr2koJrE7
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGuxl3kRzn
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U7zmRgnNo
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhM6nRj3Qm
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "It's what you said, Mike. How am I a bother to you?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMdjxhnBF0
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rUzsQojfN
"You're being a bother right now. I'm trying to rest and you're disturbing me."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFwYnG3IMr
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV0qZfw5Z1
Zoey hissed that I thought a snake had magically appeared in the room. If she was one, no doubt she would attack Mike first.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJsL6StaWD
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaJs9lgbtl
"Enough," said Christine. "No one wants to see or hear you two fight."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JGgdUrTd0
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nmeAiPJRy
"Mike started it," said Zoey.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1C93HTHfN
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJXj1YZs1u
"You amplified it," said Mike. "You always do."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E02fifPCO
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9TocfaM9B
"For once I agree with Mike," I said. "Let it go, Zoey."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGddqIZFV5K
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTgTRYopFH
"You guys are unbelievable," said Zoey.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWUIpnMKpe
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hkOXMHzrN
"You're unbelievable," said Himchan as he chuckled. "You really are a drama queen. No offense."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQKDAfSMeI
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IV2ZOJhR3
"None taken. These guys call me that all the time."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPxjYNHScI
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7AX5fEcWh
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnqT0NXwNE
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kTGQPux3S
I stretched out my arms and stood up, stretching my whole body.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi968t51W54
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmObVpzx9yu
"I've had enough of watching Instagram videos," I told Jongup.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5qMX0hW7w
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgBg6cWsx2
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KGW0VjQMB
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMB4hz4Nn8
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsqMnBvcE2
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7hiDqSvft
"Hey, there," I said to him when I got behind him. I bent over to look at him from the side of his face.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBgG7CrBas
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R2lKqYxIy
"Oh, Sam," he looked up at me, surprised. "I didn't hear you coming."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRouSXNEry
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDiaH7DO4S
"I've cat feet," I said as I took the empty seat next to him.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZg6imnH4F
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpQE8CmEdm
"Cat feet?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1Vr8wvo8H
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZkCKKoOiN
"I'm told there are times when people don't hear me coming so they say I've cat feet. I sometimes scare them."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO22aHD7cpG
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TdCv5C5CN
"Oh, I see."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR2QfHRS2N
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTJaQFPHsO
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8UjdKeYb7
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfS231cZqj
"I'll keep that in mind," said Yong-guk as he turned to smile at her.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONmfSRYQbG
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5VfkN5Kbd
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa36fZtRSqC
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1f2DyUpOd
"I'm not working on our song," said Yong-guk as he went to work on the laptop.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUDMEf1w8V
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwB18RAJJd
"Then, what are you working on?" I raised my eyebrow at him.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWUsB3CH9f
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEfMt0PT2O
"On your song," he answered.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOwfSGi9pi
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5MyBd7Exb
"Huh?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2vuqxfj6G
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsnXQCKkkc
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOIyAAMjs9
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj4N56HsAh
"Wow." I'm surprised. I didn't think Yong-guk would go this far. I didn't even know what to say.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLlPUcrog6
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJtNr8lMcz
"Hey, are you okay, Sam?" Yong-guk asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSXvhEXFsH
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlFk9hLrPl
I quickly turned to look at him. "Huh?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD3j85g2Jd
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zcexdUO91
"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?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgb5agJ6Xx
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5mAcZRPQo
I smiled at him. He really means it. There aren't many people in the world who are so thoughtful.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiGaHZePyJ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU8FClt3JL
"I know what you mean. And no. I think there's no better person to work on it than you, Yong-guk."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpazrcdv3k
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtNVeBfoRj
"Really?" He looked a little surprised with what I said.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpErN3X1lJO
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbkB1p1TZo
"Of course! Who would've thought we would've you helping us? It's actually really nice of you."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7BW7qpCRj
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXU6r7QYF0
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3qkWTdEZi
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SQi0tm7HE
"May I hear what you've done so far?" I asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmczdcAQbwb
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fBLQcNFKO
"Ah..., sure," he said as he brought over the laptop closer.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfX2eApHd7
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AHwZzoCpu
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FERiKXL4G
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTazZuuVvue
"Amazing," I looked at him with so much awe. "It's no wonder you're such a great producer."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwPo0KwIh9
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM04FTryMjH
He chuckled. "Coming from you, that means a lot."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9uilrIucH
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1166W976jA
"The others should hear this." My ear twitched. "I know you're there, Mike."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWMLPB997Y
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXdWTKmX3s
"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?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yfxVfxHOZ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl1aEBIiEK
"Because what you've ain't cat feet," I smirked at him. "You've to work a lot harder than that."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoDpnItS78
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte4UjHO0Y8
"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?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fedx33pkR
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeJuvAsiJu
"This," I said as I pressed the play button on the laptop, playing out the instrumental for him.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd4G9gdpYs
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqrUzWMih1
"Wow," muttered Mike. "But wait..., why does this beat sound familiar?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8P8vutEev
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQsq78xKzY
"It's because it's the beat to our song, silly," I said to him.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LNKOjnvBP
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuGRcMOWmv
"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?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnvrQk4WMV
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiICZCGhjQg
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fnFcbYKP0
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw7uiKWexH
"You're amazing," he said as he patted Yong-guk on the shoulder. "This song will be awesome."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZQIUNS9NT
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCwtrIBWhb
"Thanks," he said. "You should be thanking your sister, though."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua99vhuBgZ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnmbxgxnOH
"Huh?" Mike and I looked pluzzled.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48xmGVROxq
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh655B086pD
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHkaEZdJuu
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIEzXqi5SV
"Oh...," I forgot he said that. Now it's my turn to blush, and Yong-guk smiled.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIK6q3uNs9
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQg15AS9CS
"Ya, my sister is a genius," said Mike. "May I join you?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3rHnd4G7G

"Sure," said Yong-guk. "With you two here, I bet we can work on it together."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3EwxnjiZL
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuCzzxsdSs
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxqzDK2ej4
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJYyteoSNx
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjURGRWj2VI
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi2Dtak79p
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSOyxoBVAa
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0xU3oGfXn
"Alright, let's start," said Yong-guk.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOfQRf6PG8
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfGMsgimgu
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95WP5GsHZR
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aadUGXjKA
"Hey, what's going on here?" Himchan asked as he came to join us.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkPIqOy43f
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1lImuj9Ae
"We're working on an instrumental," Mike answered.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFojRgzr6CS
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcerF3N9t2
"Which one?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG3aTldQpM
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam98IwWH4B
"For our song," I answered. "You should hear it, it's really good."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwnZCXR25g
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhvNA8Ugvd
"Oh, I thought you had run out of ideas for the lyrics."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDhnTd5BCn
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm39NAJSGDz
"Well, I did. Maybe if I continue working on the instrumental, I might come up with them."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zJTmuOFvT
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nZqCMdXki
"How far have you gone doing so?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94wK1dr0xm
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0296RBH0p
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LWepWxNK6
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnemIQe7bmt
"I agree," said Mike.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYhWpBYita
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbNZuMb27D
"And you're going to use this instrumental for your album?" Himchan asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj8XB32xBs
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdeMI3NHtI
"Of course we're," I answered, looking back at him. I now understood why he asked and I winced.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC9l3kRuFA
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO8o1dOQsb
"What is it, Sam?" Mike asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScmx6rqBtb
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKACkerU0Yy
"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?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClz05vRxNs
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo43BvPiT7t
"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?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t9dqzNMZo
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0awT6BOpe4
"Collins may agree. But what about Yang Hyun-suk?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRgmZ1L4EQ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUXUY3CUCa
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnpxt9DZTI
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn7RrJD48B
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmof7R2fHr
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf53QDflQS
"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?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtESQtqK5mW
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyRppDUpC4
"This is your tune and melody, Sam. So, he can't refuse. I mean, the song we did with BigBang was all you too."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnmmEXQU0J
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTAH8ZYyOM
"It was?" Yong-guk and Himchan asked at the same time.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2QqncP9IW
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwbulmBuZy
"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?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPkUbozPqx
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpUFyk52nk
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJXM4UUP29
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkVHHtmvyM
"Does this thing involving me always have to be highlighted?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwFvNWvCRG
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTepbjfXVDC
"Daa, yes! Out of all of us, Yang Hyun-suk approves of you the most. He'll definitely go through with it."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8RK2855UM
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeBBHu6t0E
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNDDnzbPwU
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT0OC7CdIe
"Okay, if that's the case, than what of Yong-guk? Will he really help us through till the end?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaIDAUkVRt
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CIIGtFQEJ
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IHC451qGP
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJwMPb1Tm8
"I'm right here, you guys," said Yong-guk in between Mike and me. "I can clearly hear you."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxqFOR1t6q
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20SRwo4kdy
Mike and I turned to look at him, then ignored him like he wasn't there. Himchan chuckled.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISuYMf4ILi
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjJ6IiTftB
"You're right," I said. "He'll stay till the end. He's such a good friend for helping us out."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWNLcwqEFz
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CaSMdUpvA
"I know right," Mike smiled. "He's awesome."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtehbqszFU9
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPKNVDWJuq
"I think you better focus on giving Collins a call, Sam," said Yong-guk, trying to sound serious, yet falling to do so.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DPXDmGxsU
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyS7qIkreG
"Aww," Himchan complained. "Their conversation was just about to get more interesting."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXKOVTG08K
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MIjRiivyA
I laughed. "He's just trying to hide the fact that he's blushing."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2pKVvVgVH
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SjB1DQL0D
"No, I'm not," said Yong-guk as he folded his arms and looked straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjhB3Ztg4S
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEBdPXrG1x
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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVjmQWoTbb
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCliWL50joL
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fwa7SxdgA
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7yP29JJNz
"I'll be back," I said as I tried to stop laughing. "You better not have that face when I get back, Yong-guk."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEDncBqD0J
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubS7XzQBJn
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKH7hzAPpq
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD8YmHDgAs
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMziNs5AvYm
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mb6bNxVI2
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy9tSSFxEI
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmNAJDEpbZ
Just when I'm about to cut the call, he picked up at the last minute.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwtAZiB5zR
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpsDSx6kfQ
"Hi, Sam," came his voice. "How's song writing going?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTPGMWf1FK
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF3UZFmlrl
"Not good, I'm afraid," I said as I scratched the back of my head wondering how to bring up the instrumental thing.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL0AoYsEM6
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM98wTATMSz
"You'll figure it out. You do have extra help, don't you?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4V2mxUD1R
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsco51ZLDyL
"I see Lee told you about BAP."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEnF3mgyCy
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvNgPllOww
"Well, she had to. So what can I do for you?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2h7cOquTa
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67p2U71raU
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVc7tGNOZh
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sEhNkKciZ
"You're already coming up with that?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPEzlOGtVE
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEbr6jcngK
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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn854J4RrI
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VY9nv7Dla
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzVPA7uATa
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0GNupQSKI
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLqnPtHRel
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2QBvop0yO
I knew it. I had to say something quick to convince him.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsekFbr9M5
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqys7GIUQm
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz5AULQaYO
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pbOhgqIqG
"I believe you. But you know I'm not the only manager in this project of ours."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc1uTblW98
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIZKhJj7wq
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7lH4Da0Wx
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r8au87AAt
"I don't have to talk to Yang Hyun-suk. He's right here with me. I put you on loud speaker."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj0NcPELuy
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidEpmueRsS
I swallowed as I stopped pacing and my heart did one huge beat that I felt my chest hurt.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqI1VoU9ud
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4UB7Y9X2W
"Oh..., good afternoon, Yang Hyun-suk sarangnim," I said quickly, so as not to seem surprised.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKFixp7jFc
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGpAVygiwr
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT877O6bt0V
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nGHUHDxeu
"And what do you think?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcNzKKWtPH
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu669kdi5E
"Well..., as much as the idea sounds tempting, I would actually refuse."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydXwCS8XEu
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRg01BvihL
My heart sank. I told myself it was worth a try anyway.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQsYO1iMEc
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS7TW78aMH
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5DmnWZ7g1
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg4knsJrcG
"Really!" I cried out in excitement. I can't believe he actually agreed.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQM9Fui0ji
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0HXbrzlGQ
"Let's not forget that we're the ones that have the final say. If it's good, then we will proceed."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBnmbUhXMv
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwnxe2iT45
"Thank you!" I said with so much excitement. I could hear the two managers chuckle to themselves. "I promise you won't be disappointed."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMSFrMRWPT
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vmS7bngki
"Make us proud, Sam," said Collins. "I hope you'll be able to come up with lyrics."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFIFQ7UExg
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHI7AKGPx7
"I will. Thank you once again."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeuYi6JcVD
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnY4fHvNo9
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1JeFR2Ksy
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LnV5qAj8C
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqMSHQz853
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC8uFRzATN
"What's the news?" Mike asked as he looked at me.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaFLLC1TLR
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXoT3417Gj
"I hope it's good," said Himchan.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHUxVjDoNl
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzTh93ud5G
"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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlA1Mh7zHt
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ672Pl8PmxL
"They agreed," I answered.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR1DluKnFF
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ078rhOsLOu
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQA0cqRhfS
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjCuEVQ8pp
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLgGUkWgCJ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NbYLkbuTW
"Ya, I'm also anxious to know what you're all talking about," said Daehyun.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3CBH79bBm
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH43rdbnGG
"Me too," said Zoey. "What did I miss?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l8TEg86CW
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXLSJQaaKG
"A lot," I answered.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HyYTEFQMr
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea2g3U3E2h
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4MyewvByv
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7tybabOzZ
"Wow, that's awesome," said Zelo.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5ItKJDQIm
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9TNv7qyAJ
"You see how the managers just love you, Sam?" Mike asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZOC6WnUX4
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yHOIV8cBi
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyUCUxMdpf
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKNHUv63iS
"But for them to agree its because they know Yong-guk is an awesome producer," said Himchan. "No doubt it will be lit."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQiq2WO1dA
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCJOnAEB9u
"I agree with Himchan," said Zoey. "And besides, it's more of Sam's original, so they can't say no."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdZb3Y3IbE
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8E5Zfjdpm
"Okay, we just need to focus on the instrumental and hopefully come up with the lyrics," I said.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfykdsKyJ8y
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ7kvMYo3U
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDXQFUC64v
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdznXeNkWK
"Okay," I said as I rubbed my hands together. "Toxins, get over here by the console, please."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5zRrIv326
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBTUeMZatn
"Okay," said Christine and Zoey as they both stood up from the couch and quickly came over.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4S4mXkkqt
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTVtiTPL2E
"We will be here to help in anyway we can," said Young-jae.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73jT7c4YvC
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH7u0HTRV2
"Thanks, guys," I said with a smile. I went over to sit back on my chair next to Yong-guk.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CcRvXfDmA
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmydWlXkEf
"Okay," said Yong-guk. "Let's continue where we ended, shall we?"
