We had all gathered around the console with the producer, Yang Hyun-suk, Collins and Lee taking their seats while we stood around. The producer got the instrumental from Bang Yong-guk which he put in a flashdrive.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMaUVKMKM1

364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK6ztIh9bl
As much as I didn't feel nervous like I did before, I still found myself playing with my fingers that I hid behind me. I felt Yong-guk nudge me on the shoulder with his as he stood next to me. I turned to look at him. His smile told me to remain calm and that everything's going to be fine. I smile back, assuring him that I'm okay.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FBzoViJha

364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTDrWrflm2
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp35Ht0IZgN
We watched the producer insert the drive in the USB port of his laptop right next to the console.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaLYCMEmZL

I realise that the place is quiet, and I can feel the tension amongst ourselves. I looked at the other Toxins, and I can tell they're nervous. I wish I could tell them that all is well, but I would only be repeating what they said earlier. Let’s just see how all this goes.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBVDMpwVWp
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZekxON9PN
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yDyVMOVCM
Soon enough, the tune came flowing through the speaker after the producer hit the play button on his laptop, then came along the beat and other sound effects. I had my fingers crossed for the few seconds that passed. I just hope they like it.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet1Ln2Wuxm

"Wait a minute, pause," said Yang Hyun-Suk.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kA3fO6GEm
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3APAEuNuS7
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKH4LwyadE
I felt my heart jump to my throat. What could be the problem now?364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR4BxlBi4T
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvwlr9HECi
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa8fOPZSck
The producer did likewise and all our eyes turned to Yang Hyun-suk. I could sense nervous tension in the air as we all looked at him. Could there be something wrong? We only just started.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rv2cuSEQ6
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigVi1CemP0
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIvVg7rmET
There came a long pause as his eyes were fixed on the see-through glass of the recording booth. I can tell he’s thinking of something, but what could it be? Maybe, he doesn’t like the song. Could it be that bad? For him to stop it so soon, anyone could assume the worst.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyrLKbETqU
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RJmsRqu8y
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bSQt1sBgL
"May I see the lyrics?" he asked as he turned around to look at us. His eyes fell specifically on me, though.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9ac3pcSlf
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc0vx9RnQJ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOKKpH4ws6
"Of course," I said as I quickly rushed back to where we sat. I left my bag there with the paper with the lyrics in it. I picked the bag, looked inside and removed the folded paper. I make my way back.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nUBdrAiPW
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk04fA6OcKU
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6n4z8OyxG
I give the paper to Yang Hyun-suk and he quickly unfolded it. I’m glad I wrote the lyrics on a clean sheet of paper, because the other had a lot of scribbles and cancellations. That’s just the life of a song-writer, I guess.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdzI9bQblM
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA2Yd9BqWb
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgUmrywQIy
He looked at the paper and now the nervous tension in the room got a whole lot worse. I saw him raise his eyebrow and I turned to look at Yong-guk. Surprisingly, he had a smirk on his face as he looked at me. How is he not scared right now?364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwB0sBxsUA
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2MqxMbjNv
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hFTq5Y58G
Yang Hyun-suk turned around on the swivel chair, then turned back to look at us. This is it. His final judgement.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65tP2gYc0x
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZUA2sk5aV
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV60WanIxl
"This is good," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Once we fuse the instrumental with these lyrics, it will be a great hit."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjaEmcQXg3
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotTbsS4LMj
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsgMbXo04Q
I sighed in relief while the rest clapped and cheered a little, especially the ladies. I felt Yong-guk put his hand on my shoulder with a smile. He mouthed out an "I-told-you-so" and I couldn’t help but blush.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TYbpdTXO7
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIaAi2MtkY
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGfnvPQ921
"This is an excellent piece of work, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk as he handed the paper to Collins. "As much as it is a breakup song, the tune and the beat make it fun to sing to."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63I9DTnANb
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5HE2lmRcf
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfuRHkdMgG

364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIYv4bhp1B
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdue72kyckD
"It’s why we think Yong-guk should help out with the album," said Collins after looking at the paper.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe9xRCXUsi

The others started to talk amongst themselves excitedly and I couldn’t help but look on with a smile on my face. I felt a little nudge on my shoulder and I turn to see Yong-guk looking at me.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KHQNR3KTv

"I’m the one who assured you a 100%," said Seunghoon as he came to stand on my other side. Goodness, standing in between these two is getting unbearable by the minute.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar59y8ndTv
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEMrrK5JFb
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH3pXEMqXY
"Okay, settle down, everyone," said Yang Hyun-suk as he stood up from his chair to address us. "Don’t get so excited. We need everyone’s cooperation to make this album a success."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1V2t3G0Pb
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnwHA87wly
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbAJVBQ0mK

364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrL03oQu9f
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHDmizd9AB
"Now, we would like to say something before we leave," said Collins. "We know that we don’t have enough time on our hands to make the album, but if we all cooperate, we won’t have any problems."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zWvQJa2C1
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoocUMbRjn
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnNFxtXfhD
"So, as we mentioned to you some time ago, you’ll be working with other lyricists and producers for the album, so we’ve to work effectively," said Yang Hyun-suk. "It will be tiring for you, but this song should be perfected today so as to make time to create others."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz2GI6IAUd
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEmI7fML0J
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JnbvfTdOc
We all looked at each other. It won’t be the first time any of us has had to perfect a song or an album in a short period of time. Looks like us Toxins have to burn the oil before leaving.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO75X0zfDZQ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EJszk3PxT
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADydHsAWB5

364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJTrLpil0r
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0FjYpoKMc

364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvOyxU3j4s
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou2Bivi5kt
"I know, this seems sudden, again, and we’re sorry about that," Yang Hyun-suk apologised. "We thought it would be nice to shoot a music video for the fans in order to promote the album. It will be stressful, but in the long run, it will be prove to be very effective."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy55fs8p9D
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA76j7g0Bd
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiR3oRYLMm
The thought of making a music video still didn’t sit well with me. We’ll be so stressed out from making the album that I don’t know if we’re ever going to manage making a music video. But just like Yang Hyun-suk said, it will be effective when it comes to promoting the album. I look around and the excitement we had earlier just dissipated like it wasn’t even there to begin with.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcChbLlb4s

Yong-guk and I gave a nod of our heads. The two managers started to make their way out of the recording room wishing us the best. As soon as they left, there is silence amongst ourselves. A few seconds later, I went for the door and opened it to peek down both ends of the hall. They are gone. I closed the door and turned to address the others:364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzyjKSmWgU

"Okay, I know this isn’t what we were expecting," I said. "Trust me, I feel like bursting right now, but it isn’t going to help us finish the album. A lot of people are expecting this BTW collaboration to happen, and we’ve to give them the best that we can offer. So can we please, settle down so that we can find a way to work around this?

We all sat in silence for what felt like forever. A lot of us seem to be deep in thought while others started to look through their phones. Yong-guk who had stayed behind with the producer by the console, stood up and came to stand in front of us.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSWk6OCU1l

"I know we can." I went towards Yong-guk to stand next to him to face the others. "It's like I said earlier. We aren't alone in this. We've Yong-guk and the producer over here to make sure we finish this song today. We've lyricists and other producers coming in later to help finish the album. I know the music video is a real pushover, but there will be a lot of people helping us out with it.

Yong-guk went on ahead to explain that we will have to hear how the song will play out first before we start to give out parts to sing. Mike and I were with him when making the instrumental and we knew how the lyrics will flow, so we would do a test-run and see if everything will be alright. If need be, we all know there might be a change here and there with either the tune on some parts of the lyrics.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MniLK8Bc5

I placed a hand on his shoulder assuring him that it’s all going to be okay.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYadCJasvwA

The two of us go in the booth to the centre of the room to the microphones and the headphones mounted, ready to be worn. We put the headphones on and Yong-guk instructed through the mic on the other side that they will first play the instrumental, then we can see how to fuse in the lyrics. The good part about working with Mike and Yong-guk yesterday, is that even when we were making the instrumental, we sort of tried to work with the lyrics we had. But anything can happen, so we’ve to be ready to make some changes.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AeTdVmX86

Mike and I gave him the thumbs up. The instrumental started to play and we listened intently. As soon as the instrumental was done, I could see the rest of BTW looking excited. Looks like they like the instrumental. Now the hard part begins. I found Mike looking at me.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTkgkpq4ym

Mike and I looked at the paper I had placed on the stand before us. We talked a little and agreed on a few things that we already thought about yesterday. As soon as we were done, we gave the producer and Yong-guk a thumbs up. We're ready to go.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PR31WdK6I

364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8t8dpK0WI
I see the producer hit the record button on the console and the music soon started to play. I began with a little harmony before I started to sing out the lyrics of the first verse. I had to sing the lyrics out a little faster due to the fast beat of the instrumental. Mike joined me afterwards.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALq21mWqI5
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhz2iOByYO
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0YmHWt5yg
I didn’t think much about it as I continued to sing alongside Mike. And I later realised that this song is pretty fun to sing to. As we entered the chorus, I realised that Mike and I were actually snapping our fingers and moving from side to side to the tune. When we finished the chorus, the producer held us to a stop.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTRPETCAmB

"Okay, guys," the producer started to say. I think we might be doing a do-over by the way he sounded. "The song is great."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkGHhPgYFn
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD50C1CGiH
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHT0rfp1a4
I’m shocked. He looked so stoic I thought he would make us do a do-over. I can now see the rest of BTW smiling on happily like a team they were supporting had won a game. Lee gave Mike and me a two thumbs-up. Yong-guk continued to smile back at us, looking on proudly.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ivHBnVDsu

"You guys are amazing!" came Zoey’s voice through the speaker. Mike and I turned to the window and saw her standing next to Yong-guk and speaking into the mic. She's really loud, that Mike had to remove his headphones and pretended that his ears had been pierced by her voice by sticking his index finger into one of them.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjseaPhLRq

364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UZxTBzCEx
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn769AcP3Ze
Just like that, we continued composing the song. And so far, it went on smoothly. On the second verse, we had to work around the rap parts first with Mike before we sang them out, but that also went on fine with a few changes. We finished composing the song, and Mike and I were able to go sing the song from A to Z perfectly.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DGk8HU9Kh

"Okay, everyone," came Yong-guk. "We need to put the song on record soon. So while we drink our water and have a bite to eat, let’s divide the song into parts and see who will sing what verse. We’ll have a lot of you for backup vocals."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x2gnRgbeN
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITCZ5GW23r
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFyFESLDBZ
And we did just that. A lot of us will have parts to sing from the first verses, the bridges and the chorus. And those who rap mainly took the second verse, the third and last verses. Let’s not forget that there’s also going to be backup vocals.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC2W7wP60D

Apparently no one left the room. Everyone including Yong-guk and the producer came to join some of us on the couch. The good thing is we were keeping ourselves occupied. Some were on their phones while some of us were engaged in small conversations. It’s then that I remembered that I had a message on my phone.

I looked around and I can feel the uneasiness in the room. This isn’t good. Whatever Johnny has planned is ruining our chance of recording the song, if not the whole album. I would’ve called GD to see if the two of them are together, but I would only end up shouting at him.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKG12muw3m

Mike and Mino did as they were told and Mino did likewise to lock the door behind him. He and Mike stood by the door. Everyone in the room is now silent. We could hear footsteps getting closer and closer. I’m counting two people. Could it be GD and Johnny?364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsY3p9lEyF

364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFpVRi3gl6
There came a knock. With our torches on and pointed at the door, Mike gave a nod of his head that he’ll open it. We all held our breaths as Mike took hold of the door knob. I surely hope it’s not some kind of joke and we end up finding Johnny.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcLecNqMvF

I could hear Zoey murmur beside me. She really wanted to get out there and deal with Johnny herself. But we made a promise to Lee and Collins. We aren’t going to do anything like that from now onwards.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7yxTxu1Tl

We all stood up from our seats and started to make way to the recording room. I stopped for a bit and pulled out my phone. I really want to call GD to find out where he is and if he knows where Johnny is too. I turned to see Lee talking to the guards, obviously telling them to keep an eye out while we work.

I start to wonder how this place could be on lockdown just over Johnny. Did something else have happened that we aren’t aware of? We aren't even aware that we're on lockdown. It will be best to tell the others later so that we can focus on the song. Telling them now will make them panic.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVQ2ZhB2kO
