"Okay, so we already know we just want Vin and Minzy to do a cover of Jason Mraz's Lucky. We got the rights to that." Teddy explained as we all sat up in the recording studio. The four of us that had to record were sitting on the couch in the small room, the order being Vincent, myself TOP, and Minzy. Vinny really needed to step up his game and actually interract with Minzy...

Teddy looked at TOP and I. "You two are going to do a song Kush and I have written. We were going to have it be a song between Bom and Jiyong, but you two would be better."

Choice stood and handed the four of us lyric sheets. I looked down at mine.

The Way was the name of the song.

"The song is going to be a little bit tough for your first recording, Nat." Kush told me. "It has an R&B feel to it. It needs a powerful voice like Bom's."

"Did you hear how strong she was belting out those Adam Lambert notes?" Teddy scoffed. "My babygirl is going to be fine."

Babygirl?

"Let's have Vin and Minz go ahead and practice their song a bit. Natalia and Top, read over your lyrics." Choice instructed us. "And, Vincent, we have the guitar chords, too. We're going to record that as well."

Vinny nodded and looked at Choice. "Can I get the chord sheet for the guitar part? I wanna practice that before I get in there."

While Choice and Kush were scrambling around to find the music for the guitar part, Teddy rolled over to TOP and I by his chair. "What do you guys think?"

TOP looked at his first part of lyrics and read:

I say,
I'm thinkin' bout her every second, every hour
Do my singin' in the shower
Pickin' petals off of flowers like
Do she love me, do she love me not?
I ain't a player, I just crush a lot

"See, you already have the rhythm down!" Teddy beamed. He nodded us over and we followed him to the front of the recording studio, the section where all the equipment was. He pushed over the remaining chair.

"Go ahead." TOP told me, nodding at the chair.

"No, I'm fine." I insisted, even though my heels were killing me. Recording in a crop top and bodycon skirt wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but there was no time.

TOP sighed and sat down. I went to go stand between him and Teddy, but was swept off of my feet by TOP wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me down into his lap.

I.... I was sitting in TOP's lap!

Teddy let out a chuckled and looked at us. "So, what? You two like a thing now?"

"Uh-" I started.

"Can't say yes to that yet." TOP sighed. "She is making me take her out on a few more dates."

"That was just until I agree to sleep in your bed again." I looked at TOP.

"Wha-?!?" Teddy exclaimed, stairng at the both of us.

I gasped, realizing what I had just said. "N-no! Not like that! Like, literally taking a nap! Sleeping as in sleeping!"

TOP and Teddy both laughed, and TOP's arm tightened around my waist.

"Chill, babygirl." Teddy chuckled. "I'm joking with you. You two being a thing? Cool. It's got my vote."

"Yeah, it's about time Hyun-ie got into dating." Kush added. "And if he dates an Italian bombshell like you, Nat, every fan is going to flip."

"How am I a bombshell? Like seriously?" I asked. So many people, including news sites and comments for my pictures on Twitter, had been calling me that, but the definition of a bombshell for me was Park Bom. She was tiny, but had curves, yet was stick-thin. And she had that perfectly-shaped face and nose, and those doll-like eyes. It was angering how pretty she was.

"The tan." Kush said to me.

"The height." Choice added.

"The face of an Italian queen." Teddy smirked.

"The abs of a work-out addict." TOP squeezed my waist again.

"s." Kush smirked, causing me to cover my face.

"Those hips." Choice clicked his tongue.

"Dat ." Teddy howled.

"Those bright blue eyes with the purple sparkles." TOP said as he pulled me back against his chest and put his chin on my shoulder.

"Them legs, though!" Teddy tapped my tanned calves with his Nike high-top. "Face it, baby girl. You're pretty smoking damn y hot!"

"Nice description." I winced. There was no way I was that. They were crazy.

I sat up and scooted forward so I was just sitting on TOP's knee. He sat up, too, and grabbed the lyrics sheet.

Teddy handed us each a pair of Beats by Dr. Dre. "We have the instrumental beat down. Go ahead and listen."

Teddy pressed play when we had the headphones in, and I couldn't help but feel nervous as we listened to it. It was definitely more of an R&B Mariah Carey-esque feel. I wasn't good enough to do something like that. I barely nailed Adam Lambert's song.

I jumped when I saw my phone vibrate on the table in front of me, and I leaned forward to look at it.

A notification from Twitter:

VinnyMarcs: them two, tho... #reallynow #sickinglysweet #aegyooverload #helpme #barf #TOP @NatalianBombshell

 I unlocked my phone and looked at the picture.

Vinny literally had just taken it minutes ago, because it was TOP and I in the chair we were in now, me sitting at the edge of his knees like I was now, TOP's arm draped around my waist, hand landing on my furthest thigh, and we both had the headphones on, the lyric's sheet in TOP's other hand as we looked at the lyrics. It was mostly our back to the camera.

"Vinny!" I couldn't help but growl as I felt anger burn through my veins. Fans were going to see this. More-so, they were probably going to think I was a for sitting on TOP's lap. Korean fans were extremely touchy and conservative about this stuff.

I stood and stomped over to my brother, taking his guitar away from him roughly and setting it down. "Hey!" Vincent exclaimed.

"You are so freaking stupid!" I shouted. "Putting that picture on Twitter? Are you oblivious?!? There are going to be angry fangirls! What were you thinking?!?" I dove on top of my brother and began to push him around. I switched my language to Italian, too. "Korea isn't used to seeing stuff like that, espcially if they aren't dating! I'm going to get chewed out, and so is TOP! And what about when YG finds out, huh? I'm dead! Dead!" I tried prying Vinny's arms away from blocking his face as he tried to defend himself.

"Natalia! Stop! Please! You're hurting me!" Vincent shouted back in Italian.

"Oh you think I'm hurting you now?" I snapped. I took off one of my spiked heels and rose it above my head. "Well then this is-"

I was pulled off of my brother quickly as he tried to shield his face.

"Control your woman, man!" Vinny shouted at TOP as TOP set me back down in his lap. My other heel had fallen off.

"Control your idiocracy!" I screeched back. I threw my shoe at him, which he ducked.

"Can we please just get back to recording?" Teddy asked us. "Everything is going to be okay."

"You almost smashed my guitar." Vinny grumbled and grabbed his guitar from the wall.

"Oh, why don't you call it by it's real name? Mingkki." I smirked smugly at my brother, who's face turned a deep crimson color.

Minzy looked at my brother hesitantly. "Y-you named your guitar.... after me?" She asked quietly.

"I was a fan, okay?" Vinny said quietly, tuning his guitar. "It's a pretty name and my guitar is like my girl." He looked at Choice 37. "Did you find the chord sheet?"

Choice nodded and handed him the sheet. TOP and I rolled back over to Teddy.

"I called in the big guns." Teddy sighed and leaned back in his own seat.

The door opened, and in walked Jiyong. He immediately looked at me. "I heard you were having some confidence issues, baby. I'm here to save you."

"This is a pure Park Bom R&B song." I sighed. "I was shaky just doing Adam Lambert's song."

"You sounded good with it. Come on. Let's practice."

-------

"Baby, go up another note on me, when you sing baby you got me-ee-ee." Jiyong told me when he pressed the button so I could hear in the booth. When he told me, he rose his finger up to show my current pitch, then rose it higher to show the change.

I nodded once and tapped my bare toes against the carpet in the booth. I had chosen to stand because I felt like I could breathe better. I put the headphone to my ear. "I'm ready."

Jiyong did the playback, and I tried what he told me. As soon as it ended, Teddy stopped the music and Jiyong spoke. "We're going to have Top come in and do his raps and then we're going to have you add in the harmonies. Come on out."

I walked out of the room, exhausted. I didn't know singing could be so tiring. I had been in there for a good two hours.

Jiyong handed me a water, and I took it and lowered myself down onto the ground so I was leaned back on Ji's legs since he was leaning against one of the tables. I took a drink of water, and Jiyong moved his leg a little to get my attention. I looked up at him and he spoke. "You did really well, baby. I'm surprised. It just takes a little bit to get comfortable."

I crossed my ankles over each other and rested my head back against the leader. "My throat kind of hurts already."

"That's normal." Teddy told me. He reached over to a cabinet and pulled out some cough drops. "These will help."
