I Found You: Siren's Voice

Chapter 5

It was the next day. The white noise of the studio room accompanies Viro as he sat there, eyeing the screen of his laptop as he hums while viewing the edits he's been doing. Early in the morning, he had received a text from Evelynn, requesting his time to go to the studio. Of course, he complied, and it's been about four hours since that message was sent. But he didn't seem to mind as he just continued working, looking at the clock from time to time.

It didn't take long for her to arrive, with someone else. Viro greeted them as they stepped inside, surprised to see Akali there.

"I hope we didn't take too much of your time, Viro." Evelynn spoke, "We would've arrived earlier, but unfortunately someone needed a severe amount of persuasion."

Viro glanced at Akali, who seemed to be embarrassed, covering her face with her cap. "I-I told you... I could've asked him myself."

"You told me that last time."

Curious Viro asked, "Ask me what? Is it something important?"

Evelynn looked over at Akali and said, "It's about the song."

"Oh, I see. Do you want to add something? Or maybe redo your vocals?"

Akali looked back at Evelynn as well. The diva nodded as she took a deep breath. Facing Viro, she answered, "I want to add a part in, a... rap part actually..."

Viro immediately understood, as his ears perked up. "Oh! Alright then... uhm, how should we do it? Do you have some lyrics already? I can make you part right now." He says his attention switches from them, to the script, and to the song.

Evelynn smiled at Viro. His enthusiasm and excitement made her feel a certain way, which is to say that other people feel it as well. Akali's shyness seems to be drifting slowly away as she unfolds a piece of paper that she took from her pocket, "I have something written here if you want to take a look."

As Viro takes it, there were a lot of revisions already on the paper, a lot of crossed out words, and modified lines. He figured that the others must've helped Akali since he could see Ahri's writing there.

"Alright, alright." He then turns to his laptop and immediately starts to work on something. "Hey Li! Why don't you seat here." He ushers her beside him as he takes off one of his earphones to offer her, "So you can take a listen and figure things out."

Akali smiled as she hurried to a seat right next to him. As the two formed their own little world there, Evelynn chuckled, though as her phone rang she excused herself as it was another important call to take.

———————————————————————————

It seemed that the phone call took longer than expected as Evelynn came back to the room. She found that Akali was already in the recording room while Viro was fiddling with a few knobs and buttons.

"Was that good?" Akali asked.

"That's great, yeah!" Viro replied, "You want to go with that for the rest of the beat or?"

He smiled as he looked over the script one more time. Evelynn made her presence known as she went over to them.

"How is she doing?" She asked.

"Oh, welcome back!" He greeted "As for Kali, I think you can see that for yourself."

A big grin was seen on her face. Akali was having fun, a lot more fun than she would've thought. She noticed Evelynn as well as she waved at her. Viro tapped her, turning to see that he was offering one of the earbuds.

"Take a listen." He says, "We're wondering if the flow is good enough, so a third-party perspective will do."

The diva nodded. She'd heard of Akali's excellent talent for rapping before, especially in those videos floating around the internet, making it the reason why they decided to ask her to be a part of their group in the first place. Clearly, she approved of it as there was a smile on her face.
