Producer's Corner

Chapter 9

A/N: It was really hard to write with three different people. I had to make sure I wasn't completely ignoring a third person. To let you know, I do not have experience with heavy anxiety, so I wasn't very confident on how to write Kiki experiencing anxiety. Though I did and am doing research about it.

Kiki walks into HIGHGRND once more, this time without any trouble from the receptionist or anxiety, mostly, and makes her way to the elevator.

She still had nerves racing through her, even if she'd already been to the company. She was scared. Scared of producing with another artist.

No. You've already gone through these questions.

After entering and exiting the elevator, Kiki makes her way to the studio, where 0channel and Colde should be waiting.

Arriving at the studio door, she could barely make out the sound of beats playing. Trying her best to steel her nerves, Kiki knocks on the door.

She heard the beats pause, followed by soft talking before someone yelled. "Is that you, Kiki? Come on in," they said, their voice muffled by the door.

Opening the door, Kiki awkwardly shuffles her way in. "Hello, how are you guys doing?"

Looking up toward Kiki, 0channel says, "Hello. We're doing fine; we weren't really working on anything; it was just something to do for fun."

Nodding at what he said, Colde continues, "This is the studio we'll be working in for the collaboration."

Humming in understanding, Kiki looks around the room for the first time.

Against the wall where the door is, a medium-sized couch sits. Colde sits there with a notebook open in his lap. A coffee table sits in front of them. On the opposite wall is a large desk with producing equipment, and 0Channel sits there facing the door. To the left of the desk is a full-sized keyboard. To the right of the desk, there is a door that leads to a recording room.

"This is a nice studio." Kiki says with a small smile.

Smiling at the small compliment, 0channel gestures towards the couch and asks, "Why don't you take a seat?"

Making her way to the couch, she asks, "Would you like to start on the song, or would you like to do something else? I don't have a deadline for this collaboration."

The two musicians look at each other for a second before looking back at Kiki and saying, "I think we have a few questions for you."

"That's fine. What would you like to know?" Kiki smiles, slightly amused. She stood in front of the couch before deciding to sit on the floor.

Quirking an eyebrow, Heesu asks, "Why are you sitting on the floor?"

Shrugging her shoulders, Kiki leans back against the sofa. "The floor can be quite comfy."

Chuckling slightly, Jiho asks the next question. "Were you born and raised in Korea? Everyone always had to guess where you were from, but just assumed Korea because of the abundance of Korean artist remixes."

Nodding in understanding, she explains, "Kind of. I was born in America and lived there for eleven years before moving to Korea."

"So, you can speak English? It would be really helpful for word play in songs." He questions.

"Yes, I can. One of my best friends is still learning Korean, so I never really lost the ability to speak English. Kind of a weird question, but we can definitely use English in the song if that's what you want."

Heesu asks the next question, jumping at the opportunity. "What got you into producing and songwriting? I mean, you did talk about it for a little bit at the meeting, but I feel like you could add more to that."
