3rd pov

"Okay Taehyung-ah! Let's start from the first verse", Hyundo said. "Ne hyung", Taehyung said through the microphone after wearing the headphone. The recording went well, until the chorus.

V's pov

I'm glad that the recording goes well, for now. But then, I am having a hard time at the chorus. I don't know if I am the one who made mistakes or Hyundo hyung is too perfectionist.

"Taehyung-ah! What's wrong with the beat?," I can hear him through the headphone. "The melody is kind of hard to follow because most of them are off-beat", I said. "You are the one who made the melody! How can you say it is hard?", I can hear his voice filled with anger now. "I'll try again hyung", not wanting to delay more time, I continue to try.

I am still stuck at the chorus even after trying for many times. It feels like my voice will be one soon. But, I need to move from this part. I can't even record the other part fist because all the melody link with each other. "Hyung, can we stop for a moment?", I asked. "Okay. Come out first", he said. I can hear him sighing though.

"What's wrong Taehyung-ah? Why can't you follow the beat? You can do it when recording the demo", Hyundo hyung started when I sat on the sofa. "Hyung, I asked someone else to record it", cautiously I said. "What?! You know what Taehyung-ah, this is your song! You are the one who should record the demo!", he said furiously. I look at him. "Hyung, our songs' demo are all from other people!". He sigh again, for a couple times now, then continue, "That's your album. Of course aomeone else have to do it. But this is your mixtape. You said you want to show ARMY your heart. Then, you should think of them and finish your songs by your own."

His words make me go silent. Is it true? Does ARMY want me to do it myself? Am I being too heartless about this?

"Okay hyung. Then, can you help me with the beat?", I asked Hyundo hyung. "of course! Let's do this". We get into the recording booth again. The other producer (you can say that he is Hyundo hyung's helper) came to help with the MR. "Play the chorus part", he told him.

I can feel his hand on my back, tapping to keep me on beat. It is kind of uncomfortable for me as I haven't do this before. "Hyung, can you tap me somewhere else?", I asked him. He stop first then nodded, "I can tap you with my foot." I nodded with that, thinking that it will be more comfortable than the tap on my back.

I have to record it for many times that it takes so much time, like an hour. Even my foot starts to hurt from the tapping. I look down to see that Hyundo hyung is wearing shoes that look like a boot. No wonder it hurt a little. "Hyung, can we rest for a little bit?", I suggest. "No. We must finish this early so you can work on the other songs." "But-", before I could finish, he cut me, "Just drink some water and let's continue."

The recording goes on for another hour and my foot is hurting so much. I can't even dare to say that because he will cut me before I could speak.

We listen to the recording again and again. Finally, he smiles. "Okay, we can use this one." "Really hyung?". "Yup. Let's continue the recording tomorrow. It's getting late." "Thanks hyung. You can go first.", I said. Hyundo hyung then left.

I go out from the booth and sat down on the sofa. I take a look at my foot. This is my unlucky day I guess because I am wearing slippers. My fingers are already red but thankfully it's not bleeding. But still, it hurts to be stepped with a boot. I rest my foot first before going home. I don't want the members to see it. In the car, I put on my headphone and play some musics.

It doesn't matter even if I am hurt. As long as it has a good result and ARMY love it, right?
