"Okay, I'll tell the members." Hongjoong says, nodding his head softly before he ends the call he's on, slipping his phone in his back pocket with a faint frown.

"Who was that?" Mingi asks, shifting his gaze away from the breakfast placed in front of him.

"Our manager." Hongjoong replies, slipping off his seat and washing his plate and utensils in the sink a few steps away.

"What'd he say?" Seonghwa asks, setting his utensil down and resting his face on the palm of his hand as he looks over at the younger.

"He said all our concerts got postponed due to COVID." Hongjoong replies, a pout forming on his lips as he sits down back at the island with the rest of the members.

"So we can't perform our concerts anymore?" San asks, a frown slowly forming on his lips.

"No more concerts for a while, I suppose." Hongjoong mumbles, his arms folding as his eyes lock on the marble island in front of him.

"But we were looking forward to the world tour~" Jongho whines, pushing his empty plate away from him.

"I know y'all were, we all were. Including the fans. COVID just had to show up and ruin everything." Hongjoong mutters.

"Wait... Does that mean we're stuck in the states?" Yunho asks, his eyes widening the slightest at the sudden realization. "I knew I should've studied English more..."

"Yeah, we can't go back to Korea because they canceled all the flights." Hongjoong replies.

"At least we don't have to practice while we're here." Mingi says, trying to lighten up the gloomy mood.

"How long are we gonna be stuck here for?" Seonghwa asks, brushing off Mingi's comment and sitting back down next to Hongjoong after setting his plate in the sink.

"I don't know, but hey, look at the bright side. We get to be with Y/N more. We can build our friendship with her and have fun with her here while we're quarantined." Hongjoong replies, a little smile replacing his pout as he looks at his fellow bandmates.

"Speaking of Y/N... Where is she anyways?" Seonghwa asks, concern laced in his tone as he looks around.

"She's still asleep. We stayed up too late last night." Yeosang replies, slipping off his chair and heading to the staircase.

"Where are you going?" Wooyoung asks, looking over at the younger with full cheeks.

"Gonna go wake her up. It's almost 1." Yeosang makes his way over to your door, his eyes widening at the sight of your bedroom again. He did see it last night, however, he was too sleep deprived and everything looked ten times more better in the sunlight. He snaps out of his trance once again, retracting his hands from a figurine, before he walks over to your bed.

"Y/N~" Yeosang calls softly, sitting down next to you and poking your cheek lightly "Wake up, it's late. I don't need you sleeping all day." A groan slips out of you as you turn your body around, your back now facing Yeosang as you pull your blanket over your head. The older glares at you and grabs at the soft fabric, brushing off your whines when he pulls your cover off you.

"Hey! I was comfortable!" You whine, covering your face and curling your legs up, your body shivering slightly due to the safety of your warm blankets getting taken away from you.

"Well, you need to get up." Yeosang says a little bluntly as he brushes a few stray strands of hair away from your face.

"I want my blanket."

"No, come on. Get up" When you go to reach for your blanket, you fall forwards and plop down onto Yeosang's lap when he pulls it further away from you. He looks down at you and you look up at him before you stick your tongue out and sit up. You lean your body forward, your arms wrapping around your brother's middle and your head tucking in the crook of his neck as you take in his warmth.

"Go get dressed and come downstairs. The guys have been wondering where you've been. You don't want to keep Seonghwa waiting now, do you?" Yeosang asks, his tone playful. You quickly pull away from the older, your face heating up as he looks at you with a teasing smile.

You land a rather hard hit on his shoulder as you slip off your bed and walk over to your wardrobe. Yeosang run up to you and lands a subtle flick on your temple and runs off before you get the chance to scold him. You glare at your closed bedroom door and grab a change of clothes before shuffling to your rather small bathroom that's luckily connected to your bedroom.

You walk out a few minutes later and toss your dirty clothes in your hamper before looking over at your figurines. You squint at one of your Hatsune Miku figures and turn her around slightly, nodding contently at the slight change before you slip your phone in your back pocket and walk out of your bedroom.

You make your way down the hall, biting your nails out of habit as you jump down the steps on the staircase rather child-like. When you step downstairs, your gaze shifts over to the Teezers sitting and chatting in the living room, faint laughs slipping out of a few of them.

You quietly make your way behind Yeosang and stand behind him for a few seconds before you shake his shoulders aggressively. A squeaky laugh slips out of you when the older jumps harshly, a little scream escaping him before he turns around to face you.

"You freaking scared me." Yeosang mutters, his eye narrowing as he glares at you. "Are you hungry?" You shake your head slightly at the question and walk around the couch, plopping yourself down next to the older and snuggling into his side.

"Yeosang, can we trade siblings please? I want a clingy sister." San asks, mustering the best puppy eyes as he looks over to the two of you.

"No, I'm keeping Y/N." Yeosang replies, wrapping his arms around you and bringing you closer to him. San frowns slightly as Wooyoung looks at you and the guys, rather impatiently.

"Okay, Y/Ns awake and dressed. Can we go now?" Wooyoung blurts out, quickly turning over to Hongjoong and shaking the his shoulder repeatedly.

"Where do you wanna go?" You ask, tucking your head underneath Yeosang's and looking over at the younger.

"Since we're in the states, I was thinking I could get some Jimin photocards that I couldn't get in Korea." Wooyoung replies, a huge smile overtaking his features as he swings his legs back and forth.

"Wooyoung, you have plenty of photocards back at the dorms." Yunho says. "Plus, there's no such thing as 'U.S. limited photocards.' You can get them literally anywhere, especially Korea."

"The first thing you said is true! Not the second one though! There's a thing called lucky draws." Wooyoung says, narrowing his eyes as he looks over at the older.

"I can take him to one of the shops that sells albums." You mumble, not really thinking about what you're getting yourself into at the moment.

"Perfect! Let's go!" Wooyoung blurts out, stumbling off the couch and running over to you. He grabs both your wrists and pulls you out of Yeosang's grip, brushing off the glare he receives from the older.

Wooyoung doesn't even allow you to think about what's happening and drags you to the door, a yelp escaping you as you stumble countless times.

"Wooyoung, wait!" Hongjoong calls, causing the latter to turn around and face the members with a little smile. "You're not leaving without us. I'm not gonna allow you to spend your whole paycheck at one store."

"Yay, we're going!" Wooyoung exclaims happily, not taking a second thought into dragging you out of the house.

"Wait up you two!" Seonghwa exclaims, stumbling off the couch and running after you and Wooyoung, the rest of the members following close behind him.
