During her sleepover with the runners, Minho and her had concocted, what they thought, was the best idea either of them had ever had.

To build bunkbeds.

They discussed, at length, exactly how they would go about completing such a task without the help of the builders - whom they did not want to request help from.

Eventually, they had come to the conclusion that, if the builders could do it, they could do it.

How hard could it be, right?

Well, as it turns out, it was extremely difficult for the pair. Neither of them have the faintest idea on how to build anything, never mind something as complex as bunkbeds.

But they managed it, after several hours, multiple cuts and - they would over-estimate - around a thousand splinters.

Both Adeline and Minho take a step back, admiring their work proudly.

"Thank fuck that's done!" the girl comments, smiling widely up to the bunkbeds while using her arm to wipe away some of the sweat and hair from her forehead.

"I know" Minho comments, curving his hands around his hips, "should of asked the builders to do it. I'm sure your boyfriend wouldn't have minded."

Adeline brings her hand up, curling every finger except her index one and point to the point. "Gonna ignore that last sentence" she says before turning around and lightly smacking the boys arm, "and anyway, haud your wheesht - it looks great!"

"You two finished with those bloody beds yet?"

Adeline and Minho turn around to see Newt and Leon walking into the room.

"Yea, don't they look good?" the girl questions, spinning around and extending her hands out to display all their hard work.

''They don't look very stable...'' Leon observes, taking a step forward and gently shaking one of the beds, flinching back as a nail falls from somewhere above him.

''That's why Newt and Addy are going on the top two.'' Minho states.

''Why do I have to be at the bloody top?''

''Because Newt'' Minho starts, lifting the boys arm up and inspecting it, "you're a lanky shank."

Newt scoffs and rips his arm out of Minho's grip. ''Fine, but I'm not gonna be the one to try them first.''

Adeline merely rolls her eyes at the boy. "They'll hold just fine. Have some faith!"

''Why did you two want to make bunkbeds in here anyway?'' Leon asks, his eyes still scanning over every sharp piece of wood sticking out of their creation.

''Isn't it obvious? So we can have girly sleepovers every night.''

"Minho's right" Adeline confirms, pointing over her shoulder at the boy stood behind her.

She takes a step forward, smacking her hands together while looking to each boy with a wide grin. "Right, time to test these babies out! Minho, Newt, give me a boost."

Minho and Newt do as requested, crouching down on either side of her and interlocking their hands together so the girl has somewhere to put her foot.

Once the the two are in position, Adeline places her hands on the edge of the top bunk, her head facing down with one foot on the ground and the other foot resting on Minho and Newt's palms.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?"

Adeline whips her head to the side to look at Leon, her body still frozen in place. "It'll be fine" she scoffs lightly.
