Doyoung crossed his left leg over his right one as he sat down in the living room. He took a deep breath, a sip of his water and then allowed his gaze to brush over the scene. 

He was quick to realize that his friends, as well as Doyoung himself, had way too much free time. 

So much free time, in fact, that Jaemin staying with Jie for the duration of her recovery resulted in the rest of the Dreamies coming to visit every day. 

And Jie staying here in order to be close to Doyoung until he allowed her to leave and move around freely, resulted in WayV coming to visit every day. 

So, for the last few days, it had been loud at 127's. Most of the time the house's few rooms had to hold 22 people. The only ones that actually had to work on something were Shotaro and Sungchan. 

But even they were planning to visit today. 

24.

Doyoung sighed. His eyes fell onto Jisung who stood in the kitchen next to Yuta, Jaehyun and Chenle. 

"Is the water hot yet?" Jisung wondered. 

Yuta shrugged. "Just put your pinky in it, you'll know." It was a joke, obviously. Or at least it was obvious to Yuta who quickly opened his eyes wide as he pulled Jisung away from the pot. "Wait no-!" 

Chenle was laughing. 

Jaehyun just stood there. 

At that point, Mark came running into the room. He was breathless, looked almost distraught. 

"GUYS I LOST RENJUN!" Mark shouted, panic resonating in every single word of his. He stood with his fingers stretched out, palms flatly pressed against his thighs, eyes wide. 

"What happened?!" Johnny asked right away, lost somewhere between panic and confusion. 

"We were playing hide and seek but I can't find him anywhere! I know he is kind of small so it's easy for him to hide but I'm still worried that he--"

Just as he said that, he got cut off. There was a loud sigh coming from underneath the sofa. Jeno jumped up, looked at it with wide eyes as he watched Renjun crawl out from underneath. 

"When did you hide there?" Jeno asked in confusion. 

"Forty minutes ago," Hendery said, sitting there completely unimpressed. 

Meanwhile, Mark couldn't hold back his bright smile. 

"Renjun!" he exclaimed happily. But Renjun wasn't happy at all.

"Did you just call me small?"

There was a pause after that. 

"I-"

Mark ran away. 

A knock broke up the noise. Since Doyoung saw no one else make a move to get up, he got up himself, dragging his feet across the floor. He made a vague attempt to check the peephole first before pulling the door open.

"Hey hyung!" Shotaro said happily. 

"You look tired," Sungchan noted, after having said a brief 'hello'. "Have you been busy?" 

Doyoung hummed to himself as he thought about it. "Kind of." He looked the two up and down before taking a step back and opening the door more so they could enter comfortably. "You are here for Jie?"
