"GET THE LADY SOMETHING TO DRINK!" Chenle shouted from the kitchen which resulted in Jisung quickly rushing over to Jie. 

He smiled at her. "What do you want to drink?" 

"Water is fine," she replied, trying not to laugh at their chaotic behaviour. 

Nodding curtly, Jisung stood with his back straight as he yelled, 
"SHE WANTS WATER!"

"WELL THEN COME AND GET HER SOME!" Chenle shouted back, making Jisung let out a soft 'oh right' before he ran into the kitchen. 

Looking around, Jie tried to get a good look at her surroundings. 

There were family pictures on the walls next to a shelf full of other items that held important memories. 

There was a cactus to her right. Snacks on the coffee table. Random items here and there. 

And in between that mess were folders and files, a small whiteboard with hard-to-read handwriting on it. 

"You work from home a lot, right?" she asked a little absent-mindedly. "I don't see you at the office much." 

Jaemin agreed. "Yeah, it's more convenient." 

Jeno pressed his elbows into the table and leaned a little closer. "How are you feeling? You had a long day at work yesterday." 

"I'm fine, don't worry," Jie replied thankfully. 

"Good," Jeno said, right as Renjun came into the room, carrying a plate. He placed it on the table, then sat down next to Jeno. 

"Thanks for the ride by the way," Renjun said. Although confused for a second, Jaemin quickly noticed that the girl just nodded in return. 

"No problem." 

What? When? 

Jaemin looked at Jie with curiosity. "When did you give them a ride?" 

"Last night," she said. "They came for drinks at the bar. They drank too much, so I drove them home. Good thing I brought my car; I don't usually do that." 

"They?" Jaemin just asked, right as another figure made their way into the room. 

Haechan carried a pot over to the table. "Renjun and me." 

"Why didn't you tell me you were going?" Jaemin muttered. 

Renjun scoffed. "And take you along so that you can worry about her for the entire night?" 

"Who said I would have done that?" 

Haechan frowned. "Us." 

"WATER!" Jisung shouted randomly as he brought a plate and a glass of water into the room, placed the latter in front of the girl. 

"Thanks."

"You are welcome." And with that, he sat down next to her, smiling widely. "See, I told you I would invite you over for food." 

"Right," she agreed. "But I also told you there is no need to." 

"When did you discuss that?" Jaemin asked, baffled. 

Jisung looked up. "A while ago?" He leaned forward a little to glimpse past Jie at Jaemin. "Hyung, do you remember what I told you a while ago?" 

"You met twice, I can't believe you like her so much," Jaemin said.
