They didn't have much. All their stuff fit in just a few boxes so it was really not worth bothering the others with it and asking them to help carry them. Yet, the Dreamies insisted and so each of the boys took a box and carried it up into Jaemin and Jie's new apartment. 

"Woah~" Jisung exhaled as he stepped inside. "It's nice!" 

"It's spacious too," Chenle noted, sounding almost a little jealous. "Maybe I should move out too--"

"No!" Haechan interjected. "No one else is moving out, I am not losing another one of you." 

Which caused Jaemin to frown. "You didn't lose us. We are literally across the street." 

Haechan wiped an imaginary tear away as he looked off somewhere far into the distance.
"Sometimes I can still hear his voice." 

Smiling at his act, Jie grabbed the older boy's hand and dragged him with her over to the living room. She didn't let go until she reached the window at its very end, then opened it and pointed outside. 

"That window right there," she began, then glimpsed at Haechan to make sure he saw it. When he gave her a small nod, she continued. "Is the window in yours and Renjun's room." 

Lips slightly apart, he hummed a surprised oh. "Really?" 

"Yeah. So if you ever want to randomly see one of us and decide that a four-minute walk is too much effort, just call us and we will meet you at the window." 

Jaemin agreed before noting, "You could also just video call but I guess that works too." 

"Jie," Renjun said as he entered the room. "You guys don't have much furniture yet." 

"I know, we will go shopping tomorrow." 

"Can I come along?" Jisung asked quickly. 

"Same," Chenle said. "You need someone with a sense of style to guide you." 

Renjun sighed. "I guess I should join you too then." He made it sound like he was sacrificing himself for the greater good. 

Jaemin frowned slightly whereas Jie seemed amused by their not so subtle attempts to pretend like this situation was some sort of force majeure.  

Haechan put a hand around Jie's shoulders. "Let us know when you are going, we will help you two out." 

"How kind of you," Jie said jokingly. 

Just as he said that, the door fell shut. A few moments later, Jeno joined them in the living room, brushing his hands off on his trousers. 

"Okay, all done," he said after having carried the last box inside. "Do you need anything else?" 

Jaemin quickly shook his head. "No, thank you Jeno." 

"Any time," he said in return, then looked around, checked the time on his phone. "Will the WayV boys not come visit? I thought they would want to inspect the apartment as soon as possible?" 

"They stopped by the other day," Jie said. "Since you guys are here today, I told them to come tomorrow so it wouldn't be too crowded." 

Jisung looked around, motioned towards the room he stood in. "It's pretty spacious." 

"If it's just us, yeah," Jaemin agreed. 

"By the way you two don't even have a bed," Chenle pointed out. "Is the mattress really enough?"
