twelve.

the van finally pulled into the group's dorm, jieun's heart feeling as if it were to pump out of her chest at any given moment.

she asked herself why in the world she was feeling so jittery— but of course, she'd known the answer all along.

the manager helped mr sim unload their luggage from the back, jaeyun leading the way for his sister and mother. "i'm not sure how clean they have it, so i'm sorry if it's messy," he let out a small, airy chuckle, punching in the code before opening the door.

jieun wasn't sure what exactly she was expecting before stepping foot into the boys' dorm— perhaps it was the otherworldly image k-entertainment companies released to the world about their idols that'd caused her to think she was about to walk into an organized, clutter-free house.

oh how wrong she was.

of course, with the selectively clean members, she could tell the dorm would be way worse without their place in the team — but it was still bad.

jieun, as nearly everyone who's gotten the pleasure of meeting her is aware of, is a perfectionist. she could feel the stress of how much work she'd voluntarily pick up already piling on her shoulders.

"i'm home!" jaeyun announced, his voice echoing through the hallway. "in here!" sounded from the living room, undoubtedly the eldests' voice.

the sim trio removed their shoes before taking any more steps, jieun silently sucking in a nervous breath as her heart continued beating at an unnormal rate.

she trailed in behind her mother and jaeyun, the 2% introvert unleasing itself for the first time in a long time.

five of the boys were lined up in the middle of the room, greeting mrs sim with deep bows.

"why are you hiding, ji?" jaeyun asked as he lightly tugged on her sleeve, bringing her in front of his members.

"jieun-ie!" sunghoon was quick to exclaim, almost immediately raising his arms as he walked towards the girl, the pair meeting eachother in an embrace.

"hey! she's mine!" ni-ki exclaimed from where he stood, the blond forcing the older's arms off the girl before hugging her himself. "mine." he said, glaring at the park boy, claiming his territory.

the maknae and jieun had instantly clicked during their call, their similar sense of humour bringing them to becoming close friends in the span of a mere two minutes.

it'd already became a headache for her older brother.

the members took small amounts of time to introduce themselves to mrs sim after they were finally able to stop sunghoon and ni-ki's fight — which, yes, did take upwards of ten minutes.

jieun was too focused on her younger best friend's introduction to notice the shower's water stop running, and a whole five minutes pass by before the door opened.

"ah! he's finally here!"

jieun didn't think twice before looking away from ni-ki — lightly gasping as she came across those cat-like eyes she'd become enthralled with.

"jieun?"
"jungwon?"
the boys called out as they caught the pair from falling, their visions going pitch black for only a second before coming back to normal.

weird..?
